He established this last year, when he took the first ' cup with three victories. Hale played par golf on seven of the first nine holes and on his return trip he beat par three holes. On the sixteenth hole he over-approached and his ball landed far over the green, he took four putts and was down in six. This was the only bad hole he had, and had he made It in three he would haVe tied the record. His card follows:

. The Skokie player, however, was not the only contestant to play good golf, and a player had to make 81 or better to get into any of the three flight. Two flayers who made ' this score were not eligible for the second flight and lost out. In the third flight six players lost out, as there were ten for four places, all having an 81. Parker Noll of Wheaton and W. R. McCallum of Calumet tied for second with 78.

so-called road covered by the path

finder for the national tour from luka to within three miles of Corinth. The pathfinders passed over a different route than that laid down for the Glldden tour of 1910S. The silent running car plunging over washed out roads and gullies frightened . horses and .their drivers almost - to death. Hills that were steep and -washed out, roads that : were through running stream. and swamps which were flooded by recent rains, conspired with soaked red clay roads to make the day notable. There is yet 100 miles to Memphis of which sixty miles Is said to be good going. After the experience of the last three days the pathfinders are skeptical and no predictions are made as to when Memphis will be reached.

Boston, Mass.,. Aug. 14. "And then there' were six games." In the first real ball game of the whole set the Cubs defeated Boston yesterday by a score of 4 to 2 and made a clean sweep of the series with the tall enders, winding up their Invasion of the east In a highly creditable fashion. Big Ed Reulbach hooked up with rotund "Hub" Perdue in a pitchers' battle. Before starting out Reulbach

was handed a round trip ticket with

the information that it was good for a boat ride only, and that if he did not

go to the finish he would have to walkT swim or drown in the sea. Big Ed made sure of finishing and Perdue

would have done equally well if he

had not been benched for a non-hitting pinch batter.

1 It Is doubtful If an international

yacht race was ever sailed that was more closely contested or more productlve of Interest than yesterday's race In which Patricia of the Royal 1 Canadian Yacht club defeated Michlcago of the Chicago Yacht club. 1 The dominion yacht, while cleverly sailed by Skipper Gooderham and his

Canadian crew, had more than an even break In luck, and even at that barely beat the American representative across the finishing line. The vic

tory was gained by a margin of nine seconds and gave Patricia Its second leg on the Richardson great lakes trophy. If Patricia wins in today's race the Gooderha mcraft will take the international title across the border, while If Mlchicago Is able to come back the series will stand two each and a fifth race will be necessary tomorrow. Yesterday's contest was a thriller and the result was In doubt from the time of the getting away until the finishing cannon waa fired from the Judges' boat. The leacf swung first to the Canadian and then to the American, with the eleemnt of luck figuring prominently more than once. The flukey wind conditions favored Patricia oftener than they did the Mlchicago.

TOM SHARKEY SEEKS BATTLE New York, Aug. 14. Tom Sharkey today announced himself as a contender for the white heavyweight championship of the world. Sharkey

expects to gain this distinction after a long period of retirement by taking the measure of Tommy Burns, whose defeat by Jack Johnson gave the latter the world s title. Sharkey says he has been led to believe that Burns wants a return match with Johnson and expresses his own willingness to arrange a match with Burns "under any fair conditions the latter may name."

Jones, manager of lisrhtwelht cham

pion Ad Wolgast, received a wire this

morning from Billy Gibson of . the Madison Square A. C. In New York, confirming the offer made to Wolgast for a bout with Packey McFarland.

'The bout on the terms mentioned

six rounds for $22,500, with no decision by a referee looks good to me," said Jones, "and I have advised Wolgast

to that effect in a telegram."

Jones will go to Cadillac on his way

to New York early next week. Jones picks Joe Mandot to defeat Rivers In

their Labor day scrap, and is betting that way. However, he sayB he hopes he loses his bets, as he believes Rivers would be a better card than Mandot in a bout with Wolgast on next Thanksgiving day.

Billy Gibson of the Garden Athletic club and Jim McMahon of the St. Nicholas A.

Gibson, who ' made one futile trip here In an effort to get Jack's fist to a set of articles, has the edge on McMahon In the dash, having taken a morning train, while McMahon Jumped an afternoon rattler. Lil' Artha declared last night that he wasn't particularly Interested In which ione got to him first. Both promoters looked alike to him, he said, being perfectly willing to box. for either one or both, provided they meet his price. "However," "chortled the champion.

be it understood and provided that while, I'm not going to show any preference to either one of the gentlemen, there'll be no fight In New York on Labor day In which I participate unless I get that $30,000." '
