SHORT HILLS, X. J., Sept. 25.
Pennsylvania and metropolitan golfers
to the number of 10 on a side clashed
today on the links of the Baltusrol Golf
Club In the first of tho trlstatc matches
for tho llobort W. Lesley Cup. Five
foursomes teams fought It out first and
later on ten singles. Tho district winning
the most matches will meet the Massa
chusetts combination, holding tho Lesley
Cup, In tho decisive test tomorrow.
Pennsylvania presented Its teams for
the foursomes as follows:
William C. Fownes, Jr., Oakmont, and
George A. Ormlston, Allegheny; Eben M.
Byers, Allegheny, and Cameron 1?. Dux
ton, Huntingdon Valley; Itpglnald 3.
Worthlngton, Shawneo, and J. B. Crook
ston, Philadelphia: Howard W. Perrln,
Merlon, and W. P. Smith, Huntingdon
Valley; .1. Brondt Hose, Philadelphia,
nnd Louis M. Washburn, Philadelphia.
Opposing these in the order named
were tho following Metropolitan players:
Oswald Klrkby, Englewood, and Fred
Hcrreshoff, Garden City; Jcromn D.
Travers, Upper Montclalr, and Gllman
P. Tiffany, Powelton: Cornelius J. Sul
livan, Baltusrol, and Roy D. Webb,
Englewood; Max R. MarKton, Baltusrol,
and Gardiner W. White, Flushing; Archlo
M. Rcld, St Andrews, and Flndlay S.
Douglas, Nassau.
Every one looked for a keen match
between Dyers and Buxton, for Penn
sylvania, and Travers and Tiffany, rep
resenting New York. That Travers had
decided to nbamton his driver for the
time being at least, was evidenced at
once, for he drove with his driving iron
from the first tee. The hole went to the
Pennsylvania pair, G to 6. The last named
couple would have had a four, but for
taking three putts.
Tiffany nlmost missed his drive for the
second tec, the ball not going more than
CO yards. On the other hand, Byers hit
a fl.no ball and when Buxtom laid the
next on the green, the Pittsburgh-Philadelphia
combination won In 4 to 6. there
by throwing 2 up.
Both Travers and Buxton drove the
third green, Travers' effort getting him
much nearer the flag. On this approach '
putt Byers failed to get up, and, when
Buxton missed his try for a three, tho hole '
went to the Metropolitan pair, 3 to I.
At the fourth hole Travers brought off
a 10-foot putt for a four, good enough to '
win there and square the match. The
Metropolitan pair became one up when
Buxton schlaffed his drive and his part- i
ner failed to carry the bunker on the
second shot.
The Pennsylvania couple won the sixth
when the opposition took three putts.
They halved the long seventh in five and
the eighth up the hill in similar figures.
Both sides failed to make the green on
the approaches.
Had. Travers beerv able to bring off a
putt for a club's length on the ninth green i
his side would have won thrre, but as it '
was, they halved in four, which loft the '
rivals all square at the turn, the strokes I
reading K to 43 In favor of Pennsylvania. I
iney halvwl the tenth, or Island hole in
four, but Travers had a bad teo shot going
to No. 12. That mistake enabled the Penn
sylvania couple to win the hol In four
to live and tie.-onis one up again. The
twelfth was halved n four. From the
thirteenth tec Travers shoved a drive to
the trap and as the opposite got a 3. Penn
sylvania became 2 up. To the fourteenth
Tiffany pulled his drive to a trap nnd
Travers failed to get clear of the sand on
his effort. Byers topped his drive, hut
even so his side won tho hole in S to 6.
Now 3 up it looked like u certainty for
the Pennsylvania pair ard .-"itch proved
to bo the case, for after losing the flf.
teenth they halved tho next two holes,
thereby winning the match 2 up and 1 to
J'lay.

NOBLE, Fa., SopL 2S.-Bolh semifinal
matches for the Berthellyn Cup nt the
Huntingdon Valley Country Club, al
though won by fairly comfortable mar
Fox, Huntingdon Valley, won from Mrs.
E. H. Fitter, Merlon Cricket Club, con
tinued her good work by defeating Mrs.
C. II. Vanderbock, Philadelphia Cricket
Club, 3 up and 2 to play, nnd Mrs. C. H,
Fox, Huntington Valley, won from Mrs.
Milton Hcrold, Phllmont, 4 up and 3 to
play.
Tho first three holes In the Mrs. Fltler
Mrs. Vanderbeck match were halved, but
Mrs. Vanderbeck should have, won the
thltd, a missed putt resulting In a half
In seven. She broke the tie by winning
wio iourtn, but overran the cup on her
third on the sixth green, nnd then missed
coming back. Mrs. Fltler was down In
par 4 and tho match was squared.
Mrs. Fltler was handed the seventh
hole, one could almost say, on a gold
platter. Both were on the green In four,
and well up with their approach putts.
It lookod like a sure half In six, but Mrs.
Vanderbeck misted a ten-Inch putt and
Mrs. Filler was one up.
Mrs. Vonderbeck secured par 5 to 9 for
Mrs. Fltler on the eighth, and again the
match was even. The ninth was halved
In 6, and both were out In 47.
Mrs. Fltler became one up by running
down a twenty-foot putt for a 3 on the
tenth and lost the eleventh after driving
out of bounds. She was one up again
after playing the twelfth, as Mrs. Van
derbeck drove Into the creek. The thir
teenth and fourteenth were halved, but
Mrs. Fltler should have won the four
teenth, as she was on the green In two
and took four putts.
Mrs. Vanderbeck missed a short putt
for a half on the fifteenth and Mrs. Flt
ler became two up. The match ended
on the sixteenth green, where Mrs. Fltler
was down In 6 to 7 for Mrs. Vanderbeck.

Journey Placed at Guard.
Pennsylvania's football team ran
through a spirited practlco late this after
noon In preparation for tho Initial game
of the season with Gettysburg Collego
tomorrow afternoon. Head Coach Brooke
refused to permit a scrimmage for fear
of Injuring his players and also because
they have been worked so hard all week.
There was the usual preliminary drill
In punting, cntchtng and returning kicks,
and then Brooke ran an cloven through
tno ploys which are to be used tomorrow.
Neither Brooke nor his assistants would
state definitely what the line-up for to
morrow would be. That will be decided
at a conference of tho coaches this even

Pennsylvania Opens Up Its
Season With Gettysburg
Here and Fur is Sure to
Fly With Teams in Shape, j
By EDWARD K. BUSHNELIi
Every day marks some development
for the better In the making of Penn
sylvania's backfleld. First Head Coach
Brooke brought about a decided Im
provement In the kicking. The return
of Avery gave the Quakers a backfleld
man who could get distance and height
to his punts. In addition to Avery two
other promising backfleld men have
shown decided Improvement In the kick
ing line. They are Irwin nnd Ballou,
rival candidates for the quarterback
position. Irwin hns been used at quar
ter with more regularity than Ballou.
and likewise has been used to do more
kicking, but the latter has already made
his reputation as a kicker, and when
the time comes It Isn't likely that he
will be outklcked by any one, with tho
possible exception of Avery.
Yesterday Brooke concentrated his
preliminary coaching on teaching all the
backfleld candidates to catch kicks and
run them back through a broken field.
In this work Merrill and Hughes have
been showing the best form. Brooke
used this kind of practice to teach his
men the art of straight-arming oncom
ing tacklers and shifting the ball from
arm to arm s they run, In order to '

Merlon.

ease, with which .Miss freiwell won came
somewhat as a surprise, since Mrs. Smith
had tccn efetcd to make her play at her
best. Selther of th' St, Martin's stars

r.esday's scrimmage, but yesterday
Hughes did quite as well, making sev
eral sensational runs. In both of which
he outsprinted a field of tacklers and
added to his effectiveness by his clever
dodging and straight-arming. A good
open field runner must" master this art.
and It augurs well for the future of
the Quaker backfleld that so many of
the men are doing It so well In prac
tice. There will be no scrimmage today be
cause the coaches wish to give the men
a complete rest for the Gettysburg
game tomorrow. The tremendous heat
of the past week has resulted In a loss
of weltcht with every man on the squad.
To some of the men this was fortu
nate, but others have suffered. Still n
scrimmage practice was absolutely nec
essary to secure the hardening required
for a game,
Princeton mn are showing a great deal
of elation over the fine work of Roland,
the former Lafayotte player now at
Princeton. Roland was the life of the
Tiger ecrubs last year and he promises
to develop Into one of the stars of the
varsity backfleld this fall. He Is so
fast and strong that It takes a mighty
good man to handle him.. On top, of this
ability he heaves the forward pass with
unusual accuracy and skill. In every
respect he promises to glvn Princeton
the combination man that tho Tigers
lacked in their backfleld last year.
All the big teams of the East will get
Into action tomorrow. Pennsylvania's
Initial contest will be with Gettysburg,
Harvard will meet Hates, Yale will tackle
Maine and 'Dartmouth will play the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College, while
Cornell will grapple with Pittsburgh.
There are old scores to settle In two of
these games. Yale men have not for
gotten tne u-o tie to wnicn they were
held by Maine last fall, while the mem
ory of Pittsburgh's 10-7 victory over
Cornell Is still fresh In Ithaca. Both
Maine and Pittsburgh have been shoved
up several games on their respective
schedules. Tale ought to win with some
thing to spare, and on form Cornell should
also be the victor over Pittsburgh. Rut
the Ithacans have always been such un
certain quantities In their Initial games
In recent yenrs, and Pittsburgh Is known
to be so strong, that to hazard a pre
diction on the result of this contest would
be the height of folly.

the Poronos. and were full of spirit In spite
of the warmth of the weather.
AMHERST. Moss.. Sept. 2.1. With a
sijuad of .IS men. Including eight of last year's
regulars. In dally practice and a team already
rounding Into early season form, Amherst
Is looking forward with confidence to the
Amherst-llnwdnln game here Saturday. The
new coach, niley. who directed the fnlverslty
of Maine team, which last year held Yale to
a scoreless tie, has already gained the con
fidence of the student body, and It Is believed
that bis first season here will he a successful
one.
C. H. S. HANDICAPPED
Material Comingr From Centre of City
Not Up to Mark.
Dr. Alexander Howell, the Central High
School coach, has a difficult task to over
come In developing new men capable of
filling the places of the players lost by
graduation. Although the candidates are
very willing, most of them have a lot to
learn before they are of high enough
calibre to make the team. Before the
system of district schools went Into ef
fect, a largo part of tho players who
composed the teams came from the out
skirts and suburbs of tho city.
When all of them were compelled to
go to the district schools, C. H. S. lost
most of Its best material for the different
teams. Their places must be filled by
boys from the central part of the city
who have never had the same advantages,
and so It Is that much harder for the
coaches to turn out championship teams.

Allentown's fair Is proving to be the
greatest event In the history of that com
munity. The harness races have been
real treats, and therefore from the sports
man's viewpoint all that could bo de
sired. Splendidly trained animals scored
down to the line, and fast time was made
In all of the races.
A good crowd Is likely to be attracted

II. E. Nickerson received over 500 ap
plications for world's scries tickets. Mr.
Nickerson Is secretary of the Braves.
The tickets In Boston will be sold singly.
In pairs or In lots of three. Those mak
ing applications will have the best chance
to make their purchases by getting the
lots of three, us the flub management
states that such applications will huve the
preference.
A system Is said to have been devised
by the Boston National League manage-
mnt which will practically leave the
ticket scalper high and dry this year.
Just what the ilau Is has not been made
public, but the Idea is certainly correct.
Last season. Harry Davis had over a
thousand applications from friends fur
world's nerles tickets. O.f that number
walked. Byrne tiled to Schulte. Zim

Instead of playing in tho usual position
In right field. Wilbur Good Is thinking
of taking his sttnd In Broad street when

A week of continued rnln in Boston and

If Sherwood Magee keeps hammering
the ball a.s he has been recently he is

In Freddie Hart, trainer, the Chicago
Cubs have a perfectly paradoxical per
son. Things dismal, gloomy nnd funereal
delight the soul of this remarkable man.
He Is never happy unless ho Is saddened
by somo mournful mission. Last even
ing he wns In his glory because ho was
culled to witness nn operation. The pre
ceding evening was also gaily spent by
Freddie In Philadelphia's most palatial
undertaking establishment, situated only
a short distance east of the Cubs' hotel
on Chestnut street When Freddie re
turned he was armed with photographs o
satln-llncd coffins, "couches beautiful''
nnd mausoleums. On his trips to New
Vork, Doe Hart returns to his hotel
beaming with Joy, for he visits Grant's
tomb, the Morgue nnd friendly disposed
hospitals. All things taken Into con
