Jerome Trover In uow on the record breaking golf game that marked bis play before be won the national chum ploushlp laat year, when be gained the distinction of 72, 72144 for St. An drews and the Dew amateur records of 69 for the Nassau Country club, Glen Core, N. a., '71 t Hollywood, N. 3., 08 at Montdalr, N. J, 44 at Rosevllle on hie first eight of the course and 60 at Ekwanok. Yt The Montclali couree record wbea Travers moved to that place wae Allan Kenniday's 74, wbtcn only Will Anderson, the former open champion, ever, wae able to lower by a etroke. Travera cut It to 71 In 1000 and laat year cut It to 70. This year, after two rounds In 60, Travera did 08. The course la so narrow, only of 8,000 yard, that It le as bard to score over It aa one of 0,600 yards. Travere Is not tbe only amateur who la scoring very well tbls season, but the Montdalr 68 would Indicate that be will make a good defense of bla title In September at Garden City, N. I. This la now more than ever the favorite stamping ground of W. J. Travis, who hold the) amateur rec ord of 70, while recently II. n. Barker. despite the new hazards, bus recorded the professional record for Garden City of 60. necently Flndley 8. Doug las, tbe former amateur champion, lowered the A pa warn la (Rye, N. Y.) amateur record, one of long standing, from 7.1 to 71, nnd another ei-tltle holder, II. Chandler Egan, baa this sea son reduced the record of the Louis ville course to 67. The former title holders, ft evident, are In the record breaking ranks with tbe present cham pion, and Trovers will not lack for rivals at Garden City when the time cornea to tee up. Warren K. Wood. one of tbe Inst year's wrniiflnallsts. has mado two new record! this month. 71 at Ilomewoml and 73 at Normandle. Will Anderson, who won the western open championship for the third time! last June at the Normandle Golf club, 8t Louis, with 209. Is playing very well and wltl attend the- natlennl open ! championship Aug. 27 and 28 at the Myopln (Mum.) Hunt club. lie baa won the title In four different years and makes the journey to nioet tbe present open chnmplon, Aleck Ross of rtoitton. on one of bis home greeni Anderson will visit New York after the Myopia tournament and he Is ready to play a match or two during tbe eek of Aug. 31-Scpt 5. The profes sional tournament to have been held at Van Cortlundt park, New Tork, was canceled, but It may turn ap there will be a tournament there Sept 1 and 2, In which Anderson and others to come from the went for the open championship would be eligible to play. Tbat Anderson la to enter Is sufficient proof that tbe rumors that the western professionals were to boy cott the open championship were not true. DECISIONS MADE TOO QUICKLY Klem Saye Offlolals Cause Trouble by Deciding CIom PUy Hurriedly. Umpire Klem says that the general tendency of knights of the Indicator la to call their decisions too fast, before the play Is really over, and thereto hung neurly bnlf of the mistakes tbey make and of the trouble they have with the players and spectator. During one of the recent Pittsburg series in Chicago Klem worked very leisurely, so far as calling decision! was concerned. The time be took on some of them was noticeable to all. "I bave made un my mind tbat large part of tbe trouble we umpires nave and tho dissatisfaction caused by our dedslona come from the fact tbat we make them so hastily,"-. said Mr. Klem. "Naturally we want to make our de cisions sharp, clear and decisive, that very one may know we are not guess ing on what happened, but art thor ougbly convinced In the way we bave ruled. Lack of posltlveness In giving close decisions Is sure to bring on you a heap of trouble with the players, who will take every advantage of tbe umpire. "Still, there la an Immense amount of kicking because tbe umpire calls a ball or strike before tbe ball la actually over the plate, so that tbe break la really missed. That hurts either tbe pitcher or tbe batter, and a kick Is sure to follow. Tbe same holds true on base decisions that are close. We might just as well wait until tbe play Is entirely over before waving a run ner safe or out, and then we'll not hnve to change our decisions because something baa happened right on the heels of tbe play on which we had Just ruled: A little less baste will re sult In a good deal more accuracy.". NATIONAL RACE CLOSE SPENCER LOOKS GOOD. St Louis Catcher Compares Favorably With Othef Backstops. Without wishing to dim the luster of Billy Sullivan's crown, Eddie Spencer. tbo big backstop of the St Louis Amer icana, is entitled to rauk witn any catcher In Ban Johnson's organization. Possibly Sullivan of the Chicago Americana and Lou Crlger of tbe Bos tons bave seen their best days. "Nig" Clarke'a greatest season was In 11)06, although still a star backstop. Smith, Spencers team mate, Is coming fast, but the latter has matured to a point where be Is recognized aa one of the beet catchers In the business. Spencer has only one weakness. He la a slow runner, but bis weight makes him a strong enough bulwark to with stand any onslaught made by runners coming home. He blocks tbem well. 8pencer throws accurately to second, gets tbe ball away quickly and watches tbe bases Ilk a policeman guarding a trust company's safe. Fight For Pennant In Old Leagus V- very Exciting. FOUR TEAMS HAVE CHANCH A ; SUMMER DM nnssurg, now York, Chicago ' and Philadelphia All Putting Up a Past Game of Sail Long String of Homo Oamee May Help Giants' Chances. It has been said many, many times tbat the American league was "the 6lg snow." This was quits true In years gone by, owing to tbe runaway races In the National, but let It be said here and now that tbe National has this year laid claim to tbe honor, and un less things go amiss It will continue to bold It for tbe remainder of this season at least.

' ' rrrcHXB xo beclbach of thb ooioaoo HAH0SAX8. cago. to 'say nothing of the wonderful spurt of the Phillies, Is something strange In National league annals, and from present prospects It appears as though none of the teams Is going to let up. The wiseacres still pick Chicago to win, and they may be right, but the manner in which Pittsburg and New Tork are traveling along makes One believe that Mr. Chance's bunch of ball tossers will certainly bave to hus tle to repeat the dose tbey administer ed last season. The Cubs seem to lack the dash with which tbey were playing last year and have suffered from many Injuries, which must necessarily bave Impaired the strength of their personnel. Chance is playing but occasionally, Evers was oat of the game with a very bad ankle, Rung's catching has been away below par, and the batting strength of the club has been very ma terially, weaker than iu past seasons. Most Important of all, Brown Is the I only one of the Cub pitchers who Is a 1 reliable winner. I The Chicago crowds have lost con 1 fldence in Pfelster; Overall has been ! bit bard quite frequently; Reulbach's control has been very erratic, and Fraser, while a good "spit" ball pitch- ! er, is not so much to be feared. It will be impossible thla year for the Cubs to rest up their men and wait for tho big series, content in a big margin of victories. Tbey will have to keep i working as the American league teams , are doing now. When the big series comes along they will be as likely to blow up as their rivals. ' New York appears to have a shade the best of it, inasmuch as "it will play more home games than either the Pirates or Cubs, and this should he!; considerably, for even this year Mau ager McGraw's men bave maintained their reputation of being a great home team. But, after all, with tbe teams playli:? the great ball that they are putting up. it's a toss-up, and then Philadelphia must not be figured out of the run ning, while even the Reds, should they take on tbe streak that characterize J them just before and on the last east ern trip, might be considered factors. The one beauty part about the race is the fact that the Cubs are no long er Invincible. They had the majority of games won heretofore before they ever picked up a bat, but now it Is different The confidence that they have been accustomed to Is not there, for reports are coming In every day of Murphy's frantic efforts and fabu lous prices to obtain new material to strengthen his team with. McGraw Is going along at a nice clip. His pitch ers are working well, especially ' Mathewson, and wheu Matty is the Matty of old any team upon which he Is playing has a chance for tbe old flag.
