BALTIMO IRE, July 27.-The
younger generation still Is giving a
good account of itself in the national
public links championship, but for
today at least the emphasis was on
the veterans who have survived until
the third round.
That was because the feature
match of this mornings round of is
sent 54-year-old George Bradley of
Philadelphia against 31-year -old
Louis Cyr Of Vancouver, Wash. If
there is any one in this field who is
a sentimental favorite with the GAL
leries that have been tripping out
daily over the sun-scorched fair
ways of the Mount Pleasant Park
course, it is Bradley.
Certainly there could be no neater
climax for the Philadelphian's long
links career than to win the cham
pionship on his ninth try and at
easily twice the age of thirds of
his rivals.
Bradley twice has won the Penn
sylvania public links championship
and has taken the Philadelphia city
title four times. Currently, he holds
both. In addition, he has played in
nine national tournaments and each
time has qualified for match play.
Each time, too, by an odd coinci-
dence, the players with whom he
was paired for the qualifying rounds
also have made the grade.
Bradley is big man, with broad
shoulders and a waistline that has
expanded but little since his younger
years. A lively talker and q man
who refuses to take the game too
seriously, he is one of the fastest
playing men in the tourney. He
simply steps up to his ball, smacks
it and then goes on to the next shot
without any of the before-a after
| flourishes that characterize many
lesser players.
In Cyr, who went to the finals
against Al Leach at Cleveland a year
ago, he is meeting another veteran,
for the West Coast contender is play
ing in his fifth championship. Two
others with an edge in experience
are Andy Szwedko, burly Pittsburgh
steelworker, who went to the semi
finals in 1887 and twice has quail
fled for the National Open, and Jim
Molinari, the San Francisco police
man, who was public links medalist
three years ago.
Bradley and Szwedko may fight it
out this afternoon for a place in to-
morrow's 36-hole semi finals, for
they are in adjoining brackets, with
Szwedko paired with 16-year-old
Carl Dezern of Durham, N. c., for
the third round.
Below them in the lower-half pair
ings stand Arthur Armstrong of
Honolulu, last of the four co-medal-
lists left in the field; blocky Steve
Doctor Of Buffalo, NJ Y; Wes Berner
of Portland, Greg, and Mike Cestone,

Night Baseball Was Rugged Postime in 1908
Toted Own Light Poles Had Fight Way of Towns

Maybe that was because the
Indians modified the rules some
what for their nocturnal tilts,
shortening the base paths and
using a ball larger than regula-
ton.
Pigue later became a Southern
Association umpire and now is
on the administrative staff of the
Tennessee w. p. A., but he still
likes to talk about that stormy
summer, and as he looks back he
says, with feeling:
What bunch of lucky stiffs

salaries, finest transportation, the
best meals, the best hotels, people
to wait on them like nursemaids."
