One-Sided Foot Ball Games ? High Class Bowling Contests?Open ing of Whist Season. Special Dispatch to Tin- Erenlng Star. HAVERFORD. Pa.. October 8.?The first round in the Griscom invitation tourna ment played yesterday at the Merion Club links strengthened the notion that the first prize lies between Miss Adair. British cham pion. and Mrs. Stout. ex-United States chamnlon. Miss Adair was off on putting and did not grain a lead on Miss Pauline Mackav of Boston until the ninth hole. On the third she lost three strokes by golr g out of bound. In spite of her poor short g?me the Irish Queen lost no holes on the inward journey, ending 4 up and 3 to go. Miss Norah Adair's continuous solicitude showed that even she doubted her sister's widely known capacity for recovery. Mrs. T. W. Reath. wjio led the Philadelphians on the qualifying round, put up a gallant fight with Mrs. C. T. Stout, and that match was suuare as late as the thirteenth hole. Then Mrs. Stout asserted herself, ending 3 up and 2 to play. Mrs. E. A. Manice. Metropolitan champion, was even In worse form than yesterday, being defeated .> up end -1 to go by Mis-s Fannio Osgood of Bos ton. Miss Margaret Curtis of Essex county by the narrow margin of 1 up cut off the chances of the Canadian contingent by de feating Miss Phepoe. The closest match was between Miss Georglana Bishop of Bridgeport and Mrs. FitsGerald of Phil adelphia. The latter lost on the nineteenth hole, after giving away two chances. An unexpected defeat was that of Miss Emily I.ockwood of Boston by Miss A. McNeeley of Merion. 1 up. On the other hand. Miss Katherlne Harley of Fall River won by 1 up from Mrs. C. F. Fox of the home club on the last green. Mrs. R. H. Barlow of Merlon had no great difficulty in disposing of Miss Harriet Curtis of Essex county by 3 up and 2 to play. There Is being arranged a novel special feature for Saturday, the first international woman's team match ever held In this country. On one side Miss Adair will prob ably captain the Canadians, while on the other Mrs. Stout is likely to lead the Ameri cans.

Twelve thousand sorrowful rooters left Bxposltion Park. Pittsburg, last evening. They had gone there to see the Pittsburgs take another game from the Bostons. One hundred and seventy-five others, led by a brass band and carrying Cy Young on their shoulders, left In an entirely different and provoking manner. They comprised the visiting fans from Boston, and "]?*> were the happiest crowd that ever Infaded Pittsburg, for the game had been won by tho Americans by the score of 11 to Roaring Bill Kennedy, the hardest worker In the pitcher's box in the National League, had threatened to commit suicideifhewa* not allowed to pitch a game of the serle*. A.S he seemed good. Clarke allowed him to go in and Kannedy was there with the goods. He pitched ball which would have won nine games in ten. In the sixth Inning ten batsmen faced Kennedy, and all on account of four rank errors. Clarke made one. two of them fell to Wagner's lot, and r,eaoh got the fourth. After the errors Kennedy's balloon ascend ed When the smoke of battle had cleared away six runs had been made oft three hits and a base on bails. Two Of the hits were b<sautl<*?. each of A,em being for three bap. The first whs made by Cy Young, and it went into the left field garden. The next was by Dough erty. into almost exactly the same spot. Bill was still up in the air in the seventh, ami allowed a base ^>n balls and four hits, which netted four runs Then Thompson took bis place. The vis itors scored another run tfn Stahl's triple and Freeman's out at first. Cy Young was at his very best. He had the Pirates completely at his mercy, aod would have shut them out but for an error by Parent in the eighth inning. With two out and Beaumont on first, the Boston short stop fumbled Clarke's hot grounder. Leach tripled, scoring Beaumont and Clarke with Pittsburg's brace of tallies.

The game took place In the center of the race track between the Norris Peters and Bureau base ball teams, the former winning by a score of 8 to 0. Both teams put up a fine exhibi tion of ball. W. Beckett was on the slab for the winners, and allowed but two scat tered hits, while V. Wahler pitched for the Bureaus, but did not have as good control as Beckett, and was touched up for nine hits. The Norris Peters went first to the bat. Hughes was given his base, Gates bunted safely and Nichols was also given a free pass, but Wahler fanned Babson and Crooks, and Much popped a fly to Rlsten. Neither side scored until the fourth Inning, when the Norris Peters made one run. After two hands were out Moreland was given his base on four bad ones, and took second on a wild pitch. H. Beckett then singled to right and Moreland scored. Beckett was thrown out going to second. Another run was scored by the winners in the sixth. Babson singled, stole second and came home on Crooks' liner to center. The seventh opened by H. Beckett flying to C. Wahler, who dropped It. and the run ner was safe. W. Beckett drove one in the same field, but Wahler could not get it. Hughes bunted and was safe on a wild throw to first. Gates hit to Hook, who re peated Wahler's performance by throwing wild. Nichols singled and the next two were retired. Much and Moreland hit safe, and two runs w^ro scored on McCauley's wild throw, six runs being scored In this inning. Thlp ended the run-getting. Only one man reached third base for the Bureaus ?this was in the fifth. Risten was on flrst, and Gates threw to catch him, and four players, ran him down between the bases.

Fine Bowling Team Out for the Pen nant. The Saengerbund team had their first practice of the season Monday evening. Willie Miller was absent, owing to a sore finger, but without this star the five, with Wldmayer substituting, ran fine scores, reaching the unusually high total of U85 in the first game and in the second 833. While all the men showed good form, the work of Burdine and Eiker deserves spe cial mention, the former having 240 and 158 to his credit, while the latter's two games of 11)7 and 199 were the result of the same careful rolling which characterized his work of last year, and which will make him a strong contender for first honors. The German team, composed, as it Is, of Krauss. Eiker, Miller, Burdine and Scheuer man. will make a strong bid for permanent possession of the cup. In Krauss, Miller and Eiker the Saengers have the mainstays of the crack Y. M. C. A. which won the cup two years ago. The scores are as follows: First Second ,, , Game. Gaine.

The Methodists had a light line, but strong backs. They mad*: only three yards through Yale in the game. In the flrst half the regular Yale 'varsity made 310 yards on line rushes. The only time the visitors tried to gain they lost eight yards on two trick plays that Bloomer broke through find killed.

The vict6ry was an easy one. Harvard's goal never in danger, and only once did Bates succeed in holding her for downs. "This was at the close of the second half, when the Crimson team was largely composed at substitutes. Harvard's play throughout showed con siderable Improvement over the work in Saturday's game. Although Bates was weak, the Crimson defense was better, and not once in the game did Bates succeed in finding a hole in the Harvard line. Noyos fumbled once, but aside from this, filled Marshall's place well. Bowditch was in every play, pulling his man along in good style. Randall, at left half, netted several good gains. Hurley put up a plucky game at right half, averaging five yards through the line, and at one time circling the en-J for forty yards. Almost all of the Crimson plays were di rected at the line. Instead of around the ends, and only once did Harvard kick. Then Noyes lifted the ball for forty-five yards. Bates fumbled and Bowditch re covered the ball.

WHIST SEASON OPENS Yarborough Club Holds Interesting Bound of Compass. The whist season can be said to have opened last evening, when the Yarborough Whist Club held its first regular weekly round of compass at the cozy parlors of the organisation on O street northwest, fif teen tables being required to accommodate those who desired to play. This club is the only whist organisation in the city that belongs to the Women's Whist League, and the lovers of the silent game naturally wait for it to Inaugurate the season. The distribution of hands last night was of tlie conservative sort and bold play failed to get its reward, the good, steady whlsters gaining points on almost every board to the consternation of the reckless ones. The east and west column was headed by Mrs. Stephens and Mrs. Pilling with 123 tricks, while the north and south contingent followed In the wake of Mrs. Stewart and "Colonel Dummy" with a score of 14i?. The hands north and south were considerably stronger, hence the difference In the total figures. The monthly business meeting of the Yar borough Club was held last Saturday and the organisation was found to be in a nourishing condition for the conflng season. Seven new whist enthusiasts handed In their application for membership and there were no withdrawals. The different fours that have been formed in the club for match play have already taken up hard practice and many interest ing contests will be played this season. ATHLETIC CARNIVAL.

Guile was successful In pinning his opponent's shoul ders to the mat. Dawson won his bout with Bergling and the match between H. Lipp and J. Ludwig. heavyweights, was won by the former. The spectators were greatly amused over the attempts of several contestants to catch the greased pig. The slippery "critter" was Anally captured, and the crowd then repaired to the ball field to witness the game between the Norlrls Peters team and the nine from the Burean Athletic Club. Other features of the entertainment were an . exhibition of tight-rope walking by Prof. Joyce and dancing.
