The first score "as 9 to 3, while the second finished 4 to 8. + The excitement came in seventh stanaa of the last contest. Chicago Was leading the home talent by one fun. In Brooklyn's halt Krueger beat out an infield hit, Bernie Neiss was sent in to run for the Dodger catcher, Bernie went to second when Lamar, hitting for Cadore, was thrown out at first. Olson then’ hit a short single to right, and when Neiss endeavored to score Quigley called him out on Flack's throw home. Neiss was out # mile, but Manager Robinson and several other Dodgers rushed out of the dugout protesting to Quigley that Neias was sate. At this juncture several “bravo’ fans hidden among the crowd of 15,000 started throwing pop bottles at the umpire.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 12, HEER UP! There is atill bebe for racing’s future. The stew- ards here awakened, Last night they put Owner William Martin un- der investigation, following the race won by Camoufleur, and while, as usual, they would give nothing out, it 1s taken for granted that they are looking into the inconsistent running of the Western owner's hortes, Appronched for some information on the subject, one of the stewards brusquely waved aside questions, saying nothing had been done, But the imguisition will be continued, Little enlightenment as this was on & subject of importance to the pat- rona of racing, it showed that the officials fhave finaly become con- vinced that the public is in need of protection from the “sharpshooters.” Martin has been known for years past as an owner and trainer who wins with the horses whenever he wants to. orm cuts no figure with him and he makes few mistakes, The birds in the trees around the race track know that whenever Marfin starts a horse and the “checks” are down, It pays to string with him, Yesterday Martin sent Camoufleur to the post in the fifth race, and in no time it was gossiped around that he was “well meant.” ‘The fact that the horse had shown nothing previ- ously this year that would give him a Winning chance made no difference. He was backed with rare confidence at the track, and “wires went through the telegraph offices to yari- ous sections of the country advising @ play on him. ‘To the initiated he was “in.” The race proved that again Mar- tin had not erred. Camoufleur went to the front in the first sixteenth and stayed there, Reoount, the form horse of the race, tried ‘to run wit him, but at the end Camouflour went past the judges a good two lengths ahead of Recount, with the third horse, Dodge, twenty yarda back. Ap | form reversal {t was the limit, It is nothing new for Martin to b charged with Inconsistency, ‘This spring the in and out running of his Sack Stuart caused the banixhment of the horse from Louisville, and the ruling stil stands, ‘This was just shipping Fast, where at Belmont Park the same Jack Stuart went to post lame and ade a @how of a good field. ‘The horse had wrenched a plate loose during his warming up that day a limped painfully ‘back to the pad- dock, | Martin requested (permission to withdraw him, but the at after inspecting the horse, decided he ‘had to run, Considerable confusion followed what seemed a crue! ruling and there was # wild rush by those who had bet on the horse to hedge joff, Others who like to back “lame™ \horses hustled to get down on the = Wis. !

So perfect was Hutchison's game coming to the green that his score could have been three or four strokes lower but for shorteeasy putts that just wouldn't drop in, Hutchison's showing was the sensation of the two days of qualifying trials, The chief favorites in the tourna- ment, Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes, encountered stormy going to qual'ty, Hagen was way off form on the greens, a weakness that shot his score to 77 for a 156 total. Barnes lacked his usual fine direction through the fairways and occasionally had to re- cover from bunkers. ‘This weaxness, however, was partially balanced on the greens when the tall St, Louis crack reeled off some valuable long putts. Mike Brad¥, runner-up to Hagen at Brae Burn in 1919 for the National title, also had a tight squeeze, only a@ brilliant finish en- abling him to continue on in the championship, 3 Several otiher leading players were not so fortunate. Pat O'Hara, who came to the United States in the spring with the prestige of holding the championship of warring Ireland, could only register a total of 162, which was not even'close to the divid- ing line. Charles Hoffner, one of the best players in the Philadelphia dis- trict, and Emmet French, a con- sistent leader in tournaments, hoth fell victims to the hazards that fea- ture the Inverness course and were ousted right out of the party.

(Open Golf Champion.) TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 12.—Yesterday was a day of many unpleasant mo- ments to some woll known and ambi- tious golfers who had more or less worry about whether their score was going’ to be good enough to qualify them for the national open champlon- ship, Big Ted Ray was one that had cause for worry, but he came safely through and everyone was greatly pleased to see his recovery, Ted's fault on the first day was mainly in better than Ted has on this present tour and it seemed that there just had to be a slump, It is well that it came in the qualifying round instead of the championship round, The Englishman thought that he| would fot get in even after it was apparent that he had a safe margin. | |The margin was not quite as safe as we figured. I knew a great deal about his feeling because I was in the same boat and tied with him, There was Mike Brady, too, with us in-the 155 | mitch, just three strokes inside the| limit.

I don’t think any player would have been foolish enough to hold back, a» onee you try to play them safe your shots fail you. This would hayé been a dangerous proceeding in such fast company. I found a lot of trouble in my putt- ing yesterday which I managed tof stralghten out on the practice after I finished. At first I intended t get a new putter, but realized that the fault was not with the club after a little serious practice. I hope to have no more trouble in this line, but one never can tell, Missed putts was a favorite alibi yesterday and it was easy to do with- out much effort. Most of the players took the qualifying round too tndiffer- ‘ently, I did myself, and it came near being costly. Many youngsters were bound to get in and crowd out some of the favorites, However, the ordeal Is over and to- day ts another day. We will start to-day with a clean slate and ev2ryone 1s conscious of the fact that! every stroke will count. The amateur contingent is-etill going strong and may be heard from. Chick Evans and Bobby Jones are both strong contenders and if Tommy Ar- mour gets to playing his game the Soot may make it interesting for the leaders. I would suggest that where a fleld is as large as this one amateurs should haye places in addition to the sixty-four, Then an amateur would not take the place of some pro {n the line of qualifiers, It means more to a pro to qualify than it does to an ama- teur, who is often in just for the sport.
