ER SPORTING NEWS A FAVORITE OR TWO BOUND TO BE ELIMINATED TO-DAY Feature Match Will Bring Together Alexa Stirling and Mrs. F. . Du Bois on the Difficult Morris County Course. By William Abbgtt, T hopes. Hii secund und of the Women's Metropolitan golf champiouship to day over tie Morzis County course will surely spike several fond A fayortte or two are bound to be snuffed out because with ouly eight survivors the vpposition will tighten considerably. The feature mgtch will bring together Alexa Stirling, three times holder the national crown, who is @ompeting in her first Metropolitan tourna- tient, and Mrs. F. B. Du Bois, one of the most prominent players in this ‘istrict. \fford to experiment with such a dar s entered frpm the Baltusrol Club. So far the ladies’ heen free of startling upsets, except ov the unexpected defeat of Miss Nizabeth Wardin by Mrs. Irving Brown in the opening round. Miss Uardin tied wjth Mrs. H. A, Jackson for the medal with §8, and it was ‘igured she would gallop through the vorly rounds. Strangely enough, Mrs. Hrown before starting the journey of the hilly links told friends she'd by \tisfled merely to make a good show ing. She did thal, and then some Miss Hardin had trouble getting her It was a big +yersal trom ler game the previous ty, whieh ted for the lead. As Miss fardin continued to slip, Mrs. Brown ained confidence. While Miss Har- h insisted upon roaming all over he course and inspecting numerous ips and bunkers, Mrs. Brown con- trqiied her shorter shots and was ally rewarded by moving to thy lead It was mp the way. Miss Hardin a chance to sink a hort putt for a win on the eighteenth which would have squared the match, iut she killed the last remaining hance by missing the easy shot. So 1 happened that the first favorite re- Ured to the sidelines. Other first-round matches were de- ceded by form, and by a wide margin. lias Stirling, whom the gallery makes the prima donna of the golf show, isily disposed of Mys. J. J. Ander. on of Cherry Valiey. The two were wrtners for the qualifying test and ome from neighborhood clubs, Miss “thling entering from North Hemp- tead. It was very noticeable that Miss Stilipg frequeptiy congratulated her eppon’nt after making a good shot, lt evea this encouragement failed to make Mrs. Anderson a troublesome ival for (he Southern miss who oc- ipied tl, national throne so long. Perhaps it was because it wasn't necessary, or maybe her game isn't seared up as high as it might be, but ” uny event Miss Stirling so far in this tournament lacks the excellent n play that fcatured her golf sev- ral years ago. Time and again she Nets working smoothly and tuck all nessed up her mashie shots. On the eifth, for instance, where the green om tog of a mound, the former champion, from only a short distance way, failed to get hold of the ball roperly and it went sailing clear the green into a rear sandtrap. The recovery stroke led to escape and Miss Stirling conceded the hole. While it was evident Miss Stirling was not up to her best form through tie fairway, it was just as apparent ‘hat she didn’t permit these errors to unbalance her game. Almost every poor shot was quickly followed ‘y a great shot, which made the iverage pretty good. For one thing, too much is usu- wily expected from lady golfers. A stranger seeing Miss Stirling for the first time yesterday would prob- y wonder after watching her miss a shot or two how she ever hap- pened to win the national title on three different occasions. But the ame visitor would only need to etroll over the landscape to most any other mateh and he would probably see the same miscuing on possibly a little bigger scale. But despite errors, which pop up pn any form of golf competition, women players are eteadily improv- ng and scores made over such a difficult cotrse as Morris County ‘have been running uniformly low. Mrs. Du Bois, who tackles Miss Stirling to-day, made the best show- ng in the first round when she elim- ‘nated Kate Bowman, meanwhile playing at an 88 clip, A repetition of this model of golf will make things very bothersome for Miss stirling, FIRST ROUND.

Brown, Captain of the Dartmouth track team, has @ wrenched knee and as a@ re- sult those who know him expect to see him jump better than ever be- fore at the intercollegiate champion- ships at the Harvard Stadium Friday and Saturday. When Brown's physi- cal condition is good he jumps wel but when there is a little somethin, the matter with him he does better. With @ jumping toothache, as he called it, he equalled the world’s rec- ord indoors at 6 feet 4% inches at the Boston A. A, games lagt winter. With his back strapped up he went to New York later and set a new in- nor mark of 6 feet 4% inches at the intercollegiate indoor champlonshipa. Beeling fit physically, according to his own statement, he fell cft in his jumping form at the Pena relay games and lost to John Murphy of Notre Dame, unable to go higher than 6 feet 2 inches. Again in good shape physically, he fell far below his best jumping possibilities in the recent dual with Columbia. Now the word comes from Hanover that he has @ wrenched knee, and with it he jumped 6 feet 8 inches in an interclase meet a few days ago. If he should break a toe or an arm his friends would expect him to try to high jump over the bar used by pole Relay and Modo Furnished Racing Thrill of Season In Southampton Handicap Jockey Ponce Says He Out- gamed McAtee in Duel Through Stretch F far this season furnished ns many thrills as the Southamp- ton Handicap at Jamaica yesterday. Relay won it by a head from Modo after a drive through the stretch that had everybgdy at the track on his o1 her toes. It will ever be a question of debate by those who saw the race which was the better horse, or whether the real Issue was one be- tween jockeys Ponce and McAtec. Relay had the rail and set the pace, with Modo on the outside every step of the race. Had Modo been racing where Relay was he might have won easily, but at that he had no excuse after the pair rounded the stretch turn. Modo headed Relay at this stage, and it seemed as if all he had to do was come on when straightened out for the run home For a fraction of a second Modo did come on, and the hearts of the Relay rooters sank in their Relay was due to crack, jockey, Ponce, wasn't. He W races seen around 40 shoes but became very busy on the Quincy entry, and there ensued a battle of jocke; Ponce simply wouldn't surrender at Relay evidently was of a simil mind.

In the closest kind of a finish Relay’s head caug the judges’ first After the Jockey Ponce told George Qdom that Modo had him beaten three different times in the stretch, but that he had outgamed Modo's rider, Mcatec Thomas Fortune Ryan purchased the two-year-old fillies Runelise and Runetta direct from their breeder Adolph Spreckels, yesterday ui pri- vate terms. The former is a sister to Morvich, and it was only through a misunderstanding that she was not acquired at the sale of the Spreckels horses a few days ago. Although it was generally belleved at the time that Runelise had been bought for the account of Mr. Ryan, it was not until yesterday that she became his prop- erty. Runetta is by Runnymere out of Pourquoi by Star Sheet. The fillies will join the other horses of the Oak Ridge Stables at Belmont Park and will be prepared for their engage- ments by Johnny Loftus, Morvich got a hand both on his way to the post and after he had breezed a half mile in 48 seconds, and five fur- longs, pulling up, in 1.03. The first furlong was run in .11-3-5, the quarter in .28 1-5 and the three furlongs in .35 flat. The son of Rumnymede was anxious to run, the little puffs of dust rising in his wake as his proud feet MORVICH TO RACE IN “$40,000 LATONIA DERBY The unbeaten Morvich has ap excel- lent opportunity to close out his three- yedr-old campaign a greater money wigner than Man O' War, Indeed, he may pgsslbly beat the world's record for winning established years ago by Tain- sluss. After contesting the Dwyer at Aqueduct Morvich will be shipped to Kentucky for the Latonia Derby, a stake likely to net the winner between $80,000 and $40,000 prize money. The Latonia Derby will be run on July 1. Col.

He was turned over to Hildreth then, the understanding that he should have a half interest for tratning the son of Celt. It has been a fine arrangement for Mr, Clark as well as the trainer and it is going to take a smart sprinte, to take the measure of the big chest- nut in the Toboggan Handicap ut Belmont Park next week Relay should take the measure ¢ some of the so-called cracks in the three-year-old division before the sea- son is over, His race in the South- aimpton was one of the outstanding performances of the year, as he had Modo at his throat ail the way and forced to put up a sterling fight in order to win.
