Quintet Defeats Willing for Royal Trophy By ROBERT E. HARLOW. International Kew* Barrie* Staff Corre spondent. ANDWICH, Enr b land. May 4. — Francis Oulmet of Boston today won the play-off from Dr. O. F. Willing of Portland, Ore., for the St. George'* [challenge cup in the International golf tournament. ■ The match pro Hvided a tense fin Wlsh, Ouimet winning Vby a single stroke ■Oat the end ot 1R jL. holes, and advan ^"tage gained on the opening hole, where he took a lour against his rival's five. The medal scores were: Ouimct 77 and Willing 78. Their cards were: Ouimet—Out: .Jo* fJJ 21 Willing—Out: ..*o3 6** 68*—2* Oulmet—In: .644 *65 366—JO—77 willing—In: .*45 *86 3a*—10 78 While his putting was not as sensa tional as that he displayed yesterday. Ouiinet's game on the whole was pretty to watch. He took three putts on the second, sixth and eighth holes, halving the first two ami losing the I last. On the 13th he was wide with a' seven-foot putt. On fhe fourth hole, however. Oui met gave the gallery a taste of his resourcefulness by playing a spoon shot within two feet of the pin for a sensational 3 on a 432-yard He was, in fact, longer wit*: Nis wood shots than Dr. Willing through out the entire round, his advantage thus gained from the tee standing him in good stead whenever he fal tered on or near the greens. This was particularly evident on the fifth P* hole where Ouimet's greater length permitted him to get a half in 4 in spite of Willing's astonishing putt of ’5 yards. The doctor, plugging along like the fighter he is, finally drew level with Ouimet at the 10th, where the Bos ton amateur bunkered his tee sh^t and got a 5 to Willing's 4. Ouimet, however, took the lead again on the 12th where Willing also sought a trap off the tee and never relin quished It. He played the 14th, the longest on the course, perfectly with n par 5 against Willing’s fi, the lat ter being weak off ths tee and strong with an approach. — Agrees to Box Dundee. Cleveland. — Featherweight Cham pion Jimmy Kilbane signed an agree ment to meet Johnny Dundee within !'0 days after his bout with Eugene Criqui, European champion, providing he defeats the Frenchman.

Nf ^ I Johnson’s Record, as Shutout Hurler May Stand Long Time By THOMAS U Cl'MMISKEY. I nlverosl Service Sport* Editor. !iVV YOKK, May 4.—The crooners to statistics ought to come forward and sing a song, loud and long, about Wal ter Johnson, of the Senators, and his resplendent string of shutouts. It does not matter who does it, providing he Is accurate on the figures. Johnson hurled a 1 to 0 shutout against the Yankees Wednesday in his 17th season in the "big time”—all the time with Washington. We thought it was the 98th shutout of his career, but it develops there is an argu ment over whether it is 98, 99 or 100. Such a marvelous record ought to be definitely fixed. *SS^ The record books, we found after a lengthy inspection, do not show it. It is well known, however, that his performance stands far above all others. And it seems a safe bet, too, that it will never be equalled. Incidentally, to bet some otnci pifcljer will eoual Johnson's feat would be foolish. A youth making the best would probably be a grand father before he could stand a chance of collecting it. if then.

S«S.S* mokoiyou feel like yourself again \ ■ '' , Urover Cleveland Alexander, now in Jiis 13th year In the big leagues, has pitched 81 or 82 shutout games. There, too, there is an argument. The statisticians appear to have slipped up on the shutouts. But Alexander, in his great years with the Phillies and Cubs, has put himself next to Johnson in this remarkable phase of fhe game. Then comes a long span until the third in line for honors, one "Dutch” I,eonard, formerly of the lied Sox and Tigers. Leonard’s mark, if memory serves, as the record books do not, has something around half of Alex ander's total, Shutting out the New York club seems to be one of the best things Johnson does. He did it twice last year-ln a short period, and now he's up to it again, it has been so for years, "When you and I were young, Mag gie.” as they say, back tn 190S, Young Walter Johnson, then in his second year with the Senators, shut out the New York club in three suc cessive garner in one series. New York was known as the "Highland ers" then. Johnson shut them out September 4, 6 and 7, hurling 27 Innings. The poor Highlanders couldn't s“e the balls coming. Johnson, revelling in youthful might, shot over straight balls. They came like bullets—ano 'twould seem, appeared as small. Of late years, he has been relying on curves and change of pace main ly, with now and then a speed hall, lemininscent of smokey one# of other days. He is still going strong, and It looks like a big year for him. A» in all other years he had to do modt of the Winning of games himself, get i tipg poor support In the field and hitting. The fact Johnson has pitched 98, 99 or 100 shutouts with Washington, generally an in-and-out club, makes | it all the more remarkable. Once again it may be asked: "What might fiot he have done with 'a real club?" An echo answers: "What might not he have done?" Alexander Hangs Up Record. Chicago, May 4.—Grover Cleveland Alexander, veteran pitcher of the Chi cago Nationals, established what is believed to be a major league record yesterday at St. Ixmls, when he pitched his fourth consecutive game without issuing a base on balla or j hitting a batter. --- I Gotf Evcis |. i Q In playing under winter rule*, la j a player allowed to tea up his ball in the f.urway, or merely to place it, with out making a tee? j A.

London, May 4.—The fact that an American golfer is to carry home the Itoyal St. George’s grand challenge cup Is received without resentment and-^with some generous recognition of the superiority of the transatlan tic players by the London newspaper experts. Loss of the trophy and Brit ish downfall, of course, are lamented, but no excuses are made for the Brit ish failure. •’Decisive.” ‘'splendid,” “well merit ed," are among the adjectives applied by the critics to the triumph of the overseas visitors. “There is no sort of excuse to be made for our players; they had their chances and they played very disap pointingly,” says the golf expert of the Times. The Morning Post ssys editorially: “Plainly our friends, the enemy, have no longer anything to learn from us, and, equally plainly, we have some thing to learn from them. . . . What the American amateur of the highest class seems to possess is a steadiness that the best professional* could hardly Improve upon.” Schlaifer.

J., world’* Cham knocked out Morrie Sqhlaifer _of Omaha In the sixth round or a scheduled 10 round boxing con test her* last night. Referee Harry Brtle of Jersey City, N. J., stopped the fight after Schlaifer had been knocked down three tiir.es and was hanging helpless on the ropes in his own cor ner. The fight was the first to termi nate in a knockout since boxing was resumed in Chicago two months ago under the protection of injunction from the courta. The bout was witnessed by a crowd of about 6,500. gate receipts reaching $14,000. Schlaifer won the first two rounds and had Walker bleeding from the mouth in the second round as the re sult of solid right and left hand smashes to the head. The third was fairly even, but Walker got the range In the fourth and went out for APPLY RESTORATIVES. By I'nlmMl Smlce. Chicago, May 4.—Mickey Walk er, world'* welterweight cham pion, knocked out Morrlc Schlatt er, Omaha'* "lighting fool,” in the sixth round of their bout last night at Dexter pavilion. Schlatter was completely out for 10 minute* after application of restorative*. points. Schlalfcr was inlasing badly in the fifth and the champion coun tered with stiff right and left-hand punches to the head. Soon after the opening of the sigth round Walker hooked a left solidly to the body and then jolted Schlalfcr on the chin with another left, dropping him in his own corner. He stumbled to his feet before the referee counted five and Walker flewr at him, hooking^ right and left to the chin. He went down the second time and when he regained his feet Walker measured him with a solid right to the chin. Schlaifer gamely pulled himself to a standing position at the counl of nine, but he fell into the ropes, hope lessly beaten, when Referee Ertle caught the Omaha challenger as he was climbing off the ropes.
