WRS.VANDERBECK
WINS WOMEN'S
TITLE AT GOLF
Her Margin 3 Up and 2 to
Play Over Mrs. Gavin
at Onwentsia.
BRITISH FINALIST
SHORT ON DRIVES
Her Concession of Putts Feature
of Match That Ends on the
Sixteenth Hole.
ff<? T'l.ffarfi I? The Tribun?.)
Onwentsia Golf Club, Lake Forest,
111., Sept 11. Maintaining the same !
kind of golf that ginned her the medal
in the testing round, Mrs. C. M. Van- .
dtrbeck, of the Philadelphia Cricket'
Club, defeated Mrs. W. A. Gavin of the
Shirley Park Club i England!, by 3 up j
and 2 to play In the final round of the
women's national champ'onship tourna- ?
ment on the links of the Onwentsia |
Club to-day.
Mrs. V;.nderbeck, who early in the !
season won the title of the Women's I
Erstem Golf Association, had the ad- .
vantage of her opponent off the tee.
forcing Mrs. ?yavin to play the odd at
distances from ten to thirty yard?. I
This difference in yardage generally
Inerssasd after the second shots and i
invariably gave Mrs. Vanderbeck the
assist approach. Mrs. Gavin played
her irons well, her direction rarely be- !
in?' faulty, but she usually had just ai
bit tOO much to do in reaching the
??reens.
The heavy rains recently so softened
the turf that the course was moro dif?
ficult than ever, although the greens, '
a trifle heavy, were ideal for holding
the approach?-.?, ber-idt-s being of th?;
sort to inspire bold putting.
The liberality with which lira. ??a. it?,
con?.??!?-?! shoit putts to her astsgonist
became the talk of the galler> before
the match had progressed far. On
many of the greina alter the approach
putt Mrs. Vanderbeck had nothing rnoie
to d >, although she protested to her
opponent.
When Mr. Gavin was asked how it
waa that his wife was ?o liberal in her
concession of putts, the man with the
monocle replied:
"Dash it all, ?he has been that way
ever since I have known her; aiway ?
giving things awa>, even mone>."
Mr. Gavin, by the way, wishes i' un
derstooil that hi? wife is not going or.
the stage.
No fault could be found with the was
the women played the, first hole, botr
getting good drivei?, irons short of the
'? cross bunker and approaches to the
green for a half in 6. The vagaries o
the game were illustrated when the
English woman, after her tee shot han
landed in a trap going to the second
hole, laid a niblick shot to the higl
side of the green twenty feet beyoin,
the flag and ran down the- putt for a
, 3. A moment before it looked like Mr?.
Vanderbeck'? hole a? her drive, prac- :
tically 200 yards, left her ball almoat :
on the green's edge.
Although this putt placed Mr?. Gavin
1 up her advantage was short-lived, a?
from the third tee her drive failed t.
carry the Skokie. Mrs. Vanderbec?,
won with a 6, squaring the match, and
when ?he won the fourth in 6 to 6 after
the British woman had ?liced her drive
to the rough the Eastern .hampion al?
ways looked like a winner.
They halved the fifth in a fine 4. but
Mrs Gavin should have aquared ?U
match at So. 6, where her opponent
made two bad ?hot?. The foreign?*!,,
however, unexpectedly took 3 putt?.
Because she lacked the length t.?
drive beyond the point of wood? at th.
eighth hole Mrs. Gavin loat there, h?>r

O Tempora and Such.
Seven years ago the National League had about such a
race on hr.nd a? it has to-daj. It had three clubs romping
on through September so ti?,?htly jammed that it required
a decision from the league to separate them at the finish.
Those three clubs were New York, Chi?*agn and Pitts?
burgh the old pentiant guard of the National League.
Their leaders were John McGraw, Frank Chance and Fred |
Clarke. And the three club.? they fed upon to a large ex- i
tent weie Ho; ton, Philadelphia and Brooklyn only the
(.iiai'.ts quit feeding that year on Philadelphia when t'ove
leskie arrived.
The N. L. still has three contender? romping through th?
?.retch. But they are not ?New York, Chicago or Pittsburgh.
They are the three 1908 feeder?, who ??ven years ago in
th il blazing finish wert regarded as dub? supreme.
1908 and 1915.
Back in 1908 around this staft o? the battle the two clubs
given the best chance to win were New York and Pitts?
burgh. Chicago was counted out. But the old Cub Ma?
chine swung into line about mid-September for s tinal dash,
and whei. the G lasts broke in Philadelphia the three
cornered tie existed almost to the lagt day. The dope was
torn to .?hreds in 1908. and it would likely be torn to shreds
in 1918 if |here wai any dopa left. Which there isn't.

As we understand it. no one is more confident of winning
the pennant than Msssrs. Stalling?, Morgan and Robinson.
They simply can't lose.
If there be anything in hunches or forecasting shadows,
Eastern football had as well c*et ready for a tidy shock this
fall. The start the West made in golf and lawn tennis,
with hoth champs elected, furnished enough impetus to
gain many a yard through some Eastern line.
It was only day before yesterday so it seemed when we
were discussing Hinkey's chances to christen the big Yale
bowl with victory against Haughton. Hardwick and the
rest of Harvard. And yet there we are again with spirals
once more sailing against the horizon and the mournful
plea from fifty campuses that "the material this year is
both green and light and the prospects very wretched, in?
deed, for Yalevard to have a winning eleven."

Bromo Again Beaten,
and by a Short Head
-.
John E. ?Wadden's Gillies, an Added
Starter, Wins the Home Bred
Stakes?Trial by Jury
Beats The ? inn.
By HERBERT.
Some horses like s. me men are born to greatness without reaping
the fruits thereof. L. S. Thompson's Bromo, a sun of Broomstick, is
-jch a horse. He was beaten a head in the Homebred Produce Sttkes
< ver six furlongs at Belmont Park yesterday, just as he was beaten a
r'ead by Thunderer in the rich Futurity the week before. In each tace
he earned the real honors without carrying off the prize.
An added starter beat Bromo. John E. Madden sent out hia
maiden two-year-old Gillies tinder 107 pounds and had the satisfaction
of seeing his colors carried to the front in one of three sensational
finishes, which made the day one of excitement and keen pleasure for
a crowd of 20,000 or more which turned out for the last Saturday of
the meeting.
Twenty pounds beat Bromo and a little ill-luck in the early part
of the race when Notter could not find clear sailing. Twenty pounds
is a powerful handicap and it was just too much to overcome yester?
day, as the race .was run. Gillies, always close to the pace, drew out
ft the last furlong pole and under Turner's vigorous finish lasted just
long enough to earn the lion's share of the purse.

The East triumphed over the Wr
yesterday on the turf courts, of t
West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hfl
Long Island, making a clean sweep
the two singles and one doubl
matrhe.? ar.d taking the East. v?. W?
! series by a tots! of four matcnes

R. N'orris Williams. 2d, of Philad?
phia. who lost his national title
William M. Johnston last Monda
came back in a sensational mann,
yesterday and sent hi? great riv
. down to defeat by a score of 6
0 ?5. 6 4. f? 4 Nathaniel W. Niles,.
Boston, defeated Clarence J. Grifft
of San Francisco, by a score of 4
6 4, 6 3, 6 1, and Karl Bohr nn

McLoughlin and Thomas C. Bun?!'
former doubles champions, in a desp?
, rate live-set struggle at 6 4, 8 1<
I 6 - 8, 8 8, 6 I.
The feature of the day was Will
! iams's victory over the little Cal
fornian. Johnston, who closed a wor
derful record in the national al
; comers' tournament earlier in the wee
i by winning the highest honors on th
courts. The champion was not qu-l
himself yesterday, while Williams wi
| going at his best and played a gan
' that was brilliant in the extreme.
Johnston Off Color.
Johnston showed evidence of ha
ing played too much lawn tennis du
ing the last ten days, and he lackc
the lighting, aggressive spirit that di
tingnishsd his earlier work. William
on th'* contrary, was in one of his r*i
moods, when everything he hit wi
under perfect control, except in th
' second ist, and his exhibition lei
little to ho desired by his admirers
More thss three thousands person
turned out to see the last of th
matches between the leading players I
the country, and although the tina
point in the doubles was not finish?;
until the sun had set and a fog ha
started to drift over the field from th
Sound, only a few of the spectators lei
their seats, so spectacular was the pla
of the four men on the coijrt.
The victory of Pell and Behr wa
considere?! more remarkable because o
the fact that it marked the first tim
the "Teddy-Bear" combination ha.
played as a team this year. McLough
?in has not shown to better advantag
this season in the East, and the red
headed wonder from the Coast kept th.
stMiids in a constant uproar by his sen
' sational work at the net. It was onl;
when Bundy weakened in the last twi
.sets that Behr and his partner gainei
the edge on their opponents.
Behr, particularly in the final set
when he charged the net with all hi:
! old ardor to bring off amazing "kills'
from overhead, was easily Red Mac':
equal, and the constant volleying dueli
! between these two thrilled the on
' lookers.
Pell, too, played in beautiful forrr
1 and many times he finished the point
by terrific backhand drive? squarelj
between McLoughlin and Bund). Hi
was likewise deadly overhead in th?
last set, and made his presence felt at
' all times, steadying the erratic Behi
? when the latter showed sign? of wild
ness ar.d acting at the leader in th?
aggressive attack from midcourt thai

Nile? Show? I Ine Control.
Nile? triumphed over "Peck" Griffin
by exercising better control over hit
deep drive? and using line judgment in
his placement shota, compelling th?
', Californien to cover a great amount
of ground as he went after the Boaton
' man's shots.
Williams and Johnston were the first
to issue from the clubhouse, and both
received a royal welcome from the
crowd. Johnston ?tarted the service,
but William? scored the first two pointa
by dazzling forehand drives squarely
on the side lines for clean placement
aces. His next return went out, ?nd
then the Californian ?hot over a service
: ace and brought off two brilliant low
rstlsya to the Philadelphian'a fore?
court, catching William? out of po.-i
. tion both time?, and winning the open
ing game.

Gillie? i? a good looking colt by Og
den-Gn!den Drop, ?nd hence a full
brother to Pari?, which won the Cham?
pagne Stake? in Mr Madden'? colors a
year ago. but which ha? not been i??n
this year, he wa* far back in th? run
ning of the Futurity, due largely, ac
?ording to his jockey, to meeting with
much interference. Mr. Madden told
hi? friend? that ne had a royal chance
to win yesterday if he would run to hi?
work, ?nd the colt, with clear ?ailing,
justified this con?denee, thank? to his
big pull in the weight?.
Jame? Butler'? ?Spur, which finished
fourth in the Futurity when making hi?
first appearnr.ee, ran a respectable third,

Trial by Jury See re?.
The Jerome Handicap, at one mile,
furnished another of thott tente (in
?.?he? which make hand? tremble and
heart? thump. Trial by Jury, under
127 pound?, beat The Finn, under 12*
pounds, by the width ot s hsnd, run- M
ning the mile in 1:38 2-6. A
Tammy MrTagg3rt had the mount on?
Triai by Jury, and ?rreat is th? power ?
of the whip whan used by ?urh a lusty
Jocb?jr. It i? fair to ssy that The Finn
would have won in another ?tride, as
he wa? running the stronger of the
two at the end, but Captain Casaatt
cared not a ?????it for this, a? Trial by
Jury establiahed himself at on* mil?
at least the equal of any thre?-y?ar-old
of the year, barring, of course, H. P.
Whitney's unbeaten Regret.
The race was a stirring battle from
the ?tart, and it mu?t be told that The
Finn, uiually a ?low breaker, earned
every advnntag* as the barrier Ila?h?d
up by getting away on hi? toe? and
forcii.g the pace for a furlong or to.
Davies th?n took back, wi??ly no doubt,
and let Saratoga and th?n Hauberk
make the running, keeping his mount,
however, always within striking di?
tsnee.
It also must be told that Trial by
Jury was forced to run on the out?ide
all around th? turn, a distinct handi?
cap, and that yet he wa? good enough to
wear Hauberk down in the ?tretch and
to with'tand the mighty challenge from
The Finn in the last sixteenth. It was
a thoroughly good performance for
both hor???.

Mr. Archdale'? M. J. Shannon had the

walked home, as Black and White, th*
only other ?tarter, wa? lengths away.
The condition? called for amateur

mount on Web Carter. He rated him
along in front for two mile? and a half
and, clever a? h? is, many hav? bee-*
