The sixth annual mid-summer handicap
tournnment of the Golf Association of
Philadelphia will be played nt the Phil
mont Country Club on Tuesday, July 20.
This event Is one of the most popular on
tho Golf Association's schedule, and al
ways brings out a large field.
Thin in due to tho fact that every play
er entered has a chance to win, for the
Idea of a handicap tournament Is to allow
the player who travels at a clip Just a
bit above his regular speed to lead the
field. Last year Howard V. Perrln won
the prize for low gross score, and Ave
players, Perrln. F. H. Mahan, C. B. Cal
vert, W. K. Yarrow and P. L. Corson
tied for low net This made a play-oft
necessary, and that resulted In another
tie between Tarrow and Calvert. In the
second pluy-oft Calvert was forced to
concede Yarrow seven strokes, too great
a handicap to be overcome.
This five-cornered tie proves that the
work of the Handicap Committee Is well
done, for all five players had different
handicaps. Perrln was rated at three
strokes, Calvert five, Mahan nine, Tar
row 12, and Corson 15.
As usual, the prizes In the event at
Phllmont on Tuesday will be for low gross
and low net scores.
On Friday of the following week, Julv
30, the fourth Ancient and Honorable
tournament will be played at the Merlon
"Cricket Club, Haverford.v This event la
open only to members of clubs affiliated
with the Golf Asioclatlon of Philadelphia
who have reached the age of 55 years.
The provisions call for 18 holes, handicap
medal play, with prizes for low gross and
net scores.
This will close the spring and summer
golf season, and there will be a rest
from competition until the Bala tourna
ment officially opens the fall season, .late
In August. The dates for tho annual In
vitation tournament of the Bala Golf
Club are August 26, 27 and 28, and a week
before thin ovent the thirteenth annual

TENNIS PLAYERS OF THIS CITY
MISS OPPORTUNITY IN DOUBLES
Philadelphia Lacks Good Team and Yet Field Is Open Players,
by Carelessness, Give Club Officials Much Trouble.
Mrs. D. P. Wood Plays Great Game.
In bplto of the fact that Philadelphia
has u dozen or so flrst-closa lawn tennis
players, tho W. F. Johnson-J. J. Arm
strong combination Is tho only doubles
teams that will figure In the Eastern
sectional doubles tournament at Long
wood. The combination named Is so
good that It Is possible for them to
qualify for the national preliminary.
The three .leading doubles teams of the
country are Maurice McLoughlln and T.
C. Bundy; Clarence J QrlUln nnd John
Strsclmn, nnd O. M. Church and Dean
Slathey. The first team holds the na
tional championship, Grlflln and Strachan
were tho challengers in 1913 and Church
and Mathey challenged 'McLoughlln and
Bundy last year.
If two of this city's many younger
players, say, for Instance, Sidney Thayer,
Jr., and young Kenneth Kennedy, take
up doubles, play with one another con
tinuously, and practice assiduously, hon

Sometimes tennis players, as well a3
thoso who participate In other sports,

without the knowledge of the referee or

Norris Williams Easily Defeat
ed at San Francisco Church
and Mathey Left.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 15,-Out-playlng
the champion at all stages, with
the single exception of a few games in
tho second set, Clarence J. Griffin, the
Pacific coast star, defeated R. Norris
Williams, 2d, of Philadelphia, In the
round before the semifinal of the Panama
Pacific Exposition lawn tennis cham
pionship here yesterday. Griffin won by
two sets to one at 6-3, 6-7, 6-1.
His ability to solve Williams' service
and handle' It with such success that he
scored a number of clean aces on the
first letuin were the chief factors In
Griffin's victory. Williams was a slight
favorite before the start of the match,
but when Griffin took the first set with
surprising ease at 6-3 the odds shifted.
Williams, managed to win the second set.
but it was a last effort, for Griffin, as
fresh as at tha start, quickly ran out
tho third set, losing but one game and
captured the match.
The other semlftnallita In the singles
are Maurice McLoughlln, William John,
ston and John Strachan. McLoughlln de
feated Willis E. Davis, of the University
of Pennsylvania, In the best-played
match of the day at 6.4. 6-1, Strachan put
out Dr. Melville Long at 6-4, 7-5.
As McLaughlin and Bundy defaulted in
the doubles, the favorites In that event
are G. M, Church and Dean Mathey. The
only other team In the field that ap
pears to be able to cope with them Is
the one composed of Murray and Gard
ner. Church and Mathey are the sole
surviving Easterners.
TWO BEST IN THE LEAGUE
nounce tho fact that they have plaved
and see that the result Is posted. This
Is especially truo of opening day, when
the field Is of huge proportions
Occasionally n player taken It for
granted that he Is given a default, nnd
goea ahead nnd plays either 'n sociable
set or a match In the next round. A
little more care will help all hands, nnd
mako the work of tournament committers
a little less trying.
The annual tournament for the Hood
Trophy, emblematic of the club cnam
plonshlp of tho Philadelphia Cricket Club,
starts today at St. Martin's. A represen
tative field has entered.
Mrs. D. P. Wood, who played In the
women's chnmplonshlp of Pennsylvania
and Eastern States at the Merlon Cricket
Club and In th national championship
at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, was llt
tlo known In Philadelphia, hence when
she defeated one of the fairly good play
ers of Philadelphia In the first round of
the State ovent her success was greeted
with surprise. A little Investigation, how
ever, disclosed the fact that she won the
California women's singles championship
for the third year In succession at the
Claremont Country Club, Oakland, Cal ,
last fall.
KELLY-SMITH COMBINE
FAVORED IN REGATTA
Vesper Boat Club's Sterling.
Pair Train Daily for National
Event in August.
Walter Smith and J. B. Kelly, of the
Vesper Boat Club, are putting In much
time at present preparing for the national
races, which are to be rowed next month.
This pair of oarsmen seem to be the
favorites In the doubles event and are
being put through some strenuous work
by Coach William Muller.
That the oarsmen along the Schuylkill
will follow suit nnd earnestly prepare for
the coming fete can be seen from the
great number of shells on the Schuylkill
Itlver dally. The oarsmen along the
Schuylkill shores seek revenge for their
recent humiliation at the People's Re
gatta. There Is some wonderful rowing ma
terial In the clubs along the river in
West Philadelphia and their prowess will
be demonstrated In the next big regatta,
which will be the national, scheduled to
be rowed In August. Crews tint made a
poor showing in the People's Regatta are
now being pointed to to carry off a goodly
portion of the prizes In the title affair.
One coach, who has turned out some of
the best crews in the East, lamenting the
recent defeat of his pupils, predicts a
different showing in the next big race.
He said that the commoti reason for the
failure of many crews In the last water
fete here was the lack of proper training.

MACKMEN, IN STRAITS,
. BATTLE COCKY SOX
Weldon Wyckoff Will Try to
Halt Rowland's Team After
Its Seventh Straight.
CHICAGO, July 15. Two defeats at the
hands of the White Sox, making aeven
ntrnlcrht trlnmnhs of Rowland's team' over
the champions, has aroused the fighting
blood of the Athletics and they are de
termined to break this streak today. Wel
don Wyckoff will have a chance to sil
ence the bats of the Sox, who have ap
parently returned to the form shown In
the East.
For a brief spell' the White Sox went
into n bad batting slump which enabled
the Bed Sox and Tigers to , pick up J.V-
crnl names, but the coming of the Ath
letics caused the Sox to start hitting
again. Whether It Is the weak pitching
of the Mackmen or the slugging ability
of tile Sox is not known, but the team
certainly looks better than It did.
Eddie Clcotte will go to the mound for
Chicaeo today, and if he is ns enective
against the Mackmen as he has been in
the past, the W hue Box have a great
chance to make It three atralght In the
present series, and eight In a row from
the Athletics.
Yesterday's game was hard fought from
start to finish and tho Athletics had sev
eral excellent chances to win, but could
not come across with the necessary base
hit. Joe Bush, who has been pitching
fine ball for the Athletics, was batted
hard, and the early lead made the game
easier for the Sox than It would have
been under ordinary conditions. The
Athletics never gave up, and came from
behind, but the lead was too great to
overcome.

DOAK, CARDS' HOPE
TO TAIUS ONE FROM
FAST-FLYING PHILS
St. Louis Ddpends Today
on Star Twirler to Stop
Mpran's Marching Maul
ers Rixey Slated to Up
hold Local Hopes.
Mantger Miller HUgglns, of the C4f
dinals. will smd 'Willie Desk, hU tar
twirler, to the mound for the third gam
of the series this afternoon In n iffort
to stop the Phillies. When the Cardinals
were here last Doik was not going d
well as he did In 1914, when he was the
sensation of the league, but he Is now In
his best fotm,
When light there are few better pitch
era than the big blonde spit-ball artist,
and the Phils have their work cut but
for them. The sudden development of (
batting streak by Moran's men makes the
outlook much brighter, particularly as the
Cubs will soon be here to battle for first
place.
Eppa nlxey will go to the mound for
the Phillies Instead of Maysr. whose
turn It Is, and Mayer wilt be saved until
Saturday, He has been showing tinmls
takable signs of slowing down In the
Inst tno weeks, and Manager Morsn be
lieves that the extra day of rest will do
him good. IMxey's effectiveness agttast
the Cardinals In the past is another Ma
son for the switch.
If the Phillies can taKe tpday'a im4
the moral effect on the Cardinals will
be great, as the Westerner Were expect
ing an even break or better here aftsr
trouncing Boston four out of five.
FEDERALS INVADE THE EAST

Clubs tp Be Placed in Larger Cities.
Offices Moved.
CHICAGO, July 1B.-The Fedsral UagUS
today Is training Its guns on New York,
preparatory to making that city th cen
tre battleground tp Its war against or
ganized ball.
James A. Gllmore, president of the Fed
eral league, Is planning removal of
headquarters of the Jeaguo from Chicago
to New York by August 1. It Is s&ld a
Federal League club will be placed In
Now York.
The announcement of the change cams
after Gllmore and Harry E. Sinclair,
owner of the Newark club, had a secret
conference here Tuesday. It probably
means that Sinclair and Robert J3. Ward,
of Drooklyn. will continue as financial
agents of the new league. It Is also prac
tically certain that the Newark club will
be transferred to New York.
There Is also a possibility that the
league will Invade Boston, Detroit and
Cleveland for strategic reasons. Mn Oil
more admitted that thtso cities have been
discussed in late conferences.
Notes and Comment
On National Pastime
I Klllefer crossed Bescher in the first
i inning ana wasted the pitch after Bob
had given Hugglns the hit and run sign.
As a result the Cardinals manager was
nailed ten feet going to second.
"Ham" Hyatt always throws to tha
wrong base and at the wrong time. As a
hitter he Is a wonder, but one must go
a long way to find a poorer fielder
Meadows did not look very good ysater
day. He was tipping his curve ball
throughout and would probably have been
driven from the mound earlier In the
game had the Phtls not been overanxious,
Fred Luderus Is becoming quite pro
ficient in the hit and run play. Two
.yeta-s ago Ludy could hit only to one field
and never tnougnt or mis piay. ocoro
another for Pat Moran.
George Whltted had a perfect day at
bat, with two hits and two walks in four
trips to the plate.
Bass runners can't get a foot away from
the bag with Snyder catching. He caught
Bancroft napping at first and Btopped it
rally.
"Hub" Perdue has taken, off a great
deal of weight since his last appearance
here, He Is still a portly gentlemsn. but
looks to be In good shape.
Eddie Burns is being worked often, a
Klllefer has a bad finger and Moran
does not want to take any unnecessary
chances with his star.
Wilson has always been looked upon a
a wonderful fielder, but his work In the
two games here has been ragged.
Bescher pulled the "blind bull" trick
when Miller popped to Nlehoff In the
eighth. Bescher was easily doubled at
first and then blamed Dolsn who was
coaching at first.
In doubling up Wilson and Hyatt In tho
fourth inning with Miller on, third. Bart
Nlehoff pulled a grest plsy. but he was
aided by the stupid work of WlUan, who
could have held up on the line long
enough to permit Miller o score betoro
h was retired.
Bert Nlehoff was entitled to a home run
In the ejahth Inning, according to the
rule which says that any ball out of
iight that strikes in fair territory entitles
the batter to a home run.
Snyder had a, wonderful day both at the
bat and In the field. If Hugglns had han.
died his throw at sacond Instead of But
ler Nlehoff would have been caught nP-
plpg In the, eighth and the rally might
have been checked.
