SHAWNEE-ON-DELAWARE, July 22. Tho first of tho early cards better than 90 was an SS, returned by Schwlnn Worthton, Corkran, Parrlsh and Calvert were alt expected to make a strong bid for the medal. When half the field had made the round the only cards better than 80 were "9's, returned by the Corkran brothers, Warren and Clark. Warren had two sixes on his card, but to ortaet these the former Princeton golfer worked In nf less than four threes. His card read this way: B. Warren Corkran, Baltimore Out 4 6 4 5 5 B 3 3 4-33 In 6 5 3 5 6 4 3 5 44079 The younger member ot this golfing family did his best playing going out, the turn being reached In 33. A six at the long tenth, t another at the 17th and a missed putton the home green accounted for his 41 coming back. His card: Clark Corkran Out 4 4 5 4 5 4 4 3 5-33 In 6 4 4 5 5 4 3 6 4-41-79 Piatt found a number of traps that he didn't believe existed. Where he dropped badly was nt tho short eighth hole, only 105 yards long. Getting bunkered on his tee shot and taking two to get clear of the sand, the Ridgewood man took six for this hole. He was out In 45 and back In 42 for a 77. The same score was returned by Allen, while his partner, Calvert, had 88. Both cot In trouble at the brook from the first tee and took seven. Worthlngton had a string of fine holes, but two or threo bad ones ran UP n's score, which at tho end totaled if,. Parrlsh declared he never saw a course where one had to keep playing so hard at every hole. "No chance to rest," was his observa tion. Parrlsh made an 86. One golfer, who had been dreamng of the dreaded blnnlekill, or water hole, came In happy. "I got over the creek," was his gleeful shout as he approached the restful "19th hole." "What was your socro for the round7" asked a friend. "Oh, plenty, but never mind. I cleared the creek, came the rejoinder. Just when every one had considered that the Corkran brothers were the best, S. Scammell, of Trenton, came In with a 79, thereby getting Into a triple tie for the medal.

Never before In the history of the bi cycle racing game has tho public been so enthused over a race In which will bo brought together four of the greatest fol lowers of motor pace. In speaking of his chances last evening.

REYNOLDS HAD CHANCE TO WORK OUT BRITTON Refuses Morgan's Offer to Train Chicagoan for Dundee Fight Because of Local Bout. As Bobby Reynolds, of this city, Is booked to box at a local club tomorrow night, he was forced to turn down a good offer the early part of the week to assist In the conditioning of Jack Brltton for his match with Jumping Johnny Dundee at the Madison Square Garden, New York, tonight a week. Danny Morgan wired the clever local lightweight to Join Brltton's stable of sparring partners, but as Bobby was anxious to be In the beat of shape for his return appearance here with Buck Fleming at the Ludlow A. C, he decided to remain home and finish training for his own bout. Inasmuch as Reynolds and Dundee de pend on the same style of boxing. Bob would have been of great assistance to Brltton. Then again Bobby gave Dun dee one of the hardest battles seen In this city. With the knowledge of the Italian's methods In the ring, Reynolds could spar against Brltton a la Dundee. In that way Jack would be prepared for the cunning tricks of Johnny. The initial show of the Allegheny A. c. will be held tomorrow nigm. ture Promoter Pop O'Brien weekly show at the club nla-hts. Johnny Nelson and In the fu- wlll stage on Friday Eddie Mc- Andrews meet In the final. Word cpmes from Baltimore that Eddie Morgan has been matched for two bouts In the Monumental City In August.

"Is There Such A Thing As A Curved Ball?" By GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER mr r J 'f,i Pa Ml TRAPSHOOT WITH BOTH EYES OPEN IS ADVICE TO NOVICES BY EXPEBT If a Gunner Ie Possessed of a Pair of tiomal Eyes, Undoubtedly tho Proper Way Is to Keep Optics Focused on fafgpt in Natural Manner. As to whether It ts better to trapihbot with both eyes open or to shut th eye not directly concerned with the sighting teems to be a source of considerable worry to some shooters, especially begin ners. If a shooter Is possesiM of a pair of normal eyes, undoubtedly the proper way to sight a shotgun Is to keep both eyes wide open and focused on the target In a natural and easy manner. The advan tages of sighting In this way aro a clear view of the entire field, Including that part which would be otherwise cut off by tho gun barrels, and freedom from the eye strain which results from any un usual use ot the eyes. It Is advisable for all new shooters to learn to shoot with both eyes open, un lets some actual optical defect makes It Impossible. Older men, who have been shooting for a great many years with one eye sighting, will find some difficulty In changing, as constant practice will have crystallized Into a second nature the habit of closing one eye. A point to be con sidered, however. Is that you have noth ing to lose by test, as It Is easy enough to go back to the old system again, if necessary. One of Newton's laws says that ac tion nnd reaction are always equal and In opposite directions, which explains why firearms from the gentle .22 rifle to the muscle-pounding wild-fowl gun have a tendency to move In the direc tion of the shooter's shoulder. If a rifle, shotgun or revolver were aupr ported directly In line with the axis ot the bore, the barret would recoil straight back and would have no excuse for Jumping upwards. Revolvers Jump worse than other firearms because their load Is heavier In proportion to their weight, and their support Is relatively so much farther below the axis of the bore. Many sportsmen are under the Im pression that this Jump of a revolver barrel causes the bullet to fly wild and leads to the oft repeated statement by the fairly good rifle shot that he can't shoot a pistol because he Isn't able to hold the pistol tight enough to keep It from Jump ing and so spoiling his aim. Now, In the first place, there Isn't a man living who can hold a large calibre revolver so that it will not Jump, and In the second place, the effect of Jump on the flight of the bullet Is small and Is n constant quantity which has been compensated for when the sights are put on In the factory. Therefore, if a man gives this excuse for poor plstpt point UMPIRES HAVING JOUGH WORK UNDER PRESENT EXCITING CONDITIONS By GRANTLAND RICE Verse Revisions (If H. VT.

Strife (a real, strife Is earnest, And the grave s soon our pool; Cussed thou art, to cuss returnest, Stands the token, of our role. In the game's broad field of battle. In the bivouac and strife, What are too out driven cattle, Branded with the vocal knlfet Lives of umpire oft remind us We must sprint to beat the band. Or, departing, leave behind us Pools of gore upon the sand. A close race t's a grand little episode for every part and parcel of baseball, save one. You hear no umpire giving three maudlin cheers because six or ttvtn clubs In one circuit figure they have a keen shot at the flag, plus their share of a world's series split. Where so many clubs are so tightly wedged Into the same spsce, each run ot each game assumes unusual Importance. And so each close decision carries extra value. For not only Is the race close, but most of the games fought are closer than usual, as there has been on abnormal output of one-run decisions. An umpire' life la not one of the toftest upon this planet, even when conditions are favor able.

If so, what Is It and how long should It stand In the barrel? Ahs. Lead offers a very high wtleUh to the chemical action of the various acids and stkallt. It Is extensively used In Various manufactures because of this fact There are, of course, several different chemicals which will affect letd. but Un fortunately all of the cherrtlcaU which will affect lead will affect in a much greater degree the Iron or tteel ot the barrel. The best way to remove lead is to use a bre brittle brush.

McQraw, Robertson, Bres nahan and Stalllngs would like to adopt the same system and forbid Alexander pitching any further games for the Phillies. It's a great little system it you can put It through. For Future Internationals Dear Sir: I notice where an American sports writer has brought up the matter of England's sporting decadence alter this war Is over. He assumes the belief that by losing so many ot her best men she will be at a loss to refill these gaps. On the other side of th matter. England will have put two million Into the field at hard training, where molt of them knew but little of outdoor life In any general sense. This war will develop, rather than retard, her athletic resources, and I hardly think that America will have to wait tor any long period after peace Is declared to find England ready again to take up her share- ot Interno Uonal play. H. H. V., Jr. 1914-1915 The Braves started their upward march In 1315 around the same part of July that the justly renowned UK drive begun.

Even with a rickety start the Braves are no further way today than they were a year ago.
