condition to an acid condition of the soil.
In any event, tho trouble Is over, and long
before the fall sets In the greens will be as
perfect as they were before, and when the
Aronlmlnk greens aro at their best there
are no better. The members regret that the
conditions are as they are, but the players
in the tournament understand the situation
and, like good sportsmen, are taking things
as they find them.
Oeorge HofCner, who won tho gross score,
could easily havo been around 75. Ho got
oft to a poor start and registered a six, yet
he finished tho first nine with a very cred
itable score of 37. And In spite of thiee
sixes and an eight, he had a total of 81. In
playing tho difficult fourteenth, which in
many ways is the best test of golf on the
course, he pulled Into tho woods. The tee
shot Is up hill, and a good drle will land
on a plateau at tho bottom of a hill. But
between the plateau and the green there Is
a big dip, so that It Is necessary to pitch a
long Iron or spoon shot to the green, which
lo one of the largest greens In tho Philadel
phia district and which Is a gradual climb
from tho bottom of the green until tho top Is
reached.
A pull or slice means a lot of trouble.
Hoffner found his ball In such a position
that he had a hard shot to the green, and
even If ho got It away without hitting somo
of tho trees thero was a doubt lf it would
reach the green. He tried It and hit a
tree, and by the time ho was on the green
ho had played six shots. On the other
hand, lf he had played out to the fairway
It would havo given him a comparatively
easy Bhot to the green. Under any cir
cumstances It meant two shoto to reach the
green. His Judgment cost him three
strokes.
Our Home-Breds Play Well
Our Philadelphia professionals had a
royal time of Jt at Slwanoy In tho second
day's play In the Ited Cross tournament.
Tho home-breds easily took the measure of
the Kngllsh team, while tho Kngllsh profes
sionals were too much for the amateurs.
In the foursomes Hoffner nnd Dowllng were
five points up on their opponents, and In
the two-ball matches the youthful pro from
Phllmont defeated his opponent, Herbert
Strong, by two points. Eddie Loos and
Kmmett French ran up a record of nine
points In their foursome engagement, and
in tho two-ball matches Loos was seven
points up on A. J. Sanderson and French
was one point up on James West.
Big Jim Barnes paired with James West
beat M. J. Brady and Jack Burke by one
point. In tho two-ball matches Brady
turned the tables and won from the Whlto
marsh Valley crack by fivo points. Nor
man Maxwell of Aronlmlnk, playing with
J. S. Worthlngton, was beaten on tho home
green by James Maiden and George Fother
Ingham. In the two-ball matches Maxwell
and Jack Hobens were all-square after a
hard match.

Play starts today In ths PennBylvunl
and Eastern clay-court championship
tournament for Juniors and Seniors at the
uynwjd country Club. The Juniors will try WiM
for tho Edward Bok Trophy, the cup which !yiiSS
win go to tho three-time winner, not necea-,
sadly In succession. Last year Herman "
Dornhelm, of tho Frankford High School,
wai victor.
Dornhelm Is entered again this year, and
ho wilt play his first matoh on Monday, as
ho Is now at Hcacli Haven, where tho oen
trnl New Jersey tournament is in progress.
Dornhelm Is not the only Junior title aspi
rant at the shore. George Throckmoton, of
New York; Itodney Beck, of the Qerman
town Cricket Club, and Newton Beck, all
Cynwyd entrants, are now at Beach Haven.
In view of tho fact that the central New
Jersey tournament came this week, the
Cynwyd Country Club tennis committee de
cided to allow all the players who remain
away to play their matches on Monday,
Norman Swayne. of tho Seniors, nnd Wil
liam T. Tllden aro playing at Beach Haven,
probably In the final round this afternoon.
Doctor Hawk a Local Fnrorito
Three of the best clay court players In
this section will meet In the Pennsylvania
tltlo event. Dr. Philip B. Hawk, of the
Cynwyd Club; William T. Tllden, of der
mantown, nnd Norman Swayne, of Cynwyd,
form a trio of dangerous aspirants for titu
lar honors. Doctor Hawk is always a
favorite to win on tho Cynwyd courts, but he
will havo his work cut out to beat either
Tllden or Swayne.
Doctor Hawk has decided not to nlav at
Buck Hills or Bench Haven this summer,
dui win enter tne soum jersey champion
ships starting August 18. He will probably
play In tho Atlantic City open event, start
ing nt tho Atlantic City Yacht Club courts
on August 7. If some of the Cynwyd
players decided to get together In singles
and doubles for these two shore tourna
ments they will find the yacht club tennis
committees very hospitable.
At the Atlantic City Yacht Club the en
tries closo with Forrest E. Adams, chair
man of the tepnls committee, on August 5.
Tho Atlantic City Yacht Club has five ex
cellent courts. The .tournament held at
President Allen K. White's club Is as
suming moro Importance every year. It Is
tho only big tennis tournament played at
Atlantic City, and tho yacht club courts are
tho best nt the resort.
Throckmorton a Junior Star
Every one fortunate enough to seo George
Throckmorton play on the Overbrook Golf
Club courts has tho same opinion regarding
his tennis. They see a second Harold
Throckmorton In tho work of this youth,
tho kind of tennis that has placed his
brother In a class among the leaders.
Ceorge Throckmorton came hero to win a
looul district event nnd he succeeded.
His win ocr Gerald Emerson was the
result of much brilliant tennis. The tennis'
gallery Is never largo whtn the Juniors'
play their forenoon matches. It was not,
large yesterday. But Throckmorton war.
playing tho brand of tennis that brought
tho highest praise from the critics present,
"He will be heard from later," they agreed.

spy
HpHREE years ago today Austria declared
war on Serbia. Thus began the horrible
conflict which threatens to swallow all civiliza
tion in its wide-open jaws. ,
In tomorrow's Public Ledger appears a
timely article, written by Charles W. Duke,
recounting the cost of the three years of war in
men and money. The figures are astounding,
yet every one knows them to be true.
It is an article that makes one realize, as
never before, the big part Uncle Sam must play
in making the world safe for democracy:
