Bracco ti titi MISS LOUNSBERRY WINS AT GOLF OVER MRS. GAVIN.

Alu Miss’ Lounabe: deserves full credit for her consistent. game, it was Mrs. Gavin who played the best golf after she once got under way. The one-time metropolitan champion started out with a six on the first hole, then, to make matters worse, took an elghi on the second, After this discour- a En she settled down and played pxceptlonally ‘well. ” Miss Lounsberry, The New York team by this defeat Jost all the ground it gained by one victory over Cincinnati, The Reds won and jumped a little further ahead in the race. The playing of the New Yorkers was not impressive, and un-~ less an immediate change is manifest they are going to return home In sec- ond place.

BIT ‘Yank Owners Await Action of Their Lawyers While Johnson Disappears Ban Didn’t Need to Fear Pro- cess Servers as No Papers Are Ready Yet in Famous Pitcher Mays Case. By Bozeman Bulger. AN JOHNSON has made a well covered withdrawal in the face | Yanks of local fire, but that will in no way tangle up legal proceedings that are forming to put Carl Mays in the The | pitcher's box at the Polo Grounds. The retreat of the former Czar was accomplished by the ald of @ trick the | elevator and a cellar door, we were told, and last night the Yank owners stopped war long enough to have a good laugh at what they termed an unnecessary precaution. It Is reported that Johnson was un- der the impression that process serv- ers were waiting to serve papers on him. As a matter of fact no papers were ready and the legal fight can go right ahead regardjess of the presence of the American League President, He went to Chicago, his headquarters. In the mean time the Yank forces are marking time, awaiting orders from their lawyers. As Col. Huston ex- pressed it: “We are just getting into this fight good and you can bet it’s going to 4 finish.” Col. Ruppert, as President of the New York club, gave out a statement last night categorically denying tho one given out by Mr, Johnson yester- day morning. It appears elsewhere, In this statement the Colonel does not use the direct ugly word, but he comes so near to it that nobody can be fooled, For instance, he says: “Mr. Johnson's statement that Col. Huston told him that New York would not negotiate for Mays ig not true and is absolutely without foun- dation.” But we've got to play baseball to- day and wait a little longer for the climax to this wrangle which has stirred the whole league, The St. Louls Browns are here and would have played yesterday but for the rain. It was at first intended to have a double-header to-day, but Business Manager Harry Sparrow and Manager Huggins discovered that Friday is an open date, and the postponed game will be played then. The Browns have been almost for- gottén in the hot stretch finish be- tween White Sox, Indians and Yanks. Just look around, though, and you'll see these Browns right on our heels. It is possible for them to supplant the Yanks in third plave before the end of the three-game series, ‘The loss of Carl Mays is a serious handicap to the Yanks right now, as they had counted on him for the com- ing series with St. Louis and also Cleveland. The Yank owners must have quick relief from Ban Johnson's now famous suspension of this pitcher or it will be of no use. A long legal fight would work a great hardship on Mays as well as the club, Do you realize that there are but eight weeks left of the season? Bill Donovan was over in town yesterday and wants to know some- thing about this new Yank pitcher Marlo De Vitalis, Some one present knew all about the young man and j brought out the information that he jwee not only a crack baseball pitcher at Brown University but was just good as a football player. De as Vitalis went to Plattsburgh, became (Copyrighted 1910,"by Al Muare Bilas.) an officer and served in France, Hug- gins says he has curve ball, and is Hi the way, Wild Bill” Donovan’ A came uite a “hook”—« of confidence. is laying for are a good club on which to get a start.” “No,” remarked Huggins. “I reckon Bill hasn't got any time to fool with beginners over there in Jersey City.” Harry Edwards, the noted scribe from Cleveland, caught a 56 o'clock in the morning train and came all the for the benefit of the Cleveland pub- le. When he got here Ban was pass- ing Albany and running easy, Harry says the Cleveland people are almost as much interested in this Mays matter as are the Yanks. Despite tg ge knocks levelled now drawing record crowds. All of sudden the famous team appears come back into its old popu- phat ay Many Stars in Action To-Day at Siwanoy for the Vic- tory Cup. 4 By William Abbott. HE first competition for the Vic- tory Cup gets under way to- day on the Siwanoy links. A field of 116 stars that includes Jerry Travers, Oswald Kirkby, Gardiner White, Reggie Lewis, Jess Sweeteer and John Anderson will swing around the Mount Vernon odurse in quest of the handsome trophy donated by Rodman Wanamaker that must be won three times before becoming the rmanent property of any one. arty had been hoped that Chick vans and Francis Ouimet would be on the job at Silwanoy, but these two young hustling bond salesmen found at the last minute that business was too lively for them to golf this week. Bobby Jones, the young Atlanta prod- igy, was expected to turn up in time for the qualifying round, although no word had been received, as Bobby is “lost” somewhere between here and Canada, where the youngster com- peted in the international matches a few di ago. ‘To-day’s qualifying round will be shteen holes, Thirty-two will qual- ity for the Victory Cup, while three sixteens will be made up for which various prizes are offered. Match lay rounds will be eighteen holes, The finals Saturday in all divisions will be thirty-six holes. At what age is a golfer at-his best? The feat of Jerry Travers, who at thirty-two is attempting a come- back on the links, shows there's a wide difference in the ages when American and English champions reach their prime. Golt, like other sports on this side of the Atlantic, demands more physi- cal energy and more competition stamina compared to English stand- ards. For a long period im interna- tional tournaments American ath- letes have been much younger than their English adversaries, ¢Glancing back on our golf records, the national amateur champtonship for twelve years hae been won by plagers under Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co.

He kept the local team’s five hits scattered.

Mrs. Elizabeth Fenno-and Rudolph Kissel jr. won the mixed doubles in thirty years with but two exceptions —in 1910 when Bill Fownes won and in 1911 when Harold Hilton of Eng- land reeled off his famous rock shot at Apawamis and defeated Fred Herreshoff in an extra-hole match. Jerry Travers, who tured the amateur title four times, was only twenty-one when he first beat the field for the big trophy. Francis Ouimet was twenty when he annexed the amateur title after winning the open championship in 1913. Chick Bvans, who had somewhat of a 4 layed start winning a national chai plonship, is now only twenty-nine. Walter Hagen, holder of the open championship, is now twenty-six, and one could move down the list | and see that the ages of most of the \leading American players are far short of the thirty-year mark, On the other side conditions are jast the reverse. Recent ameteur title holders, J. L. quite a little way beyond ti ielass. And the great English pro- jfessionals, Harry ion, James Braid and J, H.

There'll be a for- midable field competing on the Long Island links notwithstanding the big conflict up at Siwanoy, Gardiner White has been “on” bis game about all season, winning in some tournaments and flashing in others, Only this week he won the championship at Nassau, nis home jelub, and at the same time lowered the record for the course to 67, one stroke under the previous mark held by James Maiden, Nassau's profes- sional.
