New York, August 22. Old Christy Mathewson yesterday looked Just as promising as a pitcher as he did about twelve years ago when he began winning ball games for New York and the Cubs were rudely stopped in their merry whirl around the eastern cities. The score was 8 to 2. It Is quite probable that had the Giants, been able to count only two runs instead of eight. Matty would have won Just the same. He had the Cubs "buffaloed," and after the third inning he set them down round after round in playful fashion. On the other hand, a couple of exPhiladelphlans attempted to pitch for the proud Trojans and made a sorry mess of the Job. Eddie Stock got first chance at It and fled in great distress In the midst of a third Inning bombardment. Karl Moore took his place and pulled the boys out of that plight but was unsteady and Ineffective afterward and the Giants took delight In making the victory decisive.

By Charles ("Chick") Etui. How misleading the scores of games frequently are! Two players may have a four on a certain hole; the newspapers duly chronicle the fact and on the face of the returns the playing seems equal, yet the actual playing

varied widely In skill. For Instance: A drove a beauty and pitched his second nicely on the green. It sliced to tall grass to right; played a poor shot Just out; pulled a half-topped half iron to the left hand edge of the green and holed out, while A missed his putts by a hair's breadth. Many a time I have landed in practically the same spot as my opponent .and kicked Into a bunker while he has kicked Into the hole. It has been said that the great fascination of golf is Its uncertainty and surely there are a great many vital

things connected with the game over which the player has no voluntary control. For Instance there is the "luck o' the draw," a most Important factor In a tournament; for the two sides of the ladder are often vastly different. In addition there are a thousand and one little things that are so Irritating when acting adversely.

ACTORS WANT JACK JOHNSON BARRED

London, Aug. 22.- The engagement of Jack Johnson, the American heavyweight pugilist, by a London music hall, was condemned at a meeting today of the Variety Artists' federation. Regret was expressed that the rules of the federation prevent the executive committee from taking drastic action.

A resolution was adopted characterlz-

Newport. R. I., Aug. 22. Of the 148 tennis players entered, the thirty-third annual all-comers singles championship tournament of the United States National Lawn Tennis association on Monday, there remain in the list today Just ten. After a day of sensational tennis contests, in which the defeat of William N. Johnston by R. Norrls Williams was the feature, it was conceded that the standard of play had never reached the point of excellence which marked the present tourney. Williams required four sets in which to win, the scores being 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 8-6, but the margin of victory was far closer than the scores of games would indicate. The Callfornian was -forced to bow to the more finished play of his opponent, but not until he had put up a battle which aroused another record gallery in a manner seldom seen at the Casino courts.
