Up to date he has re- fused to be quoted on the matter. Yesterday, at Upper Montclair, ‘Travers paired with the club pro- festonal, Willie Braid, for a best-ball tussle, but got the worst of the deal after thirty-six holes of exciting golf. The winners were William C. Reekie, the Lesley Cup veteran, and 8. M. Harding, and the score after the all- day battle was 1 up. In the morning round Travers Braid won the’ first two holes, and kept this advantage at the turn, since the other seven were halved. Reekie and Harding pulled together the inward journey, however, when thelr opponents faltered ever 80 slightly, and the rest for luncheon found all hands squared. Again In the afternoon it was nip and tuck. Each side won two holes, and they were all even at the turn, Coming in Reekie and Harding won the tenth, halved the next three, lost the fourteenth, to set the match all square once more, but when Travers needed six on the sixteenth, the Reekie-Harding best ball was five, and this tesulted in the deciding bole. Individually Reekie was low for the da His 73 for the morning round was the best single perform- ance. In the afternoon Reekie took 77, and Travers the same total. Travers had taken 76 in the morning. Brald went around in 78 in the morn- ing, but needéd 881 after lunch, and Harding had two rounds of 81 aoa sony Wins Harlem Tennis Cup Frederick C.

LENTY of good racing, in addi- tion to the thrills a Metropoli- tan Handicap always gives, is promised on the opening day's card at Belmont Park this afternoon. This will be the twenty-seventh running of the “Met,” but only a small field of six will face the barrier. Last night Sam Hildreth cast a shadow over the event by announcing that he had withdrawn Mad Hatter, winner of the Latonia Handicap last fall, and Purctase, regarded one of the best of last year’s three-year-olds, Both Purcbase and Mad Hatter worked out Saturday morning at Bel- mont, but both appe.red out of form when cooled out. However, the Hil- dreth stable has a worthy entry in Thunderclap, a four-year-old, who proved last fall that he classes with the best of distance forses. He ran Saturday and it looks as though this was the race he was short to fit him for to-day. Star Master, who fin’ ' ed third last year, and who has been getting in condition by racing at Maryland tracks, will be one of the public choices. Billy Kelly, Wild Air and Dr, Clark, the Whitney pair, are tn light, while Corn Tassel, ‘nlso of the Hildreth sta- ble, will complete the field. Racegoers, excepting the few who at- tended the meeting of the United Hunts at the Terminal on Saturday, will have at steeplechasing in York Steeplechase, for four- yeer-olds and upward, at about two miles, has attracted only five jumpers overnight, but for all that It should be a good race.

LOULS, May 24.—The Cardinals concentrated their attack in two in- nings yesterday to beat the Giants in the second game of the series. The score was 6 to 4, Hornsby’s titanic triple through left centre with the bases full in the third inning was the turning point of the game. The Gants were lading, 2 to 0, when Rogers in- serted his blow, whicli scored three runs. nd he counted a moment later on Fournier's infleld out Making thetr tirst appourance of the season at Ebbets Field, the league- leading Pirates humbled the Pobins by @ acore of 1 to 0 before 17,000 shiv- ering fans yesterday afternoon. Jeff Pfeffer had the misfortune to graze George Whitted’s cap with the ball in the ninth inping and later the third baseman pranced over the plate with the only run of the game on Joe Grimm's smash over Chuck Ward's head.

From the club of the decrepit, dying Babe the ball went up and up and up and sti up. It was 100 feet in the air at least as it boomed over the roof of the right grand stand be- tween the second and third flagposts It boiled completely over the stand and just where it landed on the other side I can’t tell, for a bunch of kids in the lot neighboring the Polo Grounds put up a hot scrap for the bulb, I afterward learned. and did an Arnstein with it. But beside me in the press box eat John B.

Certainly Tnever saw the beat of it myself, and the curly chestnut thatch that was mother’s joy has been missing from my roof these many a day. Wellman, the Boy nt of the Browns, was doing the serving, thank | you, when the Babe plopped forth his modest little bunt, The young Lean- ing Tower of Pisa had bean chucking good, swift and Neady ball. But, like a)i of ‘em, he was irying to hold the Babo down by putting his shots close to the body and near the waist line, hoping that when the, King swung his sceptre the ball would coo- nect close to the handle and an infleld crack would be the wenk result, But the Babe has a way of judging them accurately about twenty feat before they come across. And he don’t exact- ly stand in one spot. For this one he took a short, quick, backward pace— rted for the fence, took another look, stopped and began to scratch his ear. Our star invalid not only made the star hit of all hits, but it bad the additional importance of being te game winner. So you can imagine how the big Sunday crowd made the welkin ring till the old welk cracked. Gents were hugging one another and some their girls in the grand stand Other gents scaled their hats into the fleld—rand new sraw kellies as we!) as black derbles such as a man might easily be careless with this time o’ year. The full impact of the roar met the Babe as he trotted across the plate just behind Wallie Pipp. He tried to carry it off with nonchalance. But the heart of the Babe is too much the heart of a boy to pull any of that difference, He suddenly yanked off his cap and his good natured map broke into a grin so wide I got scared for fear his ears'd fall in. And make believe the cheering didn't hit the high notea then, Yep—the homer meant The wallop punched our score up to 3 from 1, as against the Brownies’ 2 It came in the sf&kth, And so the score stayed 10 the end.
