OLD RIVALS TO CLASH

Brown and "Matty" Paired

in One of the Cubs and Giants Games Today.

New York, Aug. 12. There fell another victim to the bonny Scotch game of golf yesterday when Battling Nelson undertook to learn the game and batted the tantalizing little white pellet all over the Van Courtlandt links. With a number of newspaper men as pilots, the Dane made the round in 125. To the surprise of every one, the Batlter whacked the first ball he ever teed in his life fairly over a bunker. Nelson wanted to bet that he could clear the obstruction and a scribe, wanting to clinch his bet, handed Bat

an old style ball that was about as lively as a cobblestone.' Bat took a

mid iron, asked what it was, demanded

the direction of the "gool" and let fly

A mob of wild-eyed caddies cheered the

'Mayor of Hegewisch" as the ball sail

ed like a bird over the mound and al

most to the green.

Bat's inexperience was very evident

thereafter. He approached the hole in

two and then came a cropper. It took

him thirteen to hole out. But the caddies never lost faith in him. The cas

ual who dropped in for a game and

wanted a caddy couldn't have hired one for love or money. They were on the reception committee and seeing to it that the lightweight champion got a welcome as became a citizen of O-Bar, N. M. Though the Dane tore up great patches of valuable green grass, he kept right at the game and announced at the finish that he was ready for the other philanthropists, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Nelson purchased his mid iron for a souvenir and that bat now becomes a part of the collection that fills half of his Hegewisch home.

le fracas on the west side. It will be Brown and Matthewson ln one duel and Pflester and Wiltse in another. Thus the king bees of the right and left handed deliveries will fight it out before what promises to be the record crowd of the season. President Murphy yesterday reported a tremendous advance sale of seats. The first bout will start at 1:30. Much depends on the outcome of the

bargain bill. From a local point of

view, the champs should storm the en

emy, especially with Brownie and Jack in their present form. The three-fingered wonder always has proved a stumling block to McGra'ws hearties, and the same applies to Pflester. The lanky side-wheeler when right can tumble

the Broadway gang in nine games out of nine. But when he's bad he's aw

ful.

"Big Six" Mathewson is the hope of

the Polo grounds troupe. The present season has been one of continued success for Matty and the champions anticipate a grueling time in the tussle

assigned to the "fade-away" fiinger. Wiltse is rated much easier by the seasoned west siders. Two victories ln a row will boost the cub stock, and close students of the dope predict some disastrous going for the dashing pirates, who will turn their attentions to the Phillies this afternoon.

Of twentytwo racing yachts of the New York Yacht club fleet which left Vineyard Haven yesterday morning on the run of 152 miles to Cape Elizabeth light ship, but three had arrived at sunset last night. Besides these there were a dozen steam yachts ln port. Commodore Arthur Curtiss James announced that the fleet would not proceed eastward until Friday morning, and possibly the cruise would end here, instead of Bar Harbor, as originally planned. He said that all but five of

the craft had been accounted for, and

these would be heard from later.

The schooner Elmina, owned by

Frederick F. Brewster, won the commodore's cup for schooners, being the first of the racers to arrive. She reached the light ship at 9:30 a. m., and entered the harbor at noon. Three

hours later the sloop Aurora, owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt, came in, the second in the race. The auxiliary schooner Intrepid followed an hour aft

erward, but was not in the race, having dropped out shortly after the start.

diminished last evening. The contest committee met last night, but up to an early hour had not finished the scorings. The convention and election of officers of the F. A. M. will be held
