There's the world's championship staring him in the face, but how the deuce he Is go ing to get past those blasted Americans who are in his way, goodness only knows. It is a Ions time since the English were placidly confident that no other race could beat them at golf. Ten years ago they got their first shbck when Travis headed the field at Sandwich. Three years later they got their second when the Frenchman, Massy, beat all their professionals, and last year young Francis Ouimet routed Vardon and Hay, and from that blow they have not yet recovered. The English are at last beginning to ask themselves who they have to put up against Ouimet, Travers, "Chick" Evans, Lockwood, Herreshoff and the rest of the American invaders. The London newspapers are beseeching the defenders to prepare themselves for the coming ordeal. English Not Preparing. So far, it seems, not one of the cracks on the other side has done -anything to get himself into real shape for the championship. In the meantime Ouimet is driving terrific tee shots over the championship course at Sand wich, and Travers is hammering away with his wooden clubs somewhere else. "One hesitates to think that the Brit ish players are allowing their business to interfere with their golf," says Mark Allerton. "The. alternative that our players .do not take golf as seriously as do the Americans is not more comforting." According to Harry Vardon, England has not so many first-class amateucs as she had 15 years ago. He blames the rubber-cored ball for that, for It took a man of patience and determina tion to master the putting. England frankly admits that patience and de termination have been applied by the first-class American amateurs in mas tering the new ball. The experts on the other side think, nevertheless, that they have a few players who have a "reasonable" chance of success against the Americans. There are several who, according to the "book," ought to beat them. Ball "l'lnch Hitter." There is, for instance, they point out. " John Ball, eight times champion, and still in the field for several more cham pionships. It is notorious that Mr. Ball takes an Interest in a match only when something really difficult has to be done to insure victory, and so the Eng lish are relying on him, if need be, to keep the title in Great Britain. Then there is Harold Hilton, with his four championships, and his experi ence of the play of American golfers. There is Robert Harris, too, last year's runner-up, who is certainly due a cham pionship. There are many sound for eign critics who strongly fancy Mr. Harris chances. Perhaps this year's necessity for leaving nothing to luck will induce Robert Maxwell to enter. Mr. Maxwell is not fond of playing in champion ship meetings, but this year, it Is hoped, he may conquer his dislike. Mr. Larsen must not be left out of ac count. In some respects his game, we understand, is not unlike that of Trav ers. He is not a long driver; he is an excellent putter; he plays with dogged determination, and gives much thought to his strokes. For one thing we must hand it to the English, and that is their easy con. fidence. "The chances," we are told, "are all in favor of a British victory, but the British players will have to lose no time in getting busy on the links." The Britishers are being warned that there is not the slightest probability of the Americans practicing them selves into stateness. They went over in plenty of time to enjoy a rest be fore the great struggle begins. PENOBSCOT TO DEPEXD T1TIK. Keen Contest Over Steeplechase Honors Expected This Year. NEW YORK. May 2. One of the keenest contests on the New York race tracks this year is expected to be the scramble to dethrone Penobscot as the champion steeplechaser. This five-year-old son of Yankee and Courtplas ter is the star of the R. T. Wilson stable. The president Qt the Sara toga Racing Association has the larg est stable of horses now quartered about the metropolis waiting for the opening of the season at Belmont Park on May 26, and all of them are now working out on the track when the weather permits. Altogether there are SI horses in his string, with Tom Healey as tralner-in- hief. Healy is giving nearly half his attention to Penobscot, however, as the competition for his crown promises to wax warm. Allan Pinkerton and F. Ambrose Clark are expected to prove the strong est competition with Gold Plate and Peregrine Pickle. The latter made his mark in Ireland but little is known here f his jumping ability. Gold Plate has laced the barrier 26 times in New York and vicinity and has come home in front no less than 14 times, though carrying top weight much of the time. An officer of the Jockey Club said to day that he had kept tab on all likely candidates for appearance at Belmont Park and that nearly 1200 horses are sure to be seen under colors at the meeting.

TITLE MELBOURNE IXMAX PROVES HIS CLAIM TO CHAMPIONSHIP. Meet Between Holder and Hoppe, of New York Likely to Anmc Interest Throughout Brltinh Ialea. CHICAGO, May 2. (Special.) By winning the British championship for the third successive time, Melbourne Inman demonstrated conclusively that he Is the premier professional at Eng- tsh billiards, occupying a Blmllar po sition, to that held by "William Fi Hoppe. of New Tork, in the realm of balkllne billiards. ' Inman retained his title by defeat ing Thomas Reece, 18,000 to 1J.826, In the deciding contest played. at Holborn nail, London. Reece qualified for this match by defeating George Gray, the Australian player. 9000 to 7211, and winning from Henry W. Stevenson. the Lnglish veteran. 9000 to 8885, in the elimination contests, but against the consummate skill of Inman he was outclassed. At the conclusion of the match In man was presented with the billiards championship by Lord Lonsdale, who ror many years has been a patron of the game and an officer of the Bil- lards control Club of London. Lord Lonsdale is probably better known In America than Inman. H has visited the United States and Canada a number of times, one of his most noted visits being when James J.

BT RALPH J. STAEHLI. IT was raining- pitchforks and every thing; eise, so the Major Domo and I decided that it was a good day to gro and see if the golf links were hold ing up well under the continued driz zle: That is; he decided and I followed. Now that game of "cow pasture" pool is one that always was a puzsle to me. I could understand how any man could walk 15 to 30 miles or even more in a day, chasing; that little round thing around the course and getting pretty warm, in Summer time, but to me it seemed like the last thing in the world for this time of year. Nevertheless I went. I had just got through reading, how Big Six Mathew son was taking up the - game so 1 thought I might get a "scoop" on a comparison between golf and baseball if the big fellow ever came around this way. Not that I see the least, comparison, but then he might. Well, anyway, that was about the biggest reason which started me out on a mission which seemed about as foolish as the quest of the Fountain of Youth or the Sixth Dimension. We were both half drenched before we reached the big lnterurban car, which took us to the scene of the slaughter. I broke three of my clubs trying to get the blamed things through the five or six doors of the car, but as there were only about 25 or 30 of the funny knobbed, hockey sticks I decided 1 still had enough to last me through the afternoon. Major Domo Inipreaaed. Only once did I balk. That was when we came to the top of the hill and saw about six inches of water on the pastures. Even the cows seemed to have the proper amount of common sense to keep out of the rain. The Major Domo. also seemed im pressed. "I think we are not quite properly equipped tot the afternoon." remarked he. "I did not think of -clothing for you." " I gave htm credit then for at least a grain of common sense.

His next words, however, made me lose all the respect I ever entertained for him. "You see. friend, golf is the one game wiiere you need absolutely all the freedom of action possible. There is no game where your muscles must be absolutely unfettered, so much as golf. "The good golfer must have force in his blow to make a long carry. Yet he must give the right Impulse in the di rection of the next hole. "Now, I have but one light silk shirt at the clubhouse so I suggest that you simply take off your coat and play in your shirtsleeves. CLf course cotton is hot as light as silk but you will then be better able to appreciate the light clothing when you next go out." Comments Stop Play. Well, we started out. I was too much amazed to say anything but about the 12th trial start, amazement had given way to disgust and I started to say what I thought of the ball, the clubs and golf in general. Immediately all play rtopped. not only with the major but with the other players. They glared and I thought they must be as bad as the Major, mentally speaking. I thought it was my opinion of the game which caused the riot. The next time 1 "teed" the ball sailed out in the moat beautiful curve. I thought that a good time to redeem myself in the graces of the others present. I started In to say that my opinion of the game had changed. Im mediately everything stopped again. 1 nope you 11 pardon my saying it remarked the Major, "but one of the first things of the game is to learn not to talk." "Not even when you break a club or an arm, swinging at the ground or tne air?" I qulried. 'No, not a word is spoken above a whisper," cautioned the Major. Whistle, Also Annoy. I took It meekly, but wondered what Mathewson did when lie "topped" a bal lor made some kind of a miscue in the game of cow-pasture pool; he who is used to having 40,000 yell their lungs out at him. Nevertheless I said not a word, but soon found out that anything I could do would be wrong. The next time I bad occasion to talk. I merely whistled and again proceedings stopped. After that everything went smoothly for a while. While the skies had taken a resDite when we first went out. it had begun to pour and my shirt and light coat, which the Major had found for me, were drenched. "As you are not a seasoned golfer. I am willing to call this off this time." spoke the Major in a condescending tone. "You'll call nothing off." I replied. "I shall get that white thing lr to that hole in less than ten shots if it takes all night." Bogey on the hole in ques tion, was only three, but it was mighty nara worn getting it there in ten. The Major was showing me some new things and I was standing on the west side of the "tee." "What time is It?" asked the Major. I had no watch with me. but told him I guessed H was about 4 o'clock. Sbadsw Bad Etlqaett. "Hadn't you better get to the other side, then?" said the Major with a smile. "You see you cast a shadow across the links and that is bad eti quette." It was raining all it could and J thought it a very poor joke. I told him as much. "Well, there Is no shadow now. but there might be. so it Is poor business," said the Major. We quit about dark. -Going back on the train I had time to ruminate over what had happened. I started to make notes, but found that it would take en tirely too much paper. I may - be awfully ignorant, but it will be a year before I learn anything about that game. "Well, I suppose this is the last we shall see of you for some time out this way?" said the Major. "Like fun, it will be the last time. I shall come out every day for a week and, believe me, the record books will soon' have to" put in a slug for a new golf champion, I remarked.-" And I meant It. too. Believe me: thai game looks easy but there is a lot to learn and I'll learn it if i have to go arouna tne nous in a bathing suit. Portland Rowing Club Has Member ship Campaign On and Prizes Arc Offered Tor I Vest Results. ' Havely Expected Soon. All is astir at the Portland Rowing Club; training season Is here; 32 new men have approached Captain Pfaender for a trial in the boats and prospects for the season are extremely rosy.- In addition to the new men there are about 25 of the experienced oarsmen and scullers working out. The appearance of two former college stars has added zest to the spirit. These, collegiate oarsmen are Lewis Mills, who rowed last year in, the Har vard boat that trimmed Yale, and E. A. Stevens, a veteran of the Cornell eight of '08-'09. Both these men are huskies. Stevens being 190 pounds of sinew, while Mills, who is the younger of tho two, weighs about 180 stripped. Mills is a son of A. L Mills, presi dent of the First National Hank of Portland, and made a place for himself in the athletic annals of Harvard; ho pulled No. 5 oar In the victorious Har vard eight of last Summer and made his letter In football as well. Mills played in the Yale game last year as a guard. Captain Pfaender and Coach "Dick" Hart hope to have Mills as a regular this year, for they believe that he will fill in nicely in the big senior four, which has been pretty much shot to pieces this Spring. Stevens is a fixture in the big four and pulls a strong oar. The "Dan Mur phy" stroke used by the local club is similar to that taught at Ithaca by the famous Coach Courtney and Stevens Is having no difficulty at No. 2 He rowed bow. No. 5 and No. 7 during his college days. Two'new lapstreaks (training boats) have arrived from Pocock Brothers, builders. Seattle, making a total of nine our-oared boats available for training purposes. These are ample to take care of the entire squad. Never in the history cf the local club have there been so many regattas to enter as are available to the local men. The 14 rowing season will begin Memorial day, with the annual Spring regatta at the Rowing Club; then fol low the Rose Festival championships In June; next is the stellar event of all. the annual championship of the North west under the auspices of the Pacific Northwest Association of Amateur Oarsmen, staged in Portland by the Portland Rowing Club. This event comes to Portland once every three years, alternating with Victoria and Vancouver, B. C Following that will be regattas at The Dalles. Or., and Coeur d'Alene, Ida ho; the Victoria Water Carnival in Au gust and the season ending on Labor day with the club championship at Portland.
