IP ANYTHING, there was a larger gal lery at Merion on Saturday than there was at Pine Valley on Sunday, yet lesB than $600 was contributed to the Red Cross at Merlon and nearly $2000 at Pine Valley. The club members at the Valley were there with their pocketbooks and the galllery was generous as well. At the ninth green the balls played by the four golfers were sold and some lively bidding ensued. Marston was the first man up at auction by Lieutenant Sutton, and Jinks Earnshaw got his ball for $90, and offered to buy the rest of the players' at the same figures. Trav ers' ball sold for $100, J. Walter Zebley, the club treasurer, paying that amount, while J. Taylor bought Klrby's for the same sum. W. G. Davidson bought An derson's ball for $00. Jinks Earnshaw Get Busy Before the players left the first tee the privilege of caddylng was sold by Lieutenant Sutton, and Jinks Earnshaw paid $25 for the privilege of selecting his player, and he chose Kirkby, and Incidentally he not only lugged the bag around the course, but he gave the metropolitan champion sound advice at ii ti John Barnes, Michel Itosen- garten and F. Guild also paid $25 apiece. At the eighteenth hole the balls used ., th incnmlne nine were sold by Lieu tenant Sutton. Andy Carry bought Tray- .- h.n for $95. J. Walter zeDiey para IBK fnr Anderson'", and Joe Baker gave ten fr.r Mnrston's. Earnshaw decided that the members were not paying enough, so when Klrkby's ball was put up he ran the price up to $175. but W. G. Davidson ouiDia mm uj im) i" Some Profitable Side Issues a heautlful picture of the eighteenth green from the approach, with a picture of George A. Crump inserted, sold like hot cakes at $1 each, and scores of or ders were taken for a group picture of the four players taken by George H. Brooke. Sets of pictures of the course went well at $5 each. Jinks Earnshaw offered to pay big money for any set of clubs used, but the players smilingly refugee" to be drawn into it. For the first time in any big match at the Valley the balls were played as they lay. The custom has been to tee up through the fairway. Two weeks ago the course was one beautiful stretch of green grass, but a lack of rain and a blistering sun has browned the course ,i tho rreens. The greens are true, and it is expected that they will be as green as ever In a week or two. Some of them have not been affected ma terially, while on others there are small brown patches. But Pine Valley has gone through this stage in other years, and It always comes back. Many of the visitors had never seen the course before, and all were delight ed with Its golt possiDllllies, aim lucre was a unanimity of expression after the exhibition that It was one of the best-played matches ever staged over any Phllaaeipnia course. KirVby Stars From the Tee An analysis of the drives shows that on thirteenth holes, eliminating the short third and tenth and the fifth on the first round and the third again as tho first four holes are played over again to complete the elghteen-hole round, Kirkby was the leader, on seven noies ne out drove the others. Marston was the long driver on four and Travers on three and Anderson on none -at all. Travers on six holes had the second longest ball, while Kirkby and Anderson had the second longest ball on four holes, while Marston had that honor on two. The third long- By WILLIAM II. EVANS est ball was driven as follows: Marston, seven : Travers, three ; Klrby, two, and Anderson twice. The shortest tee shots were made by AnderFon, who on eight holes played first Kirkby played first but once. Travers twice and Marston three times. Anderson was distinctly outclassed from the tee and, except when one of the other three was In trouble, he was playing first after the tee shots. The longest drives of the day were made by Kirkby, with Marston a close second. Honors were easy with these two long swatters on the first nine holes. Coming In, Kirkby had a distinct advantage. Marston has not been In the bint of health since he has been Invalided home from the navy, and it affected his driving on the incoming holes, although it did not affect his playing. It simply gave him extra work on his second shots. Kirkby was either the first or second longest driver on ten holes, Marston on five and Travers on nine. Anderson was second man on four holes. Marston's Rare Golf Marston had a wonderful card in view of his troubles on the eighth and four teenth. He had birds on the fourth, seventh and fifteenth, and pars on 8 holes. Travers had birds on the fourth, fouiteenth and sixteenth and pars on 6 holes. Kirkby had birds on the fceventh and pars on 6 holes, while Anderson had no birds, but ho had par figures on 6 holes. Between them Travers and Marston had 6 birds and 13 pars, while Kirkby and Anderson had 1 bird and 12 pars. There were birds or pars on every hole but the sixth, eighth and eight eenth. Playing against the par of the course, Marston was 4 down. Travers was 7 down, Kirkby was 10 down and Anderson 13 down. Taking the best ball Travers and Marston were 1 up and Kirkby and Anderson were 6 down to par. The best ball of the four was: Out, 35, and In, 32. 'IV o Hard Lack Holes Marston played in beautiful form all day long, with the exception of the eighth and eighteenth, and In both In stances there were extenuating circum stances. On the eighth both he and Travers hooked their tee shots into a small clump of trees that run along the left side of the fairway to the green. Travers's ball lay against a small sap ling, and the only possible play for him was to get far enough away from the tree to give him an approach to the tree. Marston decided to try for the ereen, but nis secona snot nit a tree and landed him In a bunker. The eighth green on the lower level Is hard to stay on, and after getting on Ms snot was too strong and overran the green Into a bunker. His shot outlanded on the green, but the ball caught the downward slope and ran over Into another bunker, and when he got through he had taken 8 strokes. Had it not been a partnership match he would have played out Into the fairway for an approach to the green on his third shot. On the fourteenth his second shot was topped and finally came to rest In front of the board bordering the drive Into the club. It was practically un playable. His first Btroke hit the top of the board, but on the second he Just managed to strike the ball on the top. It was almost impossible to get any loft to the shot and the ball hit the rail on the other side of the stream, but luckily the ball bounded back over the water. Had it not been for these two unfortunate holes he would have had a 73 or 74 without a doubt. With these two exceptions his golf was of a very fine order. He tired toward the finish so far as his tee shots were concerned, but he more than made it up on fine second shots and his work on the green was of a very fine order all day long. He putted with confidence, and the keen greens were much to his liking. Travers Sensational Work He and Travers supplied most of the sensational and thrilling shots of the day. The four times amateur champion played some wonderful shots, notably his Iron shot on the second hole, his ap proach on the eighth and bis approach on the fourteenth, not to mention a number of long putts that he ran down, two of them for birds. There Is no other man playing who uses his head better than Travers, and while at times he was in trouble with his tee' shots, he had plenty of fine drives and his Iron shots, of which he Is master, were near ly always good. Kirkby had never seen the course be fore Sunday and was, naturally, at a disadvantage. As has been said, his tec work was of a high order and some of his Irons were thrillers. During the first round he held the other pair without any assistance from his partner. During the day some one asked him what he thought of the course and he promptly replied (hat It was even better than he had been told. During his round he told Howard W. Perrin and Howard W. Street that If there was a vacancy in the non-resident membership, he wanted to Join. He remarked that It was far su perior to the National Links, hitherto regarded as the best test of golf In this country. I Tctmwork Was Poor There was nothing brilliant about Anderson's play in the first round, but coming home he played brilliantly al though the super par golf of Travers and Marston was too much for him. As a team Kirkby and Anderson did not work well for while Kirkby was bril liant the first round he fell down com ing home, while Anderson was poor the first round and brilliant coming home. On the other hand Travers and Marston were on the Jqb constantly and each backed the other up In fine style. On their home Journey they played every hole but the eighteenth In either bird or par figures, scoring birds on the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth. Their partnership as well as their In dividual work on the last nine holes particularly was signally brilliant. GOLFERS USE. MANY GRIPS Chick Evans Is Impressed With Variety Tried by Amateurs and Pros By CHAS. ("CHICK") EVANS, JR. I recently played In a lied' Cross match in the East with Travers, Barnes and Hagen, and at -that time I was Impressed with the variety In grip and other golf essentials that were em ployed In thai' match. The professionals Barnes' and Hagen; used a straight Inter locking grip," which I described in an earlier article, and with which probably every golfer is familiar. Travers stuck to tho old double V- kind,' while I used" the plain finger grip that Is, I had all fingers on the shaft and the right' thumb straight down the shaft, The other three players held the thumb so that nearly all the nail of the rlghi' thumb was to the left of the shaft. In my back swing I do not go so far back as I used to do several years ago, but I have acquired the knack of getting my ody Into the stroke at the moment of impact, fo tnat i am distance this year than ever before. I notice In the Iron play from the tee on short holes that Travers and Hagen used the American style of bring ing the club back to horizontal, while Barnes and myself used the shorter 'Brit ish method. LEW TENDLER TO MAKE RIVERSIDE HIS TRAINING CAMP FOR CLINE BATTLE Flashy Southpaw to Complete Work in Jersey for Big Bout at Shibe Park All-Star Show on July 16 Lewis vs. O'Keefe By JAMES S. CAROLAN 44TYDJA soe wot Lew dld ta Calla-, combatants, Eddie XJ han at th" shore Saturday night, Lewis. A few yei gang7- blurted bubbling Phil Glassman, as he rattled Into the office late yester day afternoon. "Well, this Patsy Cllne, a tough guy, wlll.be Jest as easy. Lew has beat It to th" country fer work for this fight, and Jest watch him at Shlbe Park nex week. Remember! Watch him." Honest Phil, Just back from the shore, where his boy scored a victory over Franklo Callahan, was happy. His star continued to shine, his pockets were bulging with the revepue derived from inure encounter, and altogether the Honest Phil was satisfied with himself and his fighter. Naturally, Classman doesn't take much credit for the showing of his boy: neither does any general for the work of his army. But Phil always Is ready to say a good word about Tendler, and Lews showing against Callahan didn't serve to make Phil less enthusiastic. Lew at Riverside "Sent Low down Into old Jeisey, where he will stay until the night of the fight," exploded Phil. '"I have him at River side, and that sure Is one fine place to train. Away from the city and every thing the boy won't havo nothing to do but train. Lew is out to make It unhealthy for this tough feller Cllne, and when Lew sets out to hurt any guy, then beware of Lew." Cllne Is one of the few boys who over rocked Leonard, and those who wit nessed that engagement at the Olympla last December, when Cllne had Benny wabbling, will not overlook his fighting qualities. He Is dangerous all the time and one of the aggressive type that al ways Insures a real battle. Irish Patsy is to do his training at Reddy Wlgmore's health resort In South Philadelphia, where he will be within a short distance of the battleground. Cllne met Tendler last April, and in that clash learned Tendler wasn't an overrated fighter. Judging from the frequency of the rapid-fire exchanges. It was a great fight, and now both boys are out to do better In the coming clash. Rains Some Worker Tendler and Cllne will be the head liners at the all-star show arranged by Leon Rains fer Shlbe Park on the night ot July 16. Promoter Rains devoted six hard weeks of his time to land tho signatures of the six boys who are to supply the entertainment, and when he wired fiorrl New York last Tuesday that the big show was on he was a happy, satisfied promoter. Promoter Leon brought back the sig natures of the combatants as well as the $200 from each man for weight and appearance. This money now Is In the hands of Harry Edwards, president of the Olympla A. A. President Edwards has promoted many big shows In his time, but he admits the card arranged for next Tuesday night brings together Just about the best of the present-day fistic talent. "This show is one that appeals." said Mr. Edwards. "It has all the necessary class and will bring together some high class boys. They are well matched and should put up some great scraps."

Their last fight at the Olympla was a warm one. Greb Is one of the huskiest of the O'Keefe and Gus voarx aeo. 5USt wnen Gus was rapidly nearlng the top of the bantam division, he was set back Just as quickly when ho walked into one oi TMdlA'ii rlirht smashes. Gus has wiped out everything In his past, but this k. o. teverse. When Gus started to claim the feather title, Eddie was the first to . enter a protest. Jack Welnsteln, us manager of UKeefe, right away thought of the past, of Eddie's k. o. victory over Gus, and everything good that Eddie had done. Active Jack didn't lose any time In In forming Manager Burns that Gus would havo to clean up that defeat before his path would be clean. After weeks of argument, the match was made, the managers and fighters signing the ar ticles of agreement last Wednesday night. Much Is at stake' for both boys, and neither Is overlooking anything In the way. of preparation. Johnny Kllbane, king of the feather weights, has returned to the spotlight. After nearly a year of absence, the flashy champion took part In the benefit boxing show nt League Park, Cleve land, last Saturday. Johnny boxed Larry Hansen four rounds and decisively out pointed his man In every round. Johnny was one of tho headllners on the pro gram, which netted the war charity 115.000. The champion has been boxing in structor at Camp Sherman ever since early last fall. His work was ot such a high character that last spring he was placed. In chargo of boxing In all the army cantonments. His public ex hibition showed that army life hasn't slowed him down. Johnny is too busy with his army work, however, to return to the pro fessional ring. TIN LAI IS ORDERED TO WORK OR FIGHT Tp Billy Tin Lai goes the distinction of being the first ball player in this city to come under the "work or fight" rule. His local draft board will send him a notice this week to get Into one of the necessary classes or be placed in Class 2. Tin Lai. who came to this citv about four years ago with the Chinese base ball team from Honolulu, is married and has a home at' 2039 Walnut street. He was one of the most promising plav "ra on the Chinese team that toured the United States in 1914 and made such a record for itself, defeating all of the best professional nnd semlprofessionai teams in the country.
