PHILADELPHIA, June I. With the
first day’s honors resting with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. brilliant
weather again prevailed today for the
finals in the 37th annual intercollegiate
track and field meet on Franklin field
this afternoon. Thirteen Quakers Qual
ified for the finals.
Cornell qualified only seven men, but
among those was John Paul Jones, who
constitutes nearly an entire track team
in himself
The surprise of the tryouts was the
excellent showing of Columbia univer
sity. The only new record up to the
beginning of the final day’s events was
made by a Columbia boy, Russell L.
Beatty, who put the sixteen-pound shot
17 feet and 1-8 of an inch, beating the
intercollegiate record of 46 feet 7 1-8
inches, made by Heiner, of Michigan,
last year.
Harvard had nine men qualified for
today’s numbers. Yale 8, Dartmouth 7,
Syracuse 5. Brown 2, Michigan 7.
Princeton S, Rutgers 1, Wesleyan 2.
Amherst 1, Penn State 1, and Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology 1.
As a result of the changed conditions
prevailing today. Cornell was an equal
favorite with Pennsylvania. In addi
tion to having .Tones, the Ithacans were
considered strongest in the long dis
tance events, for which no trials were
held yesterday.

Two Local Golfers Who Will
Go to the Chattanooga Tourney
These are two of Atlanta’s
best golfers, and it is likely
that both will represent the
Atlanta club in the Southern
championship at Chattanoo
ga. Clarence Knowles is un
questionably the longest
driver in the South. If he
devoted more time to the
game he would be one of the
South's greatest players.
Dowdell Brown is a steady
player, and a hard man to
down in a match.

back? Tliis was the big topic in sport
ing circles today as the result of the
six-round boxing contest between the
title bearer and "Young" Jack O'Brien,
at the American Athletic club last night.
It was one of the fastest fights ever
seen in the Quaker city, and after it
was over both sides laid claim to vic
tory. O'Brien showed remarkable stay
ing power, as well as skill. In the sec
ond round he was floored for the count
of nine. but. after being revived, he
was apparently as strong as ever. Wol
gast tried hard for a. knockout, but his
opponent was so nimble that all of Ad’s
blows missed their mark.
A big crowd of New York sporting
men were at the ringside.

OFFER RICH PRIZES FOR
LOCALS IN NEXT SERIES
The t’racker players are going to cash
in strong on the New Orleans-Atlanta
series which begins next Wednesday.
Five dollars worth of wearing apparel
will go to the best Cracker batter in
the series and a 20-year. 12-slze, 15-
jeweled. open-face watch will go to the
Atlanta batter whose hits drive in the
most runs.
These prizes were offered in connec

the entire series. The wearing apparel
is offered by the Parks-Chambers-

Atlanta Golf Delegation at Chattanooga Will Be Strong as Any
SOUTHERN GOLF TOURNEY IS WIDE-OPEN EVENT
By Percy 11. Whiting.
A HUNDRED and fifty golfers
will get away next Tuesday
morning over the Chattanoo
ga course in the eleventh annual
championship of th* Southern Golf
association
This affair will be a far cry in
point of time, of entries, in enthu
siasm and in the sort of golf played
from the first Southern champion
ship, played in another Tennessee
city one torrid week in June. 1902.
And the difference between the
two events will indicate pretty
clearly the growth that golf has
made in Dixie in that time.
There ate now five to ten times
as many golf courses as then.
There are from ten to twenty times
—yes, and perhaps even fifty times
—as many players. In those days
there were not over two or three
18-hole courses In the South, if
that many. Now Dixie boasts one
45-hole course and one 36-hole
course, while virtually every course
of any prominence has its 18 holes.
In Atlanta the change has been
equally notable. In 1902 there was
one little halfway golf course. It
was nine holes in length we be
lieve, and extremely short. There
are almost as many hundred real
players in Atlanta now as there
were here then. The course now in
use is probably three times longer,
fifty times harder and a hundred
times more expensive. To the first
Southern championship Atlanta
sent just two players—Clarence
Angier, still one of Atlanta’s most
enthusiastic golfers, and the late
TV. P. Hill, runner-up in the 1904
championship. To the coming tour
nament Atlanta will send from 20
to 40 players.

Q OME notable golfers have taken

is an interesting one. Here are

The third most coveted honor in
the golf championship is the team
match competition. This event has
been played under different, condi
tions in different years, but as a
rule the prize has gone to the play
ers from any club whose scores are
the lowest. The team winners
since the event was inaugurated
have been:

1907 Audubon club of New Or

1909 Memphis Country club.
1910— Audubon club of New Or

1911— Birmingham Country club.

» PPARENTLY the coming tour
nament In Chattanooga should
be a trifle more open than any that
was ever played before in the
South. Picking the winner would
take a clairvoyant, with the chances
bad enough, even then. Probably
tin- champions of 1909. 1910 and
1911 will all be there to compete.
But Bill Stewart was a chance
champion at best, F. G. Byrd is not
playing as much as he did when he
copped the title, nor Jack Ediing
ton as well. If Nelson Whitney
plays, which is doubtful, his golf
isn’t what it used to be. Leigh Car
roll won the recent invitation tour
nament In Birmingham, but he is
never better than a mighty reliable
performer. Andrew’ Manson is vir
tually out. A. W. Gaines is a
steady golfer, but nothing more.
And Albert Schwartz is out of
tournament golf. There are twenty
or thirty golfers in the South who
are good enougli right today to hold
their own with the champions of
the past. Therefore, the coming
event looks like big doings.
