Chicago, Sept. 14.—Tom McNamara, of New York, champion in 1914 and Walter Hagen of Rochester, N. Y., present title holder, today shared the honor of low score for the second 18 holes of the western open golf cham- pionship, each taking 70 'strokes. This score was not, good enough to take the lead from James M. Barnes of Phila- delphia, who today added 71. strokes to hes record, 67 yesterday and top- ped the field with 138 at the half way mark, as compared to 144 for Hagen and i49 for McNamara. Jock Hutchinson, with 71 strokes today, held second place with a total of 141 among the 69 who qualified for the final 36 holes tomorrow. Haven's score. jumped him into third place, while Fred McLeod of Washington, with 72 today, gained fourth place with 145. Frank Adams of Beverly Club, Chi- cago; M. J. Brady of Boston and James Donals of Glenview are tied fod fifth place with 146 each. One stroke behind were Jack Burgess of Washinigton and Peter O'Hara of Pittsburgh. One stroke further be- hind were R. H. Craigs of Louisville, Gil Nicholls of New York: James Simpson of Milwaukee and Georse Simpson of Chicago.- Ashland vs. Netseco Team. Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon the Ashland baseball club plays the New London Ship & Bngine Co. team in the last game of thelr series. Each team has won one. Both teams are confident of winning and something unusual in the baseball line is antici- pated by the local fans. New Lon- don is coming up strong and as yet have not announced théir pitcher but it is rumored that Curran of the East- ern League will oppose the locals. Be. cause of injuries received In last Sat- urday’s game Shawn, the local catcher, will probably be out of the game for the remainder of the season. How- ever, Manager Carpenter of the Ash- land club has obtaiend the services of Chase of the State Hospital to catch the remaining games of the season. Van Dyke of Worcester will be on the mound for the locals and with this battery the local boys have high hopes of winning. N&xt week the Eagles of .Hartford are visitors here and for the following week Manager Carpenter is trying to MARKET WAS BUOYANT. Advance in Prices Ranged From One to Three Points. New TYork, Sept. 14—A broad and vigorous upturn in stocks today offset in part the losses gustained in the last few days. At the fop prices ther\s was a representative showing of advances ranging from one to three points, al- though these gains were scaled down on late realizing the net result was a material improvement of position. To- tal sales were 415,000 shares. The advance was accompanied by a revival of bullish. interest, and out- side buying inceeased considerably. There was some feeling that the bears had over-reached their recent at. tacks on speculative favorites, and the scarcity of these stocks forced the shorts to raise. their bids rapidly to imeet their requirements. Liquida- tion of investment shares was sus- pended and issues which have devel- joped marked weakness recently.were prominent in the rise. The upward swing was facilitated by the announcement from Petrograd that the insurrectionary - movement had been mastered by the provisional government. In the exchanze mar- ket rubles responded strongly. The rate was advanced to 17 cents, .as compared with the recent low record of 11 1-4. In the railroad list New Haven, con- spicuously heavy recently, was sold at an advance of more than two points. Reading, Delaware and Hud- son, St. Paul, Canadian Pacific and other weak features were in good de- mand at higher prices. In the in- dustrial section there was an active inquiry for the coppers, steels, ofls, motors,equipments and shipping shar- es. A decidedly better tone prevailed in the bond market. Active issues av- eraged higher, although the bid and asked quofations for some of the- less prominens liens continued to be wide apart. Liberty bonds reflected a brisk investment demand, with large trans- actions at par after earlier sales at 99.94. Total .sales of bonds (par value) $3,550,090. U.

Most Important Wil versaticn Between Teammates. Eliminate Con- Substitute and Minor in character are the few ~hanges in the football rules this year, and they may be told in a few para- graphe. Perhaps the most important is one taat prevents zn incoming sub- stitute from communicatirg with any of his team on the fleld until after the first pla, This is -intended to bar as much as possible the advice of a coach while the teams are in play and when the situation is a eritical one for either side. The new rule, however, has its exceptioa, for :f the substitute replaces 1he quaretrback he is permitted to give his signal. Irterference with a man attempting to catch a forward pass has been changed to the loss cf the ball to the offended sidc at the spot of the foul. Tuis replaces tne penalty which cost the offending side a certain dis- tance tyward its own goal line. The penalties for running into or roughing the kicker are now measured from the spot_where the ball was put in play. A place kick has been more clearly defined. It must be made by kickimg the ball from its posi‘ion twhen resting on the ground. A player may scrape up the earth but may not make use of artificial tees. On kick-offz and free kicks not made from scemmage the players' may be in motion in any di- rection, provided they are on-side when the ball is kicked. % Provision is made that an’ uncom- pleted pass does not constitute a foul, which makes it possible to decline any penalty. ] BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.

To- nisht New York had a lead of ten games over Philadelphia in the race for the nationai pennant, with St Louis in third place, virtualiy out of it. Both league leaders will close the season on the roaud beginning the concluding intersectional clashés this week. New York finishes at Phila- delphia October 4 and Chicago at New York on October 1. Chicago has been playing bctter baseball the past two weeks. In theis Jast sixteen games the White Sox have met defeat only once and have now won eight straight games. The | Giants in_the same period won eight games and lost six, The Boston Amer- icans won eight and lost four and Philadelphia, second piace holder in the National, broke even in sixteen games. American League leaders started the past week by taking four straight from Detroit. St Louis was next defeated twice. Cleveland met the White Sox Saturday and fell 2 to 9. Today’s game was forfeited to the aders in the tenth Inning. The White Sox last week outscored tkeir | opponents by two to one,.making runs on 72 hits.

By its_victory Chicago went to a tie with Cincinnati for fourth place. EVERY TRAP CHAMPION SOULD COMPETE FOR NATIONAL TITLE State Association Should See to It That One of the Two Eligibles Rep- resent Their Trapshooters. By Peter P. Carney, b Editor National Sports Syndicate. | Every State Trapshooting Associa- tion should make it a part of its busi- ness to see that the winner, or the runner-up of its championship partici- pates in the National Amateur Trap- shooting Championship event, which takes place in- ccnjunction with the Grand American Trapshooting tour- nament. This championship event is for the champions of every state, and in case the champion cannot attend the run- ner-up is eligible. Therefore, one of the two trapshooters who won the right to represent the state in the National Championship competition, should be on hand and rewresent the state to the best of his ability In this yvear's championship event Louisiana, Maine, New mpshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina and | Ttah were not represented. The rep- | resentation this year, however, was greater than in any.of the four years | the championship race has been held. Forty-one states, including the United | States navy, answered the call. This | event to the minds of the shooters is the most important one of the week's program. i Last vear 37 states were represented | in St. Louis, with Delaware, Minne- | sota, New Hampshire, Florida, Miss! sippi, Oregon, Maine and Virzinia zmong the missing. In Chicago i- 1515, and in Dayton in 1914, thirty-five states were represented. A. E. Ran- dall has won the championship of Maine for three successive vears, vet has never competed for the national championship title. He owes it to his state to participate for the National Championship event, as do the winners | of each of the other state champion- | ship titles. The Interstate Association contrib- utes $50 towards the expenses of ev- ery state champion that attends the Grand American and shoots in the National Amateur Championship event. It ig an event in which every one cannot compete in; an event in | which some shooters would give their last drop of blood to participate in, vet there are state champions who Pass up the race vear after year. | State associations should make ev- | ery effort to have representation in the national event, the trapshooters of their state deserve it. OWNER OF MURLINS READY TO SELL Reports From Other Cities Indicate That No Magnates®Had Successful Season. life of a minor league baseball a bed of roses. No, one realizes this any better than James Collins, president of the, New Haven club, which showed the | way in the Fastern league during the seagon just closed.

Consequently there is an op- portunity for some enterprising pro- moter to take the club off Collins' hands and make it a money-getter a vear hence. That is, if he can. The opinion has been prevalent in sporting circles that Collins reaped a Larrel of dough through his baseball venture. Those not thoroughly famil- iar with ~ conditions have enter- tained the idea that Collins could mot help but derive a big financial har- vest by reason of a pennant winner. But the real truth is that Collins did not malke money and furthermore he had a desperate struggle to make ends meet. Collins’ fate is one of the real, tragedies of s New Have base- ball. . According to reliable. reports from other Eastern league cities, there was not a single club’ which managed to wind up the season a few dollars to the good. Such cities as Bridgeport, Lawrence, New London and Portland poured considerable money into base- ball but failed to sget any returns Hartford and Springfield lost heav- ily while Worcester got no better than an even break. Poar weather and the heavy expenses entailed in railroad fazes and hotel rent ate up a whole Iot of, money which tame through the box office. The failure of the Eastern league stands out as another victory for Jim O’Rourke. O’Rourke maintained right along that the merging of the Eastern and New England leagues spell disaster and now the magnates are back in the same fix they were two years ago. During the past season the fans have been treated to thé best baseball in several years, but the magnates can- not be ‘expvcted to allow things to run along if they are nos to receive some return for their investment, would eventually or two captured in matter what happens, lins, wili not offer for the purchase of the club.
