i further proves that straw votes show which way the hot air blows.
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.

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."
Callahan Improved
Frankle Callahan Isn't slipping. He
convinced the largo gathering at the

unaney. m ujhwi .. ..... -..-
down the opposition regularly In Balti
more, and only the ruling of th city
officials In the Monumental City stop
ping boxing checked slugging George.
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.

also has engaged the clever ones with
success. Both boys have given battle
to Mike Gibbons and gone the required

those hurricane encounters.

the professionals, Barnes and Hagen,

sonally, I think the Schenectady gave
us an advantage. I am fully convinced
that a putter having a shaft directly,
behind the ball makes for accuracy, '
Myvfrlend Barnes putted in a fashion
largely his own. Barnes Is a tall man. I
He would stand with his legs wide apart
and the ball lying off his left, foot Then
he would give the ball a sort of a quick

I doubt if any other player In the coun
