THE NEW YORK TIMES. MONDAY, OCTOBER 19. '1903. 8 COUING EVENTS IN GOLF Miss Adair, England's Champion, Will Play at Garden City. Women Preparing for Their Intercity Team Match at Philadelphia Favorable New from Varden.

1" With the forced abandonment of the ppea tournament of the Tuxedo Golf Club, which was rendered necewary owing to the daman done to the Tuxedo links br the recent storm which flooded the Vo Valley severely, and the one week's postponement of the Fox HUla tourna-Tnent. which was finished last wek. the local rolfera hare had a duller time on the links than ts unual at thla time of the year. During the coning weeks, however, there are Indications that the will asrum -eomething of 1U old-time activity and give a lively doring to the Fall eea-cn. la addition to the Intercollegiate tournament this week.

Mlsa Rhona Adair will make her first arrears nee on a metropolitan course. She Is to play on the Pardon City course In a mixed foursome on Thursday, having Devereaux Emmet for a part r.er, and their opponents will be Muss Frances Grt-com and Walter J.Travla. 'Miss Adair will Isit Boston the following wek. rhfn both the metropolitan and women'a associations ill aer.d teams to that city to play for the Grl-com cup, now held by the Boston women. The last haJt of the home-end-home eerie of team atches between the local anJ Philadelphia, associations will be played en Oct.

31 on the links of the Morris County Golf Club at Morristowc, N. J. la the first half, played at Philadelphia In the Spring, the Quaker players won by six holes. Both sides will presefit strong team. The Country Club of Atlantic City has announced aa optn tournament for Nov.

and 7, and the annual Fall open tournament of the Lakewood Country Club will be held on Nov. 29. 27, and 2S. Thla event will be piayed over the new eighteen-hle urse on the club's new grounds. News comes from England that Harry anion, the open champion of Great Britain, who has now beid that honor four times, is making very favorable advance toward a complete recovery from his re-nt illness.

Vardon has for some time been threatened with consumption, and he has been In a sanitarium for several weeks. Whether he ever takes an active part in future golf tournaments ts problematical, for with the standard of professional golf cbroad. a competitor who hopes to retain leading honors needs to be eternally at it. Lack of practice, even for a short time. Is sufficient to put a man badly off his game and give the honors to another.

Vardon and his friends admit that this constant strain upon the nervons system has really broken his health. For over six years Vardon has been one of the most active players on Kng-lish and Scotch links. He has played scores of exhibition matches, and he has literally been forced to play up to his reputation everv time. A defeat of Vardon was always heralded as one of the in the golfing world. His financial success alfc depended a great deal upon his victories, for with the championship lost.

bla attraction as the chief competitor In exhibition matches with a comfortable purse would be materially lessened. VntU a defeated champion can ae- tuaily regain his lost honors, he la, a considerable extent, a back number. la his matches throughent Great Britain, Vardon has traveled hundreds of miles, with generally few opportunities for complete rest after one hard-played game. His American tour alone, four years ago. was e.

strenuous one, for he was busy playlnff on different links every week, and traveled as far south as Florida and west to Chicago, j. h. Ttylor, another champion professional of Great Britain, was here for a while at the same time, but the latter made out a limited tour, compared with Vardon. Vardon has made, perhaps, more money out of glf than any former professional player. In America alone, he made a sura mhich was almost unheard of to forelm professionals.

It ha evidently been ac- fl-jirea at tne cost of neaitiv and although the English -golfers are sorry to say it. they -feel that hereafter they will have to talk of what Vardon did. Instead of spee-ulatlnr or. what Vardon Is expected to accomplish- J. H.

Taylor. David Herd. James Braid, and other prvmlrent professionals on English links, continue to do excellent playing. In a recent professional tournament at Acton. Tavlor led a field of seventv-.

eight eent-stants with a rrand total of 140 strokes, and only one point behind came James Braid. James Hepburn, and Rowland Jonea. The latter one of the yourur-et of the lee ding professionals, and ha rharire of the Wimbledon Park golf course. The forMmtrs tcok a great deal of Interest the caret of the Oxford-Cambridge golf team, which wen every match but one Its competitions with American teams. This one defeat, however, disappointed mary of the English cracks, who looked for a clean score of victories the visitira team.

In commentlnr on this defeat, which wax against the all-American team, an English golfer has made this critiHra "-The British- tei.ni were opposed by the strongest combination that could be got together: It v-as practically representative of the best American amateur coif. Al-thorteh oripowd of firswate players, the Jtritlsh side was In tw way representative; It did not even lncludan amateur chaei-y lon. although there were two mnr.rs-np In the persons of Mr. J. L.

Time 8:52. BRISK SPORT ON THE ROAD. High Wind Was the One Drawback to Fast Tilts en the Speedway. A thirty-mile breeae that swept the Speedway from end to end yesterday morning was the one drawback to a rare day's sport enjoyed by road drivers. Early comers found the road deep In mud from the rain ef the night before, and some of these turned back la disgust, but the strong wind, aided the morning sun in working wonders, end before 11 o'clock the new top soil had dried out to spch an extent that the footing was as good as If there had been no rain for a' week.

After that the course became fast and springy. It waa the first real test the new roadbed has had so far as quick drying la concerned, It proved more than satisfactory to Superintendent Weeks, who selected the loam. James Murphy of Chicago, the former owner of Star Pointer, who has had much experience In this line, declared that the footing was the best he had ever seen. Other drivers were equally enthusiastic In their praise. Pacers were very much In evidence throughout the In fact, they furnished the bulk of the sport.

Robert Davts's mare Burdlna, 2:06, fresh from her successful Grand Circuit campaign, attracted much attention, and had things pretty much her own way until she was turned to a good start with Don Derby, driven by James Murphy. The two alternated in the lead to the finish, Don Derby then outfoet-lng his rival, and winning by a head, going strong and steady. This performance had the effect of frightening off other prospective contestant and after try ins In vain to get a second brush Mr. Murphy sent Don Derby back to the barn and took the reins ever his chestnut pacing stallion Free Advice. The pacer Alcadlne, driven by hla trainer, made a good showing far a quarter with Free Advice, but was shaken off in the stretch.

Christopher Hsckett's pacer King Tom. waa defeated in straight heats by his dainty little stable mate Helen driven by Hackett, Jr. Thomas B. Leahy'a black trotter Santos caused a renuine surprise by beating the crack trotter Ed Lech. owned by Morris Santos won the first heat by a narrow margin, aa he made a losing-break near the ouarter poet, but in the second he took the lead earlv.

and waa never beaded. One of the best three -co r-H oered brushes of the morning waa between the three pacers King Tom, Helen and Bell Boy. 27V4. driven by George Le-vine, Helen H. winning by a nose from Bell Boy.

Fred the old pacing favorite of the Speedway, with a mark of 2.0Sli. covered several fast miles driven by his owner. Charles Wetland drove his Grand Circuit campaigner -Judge Joseph a couple of winning heats. The morning's sport closed, with a very pretty brush between L. W.

Roynton's trotting gelding N'tghthawk, 2:23. and TJpton. driven by M. Pierce, in which the latter waa defeated by a head. Among the many other who participated In the sport were Jacques Cartler.

driving Lady Eugenie, John Cockerlll. President of the Road Drivers' Association, driving 8wift. 2:07. and Miss Hibbard to the pole; Morris H. Htrrman driving Tom Boy.

2:20: George H. Huber. driving Red George. 2:27: W. E.

Parsons driving La Belle Rosa, E. J. La PPIace driving Index. A- L. Kc.rker drivina; Atteteka Boy.

and Charles Masaotn driving Gretchen, ON LOCAL HANDBALL COURTS. Yesterday Was a Record Day for the Number of Games Played Scores. At all the local handball courts yesterday there were more games played than on any Sunday since the season opened. The moat Interesting matches were played at Egan's Jersey City court and Casey's Brooklyn rendesvous. Mike Egan treated the visitors at his own court to a fine exhibition of fast handball when he won three straight games from the partners, James Flaherty and Thomas McCabe, two of the strongest players in the Jersey City Club.

Another good contest was the final games of the lnterclub match, between Edward Groden and M. CKeefe of Tarrant's, and Edward Ficke and Thomas Jackson of Ecac'a These pairs played four games on Egan's court, and the visitors won three of thea after some very lively rallies and good work by both teams. The tenth aniveraary of the opening of the Jersey City Club's court will be celebrated next Thursday, when special Intercity matches will be played by the leading experts from the New Tork, Brooklyn, and Jersey City courts. At. Casey's Brooklyn court Under Sheriff James Dunne played a close match with Dr.

A. M. Gillen. and after showing a good deal of his old-time skin In service as well as return plays, the veteran took the honors by winning the first and third game. Tounc "Willie" Slater, the boy expert of the Club, with P.

J. Cosby for a part, ner. played very cleverly against James Dunne, and John Collins. The latter felr won the opening game by an ace and ost the second, 2117. but they outplayed their opponents In the third and deciding -which they won, 2118.

Meeting of tumbl and Pennsylvania Will Be tr. Week's Feature on the Local Gridiron. College eleve is of the large Eastern universities are lackwsrd in their' development this sea as shown In their gsmes of Saturday, those contests, however, some ftllowanci must be made for crudities due to the unf rtunate weather conditions, for the weatt unquestionably was responsible for nuch of the fumbling and other mlsplay While the ral cannot be eliminated from discussion of Saturday's games, it seems likely that the results of none of the games would have bi en reversed had conditions been more fa orable. Indeed, In several instances the winning scores probably would have en larger. but for the wet day.

To most unbiased spectators this seemed unque tlonable in 'the Columbla-Amheret game That contest waa the football feature the day, when Columbia, held to 50 by the weak Swarthmore team, trounced Harr ird's conqueror, to the surprise of all. Harvard, beaten by Amherst, also did the expected, to a less extent, bV defeaUng TV est Point 5-0, though it does not seem that the West Point eleven is up to the standart ef Its team last year. Ykie. with I all of her 'Varsity men In line, disposed of Pennsylvania State decisively, but ie' vanquished eleven by no means ranks a first-class minor team. Tale arpaxent has a strong eleven of sturdy line and speedy backs, butJt la a question hether popular opinion has net exaggerat Eli's Ability because of the aice of 1 er acores, without paying particular attention to the calibre of her opponents.

Ta ke, for easmple. Trinity, Tutts, Vermont, Wesleyan, Holy Cross, and Pennsylvania State, these elevens do not rank with such minor teams as Williams, Amhers! Georgetown, and Lehlirh. Therefore It I be interesting to see what Yale will do irhen she meets Columbia a week from Saturday in New York. The Blue and Wh te in the three times she has mat Tale itnce has always managed to put up a pretty stiff article of football, and the -omlng game will no doubt furnish a gool idea of the real merits of the Blue elevei i. Harvard in ts game with West Point, even considering the sloppy field, showed that, up to dai its eleven is considerably behind the el 'ven of last year.

Faults were exhibited that certainly should have been eliminate 1 at least two weeks earlier in the season. The Crimson's best work was shown in running back the ball on punts, and Ni this year's find, especially excel; -d In this kind of. work. Harvard's Un however, was uncertain, and constants failed to exhibit the sort of defense or should expect from it. Harvard' mtei ference was poor, and failed to aid the mi with the ball time and again.

Had le Cambridge men concentrated their At ack better they would have advsnced the leather In much more effective style. Harvard considerably outweighed the vl torious team, and this combined with the fact that Harvard did not gainj as much actual distance aa did the cadets, made the Crimson's showing all the more lame i table. As Harvard is playing now it doe not seem aa if her eleven had a ehanc beat Yale in the season's chief big game Princeton ha. a hard row to hoe with the Carlisle Indlai s. but at the same time played a good game and always kept the ball at least rty yards from their goat So far as ludlr itlons point there was little with which tc find serious fault in the Tigers' play.

Interference and defense were both good and it appears that Princeton probably 111 be the eleven which will make the harr st strura-le with Yale this season. Come 1 had her hands full with Colgate, and indeed had some trouble in averting defeat The score ef ft 0 was eminently uneatl; nctory. although it is likely that Colgate is a stronger team than its gridiron reputation would presuppose. Cor-nell'e weaknep is partially indicated by the fact that in the first half Colgate advanced the ball forty-five yards without pause. Cornell looks te have a pretty hard time ahead Ith games with Columbia, Princeton, and Pennsylvania.

The first real big game of the local season cemes on Uurday, when Pennsylvania and Columbia are to meet at the Polo Grounds. Jud, lng from what the two elevens recent hava done the contest should be Inter atlng and shoutd bring out a good quality hard-fought football. The Quakers last season defeated Columbia comfortably, a id anticipate that they will be able to rep at the trick. Columbia on that point dleorees and with some appearance of re i son. in view of Saturday's game with Am lerst.

There is ever; indication that Coach Mor-ley did not nt his men to exert themselves against Swarthmore, for It is Incredible that ir three days' time any team could Improve i much as did Columbia between the tlm her men met Swarthmore and Amherst. It seems to be simply a case of strategy, a id one that was eminently successful. Col-, mbia played first-class football on Saturdny. The defense was fine, and, especially among the centre trio, rarely yielded. Tr greatest Improvement was noted, howevei.

In the fact that the men played togethei The team wa i not one of individuals, but it was a team with every man In every play. The dif erence that such combination makes wi clearly evident when it was remembci ed how poorly Columbia played at the start of the season, when each man depei ded on himself, and gave no thought of hia earn mates. Columbia's de-spalred-of ends were good, and the backs charged with teed and effectiveness. All In all Columbia has only to show the same sort ot footba 1 against Pennsylvania on Saturday to tnn ke Pennsylvania hustle, and possibly the iakera may go down to At the same time there were faults in Columbia's wot that next week must find eliminated if le team In to do the thlnga its admirers expect. Fumbling of punts must be done a way with, although last Saturday much this was undoubtedly due to the conditio of the field and the ball.

Holding in th line must be eradicated. This cost Colui r.bla eighty yarda on Saturday, and such penalising might prove fatal to any tear chance of success. There is also too area a tendency to off-side play, although thla tult was not so conspicuous as In past mat None the less. It cost Columbia one ouch-down. If Bruce is to continue to do the punting he must practice much with Tomlinson, who passes the ball to him.

Pennsylvania players, with one mors week's trainlni and ita consequent development of the knowledge of the game, have abown inprovement in some ways, though in othe -a they seem to have made no advance. The team is playing better together, thou the exhibition against Gettysburg was the loosest play-seen to the entire wee This may have been due to the easy ma nner in which Pennsylvania found opening; at all places in the Gettysburg line. Though that may be so, Pennsylvania's game waa not football that would win ags nst Harvard. The most cided improvement of the week was sho in the playing of Weede. candidate for 1 ft end.

and in Davis's play at left half ick. Weede'a light weight handicaps him but he has demonstrated such great abii ty in running with the ball that be now at mda a good chance of making a regular ace on the eleven, especially as he is far on defence in spite of his lack of weight Imvis Is really playing a fine half back game, backing up the Tins stropgly and ta lowing his interference better than any 1 nan on the team. In fact. Penn's back fiOd will prove to be about the best that 11 be seen this season. Smith.

Benne t. Drake. Davis, Reynolds, and Corson are i slxtet that Is hard to beat Corson at quaiter back Is really the only one of this nur iber who is sure of his position. This fan that a high grade of work must be maintained by those who play in the lmrfrtant games. The cripples are coming an und all right now, and in this respect Pe icsylvanla is fortunate, for Reynolds is tl only one who really la incapacitated.

Pennsylvania's large scores seem to have 1 ad the tendency of making the team vere mfldent. and at present thla seems to be tl a worst fault of the men. Coach Williams has several graduate coaches out ev ry day. and with their aid the evil is sure to be corrected. O'CONNELLfc WON AT FOOTBALL Klckhams Lost Chance to Play for Gaeli Thers was pi Championship, nty of vigorous playing in the football gnfne between the Kiekhams and O'Connells under Gaelic rules, at the West New Yelk Field Club grounds at Weehswken yesterday afternoon, but the result was not hst many of the thousand spectators expJotod, th Klckhams being regarded ss a most sure winners.

They were outplayed! fcowever, the score being 1 goal and points to 3 points against them. The Klckhams had defeated th O'Con-nelle by 10. points to 8 in the first game of a series between the two teams, and they needed only yesterday's "contest to entitle them to meet the Toung Irelands of Worcester. for the Gaelic championship of the United States.

Notwithstanding the' Care Taken General Belief Is That Stimulants Are Used on Metropolitan Tracks. Having traveled from America through England, France, an over Europe, and recently shaken ths structure of the Russian turf, the dope "frenzy has returned to the place of its creation and is worrying anew the racing authorities of New York-Evidence of how general is the belief in ths use. of "dope" may be gathered on any race day on a metropolitan track, for amateur detectives throng th saddling paddock and line the rails watching for any sign that a horse has been drugged with such earnest, vigilance that it would seem all but impossible for a horseman to use any form of stimulant without being detected.

The amateur detectives are on the lookout not for the good of racing, but for the benefit of their own betting operations, but they are as much a source of worry to shady trainers as are the watchful employes of The Jockey Club, whose purpose is to find evidence that may be laid before turf authorities. The Stewards are as much worried as are the watched horsemen, for the reports of th use of aPe crop up in almost every race, and every sudden improvement in the running of a horse, and these are of daily occurrence, is explained by the simple statement that the horse in Question had it." With all the watching there has been but a single case in the season where the us wauf Ini thftt JZ.Sr th drugged horse die lmft lean oonctlon.

In Published references to TrtSfti wa mych talk about the AH Bili the remarkable fact horse, after having been heavily backed, showed so remarkable a change In form, but the results of the inquiry by the have never been lHai1ti.pubiic- Ti" ction of the Steward, had the effect of convincing a great many skeptics that there is something in the 'dragging and "doping." ater alL and while nothing In the way of discipline waa accomplished, there was a marked Increase in the amount of scandal la circulation. the Trinity Bell episode, attention has been centred on the horses that race In three stables that are closely allied in that they employ the name riders, and their trainera are unusually friendly, while In their betting coups the owners seem to act as one.

The central stable possesses plungers in both owner and trainer, and when they bet at all the post betting against the horse is usually so short that none except those the know will ae-ttpt it. On the other hand, when the Stable does not bet, the price is apt to go to such outside figures aa to make astonishing comparisons. Hundreds of amateur detectives have watched the horses of this stable in the hope of seeing when the "doping" was done, and dosens of hired detectives have shadowed trainer and horses for hours before the races were run, but no tangible evidence has been gathered so far, though the operations of the so-called dope combination threaten to become the scandal of the racing season. A singular thing in connection with the failure of the official detectives to get evidence la that nearly every regular visitor to th tracks can point out half a dovn or more men who are known as "needle doctors," and who are asserted to make a profession of doping horses for trainers wh are not familiar with the uses of drugs. The needle doctors seem to have no other occupation, though they pose ss ordinary racegoers or in some few cases as veterinary surgeons, and all seem fairly rrosperous.

All of them have improved on he old method of injecting drugs hypo-dermically Just before the horse treated is sent to the starting post, for with all th watching they are subletted to none yet has been detected In the act of Injecting dope." At present the only penalty for drugging horses Is punishment bv the Stewards of The Jockey Club, which, by precedent established irf the case of the horse Dr. Riddle, is ruling off the turf, but it is probable that the alleged abuse of drugs in stimulating horses to speed in races will be called to the attention of the Legislator this Winter, and legislation providing a severer punishment by law will be provided. The matter already ha. been placed before the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who are in possession of a number of the prescriptions used and a lot of data concerning the effect of the stimulants most commonly employed.
