BARNES'S RECOR

Twelve Par Holes and Six Birds Make Up Wonderful
Card Warren H. Webb Registers 70 Over
Difficult Shawnee Course
By WILLIAM H. EVANS :
MORRIS TALLMAN, who succeeded
long Jim Barnes as the professional
at the Whltemarsh Valley . Country
Club, equated the record of the course,
67, made In August, 1917, by Barnes.
He missed a short putt on the short
ninth hole for a bird or two, otherwise
a new mark would have been hung up
for the course. Ills home Journey of
21 strokes Is the lowest ever made for
the course, and It Included 6 birds and 4
par holes, as brilliant a bit of golf as
has been feen on any local course.
Hero are the cards of Tallman,
Barnes and the par of the course:

Two Remarkable Cards '
Tallman had 12 par holes and 6 birds.
He did not play a slnsle hole over par.
He began with 7 straight par holes,
shot a bird on 8 and a par on 9. Com
lnu home he had birds on tho tenth,
twelfth, fourteenth, sixteenth and sev
enteenth, and pars on the other B.
His card was made up of 2 twos, 4
threes, 9 fours and 3 fives. Playing
against the par of the course he was 6
up.
Barnes had 6 birds and 12 par holes.
Ho also did not play a single hole over
par. He had a more brilliant start
than his successor, for of the first 9
holes 4 were birds and 5 were par holes.
Coming home ho had birds on the elev
enth and twelfth and pars on the
I
others, finishing with S par holes in
row. Ho ha,i . K threes. 10 fours
and 2 fives. He Was also 6 up on par?

With the annual national Irack and
field championships of tho A. A. TJ
scheduled to be held In less than a
month, the track critics already are
doping out the chances of the various
teams, which will compete on the newly
made cinder path of the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station, under the aus
pices of the Chicago Athletic Associa
tion. Local fans arc banking thdr hopes
on the nell-lrilalieed Fquad of the Mead
ow brook Club, of this city. This organi
zation, through the untiring work of
Secretary Samuel J. Dallas, has made
rapid advance In the athletic world, and
today Is looked upon as one of the lead
ing clubs In the country.
But while many regard the Meadow
brook Club as a slight favorite, there
are two clubs which shouldn't be over
looked These are tho Ureat Lakes
Naval Training Station and the team
which will represent the First Naval
District, with headquarters at Boston.
Stationed at these two service camps are
somo of the best club and collegiate
sprinters, hurdlers and Jumpers compet
ing today
The Great Lakes Station already has
laid claim to tho athletic supremacy of
the navy. But whoever did the claim
ing must havo forgotten to look up the
quality of the athletes "down nast."
Lieutenant Little, who was manager of
I the Harvard track team In 1912 and one
i of the best shot-putters In tho eastern
I collegiate ranks, Is grooming a team
' which will be a formidable opponent for
all others.
Lieutenant Little has four wonderful
runners in his dlrtrlct who are sure to
vrlr. points In any kind of competition.
In addition there are many who are ca
pable of picking up a few points here
, and there In the field events. The quar
1 tet of star performers are Tom Halpln,
Mlko Devaney, frank Shea and Carl
, Erdman
Halpln Is one of the most consistent
i quarter-rollers of the last decade He
I was national champion In 1916 and can
1 bo depended upon to foot the distance
' around .49. Halpln Is at the Boston
Navy Vard.
I Frank Shea, tho great University of
I Pittsburgh quarter-mller. who equalled
i the world's record of ,47 2-5 for the dls-
i tance on a circular track, and Is expected

AT STAKE TODAY
Teams Will Wind Up the
Season With A. M. and
P. M. Contests
The closing games In the Main Line
Baseball League will be played today,
and either Dobson or Autocar will win
the flag. They arc tied for tho lead and
there may be a play-off necessary unless
one team wins Loth and the other loses
one. To pick the winner Is Impossible
Each club Is down to meet the Wayne
U. S. Marines, and this club, with Lddle
Collins In the Ilne-up, has, won three In
a row.
The other games are with the tall
enders, Dobson opposing Lansdon-na and
Autocar facing Dun & Co. The league
race was again tied up on Saturday
when Autocar nnd Dobson came to
gether at East Falls and tho home boys
were returned a winner after ten in
nings. Dobson chased Walt Xohler from
the box In the first inn!ng and compiled
fourteen hits against nine. The contest
was the most wretched of the season
from fi. fielding standpoint, and a total
of sixteen errors were recorded, ten by
Dobson and six by Autocar. The Wayne
U. S. Marines had little difficulty in
shutting out Lansdowne. 30, Pitcher
Brooke allowing only three hits.
The big game of the season Is on In
the Philadelphia Suburban League at
Lupton Ball Park this afternoon, when
the home nine opposts Fern Rock In a
battle for the second half pennant title.
The winner of the game gets the honor,
and a large crowd will no doubt be on
hand. Lupton lost on Saturday to
Olney, 2-1. Both clubs were held score
less until the eighth, when each side
registered once. With .Phil Smith on
second In the ninth Bob David sent a
slashing double to left and sent across
the plate the winning run. Barrett al
most won another game, but only suc
ceeded in giving Fern Hock somewhat
of a scare. Thj tallenders sent four
runs across In the ninth. Just one shy
of tying up the scores, which was 9-8.
Llndlcy easily defeated Frankford,
9-5.

McCARRON TRIMS KOPIN
Allentown Battler Triumphs, in
National WJimI-Uji Jack
Russo Loses .
Jack McCajron, tho Allentown middle
weight, won as he pleased'from Battling
Kopln, of the United States navy, who
substituted for Harry Greb, of Pitts
burgh, In the final bout at the '.National
A. A. last Saturday night.. McCarron
had his opponent in distress .many times,
but couldn't put over the decisive punch.
Jack Russo, formerly of New Oi leans,
was outpointed by Frankle (Young)
Brltt, of Boston, In the semifinal.: Russo
seemed to be weak and couldn't lift
his arms, and he didn't seem to 'be the
same Russo that held Johnny Mealy to
a fast six-round draw a week a,go";
Frankie Conway, of Pusev & Jones,
defeated Benny Kaffman, of Hog Island,
In the main preliminary, Conway used
an effective left jab that kept Kaufman
away from Kd Slattery's coming cham
pion. Frankle Clarke, of this city,
knocked the tar out of Benny Coster.
of New York, and In the opening tilt,
Eddie. Dundee, of League! Island, was put
to sleep In the fourth round by Kid
Wolf, also of League Island.
Pete Herman, bantamweight cham
pion of the world, was challenged to de
fend his title against Joe Tuber today,
wfien Dan Campbell, his manager, posted
a check for $500 with tho sports editor
of the Kvknino-Puhuo I.KDOEn to bind
the match and for weight and appear
ance. Campbell Is willing to sign the
articles for a six or sixty-round battle,
any time and any place, but the weight
must be at the bantam limit 116 pounds
ringside.
Campbell was represented by Adam
Ryan, the well-known professor, who
now is building ships, with other work
ers, at Hog Island. Adam left the ship
yard fiat this morning to attend to the
important business on hand.
Confident of Victory
"I know Joe Tuber can take the cham
pionship from Herman, and It Is up to
Peto to consent to a match. We only
ask that the champion come In at 11C
pounds, and he can name all of the
other conditions governing the bout.
"Joe has Improved wonderfully In the
last six months and can whip any ban
tam In the world. When he boxed Her
man at the Olyinpla last winter he had
the champ all but out In the secopd
round, when ho hit him on the Jaw.
Tuber, however, didn't have enough gen
eralship to go In and finish his man,
and the battle went the limit. He has
changed now, and with his punching
nnd cleverness Is more than a match for
him.
Will Fight Any Place
"I don't care how long or how short
the bout Is. If Herman wants to box
Tuber In Philadelphia, It can bo ar
ranged. The same goes for New Or
leans or any other place. Dat Camp
bell and myself are anxious to match
Tuber with the champion, for we are
confident our boy will win.
"If Herman means business, let him
cover our forfeit."
Tuber always has been a good punch
er, but never has been considered seri
ously because of his weight. He never
weighed more than 110 pounds, Mit re
cently ho has filled out and grown
stronger. Ho Is under the watchful eye
of Adam Ryan, and Is Improving every
'day. It would be a great match
