SWIFT BENEDICTS
 ROUT SINGLE MEN IN RETURN CLASSIC

The ball game played at Hamll- ton Park last evening between the married and single men, employees of Swift & Company, turned into a "big parade" for the Benedicts. The boys who are supposed to be handicapped by membership in the Ball and Chain" order simply gave the boys of single bliss few pointers on how to play the great national game.
 Temporary Championship
 The score at the end of the ex- hibition was II to 4. It tells all there is to be said about the su- periority of the married laddies although it was yumored in pack ing house circles today that Judge Landis, the high mogul of baseball, may be asked to investigate the report that several big leaguers in disguise played with the win ners. In the first meeting be- tween the two teams the score was 8-8. Last evenings play-off decided the championship for the time being. A returned match may be arranged when the single men have recovered from their ex- periences. It was knd of shock to their ambitions. Their cheer ing section was in charge of Miss Gertrude Riordan, but their moral support in the game did not figure in the Nit and run columns.

 Worthen Hits Timely
 ,ManZo and Breckbuhler was the battery for the winners, with Mickey Jorden taking a turn on the mound also. Walsh and Wad- man did the honors of the single men. A triple by Worthen with the bases loaded and a homer by McGear were among the high lights of the game.
 The added attraction of the game, "Ed" O'Hearn as umpire measured up to all expectations; in fact, no appeals from his decis- ions will be taken to the supreme court. The former K. of c. over- seas secretary was in perfect form. It was a perfect ending of per- feet day - for the married men

HARTNETT, CONLEY MISS MANHATTAN
 FIRST WORKOUT

New York, Sept 2.-John F. (Chick) Meehan and Manhattan college began pulling up the hill to- gether yesterday when 35 football candidates reported at Manhattan Field to start fall practice equipped with green jerseys. The players went through their first workout for the benefit of photographers. In the future, Meehan said the pro- gram would consist of one long workout a day held in the after moons.
 Meehan, starting from scratch in picking his varsity for his first year at Manhattan, devoted particular attention to the bunting and pass ing of William Pendergast, a lead ing candidate for quarterback. He gave no indication of his intentions for starting lineup. Only three candidates of those asked to report were among the missing-Tipper Conley and John Hartnet, regular linesmen under Coach John Law in 1881, and Adam Danowsky, who were expected to report last night or this morning.
 Some of the candidates were noticeably overweight, but the gruelling sun served as an able be- ginning in taking the excess poundage off them. Meehan an- nounced that after preliminary conditioning of about one week regular scrimmage sessions would be held with Columbia university at Baker Field.

 STURBRIDCE MEET

Sturbridge, Mass, Sept 2.-With the entry of Karl Warner of Yale coupled with that of Arnold Adams of Worcester, Bates, and Olympic fame, there will be a 44O yards duel at the Sturbridge Fair track meet next Sunday afternoon that should go down in history.

From that ime his races have been succession of triumphs. climaxed by sensational win over Pete Bowen of the New York A. c. and Adams in the sparkling time of 47 3-5 seconds for the 400 meters at he Olympic semi-fnals at the Harvard Stadium in June.

The United States, which has won the international links tourna- ment ever since it was begun 10 years ago, virtually clinched its seventh successive championship yesterday by winning all four of the Scotch foursomes. It needed only three victories in to-day's eight singles matches to send Britain's leading amateurs home onceagain without the coveted trophy.
 Moreland vs Hartley

 U. s. Favored
 Based on the showingsof the va rious players yesterday it appeared unlikely Great Britain would win majority of the singles matches, let alone the seven needed for a victory.
 While the American teams were down around par figures, especially in the morning round when they were building their leads, the Eng fish twosomes were carding scores ranging from a few points over par into the sos.
 Moe and Howell tallied a 69, two under par, during the morning round. When they started to loaf through the afternoon round, Fill dian and McRuvie stepped in and narrowed a seven-hole lead down five notches before the American youngsters recovered their com petitive spirit to close the match at the 31st hole, 5 up.
 Sweetser and Voight played only a single stroke over par dur ing the 30 holes they needed to beat the Hartley brothers, and 6. Seaver and Moreland once had a lead of 9 up over Torrance and John DeForest and won by score of 6 up. Ouimet and Dunlap al- ways held the upper hand in their match against John Stout and John Burke, and duplicated the Sweetser-Voight score of z up.

 Al CrOwder Wins
 General Alvin Crowder, crack right-hander of the senators, came within two put-outs of being the first pitcher to blank the Tanks yesterday when he held them scoreless into the ninth inning. But he weakened, allowing two runs, as Washington won to 2.
