SOCCER MEN WIN HON0RS Defeat Fore Rivers in Ma tional Challenge Cup
 Final, 2 to 1.

St Louis, Mo-, May. 1O.---The Ben ,Mi1ers of St. Louis, champions of the St. Louis Soccer League, won the na- uoIIal championship of soccer football and the National Challenge Cup of the United States Football Associa- ton, enbfematic of that title, by de- efating the Fore River Football Club of Quincy, Mass, ? goals to l. S7he game was played at the old Federal League Baseball Park before 12,009 fans
 It was triumph not only of the Middle West over the East, but of the American style of the association kicking game over the so-caIled +fold country style, for the Ben MHlers to a man, were born in St. Louis and not one of the Fore River players was born in the United States or learned his football here. Ten of the m members of the Quincy team are of Scotch nativity and the other of Eng fish birth, and theirs was and is the close combination, short-passing game to be seen on British football pitches The "ozd country style of play did not stand up against the more ag- gressive, dash and shoot, long-driv- ing game of the American4boTn play CTS. The MiHers displayed a slight advantage in speed an din stamina that stood them in good stead against the som ewlat better technique of the Northern Massachusetts eleven.

DRIVER
 TO HAVE IT EASY

Antwerp, Belgium, May 1o-Play- CTS in the Olympic golf champion ship events to be held in connection with the Olympic Games, beginning on July 12, will compete on a course that offers few terrors to the steady, straight driver who is an accurate judge of pitch and distance, but which promises untold difficulties to the man with the slightest tendency to hook or slice.
 The Associated Press correspondent recently went over the course, which is that of the Antwerp Golf club, at Cappelinbosch, about Is miles from Antwerp. There are no pronounced elevations, but the IS holes of the course are dotted all about with nat ural, bunny little humm0cks of hard earth-most of them on the fairway- while sandpits and annoying little cup-like depressions vie with artif1- cial bunkers, tiny water ditcheS and particularly nasty stretches of trees or rutty highroads on or bordering all the fairways.
 ''It is course which should be played over several times by any one who intends to compete in a real match" the correspondent was told by one Scotch oficer-a scratch man at St. Andrews found difficulty sometimes in making the round in bogey, which is 7S.
 TheI ength of the course is 5,320 yards-2,SS5 yards for the first nine holes out and 2,935 yards in. with bogey 39 both out and in The longest hole, the fifth, is $40 yards the cEeanest, widest straightway of the lot. though even this offers oc- casionaI pitted or wooded difficulties, and the shortest is the 18th, 150 yards, a, nice little pitch for the ac- curate masf1ie but full of trouble in the shape of ditcheS, bumps and traps that only the scratch men gen. orally make it in the 8 strokes set for bogey.
 Just now, after the spring rains, the entire course is spongy, but, during the hot weather which is GUS tomary at CappeHnbosch in July, it becomes hard and bumpy, giving much bound, an1 roll to the ball.
 The greens, which have been we'll kept despite the war, are composed of a thin messy grass, fast but here and there just a bit bumpy. Most of them are protected by pits or ditcheS before and behind, and are particularly dangerous for overshots
 The course has been well ar ranged, with only one possibility of cross-fire or interference in it's whole length, this being where the tee shot for the fourth hole crosses one of the greens, but the tee is consider ably elevated and most of the drives go we'll over.
 The ground rules are, as yet, a bit incomplete, no provision being made for the wagon ruts in the dirt roads bordering or crossing some of the fairways, but these are expected to be changed before the Olympic matches.

One of the most significant cases of war profiteering we know of is that of Fred Taller, now a prominent member of the Dorchester Club, Bos- ton Mir. Taller it seems, has actually established himself as one of our greatest athletes and owes nearly all his success, like thousands of mer- chants and manufacturers. to the great war Before he. left tn shores, MT.

USE YALE FIELDS
 FOR SUNDAY PLAY

New Haven, Conn, May 10-F'or the first time in the history of Yale University the athletic grounds on Yale Field were opened for recreation on a Sunday The faculty allowed use of the tennis courts, track and even the baseball diamonds for unor- ganized practice but no competition or organized practice was allowed Many undergraduates took advantage of the innovation, although the offer was not as generally accepted by the students as had been expected. The authorities have come to the opinion that the university facilities for pure recreation should not be allowed to stand idle on Sunday. The corpor- alton, which passed the vote allowing the innovation, contains several noted clergymen, among them Rev. Dr. Newman Snyth of this city.

Fred's downfalls so many times, had long since given up hope for him as a runner. But Taller never abandon ed the idea that he was designed for a champion in some branch of ath- letics. It was agreed that Fallers running form was good and he had the conformation which should pro- duce speed. But he seemed to lack the latter as well as unfIagging sta nina. At the outbreak of the war, Taller, after eight years of athletic competition seemed farther away from athletic renown than ever
 Taller was one of the first to go overseas and from the first fall in" whistle, army routing began it's work of physical transformation in the Bostonian's makeup. From a sIen- der gangling youth he became a broad-shouldered powerful yet 1.-the muscled specimen of virile young manhood. The hardships of war sup piled him with the two things he had previously lacked-strength and stamina.
 The first proof of FaIler's regener- alton was in the modified marathon in the Inter-allied games at the Pershing Stadium, France Although Jean Wermeuleu of France won the

event, Taller finishing second, put up a wonderful race, the best perform ance he had ever staged at the time
 Coming back home Taller amazed his friends by winning several big events and exhibiting a, form they had hitherto never dreamed F'alker pos sessed- Fred was well thought of as a contender for the national 10 mile honors in the Brooklyn A A. games last October when he left Boston to try for that honor. But no one be- heved he would outclass the field in cluding Champion Charlie Pores as thoroughly as he did. Taller actua liy forced Pores to quit before half the distance had been run and had lit- tie trouble defeating Terry Habpan. Frank Zuna, Frank Titterton and James Platt.
 Taller is expected to break the English supremacy ir4 the five and ten mile events at Antwerp this year He is even being considered as a Marathon hope and if he elects to lope a few extra miles the Boston war profiteer'' will make it hot for the best long distance men in the ! world.

ENGAGE EVERS TO

John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, yesterday confirmed the story that Johnny Evers had been signed to act as coach of the New York club. However, McGraw denied that the title of assistant manager would go with the position
 ''I have asked Evers, who is a, wise baseball man, to become coach of the club,'' said McGraw. 'fBut I have not asked him to act as my assistant. It is apparent that we need a little ginger, and I think that Bvers is the man for the job.'' McGraw added that the engagement of Evers would have no effect on the position of Christy Matthewson, who is sort of major domo under McGraw

 Ready For Battle
Paul Sampson Soldier Boxer to Meet Larry Williams In
 Place of Turner, Badly Beaten Friday

Featuring the card at the Armory A. c, smoker tonight will be Benny Weafer of NorwaI1, known as the kayo king. and Eddie O'Hara of New York, both n1;ddleweights. Followers of the sport know O'Hara is some battler, but in spite of all this Weafer believes he is going to come out Of the scrap tonight a winner.
 Less than two weeks ago O'Hara put it over Packey Hannon and the manner in which he did this gives some of the fans the idea that Weafer will have to work hard in order to put down the New Yorker The boys were called upon make 150 pounds at 1 o'clock.
 Two preliminary bouts between Billy Prince and Jim Hall, both local boys and Bud Dempsey and the or iginal Dutch Wallace of New Haven will furnish the curtain raisers. Andy Parker will be the third man in the ring and Mike O'Connor will keep time.
 Paul Sampson, conqueror of Chief Turner at Binghamton, N. Y, last Friday night, will meet Larry Will jams Saturday night under the canvas top near Newield park This shift was decided upon after it was learned that Sampson all but knocked out Turner and an effort was made to hide the fact from the public. Dick Howell the well known sporting man, will be the third man in the ring.
 Matchmaker Murray telephoned Sampson and the latter accepted the terms and agreed to come here two days ahead of the fight which is to be staged under the direction of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars.
 Steady Steadnan and Young De- fancy will be the semiwindup and Tommy Shea and Young Mack will be one of the two eight round battles which will come ahead of the ten round battle between the heavies.
