NELSOH TGWHURD FOR W0L6ASJ BATTLE Dane Likely to Give Ad a Tough Fight in Milwaukee Ring.
Edward Ray and Harry Vardon, the British professional folf stars, won a 3and 2 victory over Charles Evans Jr., the Edgrewater wizard, and Warren K. Wood, western amateur champion, in the exhibition match staged at Ravisloe Country club yesterday. The touring experts excelled in the driving and approaching: departments of the same. The playing of Evans was of the spectacular variety at many stages of the contest. Inasmuch as his partner was decidedly on his game. The Invading players had a bestball total of 138 for the thirty-six holes of the course. In the morning
they negotiated the course In seventy strokes, and in the afternoon bettered the par figures for the eighteen holes by three strokes, making a 68. Evans and Wood brought in a 71 for the morning and 70 for the afternoon
round, their total score being 11. The best Individual medal score of the day' was registered by Evans. The former western champion had a card of 143, leading Ray by two strokes and
and no one could score. Zabel was allowed to retire after the fifth. Eddie Stack finished the
j game and the Pirates scraped In one
run off him in the eighth round.
An unusually large crowd of fight fans watched Battling Nelson go through his daily workout at the Nate Lewis gymnasium yesterday afternoon In preparation for his coming battle with Ad Wolgast. Although the fight Is one between ex-champions, the Dane could not be more painstaking in his work were it a real championship affair. Nelson is showing a lot of stuff and If he keeps on at the present training clip he Is bound to give Wolgast a hard fight. On the first day of the present year Bat Gave Leach Cross a
tough battle for ten rounds, and at the end of the match he had the New York dentist " feeling distinctly tired. Nelson has not dissipated since and with his present condition and early training work will be likely to give Wolgast the fight of his life when they meet In the Milwaukee ring. Wolgast is not making the mistake of under valuing the dane, however, and has also been taking workouts at his ranch near Cadillac, for if he beats Nelson he has been promised a match with Charlie White, and the winner will meet Leach Cross. Yesterday Ad opened Milwaukee training quarters at the Eagles gymnasium with Freddie Andrews as his training partner. He is taking road work every morning,' and this, in addition to his inside work, is putting him in fine condition for the battle.

Beef, : brawn and good fortune enabled a football eleven representing the Morocco high school to win In a spirited . game with Hammond high school at Harrison park Saturday afternoon by a score of 7 and 0. A Hard Lack: Game. Throughout the contest Hammond played in tough luck, losing ground on various occasions while within a
few yards of Morocco's goal. The final whistle found the purple and white waging war near the scoring line and just about to go over. It seemed apparent that Hammond would score. Although the local squad failed In a devout Intention to wipe out a previous Morocco victory they displayed
an advanced knowledge or the game that substantiates all flattering predictions. H.ammoad Openi strong. Hammond won the toss and klckoff. It was during the first few minutes that Hammond seemed to have a walk away. Mette made two runs for good gains. The tide, however, was suddenly reversed when Morocco ran the ball down the field for the first and only touchdown of the game. Goal was kicked. In the second quarter the Hammond boys had the advantage and
would have tied the score had it not
been for the blowing of the whistle. In the last half of the clash the pigskin see-sawed back and forth, neither goal being in much danger.
The visiting line showed its mettle by holding like a stone wall against
the rustles of the local eleven. How
ever, their back field, which depended
on Its weight rather than speed, was slow. J. Smart was easily Morocco's
star, playing a brilliant game at full
back and defensive center. Morocco's
specialty was in their forward pass Ing.i As a whole the work of the Ham
mond boys was good and Coach Smith deserves credit for his work in rounding, up the local squad. Captain W. Hess, Ewert, Mette and Hlrsch earned laurels for themselves. The lineups are as follows: ' Hammond Left end, Hirsch; left tackle, Bauer; left guard, Gavlt; center, Klee; right guard. Roth; right tackle, Ewert; right end, Mott, Lawson; quarter back, Burge; right half back, A. Hess; full back, W. Hess; left half back, Mette.

In spite of the bad rain a large gal

Had it not been for a brilliant play by Evans in the morning round the result would have been even mora decided. The former title holder holed out in threes from the sixth hole to the eleventh and squaring the match.
Ray took the sixteenth hole to the finish the morning combat one up on th amateur team. In the afternoon Ray and Vardoa flashed into a commanding lead, capturing the first three holes with per

ants on paper seem to have a better
chance to beat the Philadelphia Ath
letics in the world's series of 1918 than
they appeared to have of trimming the Mackmen or the Red Sox in advance
of the two previous contests for the ultimate honors, although the Athlet
ics, taken as a whole, can be shown
to be and. by some of the best judges,
are believed to be superior to the
team with which McGraw has won
three st-ght pennants.
This apparent paradox Is due to the
great value of pitching in a short se
rles like that for the championship of
the earth, and all the dope points to
the fact that the Giants are better
equipped for a battle of this kind than
the Athletics are. In a long struggle like that of a championship season. In
which every resource of a team is
called Into service, Connie Mack's team probably would prove stronger
than the Gotham aggregation, but ln a concise, sharp combat which can be terminated by winning four games the Giants have at least an equal if not a better chance than their American leagua rivals this season. This and what follows are predicted, of course, on the belief that both teams of champions will enter this week's fray with their full playing strength: that neither will be weakened seriously by accident, and that Doyle and Snodgrass will recover sufficiently to give their best efforts to their managers. The Athletics undoubtedly are superior to the Giants In batting ability against pitching of equal quality. They, have outbatted the New Yorkers In the team figures by the wide margin of fifteen points this season, and that is a big difference over so long a period.
All tests of recent years have shown that the pitching strength of the
I American league teams on the whole

j league in the aggregate. There is I nothing to that, however, to indicate
