In the reseritatives had gained a big lead over Finn, while Keidanz had' hot won a game'. It must, however, be taken ln consideration that Finn has an adjourned game in hand against Keidanz, which the latter" will' probably win, and that Howell has played four games and Finn only two, so the latter may still tie Howell's score.

"We have just signed Erve Beck, second baseman for tho Cincinnati National League team, and I telegraphed him to join the Detroit team at once, although his time doesn't expire with the Cinciunatis until July 23. We have three other players almost signed, but I dont want to give their names until they are a sure thing. When we get them we shall be able to spare meu for the Baltimore team. Yes, we could spare Dillon and perhaps a fielder or two. The new men are selected for their supposed hatting ability." WIFE TESTIFIES AGAINST SELF.

Says Man Whom Husband Assaulted Had Been Meeting Her Constantly by Appointment. Some interesting testimony was given In the case of Harry O. W'arner of 284 Hooper street, a mechanic, charged by Charles Ernst, an employe of the Brooklyn Ferry Company, living at 301 Hewes street, with assault on June 26. The case came up before Magistrate O'Reilly this morning in the Lee avenue court. In the testimony Warner said that on returning toward nis house he saw his wife meet Ernst at Penn street and Bedford avenue; He had previously warned Ernst to keep away from his wife.

He had warned him, he said, "as a Christian brother," they both being members of the South Third Street M. E. Church. He followed them and his anger overcame his judgment. As he said in his testimony "I didn't do a thing to Ernst." When Ernst was unconscious he him to his own home and called In Dr.

Fiske, his own physician. Ernst testified that the meeting was accidental, as other meetings had been, and nothing but an honorable friendship existed between himself and Warner's wife. Mrs. Warner flatly contradicted Ernst and explained to Magistrate O'Reilly that their house on Hooper street was exactly in the rear of Ernst's house on Hewes street and that they had a well organized system of signals between the back windows, by which they made their appointments regularly, and that on the day in question they had made an appointment to meet at Bedford avenue and Tenth street. She said that there was absolutely nothing dishonorable in their friendship.

She has been married twenty six years and has grown up children. John D. Walsh, counsel for Warner, asked for a dismissal of the case on the ground of justification. Magistrate O'Reilly declined to do this. The evidence showed a clear case of assault.

Magistrate O'Reilly said that any one would have done the same thing under similar circumstances, but he would have to hold Warner for the Court of Special Ses sions. He paroled the accused in the custody of his counsel until the trial. TUG AND FERRYBOAT COLLIDE. (Special to tho Eagle.) Long Islnnd City, L. July 17 The tug boat Wallace B.

Glenview Golf Links, Chicago, July 17 Out of the sixty four aspirants for championship honors who qualified on Tuesday, only sixteen remain this morning, as a result of the first and second rounds at match play. As this meant only elsht matches this morning, the committee allowed' the players to EtiTt.

as best suited them. The day was ideal for golf, with a bright warm sunshine and a balmy southwest breeze. Conditions pointed to record scores to as the weak players have been weeded out, and it will bo from now on to the finish a battle of the giants. This is ladies' day at the Glenview Club, and' there Is a goodly turnout of the gentler sex. Ot the sixteen players who were left, the Lome club has two Phelps B.

Hoyt and Louis N. James, each a young player Of, exceptional strength and' promise. Princeton was represented by Percy Pyne, second, and F. O. Reli.hart, although the latter Is playing from Baltiisrol.

Lake Geneva was represented by Wralter E. Egan. Exmoor by H. Chandler Egan, On ventsia by Abram Poole, and Harold C. Smith, Skokle by George H.

Leslie, and Bel mont by Herbert J. Tweedie. It will thus be seen that the strong Chicago clubs with the exception of Midlothian and Wheatou, were well representeo. In fact, eight Chicago play. ers this morning lh the third round.

Pittsburg, too, felt sure of: a look in. with M. Byers, D. P. Fredericks and George A.

Ormiston. The Travis Byers match was the first away at 9:30. The champion was ia the bunker on second, after getting away a long drive, cut recovered and won tne first hole in to 6. Percy Pyne, second, Princeton, and George Lester, Skokie. were the second pair to get away.

The collegian was in fine fettle, and felt very confident. Each got away a good drive. The third pair to leave the first tee were Walter E. Egan, Lake Geneva, and George A. Ormiston, Pittsburg, who got off at 9:50.

The Smoky City player drove a large screamer, while the runner up of last year got into the rough stuff the left of the green and had to play out and around. Louis James, Glen View, and Ralph McKtttrlck, Louis, started at 10 o'clock. Each drove a beauty, and the gallery, which had gathered about the first tee, applauded vigorously. Walter E. Egan and.

George A. Ormiston made the turn with the Lake Geneva boy .1 up on the Pittsburg player. They were having a' see saw match and it was evident that it was. anybody's game. The first two holes were halved In 5 and 6.

Egan won the third, "Sleepy Hollow," 5 to 7, and the fourth In '4 to 6. "Lovers' Lane" went to Ormiston in 3 to 4, or 1 under bogey. Ormiston also won the sixth in 7 to 8. The seventh hole was halved in 4. Louis N.

James, Glenview, was 4 up on Ralph McKittrick, St. Louis, at the turn. Percy Pine, 2d, was away off his game, and was 4 down to Geogre H. Leslie at the turn. Although gallery Of several hundred followed the.

Travis Byers match, each match had a fair sized gallery. The players lagged badly ln getting off, and the U. S. G. A.

officials soon wished they had sent them away in regular order, as on the two preceeding days. D. P. Fredericks, Oil City, and Abram Poole, Onwentsia, were the fifth pair to start. At 10:20 Harold C.

Smith Onwentsia, and F. 0. Relnhart, Baltusrol, came out of the clubhouse, and were soon away. The Prince tonian had the honors. L.

L. Columbia, had the honor with H. Chandler Egan, Exmoor, and carried the bunker sifely. His opponent drove a beauty. This youngster Is certainly a coming golfer.

The last match was away at 10:45 when Phelps B. Hoyt, Glenview, and Herbert J. Tweedie, Belmont, left the first tee. After winning the first hole in 5 to 6. Travis halved the second and third with Byers, the Pittsburg player.

"Polo" was won by Travis in a par 4, one stroke under bogey, which made him two up. "Lovers' Lane" was halved In 4. or two under bogey. Travis won the sixth In 5 to 6. Byers won his first hole at "The Roundup," getting down in a bogey 3, while Travis required 4.

The champion came back by winning the eighth in 4 to 5. Travis ran down a long 12 putt on this green. The ninth hole, "Reservoir," was halved in 4, and they started for "Westward Ho" with Travis 3 up, and playing well within himself. The champion had gone out in 39, three under bogey, while Byers tied the colonel at 42, and was playing strongly and steadily. At the tenth tee Travis wa3 3 up on his rival.

Bogey for this hole is 5. Byers made a four and won the hole, as the champion needed 5. The eleventh, "The Grove," was halved in 3, or 1 under bogey. "Sunset," the twelfth hole, with a bogey, of four, went Byers in 3, Travis taking bogey figures! "The Bridge" went to Byers In 5 to 6 and the match was all square. They halved "The Roost" in three, and "Spookey" in 5, bdgey figures" for each.

hole. At the sixteenth "The Orchard." Byers was down in a four, and won the hole, as the Garden City man required a 5. ThlG' made Byers 1 up with two holes to go. The "Log Cabin," the seventeeth hole, was halved in four, and Byers was dormie 1. Amid a scene of wild enthusiasm the players reached the home green.

No less than 1,200 peoplo gathered about the green and thronged the club house veranda. Each man was careful, and neither would take a chance. The champion measured the distance with extreme care and played the odd. His ball lay dead six. Inches from the hole.

Byers, too, measured his distance and took no chance. The Pittsburg player knew he was 1 up and played only for the half. He overran slightly but had the easiest kind of a put. Travis holed out. It was up to the Smoky City man.

He never flinched but dropped the ball in the cup, halving the hole and the match was won by i up. E. M. Byers is a Yale man, class of 1901, and was college champion last year. He played the prettiest golf In the last nine holes that has even been seen in an amateur championship tournament.

His driving, approaching and putting were absolutely flawless, and this, too, with a handicap of three holes against him. as the champion and the young Pittsburg player made the turn with Travis 3 up. Byers' game was simply unbeatable. Travis played par golf or better. Ho beat by throe strokes going out and three strokes coming In, but this was not good enough to hold down the Pittsburg golfer.

The latter outdrove and outputted the champion time and again, and showed the form and nerve of a veteran. The result upsets all calculations as regards the championship. It was confidently expected that Travis would dispose of Byers, though by a close score, and work his way to the finals. "I have only ono thing to say about my defeat," said Mr. Travis, "and that is that Mr.

Byers played a little better game than I did. He earned his victory, and therefore deserved it." It was the consensus of opinion among the gallery that Travis never played a better game. He simply ran up against Byers in a phenomenal golfing streak and succumbed to golf which would beat any man. Travis had 39 for the round while Byers regictered 35. As Travis was out In 39 his total was 78, Byers had a 42 out, bogey figures and a total of 77, or one under the champion's.

The Glenview Club contingent went wild over the defeat of Travis, as they now feel sure that the championship will stay in the West this year. Byers was one under fours for his Jn round, a pretty performance over any course. The defeat of Travis took the interest out of the other matches and there' was very little excitement as the seven other pairs came straggling In. The cards: Travis, out Byers, out Travis, in Byers.

P. Fredericks, Oil City, very steady, and the Pennsylvanian was 3 up at the turn. The doctor may be a championship possibility. Fredericks topped his drive at the tenth tee. Harold Smith and F.

O. Relnhart, the two Prlncetonians, reached the tenth tee with the latter 4 up. Reinhart went out in 42. Smith was plainly beaten. H.

Chandler Egan found a worthy opponent ln Dr. L. L. Harban of Columbia, but the Exmoor lad had his Eastern rival 4 down at the turn. It looked at the turn as If James Fredericks, F.

O. Reinhart and H. C. Egan were sure winners, as they all seemed to have their matches well in hand, and were playing steadily. Phelps B.

Hoyt and Herbert J. Tweedie had a nip and tuck struggle to the turn, where the Glen View man was 2 up on the Belmont player. Tweedie, however, was playing the steadier game. The crowds began to come early this afternoon, and the ladies' day reception promises to be a pleasant feature. Many bf the beaten players have gone home, but there are still upward of 100 left.

W. E. Egan and Ormiston halved the first and second holes, in 5 and 4, bogey figures. Egan took the third, 5 1, Ormiston slicing into the trees, going into the ditch on his second. The fourth was Egan's, 4 6, Ormiston finding the trap bunker.

Ormiston won the fifth', 34 Ormiston squared the match by winning the sixth. The seventh was halved, 4 4. Egan took the eighth, 4 5, and Ormiston the tenth, 5 6, Eagan going into the stream on his second. Egan again took the lead at the twelfth, 4 5, Ormiston's put trimming the cup. Egan also took the thirteenth, Ormiston's approach finding the brook.

Ormiston took the fifteenth, Egan missing a three foot put for a half. Egan took the sixteenth, 4 5, making him dormie two. Ormiston won the seventeenth. He topped his eighteenth drive, went into the trees on his second and lost the hole and match 2 up. medal scores follow: Egin: Out 54544S44 442 In 6 3 4 6 4 6 4 6 544 S6 Ormiston: Out 54763745 445 In 5 3 5 7 4 5 5 4 644 89 H.

B. Cory, the Boston and Florida, veteran, left for home on Tuesday night, unable to qualify among the flrst sixty four, which was a bitter blow to this old timer. Cory had lots of good company. One of the surprises of the day as the defeat of A. G.

Lockwood, the great Allston player, by Di D. P. Fredericks of OH City. in the second round, by 5 and 4. Dr.

Fredericks is a comparatively, unknown player. Lockwood used a solid gutta percha ball. Walter Egan. Is In top form these days. The Harvard and Lake Geneva man ran down a forty foot putt on the fourth green, in his match with H.

F. Moore. In the second round. The Western crack wound up with a. ftftfcen foot putt on the home green ln the same match.

At the end of the second round on Wednesdav night the Metropolitan Golf Association had only three representatives left among the sixteen survivors. These were: Walter J. Travis of Garden City, V. O. Relnhart of Baltusrol.

Percy Pyne 2d, of Princeton. Dr. L. L. Harban; of Washington was the only other Eastern man among the survivor's.

Travis. Carnegie and Horstmann were In tho troupe In front of the score board. Horstmann attracted a gallery by continually advising Carnegie to "bet 'em a library." It was even money and take your pick. When It came to betting, on the E. Egan G.
