It was a meeting of champions at the Morris County Golf Club links yesterday and the high grade of golf played was really marvelous. ATeuuy rounds were played in 'bogie figures, and golfers of world wide reputations were bowled over by other experts who showed greater form and more accuracy in their play. All previous professional and ama'teur records Vere broken by Findlay Douglas of ihe Fairfield County Golf Club, in his match with James A.

Stilliman of the Newport Golf Club, and a new amateur record of 76 'was established for the course. Tine best previous amateur record was 80, which was not a com beUiiva record, as it was made by James A. Tyng in a. friendly round with Jasper Lynch, during the week devoted 'to practice prior to present annual amateur championship tournament of the United Staites Golf Association. The professional record of 79, Willie Anderson of the Baltusrol Ciub, was made in a similar manner during the sarnie week.

Douglas, however, made his recoTd during the height of Che great struggle for the ama teeur champion ship, it being accomplislhed in tone presence of a gallery of many hundreds of spectators, all of whom were watching the match closely and dotting down the strokes for each hole on 'the regular score cards. He clmpjy played phenomenal golf, doing the course in threes, fours, fives and two of fine hoil es in six each. It was golf such as has never been seen before upon 'the links. In lact he did his mooning round in 80, which equaled the made by Tyng. He went out in 40, iwteoh is 'the bogie for the first nine holes, and came in in 40, which, is two better than bogie.

He was. 3 up on Stiliman at Jihe end of the first eighteen holes, Stilknan also having played great golf, going out in 41 and eorming in in 43, making 84 for the round, four strokes beWnd Douglas. On this account tthe crowd which foil owed them ovej the links was almost as large as that which followed Travis and Keene. The killing pace set by Douglas in the afternoon was more than Stiliman or anybody else could overcome. He made the first four holes In.

12, a distance of 1,017 yards, while at the end of the sixth hole, 1,692 yards, he had only exhausted nineteen strokes. He got in trouble playing the seventh hole, losing a ball and paying the penalty, which cost him five for the hole. The next two holes, however, he got in four each; making just thirty six strokes for the first nine holes of 2,823 yards. He was then 8 up on Stiliman, with 9 to go. The match ended at trie very next green, by Douglas capturing it, 433 in the bogie of 4.

It certainly was astounding golf, and Stiliman was beaten by 9 up and 8 to play. The officials present, as well as the spectators, induced Douglas to play for a record, so he and Stiliman completed the round, which resulted in the new record. Their scores by strokes are as follows: Findlay Douglas, Fairfield: Out 44434654 640 In 4 4 5 5 4 4 4 5 5 SO Out 4444 3454 4 36 In 46654344 4 40 76 156 A.

A. W.P It Is Believed That the Top No tchers Would Not Leave the League Chairman Mott Gives the Firemen Permission to Hold Their Meet at Berkeley Oval Tp morrow Mineola Fair's Big Entry List. "At the present time the general public is aware that there is a very weighty crisis in cycle racing circles; it has heard that the League of American Wheelmen has suspended a big racing association, and among others, Manhattan Beach and Berkeley Oval tracks. It has heard, also, that this association and these tracks have been shamefully abused, antl as the average New Yorker thinks the association and the tracks that occupy the center of the stage here are the whole thing, it is beyond doubt the case that he looks to see the metropolis take the reins of racing, fracture tbe league's spinal column and banish Chairman Mott to the realms of oblivion." Thus spoke a well known follower of the sport yesterday not a professional racing man, nor a professional official or promoter, but a father of amateur racing for years past and a careful student of the cycling situation of all times. "But there is a factor that must be reckoned on with great care, and that is the despised racing man.

Poor and humble as he may be, risking his neck for a few dollars in prizes or a pacing salary, it is the rider who has the key to the situation in the palm of his hand, and as he dictates, so the fight will go. "Now, which way will this be? The racing men are prone to condemn the league, just as all professional athletes are prone to chafe at a hand that restricts them at times, and this disfavor has been carefully cultivated by the promoters who want to secure control of the sport. But there are men in the racing ranks, and in the front ranks, too, Who possess mental acumen enough see the benefits of such rigid censorship as the league has exercised over the game and who will adhere to the League of American Wheelmen standard until the league gives up its control. JThere may he a thousand third raters and pacemakers who would go to the North Pole for a few dollars, allured by the golden prospects that an unbridled round of ras lng promises to their unthinking minds. But without Bald, McFlarland, Stevens.

Cooper, Gardiner and the other top notchers in the sprinters' ra.nks and 'Michael and the other pace followers, what would the outlaw racing amount to? The paced men might get along fairly well for a time, for the class is so limited, but the sprinters are not at all likely to abandon the league. Michael and Bald know equally well that, should the promoters of a meet fail to pay up the prizes they have worked so hard for, there is but one agency through which they can possibly collect, and that one tbe League of American Wheelmen. And Chairman Mott has Just shown the extent to which the league will go to protect the hard working racing man. Even if it requires the suspending of the biggest associations and the biggest tracks, it will be done. "A talking point has been made of the fact that the racing men now have no well known track on which to train in New York.

To which the thinking racer will return the query: 'What is the use of a track to train on unless we can collect the money we train, to Will a Six Days' Bace Be Held. The League of American Wheelmen Is said to have anticipated such a contingency as an attempt by the promoters of the six day races of '96 and '07 to rup another such race this winter. The returns from, those contests were golden indeed and tbe new racing board rule that prohibits contests for longer than seventy two hours was like faking so much money from the Income of these men. This rule is a part of the bylaws and reads: Nor shall sanctions be granted for any meeting which has upon its schedule an event requiring the contestants to ride a longer time than a total of seven'ty two hours for the entire raoe. nor for any race of more than twenty four hours' duration, in which at two hours' Intermission In each twenty four hours Is not required.

The alleged threat to run another six day race is met with the announcement that the league has arranged to blacklist Madison Square Garden, refuse the promoters sanction privileges and suspend every rider not only in this.couutry, hut in every other country in the International Cyclists' Association, should tho race be held. This makes the odds great ones and will not only keep the big men of this country, but also the foreign cracks, from competing. Minepla 's Big1 Entry List for "Bicycle Day." The bicycle day entries for the Mineola Fair promise interesting sport for next Tuesday. Tho novice haB a list of sixty three names; tbe half mile handicap has an even eighty; two mile handicap, seventy four, and the boys' race, eighteen, while sixteen teams have entered for the two mile tandem handicap. The professional races have claimed the names of such sprinters as Stevens, McFar lond, Mosher, White, De Martini, Smith, Babcock and others.

This is easily the finest professional list ever secured on Long Island outside of Brooklyn, while the fact that all of the best men of the amateur ranks io this section have entered for the other races leaves no doubt that the fair will be repaid for Its departure in establishing a bicycle day. On account of the lengthy entry list, the racing will begin at 1:30 o'clock. Firemen's Bace Meet at Berkeley Oval To morrow. Chairman Mott took one of tho heaviest cudgels from the hands of the men who are working to break the L. A.

control of cycle racing yesterday by exercising that common sense leniency which has characterized many of his official actions. When appealed to to allow the Firemen's Bicycle Club to run the race meet It bad scheduled some time agu to take place at suspended Berkeley Oval track to morrow Chairman Mott did not hesitate, but sent the permission. To have shut off this innocent club after it had gone to the expense of arranging a meet would have been a great hardship. But those who have followed the Chairman's recent rulings were never In doubt but that he would permit this meet to take place. A.

C. C. to Roll at the Elephant Club. Tbe social intercourse committee of the Associated Cycling Clubs of Long Island me; at Chairman Mullin's office last night and decided to wait until January 1 and roll the annual bowling tournament at Carruthers' Elephant Club alleys.

TENNIS AND LACROSSE. Crescent Finals in the Former "Will Be Played To morrow Lacrosse Practice Begins. Play in 'the fall tennis tournament of the Crescent Athletic Club was continued yesterday at Bay Ridge. In the doubles Bull an Powers, after losing the first set to Gray and Harper, struck their gait an had no difficulty in taking the other two by safe margins. Colwell and Dunbar did not have to exert themselves a great deal In their match with Lockwood and Macintosh, the latter winning only two games.

Schroeder's defeat by unbar was not looked for, hut Schroeder found the handicap too much for him. The final rounds of the tournament will be played to morrow afternoon. Bull and Powers will meet Schroeder and Starr in the semifinals in the doubles, and, as all four are expert players, some good tennis may be expected. The winner of this match will then meet Colwell and Dun'bar in the final.

Ernst Badly Punished by Dobbs; in Their Bout at the Greenwood A.

O. Garcia Knocked Out. Bobby Dohbs made very evident last night at the Greenwood Athletic Club the reason why the lightweights, supposed to be topnotchers, are dodging a match with him. His battle with Billy Ernst was the best of proof of his ability to fight. They weTe to have boxed twenty rounds at 138 pounds.

Dobbs made the weight, but Ernst refused to step on the scales and was fully ten pounds above the limit. Notwithstanding the weight Dobbs went on with the 'bout and had Ernst so badly beaten in the ninth round from terrible right hand blows, over the heart and on the jaw that Police Captain Kenny stopped the bout, Ernst attempted foul tactics repeatedly, but as he did no damage Referee Owen Ziegler simply warned him. He repeated his attempts to use the elbow several times after being warned, but as it was in the hope that ie would be disqualified and saved from a knockout the referee allowed Dobbs the cb anee to stop him. The bouts were the best yet given by the olub and jammed the house to the doors. Ernst immediately started to swing his right, but did not land until the second round when he sent it to the head twice lightly.

He had been blocking the colored man's lefts nicely but Dobbs got his measure in the third and jabbed his left hard to the face. He continued his jabbing in the fourth and toward the end of the round sent Ernst to the floor with a right swing on the Jaw. Ernst stayed down nine seconds. Ernst worked bis left well to the head, but Dobbs cornered him and whipped his left twice co the body and then swung hi3 right on the jaw. Dobbs forced Ernst hard in the seventh and floored nim witti a hard rigbt on the heart and, shortly after, knocked him down again with a right swing on the jaw.

obbs' body blows raad Ernst in distress and he was glad when the bell rang. Dobbs kept right on his man in the eighth and in the ninth again sent turn, to the floor with a right on the jaw. AVhen Erntst arose he was forced all over the ring and was on the point of collapse from the beating he had received about the body Captain Kenny stopped the bout. Terry MeGovern and Eugene Garcia met 'in the opening bou't of fifteen rounds at catch weights. MeGovern rushed in tbe opening of the second round, but Garc'ia side scepped prettily and let Terry go through the ropes.

He was up immediately and landed left and right on face and body, and in the third Jab bed his left repeatedly to the face, but was steadied with a right hand uppercut in the mouth. MeGovern fought uia man all over the ring in the fourtli, sending left and right to head and body. The fifth proved to be the last. MeGovern rusfaed Garcia into his corner and after one minute and thirty seconds of fighting. hooked 'his right to the Jaw, knocking Garcia down and out.

One hundred and one now members were added to the rolls of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences the first ten days of the month. This is a gratifying increase over the early figures of previous years, as may bo seen from tho following synopsis: Number of new members enrolled September 1 to 10, 1894. 20; in '05, 32; in '9G, 37; in '37, 50; and in '08, 101. Director Charles B. Davenport and Mrs.

Gertrude Crctty Davenport called at the Institute office yestorday on their return from Cold Spring Harbor, L. 1., where 'the Brooklyn Institute biological laboratory has enjoyed a most prosperous year under its new head. Although the regular courses of Instruction were comrluded in August, a number of the instructors and advanced students stayed into September to prosecute original work and thrtn; special students still remain at the laboratory engaged in research. For next summer Dr. Davenport, who is instructor in zoology at Harvard University, has in view a flattering offer to take charge of the Wood's Holl biological laboratory on the Massachusetts coast, but It is hoped that tbe Institute may be able to retain his ser vices and those of his accomplished "wife at Cold Spring Harbor.

i HOW HE GOT A REST. 'iH vv vvoli you look, Dibbs! When did you get haek?" "Get bat It wan my wife who went Chicago Hecord. cptrx sror HIT MAGEE. Th9 Little Pitcher Tossed the Ball Over th Plate and Laughed at the Efforts of the Locals io Hit It Kennedy's Cleverness Ml ads Void Baltimores Beat the Cincinnatis Other Games. It is not improbable that one half of the spectators at Washington Park yesterday were just aching for a chance to take up a bat and show the Brooklyns how to hit the ball.

The exhibition of batting, or lack of it, given by Griffin and his men was reprehensible, particularly as Magee, the Louisville pitcher, merely tossed the ball over the plate and then laughed at the ludicrous efforts of the locals to hit it. To those in the grand stand, the ball looked like a balloon as it crossed the plate, but to the Brooklyn sluggers it appeared tq be invisible. Whenever they succeeded" in hitting the sphere, apparently more by accident than design, the re suit ws a weak little fly, which the visitors took their time in capturing, acting ae if they were taking part in a mere practice game. It is not surprising therefore that the Brooklyns were shut out. This disgrace, to which the locals have become accustomed this season, was galling to Kennedy, who pitched as fine a game as any of the local twfrlers has produced in several years.

'He worked like a Trojan and had the Colonels at his mercy at all stages. His clever pitching made things easy for the fielders, which accounts fortheabsence of errors. But for a bunching of three hits in the fourth, the Colonels would also have failed to score. In that inning Hoy led off with a single, Hartzell followed with a bunt and both advanced on Decker's out. Ritchey's single to left brought them in with the only runs of the game.

The four hits credited to Brooklyn were well scattered, and only three men reached second base. Two were made in the second, however, but Hallman prevented their being useful by a foolish, effort to steal second. In the eighth Shindle reached second on a hit and a wild pitch, but he was caught at third on Wagner's fine stop pf a grounder by Grim. Jones reached second in the ninth on a base on balls 'and Smith's hit, but they were left. Grim had a narrow escape from serious injury in the third inning.

He had just made a magnificent running catch of foul fly by Clingman and tried to repeat the performance on a similar hit by Kittridge. He ran into the Louisville players' bench instead, striking his forehead against the roof that' protects the players from the sun. He fell, stunned, but quickly recovered and pluckily resumed play. A cut on the nose was the only evidence of the accident. Score: LOUISVILLE.

Other Games. It looks as if the Cincinnatis had struck their annual slide down the toboggan. Two more defeats were administered to them at Baltimore yesterday, and the indications are that more are coming. The consequences of this apparent quitting on the part of the Reds after their magnificent work since the season began are twofold. Those who believ ed that the Cincinnatis never possessed the sand to win a pennant are becomiing numerous, while many who bet that the.

Reds would not finish one, two are also making themselves known. Among the latter is President 'Pullman O'f tihe Lauisvilles, who said the other day that as far back as May 1 he posted $150 that Baltimore would beat out Cincinnati. With the customary friendship that the clubs of the respective sections manifest toward one another, Pullman expresses sorrow for Brush, but says that sentiment should not stand in the way of foresight and knowledge. Consequently, he feels as if that $150 was already won. The fact that Pullman's team has had considerable to do with Cincinnatis downfall adds to the sorrow felt by Pullman for Brush, but that has nothing to do with the $150.

Base ball is not a matter of sentiment, on the contrary, the leaders lfUUXkUL UVaVUil LIES irniiroH Ti fr, am 1 1 1 a nannc; cvni ,1 teams like Louis lllc, a very clear argument Chat the game, as conducted by owners aod players, is on the level. The first game at Baltimore was a conclusive bit of evidence that the Reds have decided that the pace is too hot for them. After the Orioles had scored six runs in the second inning, their nerve was gone and the Baltimores won by io to 1. Again in the second, the Reds led by 3 to 1 in the fourth, but stopped and permitted their opponeuts to walk away with the game. Boston won two games from the Browns, who got one run and six hits in the eighteen innings played.

Klobedanz held them down to two bits in the first, the champions winning by 4 to 1. The second game resulted in a shut out by 10 to 0. New York and Pittsburg broke even in a double header. Seymour pitched the first game for New York and received faultless support. Gettig pitched the second and the Giants made five errors.

Washingtou and Cleveland also played two games and divided honors. Both were slugging matches, the Senators scoring eight runs in one inning of the first contest. Rain prevented the two games scheduled at Philadelphia. Scores: At the Polo Grounds (first 1 2 3 4 0 7 9 R. II.

Bast and W. st Mrs. Camplll and on, Mrs. Wade and Mra. Ie W1U, 4V i The match which created the greatest interest of the day was that between Foxhall P.

Keene and Walter J. Travis. Although Keene is entered from the Newport Golf Club, he is also a member of the Oakland Golf Club, where he learned to play the game. Consequently the meeting between these men was more of a contest for supremacy between two rival club mates than a match for the championship between two men hailing from distant clubs. The spirited rivalry was apparent from the very start, both men playing ae though their very liveB depended upon the result, and when Keene won the first hole there was a triumphant smile as if to say: "Well, I have got you on the run." Travis, however, played with all the greater care.

Both men drove the green in the Becond hole and when Travis holed out on a forty foot put, there was a merry twinkle in his eye which was exceedingly galling to Keene, 'who lay dead to the hole in two and was down in three, one better than bogie, the two made by Travis being a record for the hole. They halved the next hole in four and then the seasawing began, as one would win and then the other, it being almost a case of hole about. At the conclusion of the first nine holes Keene was one up on the jnatch. He did not get leave to maintain it very long, as Travis won the tenth hole and honors were again even. The eleventh was halved in five and they seasawed on the next two, Keene winning the twelfth and Travis the thirteenth.

The next three holes were halved in low figures and as Travis captured the last two holes in succession tbe morning round closed with Travis in the lead by two up and Keene very much out of sorts. They were She firs; pair get away in the afternoon and owing 10 a bi'Jiier rivalry between them, tlhay followed by the bulk of 'the spectators. Traivis was keyed up to the height of Ms game and he played like a wizard, making 'the holes In bogie figures or bet'ter. He won the first three holes right off the reel, which gave him the lead in the mattdh by five up. Keene 'then won the fourth hole in the bogle of four and also made the fifth hole In the (bog)e of five, but it was of no account, as the wizard, Travis was down in three.

The sixth hale was halved in five. Keene won the seven'th by beating bogie, as Travis did the hole in the bogie of five. Matters 'Were reversed on the very nex't hole, Keene getting down in llhe bogle of five and Travis beating bogie, Keene won 'thendnUi hole, so at the turn Travis was only four up. The tenth hole was halved and the eleventh won by Keene in the bogle of four. The twelfth was halved in six and as Travis won the next two holes, it ended the match with a victory for Travis by five up and four to JIay.

Their scores by strokes follow: Walter J. Travis, Oakland: Out 5 2 4 5 6 5 5 In '4 5 6 5 5 3 4 Out 4 3 3 5 3 5 5 In 4 5 6 5 4 Foxhall P.

Coats made a spurt at tbe start, winning the firsL two holes in bogie and better and halving the third in the bogie of four.

This, however, only had the effect of stirring MacDonald up to the fact chat he iwould have to 'play golf it he expected to win. Consequently, at the sixth hole they were all even. The next two were halved in the bogie of five and alt the nintih hole MacDonald hejd the lead by one up. From this out he had (things pret ty much his own way, and at the end of the first round he held the lead by 8 up, which was almost a written guarantee that he 'would win the match in jjhe afternoon. Coats played a much stronger game In" the afternoon, making the first nine holes in 41 to the ex champion's 40.

MaaDonaM's lead of the morning, however, was more than he could overcome, as the former champion could win 'by merely halving the holes. The match was brought to a close at tho eleventh hole of the afternoon round, MacDonald winning "by 9 up and 7 to play. Their scores by strokes follow: Charles DlaJr MacDonald, Chicago Golf Club Out 5 5 446555 5 14 4 5 6 5 5 4 4 "5 513 4 4 4 5 5 5 1 3 610 4 5 3 M.
