Columbia's first baseball game with q
local nine will be played this after.
noon, when the Morningside college
meets New York University on South
Field. Both teams have played large
part of their schedule, this being Co.

the bag in the Cornell game, will go to
centre field. These are the only
changes that Coach Coakley will make.
He says that he will start Tommy Far

In order to tune up his new arrange
ment in the infeld the Columbia coach

Veteran Golfers to Open
Play at Lakewood Today

The tournament season in the North
will be opened this spring. as usual,
with the annual spring tournament of
the Country Club of Lakewood, which
will be held tomorrow, Friday and
Saturday.
Preceding this tournament is the
seniors competition for the Stanley
Memorial Cup, an event that is lin
tied to golfers of ffty-fve years of
age and over. twill be the feature
to-day. Many of the golfers entered
in the big tournament will take the
advantage. of practice round over the
course to-day.
The Richmond County Country Club
has cancelled its weekly competitions
on account of the war and the club
will not hold tournament this year.
1t will doubtless keep up the annual
competitions for the Branch and Hun
ter medals, which have been in annual
club competition since 1897.
A few interclub team matches may
be played and the club will be repre-
sented in the Staten Island champion
ship, which will be played this year
over the Fox Hills Golf Club course.
About fifty of the members have
gone to the war. The course will be
kept in frst-class condition, however,
for those who desire to play.
The Tuxedo Golf Club will not be
very active this season, on account Of
the war, but there may be number
of competitions for the benefit of the
Red Cross. No improvements are be-
ing made to the course.
The Bedford Golf and Tennis Club
will hold no Journeys this year, on ac-
count of the war. The links and
courts will be kept in good order for
those who desire to play, but. the i'm
preston is that but few of the mem
bers will display much vim.
Thus far the Metropolitan Golf As
sociation has only had two applica-
tions made for dates. The Sleepy Hol-
low Country Club, Scarborough
Hudson, has been granted June 13, ID
and Is for an invitation tournament,
and June 20, 21 and % las been grant
ed for the Westchester County golf
championship for the Red Cross, to
be played over the Siwanoy Links.

Giant Pickups

Though he got but one safety, and
that a scratch, Ross Young showed ver-
satilty of style, to say the least.
Twice he connected solidly and twice
he bunted prettily. He drew pass on
his other appearance.
Larry Doyle ran George Burns a
close second for batting honors. His
double started Crum on the road to
ruin. On each of his next two appear
ances Larry singled sharply. He scored
one run and drove home three others.
Zim's great arm lost out by inches
on near double play in the first
round. He rclayed Sallee's throw, that
forced Massey, so quickly and accu-
rately across the diamond to Holke that
Bob Emsle would not have been very
much out of the way had he awarded
the double killing. Kelly is a fast
man, too.
Sallce held the Dodgers to seven hits,
at least two of which were pretty
nearly gifts Fletcher would easily
have nailed Rehg in the fourth had not
Hcinc Zimmerman got in the way.
Wilson'S double was case of misjudg-
ment on the part of Burns, aided and
abetted by treacherous sun.
Wilhoit robbed Olaf Wilson of an
extra base hit in the ninth when. he
sprinted away back nearly to the fence
for a high fly. Wilhoit seemed almost
as much surprised as the crowd when
he made the catch. He did lot Of
flirting on the Way back,
Canavan probably would not have
been scored upon in the sixth if Smith
had been trife moro accurate in
fielding Sallce's bunt. He had plenty
to hurry to head the fleet Indian
Thorpe, and drew Herzog off the bag
for the throw.
Pep Young pulled the wool over Her
zog's eyes when he stole in the eighth
inning. Charlie had the ball yards
ahead of the RUNNER, but Young
hooked around him. Herzog gave him
self away by going back after Ross a
second time.
Stallings used only one spare-Tra-
gessor, who pinch-hit for Canavan in
the ninth inning. McGraw's heavy con-
tribution to the Typographical union
WAS prompted by generosity toward tho
health of his regulars. There is a limit
to human endurance.

Boxing News and Notes
By FRED HAWTHORNE.

Amt human nature a KURIOUS
KUSS? We all remember the time,
don't we. brothers and sisters, when
Joking Jess Willard just wouldn't fight,
even when we all made faces at him
and said snippy things behind his back,
and put chips on his shoulder?
And then came the great day, when
Joking Jess Mortified every one of us
by saying he would fight Fred Zero
cious" Fulton for the heavyweight
championship-just like that! And, so
the good Colonel Joe Miller, of Bliss,
Oklahoma, who used to run a circus
and had an intimate acquaintance with
side show freaks, naturally felt a
friendly feeling for Jess, and offered to
stage the bout.
The whole State of Connecticut de-
clared a holiday, and fight managers,
promoters, BARRIERS, bootblacks and
everybody bought excursion tickets to
New York and went to see Colonel Mil
Ter. And the colone. listened to the
dazzling offers from Georgetown. New
Haven, Redding, Bridgeport, East Chol-
era and Mumpsvike. When everybody
had put in their bids Tor the bout
Colonel Joe took out little check
from his wallet and laid it on IT, !, table
and asked the bidders to "call it." 1t
was only for $4,000, as a guarantee
that the bout would be pulled off, but
as soon as they blinked at the check
the promoters, etc, etc, uttered strange
cries and rushed from the room and
back on the 5:13 for Georgetown,
Branchville and points East.
Then Colonel Miller put his diamonds
back in the moth balls and hoped a
train for the West, where silver dol
lars grow on pumpkin plants and S1O0
bills fill the waste-paper cans on the
street corners. Colorado, New Mexico
and Nevada promoters busted off the
chairs and ficked specks off Colonel

share of the honors on Friday and Sat-
