Mrs. Turiihull said after Sfiha nlty was over that 'all the credit be- iflonged to Jimmy Haines, tho eltlelent pro-ffeislonal at Whltemarsh. Ho ban been fKrcaUy inicrcsieu in uer giiinc iinm mo jlUrt and has predicted that she will ko fnr linBolf.

Ow Reason Why She Hits Lone Ball Mrs. Turnbull Is fortunate In that she Is In.t IhuuMer-bound ns are most women fplaycrs and. in addition to this she times Ij.er wfeoden.

shots She hits the fk.ll hard and thts la- where most women Ififall to, put In tho force. So many of them plty.tne nrivc periecuy uniu inq ciuo nean iWU tho ball and just at that tlmo when ifliy ought to be getting every ounce Into the shot they slacken down. Uut Mrs. Turnbull hits her wooden shots with the ifrace and proficiency or a professional. And yet a lot of women who have seen her rift the ball from the ten wonder why her handicap Is as high as It Is.

Tho JmsoA seems to be that she has not yet mattered tha art of the approach. The shorter distances bother her greatly and she li usually well over the holo or far short ef Her puttfng eye Is good and her iwork on the greens compares favorably with most women. So when she gets tho I'iifflcult art of approaching mastered wo iwlfl see a Very 'line golfer, for from the tee she Is not only the longest woman driver Sin Philadelphia liut there arc very few mmnuw 1 (Cfiidc) Evans Jr. IftrnllK (playing of llobcrt Cnrdi I tlunal champion naturally con rdncr as na- immanded a i treat deal of attention throughout the week's play at Merlon. Toward tho latter part of the championship week Gardner was matched with young Jones, of Atlanta.

The contest drew largo gallery. Young Jones proved that his previous matches were not fluky by starting off tho tiardncr mntch with a rush. Tho strain of tho previous li seemed to bo telling a bit on tho former champion, for ho sliced his first drlvo Jones won tho holo with a "par four The second holo also tell llOJonra when Cardner drove badly and nun (ft Ms secon ifout of bo I'Mo the fi rn.r SM second shot trapped. At this point. uamners hick turned, no uru bounds, but tho ball bounded back fairway with a splendid He.

Oard- Jer chose his Iron and was on tho green liner going right through a trap. This bit 1 piay tjeemed to shake Jones confidence, for In trying to nlav safe ho was trapped lost tho hole.

Tho Dixon tournament was unusual In that It a medal play handicap. Any woman who wins It three times, not necessarily In succession, may retain It.

It will lie an annual event for the women and will bo played on all the big courses around rhlladelphla. Clayton J. Dixon, who gave tho cup In honor of his mother, was a most unusual host, as the luncheon which was kencd to the ilaers was very kindly provided by him at no cost to tho participants. Miss Mntile's Efficient Management Tho tournament, ns usual, was vcrv ably handled by Miss II. Kthet Maule.

secretary of the Women-. Clolf Association, and, while Miss was suffering fium a cold, she remained on duty until tho tournament was over. Miss is the managing head of one of the Inigest business concerns In I'hlladelphla. taking up this burden after her father's death, and Is an expert In running tournaments for women, and this Is no easy 'matter If you havo ever tried. She was ably assisted by Harry Ithondos, president of the Spilnghaven Country Club.

Kot innately, the tlrst and tenth tees are right at the clubhouse, so that It was possible to stall the large field on both nines very promptly. Altogether. It was a most enjoyable tournament on a delightful day In September Mrs. W. A.

(Jain, the women's Metropolitan champion, and whom Mrs. Clarenco II. Vanderbeck. of the rhlladelphla Cricket Club, defeated for the national title In demonstrated a few days ago that this business of a llrst-class man golfer giving an equally good woman golfer a halt a stroke a hole Is not nn easy task for the man. Harold Hilton, who has been the American amateur and the lirltltOi amateur and open champion once, tried to beat Miss Cecil l.eitch at the same gamo and failed to come across.

Of course, we men must make excuses for Travers, and the chief excuse In his caso Is that his golf was not up to his usual form. Traver.4 should have made the Wykagjl course In anywhere from seven to ten sttokes less than he did, whllo Mrs. lluvln was possibly playing a better gnme against Travers than against ono of her own sex. At Knglewood she played nine holes in par and at AVykagyt she had eight In par. Travers had fourteen boles In par at Kngle-wood and twelve at Wykagyl In par or better, so It can readily be seen that Mrs.

(Invlii played a very lino brand of golf. On an even basis he hnd Mrs. Gavin nine down, three at Knglewood and six at Wykagyl. Yet at tho end of the match, allowing Mrs. ttxvln eighteen strokes In thirty-six holes, the woman player was six up on the man who four times has won the amateur crown and once the national open title ay tit im a champion who was a champion In every sense of the word.

Gardner was playing splendidly, but with the kid playing golf with the precision of a machine, even splendid golf wouldn't meet tho situation. Gardner took the eighteenth and ended tho morning round ono down. Tho exciting play of the morning furnished the gallery with a topic of great Interest, and In tho afternoon a hugo crowd gathered to see the finish. Gardner took the first two holes, lost tho third and won the fourth. From this point to tho finish Gardner was never headed.

This did not mean, however, that Jones weakened, for ho delivered a quality of golf that kept the gallery at fever heat to tho very finish. On tho fifth hole Gardner played a re-markablo shot. He was somo twelco feet abovo tho green with a ridge to pitch over and a steep slope for his ball to land on. With tho use of back spin, described In one of my recent articles, splendidly applied, Gardner so controlled his ball that In spite of the dltllcultles he was wlthl four foet of tho holo and drew a half. Gardner's play on the eighth and ninth was also phenomenal.

And here It seemed for the first tlmo to break the fighting spirit of young Jones. On the twelfth hole In the nfternoon ho was four down, hut he played the next three holes strongly, but not quite well enough. Gardner ended the match on tho fifteenth green by holclng fifteen-foot putt. Tn my previous articles on putting we have said that putting was a game within a game. It Is tho opinion of most critics that Gardner's putting saved him In his match with Jones, It was phenomenal work.

But there was not the slightest sjllp in its almost clock-llko precision. me A Ik EVENING WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2G, LOOKS GLOOMY, TEMPLE OVERTHROW GIVES A'S FIRST TALLY Mclnnis Steals Second and Reaches Home When Hale Throws Into Center MYERS VS.

This decision was reached when it was seen that the number of male students enrol led In the normal rchool ot trntnlug wns not large enoup.lt to compose an eleven.

There uro only fifteen men enrolled In tho normal school of training this season. Ot course, there are a largo number of main students In the other departments, but during tho lust live years tho athletic teams have been composed cntllely of students In the physical training claaies. The men In tho medical university department feel that they cannot spaio the tlmo from their scholastic work to try for the vaiious athletic squuds. Athletic Director AVIlllam Nlcolal stated that while Templo might bo able to gather enough fellows tn have a football team, the class of tho eleven would be such Umt they would not even bo good practlco for the col-leces that Templo has mot In former years. Another reason advanced for discontinuing football Is (ho absanco ot kuitable field upon which to hold dally work-outs.

The men In tho physical training department do not Intend to drop athletics. In place of it football eleven tho men will form a soccer team. Although most of them havo never played tho Kugllsh gnme, they believe they will havo fair eleven. Soccer Is growing In popularity with such rapidity that the Tuturo physical Instructors believe tho practice which they will recelvo will prove a great help to them In their future positions. Practice to Start Today Tart of the physlcnl training courso nt Templo Is to spend two mornings each week on the athletic field.

Starting today, tho llftecn men. under tho coaching of Athletic Director Nlcolni, will begin their work nt the new sport at Klugsesslng Playground.
