The game’s the best patent cure ever invented- Those who want to be convinced of thiy need only visit the Apawamis links, at Rye, where the annual senicrs’ golf tournament has been in progress for the past few weeks, and watch several hundred ‘‘old’ boys,” whose ages range from fifty-five to eighty- four, clout the ball around with the Svcompmaonee spirit of youngsters. If this wasn’t enough the visitor could ask any play- ‘er to what he attributed his gocd health, and the answer invariably would be —golf: Many of theé com- peting vets tell stories how the sport performed almost magical cures of rheumatism, gout, etc. There’s James D. Foote, for instance. He never took up golf till he was fifty. He's been playing it ever since, and now at sixty-five the Apawamis veteran is as fit as the traditional fiddle. How- ever, this isn't health giving lesson; it is a report of the seniors’ meet. Yet one gets the idea after watch- ing the old fellows perform that Ponce de Leon, several hundred years ago, had the wrong dope in his search for a fountain of youth.

GRIDIRON ELEVENS OPEN SEASON TODAY “Big Four” Have Games That Will Test Their Strength New Haven, Sept. 26.-—Today there will be a general buckling on of the football armor, a general beginning of the competitive season. The schedule part of the gridiron season really be- gins today. Many college elevens sturt that important part of their cam saien, The Army, the Navy, Cornell and sev- eral big western universities don’t play until next but enough teams will be in action, for the first time this fall, to give the season its formal launching. Such big guns as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth and Brown are down for the first test of their 1915 material. The lineups of all of these will be tentative, for there is much experimenting with and sift- ing of timber to be done before the ultimate makeup of elovens will be in sight. The Harvard squad, in spite of the loss from last season of men of super- ability, contains material for a power. ful eleven, a first line eleven at any rate, on individual ability and experi- ence alone. It doesn’t appear to have anything on in the first two wecks of its schedule to give trouble. Colby is to go ag1inst the potentially formid- able Crimson outfit today. The Uni- versity of Maine eleven plays at Yale, and Maine of late has been turning out lively and speedy team: Frank Hinkey has shuffled his varsity men and newer talent around so much in the preliminary practice that the Blue’s opening battle is of added in- terest because of doubt as to who will be the varsity selections for the get- away contest. The Georgetown players come up from Washington to meet the Tigers at Princeton. It is figured that the week, Tigers can win with a few points to ! spare, but the Georgetown team isn’t one to be beaten by a reputation. The | chief item of interest regarding this game, however, is that it will be the first competitive appearance of a Nas- sau team coached by Rush. There- fore, Princetonians will watch de- velopments more eagerly than or- dinarily. West Virginia is Penn's first oppo- nent, and the latter’s alumni hope for a start which will augur a better sea- son than last year's, although there’s a whole lot that first games don't tell. Besides Dartmouth and Brown, the playing schedule will begin at such prominent centers of football industry as Williams, Amherst, Syracuse, La- fayette, Lehjgh, Penn State, Wash- ington and Jefferson, Trinity and Union é | plus their pitching, they look to have PORT id “The Phillies,” advises a well known Fanatic, “will win this next werld series sure—because if you will look back over the dope you will soon find that the underdog has landed on top in nearly every world series start.

How It Works Out. So of the eleven world series games played, four were figured as even propositions before the first blow was struck. Of the other seven games, where there was pronounced advance evi- dence in favor of one club, the favor- ite came through tidily on three occa- sions and was beaten four times. ‘Which means that while the under- dogs haven’t been consistent winners, they have more than held their own — having operated four upsets out of seven chances. Red Sox Favorites. Tn this nevt series the Red Sox un- doubtedly will be slight favorites. They will be favorites because with toeir outfield combination on defense, Athletics; even Mack- , Week. At their best they are too close greater defensive strength. And be- cause they have a harder hitting club. But where this margin, club for club, might be strongly in Boston's favor, it will be pruned down by the superexcellence of one great pitcher— Alexander. Those supporting the Phillies will do so largely in the belief that Alexander can do in 1915 what Mathewson did in 1905—win three games; and that Demaree, Chalmers wr another Philly pitcher can attach the fourth. Or they are figuring that Rig Alec of the side-arm sweep will bag at least two games and that his rals will nail two more out of their four or flve starts, bolstered up by the slugging of Cravath and Luderus. They will be playing two or three men ogainst an entire club in the know- ledge that two or three stars before have been sufficient to spin a dizzy upset in a short match of from 4 to 7 gamies. But they will have no chance to match the two clubs, man for man, on copy paper and prove the Philly Machine is the better balanced array. Both Phillies and Red Sox have proven themselves to be clubs of more than average gameness under heavy pressure. But the Phillies here have this advantage: They have accom- plished what few thought they could accomplish, while the Red Sox merely carried out the early spring dope. And the psychological edge here be- jcngs to the club that has already taken one high hurdle with sufficient impetus to go out after another. Texas Leaguers. The Philliles have shown that “Never-had-a-change’” doesn’t belong in the lexicon of a good, game guy. Connie Mack has added this to science: object can descend at a far rate than it can travel upward. faster “T'll tell you what the Cornell- Farvard and Cornell-Michigan games will prove,” writes Ezra C. “Cornell | will win both, and two weeks later | the Yale-Harvard game will still be billed for the football championship of America."” “Rush working Princeton at top | speed.” Well. if we were coaching a club that had to meet Foster San-! ford’s Rutgers eleven early in October we wouldn't play it any too safely | either. Princeton won't find Rutgers | ary more dangerous than eight or ten lons. Not a bit. Travers vs, Ouimet. The last big autumn golf match of | the season may be the best. For in the Leslie Cub matches, at the Merion | Cricket club, it is almost a certainty | that Jerry Travers and Francis Ouimet will meet in another golf classis that should stand out as one of the all-star rounds of the year. Since Jerry beat Ouimet at Garden City, in 1913, the Open Champion has lost three matches to the Boston star | —one at Brookline, one at Ekwanok | and one at Baltusrol. This match should be interesting and bitterly | fought for & number of reasons: | both have been amateur champions: both have been open champions, and ' Poth have something left over from He has proved' that a heavy | Detroit to wipe out. A victory (orl ‘elther would help clear up that De- LIGHT Grantlend Rice troit setback, although Travers still | has his title of Open Champion to fall | back upon whatever happens. That | is something that can’t be taken away —until the next open, at least, There is no way of forecasting the outcome of this meeting. Travers was playing better than Ouimet both at Baltursol and at Detroit. But this bas nothing to do with Merion next to being even to be judged apart. And no living soul can say which of the two will be upon his game when the next test comes. McLoughlin, you may remember, beat Johnston easily enough at San Fransico earlier in the summer. But Johnston won at Forest Hills. Vie- tory in America among any number is now beginning to depend largely upon form for one day or one week where so many are easily cabable of finishing in front and where the one of two rulers of other days no longer control the fleld. PIRATES VS, COLLIERS. The Pirates will close their season Bunday afternoon at Hart’s field when they will meet the Colliers who won the championship of the Hardware City league. Schmidt or Forbes will pitch for the Pirates and Mack will catch. Beckman and Connelly will form the battery for the Colliers. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. FORD AND WILLIAMS DRAW. New Haven Lads Put Up Best Bout in Elm City in Years. New Haven, Sept. 25.—Bunny Ford and Harry Willlams put up a great battle at the Arena last night for ten rounds and it was the windup of the best boxing show seen in this city for a good many years. All the boxers appeared, there were no unnecessary delays and the Irish-American Ath- letic club can pat itself on the back for succeeding where so many failed. The referee, Dave Fitzgerald. called the star hout a draw and this was about all he could do, He certainly covld not have given.the bout to Ford, for Williams had much the bet- ter of the last two rounds and in the tenth he had Ford groggy. Ford did not appear to as good advantage as he did in his fight with Charley Bergen and he moved slower. Wil- liams put up the best fight of his ca- | reer, Ford weighed 134 pounds and Williams 138. PIONEERS VS, RED MEN. Championship Game at Pioneer Dia- mond Sunday Afternoon, What should determine which is the fastest team in the city will be decided at the Pioneer diamond to- morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, when the Pioneers will cross bats with the Red Men, winners of the pennant in the Fraternal league. Supporters of both clubs have been at logger heads as to the respective abilities of their clubs, and the game will settle beyond a doubt which club can rightfully claim the loeal cham- rionship. Winkler or Johnson will be on the firing line for the Pioneers with Noonan catching. For the Red Men Oberg will probably be the selection with Wright catching.

While the Church street boys came out on top of the heap, it was not accomplished easily, the stiffest kind of opposition being presented by their opponents who after being beaten in the first frame came back strong in the see- ond and forced the Herald to take a severe drubbing. When the boys faced each other in the third and deciding game deter: mination was featured on each coums tenance and each was determined to win. The manager of the Herald af. ter giving an exhibition of bowling that resembled cheese, tendered him. self a “tin shower” in favor of “Billie” O'Brien, and: in this he showed himself to at least have some knowledge of the game, as far a8 managerial duties go. O'Brien Was the star of the game getting three “marks” in the string and his aceups ate shooting had mueh to do with the victory. McEvey and Edwunds also shone in this game, the jast named placing the game on ice by a spare in the eighth frame _(hat spelled defeat for the “biscuit make~ rs” McAllister after a bad start in the first game, came to life and polled up to his usual high mark during the remainder of the game. Never before did a team want te capture a game more than the oppos nents last evening. They took them- selves very seriously and when defeat seemed to be the inevitable they 18- sorted to jibes dnd jeers at times which tended to disturb the eyen temperament of the Herald team. « It may be said that as bowlers the feated team are comedians (not jokes as some will be prone to - infer). Cheap small town comedy was the nature of their remarks, but it enly tended to have an exhilarating effpet on the boys from the “shop.” McIntyre was the high man of the evening when in the last game he “spilled the beans” for a mark of 103, Glenn and Driscoll also rolled gon« sistent games.
