By THE LINKS MAN.

PROBABLY not since that day away Q back in 1909 when as a wearer of the blue of Yale Bob Gardner of Hinsdale, H., won the national championship, has a college golfer made such flash along the golf hori- zon as did Arthur |. Walker, Jr., the captain of the Columbia University tearf, yesterday, when on the links of the Brooklawn Country club, he won the qualifying medal in the an- nual amateur championship of the Metropolitan Golf association, after showing his heels to a field that in cluded practically the cream of the New York city and district talent Mir. Walker scored two fine rounds, making T6 in the morning and a "A -n the afternoon. and his total of 150 led Gardiner W. White of Mas sau by two strokes.
 White had 73 and 70. William Reekie of Upper Montclair, winner of the spring tournament at Lakewood. Cropped into third place with a pair of smooth ITS, heating off John N. S+earns, Jr., of Nassau, who had sup pIemented an s2 made in the morning with a brilliant 73, which gave him the low score honors for the after moon and an aggregate for the 36 'holes of 155. Two 78's put Max R.
 Marston, of Baltusrol, the season s most consistent medal player, in fifth place, and a timely 75 for the second IS holes placed w. Parker Seeley, of the homo club, sixth, one stroke behind Marston, at 157, his opening round being S2.

or 'endings" as it was often called. The job of the score keeper was no cinch, although he didn't have to keep track of the minute details now con- sidered essential.
 Even more one-sided than the Buff fa1o contest, although fewer runs were scored, was a game between Chicago and Memphis in 1870, the former winning by 157 to 1. In the same year two Cleveland clubs, t.,e Forest Citys and Atlantics, played a five inning game, called on account of darkness which was won by the first named club 132 to l. In one inning the Forest Citys got fifty-three runs, and in an other fifty-two.
 One day in 1865 the Philadelphia Athletics defeated Williamsport in the morning 101 to 8, and in the afternoon tr1umphed over the Danville Alerts 162 to II. Having made 263 runs in nine hours, the Athletics knocked off and called it a day.
 With the coming of professionalism in 1869 games of such tremendous scores became less frequent, but in that year two of the fastest professional clubs in America, the Brooklyn At lantics and the Philadelphia Athlet- ics. ran-up scores of nfty-one and for

 Willard may look all right on the outsioe, but on the inside things may be different" Kearns said. If he is only 35 years old, as he claims he stsi 12 years older than Dempsey, whichs will make considerable difference. El do not believe that with all his sizef and strength he will be able to stand up long under the punishment Demp- sey is bound to hand him from the start. Dempsey hits hard with botlI- hands and every time he lands there is a sting in his punch. sa

NY HILE THE latter-Iay crop of
 w baseball fans have been edu- cated to the point where they prefer pitchers battle to a batting bee, there are still left many old timers who taste in the American pastime runs to the old-fashioned game in which hits are hard and frequent and big scores are rolled up. To this type of fan the classic game of baseball was one staged in Buffalo just half a century ago tomorrow June s, 1869, when the Niagaras defeated the Col umbus by a score of 20s to 10.- This was the largest score on record in a game between two regular clubs.
 In those days a baseball game was usually started right after dinner, be- ginning about one o'clock in the after noon the game sometimes asted until sundoWn. and even then 1t was not always possible te>phy nine innfnss-

TOLEDO, June 5-Walter Mona han, chief sparring partner for Jess Willard, is nursing a lumpy jaw today as a result of the punching he re- ceived in his first workout with the champion yesterday. Willard knock ed him out with a right hand blow to the chin that did not travel moro than six inches.
 Willard plans to increase his road work daily until he reaches the five mile mark. He is sche duled to take a run of four miles this morning and then box four rounds and do his oth- CT stunts at the Maumee Bay camp this afternoon.

Three years ago or so the contest ants in the annual invitation tourna- meEt at Fox Hills were startled to find that a youth from the nSighbor- ing Richmond Hills Country Club, To- cated at Dongan Hills, Staten Island, had won the qualifying medal. It was the same A. l.. Walker, Jr., who showed the way here today, then a mere slip of a lad of some IT or IS summers. At that time students of form predicted for him a rise to still greater heights in the world of golf A little while later he won the East ern Interscholastic Golf Associa ton championship, the Metropolitan junior title, and the Staten Island champiC l;hip. He was also a victor in a Pinehurst tourney. but while he has had lots of experience lately in the college matches in which he has captained Columbia, this is really his first mans size golf tournament here abouts since that memorable one at Fox Hills.

 With the national open champion ship at Brae Burn only a few days off, the natural tendency whenever few golfers get together to discuss the chances of the leading profes- sionaIs and amateurs. Among the latter class, Charles Evans, Jr., na- donaI amateur and open title holder, and Francis Ouimet, former cham pion, are the outstanding favorites, with the Boston golfer the chosen one'' in and around Massachusetts. Ouimet, it is said, is right on his game nowadays, and for that matter, so is Evans. So far as Jerome Ira vers is co.+oecned, there is little hkeh- hood of his competing in champion ships this year.
 The city commissioners at Asbury Park recently adopted an ordinance
 
 acres of the old country farm for a golf course, aviation field and recrea- 'tion park.

 The golf committee in charge at Brae Burn will include Harry L. Aver, chairman; A. D. Locke, presi- | dent of the Massa achusetts Golf As | sociation, and E. s. Litchffeld. The Brae Burn Country Club is situated in | West Newton, Mass, on the main line of the Boston & Albany Railroad, nine miles from Boston, and may be reach ed in 25 minutes by train from South | Station.

It Is a long time indeed since the metropolitan championship medal round enjoyed such a spring clearing. The old saying new brooms sweep clean" was vividly recalled for it was the first metropolitan championship that Walker and Reekie ever had par ticipated in, while the tourna ment appearances of both could be counted in the fingers of one hand.

 The first day of the metropolitan tournament at the Brooklawn club was, perhaps, the biggest day ever witnessed at that place. Golf fans came from all parts of New England and New York to see the met stars in action.
 There are fully a dozen of the leading goling experts in the coun- try towering the local tournament
 Grantland Rice, one of those who qualified to play today, is a popular New York sporting writer and a poet of no limited ability. Grant was only recently honorably discharged from the army.
 Interest in the big tournament that starts at Newton, Mass, tomorrow, will be centered about the actions of Jerome D. Travers, Francis Ouimet and Chick Evans.

 Gardiner White looked like world beater in the morning session when he led the field with a score of 73. Women were very prominent at Brook1awn yesterday. "One of the best courses in the 1 country" was the comment that Ned 1 Sawyer made when asked what he 1 thought of the Brooklawn links.

Walker was lorg from the tee and deadly with the irons.

 The biggest score in the National League in 1876, it's first year, was Chicago 30, Louisville 7.

After his scintillating morning round of 73, White was naturally the favorite for the medal honors. On his home links he has been going around consistently in the low seventies for weeks and his card of one over pap for Brook lawn was accepted as the proof that the reports emanating from Glen Cove were not merely ca nards. The intense heat made it a day to test endurance as well as golfing skill, however, and when in the afternoon White let down a little and reached the turn in AZ 1t was felt that, after all, some of the others under so on the first round might beat him to the tape.

The pond looked so good to Sam Graham, of Greenwich, in the after noon that he hated to pass it. He made the most of his time and left only after he had played in three balls and taken q 10 for the hole. That second round of Grahams S was a weird affair. The total was 96 and, in addi- ton to the 10, there was a g at the third hole and an at the eleventh. He did not qualify. Oh, no. It wa-sn't t that sort of a tournament.
