It must be charitably confes-* that Luck Hour’s speed improved very much more over the winter than Shuttinge:’s riding has. Old students have come to the eon- clusion that the best reason for the comparative shortness of prices paid on favorites at Havre de Grace is due to the absence of the approximate odds board, which serves the prospective bettor so well at the other tracks. “They're either very, very short or outlandishly long here at Hayre,” ex- plains one veteran.’ The public fol- lows the comeback money and backs one particular horse into ridiculously strong favoritism.

At no time did the visitors have any chance against the well trained metropolitan machine. At hnif tlme the New York- ere were leading by 4 to 0, but in the sevond period the victors let down a bit and permitted two points to be scored against them. ‘The first goal was scored within ten minutes from the start when # fine drive by A. Stark lodged in the Balti- more net. Duggan with @ well aimed shot from the right wing increased New York's lead to two points and Hardy, the inside left, made it three straight soon after. Bhortly before half time, Centre Forward Burnett gave New i, & commanding advantage by to 0. Another goal was placed {n the New York column by Herd after the restart before Baltimore was able to tally {rom a penalty, which was taken by Horne. Burnett then shot another for New York and Dixon put through Baltimore's second goal with five minutes to go. ——p»— Baseball Statistics jor Leagues The week's record in each .eague of games played, won and lost, with rung, hits, errors, and men left on bases, including games of Saturday, is as follows: AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Amertean golf, amateur and profes- sional, is ruled by six players, al- though new recruits are reporting on the links by the thousands and many young ‘phenoms’’ already have ap- peared over the horizon, Byery sec- tion of the country has many more courses and many more players, but the influx of new talent will handily disturb the grip Chick Evans, Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones amateur honors, Even more powerful than this trio in the professional ranks are the familiar names of Jim Barnes, Walter Hagen and Jock Hutchison is the most uncertain of all sports. A six-inch putt may decide a championship, but this year the same as in past seasons the old monopoly should hold back the pack that ad mittedly is getting stronger, Lining up Evans, Oulmet and Jones to win the lion's share of laurels this year makes no provision for Jesse Guilford, present holder of the ama- teur title. Guilford is a dangerous performer in a tournament, but it is our guess the Boston Stege Gun won't come near repeating next September, when the national tournament is played at Brookline over a cours where he knows every blade of grass Big Jesse is a fine golfer, make no mistake about that, He is a trom dous driver, probably only Jones and Bob Gardner are longer, Guilford |s accurate with his irons and a fair WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va, April 24.—A perfect day smiled on the brilliant gallery surrounding the courts for the finals in the three honors were well divided yesterday, no player winning laurels in more than one event. Frank T. Hunter, of New Rochelle, won the men’s singles; BR. B, Bidwell and J. Wheelwright won the men’s doubles, and S. Howard Voshell and Mrs. B. F. Briggs, of Pel- ham, won the mixed doubles. In defeating C, C. Shafer tor the men'g singles title, Hunter played a back court hard-driving game. Shat- er’s steady, plugging game is always hard to beat, and he made Hunter go the limit to win, Both players were weak on their services, Hunter losing fifteen out of twenty-cight, and Shafer losing seventeen out of the same number. Hunter was the aggressor all the way, if there was any aggression, for both players played a sate game through the full five pets. Scores; 6—4, 6—2, 19, b—7, 6—-4 Although Bidwell and Wheelwright won the doubles finals in straight ets, they were pushed all the way, ‘The match brought out the fastest and most spectacular tennis of the tournamen: and had the gallery con- stantly applauding. Hunter and Bid- dle were at all times within striking distance, so that Wheelwright and Bidwell had no chance to let down. The scores: 8—6, 6—4, 7—5.

Guilford won the 1921 trophy at the St. Louis Country Club under eondi- tions that were made to order for him. During most of the tournament it rained and a heavy course is a big advantage to a player who hits as far as Guilford, Evans, who defended the title, Ouimet and Jones were all pres- ent at St. Louis, but their elimination was brought about by unusual causes. In the late rounds Jones, youthful sensation of the South, appeared the logical winner of the champlonship only to encounter Willie Hunter, Hng- lish title holder, who won from Jones tn a thirty-six hole match that would never again haye the same ending if the two stars could have playing con ditions that lasted for thetr clash is Ht.

Evans ig still a young man, but a veteran in point of golf competition Chick had an off year in 1921, mainly the result of playing too much. His shots were as nicely played as ever, but the directing power behind thy stroking Was not up to standard. It is frequently said that Evans is going and that he will continue to be of a champlonship contender. is is the bunk, The Chicagoan's me is constructed on sound mechan~ teal foundation, with the exception of occasional putting weakness, Hvans is not the longest driver in the United States, but what he loses in distance be makes up jn direction, a formula that's been # successful with Harry Vardon, who won more titles in Great Britain than any other English star, Playing through the green Evans has no superior in this vuntry, either amateur or profes- sional. It is a curious thing that when professionals slump in thelr iron work and search around for a remedy they usually hop to where Evans may be playing and closely watch Chick piteh the little white ball up to the pin with lis mashie with the same ease that a cue artist would make a billiard.
