OW it’s to be “night golf.” ‘There will be a regular four some played on the new links of the old Rip Van Winkle Club at Palenville, Greene County, the eve- ning of July 4, irrespective of what the moon does that particular night or whether lightning bugs come down \trom the adjacent mountain, The trivial matter of illumination will all be provided for, It’s to be entirely artificial. It is not clear as yet whether the Palenville Club was actuated from motives to do something original in golf when it started preparations for the first wight tournament ever | playea or whether it was simply doing its bit to correct the drowsy reputa- tion held by the Catskill district ever since Old Boy Rip pulled his long forty winks, Anyway, the idea of night golf first hit Willard Holcomb, President of the Rip Van Winkle Club, who immediately began shoot- ing out questionnaires requesting in- mcr Ware if the stunt could be really Ona wae. socrener t0 {28 |’ tals Company inquiring it Theandewcsot golf balls could ‘The answer was favoPabie x ye proposition.

The four players who ‘wu particl- pate in the match have not been se- lected, but nocturnal experience in any line will have no bearing on the final’ choice. The grounds of the Rip Van Winkle Club are to the lee of the Catskills. While this barrier shields the links from strong winds which come down from the Kaaterskill Clove it also tends to screen out the fading sun- light, Accordingly, the foursome will start early in the evening and will be followed by a mammoth search- light. The golf balls, incandescent, you remember, will be properly num- bered so they can be located and identified by the caddies outside the range of the searchlight. The flags on the greens will be replaced by lanterns and the caddies will be equipped with fencing masks and da. Piphis arrangement seems quite nifty, but why depend entirely on Mghts? Why not equip the balls with little sound buoys that would quickly an- when driven off the line? Such an appliance would make night golf as logical as playing the old Scotch game on an iceberg. ‘The tournament committee of the Shackamaxon Country Club an- nounces the first junior fourball match to be contested over the Shackamaxon links next Sunday, The principals will be A.

Johnny Wilson of Boston, the new middleweight champion, has just been offered a guarantee of $10,000 to meet Champion Jack Britton, the welter- weight champion, in a twelve-round no-decision bout at an open air box- ing show to be staged by Mike Mc- Kinney, the fight promoter of Can- ton, O,, and to be held at a paseball park in that city on the afternoon of July 5.

LADIATOR, ao well named three-year-old son of Super- man, owned by the Red Stone Stable, whoever that is, and trained by Willie Booth, may be a real good colt, but he will have to prove it under conditions other than those which attended his winning of the Southampton Handicap at Jamaica yesterday. In the first placé, he ran against Krewer, a colt which was plainly “short,” and Sea Mint, which after being practically left at the post, carried part of the webbing from the barrier all the way around the track and finished with it King Albert never figured in the so that An- niversary, the only other starter, after being outrun, was along in time to beat Krewer out of the place money. Krewer went out in the lead and galloped along as far as his condi- tion permitted him to go, which was just about to the stretch turn. At this point Gladiator, who was always second and within striking distance, moved to the front with a frictionless stride and never afterward was both- ered. Had Krewer been in racing trim the result might have been dif- ferent, and had Sea Mint been away with his company and without part of the barrier dangling from his “tack” one can only surmise what might have happened. However, it was no fault of Giad- jator that Krewer wasn't “ready” or that Kummer on Sea Mint failed to get away and leave the barrier be- hind him, still it takes away the lustre of Gladiator’ victory. He may have won in much the same way had everything been equal, but we will have to wait and see him run again to know just how good he is. Gladiator is an extraordinarily bi¢ colt, one which looked rather too high and rangy in the paddock to be a good horse, but just the same he did all | that was expected of him and did it with ease and gracefulness. H. Guy Bidwell saddled what may | prove herself to be quite a capable | filly in the maiden two-year-old event, fifth on the card. She followed the pace of James Butler's Foam un- til well into the stretch, where there was a general closing up out of which she jumped and won going away. Head Over Heels made her three- year-old debut in the opening race at six furlongs. While she looked the “class,” many hesitated to back her because of her well known habits of closing up in the stretch, as she often did in five and a half furlong races last year. If yesterday's perform- ance may be taken as a criterion, “Bud” May has taught her to stick this year, Instead of backing up, she imereased her lead with every stride yesterday and at the end was ten lengths in front of Phantom Fair. We are aware of the fact that Head Over Heels beat the barrier by about three lengths, but she would have won anyhow with an even break. She al- ways was quick-footed at the post and few of her own kind could ever outrum her to the three furlong pole. Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Blue Laddie came ik to the races in fine con- dition in the Clermont Handicap and just had to gallop to win. He made Feodor quit, which made it possible for Tom Monahan’s Royailieu to get the face money. THU \Gladiator Must Race Again) To Prove He Has ‘‘Class’’ JAMAICA SELECTIONS.
