Freakiish Plays
Enliven Match
On Golf Links

P1NEHURST, N. c., March z.-Mrs.
Dorothy Campbell Hurd, of Pittsburgh.
and John D. Chapman, of Greenwich,
played against Mrs. Chapman and Alex
ander Ross, the Detroit and Pinehurst
professional, at Pinehurst to-day. the
match being featured at the start by
an incident CT decidedly unusual va
riety
Chapman and Ross started off with
lengthy drives for the first hole on the
championship course, and when Chap
man smote his ball with a spoon for
his second shot it reached the green,
struck the flag and came to rest a toto
from the cup for an easy on this par
5 hole Then Ross played his second
shot. and his forlorn hope grazed
Chapman's ball, where it lay on the
green, rolled gently up against the pin
and left him with an one-inch putt to
halve the hole.
The records reveal no other occasion
on which eagles havebecn made on this
hole by two players in the same match,
and 1t is an open question whether this
freak of golf has ever been duplicated
IN IT'S entirety on any course.
Continuing the match. Ross reached
the turuin 35 and came nome in 36 for
par II, despite s o the par thir-
teenth. Mrs. Hurd kept up the good
work she has been doing on the cham
pionshlp course of late by going out in
30 and coming home in 43 for an 49,
two strokes behind her record fgre of
81. made on this course last week

me record string of siXty-tive shoot
ers, and the keenest battle Of the sea
sen for the hign gun honors, were the
outstanding features at the Travers
Island traps yesterday. Two clay-rock X
experts finished level for the high
scratch gun. They were r. L. SPOTS,
the eX-amdteur champion, and J. P.
Donovan, the actual score for both
being 96 breaks out of the possible 100.
II anything the work of SPOTS was
trlle more meritorious as he shot
"stralghts" in his first two races, and
this means that he hit fifty birds with
out miss. Of course, the day was
good and the light was excellent. the
two things that contributed much to-
ward the success Of the whole shoot
In order to decide the ownership of the
prize shoot-of was necessary This
was cleverly won by Donovan.
An evidence that the entire string Of
shooters is getting on edge is given
by the scores of fifteen others, all of
whom beat an actual tally of 90. Two
tied for second place with o. These
were w. B. Ogden and J. II. Wander
veer, while Dan Mcmahon and B. Ell
dred hung up tallies of 90 each George
J. Corbett, W c. Bowers and "Zack"
Rogers were abreast with 90.
Fifteen Tie for Prize
For the high handicap gun no fewer
than fifteen tied for the prize with full
tallies of 100, and there was no way of
deciding the ownership of the medal
except by shoot-off A race of 25
birds was ordered, and the winner
turned up in Richard M. Owen, who
made a perfect score.
In the minor races "straights" count
except for the accumulation cup, where
all with perfect scores of 25 are cred
tied with legs. For the Travers Island

Fordham Plans
To Put Second

1t was decided yesterday at Ford
nam University to have a second
nine this season. Although freshman
baseball teams have been organized for
a number of years, it is several sea-
sons since a second combination has
represented the Maroons. No call for
candidates will be issued. as there will
be enough material from those PLAYERS
who try for but fail to make the var

The decision to have another team
TINS season was reached after a meet
ing of the alumni advisory board last
week. AT the meeting it was suggested
to organize another nine, which would
primarily play only military teams
Games with other mines, however, will
also be secured. Thus Fordham will
be able to accommodate camp teams
when the varsity is engaged.
Frank Mcmahon, assistant manager
of baseball, will book the games for
the team.
The baseball candidates are having
strenuous daily sessions in the gymna-
SUM. The battery candidates, how
ever, are the only ones to derive anv
real benefit, on account of the small
space. and all hands are eagerly await

Lined Up With Trazee
Practically all of the Red Sox have
lined up with Harry Frazee. The Cubs,
Reds and Pirates have three-quarters
of their talent assured and most of
the veterans included. 1t is believe d
the Yankees are in pretty good shape,
though few contracts have been an
nounced as yet. Connie Mack has still
pile of rounding up to do But then
Connie sold off his ball club deliber-
ately, creating the confusion that now
confronts him. Clark Griffith, of Wash
ington. has none of note Ineligible ex-
cept Walter Johnson and Eddie Foster.
These are indispensables and will be
satisfied somehow. Branch Hickey, in
st. Louis, and George Stallings, in Bos-
ton, are perhaps in worse shape than
any other of the majors.
Charley Herzog is causing the chief
annoyance to the Hub promoters. He
is said to be attempting to hold up
Boston for a bonus of $4,000 and an
extension of one year OF his $4,000
contract. That would keep the wolf
from the door till the end Of 1919 Her.

suit for 1898, claim for salary de-
Quoted during his absence from the
team without leave, against the New
York club. If everything said of Her
zog is true, his lawyers must be in a
happy state of mind. Gossip has it
that if Charley loses out in his battle
of wits against the New York and Bos-
ton clubs he will file suit for heavy
damages against a prominent railway
corporation for serious injuries suf-
fered in depot early last season.
The citizens of Greenville, S. c.,

Manager Miller Higgins Of the Yam
KEGS and Walter Hapgood business
manager of the Braves, have both sent
assurances to Greenville's citizens that
everything possible will be done to aid
the patriotic cause. The clubs will set
a good example to the players by lib
eral purchases of bonds. The players
will be asked to lend their personal CO.

citizens may have in mind.

iicH ne HdSCened pack from Cuba
a short time ago the leader of the
serious obstacles in the matter Of
",hold-outs." No less than half a
dozen veteran players who were in
strumentai In the winning pennant
night of 1917 had returned unsigned to
the local National League club the
1918 documents presented to them be-
cause of dissatisfaction over salaries
named.
Within a week McGraw has been
able to corral the three most essen
tlal of the dissatisfied. A short in
J1eerVlew brought Outtielder George
Burns into line. Sallee, next impor-
lhree" southpaws, was won over by
long distance telephone. Now Schupp
has deserted the "hold-out" ranks.
Davey Robertson. Arthur Fletcher
and Poll Perrltt remain without the
pale. The loss of Fletcher would be a
body blow, of course, but there ap-
pears no occasion for worry on that
score. McGraw is convinced that he
can get Arthur's signature in few
minutes once he comes into personal
contact with him. The difference of
opinion as to salary values is slight.
Fletcher IS to be the captain Of the
Giants in 1918, and this office, aside
from the glory, pays handsome cash
bonus.
Is Perritt Serious?
If Southern papers are to be relied
upon, perritt is the most serious Of
all the hoidouts. He said he has es-
tabllshed himself in a we'll paying au-
tomobile business down in Louisiana
and intends to retire from the game.
1t is more than probable, however, that
such propaganda has been sent out
to scare the New York club into un-
buckllng its purse. But, irrespective of
Perrltt's seriousness, the fact remains
that he could be spared more easily
this season than last Perritt was
one Of the leading right pitch
ers Of the National League in 1917
1t was his wonderful work, added to
that of Schupp, Sallee and Benton, that
gave the pennant to the Giants. Nc
Graw was very short on right-hande ed
pitching last year. But in Jess Barnes
he has secured most worthy sue
cessor to Perritt, fellow who par
ticipated in fifty games last year and
one who would have won two-thirds of
them with such batting support as New
York can give.
AS to Davcy Robertson-he always
does hold out to the last minute. No
one takes his position seriously And if
he should quit or be lost to the army
lusty candidate in Ross Young is wait
ing for the Assignment. Once he has
Fletcher signed McGraw will need to
worry none over his alignment for
1918. 1t will be seen that i'm Thorpe,
the only other hold-out. does not get
a tumble in these calculations.
Whether or not the New York club
has made concessions to bring back the
prodigals is beside the question. New
York fandom is interested only in the
question of whether or not the dis
satisfied one will be in the lineup
opening day. From the manner in
which the recalcitrants have been
changing their views within the last
ten days, 1t is safe bet that every
mothers son OF them will have his feet
under the training table at Marlin,
Tex.
