When more than 100 golfers assemble
In a qualifying round of an invitation
tournament scores In the 70s are almost
a foregone conclusion. but the meeting
at the Shawnee Country Club to-day
marked an exception After the last
card had been posted the best the score
board could produce were SOS to the
credit OF L. w. Haley OF Essex county
and Ray Lambert of Trenton. And let
II be said that with the clubs new score
board in operation there was no chance
or missing anything.
Because conditions only called for
medal play to-day. the eighteen hole
qualification test was strung out until
late In the afternoon. Lambert, start
Ing in tho morning, had nothing worse
than the usual hazards such as bunkers
rough and binnie kill to contend with.
but later on Haley had TO combat the
added handicap of playing through a
storm.
The Essex county man met with a
discouraging z at the third hole. but
after taking AZ to the turn got going so
well coming back that all he needed
to clinch the medal was ordinary put
ting on the home green. AS 1t turned
out, he missed short one which left
him in a tie with Lambert The lat
ter's best golf was also made on the
homeward half. Their cards:

Apropos of putting at least one con-
testant, J. Hopkins OF the Suburban
Club had no regrets when II came to
reviewing his short game. From the
start the Eliz5b beth nan rolled them
In from all parts OF the green so that
when he counted up tho strokes later
on he discovered he had taken only
twenty-three puts. vet he scored an SS.
Closely following the leaders was E.
G. Carlisle of Overlook, out in AZ and
back in 80 for an 81. Several made the
round In SO, DR.. j. w. Robb of Phila-
delphia, who played with Hopkins and

got an S3, considerably better
than his son Chester who had an off
day and had to be content with a berth
in a minor division.
With all the cards returned 1t was
found that thoses with scores of 81 had
tied for last place in the first sixteen.
A good many who started to-day will
have chance to continue, as the clubs
officials have provided for five sixteens.
The course never appeared In better
turf and the amateurs appeared to
agree with the professionals who were
here last week that the new holes on
the end OF the island added to the diff
culties of the layout.

petition. In fact the competition has
started. The application of James M
O'Connor for permit to hold boxing
bouts at the Polo Grounds Is one of the
first moves. With this permit secured,
Jack Curley. who staged the Johnson
Willard fight at Havana. will blossom
out as the matchmaker and bid against
Rickard for the Dempssy-Wills bout and
any other bouts worth bidding for.
inevitably the new Yankee stadium
will be leased for the purpose of holding
boxing bouts during next summer. This
VIII mean that there will be two boxing
promoters who will have plants that will
hold almost as many as can be crowded
into the huge wooden saucer at Boyle's
Thirty Acres. The New York law per-
mits promoters to charge as high as
''s25 a seat for championship bouts.
while the top price in New JERSEY is
SIS Also the New York law permits
fifteen rounds to a judges decision.
This looks as though the wooden
structure at Boyle's Thirty Acres would
soon be sold for old lumber. The ad-
vantage will be all on the New York
side and the promoters who control the
boxing rights to the Polo Grounds and
the Yankee Stadium certainly will rule
the roost-
Ball Parks Compete.
This situation is brought about by the
competition that has developed between
the owners of the Giants and the owners
OF the Yankees. Formerly the Polo
Grounds plant was used for 154 base
ball games in season. Next year the
Yankee park will be completed and the
Polo Grounds will be idle half of the
summer. So will the new Yankee base
ball park. The Giants will miss the rem
tai paid by the Yankees and will be
looking for other ventures to supply this
revenue. The Yanks will want to 60 in
for anything that will reduce the over
head
This will mean that during the sum-
mer there probably will be frequent
boxing bouts and wrestling bouts at
both baseball parks, while the teams are
on the road OF course the big plum
will be the Dempsey-Wills bout On the
New York scale of prices 1t is highly
probable that this bout would draw close
to $1,500,000. The return bout between
Leonard and Tender, IL II were staged
for fifteen rounds to a decision. might
draw something close to S750.000.
There are scores OF minor bouts that
could be staged during the summer at
popular prices and the returns from
these certainly would mount up. While
the boxing game is more uncertain and
transitory than the solid old game of
baseball It Is quite probable that one
or both OF these parks might derive as
much income from boxing bouts as they
are now earning from baseball.

BILLY'S TASK rs EASIER

BY SAMUEL ). BRooKMAN.

SEABRIGHT, n. j., Aug. 3.-It will be
williams in the Seabright final to-
morrow. just as it was year ago.
1t will be West versus East and a
match worth going far to see IL the
winners form in the semi-finals to-
day is any criterion. In advancing to
the cup round Johnston eliminated his
fellow Californian, Robert Kinsey, in
straight sets. 6-1, 81, while Will
Jams scored over Francis 7. Hunter.
Gerald Pattersons conqueror, at 6-2,
81.
Williams had the more difficult task
but his tennis was no less impressive
than that of Johnston. For one set,
Williams, gauging lines to a nlcety and
stroking with matchless finality, was
more or less invincible. His low. short
cross court shots were forcing Hunter
wide of the court and he was DETECTING
the returns to the opposite side with
ease. His service was not as battling
as usual but his placing was remarkable
for Its boldness and accuracy.
1t was different in the second set, for
Hunter began forcing swifter pace.
burning the ball across on almost every
turn. Williams found 1t much more diff
ficult to direct his drives. for he had to
bring his racquet into play with less
loss OF time. So with Hunter covering
court with great determination and zeal
and playing at top speed all the way,
the games went to 81, before Will
liams could clinch the set Hunter kept
pounding the ball across furiously but
encountered no such weakness as Pat
terson's back hand of the previous day,
and Williams, by his advantage in gen.
eralship. ended the match in his favor.
Hunter held on tenaciously in the
second set Williams was twice within
point of the match in the tenth game
and twice again in the twelfth but
Hunter not only turned him back on
both occasions but took the lead at
7-6. Williams speeded up at that
stage. came to the net and volleyed de-
cisively for three games In row and

He says:

FIRST AMATEUR THEATRICAL.

The first amateur theatrical in
the United States is found by
JAMES HEATING, researcher AMI
genealogist, to have been in Ac-
comac county, Va. At least so
state the records in the Congress
sional Library, in an old book en-
titled "Old Williamsburg"
The notes are taken from the
Accomac county records for 1865.
In that year several persons were
reported to the court for acting
a play called I'VE Bare and Ye
Cubb." That the court might judge
the propriety Of their conduct the
actors were required to appear in
their costumes and re-enact the
show. The court found nothing OBJ
jectionable, dismissed the actors
and made the busy informant pay
the costs.
Sir william Berkeley, who ruled
jamestown, was himself a play
wright and a frequenter of London
theaters.
In l716 williamsburg took on
something of the appearance Of a
town and there was a small
theater, with frequent exhibitions.
CHARLES and MARY stage
were actors and dancers.
THE BEAUTY OF TREATIES.
We spent a lot Of money on the
Panama canal,
But we only dare to use it when
England says we shall,
Because q certain promise made to
Pauncefote by Hay
Will only let us use our ditch"
when England says we may.
II our statesmen now confer ing
with those of foreign lands
Would think how former treaties
have tied our nations hands,
They'd make no binding promises
to England or Japan,
Who want our men and money to
carry out their plan.
