At luncheon time the clubhouse was

flag of all was the great symbol of
Mercy, the Red Cross, and above It
atop the tall flagstaff streamed Old
Glory.
Less than a week before Warren and

was really warm, almost hot, and trees,
shrubs, vegetation in general, was in

July 4th for Red Cross
With the time set for its second Lib
erty tournament only a month away, the
United States Golf Association Is send
ing to hundreds of clubs throughout the
land a reminder concerning the event
which will be brought off on July 4.
As the secretary says, It lj the hope
that all clubs will take part, whether
they belong to the association or not.
The letter, signed by Howard F. Whit
ney, reads as follows:
"The United States Golf Association,
with the co-operation of the American
Red Cross, will hold its second Liberty
tournament on Independence Day, July
4. The Red Cros will donate a medal
similar to that presented last year, and
the association will provide engraved
certificates. It Is hoped that all golf
clubs throughout the country, wether
ainilated with the United States Golf
Association or not. will participate.

Embarrassing for I'lajem
At 12-30 o'clock we left the club
house. Downtown we found a band and
almost twenty cars. In each of the first
four was one of the golfers, accompanied
by a sturdy little girl holding aloft a
placard bearing a hugo Red Cross and
his name In letter of tremendous size. It
was an embarrassing moment for modest
men. There was a large crowd on the
Btreet and at the windows, and as every f
woman who does Red Cross work In
Duluth was asked to wear her uniform
the effect was Impressive.
Back at the clubhouse the pretty Red
Cross girls, with cheeks like roses from
tne nipping wind, sold tags, cigarettes
and candy, and there was even a fortune
wheel at which I won a wrist watch. A
British recruiting officer and a blue uni
formed French officer were In our gal
lery the Briton much Interested In our

tiful girl who accompanied him.
The match was a pretty good one.
with plenty of both good and bad shots.
Warren and I were defeated by the pro
fessionals, and It was all right, too. Wee
Clarkson is very popular at his club and
his victory will do him a world of good.
Clarey Star Bomb Thrower
Clarey Is now a top i-ergeant and has
become very proficient as a bomb
thrower, and he says this Is due entirely
to the fact that golf has taught him to
Judge distances. Like every man In thei
service, ho is anxious to get to France.
While he and Hoffner may be out of
practice, the Woodbury team would be
greatly strengthened by their presence,
for they rank among the tgn or twelve
best players In tho Philadelphia diBtrlct
Clarcy made a splendid showing In the
spring tournament at Shawnee, which
ho won by defeating some of the best
players In this city and the Metropolitan
district.
There is no doubt If Woodbury and
Merchantvllle should win today that the
final match next Thursday will be one
of the most hotly contested affairs In
the history of the competition. With
Hoffner and Clarcy, Woodbury has also
Norman Maxwell, Stppp, Hamlll, the
Green brothers and Washington. Mer
chantvllle has such stars as Maurice
Rlsley, Fred Knight, Rurlelgh, Swope
and Challenger, so that the final would
be a toss-up.
Old York Road May TV rn Tables
But while Woodbury should not have
such a hard time beating North Hills,
which is not as strong as It Ivas last
year through the loss of Styles! Cooper
and Dewees Merchantvllle will have Hb
hands full with Old York Road tomoi-
ow, as Its victories In the New Jersey
division have not been as clean-cut as
the worH shown by Woodbury In the
first section. Playing r gainst Riverton
with Rlsley and Knight not playing
Merchantvllle just managed to win by a
single match.

RATES QUESTION UP
By PAUL PREP
TTOW long will Percy Lawrence, of.dition, ns
-- Australia, the present forty-mile
motor-paced chatnnlon of America, con
tinue to ride In his virtually unbeatable
form? In the two forty-mile races staged
by the Point Rreeze Motordrome this
season he has been returned the victor,
and In doing so made a record that most
1 kely will stand for some time to come.
In his two races at the local bowl
Lawrence bnsn't once lost his pace
maker. Tills alone usually means from
one to two miles In each contest. While
his opponents have been experiencing
difficulty In keeping up with their motor
pacemakers and losing a lap here and
another lap there, the American title
holder has been right up with his part
ner, and, as a result, has won both
events.
Sooner or Later
Hut the question arises, how long will
this continue? Lawrence can't be ex
pected to ride In harmony with his pace
maker all the time, for he Is only human,
like the rest of us, and Is bound to lose
his man sooner or later. Clarence Car
man, who has had hard luck or some
thing In his races, is beginning to believe
that Lawrence Is carrying a lucky stone
or some other lucky thing around with
him.
Tonight, at tho Point Breeze track,
Lawrence will have his work cut out for
him, and If he expects toytriumph again
he -will have to perform In great fashion,
for In Victor Llnart, Vincent Madonna
and George Wiley he meets three of the
best motor-paced riders In the country,
Linart in Shape
Llnart, according to Jack Roden, Is
the champion of Belgium and Is confi
dent of administering to Lawrence his
first defeat. Llnart arrived In this city
on Tuesday hnd worked out on the local
track for two hours that afternoon .and
yesterday. He Is In fine physical con-
was demonstrated by his
splendid victory In the special fifty-mile
motor-paced race last Saturday evening
at Boston.
A great deal of the outcome of to
night's featuro'race hinges on the draw
Ing of the pacemakers. Peerless Jimmy
Hunter has shown that he Is about the
best In this section and, If Lawrence la
fortunate enough to draw him then It
will take some tall hustling to beat them
out for hotiors and the JC00. Hunter)
and Lawrence' have ridden together a
great deal and understand each other
like a book.
But If Llnart, Madonna or Wiley
should have Hunter then the race will
be fought to the last. This Isn't done
to belittle the prowess of Leon Provost,
Norman Anderson or Speedy Vnnder
berry. Any one who has seen Hunter
In action this year will admit that he
looks like a million dollars In comparison
,wlth tho other pacemakers, with the
exception of Anderson.
To Aid Amateur Riders
In addition to the forty-mile motor
paced race there will be two motorcycle
races for professionals and n tandem
bicycle race. ,Last night It was an
nounced that teams representing New
York, Newark, Trenton nnd this city
would compete In the latter event. I
The Point Breeze management Is en
dcavorlng to bring back tho days of
yesteryear when the bicycle was In
vogue. An amateur event will be staged
each Thursday and Saturday evenings,
and at the close of the season a cham
pionship race will be held. In addition
to furthering tho Interests of bicycle
riders. Manager Roden Is endeavoring
to discover some home talent who
po.ssess the ability to develop into a
first-class motor-paced rider, All tho
men who compete In the motor-paced
events at the local track are outsiders.
SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
New York, June 6.
A ruling was adopted at the special
meeting of the National League yes
terday to cover the case of a player
who, after joining the army or
navy, secures a furlough and re
turns to his club for the purpose of
playing one or more games. It was
decided that no such player should be
eligible to play unless he carried the
written permission of his commanding
officer and unless his club was under
the tvventy-thrco player limit. After
September 1, such players will not be
permitted to take part In a league game
under any circumstances.
There was no unfavorable comment
upon the present baseball conditions, the
concensus of opinion being that the game
and Its support were all that could be
asked under the circumstances. There
was no disposition to discuss n curtail
ing of the regularly scheduled season
and the magnates present were unani
mously in favor of the completion of the
full pennant race.

president except Chicago and Cincin

commission, in view of the traveling
commitments made months ago when
the reason's schedule was adopted,
Tha'advanco In mileage and Pullman

clubs are operating, and that the mag
nates are hopeful that a special ruling
can be made in view of the fact that all
arrangements for the various circuit
trips were made at the very beginning
of the season, ,
The question of the effect of General
Crowder's order relative to all men of

up for discussion, it was decided to

Barlow, none of which she was able to
make, and they came at a time when a
putt would have made a tremendous

You Take Premier In and Unconsciously
Make It a Member of the Family
MOTHER likps Premier because it is quiet;
gentle, safe, obedient and tractable. Sister lilces
Premier because it bristles with "class" and because
it strikes envy into the hearts of the other girls.
4 Brother likes it because in Premier he can run
away from those long nosed, teasing cars that have
a habit of sneaking up beside you and challenging
you to get away quicker than they can.
Father likes Premier because it is kind to him,
Nand doesn't run up big bills.
Premier is the pet of many a good family. "
