to outbox his opponent, by n wide margin.
Thero Is llttlo doubt about tho contest going

ability to hit and got away for a victory.
Tho program follows:
First bout. 8 30 Frnnklo Clark. Southward
vs Jimmy McElroy Wilmington

NEW YORK. May ?2. Miss Molla BJur
stedt and'Theodore noosevelt Pell defeated
Mrs. Spencer Pullerton Weaver and
Charles M. Bull, Jr.,' In tho final round of
the metropolitan mixed doubles on the
courts of tho West Side Tennis Club, at
Forest Hills, yesterday. The score was
10-12, 6-4, 0-4.
Tho match was closely contested
throughout, and because of this the result
remained In doubt up to the final point.
The failure of Mra. Weaver and her part
ner to maintain the pace thoy set at tho
start of the match accounted for their de
feat. Until tho time they began to fall off
In their playing, due to their exertion In
the long first set, Mrs. Weaver and Bull
had outplayed their opponents.
Tho first set waB replete with tennis of
a brilliant sort and wa9 featured by an un
usual number of spectacular rallies. In
which all of the players participated. Mrs.

ELMER MYERS TO
TWIRL AGAINST
FRITZ COUMBE
Both Pitchers Have Won
Five Straight Games In
dians Are Ready
MACK SAVING JOB BUSH
Tho pitchers who will twirl In this after
noon's contest at Shlbe Park Elmer Myers
and Frlti Coumbo have each woji five
straight eames. Hence It appears that one
of tho youn- men Is duo for a bumping
boforo nightfall unless they both pitch
perfectly and aro given perfect support.
Lee Pohl and hla club nro now In Phila
delphia ready for tho opening of tho series,
Tho rnto at which tho Cleveland club has
been going assures tho local publlo of a
four-gamo Berles of rattling good baseball.
With Trls Speaker In tho llno-up tho
Indians havo been going nt a dizzy clip and
thoro seems to be no reason why they
should not mako a fight until tho finish nB
the team seems to bo well-balanced and
working hnrmonlously something rnro for
a Cloveland club.
Mack expects to pitch Myers In two
games of tho Cloveland series, but ho will
Btort Joo Bush only once, nnd ho haB
double-hcnders with both Washington nnd
Now York Immediately following tho Cleve
land contests. Mack 1ellecs now Hint
Wykoff Is going to como round and Intends
to start him either tomorrow or Wednesday.
"Tho fans throughout tho country, bar
ring Clo eland, nro waiting for, and ox
poctlng, tho Indlnns to crack, but I bcllovo
they nro doomed to disappointment," said
Manager Fohl of tho Indians UiIh morning.
"I havo not predicted a pennant winning,
nor would I bo so foolish to do so, until my
team hns shown mo that It can stay out In
front for threo or four months, but I havo
a hotter ball team than most pcoplo bollove.
"Don't bank on tho Indians cracking be
causo I feel suro wo aro going to bo In
tho light to tho finish. I don't say anything
about winning the pennnnt becauso I think
tho raco Is going to bo so closo that tho
winner will ho tho team which gets tho
breaks, and ono can never count upon get
ting them. Wo havo had fairly good breaks
bo far, but' nlao havo lost thrco or four
games which would been won If tho brenks
had been divided evenly."

MIXED foursomes aro tho thing now.
MlgoWnglady much prefors tho latest
crazo to tho dansnnt, or dinner-dance, or
bridge
Whether It was tho remarkable success
of tho Frldolyn Cup matches or tho hundred
fold Increase In popularity of tho gama of
golf among fcmlnlno golfora that has
caused tho furore, It Is hard to say, but It
la a fact that extraordinary quantities of
mixed foursomes aro being listed, both by
Individuals and clubs.
Thoro Is no mlstako about Us being a fine
way to entertain one's golfing friends. His
maqcullnla lordship would closo up shop
most nny day for a golf-round party.
Speaking of mlxod foursomes, thero la
likely to bo ono nt Whlteniarsh tho latter
part of thla week In conjunction with the
women's Individual championships being
waged there, beginning today.
An illness which she has BUftcrod for 11
weeks has kept Mrs. Frederick W. Morris.
Jr., out of golf this BenBon, and she will not
bo ablo to play In tho championships this
week nt Whltcmarsh. Sho wns told today
by her physician that It might bo August
before sho could again get on tho links
Mrs. Morris hnd n lino season last year at
Huntingdon Valley.
New Record
Tho record for tho couroo of tho Coun
try Club, ot Lnnsdowno, which has stood
spotlcsi and unsullied for n matter of two
years, has llnauy ieen toppled over oy
John Kdmondson, tho pro there, with a card
of 70.
Ho was catching them In great shape
going out nnd had a fine 34. On tho homo
holes ho Bhot a 30, two strokes worse, but
lilt total cJIpped two shots from the former
record of 72.
Tho holder of tho old record was Davo
Clarke, a former pro at Lansdowne, who
hung up his figures In A D. 1014.
Mr and Mrs. George CJ. Green, Jr, will
glso a one-dny Invitation tournament nt
tho ranontcd courBo ot tho Woodbury
Country Club on Juno 10. Thero will bo
18 holes of handicap medal play, with
prizes for tho best grosi nnd not scores.
Woodbury in A-l Shape
Golfer Green almost abandoned tho gamo
last year In his duties ns chairman of tho
Greens Committee. Ho went nt tho task
with tho samo earnestness that ho golfed,
with tho result that tho Jersey club now
has something of which It cm bo ery
pioud in tho way of links Home of tho
holes hao been changed nround so that
tho layout Is much more Bclentlllc. A num
ber of now hazards havo been Bet out
and somo very lino traps blown.
Most of tho greens nro new or resecded.
These are tho special passion of Greensman
Green. Ho mndo a nartlcular study ot tho
sandy soil of his course, and his gross cul
tures wero as tedious as thoso of nny lab
oratory scientist. Ho haB carried tho mat
ter to a lino point, using different grasses
on different greens, and tho results aro In
deed a comfort to putters who find enough
blttorncss In getting tho lino of tho holo
without having the ball bumped out of tho
way by treacherous grasses.
Better Than Golf Champion
"Danny" Hutchinson was tho centre of
tho group, of course. He was looking
around nt all tho trophies at ono of tho
local country clubs nnd Beemcd glum at tho
prospect o the round of golf ho was about
to havo with two moro export players.
"If I had to bo champion of anything,"
he Bald, "I'd llko to ba champion of rac
quets nnd court tennis."
"Not I," said another In tho group
"I'd glvo everything I havo to bo cham
pion golf player of tho United States.
That's my Idea of fame, than which
.thero Is none greater."
Another member of tho group looked still
more ambitious. Tho othera turned to him.
"What would you llko to bo?" they asked
In chorus.
Tho other cleared his throat nnd an ex
alted look camo Into his cyo.
"Champion poker player of America'
he said.
Ideal Golf Disposition
A present-day writer mentioned not long
ago that homo of our golfers wero not con
sistent Winners becauso thoy did not have
the right golfing temperament, Gil Nlcholls
was held up as n "horrible" example. This
seoms to bo a fact, for Gil, tho sunniest
nnd quaintest ot humorists when all Is
going well, has an ungovernable temper
when the breaks aro not with him.
At Merlon on tho 11th hole one day ho
failed to sink a sadly needed putt after a
succession of bad putts In hlB anger he
broke tho stlak over his knee and threw It
wildly In the woods.
James Barnes, on the other hand, has
tho Ideal golf disposition, according to the
writer.

The stroke Is largely, n movement ot the

There. Is an old, maxim, "The feller that

nerer have to putt."
Bhlp last year at tho Country Club Barnes
was drifting badly behind and needed
every stroke.
Ho tried for an out from n trap, meaning
to throw hli ball up dead. Tho ball hardly
got out
Unruffled by his disappointment, the ex
pert bnrcd hlB teeth nnd passionately flung
tho offending club over the heads of the
gallery. He then calmly sot about holing
out his long putt. Tho ball went badly off

Dear Mr. McNlbllck:
What did James Barnes do then?
(Signed) 1NTBRESTED.
Answer Ho npread his legs, creased his
brow, set his teeth, threw the ball In the
nlr, and tried his best to whack It out of
his sight with hla club when tho ball camo
down.
