The golf match between Walter J. Travis and Findlay S. Douglas, in the United War Work campaign exhibition, over the links of the Garden City Golf Club yesterday afternoon, in a way found history repeating itself. Travis won on the home green, even as he did eighteen years ago in the final of the national championship. The winner's margin was 1 up.

Approximately $3,000 was raised for the cause. That phase of the program began just prior to the start of the players, when Frank M. Bacon, President of the club, asking for bids on the scoring privilege, and also for caddie rights. Martin W. Littleton paid $100 to be the official scorer, and he also bid $250 to be Travis's caddie. Howard Maxwell bid a similar amount for the privilege of caddying for Douglas, and he suited the action to the word by carrying the clubs. Instead of Littleton carrying for Travis, the job was turned over to a small boy.

After the match the auctioneering was renewed, the object being to dispose of the much-prized putter with which Travis won the British title at Sandwich in 1904. The bidding quickly mounted up, until L. H. Lapham of the home club topped the list with a bid of $1,700. Lapham then did a thing which was appreciated by every one, making a present of the putter to the Garden City Golf Club.

As was expected, when Douglas kept straight he had the greater distance with his wooden clubs, but lack of control landed him into much trouble. He kept out of the pitfalls fairly well on the outward journey, and, thanks to a steady streak of putting, more than held his own with the Garden City veteran.

Travis lost the first hole after twice being in trouble. Douglas, who had reached the green on his second, won in 4.

Travis showed all his old-time cunning at the second hole, where he supplemented a mashie shot over the sandpit with a neat ten-foot putt for a 2. Douglas also had a chance for a 2, but failed to give the ball quite enough force.

They halved the third in 5, and then Travis won the long fourth, practically 500 yards, in 4. The veteran got that "bird" by a beautiful third shot that left him no putt to speak of. Travis was 1 up then, but Douglas squared accounts with a 4 at the fifth hole.

Travis took three putts on the sixth green, which cost him that hole. Douglas was therefore 1 up, and, after a half in 5 at the seventh, he became 2 up, winning the eighth in 3, by holing a fifteen-footer. The hole is 357 yards long. Douglas missed a short putt at the ninth and lost that hole, but turned for home 1 up. Douglas was out in 40 to Travis's 42.

Douglas rolled up a long approach putt dead at the tenth, and won there with a 4 from his opponent, who had twice been in trouble. That made Douglas 2 up again, but he took three putts on the next two greens, losing at No. 11 and halving the next. The way they played the twelfth hole is worthy of mention. Both found the big pit guarding the green on their tee shots, and, after recovering well from the sand, fussed around for three putts each. It looked a certainty that Travis would get a 4 there, but he missed a wee one of scarcely two feet. A little later the veteran squared the match by winning the thirteenth in 5, Douglas overplaying the green on his third shot.

Sad putting marked the efforts of the players on the fourteenth green, but as Douglas had reached the zone in the immediate vicinity of the pin in a stroke less than his opponent he managed to win in 5 to 6. This saw Douglas 1 up again, but that was the last time he looked like a winner, as Travis won the next two holes. Douglas got into so much trouble at the fifteenth that he finally conceded the hole, while at the next he never had a chance after his drive caught the trap.

A beautiful recovery from a trap near the seventeenth green enabled Douglas to get a half in 5 there, when he appeared almost certain to lose the hole. That carried the match to the home green, and as they halved in 3 it left Travis a winner by 1 up.

Both were credited with a round in 86, the card reading as follows:

 

While preparations for the opening of the Horse Show at Madison Square Garden today were receiving the finishing touches and some three hundred horses were being exercised on the tanbark, the men responsible for this week's exhibition in aid of the United War Work campaign, together with the judges and some of the prominent exhibitors, including many army officers, were the guests of John McE. Bowman at a horse show breakfast yesterday in the music room of the Biltmore Hotel.

Covers were laid for two hundred inside and outside of the huge horseshow table. Among those present were Alfred B. Maclay, Reginald C. Vanderbilt, E. R. Bowne, Arthur G. Leonard, Thomas E. Wilson, John R. Thompson and Guy Woodin of Chicago; R. J. Skofield, Treasurer; Charles W. Smith, Secretary, and Frank T. Clarke, Superintendent of the Horse Show; James G. Marshall, Charles A. Baudouine, George B. Hulme, Carll S. Burr, Clinton B. Seeley, E. Vonder Horst Koch, J. A. P. Ramsdell, Bexley Hocombe, Alden S. Blodget, H. Stuart Hollis, George Willing, William H. Wanamaker, William T. Hunter and Harry D. Holloway of Philadelphia; Hamilton H. Salmon, Fred S. Field of Brockton, Mass.; I. J. R. Muurling, Louis Haight, William Durland, Ernest Iselin, E. S. J. McVickar, Thomas J. Regan, James J. Fox, Guy A. Ward, W. S. Blitz, George A. Coleman, W. A. McGibbon, Peter Hauck, Jr.; Major John K. Brown, Franklin B. Jourdan, W. R. Coe, Major D. O. Nelson, Rufus C. Finch, G. D. F. Leith and Major Alfred Wendt.

Reversing the usual order of things, the judges of the Horse Show will tonight give a dinner at the Manhattan Club to James McLean, President of the National Horse Show Association; Judge William H. Moore, Robert A. Fairbairn and Alfred B. Maclay, the four men who have made possible this week's unreserved benefit for the United War Work Campaign Fund.

Judging at the Garden will begin at 11 o'clock this morning. The following is the program for today:

 

The fastest paced half-mile of the season for the Harlem Speedway was returned yesterday by M. S. Kearins's bay gelding, Lustrous McKinney, at the Road Drivers' Association seventh Fall matinee. The Kearins gelding, in winning the 1:05 pace, covered the half-mile in 1:00 1/2 in the second heat.

Opposed to Lustrous McKinney was Moe Aronson's Hal Direct, and J. F. Fisherty's Lillian W. In the initial heat the three animals got off on a line and raced to the quarter pole abreast. Then Hal Direct and Lustrous McKinney broke badly and Lillian W. won handily. Kearins, first to get his pacer under control, brought Lustrous McKinney home second. The time was 1:03.

Kearnins' gelding kept its stride throughout the second heat, but was forced hard by Lillian W., which was beaten only a length. In this heat Lustrous McKinney continued its good work in the third heat and won by more than a length from Hal Direct, in 1:03.

Silent Sister and Oakland Boy, Jr., indulged in a pacing duel at 1:10 which went to Silent Sister in three heats. The other three-heat victory was registered by Gene Carpenter's Bessie Baron in the 1:09 trot.

Lustrous McKinney's victory in the 1:05 page, placed it within one point of J. Leonard's Silent Sister for the year's pacing championship cup. Leonard's mare has 23 points while Lustrous McKinney has 22. Countess Kohl is third with 16. In the trotting division American Girl leads with 29 points and Kitty Justo has 25. L. Albano's Pavana is third with 19.

 

Pelham Bay Naval Training Station's football machine rode roughshod over the eleven representing the Peekskill Naval Range at Travers Island yesterday, winning by the one-sided score of 49 to 0. The Pelham tars completely outclassed the Peekskill team. Lear was the leader in Pelham Bay's scoring, annexing four touchdowns.

The line-up:

Touchdowns—Lear, 4; Ged, 2; Hannen, 1. Goals from touchdowns—Nordstrom, 6; Christie. Substitutes—For Pelham Bay; Ducan for Rafferty; Siegler for McShelley; Hannen for Nordstrom; Wakefield for Ged; White for Wakefield; Blaine for McMahon. For Peekskill: Curley for Nelson; Carmody for Truz; Von Day for Duval; Kelly for Sorenson; Small for Curtis; Field for Tauscher; Curtis for Small; Referee—Tom Thorp, Columbia. Umpire—Mr. Andrews, Yale. Head linesman—Bernie Wefers, New York A. C. Time of periods—Ten minutes.

 

William Stokeley of the St. Christopher Club scored his eighth successive road running triumph yesterday in the series now being conducted by the Morningside A. C. over a Harlem course of about five and one-half miles. Stokeley easily outdistanced a field of six rivals. His time was 25:44, and he was leading L. Milofsky of the Kings County A.A. by about one-quarter of a mile. Milofsky wrested second position from M. Seinfeld when Seinfeld was stopped by a pain in his side.

The order of finish:

William Stokeley, St. Christopher Club, 25:44; L. Milofsky, Kings County A. A., 27:43; M. Seinfeld, unattached, 28:16; G. Thompson, High School of Commerce, 28:44; P. Kalivas, Morningside A. C., 30:04; M. Primoshic, St. Anselm's A. C., 30:26; N. Ralph, Morningside A. C., 32:50.

 

José R. Capablanca and Boris Kostich divided the honors of their return match adjourned from the final round of the international tournament at the Manhattan Chess Club yesterday, when, after a difficult ending in which both had to exercise the utmost caution, a draw was agreed to after fifty-six moves. At that stage, Capablanca had a queen and two pawns against Kostich's two rooks, but the latter was in a position to enforce the draw by means of a perpetual check.

It was the second draw between the two leaders, winners of the first and second prizes, respectively, and neither was defeated in any game of the twelve each contested.

 

NEWARK, Nov. 10.—Bob Spears was the star in a bicycle meet run at the Velodrome this afternoon for the benefit of the United War Fund Drive, at which $1,1561 was realized. Spears won the ten-mile open race and beat Frank Kramer and Alfred Goullet in a special one-mile, three-cornered match race.

 

Collegiate football organizations of the country bid for 1918 laurels with as delectable a dish of gridiron tidbits Saturday as has been offered in several seasons. Few of the institutions so well known in intercollegiate ranks lacked representation in teh long list of scores, and those elevens which in the last few years have been placed among the leaders again exhibited such prowess as to be accepted again as ready for the spotlight.

Glenn Warner's Pittsburgh Panthers came out of obscurity for the first time this season and ably demonstrated the usual Pittsburgh power and dash by smothering Washington and Jefferson by 54 to 0. With the veterans McLaren and Easterday in the back field, Pittsburgh again seeks gridiron laurels of the highest.

The showing of the Panthers was such as to raise the hopes of football followers for a battle pre-eminent when Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech get together later this month in a game for the War Work Fund. Georgia Tech rolled up 128 points against North Caroline A. and E., a well-drilled and conditioned aggregation. With such scoring possibilities the Tech-Pittsburgh contest should develop into one of the greatest gridiron feasts ever concocted.

Two more the leading elevens of the East added brilliantly to their season's records. Rutgets smothered all opposition offered by Penn State and swept aside Hugo Bezdek's charges by 26 to 3. The only balm enjoyed by Penn State was a field goal kicked in the first few minutes of play. After this score Rutgers seemed beset by a fury which drove Penn State almost off the field. Foster Sanford has developed a back field in Gardner, Baker and Kelly which, with the hlep of Robeson, the giant negro end, seems the most formidable now playing. Once in action and speeded up to its best strength, Rutgers is almost unstoppable. Charley Brickley, who played against Rutgers a week or so ago, says that the Sanford pile-driving line attack would dishearten any opposition. Brickley's team was beaten by Rutgers 40 to 0.

Syracuse added Brown to its 1918 victims alongside of Dartmouth, and it may be consoling to Dartmouth adherents to learn that Brown was handled even more severely by the up-State farmers. Syracuse rolled up 53 points against Brown, and only let down when it appeared as if the Providence eleven was not going to be able to stand the punishment. Syracuse has crowded into the Eastern football limelight with such certainty that it now is to be figured among the leading elevens of the year.

Pennsylvania, after a series of misfortunes which almost disrupted the team, seems to have regained its proper sphere, since the eleven hammered its way through that of Lafayette for a victory by 34 to 0. Penn sent an entirely new backfield into the game against Lafayette, and the line was so shifted that few of the spectators knew the lineup. The new team gave promise of offering some kind of opposition to Pittsburgh when the two elevens get together soon.

New York seems to be represented by a football eleven of ability once more, judging from the efforts of the Columbia team to bring fame to itself and its coach, Fred Dawson. The Union team was totally unprepared for the slashing attack of Columbia's backfield, and went under promptly and decisively. With Robb, Houlahan, Shaw, and Collins alternating in carrying the ball, Columbia pounded the Union forward wall to nothing, and rolled up five touchdowns. Columbia students are eagerly accepting as a fact that Columbia has the greatest football team that ever represented the institution since the days of Foster Sanford football there.

Fordham had a hard time getting rid of the opposition offered by New York University in their local football battle, but eventually, with Frisch outdoing himself, managed to win by 7 to 0. N. Y. U. showed unusual strength, and earned almost as much glory as that of the victor.

After having been denied a chance for gridiron revenge since 1905, Michigan went to Chicago and gave A. A. Stagg's eleven a 13 to 0 trouncing in the most exciting game played in the West. Notre Dame and Iowa also figured in prominent contests.

The Harvard Informals got started on a 1918 journey by taking advantage of a momentary lapse on the part of Tufts and scoring a 7 to 0 victory. Harvard will not engage in many games, but it seeks victory with a representative team.

Opening the cup tie competition for the benefit of the United War Work Fund, under the auspices of the Southern New York State Football Association, at Lenox Oval yesterday, the New York Football Club qualified for the second round by defeating the Macomb's A.C. eleven by the score of 4 goals to 2, after leading at half time by 2-0.

At a meeting of the American Football Association, held in Newark, the cup game between New York and Paterson was ordered to be played at Paterson Dec. 1. New York, however, will carry its protest up to the United States Football Association.

Presenting a formidable team against the Queen's Rangers in the War Fund cup game at Bay Ridge yesterday, the Morse Dry Dock eleven won handsomely by 6 goals to 0, scoring three in each half, and earned the right to play New York in the second round.

Clan MacDuff's soccer eleven obtained the verdict by 4 goals to 0 against the Fulton A.C. in the first round of the Southern New York Associations' cup series for the War Work Fund at Lenox Oval yesterday.

The Longfellows of Brooklyn captured the honors in the War Fund Cup with the Manhattans at Bay Ridge yesterday, winning by 3 goals to 1.

Defeating the Vikings by 4 goals to 1 at Astoria yesterday, the White Rose eleven entered the second round of the State Association Cup competition for the War Fund.

The Triangle and Speedway elevens had a stubborn struggle for supremacy in the New Jersey League at Bayside Park in Jerset City yesterday, the game ending in a tie with a score at 2-2.

The Prospect Football Club won its cup game with the Newburg F. C. of Newburg, N. Y., by default.

<section end="New York Eleven Victor" /> <section begin="Gunners Have Low Scores" />

Not a single straight score was returned at the Sunday shoot of the New York Athletic Club over its Traverse Island traps yesterday. A high wind whirled the targets all over the lot and the nimrods were mighty fortunate in being able to hit any of the tiny clay birds. George J. Corbett, Chairman of the committee, was the high scratch gunner with the low total of 89 out of a possible 100 targets.

In the shoot for the Red Cross Cup legs were scored by G. W. Derrick, W. R. Delehanty, and A. P. Walker. In the Tournament Cup race a leg was scored by F. Ham. These gunners all had full cards of 25 targets. G. W. Derrick and M. Howe scored in the Byronel Cup shoot. They each had 49 out of 50 targets.

Today the New York A.C. nimrods hold the first of the big shoots for the War Charity Funds at Traverse Island.

The scores:

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

NOVEMBER 11 to 18

This is one of a series of seven announcements, each prepared by one of the seven great organizations that are coming before the American people this week in a United Appeal for $170,500,000—which sum has been approved by the U.S. Government.

[[File:New York Times - 1918.11.11 - 12 - Advert - United War Work Campaign.png|center|500px|alt= keep 'em smiling!

War Camp Community Service is keeping smiling through its organized hospitality and entertainment 150,000 men a week in New York City alone.

Ten thousand man a week sleep at its big hotel and clubs.

It serves 80,000 meals a week.

It gives from 300 to 500 automobile sight-seeing trips a week.

It distributed weekly 80,000 free tickets to the best Broadway shows.

Five thousand men attend its dances.

Five to six hundred officers enjoy its hospitality, use the clubs which it has opened to them, go to the hotels where it has secured them half rates.

But big as it is, New York City is only a small part of the United States. As a member of Uncle Sam's great family, your hospitality to his fighting sons extens from Key West to Seattle, from San Diego to Boston, in 224 completely organized communities, and reaching 368 more.

From the time the boys entrain from home for camp until they embark from port for service overseas, you, through War Camp Community Service, are taking the place of their home folks. Through this Service you big them good-bye with a smile.

Has any one for a moment supposed that you are goig to let up on your share of the cost of this hospitality before you have cheered the boys back up Fifth Avenue and returned them into the arms of their homefolks, with the same victorious smile with which you are now sending them overseas? ]] <section end="Adverts" />
