M. ruiinr-up to Miss Alea Stirling In
the championship nf 1916. broke the worn

dub course on Monday ,ln the qualifying
round for the club title. The former mark
of 12 was hetd by Miss Caverly and MrH.
Clarence H Vnnderbeck, of the cricket
club, and the national woman's champion
In 1915.'
Here are the new Arums as made by

Ilss Caverly equaled par on two of the
outgoing hole's and six coming home Her
second round In particular vs u very nne
bit of golf, and had It not been for five
hort missed putts she would hnve had tho
very low caid of 70 Mrokos. On the second
hole Miss Onvcrly missed n foot putt for a
par four On the fourth she rimmed the
cup for a four and on the ninth she missed
the hole for n four by a sl'ght marsln. She
til but made a bird two on the short fif
teenth and she Just missed a slx-footcr on
the eighteenth
Throughout the qualifying round Mist
Caurly played a brand of coif rurely Been
among the women players. She was so far
ahead of the other women that It looked
tike a different tournament. There Is no
doubt that M ss Caverly drank In a lot of
pointers watching the big match at Whlte
m&rsh Sunday and the golf of the four ex
perts Inspired her to tine efforts at tho
Cricket Club
Looking at things In a cry unbiased
manner two women in Philadelphia seem
to he the coming players from this city.

Remarks Concerning
rpHI? sort of course over which a cham
pionship Is to be played Is of the great
est possible Impoitnnce to tho competing
player. This particularly holds true- of
America, where we have no championship
rota and where tbcie Is n wldo variation
In the character of
the courses chosen
each year.
If the rash
prophets who ire
o quick at fore
telling would con
sider the character
of tho course to bo
played, and the de
mands that It
would make upon
the Individual play
ers, their prophe
cies would be more
honored Very few
players am good at
all the snots and
certain courses,
therefore, nro titled
to Hhow up their
CHARLE3 EVANS weaknesses and ex
cellences; a course
without long carrle sor well guarded greens
fives the good player but little advantage
over the poor one That certain placers
went far at Merlon and others of consid
erable reputation played badly at every es
say was owing to the character of the
course. Tha Merlon course suited Robert
Gardner's game, It suited mine, and Hobby
Jones had tho shots for It, too. During the
whole week each found but one match dan
gerous until we reached the ilnals. Uobert'a
critical time was with Bobby Jones In the
third round and mine was with Nelson
Whitney In tho first. Some have expressed
surprise that I beat Anderson so badly at
Merlon, but the fact Is tho course was not
at all suited, to his game for ope thing he
lacked the long second shot and neither

Through the first nine holes neither player
was more than one up and In spite of the
fnct that Miss Stirling was three up nt tho
twelfth, the Phlladelphlan did not weaken
Here Miss Caverly made a fine stand
and when they stirtcd to play tho sev
enteenth the Philadelphia girl was only
one down. On tho second hole, which Is 108
yards long, MIsm Caverly drove the green
On the sixth she shot the ball from tho side
of the bunker within a foot of the hole for i
a win
Two down on the twelfth, Mips Caverly
topped her drlva and eventually lost tho
bole. Miss Stirling was lucky on tho next
for her ball hit a etone In the rough and
landed her in the fairway, and ulie got a
hnlf when Mlw Caverly missed a foot putt
for u win. On tho fifteenth she had n rite
footer for a win, but missed, hut on the
next hole she ran down a twenty-five-foot
putt for a bird when Miss Stitlia,T lay dead
for a three.
On the eighteenth Miss Caverly outdrove)
the southern girl ' Miss Stirling tried to
carry a brook and fell short. Miss Cav
erly's second struck lit the brook and stayed
on the far side of tho bank. Miss Stir

Miss Caverly had to play her shot with one
foot In the brook She made a beautiful
shot, but the ball landed twenty feet short
of tho cup. She mode a brave effort to
hole out, and missed and Miss Stirling rang
her down and win the champion. The cards:

Mcrion Hunkers Ideal
1 think a few words about the bunkers
at Merlon would be Intel estlng. I can truly
say that In shape. In width and In depth
they are lea': Indeed, they are a realized
ideal tf what bunkers nhould be. They
hae the proper slant to their sides and
ine sanu in men- nouoms is me nesi son
of sand for bunker play Probably almost
ccty one knows that! the best way to play
a bunker shot la to hit the sand from any
where from one-quarter to one and a half
.Inches behind the ball and to follow It
through as far as possible It is surprising
how tho ball will come out. and I know no
sand anywhere that rewards a well-played
stroke as that In tho Merlon bunkers. It
may seem a trifling point but it Is really
very Impoitnnt on a well-bunkered "course.
In many bunkers the sand is heavy and
mixed with grael and other things, making
accurate shots Impossible
Fifth Hole Cosily
The fifth hole at Merlon is' nhout 515
yards, and If one get n good tea shot he
is 111 ely to try to carry the ditch running
In front of tho green to get borne. I tried
to do this very tiling the first day I played
the hole I managed to carry the ditch all
right, but ran' over Into the bunker on the
other side of the green. The hole cost me
six shots. Of course I never tried to carry
that ditch again, but I saw many others
afterward make the attempt. Correctly
can led out. it would have made a very
spectacular shot, but It wasn't worth tho
trouble and the risk.
My attempt that failed taught me ono
thing: always to play within myself Kven
If this long shot had been hit perfectly It
might have been pulled to the right or left
and landed Into a world of trouble on cither
side. The mental playing of a shot after
the next one is a great thing In champion
ship golf
In my next aitlcle I shall write on con

This Is all that was done In the meeting,
but It was enouRh for ono ulttlnB. The war

Ban Johnson has been ready to leae for

drills In the American League and paid out
the prlxes from his own pocket Ho says he
is through as an actle director of his

stated that he would be In tho trenches
within six weeks nnd probably would ac

the United States army.
The ono good thing nbout Johnson Is that
he never bluffs. Ho is on the square with
this deslro to jrln tho colors, and, unlike
many of our well-known athletes, will go
through with It to the end.
As for tho other changes, we had better
wait for a time before passing Judgment.
There hac been so many changes made

NBW TOrttf, Oct. 17. President Edward

this afternoon that he knew nothing of the
rumored plan to placo him at the head of
the American League In place of Han V.

going to 1-Yance.
"I have not heard one solitary thing about
It," said Barrow. "The subject has not
been mentioned to me, and even If It had
been, a formal announcement would have
to come from Mr. Johnson. I am still
president of the International League and
am very busy conducting Its affairs.
"In bo far bb Mr. Johnson leaving baae
ball Is concerned. I, for one, do not believe
that baseball could spare him. Of course, I
would be gratified with such an offer at any

ROBERTSON WOULD BE TOP BATSMAN
IF HE COULD ONLY HIT DAILY AT
RATE HE MAKES IN WORLD SERIES
Kauff Goes Hitless for Thirteen Times at Bat, but
Produces No Alibi Eddie Collins Still
Star Second Sacker
Hy GKANTLAND RICE
or
NK of tho most Interesting aspects of
the late world series has been the
transformation of nave Roberteon, the
husky young Virginian light-Holding for
tho Giants.
Two years ago Dave, then tagged with
tho ancient Second Ty Cobb label, htartcd
out to make, that label stick.
By July of 1016 he was batting .360 and
hitting tho ball with terrific force.
A few weeks later his descent began. He
dropped to .300. And this year. In place
of resuming, he slumped still further, until
ho finished tho ear below .2C0.
And Then
As a rcfult ot this long slump from his
old heights no great attention wits paid
to Robertson when this scries swung under
way. But before any ono knew It Dave
was out beyond such stars as Joe Jack
son, Kddle Collins, Hap Felsch, Benny
Knuff and Ocorgo Bumf. By the fifth game
he hud ten hits packed away, with an
average only ,i shade below tho four-game
world series markof Hank fiowdy In 1014.
Robertson not only started out hitting, but
hitting with the cibe nnd confidence of a
Crbb ut his best.
From an average workman he had
ciimbcd to tho appearance of .greatness,
and It was no one or two game flash.
Being a ballplayer of fine speed nnd tre
mendous physical power, ho has only to
carry this confidence along to be one of the
great stars of the game.
If Dave would only go Into an ordinary,
overyday pennant-playing ball game as he
went Into this world series his placo would
be up around the crest
Like Kauff
One ot the most popular Giant athletes In
a strictly personal way with the White Sox
has been- Benny Kauff.
"I'll take ray hat off to Kauff," remarked
Kddlo Collins. "In the first three or four
games he went to hat thirteen times without
a hit. Yet lie had no alibi to offer and no
excuse to make. He knew how much was
expected of him, nnd It was easy to see his
bitter disappointment In those early games.
But through it all he only blamed himself.
The balls are there to hit,' he told me, 'and
I have no excuse to make.' "
Still the Best
The fielding and batting of Kddle Collins
from the start proved beyond nny debate
that he Is still the star second baseman
of the game, and for .all-around value prob
ably the greatest second baseman that ever
lived He can hit, field, run bases and
come through with any needed play. Old
timers refer to Fred Pfeffer. Pfeffer was a
great second baseman, but ho could never
hit within a block of Collins, according to
baseball veterans who have seen both play.
Collins (ailed to. bat ,300 this last season.
But when the series started, even against
left-handed pitching, he lost no great time

LAunnti RAcn tiuck, Oct. 17.
Interest In the match race between Omar
Khayyam and Hourless, to be run at the
Laurel track tomorrow, reached a higher
pitch than ever today following a sensa
tional workout by Hourless yesterday.
The Belmont horse, carry nearly 120
pounds, covered a mile and n furlong In
1 62 1-5 and fmlahed under a strong pull.
Ideal weather and a fast track are promised
for the match race.
Kometlmo between 4 and 4 '15 p m. to
morrow tho two greatest thrre-yenr-nlds of
the year will go to tho post In the J10.000
American Champion Hwepstakes, one of the
most Important races to be held in this
country In the last two decades. They are
to meet nt the picturesque course of the
Maryland State Pair and the race, which
will ho over tho Derby route, a mllo
nnd a quarter, will bo witnessed by the
largest crowd that ever gathered at n race
course In this .State. It is expected that
fully 20.000 will view the struggle, which
the horsemen predict will bo n thriller
ficm the time the barrier Is lifted until they
pass the Judges' stand. This city, Wash
ington, New York nnd Philadelphia and
other eastern cities will send mote people
to Laurel than hnve ever seen n horse race
in Maryland, while there will be In the
throng Westerners and Canadians.
Canada Is Interested
Canada Is Interested In the outcome of
tile contest chiefly becnuse of the fnct that
tho owner of Omar Khayyam, the recog
nlicd champion three-year-old Is the prop
erty of ono of Montreal's leading tesldents,
nnd ho li an Hngllsh-bred colt, being by
Mnrca-I.lsma, former famous British thor
oughbreds, and the winner of Important
classics on the British Isles.
From Philadelphia will come hundreds of
lovers of tho thoroughbred, among whom
will be quite a few well-known In social life
In the Quaker City. On account of tho In
terest tho meeting ot Omar Khayyam and
Hourless has aroused In the City of Brother
ly Love, Mnnager M. .1. Winn has arranged

Haverford School and
Brilliant Booting Acts, Former Team Win
ning, 14-3 Collyn Humphries a Star
By PAUL
Tlin Humphries brothers. Owen and
Collyn. aided by splendid team work
and a great fighting "spirit: led the lUver
ford School football team to Its second suc
cessive victory of the season, defeating
KpNcopal Academy yesterday afternoon at
Haverford 14 to 3. The local team ta
saved from a whitewash by a sensational
field goal by Captain Johnny 'P, fr.on2
Haverford', 43-yard line In c '
minutes of play. Coach McCarty s bunch
Played Uor all that was In them ut '"'"
was not enough, as the MMn U"0 "
gallon outweighed them almost ten pounds
t0ThoTnic was marked by an un""",
large number of punts. These ""
kicks brought to light two of the bt
schoolboy punters In ths section. Oven
Humphries and Johnny Karp. Tho light
breeze which blew across the playing field
had no bearing whatever on the distances
of the oval. . ,. -,
Haverford has always been well repre
sented In tho punting line, and It can ne
safely laid that this year Is no exception
Two years ago the sensational bots which
received their departure from the toes or
Jimmy Moore attracted the nttentlon or the
leading footbnll experts throughout the
Hast. If both boys continue to punt ns they
did yesterday they surely wilt brlntf fame to

Had An Off Day
After yesterday's game Resident Coach
Talmer said that Humphries was In n slump
nnd that he had had nn oft day in regard
to his punting. What chance will Haver
ford's futuro opponents have If on nn ore
day Humphries' boots only travel approxi
mately fifty yards?
But as great as Humphrles's work In the
kicking line was, It was overshadowed by
the sensational punting and drop-kicking
of Harp. Last year Harp was an all-lnter-ncademlc
selection Four times throughout
yesterday's struggle Johnny's boots saved
his men from total disaster hy driving the
pigskin from the shadows of his goal far
Into -his opponent's territory. In the first
period, falling to gain, Johnny dropped
back to his 30-yard line, nnd after the oval
finished twisting through the atmosphere
and stopped taking funny hops along tho
ground It was finally captured by Fullback
Humphries on his own 10-yard line. In
tho third period Karp was on his SB-yard
line and he drove another of his twisters out
of brands on the Main Line team's 4-yard
line. Sc much for his punting.
In the fourth period, with the possibili
ties of not getting closer to Haverford's
goal line. Captain Karp dropped back to
Haverford's 43-ynrd line In a kick forma
tion. The spectators thought It would be a
fake kick, turning Into n forward pass, for
If he punted It would travel over the goat
line and therefore Haverford would have
the ball on their 20-yard line.
The rooters of both elevens gasped ns
Johnny let the pigskin rtrop nnd touch the
earth. The next moment the ball was In
full flight. It twisted and twirled through
the 43 yards and just passed over tho
crossbar It was so close that many
thought that it had fallen short of its mark.
Humphrics's Kicking
Owen Humphries used a different style
of aerial attack. Instead of sending
twisting boots down the field, tha ball
would gradually rise In the air and float
for n while and then slowly begin Its
descent This gave his ends an opportunity
to get down tho field. Haverford's wing
men, C. Humphries nnd R. Young, were
waiting for tha Kplscopal backfleld men to
catch the oval nine out of every ten kicks.
No attempt was made to count the num
ber of kicks Hemphries made, but only
on three occasions was the runner capable
to advance more than four yards. Owen
Humphries has been attending the Main
Lino school for nine years. At Haverford
the school authorities allow tho boys past
ton years to organlzo teams and coaches
teach them the Haverford system. Hum
phries has been n member of evory team
from the sixth grado to the first, excluding
tho second. Ho Is eighteen years old. Last
year was his first year on the flrBt team,
playing fullback.
During the dally workouts he would kick
with the rest of tho fellows, but never took
any great Interest in this art until Morry
Grossman, the sensational kicker ot last
year's Haverford College team, took him In
hand. Morry saw probabilities of a wonder
ful punter In Owen nnd gave him some ex
pert advice. Kven with this tutoring, Hum
phries was unable to win tlv Job as punter
on last year's team. It has been through
his dally practicing that he Is now attract
ing such nttentlon as a booter. During the
last two weeks his punts have been averag
ing fifty-five yards. Besides being a star
punter he Is nn exceptionally fast man and
can either skirt the ends, throw a forward
pass or kick from a kick formation.
Owen is also a member ot the baseball
and basketball teams. Ho expects to finish
at Haverford this June and will try to ob
tain an appointment to Annapolis, His
brother, Collyn, la one year his junior, and
l also an all-around athlete, being captain
of the soccer and baseball teams, and will
most likely be elected leader of the basket
ball five The brothers Inherit their nthletu
prowess from their father, who was a well
known sportsman, being captain and catcher
In his senior year at Princeton.
Haverford took the field yesterday with
out having an official captain. The two
Humphries boys though that it would be
