Johnny Hckhardt rushed over to him nnd
asked If ho was through.
"Through, nothing'." teplled Carman. "Get
ma another wheel anct I'll show them
whether I am through or not. I'll give
the people a run for their money.' '
No wheel could be found, so Carman
took the front wheel from columtvit, .
extra bicycle and started again, Just as
Walthour had finished his tenth mile, with
Wiley ctoio on his heels.
With nine miles to overcome, the cham
pion began to sprint, soon was at top speed
and began to pass the other "riders as If they
were standing still. He roda a mile In ono
minute Hat a speed of !0 miles an hour
and several were made In 1:03. He made
up lap after lap, and at tho end of 20 miles
the Hying rider was six miles nnd two laps
behind.
In tho meantime, Walthour stuck behind
St. Yves and maintained a steady pace,
keeping a slight lead on Wiley. Carman
knew that his only chanco to win was to put
up the speed so high that one or more of
tho leaders would lose their pacemakers,
but every nttempt failed.
Couldn't Fool Walthour
Clarence would ride alongside of Wal
thour, try to draw him out with more
speed, shouted at him to do some riding, but
Bobby paid no attention and rode his own
ruce. It was the same with Wiley, but
DIdlor tried to raco him on tho forty-fifth
lap and lost his pacemaker. Then Carman
gained a couple of miles.
George Columbatto, the Italian champion,
was riding well at this time, but he had
some hard luck and pulled up because of a
puncture. He jumped orf his wheel and ran
to tho stand for his extra bicycle, but
found that It only had ono wheel on It.
Carman had taken the other, and he was
going so fast that he couldn't be stopped.
This eliminated the Italian, and now he
will provide a watchman for Ills excess
baggage the next tlmo ho rides.
Wnlthour led by a lap at 40 miles, and
held It until tho end. Wiley tried hard to
make up the lost ground, but every time
ho sprinted St. Yves would bpecd up his
motor and Hobby nlso Increased his pace.
Dldler'a pacemaker had motor trouble In
the forty-fifth mile, but he fixed things up In
time to finish third. Carman came In
fourth, only two laps behind.

GUS ZEIGLER TO
HELP ANDY SMITH
AT CALIFORNIA
Former Perm Gridiron Star
to Tutor Linesmen of Far
Western Eleven
TO LEAVE IN FEW DAYS
Ous Zelgler, forme'' nll-Amerlcan football
guard and coach at llmerfnrd School last
fall, has been ifleeted line coach nf the
University nf California, football team this
fall and will lcae for tho l-'ar West next
Wednesday ZiMglrr will nslst Head Coach
Andy Smith and work with Hddle Malum,
the Itarvntd star, who la to take care of
tho baekflcldt
Xolg.nr was one of the licit linemen who
eer donned a football suit at tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and has made quite
a record as a coach since leaving college.
Jto took charge of Metcersburg In lflf8.
'fl!) nnd '10, nnd turned out wonderful
teams. Tho next year he went to i:xter
Academy nnd built up the cloven which won
so many games for Tad Jones In the last
two years. Ous also was nsslstant coach
nt 1'enn, and In 1014 he did good work at
tho University of West Virginia.
Lait year ho w-nt to Ilavcrford Schoot
and assisted Head Coach Palmer to turn
out the best prep rchool tenm In this sec
tion of tho country, f.elglei' took care of
tho lino, worked out the defense and tried
out many of his new plays.
As a lino coach Zelgler Is without n
peer In the country. He knows footbnll
from the ground up and can teach It. There
wan some talk of getting him nt I'enn to
assist Folwell this year, but nothing came
of It.
Andy Smith Is lucky In obtaining Zelgler's
services tills year, and the California eleven
should do some good work this fall, espe
cially In the line.
September 1 la the dato set for the first
day of practice, and present Indications are
that more than two hundred nnd fifty men
will report, flnss games, designed to de
velop material, will bo a feature of tho
season. Accoullng to tho present plan, tho
varsity bquad will be reduced to CO men
as soon as practicable. The remaining men
then will bo ma do' up into class teams. A
schedule of games will be mado up and
there will bo regulnr competition. Men
who aro selected for tho varsity squad will
not be eligible for the cluss teams.
California will start the season with only
threo of Its last season's veterans missing.
These men are Captain Canfleld, Saunders,
tackle, and Mazeltlnc, end.
With tho advent of Malum, who will have
charge of the bnekfleld, It Is expectcil that
California will start In at onco and practice
its plays from kick formation, which tend
for an open game.

Clothier played by far his best of tho
tournament today and tho 17-year-old Call

wily backcouit game. Clothier dove well on
both beforehand and backhand, nnd his
sideline passing shots accounted for over
half of his points Repeatedly ho drove
Koberts away from the barrier, but seldom
advance- himself.
Washburn had llttlo difficulty In handling
Armstrong's chop drives In tho opening
sot, nnd, In addition, tho latter sent many
of them over tho linos, liut In the second
set Armstrong got going, and after each
won his nervlco to four-all Armstrong brolto
through his opponent and then won his own
serve. In tho final game of this set Arm
strong was called several times for foot
faulting, and In tho final set he was over
cautious, and this helped his downfall.

DEEPEST MYSTERY SUKROUNDS
LOCAL G0LP BALL SHORTAGE
AS PILL FAMINE CONTINUES
Even Theories on Rea

Quakers Enter Na

SANDY iMcNIIILtCK
DKKP. dttik mystery surrounds the short
ngo of the most popular brands of
golf balls
They nre simply not to be had and that's
all thero Is It. Tho condition may bo rem
edied In a couple of weeks' und then ugaln
It may not.
The golf ball supply ls so low at Spald
ing's that only about a scro uf boxes nre
on tho shelves. Ited Honors arc nil, ns aro
Glory Dimples, and Itaby Dimples, three
of tho most popular brands. Tho demand
this yc.tr has been greater than ever, It was
said today, but tho shortage has not been
tclloved for nearly sl w"Us. This despite
tho fact that tho factpty at Chlcopee,
Mass.. was cnlniged at the end of last sea
son No reason could be attributed to the
shortage nor rven any theories.
Meantime golfers hereabouts get along
with balls that they don't caro for. Tho
shortage exists In many makes.
I'ltiyers Worried About National
Golfers intending to enter tho national nt
Merlon In 10 days nre all n-tlurry for fear
they may have to enter tho tourney with a
strango ball, and moro thali ono believer
111 preparedness has taken unto himself nil
tho nvallalilo copies of his faiorltc brand
that ho could find.
Ono player went as far ns Boston for his
supply. Wnnnmakor's reported a shortage
In every mako and nt Olmbcl'n It was nald
that the most popular In anils were nbho
lutely nil while thelo wero odd boxes of
soma of those of which the other stores were
shy.
The reason stated at Olmbol's for tho
shortage was the alleged delay In the ship
ment of crudo rubber and the run muni
tion factories had mado on tho labor avail
able for golf ball factories In Chiuopeo,
Mass. Other theories more gloomy were also
advanced.
Clouds began to gather an thnughts of
golfers coming hero for tho national, who
Intended to buy their tourney supply In thfa
city, croppod up. Tho situation nppeared
very tense.
Hut a talk with Oeorge Kayers, profes
sional nt tho Merlon Oolf Club, knockrd the
bottom out of the matter fiom tho cham
pionship Htnndpnlnt.
"How will you supply the 150 or more
ftais coming hen1, who will Insist on their
favorite brand of balls?" was tho question.
"I've got tons of balls," replied Sayers.
"Simply tons of 'em."
Meantime tho nhops about town predict
a decidedly lean supply for tho rest of tho
year.
Seven More Locals

Morning's Query Quota
Sandy McNIbllck I havo not seen, any
thing In the IJvunino LnDncn so far about
an Hast vs West match before tho ama
teur championship such as was played last
year. A largo crowd followed many or
these matches last year, nnd I think they
wero ns Interesting as many In tho actual
championship slnco a brilliant man from
each section wn3 picked to play tho other.
I hope tho committee will not overlook this
Interesting leaturo this year nt Merlon.
Sincerely. Q. C. B.
Philadelphia. Pa.
Llttlo has been said nbout the East v.
West match this year, but there ls little
doubt but that it will bo played, probably
a week from today.
"Hill" Fownes, former nntional champion
and captain of tho Pennsylvania team In the
Lesley cup matches, suggested tho sectional
play last year, and when "lllll" arrives at
Merlon the wheels of the event will start
to grind.
Sandy McNIbllck I read your column In
dustriously and with great pleasure. I no
ticed somo time ngo that you said the New;
Yorkers wero all picking Oswald Klrkby
to win tliu national championship this year,
and whon I went to Now York recently sev
eral of my gulling friends told me tho same,
thing. They wanted to bet me, but I an)
cautious hy nature and nm writing to ask
what Klrkby did at Detroit last year, at
which time, 1 understand, he was going aa
well as this year. Yours very truly.
J. L. MONAHAN.
Philadelphia, Va.
Oswald Klrkby did not play nt Detroit
last year, iia Is a strong favorite this year
because ho ls playliit; his shots with such
deadly technique.
But anything ls a god bet In tho coming
tourney. ".Matty" to Pitch Against Cubs
