New Herreshoff Sloop Launched Recently at Bristol, R. for Harold Vanderbllt. TURF GOSSIP. ,1 COPYRIGHT There has been some discussion recently of the feasibility of certain chauges in the regulation of golf tournaments and particularly the all important annual evei't upon which hinges the amateur championship of the United States for the year. The two major propositions, which have been made, and which find some backing among players who have considered the matter, are first, that when the tourney has progressed to the semi finals, the lour survivors shall play a round robin, each player to meet every other, and, second, thai the champion shall not be forced to play through the tournament, but shall defend his title in a single challenge match against the winner of the tournament.

Tho latter idea has long been in practical use in the tennis world, where the title holder plays only in the challenge round. The round robin scheme has also been tried by tennis semi finalists, notably at Xahant, last week, and seemed to give satisfaction. Its practical application to golf fixtures, however, has never been attempted. The claim has been made thai this method would afford a fairer test of the relative strength of the four semi finalists than tho system in vogue. This fact finds general assent, were it not for the fact that the four survivors are seldom the four strongest players in the field, would seem to he an equitable and interesting arrangement for the concluding play of an important tournament.

Destiny, however, seldom decrees thai the four players of the greatesi class should reach the ultimate matches, and supporters of the present system contend that very little interest would ordinarily attach to the greater part of the six matches which would be necessary under the round robin scheme. It Is obvious that this idea would be absolutely unfeasible if undertaken in the round previous to the semi finals as no less than twenty eight matches would be necessary for a round robin among eight players. As regarda the challenge round idea, the comment has been made that the amateur champion deserves a certain amount of consideration, in recognition of his feat, and that it would seem Just to allow him to defend his title in a single match against the. player who shall have proven himself the strongest of the aspirants for premier honors. The fact that this plan has been decided equitable in lawn tennis has been pointed to as having weight.

Opponents of the idea say thai the unexpected happens more often in golf than in tennis and that the stronger golf player Is more often caught off his game and put out by one of ordinarily inferior force. These uge that, where such an important matter as the national golf championship is at stake; the champion, like every other player, should be obliged to take the chances of competition and establish his right to the retention of the title by consistent play in a series of matches and not in a single contest.

Brooklyn and New York In the last half of the filth inning, as It enabled several hundred fans to set under cover from one oC the worst storms thai ever broke over tho Polo Grounds. It is doubtful, however, if Umpire "Bob" had any regard for the comfort of the spectators.

If he had he could have called the game in the third inniiiR, as it was every bit as dark then as It was at the time he walked majestically up to the plate and announced to the agitated populace: "Ladies and Gentlemen always uses this preliminary in addressing the audience, from force of habit this game is not called. We are going to wait and see if it gets lighter." "Bob" had undertaken an impossible contract, unless ho proposed keeping the people waiting until breakfast lime this morning. A lively shower had raged just before the game, and as the contest progressed a thick pall, constantly broken by vivid flashes of lightning, came sweeping down from the north and gradually gathered over the ball field. In the meantime, the two teams were making a hot race against time, the apparent intention being to complete four and a half innings before the rain came, in order to avoid tho necessity of giving out 5,000 rain checks. The Brooklyn management was just as anxious to get in the game as New York, because the issuance of rain checks meant tho loss of a share of the gate receipts.

Needless to say, this had absolutely no effect on the playing of the Superbas, but the fans present had two interesting events to watch instead of one a red hot ball game and a race to a finish between tw ball teams and the elements. For once, Jupiter Pluvius won out. This was due to the magnificent pitching of Christy Malhewson and Roy Thomas. displayed splendid managerial judgment in putting in the box, for his grent speed was just the thing to win out I against time under the conditions. He was a bit wild, to be sure, but when he got the bal! over, which was unite frequent, the Superbas could not hit it.

As he averaged a strike out to an inning in the five played, it will be seen that he was the right man in the. right place. Brooklyn was shut out 2 to in the game. It was evident at the start that the team that scored first would be the winner. The Giants clustered two runs in the fourth by rare good luck, and that gave them iho game.

A fluke alone saved Now York. The Superbas got men on bases in every inning except the fifth, but the needed hit was not forthcoming. The tiuke that saved New York came in. the third. Sheckard led off with a single and was (lancing around first, when Matty made a low throw, the ball slipping like a rifle shot through McGann's hands.

Sheckard slid into the base a 1 the ball struck him in the ribs and fell dead. Had Jimmy not interposed his anatomy the ball would have found its way to the fence and Sheckard would have reached third. He would have scored eventually. As it was, Sheckard was left at third. Evans pitched great ball against his old team and received brilliant support until the fourth, when the Giants won the game.

The two runs wpre chargeable as much to Evans as anybody else, although Irwin figured in the scoring materially. Some time after 7 o'clock last night the New York fans left the neighborhood of the Polo Grounds, satisfied that Ihe light Ems lie expected would not be forthcoming until to day. DIAMOND CHIPS.

A. O. meet each year is the mecca of the best oarsmen in the United States and Canada. The regattas of the past three seasons have been held respectively in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. In picking out "Worcester for the contests of 1002 it is felt that the association acted wisely.

There is no city in the country where rowing has a moire powerful hold on the popular fancy than in the one Many finished performers have been turned out from, the New England town. It is the home and training ground of the' Ten Eycks, older and younger, who have always done their prellm inary trying out on Lake Quinsigamond. The international four oared and eight oared races will be over a course one mile and a half straightaway. The other contests will he rowed over the same distance with a turn.

VETERANS' CENTURY RUN. Event This Year Will Be Under Auspices of. Century Road Club of America. The annua! Veterans' Century Run, to be held on August 3, under the auspices of the New York State Division of the Century Road Club of America, promises to be one of the red letter events of the year in century riding. Secretary William G.

Meister, 660 Driggs avenue, Brooklyn, already reports nearly 100 entries. The start of the first division will be made from the Bedford Rest, Brooklyn, at 5:30 A. M. The itinerary includes some o. the finest roads and most picturesque scenery on Long Island.

Nearly every first class amateur rider in the East has entered and, this being the first long distance track event of the year, much speculation has been aroused over the outcdme. If Champion Marcus Hurley can retain his laurels in the face of the opposition from fifty of the best pluggers and sprinters in the amateur ranks, there will be little further question abput his superior abilities as a pedal pusher. There will be lap prizes and special five mile prizes to enliven the struggle. LETTER FOB, CARTER. There Is a letter at this office for "Kid" Cftlter.

McBride Stopped Carter Handler Fight, With Latter on the Floor. 1 CRICK BOWLING TRIO TB TOUR TIE WEST. 'Johnny" Voorheis, the New York Star, One of the Team. AL" SELBACH THE CAPTAIN. Peterson of Chicago Completes the Trio.

Many Valuable Prizes Offered. The "All American Bowling Trio," which is to leave Chicago on October 1 next for a tour of the West and the Pacific Coast, under the management of Sam Karpf, well known in local circles, has been finally selected and promises to be the strongest combination ever sent out on such a trip. Al Selbach, ball player and bowler, who manages an alley in Columbus, when he is not playing professional ball, has been chosen captain of the team. Selbach has figured prominently in the national tournaments at Union Hill, Chicago and Buffalo, and is considerel a crack throughout the country as well as in his native' state. The second member is none other than Johnny Voorheis, champion of Greater New York, who will represent this state.

Voorhies is considered the greatest little bowler that ever lived. His record on local alleys is sufficient to prove this. He is at home anywhere in tournament bowling, and he will prove the mainstay of the team in probably every match. Ernest Peterson of Chicago will complete the trio. Next to Freddie Clinch, who won the individual championship recently, Peterson is considered the best bowler in the Windy City.

The trip of the All American trio through the bowling centers of the far West and the Pacific Coast will not only give the pin knights of the most remote bowling centers an opportunity to learn and study the various styles of delivery as used by the cracks, who have been selected to make up the trio, but will also give the alley owners an opportunity to learn the true reason why the game has proved and Is still proving such a successful winter pastime In the far East. The bowlers in cities to be visited by. this "all star" aggregation are being offered a large number of handsome and costly prizes, so as to discover which cities have the best players. This will also go a long way toward bringing about closely contested battles. The principal prizes offered are three diamond studded trophies in the shape of medals or lockets, valued at $300.

These prizes are open to all who oppose the trio, and will go to the team of three making the best showing in a single series, which is to consist of five games. There are any number of special prizes open to the bowlers of the various states. To the bowler in the states of California, Colorado, Washington, Utah and Wyoming making the highest score in any single game while playing against the All American, either as an individual or member of a team, will be awarded a handsome gold headed cane, donated by Samuel Karpf, secretary of' the American Bowling Congress. There will be three other prizes to go to the alley or club whose team or players make the best one day's record against the trio. They are as follows: The trophy, open only to howlers of Minnesota, Montana, North and.

South Dakota, and Iowa. The "Scamelze7" prize, open to bowlers in Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin. It 13 expected that the list of special prizes will be increased before the trip begins. TRIVIA A GOOD LOOKER. New Herreshoff Sloop, Built for Harold Vanderbilt, a Wholesome Looking Craft.

Trivia, the new sloop built at the Herreshoff works, Bristol, R. for Harold Vanderbilt, is now at Newport fitting our for a cruise, to Bar Harbor. The new boat is a wholesome looking craft, and although constructed with a view toward cruising qualities, can give a good account of herself in the line of speed when occasion demands. Trivia has a rather wide stern, with a full bow and high freeboard. Her centerboard houses under the cabin floor, as in the Buzzard Bay thirties, recently turned out from the Herreshoff shops.

The bow is brought up quite abruptly and the overhang forward is not more than 'half of that in the after part of the craft. Trivia is 42 taet over all, 34 feet on the water line, feet beam and 5 feet 6 inches draught; STONE CRASHING IN TRANCE. It is well known that the public highways of France are mot surpassed by those of any other country. The atone used, however. In their consumption is crushed by hand with hammers, the workmen often being seatod, and it is a long and tedious process.

In 1867 the improved macadamized highways of France had a total of 200,951 miles, while the length of unfinished highway was then said to be 174,667 miles, most of which is now finished. Crushed stone, however, is also used in buildings. In walls and for railroad ballast. It would therefore seem that here ffe a great opportunity for American manufacturers to Introduce' steam stone crushers. If one crusher even could be introduced to demonstrate the vast amount of labor to be saved' It would be an entering wedge for securing trade.

Good Roads Magazine. Maiden, at 10 to 1, was the winner of the six furlong selling race. Shaw just got him home a half length In front of the 6 to 5 favorite Cornwall. Three favorites and a like number of lonff shots won yesterday. The riding: honors were equally divided between Burns.

Odom. Redfcrn, Michaels. O'Connor and Shaw. Ben Howard never had a chance to get to the" front In the six furlong selling race. Michaels was shut off half a dozen times, and the Ben Strome colt finished full of 'running.

Senator Patrick H. McCarren pronted to the extent of $5,300 on Francesco's victory. His commission, together with that of Charley Dwyer, helped to drive the price against the stable from 6 to aown to to Craig Wadsworth' Juniper Lucky Bird has ended his racing career. He was being: schooled over the steeplechase course when he struck one of the Jumps with his fore leg and it was found necessary to destroy him. John Boden's Rosetint outclassed her opponents In the five furlong 2 year old race.

She was in front the whole Journey and romped home two lengths in front of Mount Kisco. The latter was a length before Michaelmas. Either St. Finnan has gone back or else he sulked. He is essentially a front runner, but he could not get any where near the van in the handicap, and in company with Sadie S.

and Cuspidor was beaten off at the end. Advance Guard will be a hard horse to beat from now on. The. Brighton Beach track is not well suited to the old campaigner, as the short stretch and sharp turns work against bis chances. Look out ior Advance Guard at Saratoga! Ondurdis was as quiet as a lamb going to the post.

She had Just about the same amount of speed as one also. Possibly her fractious conduct In her last two races was not due to natural causes. Her change in demeanor would indicate this. Songster was played from 100 to down to 30 to 1 in the six furlong selling race. The old cripple was making his first start of the year.

He had a lot of early speed, was well up the whole journey, and was only beaten a head for third money by Oclawaha. Neither Michael F. Dwyer nor" Charles F. Dwyer thought Franceeco had a chance to win the mile and a. furlong handicap.

Ethics was looked upon as the mainstay of the stable. The sole reason for starting Francesco was to furnish a fast pace for his stable mate. Francesco is a better colt than he has been rated. In his previous races this season his inability to carry weight has been the excuse made, for him when defeated. In the mile and a furlong handicap he ran the distance in 1:51 3 5, with 112 pounds on his back.

This is a performance that strands out as a most creditable one. Francesco set such, a fast pace that the other horses in the mile and a furlong race were never able to get to At the fipsh he was a length and a half in front of Advance Guard. Ethics finished strong, but ASvance Guard, with 329 pounds up, outgamcd' him to. the wire. How the values of race horses change.

Last year, after Roehampton had accomplished a series of victories, his owner, Jack Follansbee, was offered $25,000 for him. Roehampton, however, failed to fulfill the expectations of his owner this season and if offered for sale would hardly bring more than $5,000. Gold 'Heels' condition Is about the same as on Sunday. He still favors the injured leg when he walks, but there is no danger that the injury will be a permanent one. Cooling lotions are constantly applied.

Matt Allen believes he will in time effectually do away with the swelling, and he can be safely counted upon to race again. Master McFadden will find his services in demand if he continues to keep up hjs good work In the saddle. He rode a clever race on M. F. Dwyer's Michaelmas in the opening event, put' up a strong finish and landed the cold in third place, with 50 to Maid against his.

chances of winning. On Saturday McFadden rode as good a race on Clipper as any of the crack, riders could have done. Harry Payne Whitney and Herman Duryea, the joint owners of Irish Lad, encouraged by the success of that colt, have purchased of John E. Madden, the 2 year old colt Whorler, by Inverness Whyota. Whorler' best performance was In the second part or the Double Event, when he finished second to Whitechapel.

beaten half a length. The Srice that was paid for the colt is understood to in the neighborhood The decision of Clarence H. Mackay to sell his stable of horses in training has occasioned great surprise. That the retirement is only temporary may be taken for "an assured fact, for he will retain the mares Kamara Trigger and also Banastar. and will breed the latter to the two first named.

As many of the string as possible will be disposed of at private sale during the next two weeks. Those that remain will be sold at public auction. The closing race resulted disastrously to the players. Kallf was absolutely overlooked. The favorite was Leonid, which, from 6 to 5 at the opening, was played down to 4 to 5.

Billy Bar rick, the owner of the Belmont cast off, wagered $15,000 on the son of Hastings. Pearl Finder, the strong second choice, was second to Kallf, while Leonid could do no better than finish third. The winner's price was 20 to 1. Last summer, at Saratoga. Lucien Lyne was roundly condemned for his poor work in the saddle during that meeting.

Since then, chiefly through a winter passed at the New Orleans track, Lyne has developed into one of the best light weight riders on the 'Western chain of tracks. Lyne will again ride at Saratoga. "Packy" Ryan, owner of Roxane. is anxious to have the boy ride that mare in the Saratoga Handicap, next Monday, and has wired to the Harlem track soliciting his services. There was nothing artistic in the way that Otto Wonderly handled Bessie McCarthy.

His efforts to win were hardly satisfactory to the backers of that mare. Evidently the stewards were not satisfied with tho performance, for they had Wonderly haled before them, and that rider passed a very uncomfortable five minutes under the cross examination that he was subjected to. Finally the boy was dismlBsftd with a warning that careless rides on his part In tho future would not be overlooked. The chances of Ben Mac Dhul winning the six furlong highweight handicap were considerably lessened by putting up Gannon to ride. Still, the son of Ben d' Or Sierra Madra could hardly have won had the best rider in the land fbeen on his back.

Sadducee, after waiting on the rest of the field to the stretch turn, went to the front and won hard held all down the stretch by a length. Melsterslnger was third, beaten a length and a half bv Ben Mac Dhui. Isla had plenty of speed for half a mile. Clonmel had very little speed. There was very little play on Past, winner of the mile and a sixteenth race, her price receding from 7 to 1 to 10 to 1.

She was oft none too well, was in and out of pockets in the run down the backstretch, came through in the stretch, and, although she hung a trifle, a few cuts of the whip caused her to dart away from the others and she won rather handily by a. length, and a half. Choate was second and third. Loone weakened after making up considerable ground. Animosity and Mosketo were going easily at the head of the stretch, but quit when called upon.

BOTHWELIi AT HARTFORD. Hartford, July 29 William Roth well, known in the pugilistic world as "Young Corbett," arrived here fjom New York last Ho will select training quarters, which he states will be located at least five miles outside of the city.

In the open ehamplnnship of die Pacific coast Alec rettirneil the very line scores of 71, S3 and 7S. ReferrlnB to the play Mr. t'lintn plon remarks: "Alec mitli has alwnyp hepn nt il for the brilliancy of his pliiy ami for a rare power of xtrieatlns himself from (lillh ultles.

YANKEE BROKEN DOWN. Hanover Correction Colt Will Be Eetired to the Stud Will Not Train. Yankee has broken down and will be retired to the stud. The Hanover Correction colt only started twice this season and performed indifferently on both occasions. Of massive frame and with weak underpinning, it was impossible to give Yankee the preparation that other horses undergo, but it was the hopo of his owner, William C.

Whitney, and his trainer, John E. Madden, that on the cushionlike surface of the Horse Haven track of Saratoga he could be given sufficient work to ready him for some of his engagements at the Spa. Yankee however, went lame the first time an attempt was made to give him fast work. AHEAEN A SPECTATOR. Catcher Rooted for Brooklyn in Picturesque Style.

Hughey Ahcarn. the young Brooklyn backstop, whose name in private life is Hugh J. Hearnc, sat in Box 13 during the game on Saturday and rooted hard for the Suporbas. Hughey does not know until he reads this that he flirted with so unlucky a number. Otherwise he would never have been there.

Incidentally, it may be remarked that Hughey cannot explain how he came to be called Ahearn, but puts it down to the peculiarity of the base ball reporters up the state, who tried to make his surname sound euphonious. Hughey has been in a bad way since he ran up against Jennings' head in one of the Philadelphia games. He has been under a doctor's care, the case being diagnosed as one of badly bruised ligaments about the knee, which have put Hughey temporarily out of business. This explains why Hughey had the opportunity of witnessing the game as an ordinary citizen on tho grand stand instead of in uniform on tho field. To say that ho rooted for the Superbas is unnecessary, but his methods were entirely different fro the ordinary run of fans.

Hughey did not get up on his hind legs and heller as every other Brooklyn fan did, but he went about the business in an expert way. directing the men on every play as if he were on the coaching line or on the bench or even in tho, game itself. After the play had been completed Hughey sat back in his chair with tho self possessed satisfaction of a general whose instructions had been followed to the letter and listened to the plaudits of the crowd as it the cheering were his entirely. Hughey started his rooting right on the jump. Vheu two strikes had been shot over to Jones by Donovan, Ahearn learned far forward in his chair and said, Just as it the Brooklyn pitcher could hear him: Dunny, slip over a fast curve." If there is anything in telepathy Donovan must have heard his comrade, or else the pitcher or Duke Farrell were up to the trick.

At any rate Donovan whipped over a curve and Jones fanned. A minute later McGraw lifted up a foul fly, back of the plate, and Hughey did some more coaching. "Come on, Charlie, you've got it nailed, he shouted, and Charlie nailed the ball as he was told. In the second inning George Smith came to the bat and had two strikes on him. "A fast, straight one, waist high, Dunny, for all your're worth," murmured Hughey.

"You know you struck him out seven times in two games in the Eastern." But perhaps the yelling of the crowd diverted the sound waves, for Donovan shot up an Incurve and Smith belted it to center for a base. Hughey shook his head as If his advice had been wasted. In tho same inning Donovan came up with two men on bases, and it was evident that "Wild Bill" intended to bunt. "Whip it down to flrsty' cautioned Hughey, but again the sound waves were intercepted and Donny bunted toward third, with the result that Irwin was forced out. Hughey was all O.

K. on his next. Sheck ard came up to the bat. Ahearn issued his orders. "Now, Jimmy, wait for a high, fast one, and drive it to the fence.

We need these runs to put us in the game." Sheckard most certainly heard, for he waited and met a high one. as per orders, and laced it to deep right center for two bases. So it continued until the finish, and when IWwas all over and tho Suporbas had won, Hughey rose Jauntily in his chair and remarked: "We certainly won a good game." There was a ring of self satisfied confl dencc about tho "we." CORBETT 'AS REFEREE. "Pompadour Jim" Will Officiate in New Role at McGovern Rothwell Mill. James J.

"Pompadour Jim" Will Roferee the McOovern "Young Corbett" Fight at Xew London.

Sam Harris and his charge. Young Corbett, however, refused to have anything to do with the old base ball umpire and referoe of hundreds of scraps. When the objection of the Westerner was received it was decided to pick a new man as soon as Rothwell arrived In New York for the purpose of training. Harris and Rothwoll met by appointment in a New York Rothwell had three, names marked out. George Considine, Dick Roache and Charlie White.

The first two were vetoed immediately by Harris and it looked as if Charlie White would referee the fight. Harris, probably thinking the unfortunate ending of the last fight, when White officiated, held out for some one else. Finally he proposed Jim Corbett and the suggestion was welcomed by the other side. James J. Corbett, the heavyweight, has never been prominent in the llnetof referee ing.

Usually the artists of he ring fight shy of their own craftsmen for referees. THAT INTEBOCEANIC HIGHWAY. Dear old friend of my childhood, fond recollection of my bicycle days, dream of my early manhood, how little you have changed since first we met, five and twenty years ago! Your placid, macadam face is Just as it was a quarter of a century ago, when you and I were young together, and your length from the Atlantic to the Pacific has not lessened a single Inch. Transcontinental Highway, I am glad to see you back in business at the old stand in Rumorville. My old friend has new promoters now, tho automobile enthusiasts: but he's the same old.

old sixpence. He and I know that the same old performance is to be gone tnrougn with once more. We'll have the usual preliminary newspaper yarn, the appointment of the committee of prominent citizens, the route announced, the benefits shown, the petition to Congress, and then the placing of my old friend on the shelf, there to calmly await the ripening of a now crop of well meaning but visionary enthusiasts. Bless my soul! but It really does make me feel young again to see this aged friend of mine trotted out again to do duty as a space filler in the daily papers. Pittsburg.
