OUIMET- ANG_TRAVERS DEFEATED ——— . feated Ulmer 9 and 8 Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1—America's two leading goifers were eliminated from the national amateur champion- ship tournament at the Country club this afterncon. Francis Ouimet, hold- er of the amateur title, lost to James D. Standish, Jr., of Detroit, 5 down and 4 to play, and Max R Marston of Springfield, N. J., triumphed. over Jerome D. Travers, open champion, two and ome. Ouimet played poorly, slicing his drives and missing short putts. Marston’s putting was_almost perfect. g Standish, one down'from the four- teenth round, evened the match on the twentleth hole: took the lead on the 28rd and held a margin until the Marston was one hole behind Trav- ers when they began the second half of their struggle. e forged into the lead at the 28th hole and never relin- quished it. His greatest feat occurred at the 30th hole, where he senk a | forty foot putt. Nelson . Whitney of New Orleans continued to _sweep through all opposition by running away with A, C. Ulmer of Jackson- ville. He clalmed a 9 to 8 victory. John G. Anderson, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., eliminated Joseph Schlottman, of Detroit, 4 and 3. J. N.

Y., Sept. 1.—Chester W. Lassell, a wealthy amateur reinsman of Whitinsville, Mass, won the na. tional championship stallion _stakes for three year old trotters at the Grand- Ctrcuit meeting here ‘today with Henry Todd, a youns horse that he bred, developed, trained and drove to Victory.. The prize was the largest Grand Circuit thus far this season and the largest yet offered by the American Association of Trotting Horse Breeders, under the auspices of Which ‘organization the race was ar- ranged. The winner received $5,092- .50 and the total stakes were $10,435. The race' was closely contested in Dboth heats, but the track was so slow that the colts could not trot within three or four seconds of their real capacity. Rusticoat, the colt that would have started favorite had there been any bookmaking or pool selling, was distanced in the first heat. The times of the heats were 2:115-4 and 2:121-2. Yedno, the Canadian pacer that won a sensational race at Montreal Grand Circuit meeting, could not last in the heavy going, and after win- ning two heats in_2:07 and 2:071-4 she was beaten off by the Indiana horse, Rastus, in the final heats and in_much slower time. Lon McDon- ald, who drove the winner, also won the Manhattan purse of $2,000 for 2:13 trotters with Laramie Lad. THIRTY-TWO SURVIVE ‘ SECOND ROUND Series of Sensational Matches at West Side Tennis Club. Forest Hills N. Y., Sept: 1.—Thirty- two representative tennis players from various parts of the country sur- vived the second round of the national FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS UNSETTLED. Opened Feverish, But Showed Gen- eral Improvement Later. New York, Sept. 1.—Widely diver- gent conditions helped to unsettle to- day’s market and kept it in a state of ferment: during the early session, with general “improvement later. ~ Further debasement of British, French and TMalian exchanges to the lowest quota- tions ever officially recordéd, was counterbalanced, in the speculative mind, by the news that Germany had complied with this country’s protests to the extent of abandoning her policy of marine warfare. This added e dence of Germany's counciliatory atti- tude seemed the more important fact- or and was followed by a sharp re- bound of prices. In banking circles, however, there was no disposition to minimize the ef- fect of the increased Mlemoralization in international credits. Demand bills on London fell to 450, an overnight loss of 5 1-4 cents, and Paris_checks at 6.09 represented a loss of 5 cents, or 4 cents under any rate hitherto quot- ed, while lires at 6.59 fell 5 cents under all-previous rates. In the afternoon matked improvement . was noted, sterling actually recovering in full at one time, while francs regained § cents to 6.01. Italian exchange hard- ened in sympathy, but the day’s devel- opments offered fresh proof of the im- mediate need for remedial measures. There was a marked increase of bond and stock sales for foreign accounts, this factor being logically in keeping with the irternational situation. Open selling embraced some of the inactive high grade railway bondd so exten- sively held abroad. According to circumstancial reports, large amounts of these and similar ‘American securi- ties have recently been absorbed here at private sale. Except for the first hour, when prices were tending downward, and-in the final Qealings, which witnessed anoth- er meteoric rise in motors and kin- dred issues, trading was light and de- void of actual significance. Railroad shares derived fresh stimulus from favorable statements of earnings and the specialties rose on a mixture of war order rumors, together with man- ipulation. - General Motors gained 21 1-4 to 240 1-2, a new record; Willys- Overland 8 to 188, Crucible Steel 9 1-4 to 94 and Studebaker 4 3-4 to 113 1-2. United States Steel sold up to 75 3-4, two points over its early low. Total sales amounted to 678,000 shares. Bonds were irregular, due largely to the heavy foreign offerings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3.755,000. Tnited States Bonds unchenged on call, ‘STocks, Satca 1600 Alackn_ Gold 3t . 2200 Allfs-Chelmers . 400 Allis-Chalmers pr. 2090 Am _Ag. Chem. 515 Am.

Braves and Red Sox Make Banner Showings in Their Respective Leagues, While Phillies Remain at Top. The beginning of another week of play in the two major leagues finds the first division clubs in each circuit in the same relative positions as a ‘week ago, with surprisingly small changes in percentage.. The Boston Braves in the National league and the Boston Red Sox in the American have respectively made the best showings in their circuits, with the difference that the American league represen tives already were at the top and have maintained their position, while the world's champions are playing an up- hill game and still have some distance to go before reaching - the altitude of their ambitios. While it must be, ‘conceded that Stallings' men are & fine fight, the ground-they gained on the Phila- delphia’ leaders during . the period was sa inconsequential that was the showing of the equally ambi- tious Brooklyns. Thelir even break in eight games cost them a few percent- age points, and yesterday they were further away from the leaders than they were last Sunday, while the Bos- tons, in third place, are appreciably nearer to the second position holders. The Phillies, with five games won and two lost, made their gain at the ex- pense of the Cincinnatis, from whom they took four straight games. These more than made up for the two out of three they dropped to Chicago early in the week. . The Brooklyns were playing much stronger ball as the week closed than when it began, for they lost three straight to the Reds to start with, but divided the series with St. Louis and obtained an even break on the week by taking a douBle header from the Pirates Saturday. Neither Chicago, Pittsburgh nor New York did anything noteworthy, the Pi- rates’ showing being the poorest. New York as the week closed was showing more class than for some time with Mathewson pitching in his old form and Tesreau likewise displaying his erstwhile ability to hold opposing bats- men in check. St. Louis played the best ball of any of the second division clubs and moved up to fifth place by taking three straight from New York and then splitting even in four games with Brooklyn. The Reds, after a long streak of fine playing, struck a snag when they met the Phillies and failed to score a victory in the Quaker City. In the American League. In the American league the Bostons bearded the Detroit Tigers in their den and took the honors in an exciting three game series, one of the contests running to 12 and another to 13 in- nings. Moving on to Cleveland, the Red Sox met with a setback Friday. but more than made this good Satur day by taking a double header from the Indians, and topped off the series with a Sunday victory by 1 to 0 in which Leonard starred. They are playing their prettiest to hold their lead while on the road. counting on their season- end stand at Fenway park to enable them to hold the advantage thus gain- ed over their western rivals, who -will be obliged to play away from home through the final stages of the race. The Tigers partly made up for their reversal at the hands of the Red Sox by taking four out of five games from the New Yorks. They lost instead of gained ground during the week, how- ever, but are still well ‘ahead of the Chicago team, which found New York easy but had a hard struggle with ‘Washington, who won two out of three games from Rowland’s men, all of the games with the Nationals running into extra innings. The White Sox were set back by the Athletics on Saturday, an: although they won their Sunday gam with the Mackmen, they are not muc’ nearer to second place than they wer a week 8go. The Washingtons won the majorit: of their games, while New York lost & out of 11 played, including Sunday's game, despite the fact that they went through six consecutive games without making an error. Cleveland and Phil- adelphia continue to lose ‘with their usual regularity, while St. Louis, al- though getting better than an even break, failed to pull up appreciably. Four Teams Well Up in Federal Pittsburgh, Newark, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are still in the hunt in the Federal lcague race, with hardly more than 30 percentage points separating the first club from the fifth. Pittsburgh, although defeated by Chi- cago in one of Sunday's games and go- ing to a 0 to 0 tie in the other, still holds the lead by a narrow margin with- Newark second and Chicago and St. Louis tied for third place. POLO A FAMILY AFFAIR. Many Leading Players Inherit Their Ability. “Blood will tell” is an old axiom which seems to run true to form when tracing the influences of heredity in relation to the game of polo. This is proved by the fact that many of our best polo players either inherit their ability in this direction or show by the preponderance of players of one kin that-the sport is apt to be a family matter. In speaking of this subject recently, Alfred Stoddardt, a Philadelphia ex- Dert, had this to say: “Those of us who can recall polo of a decade ago will remember with pleasure the playing of the late P. F. Collier on the same team with his son, Robert Colliers. The elder Collier must have been at that time well advanced in his 60's and by no means a light man. He was compelled to ride rather heavy ponies even for those days, when speed was not 8o essential is it is now. But the gameness waich he displayed always won for him the sympathy- and admiration of the “polo enthusiasts. Mention of the Colliers recalls t Gould family, George J. Gould and his GEORGE GREENBERGER & C0: 47-53 Franklin Strce two sons, Kingdon and , who frequently played with the Colliers. The Goulds are not active in polo now, although Georgian Court, the Gould estate at Lakewood, contains two Splendid polo fields, which provide practice ground earlier in the sépring than do any of the other northern fields, owing to the sandy nature of the Lakewood soil. It is on these fields that the preliminary practice for the international matches has always tak- en place. Another feature of the polo of the 90's was the playing of the Waterbury boys, as they were then called, Larry and Monte. The polo of these days, although much slower than the game of today, gave more opportunity, if possible, for the display of good team work, and in this respect the Water- burys were then unexcelled. Placed at Nos. and 3, the Waterburys would play into each other’s hamms, revolving like a wheel between their forward and back. However, the game has progressed, tand the Waterburys with it. As a famlly they have done the: share toward uphoiding the glory of Ameri- | can polo in- the international matches jat home and abroad. Another inter- national player, Devereux Miiburn, who has been said by authorities on both sides of the Atlantic to be the finest living polo player, has a brother com- ing on who blds to maintain the family traditions in this line of sport. In Philadelphia there are several families which have done their share | toward _perpetuating the game of polo. Charles E: Mather, who ‘always has been'a staunch friend to any sport in which Horses are concerned, was one of the players'of-the earlier period, and now he has two sons in the field. The elder, ‘Victor- Mather, for several sea- sons has helped the Bryn Mawr team to achieve -glory, while Gilbert, the younger son, is regarded as ene of the most promising of the younger play- ers. The Strawbridges, father and son, furnieh another examiple of family polo nd finished horsemanship. Robert E. ‘trawbridge must needs be a sports- :an, otherwise he would never have “hieved the honor of being selected as 1aster of one of the oldest and most clebrated of English hunts. Robert E. trawbridge, Jr., s still quite a lad, but bids fair to become a great player, and the work of father and son together, playing as Nos. 2 and 3 on the Phila- delphla Country club team, has at- tracted no little attention. DRIBBLE RULE UNIFORM. . /A. U. and College Basketball Are Now Alike. For the first time in tha his basketball the amateir and o rules for the game will be similar this year. During the winter the A. A, U officials held conferences and obtuined Ty "ot ent amateur basketball authorities as to their attitude toward uniform rules for collegians and the amateur fives Since that time George T. Hepburn has authorities, with the result that basketball rulgs. when issued mext month, will be.alike for A. A. U. teams and for the college fives. There were a number of different points on which the two sets of 5 differed, but the most important and troublesome was the dribbling ques- tion. There did not seem to be any common ground on which the two A Al U..men had taken place Mr. Hep- burn went over the matter with the collegiate committee. When Mr. Hep- burn and the college men had reached an agreement, a mall vote on the mat- ter was taken among the A, A. U. men ana it was decided tohave a uniform rule. The new uniform dribble rule in sub- stance follows: - Dribbling will be per- mitted, and at the end of the'dribble the player will be allowed to throw for goal and If he makes the goal it will count. Heretofore the mateur rules did not permit_the scoring of a goal after a dribble. but the amateur au- thorities have conceded this point to the college men, and in the future amo ateur teams will permit this stvlesf s 3 George T. Hepburn, Dr._C. Ward a consensus of opioion from the differ- | discussed the matter with collegiate | the | bodles could agree for this system of | play, but after the conferences of the | Crampton, secretary of the Pubie Schools Athletic league, and H. D Henschel of the Young Men's H association were appointed a commit. tee by Frederick Rublen, secretasy- treasurer of the Amateur Athletic ian, to conduct a-study of* the b ball question and if possible reach agreement with the college as to the uniformity of rules.’ committee held open meetings the winter and obtained the of different amateur and Y. M. C. authorities on the game. At these ferences the amateur men many changes which brought the ateur rules to practically the | working basis as the college rules. i But it was on the dribbling | that the men disagreed, and it was opinion of the amateur officials that dribbling rule made for an-individs stvle of play rather than for | work. and, further, that it tended make the rame rougher than it wof be without allowing the dribble. . meetings ended with the bedy, of ateur autho-ties deadlocked —om cuestion.
