.."VV1""!J. l.hB women's championship of
the Philadelphia Cricket Club peaterdAy,
Is about tho best thing that cold havo
happened to Miss Mildred Caverly. no
cordlnf Jo her clubmates. In her first
match Miss Cavtrly put out the medal
winner, and followed this by ousting Miss
Ellen Hood, a very steady match player
and thought to have had a good chance
for the laurel crown. And when Bhe won
from Miss Davis yesterday In tho finals,
Miss Caverly showed how well she had
recovered her gblftng stride by going out
In 43 and coming home in 42, with the
bye holes approximated tccordlng to her
previous day.
Her card:

i 4 7 3 4 3 4285
Up to the present tournament Mies Cav
erly hns had a pretty tough time of it
all season. She had not been able to get
her stride at all and by the time the Der
thellyn Cup tourney came around she was
almost ready to give up in despair. Her
Ahowlng tn that tourney discouraged her
still more. One day lately, however, tho
sun came through the clouds for her and
her startling scores nnd even play in the
tournnment -this week show her as better
even than before her slump.
Just as constant tears will wear away
a stony eye, eo a constant drumming of
golf balls on a tree will kill it. Every
greens committee In the city has had to
face this problom. Whenever there I a
large and spreading tree in range ot
drives and healthy brnsstes. It Is sure to
pine away and Anally die In the course
of a year or two. Whether It Is the vibra
tion of the ball bouncing off its solar
plexus that causes the pining away of
tho trees or whether It Is the effect of
heart failure every tlmo a golfer comes
up to bat ahd th fright at being a large
mark for tho ball. Is hard to tell, but at
any rate trees do not thrive on thoughts
of slices and pulls.
"I do not Intend to offer any alibis,"
said Miss Anita Phlpps today when asked
about her match with Mrs. Q. S. Munson,
which tho latter won on the last hole,
when she holed out a 100-yard mashle
shot. "I do not think It was bad luck.
Mrs. Munson was smply the better
player, for every expert golfer should
have a miracle corked up In her bag for
use when the day is dark. I shall go out
every morning now while tho dcwl s wet
on the grass nnd practice miracles."
Mrs. Munson. when questioned as to
whether she meant to basket the long
shot in one, and whether she could do it
again for the edification of thoso that
didn't know how, replied: "I am unalter
ably and unequivocally opposed to tho
war. Beyond that I am not annoyed by
anything."
Miss Gertrude Van Pelt has a theory all
her own In this matter of short putts.
She feels that studying out the shot is
the surest way to fall. She simply walks
up to her ball and putts. Nino out of tea
shots she lays dead to the hole, too, from
any corner of the green. She also has
many other theories which she has tried
with varying success.
Miss Davis tried to bank her drive to
the 13th off a chicken Into the hole. The
chicken held up its elbow and waited, but
the ball missed. Miss Davis had a chance
fur a two, but her ball dodged the hole I

HAVERFORD SCHOOL OUTCLASSES
NORTHEAST HIGH IN HARD GAME'
Main Liners Show They Have One of Strongest Teama
in This Section by Winning 13 to 0 Jim Moore
Punts '70 Yards, Which Is New Record.
By ROBERT
HAVKRFORD SCHOOL and Northeast
High staged a battle at Hnverford
yesterday, nnd tho result showed that
the Main Llnq school hns one of the
best elevens In the Kast this year. Tho
final score was 14 to 0, and, according
to experts, tho high school boys never
hnd a chance. Havcrford put up one of
tho best games seen on a prep school
field In yours, and held tho advantage
from the start
Northeast had s clean record up to
yesterday, and, although Coach Johnson's
pup Is went down to defeat, they put up
a plucky game. Weakened by tho loss
of two of their star men, they played
hard and never gave up hope until the
referee a whistle ended tho contest. Cap
tnln "Dud" Thomas put up n Bensntlonal
liattlo on tho offense nnd defense, and
weeutcheon did some excellent open-field
running. Tho other players did the best
they could, but the homo team was too
much for them.
Havcrford got the ball on tho kick-off
nnd advanced It about 30 yards. Then
began n march down the field which
ended In a touchdown. Only two plays
were used, a straight lino plunge between
tacklo and guard, nnd once tho man
with tho ball was sent on tackle. North
east knew whero the plays were going,
but were powerless to stop them. The
Haverford linemen, who, by the way, are
coached by Gus Zlcgler, opened up holes
large enough for nn nutomobllo truck to
pass through, and the runner did not stop
until he met his secondary line of de
fense. On the defense Hnverford waB excep
tionally strong. This wns proved In tho
second half, when Northeast had the ball
on tho 30-yard line after Howell fumbled
a punt. Three plays were directed at
tho line, but little gain resulted. On the
fourth down a forward pass was tried,
but Haverford Interfered nnd a 10-yard
penalty nnd first down were given to
Northeast. Three more plays at the line
netted a couple of ynrds. and on tho
fourth down, a Haverford man was off
sldo and tho team penalized five more
yards. This gave Northeast tho ball on
Hnvcrford's eight-yard line, first down
nnd the goal line within reaching dis
tance. After four desperntc tries the
high school boys were able to advance
tho ball to the one-foot mark, where it
was downed, and tho ball went over.
Here Is where one of the sensational
features of the game occurred. Tho ball
was directly In front of the goal posts,
a difficult place for the centre to make
a pnss. He backed up ugalnst the goal
post, however, phot the ball back to
Jim Moore and this schoolboy, standing
10 yards bohlnd the line, punted 70 yards.
The ball sailed over the head of tho re
ceiver and traveled 10 more yards be
fore It was recovered. There Is not a
college man in tho United States today
who can duplicate this feat, and ns It was
made under the most trying conditions,
Mr. Moore has our permission to have
several medals hung on his manly chest.
The second touchdown came after "Joe"
Moore, a namesako of the renowned klck
pr, but no relntlon, carried the ball to
Northeast's 30-ynrd line on the klckoff.
Again Haverford resorted to line plung
ing, nnd the ball finally was carried over.
Penn Charter was lucky to beat St.
Luke's at Wayne yesterday. After plaj
ing a 0-to-0 game in the first half, Mer
ritt's players uncorked some forward
Mai telle broke through and blocked the
kick In the scramble for the ball Fry
recovered the ball for Pitt on the In
dians' 10-yard line. A delayed pass,
Hastings to Dehart, failed to Titln. On
a short torward pass, Hasttng's to Wil
liamson, Just over the scrimmage line,
Pitt, gained 3 yards, placing the ball on
the Indlnns' one-yard line. Fry went
through Martelle for n touchdown.
Score, Pitt, 27, Indians, 0.
Fry made a pretty goal from touch
down, kicking from a dlfllcult angle.
Score, Pittsburgh, 2S; Indians, 0.
Hastings kicked off over the goal line.
jSftar an argument as to whether this
play was a safety, the Pittsburgh claim
was not allowed and the ball was put In
play on the Indians 20-yard line. Wofford
went through Sels for 5 yards, but
Thornhlll was thrown for n 4-yard loss
Just as the whistle blew ending the first
half.
Score: Pittsburgh, 2S: Indians, 0.

Tho teams were evenly matched, but

by Penn Chatter. ,SL,,Luke'a showed up

There have been several complaint
about tho otnclals at high schbol games
this fall, and nn effort Is being made to
havo Central Board men In all of the
contests. Officials recruited from the
sldo lines sometimes mako good, but gen
erally they mebs things up nnd the gam
results In a row.
The game between Catholic High and
Lower Merlon Is an example of this.
Judging from unbiased reports, Cathollo
High was not to blame for the trouble
that occurred In the game. It appears!
that It was necessary to Bhow the officials
tho rule book to prove that It Is unlaw
ful to run Into the fullback and knock
him down after he has punted. Several
other questions arose, and It is said that
the men running the game gave their own
decisions, regardless of what Walter
Camp and other football experts had to
say.
In another game a referee picked up
from tho spectators Insisted that time be
called when the ball Is not In play. Aa
a result, the first period lasted 40 mlnutea
nnd the second 30, and only ten-mlnuto
quarters wore supposed to be played. If
the teams will Insist on getting recognised
officials nil of this squabbling will bs
done away with
