traps wxi maintained yesterday when
forty-seven of the Mercury Foot emblem j
wearers toed tho mark at tho range ,
ovcrlook.ng Long Island Sound In I
weather that ' was almost ideal from j
their standpoint. While tho (lay before ;
thero were 23 returns of the 45 show- j
Ing 90 or better, yesterday's showing
was 18 out of 17. Moreover tho high
winning total was the same, only this
time It was tho veteran Halph L. Spotts I
who showed th? way by shattering all j
but two of his assignment of 100 blue-
rocks I
hnotM made stra'ght runs in the first
and tl- r.l tv.enty-tHo bird strings, anJ ,
ultnoueh he failed mi o the last time up
lie ft'il had a margin of two kills over
the field at the finish. Ills closest rival
was T. It Lawrence, with 96, but there
wore many others with scores ranging
from 93 to 95.
A miss In tho Byronell cup event,
which was the second twenty-five bird
contest on the programme, kept Spotts
from Betting a high run for tho days I
that would have made, tho natives gasp.
Another who made a double straight
was J. T. Bishop, who Is beginning to be
r better trapfhooter than he la a golfer,
which Is sajlng something considering
that ho was a member of the Yale golf
team not to many ears hark, Bishop
bad a por beginning, but after scoring
21 In the Travers Island trophy shoot
and only 17 at the next attempt ho set
tled down and finished with an un
broken half century, which made him
the winner of tho leg on the Uuermeyer
troplr .
There were so many contestants dead
locked for the high handicap prize that
it aa dv led to hold over the shootoff

Br John c. Annitso..
Three golfing Incidents of tho past
week deserve more than passing men
tion, tho cry of tournament committee
men for novelties, tho' statement that
Abe Mitchell will not appear In America
this coming season, and the news fiom
.the Hub that the gambling clement o
that district have turned their attention
to golf.
With regard to the first problem It Is
not singular of course that at this time
of tho year letters from tournament
committeemen come rolling In with re
quests that advice be given for the 1920
schedules. It Is no easy condition to
face since most of the freak events have
long slneo been tried out and usually
sent to the golfing graveyard. The pri
mary purpose of unusual competitions,
we take It. Is to arouse Interest in tour
nament play among those golfers who
do r.ot care particularly for the medal
play method and still less for the mora
tedious match round, or, secondly, to
furnish a pleasing variety to tho en
thusiast who enters any and all club
fixtures.
That these varied attempts to whet
the golfing appetite usually fall Is clear
ly discerned by a glance at the pro
gramme arranged for the following
year, all the out of the ordinary events
being left out. However, past experi
ence counts for little at the majority
of clubs because the membership of the
committee changes so frequently and
newcomers seldom take cognizance of
their predecessors' successes or failures.
i Personally we would prefer to see no
ireak tourneys of any bort scheduled
since they arc too often played under
special newly made rules and few
enough golfers know the rules for or
dinary medal play golf.
A prominent golf critic said this past
week thHt the great number of fourball
matches being played these days In th
course of tlub medal play competitions
where flayers lift the ball any old
place and play under the spiclal rule
fir fourball matches reacted most un
favorably wIimi golfers met In a regu
lar tournament In a single, which Is
true. Tliree-flfths of the golfers play
ing on a Saturday or a holiday In a
lub tourney the coming season will
lay in fourball groups under font ball
ules where greater laxity is permitted,
.'be thought of tho regular medal play
vents and the rules which are applica
ble to such will never be In the player's
mind. If th"y don't know what to do
In u given case they rely upon some one
else In the fourball match and trust to
lni.k that what he or they may say Is
right.

I know of one fourball group who will
not enter a mdal play event now at

DALLAS, Tex., March 21. Now that the Giants liavo played a couple
of games with the Hed Box It Is possible to get a better Idea of
th ccondltlon of tho players anil tho general Hiatus of tho club than
It was at San Antonio, when the opposition was noft. Tho Giants are
hitting fully as well as could ho expected. Their fielding has been of the
Highest order. The pitching has been goo. In a genera wa . ester tia
Nehf and Hubbcll worked well, 'and to-day Tcney wont along strongly until
Hooper hit him for a homo run over the short right field fence and put
t. t Itod Sox In front. Toncy's slow ball Is working to perfection and It
had tho Ked Sox altogether baffled. Jess Karnes, who took Toney s place
n i.tmr.i intA o imtA tn Ai-prv limine nrlmarllv because ho Hus not jet
gained his control. He is comiiig along rather slowly In that feature, but
ho has a world of stuff and considerable speed.
The Illness of Iloss Young hits tho Giants in strength and probably in
morale too, but the club is fortunato in having so capable a substitute us
Arnold Statz, whoso fielding this afternoon was sensational. Particularly
close attention Is being paid to Itrry Poyle. who, of course Is the "If in
tho Xew York infield. In tho games yesterday and to-day Doylo played
his position without a flaw, and he Ftun;; the ball hard too. If Larry can
continue at the gait which he struck In the two games with Boston he
will do. Fletcher Is fielding well, but Having a limo irouuie uuuijik
batting eye. Frlsch is fielding in a sensational way and he is hitting better
than had been expected. His triple was a feature yesterday.
In the two games played thus far the Ued Sox have shown far better
than had bqcti expected. Ed Barrow has no outstanding stars like Babe
Ruth and Carl Mays, but he seems to have a better balanced club than that
of last season and It should do better. Mclnnls is the same old Stuffy at
first. At second base ho has McN'ally. a fust fielder, who would havo earned
a regular place long ago if he had been able to hit. Harry Hlller, a recruit
from tho Virginia League, also Is with tho club as a second baseman, but
he is not a stronger hitter than McXally. At shortstop Barrow has Scott,
while at third be has Kddlo Foster, formerly of the Senators.
Vitt, who played third last season, is a holdout and apparently ho Is
not missed. In the outfield Barrow has Hooper, Menoskey, Hendrix and
Marsans. The Cuban's layoff from major league play has not .Improved
his batting eye, for to-day he could not get near tho ball. However, Marsans
did not work with the Sox at Hot Springs. He camo up from Cuba In
tlmo to leave for Dallas.
Behind the bat tho Bed Sox miss Wallle Schans, who says ho Is through
with baseball and that he can make nioro money in the airplane business
in Philadelphia. Walters, once a Yankee, and McKey Dovino give Barrow
a fair catching staff, but neither is In the same class with Schang.
Barrow this evening discussed tho case of Babe Buth, who, according
to report, is not doing much hitting with tho Yankees. "Let no ono do
any worrying about Buth's hitting," he said. "When tho time comes for
Ruth to hit ho will bo all there, make no mistake about that. Ruth is a
wonder. No pitcher lives who can stop him. They may get him ono day,
but he will break right out the next. I was very sorry to lose Babe. He
meant a lot to the strength of tho club on tho field. But you know that
the sum which tho New York club paid for Buth was not a sum which could
be refused by any sane man. New York was tho only city In the country
which could have made any offer like that. And it will profit through tho
purchase."

Cuba has its Babe Buth, but he Is of darker hue than the famous
home run king of the Yankees. His' name is Christopher Torriente and
he attracted considerable attention during the winter season now drawing
to a close In the Cuban League. Critics who ought to know regard him as
one of the surest and hardest hitters the island yet has produced. Besides
batting at af .450 clip in his own league Torriente, big. muscular and keen
eyed, proved a terror to the major league pitchers who played In Cuba
during the winter.
In sixteen games against such twlrlers as Ed Pfeffer and Leon C.ulore
of the Brooklyn team and Carlsr.i and Ponder of the Pirates, who played
under the management of George Cutshaw, and against .lack Quinn, Bob
(.eary and .Mule Watson of the All America aggregation, Torriente had a

of his drives off Carlson travelled so far into right centre field that he had
completed the circuit of the bases before Max Carey, one of the fastest
men in the major leagues, could reach the ball.
He has been playing the years In the Cuban League and has toured
America with colored teams and never has his average fallen below .350.
His careless, natural hitting posture at the plate has reminded major leaguers
of tho batting stylo of Frank Schulte, who was champion home run hitter
of the National League for many years.

11AIN STOPS AUTO HACKS.
Los Angeles. March 21. The three
fifty mile automobile races scheduled on
the Los Angeles Speedway to-day were
postponed until next Sunday because of
the bad condition of tho Infield caused
by heavy rains.
when within two or three Inches of the
hole. It was no uncommon sight to see
ono of the four knock the ball of his:
partner or opponent Into the hole when
the ball was a few inches from the lip
of the cup, and tneir argument mat an
four agreed that there was no chance
of missing was thought sufficient. Now
they are in a huff, and we hope they
stay that way until they learn how lo
play properly.
One cin look over a thousand pro-
emmmps nf the host clubs, nearly all in
1 Great Britain, and a few In this country
! where the sport is still endowed with a
number of lasting traditions, and never
see aught carded but a medal or bogev
competition and the usual monthly or
blmci.thly match play events.
However, since novelties arc asked for
and will be had whether or not we sub
mit a few which will offend the pro
prieties the least.
For a holiday afterndon card a four
some event played arter the Massachu
setts system used so successfully In the
mixed foursome tourneys held there.
All four playors drive from the tee and
then there Is a choice given for good
Judgment as to what player shall have
tho second shot. It is said that the chief
Joy In golf Is in the driving, and thcte
would bo none of It lost here. This form
of play would also result In the pairing
of playcr3 who are of the same grade of
play, particularly as regards drlvlnj,
and will create a friendly spirit of ri
valry even among the partners all the
way around. Moreover, on a holiday
the" courses are wont to be crowded, and
by following this plan time Is saved,
slnco the play Is faster. f far as we
know this is a new Idea, which has much
merit.
Many Ned Encouragement.
Then we would suggest that each
Saturday there be held a tounament
limited to those who had never won a
prize at the club. We kno-v that Ibis
would be one of the most popular moves
ever made by a tournitnent group.
There would be no restrictio'is on the
player entering the other events cched
uled for the members, but there Is a
t.irn hmlv of men who need encourage
ment in the way of finishing near the
top. Havo but one prize for this group
which at tho end of the year will show
a substantial reduction In numbers. To
ward the end of the season a niatcn pia
event for the winners of prlz;s will at
tract a goodly field.
One more word on this subjc:t. it
behooves the members of the tournament
committees to study the national and
sectional dates so that their own big
club events will not be barrd to their
players who like to enter outside events.
This has been done In the past and the
regrets were all too late even if sincere.
Now about Abe Mitchell. We heard
last week from Laurie Ayton that the
chances of Mitchell's coming to this
I country this season were mighty slim.
In fact negllginie. IIUS siaienrcm. ins

expected Invasion of our shores since we
imvA Krn In competition hero Vnrdon,
I Bay and Ddncan, and wish to behold
new life and present uay loreiyn cratw
who have not displayed their ware In
America.
The Ayton statement is not final by
anv means, the facts of the matter be
ing these: I.ord Xorthcllffe. who
financed the trio to America of both
Hay and Vardon in 1913. lias taken
Mitchell under his wing and is awaiting
developments In the field of play
there were thousands of golfers in Great
Britain who were anxious to see Mitchell
In action ; that they had never seen
their latest star on the links; that the
r.ew club would demand attention, and
that furthermore the number of exhibi
tions which he would be aked to play
would bring him fully as large a sum
as he might secure by touring America,
for It mirst not be lost sight of that
thero would be three weeks of Inactivity j
spent in travel, wmcn would dc in ureal
Britain productive of several hundred
pounds from exhibitions.
But If Walter Hagen or any other pro
frcm these shores wins the British title
the first steamship will have on It Abe
Mitchell and a number of others. Lord '
N'o'thcllffe's golfing warriors failed In
1913, and he probably hasn't forgotten
tiiat. Much depends upon the outcome
cf the play at Deal. England.
It is disquieting tidings that tho
professional gamblers have turned their
attentions to golf, and that books have
been made for one and all to see, upon
the outcome of the various champion
ships, which are scheduled for the rest
of the southern season. When amateur
COLUMBIA DEFATED

Both tho Brooklyn Chess Club and the
I. L. Itlce Progressive Chess Club were
victorious in tho eighth and semi-final
round of tho annual championship com

credited with records ot eight wins In
succession, which none of the other
teams can now attain. The title rests
between these two clubs, which will
meet In the final round. Columbia Uni

at tho right time.
It Is quite likely that the re, .'ptimi

as much a tribute to his person t af

boxer.
That Carpentlcr will be the rlpnrt

Brbby Jones was palpably put oft his

golfer held the two finalists In the usual
pool, which was run before the match

Tnero has been ! happy freedom from
