BEAT AMATEURS Nicholls and Smith Prove too Strong for Travers and Kirkby at Wykagyl in Sunday Golf Game. New York, June 11.—Gil Nicholls of Great Neck and Alex Smith of Wykagyl proved too strong a com- bination for Jerome Travers and Os- wald Kirkby in their special match yesterday at Wykagyl. The pros overwhelmed the amateurs by a mar- gin of 8 up and 6 to play. It can hardly be said that there was any one player’s score that stood out, but counting the total strokes of the day Nicholls had the best figures individ- ually and helped mu side to win the most holes. Alex Smith played much better than in some time. He reminded the on- lookers of the time when Alex was a champion. He registered two rounds of. 75. In the morning round his ieam returned a best ball of 69. Gil had a round of 73. This was just six strokes better than the amateurs could do and they retired to luncheon six down. The pros gained a great advantage on the first seven holes and it was a case then of the amateurs hustling to keep the pros from making a run- away match of it. Smith started out by winning the first two holes in three each, clipping a stroke off of par frém each one. Gil then came to the front to do his bit and won the fifth and sixth.

Moorehead’s Team—Oapitol Oity Nine Toys With Crowe’s Team. In as poorly a played game of base- | hllummdmmbynmm representing the New Britain High i school, the locals went down for the second time this season to Hartford High at Walnut Hill park Saturday afternoon. When the crowd sighed with relief at the conclusion of the “game,” the Ngures of the official scorer read, Martford 9, New Britaln 3. . The one-sided score does not tel the superiority of the Capitol city team over Captain Crowe's proteges. Using Wolfe on the mound for the visitors was & wise move by the visit- ing coach, for the little southpaw held the locals safe in his hand all the way, and backed up by brilliant sup- port was in danger but once. For New Britain, Sullivan, Dunni- gan and O'Brien played consistently, jbut other ‘than these players, the work of the home boys was very bad. The season which has been a disas- trous one for the Franklin Square boys, came to a close with Saturday’s game.

Portland, Me., June 11—Dick Tuck- ey, who got his start in New Haven has been suspended by the Portland cludb. Tuckey saw Saturday’s game here in which the Murlins won over Portland, § to 4, but he did not see it from the bench, He occupied a seat in the grandstand. ‘Tuckey pulled a funny one on the Portland club when he asked leave of absence over a week, also giving sickness in his family as the reason. ‘Manager Garrity gladly permitted him to go home under the circumstances. After a few days absence with no word by mail or wirs, Manager Gar- rity began to get suspiclous, did some wiring and writing, learned something_which looked , none too good for Tuckey’s reputation for far- ness and getting no answer from Tuckey suspended him. Tuckey wished to play with Bridgeport this sedson 4nstead of with Portland but finally went to Maine. He quit the team just as Portland was swinging into an eight-game week schedule. | I I | REDEEMS o MEDIOCRE SHOWING .| CHISOX ND PHILS MAINTAIN lEAll_ ad Intseting New York, June 11.—With the 1 baseball season -two ‘months neither the National league has at the same: time gain on its o 'nents. makes a good showing.
