YOUNG golf talent is budding thickest just now in the Mid die West. There's lots of room out in that part of the country to bat the ‘little white pill around, and evi @ently the kid« sre strong for the old Scottish sport. Every tournament re. gently furnished proof how the West is growing a big golf crop. o-day at Garden City the finalists for the annual intercollegiate golf title both hail from the farm belt—G. B. Beoor, from Toledo, and Albert Boyd, Q little further south in Tennessee. Not oniy do the two finalists hail from the, West, but most of the best play- @rs, who entered the college meet also residence out in that part of the itry. meeting of Boyd and Secor whites only after a long row of up- set, mostly administered by young Mister Secor. Boyd, holder of the Tennessee State championship, was a logical favorite right at the start. ig red-headed youth is a smooth Ing golfer and possesses the rare to make good shots in critical pinches. Any one can occasionally Fip"Off a good shot, but it takes nerve and'class to drop a mashie pitch dead tothe flag or run down a long putt when a miss would be fatal. ‘Boyd won both his matches yester- day in convincing style, defeating James Ward, Williams, in the third Found and G. Williams, Harvard, in me margin. «Boyd, Dartmouth, ‘was forced to overcome an early lead to ‘stop ‘his Harvard opponent. Yet when Boyd finally got his strokes there really wasn't anything the match. 8 coming through was the farprise of the tournament. He is a tall lad from Toledo, not possessed ‘with exceptional golf form, but never- he manages to get jults. Bést'of all Secor has unlimited nerve. No matter how strong his opponent may go Secor is up there with a shot Just a little bit better. This sort of golf is demoralizing. In the third round Secor drew Rudy Knepper of Princeton and outstanding favorite to capture the title won In 1921 by J, Simpson Dean, also from Princeton, who graduated last year. In his previous rounds, Knepper never failed to keep below eighty. Secor was only supposed to be soft pick- ngs for the Tiger star, Just a practice round. So it appeared after Knep- per sailed off to an early lead, but Secor, in his tantalizing way, plugged away nicely from sand traps and all sorts of trouble and Knepper eventu- ally became discouraged at the success of his rival hanging on so close. At the turn the match was even, Knepper, after a neat drive, scored @ great two on the twelfth, This didn't faze Secor any more than if it had been twenty-two. The Toledo player, refusing to blow, came back stronger than ever and took the six- teenth and seventeenth as well as the match by the margin of one hole. The brand of golf, however, was below the standard, Secor's medal score being 88 and Knepper's 84. Secor followed up this feat with a victory In the semi-finals over Dan Jones of Harvard. This was a nip- and-tuck contest, with Secor making spectacular shots to either safe holes or else win them. So closely matched were the two youths that the outlook was in doubt right up to the six- teenth, where Secor calmly rolled in a difficult downhill putt of fully 15 feet. This decided the issue, as the best Jones could do on the seventeenth was a half in fives, Secor represents Williams and is a newcomer in college tournaments, In action on the links he reminds one of Chick Evans in many little per- sonal traits, v ASTAMPIONSHIP DIVISION, ND—G.

A rec ord-breaking entry has been received, and some of the best female athletes of the East will appear in competition. ‘The entry list is headed by Miss Ade- line Gehrig, the national fencing cham. pion, who last year was crowned th premier all-around woman athlete ot America. Miss Gehrig will try for prize: in three events, as will Miss Cathryn Davis, who is here with three othe: girls from Scranton for the big meet. The Misses Gehrig and Davis will meet in the baseball and basketbai! throws. Miss Gehrig is regarded su- preme in tossing the basketball, while Miss Davis has the reputation of bein the best women pitcher in the country with a record of forty-nine consecutiv: victories, including three no-hit games. ‘The strongest woman athletic organi- zations in the city will be represented in to-day's meet, which starts at 2.30 P.

(Spécial to The Fvening World. KMOSTON, July 1.—Whoever made out the National League schedule this season was a wonder. The Brooklyn Robins were scheduled for five games in five days here on this visit, and have already ployed the first four, breaking even, The fifth game is scheduled for to-day. Five games in a row between the same teams has in other years been the limit, but the schedule makers this time assigned the Robins and Braves to follow the five-game series here with a one-day series at Brooklyn to- morrow. The object was to give the Braves a crack at the big pickings in the Brooklyn Sunday games, but six games with the same opponents are enough to make the players of the two teams weary of gazing at the same faces. Now, to add to the strain, Squire Ebbets has moved a postponed game to the Sunday date in Brooklyn to- morrow, and the Robins and Braves are in the book to play seven games in s ix days, which is a record. None of the Greater New York clubs has ever before scheduled a Sunday double-header at home, and Squire Ebbets would not have done it in this instance except that he had no other way to arrange matters. Play will begin at 2.01 P. M, as the Sunday Baseball Law forbids the playing of professional games before 2 P.M. This Sunday double-header in Brooklyn does not mean that the three Greater New York clubs are going to begin catching trade by that sort of thing. They already draw well enough with single battles on Sundays, while double-headers on week days brace up the attendance when things are going bad. Leon Cadore lost by 3 to 2 yes- terday to the Braves because Ivan Olson fumbled grounders from Bar- bare and Nixon, the first two men up in the sixth inning. Cruise sac- rificed, Holke singled, scoring the two men who had reached first on errors, and Horace Ford lined a double to left that scored Holke with the winning run, Cadore was invincible in every other inning. Fillingim, the long-legged Boston spitball artist, was equally invincible, except in the second inning. Myers singled and Mitchell doubled in the second. They stuck while Kopf threw out Olson, but Myers scored and Mitchell roosted on third when Ford fumbled a blow from Deberry. Ca- dore’s long fly to Powell scored Mitch- ell. Ford's error made both the Brooklyn runs unearned in this game, that should have shown a score of 0 to 0 at the end of nine innings. Uncle Robbie was very much pleased with the showing of Cadore. It was not Cadore's fault that the game was lost, and Robbie will regard him as a regular pitcher as long as he pitches up to the standard he set in this duel with Fillingim. Dutch Ruether is due to shoot at the Braves to-day, but Robbie may use Smith or Mamaux and save Rue- ther for the double header to-morrow. Joe Oeschger and Frank Miller are ready to work for the Braves to-day. By Thornton Fisher Wlls SCORES K. .
