Miss Edith Cummings Takes the
C
Woman s National Golf Crown
Rye, N. Y., Oct. 7.—The national
women's golf championship, so long
the property of the east and south,
went west Saturday when Miss Edith
Cummings, plucky Chicagoan, tri
umphed over Miss Alexa Stirling of
New Y’ork, a native Georgian, who
had held the title three times. The
western girl won by a margin of 3
up and 2 to play, after a tense and
brilliant struggle In the 36-hole final
round match at the Westc+icster
Blltmore Country club.
It was a fine.display of grit alorflg
with brilliant golf that carried the
Chicago girl, a member of the On
wentsia Country club, to victory over
Miss Stirling, who has been known as
America's most consistent woman
player. In the morning round, when
play was alternately ragged and per
fect, It seemed that the greater ex
perience of the three-time champion
would play Its part. After losing the
first hole of the day. Miss Stirling
settled down and soon took the lead.
She was one or two up much of (he
way until the middlo of the after
noon, having finished the first 18 2
up.
Miss Cummings appeared a bit
nervous as they went to the 18th
green In the morning round, but her
sliots up to the green were well made.
She had a chance to win this hole
hy sinking a short putt, but she
couldn't make It and they adjourned
for lunch with Miss Cummings 2
down. They halved the first hole In
the afternoon with par fours; then
tamo the great effort that resulted
In the crowning of a new champion.
Miss Cummings, with par golf, won
five holes In a row and became 3 up.
They halved the seventh and Miss
Cummings lost the eighth. The ninth
was halved.
The 10th and 11th were wretchedly
played. Both took fives. Both missed
short putts for wins at the 11th and
it was halved. Likewise the 12th.
The 13th went to Miss Stirling with
a well-played par four and she was
hut one down, Miss Cummings over
pitching.
Par figures won the 14th and 13tli
for Miss Cummings. On both holes
Miss Stirling dubbed Iron shots.
When they halved the 16th with fives
the shouts of the gallery in applaud
Ing the new champion were carried
by the wind to the clubhouse where,
too, a shout went up.
Miss Cummings has entered five
nationul championship tournaments.
In one she was eliminated in the first
round; in another she was defeated
in the second round; in her third she
failed to qualify. Last year she went
as far as the semi-finals at White
Sulphur Springs, but was eliminated
by Miss Olenna Collett of Providence,
who won the title.
The new national champion's golf
Is considered unusually great because
of the handicap of a broken right arm,
which has been locked at the elbow
since sho was an Infant.
Omaha U Ties Score
i n Final Quarter
With the score 7 to 0 against them,
and one minute and 45 seconds to
play, the University of Omaha w*n a
moral victory from Tabor yesterday
when a forward pass, Chalfont to
Prestley, netted a much needed touch
down, and goal kicked by Chalfont
tied the score.
The game started with Captain
Porter of Omaha losing the toss and
elected to defend the south goal.
Omaha kicked off and Tabor marched
jriumphautly down the field to a
touchdown, their only one of the day.
Mann kicked a goal following the
touchdown made by Bell. Steadying,
the Omaha U put up a stiff resistance
and checked Tabor's charging hacks,
and often when the ball was in the
shadow of their goal posts. Omaha
U was forced to play a defensive
game and it was not until the last
momenta of play, when they released
a brilliant passing attack, that ended
in a touchdown, were they able to
come within striking distance of the
goal.
Considering that Tabor had 17
letter men In the lineup, nine of
whom were three-year men, and that
Omaha was without a single man
from last year, Omaha university
football stock took a decided Jump
for the better following the reports
from Tabor.
The playing of Bosendaugh, Chal
font, Panahey and Porter were big
factors for Omaha, while Hell, Mann
and Captain Schcnln were the shin
ing lights for Tabor.

The Evening Boo,
Papyrus l ravels
With Good Speed
First Time the English Derby
Winner Has Run Without
Choppy Gait.
Xew York, Oct. ".—Papyrus, Eng
lish derby winner, which will race the
American thoroughbred crack, Zev, in
tho $100,000 match at Belmont Park
in two weeks. Saturday showed his
first flash of speed since arriving In
this country. American trainers who
natched the workout were impressed
with the form displayed by the British
3-year-old.
Coming to the end of a mile work
out, Papyrus stepped the final quarter
in 24 seconds flut without effort and
without urging on the part of her ex
erclse boy. The choppy stride, shownin
previous gallops and which had been
a source of some criticism, disap
peared in this brief breeze. The colt
settled down to a long, rythmical
stride that convinced cr.tics he it a
formidable distance runner.
The time for the mile was 1:40.
Zev, dc-f nitely chosen last night
by the Jockey Club to carry Ameri
ca’s colors In preference to My Own,
had a long gallop of a mile and a
quarter under restraint, in 2:13. The
mile was done In fntrly fast time.
1:42, hut after that, the rider took a
strong hold on the colt for the rest of
the workout.
Basil Jarvis, trainer of Papyrus,
plans to let his horse down for Its
first real speed test next Tuesday.

Giants May Win;
9
So May Yankees
It Is a Tossup Between the
Two Teams This
Year.
By DAVIS J. WALSH.
New York, Oct. 7.—Take a round
silver dollar firmly • between thumb
and forefinger, name one side the
Yankees and the other the Giants,
cast it upward in a graceful arc and
let it fall as it will. You will then
have an answer to the question of
which local ball club is to win the
world series. It will be strictly an
unscientific answer, we grant you,
but it will be just as accurate as any
that expert opinion may care to
furnish. This may be designated as
method number one.
Number two is nothing more occult
than following tho above formula and
reversing the fall or the coin by play
lng the Giants for a bet if the Yankee
side of tho coin shows or the Yankees
If the Giant side appears. This
method is generally known as ink on
the blackboard or padding the cell.
Frankly, the series defies predic
tion. It is one of those things that
you dope ono way and hunch the
other.
"Who Is going to win?” they ask
us. Just as though we knew. Being
candid, careful and curious, we
hasten to admit cur Ignorance. A
seat on the fence is not only safe,
but reasonably comfortable, as far
as this particular series is concerned,
if the Yankees and Giants were inert
ing for the first time, there would be
only one thing to do, towit: Pick the
Yankees and take a long walk. They
seem to be tho better ball club.
But they looked much the same in
1321 and 1322, with tho possible ex
ceptlon of the world series box scores
These showed the Giants to be rather
convincing winners, particularly in
the last year's games. Hence the
general inclination to climb on tho
fence and there remain until further
notice.
If Pipp plays, they have a better
first baseman than Kelly, If he
doesn't the trick Is to call "no dice.”
Kelly U a far better first baseman
than Ruth, and Smith doesn't com
pare with Young in all*around ability
in right field. We are throwing out
all maudlin claims of injury, because
so many have been made by bot>
clubs that the score is about even
Other YankSe advantages include
those of Dugan over llroh at third
base, Ruth over Emil Meusel in left
field and Witt over either Stengel or
Cunningham in center.
The remaining positions go to tho
Giants, Frisch being a better all
around Kill player at second base, or
elsewhere, than Ward, Bancroft being
yards beyond Scott at shortstop and
Young having a few jumps on Bob
Meusel In right field.
The Yankees carry the heavier ar
tillery at the plate, but the Giants
are more consistent hitters and cer
tainiy ft bit smarter. It might also
be mentioned that there are men in
the Yankee hatting order w ho can be I
annoyed considerably by left handed j
pitcli'ng, such as Nehf or Bentley
will supply. The Giants, oil the other j
hand, will not be bothered by Pen j
neck just because he Is a lift hander. ,
They have "turn over" hitters in Ban- j
croft and Frisch ami when Pennock
is working only Young will face him
from tho left side of the plate.
Quite so—a seat on the fence Is not
only safe, hut reasonably comfortable.
Except In one very vital particular,
the Yankees outscore the Giants In a
poslUon-to-position survey. The ex
ception Is fum'shed by John McGraw
In comparison with Miller Huggins. ;
The worthy Miller finishes a bud sea- -
end bere. not because he Is not a
good baseball tactician, but because
he is a comparatively slow thinker
and not adaptable to circumstance*.
McGraw Is the trigger-quick strate
g.xt, Huggins the student who would
be a wonder If things would happen
as they should. They don’t. .
Otherwise, however, the business Is
strongly pro-Yankee. They have
better pitchers in Jones, Pennock,
Hoyt, Hush and Shawkey, either {*r
a short series or a long one, than
Mi Draw's staff of Nehf, Bentley,
Scott, MoQuillan. Ryan nnd Watson.
They have a better catcher in Sohang
than either Snyder or dowdy.
Peru Wins Again.
Peru, Neb.. Oot. if—Peru sent an
other Missouri tmtn bark home de
feated when Grnf * Hob Cats won the
annual game from Tarklo by a score
of 21 to 7. Coach Graf tried out
many cf his candidate* in the last
quarter. Tarklo never was dangerous
until thp Missourian* opened up a
passing game In the last quarter.
Four straight passe* carried the ball
SO yards. The last pats, from Kyle
to Wood, was completed over the goal
line for a touchdown. Captain Kyle
kcked goal.
reru was In striking distance In
the tlnal period when four successful
passes and a penalty gave Hi" game
Missourians n touchdown. Captain
Isyle played a si nsationnl gume for
Tarkto. The Pern line deserves high
praise. Only one first down was made
through the line. Btilslng showed up
well In his first game at quarter. For
rest Bell played a stellar game on
both offense and defense.

Upsets and near upsets, the thrill
factors In football as well ns in other
sports, marked the opening of the
Big Ten conference grid season to
day.
The brilliant victory of the Uni
versity of Illinois eleven over the
Nebraska Cornhuskers by a score of
24 to 7, was regarded us prophetic
of Coach Zuppke's strong bid for the
conference title.
Of all the victories by the Big Ton
schools, Illinois' decisive reversal of
tho dope was perhaps the most sur
prising. Harold Grange and Burl
Britton were the Illinois heroes of
the contest. Three times Grange
crossed the Nebraska line for touch
downs. Once ho made a beautiful
broken field run for 53 yards and
touchdown and repeated with a 35
vard dash for another. The other
touchdown resulted from a 2S-yard
forward pass from Britton.
Chicago won Its second start of tIre
season from the Colorado Aggies, 10
to 0. The Maroons had the Aggies
constantly on the defensive but failed
to get one "earned’’ score. Their
only touchdown came in tho first
quarter as a result of a blocked kick
Northwestern Uses Passes.
Northwestern was forced to resot I
to forward passing to defeat Beloit
college, 21 to C, In a game that was
Just one penalty after another. It
was only in the last quarter that
the Northwestern offensive really got
g"lng and buttered its way over with
straight football plays for tho final
touchdown.
Minnesota had the battle of its
life to win a "practice game" from
Ames college in a game replete with
thrills. The final score was 20 to 17,
Minnesota nosing out a victory in
the third quarter on a beautiful run
by Carl Lidberg. The Behin brothers
of Atnes ran tho Minnesota ends for
consistent gains and the aerial at
tack of Roberts also an Am'-i man.
was dangerous at .all times. Graham
and Uidbeig carried the brunt of the
battle for Minnesota.
Tiic University of Wisconsin • leven
defeated the strong Coe college team,
7 to 3, making the only touchdown
of the gam' in the third quarter on
straight football. This was made pos
1 - ihie by the- fine line smashing by
Harris and Holmes, assisted by Ger
ber and Below, tackles, who cleared
w'ide paths, Makover,' quarterback ^
of the Coe team, hooted a 45-yard drop
kick In the second quarter.
Ilepauw Wins Front Indiana.
Indiana battled ineffectively against
Ilepauw and lost, 3 to 0. Ill the final
■mailer, w.th the score nothing to(
nothing, and only three minutes to
play, Kruehrner of Ilepauw kicked a
held goai from the 20-yard line.
Iowa defeated Knox. 44 to 3. Par
kin, Captain Miller. Fisher and Han
cock starred for the Hawkeyes in a
game that was replete with large
gains and losses for both teams.
Iowa's aerial attack showed marked
improvement
Michigan had little difficulty run
nine up a 36 to 0 score against Case !
Tech. Steger starred for the Wolver
ines. making two touchdowns In the
second quarter, one of them after a
run of Co yards. Harry Klpkc, 1922
all-Amer.can back, took it easy be
cause of a recent injury, but never
tlie less gave a good account of him
self.
Ohio State played on the defensive
the entire first half of their game
with Ohio Wesleyan today and then
ran up 34 points in the second and
final half of the game. Tho score I
was 24 to 7. Pearce, left halfbacK
for Wesleyan, receiving Workman’s
punt hi hs ow n 20 yard line, ran SO
yards for a touchdown.
Purdue had little difficulty In dr
feating Wilmington college, 39 to 0,
today. In a game in which Coach
Phelan of Purdue used inany subet;
tutes. It served as a good practice
and the rserves showed well
