ehamplonshtp to play for, nt any into. Ho
far as I know, thoro hns never been any
family title played for, except husband und

events. Thero aro golf families In this
very city that can fulfill tho conditions of
our challenge, nnd we would bo glad to

Jinny Clan Tennis
The chatlengo sounds fine and It Is up to
some of tho clans hereabouts tn grn.pplo
with tho Moehans. The latter can put a
good team In the field for tho tribal title.

NORMAN MAXWELL IS STAR

Usual week-end games on Saturday and

A good number of local golfers wore

But most of the other clubs report extraor
dinarily largo numbers of golfers using tho

the players stood In line for some time be
fore they were able to start.
One of tho best scores turned In on any
course yesterday wns that of young Norman
JL Maxwell, who shot a 76 at Aronlmlnk.
He was playing "Scotch" with Q. II. Ather
holt, J, Dempsey and Donald Morrison, as
sistant professional of tho club. Maxwell's

points. ,

bcBt of views of tho humorous water hole,
whero more hopen aro drowned and more

hereabouts. It demands n 140-yard carry

haven't got such n shot In their lings. And

REPLY TO MR. McNIBLICK
Maurice n. McLaughlin, tho famous Cali
fornia "Comet." wilt tnko part In his first
tournament In the east late this week at
tho N'cwport Casino, provided ho nnd his
pnrtner, Ward Dawson, get through the
western tourney nt Chicago In time.
"Maurle's" renppearnnoo In the enst nfter
nn absence of a year wilt occnBlon more
Interest than any single event In tennis
hns ever done before. Vogue rumors have
bcon drifting enstward during tho last year,
first that Mclaughlin hns gone bnck nnd,
second, that the flcry-hnlred cx-nntlonnl
chnmplon, the most popular man who ever
set foot on n tennis court In the land,
has regained his Dnvls Cup form.
Consequently, Interest In McLoughlln hns
Increased, Although It Is hard to believe
th.it ntiy modicum could be added to the
nlready tremendous Intel est In the dash
'tig Cnllfornlan. He will vot conipeto In
tho singles event nt Newport, but, with
Ward Daw son, is entered Ir tho doubles.
Newport Tourney
That tlme-hnnored shrino of American

tennis nff.ilrs. The nnnunl Invitation tour
nament. Inaugurated Inst year nfter tho
national classic was awarded to the West
Kldo TonnlB Club, Is going forward today
nnd will continue all week.
As In all tho previous big circuit events
of tho year, the cast nnd west clash will
provide tho real thrill. It brings together
such stalwart sons of tho Occident i.n Wil
liam M. Johnston, holder of tho national
crown; It Mndley Murray. Willis H Da
Vis, national clay court champion ; Clar
ence .1. arillln. joint holder with Johnston
of the national doubles, and Hnlnnd Hob
erts, tho San Francisco youngster,
U. Norrls Williams, 2d, of this city, who
captured tho Justly oelebintcd Achclli Chal
lenge Cup nt Seabrlght on Saturday, by
defeating Ocorge M. Church, former Intcr
colleglato chnmplon and holder of n number
of hectlonnl crowni. In n bitter bnttlo, has
not entered the Newport tourney. In which.
It will be remembered, ho defeated Mc
laughlin last year. Hut tho Knst will not
lack In strong representatives. Church will
bo thero, accompanied by Nut Nlles, Irving
Wright. Watson M. Wnshburn, Karl II.
Behr, Dean Mnthcy nnd two fnmous "Dills"
of our fair city, to wit, William J. Clothier
and William T. Tlldcn, 2d Another Quaker

EXPERT DECLARES
A WESTERN TEAM
WILL WIN FLAG
- . (
Dopester Figures Out Why
National League Hottors
Will Not Be in East
HISTORY WILL REPEAT
Tho Phillies might as well quit right now
In their fight for tha pennant, for the
haven't a chance In the world to land L
This also applies to Brooklyn and the
Craves, for a mathematician who spends
his vacations In n masB of figures has doped
It out that one of tho western clubs In th
Nntionnl Lengie will put on a terrific- spurt
and cop tho flag In a driving finish.
In support of this he points out that
with one cxcoptlon there has never been
a winning -sectional stretch of more than
flvo yearn. The statistic. nn presents tha
following flumes showing the victories of
eastern and western club: 187778, Hast!
1880-82, West: 1883-84, Knst; 1885-87,
West: 1888-1000, Kaat : 1901-03, West:
1004-05, East! 1906-10, West: 1911-18,
Hast. With ono exception, when the West
won four pennants ending In 1S03, those
figures show that the eastern and western
clubs huve won In groups of two, three and
live years.
According to tho figures of this Bam
statistician, thu enstern clubs have won -S
pennants slnoo 1876 and the western clubr
IB. Tho grand nverngca of eastern pennant
winning percentnges Is .687, and that of the.
western clubs Is .706. Tho highest among
the eastern clubs wns mado by .Providence
In 1884 with .760, nnd tho lo(yest was mad
last season when the Phillies won the pen
nat.t with .692. Among the western clubs
Chicago's average of .798 In 1800 Is high
and Detroit's .637 in 1887 Is low.
The mathematical export Is willing to
concedo that If n western club docs com
through with a winning streak It will fall
far below the nverago of winning western
clubs of tho past.
