Philadelphia Is well repaid for not secur ing either ot tho national golf champion ships by getting both sets of Intercity matches. The Grlscom Cup contest will bring to Philadelphia the best of the women golfers of New Vork nnd Hoston and the Lesley Cup matches will do the same thing with the men. The difference between the two Intercity matches lies In this fact. Philadelphia Is always a serious contender In the Grlscom Cup, but not quite so ottrn in the Lesley Cup, The latter, by the way, should rightly be called an Interstate contest, as the teams are selected from the three States of New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylva nia. The habit of calling It nn Intercity match arose from tha fact that all the golfers on the two teams, as a rule, come from Boston nnd New York. Penn sylvanla's team is generally equally di vided between Philadelphia and Pitta burgh. ATLANTIC C1TT, Feb. 1.

Wo tried to toll him that one summer night In St. Louts, hut with out effect. Wo probably picked the wrong; moment for dispensing: Infor mation. Tho Giants had just lost three straight to tho Cardinals and not even bnsebnll looked very good to John J. nt that morose date. Offside rlays Success Is planted by sinking short putts not hitting long drives. The battle always to the sttong if the rest of It Is 50-50. And the race that isn't to the swift is generally a frame-up or a fake. Such Is tho break of tho game. Just ns flan Krnnclnco Is firmly re-established and ready to forge on nlltiad to greater glory, tho White Hox send Plnir Hodlo back to stay. With I'lng gono, PIpp has no pa tronymic rival left In tho biff league, unless Bcor Is drafted from Saskatoon or Too is purchased from Portsmouth. P. IC J, Stalltngs Braves average ovon younger than tho Mackmcn aver aged In 1010, when thoy first reached tho crest. This Is especially tnio of tho pitching staff, where thoy depended on Bcndor, Coombs nnd Planlc, Ml older than James, Tyler and Rudolph. At which point It Is Just as well to remember that tho Mackmen as ar rayed today nro younger on nn Aver ngo than tho Cubs wcro when Frank Chance first put them over tho pennant Jump. Schang nnd nil tho pitchers are under 25; Mclnnls, Barry .and Baker aro under 30, and neither Strunlf nor Eddto Murphy Is ovor 27. The only two vets beyond 80 aro Lajolo and Ruba Oldrlng. If Mack gets good, steady pitching It's no sure bet that his peo plo will bo beaten oven by the Rod Hox. Both Fed and O. B. magnates, plus all players Involved, deny tho chargo that they nro tho ones hurting tho game. That makes tho solution fool ishly simple tho trouble is all being started by the fans, just as Belgium launched tho Eurppean war by at tempting to destroy Berlin, and Vienna.
