ROSENBLUM.
ITH the aid of
"Dazzy” Vance
of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, the
Murphy. Rid-Ita
stepped out and
took the Missou
ri Pacifies, run
ners-up for the
amateur title of
St. Louis, to a 7
to 1 trimming in
tlie first game
of a double-head
er at League
park yesterday.
In the second
game the Oma
ha amateur champs, using their regu
lar lineup, lost the last game of a
three-game Intercity series to the
Curlee Clothiers, 2 to 0, when Leo
» Riel, “ace” of the Curiees’ mound
staff, allowed the auto men only one
safe blow.
Using a free and easy delivery,
Mathewson's choice of the best twirl
rv er in the big show just toyed with the
I amateur nine from the Mound City.
i Only three or four timea during the
k course of the game did the holder of
& the big league strikeout record use
™ his famous curve ball and when he
did the Missourians saw the ball
only after It had reached the catch
er's glove. After the smoke of the
game had cleared away the score
hook showed that the former Hast
» lngs boy whiffed 18 men and allowed
k four safe blows.
I The Murphys, on the other hand,
K nicked the offerings of Fehritiger,
Madsen and Stremmel, tlie three rail
roaders’ hurlers, for 11 safe blows,
including homers by Luebbe and Frei
tag. The Murphys started their scor
ing in the third inning when Luebbe,
the first batter up, socked the ball
over the right field palisades. Vance,
>■ following him, came through with a
double and advanced to third on
I Krug’s sacrifice. [
Vance scored on Nick’s single to
left field. The Murphs rang up two
scores in the fifth, two in the sev
enth and their filial marker in the
eighth. The visitors were able to
t cross the platter once and that was in
the sixth inning when after McEvoy
had walked and stole second Kortum
brought him home with a sizzling
triple to right field. I
Roy Luebbe, Omaha Buffalo catch
er, caught Vance in the first game
;'nd held the wicked slants of the big
- leaguer in great fashion.
I’oetiy errors on the part of the
Murph players allowed the Curlee
I’iolhiers to take the last game of the
in ■ rcity series and thus make a
i n sweep of the entire series. Leo
f Diel, star hurler for the Curlee team,
inn led a dandy game in the nightcap
of the day's program when he held
the Murphys hitless for seven In
nings. In the eighth inning Yates,
the third batter of the inning, got the
only. Murphy hit when he lined a
screaming single to center field,
mrt.wttrd B.Cvewatrdlr
The fact that the Murphys were de
feated should not allow the pitching
exhibition of Mahoney go unnoticed.
The Murphys’ boss twirled a dandy
game, whiffing eight men, allowing
hut six hits and refusing to issue
f nary a free ticket to first base. Errors
I of the same brand that the Murphys
/ displayed in St. l/ouis allowed the
I i’lirlees to score their two runs.
The Mound City men scored tlielr
two runs i nthe fifth inning, when
Becker, the first, batter of the Inning,
secured an infield hit and took sec
I ond when Guinnottc mussed up
IJese’s sacrifice between first and sec
ond. Becker scored when Watchler
made a wild throw in an effort to
catch tlie Curless captain leading off
^ second base.
I.iese took second base on the play.
I The visiting left, fielder took third
L when Freitag dropped Dlel’s popup,
j The final score of the game was
I chalked up when Mnhoney threw wild
I t*. 111 i base after Ahearn had btmted
f end Jwese scored from third base.
Spectaticular fielding by Shick, Ma
guire, Ahearn, Oockel and Kvitterer
i f the visitors jnd Hyan and Nick of
the Murphys brought the fans to their
feet several times. Becker was the
big star with the willow fr the visit
ing team. *

Marquette Plans Great Program for
Dedication of New Field Saturday
MILMAUKEE, Oct. 12.—Milwau
kee, long a sport-loving city,
with a desire for greater col
legiate football games, will see an
other dream come true here next Sat
urday, October 18, when the new Mar
quette university stadium will be dedi
cated amid a great program, tile fea
ture of which is a football game be
tween Marquette and John Carroll
university of Cleveland.
The Marquette stadium will be one
of the largest in the country, and in
the middlewest. It is believed only
those of Ohio State, Illinois and Mich
igan will be larger. The ultimate
seating capacity of the stadium will
be about 45,000, with about half of the
structure, or the main tiers on each
side, now ready for occupancy.
Professional landscape gardeners
have been In charge of constructing
the gridiron and the result Is one of
the most attractive playing fields In
the mlddlewest. The turf, although
freshly sodded, is In excellent condi
tion and will offer the Marquette
“Golden Avalanche” much better fa
cilities than did the old campus with
its hard clay and stones. Every mod
ern convenience, including press box
and equipment, has been installed at
the stadium.
Squad and shower rooms for home
and visiting teams are provided be
neath the spacious stands. Equipment
rooms, rest rooms, ticket booths, of
fices and garage spare also has been
constructed. The stadium will In
clude two gridirons, one for practice,
and a six-lane quarter-mile running
track, as well as several stralght-away
lanes.
Track, football and baseball can be
accommodated in the structure, and
other functions also are planned.

Record Set by
Sarazen Likely to
Stand for Years
Epinard Given Best Ride of
Three American Starts at
Latonia Saturday—French
Horse to Maryland.
By Anorlated Press.
ATONIA, Ky„ Ort. 12.
—Sarazen, the vic
tor, and Epinard,
the van<|ti foiled,
rested serenely to
day in tile sur
roundings of tlieir
memorable tattle
in the internation
al mile and a
quarter race here
yesterda y, in
which all existing
Kentucky records for the distance
were smashed before the greatest
crowd that ever went through the
turnstiles at Latonia.
Epinard, great in defeat, ran sec
ond to the three-year-old gelding of
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, 2d. A nose
behind the French turf idol came Mad
Play, Harry F. Sinclair’s entry, fol
lowed closely by Altawood, owned by
C. Bruce Head of Louisville, Ky. The
conqueror of the great Epinard won
for his owner $55,000, a beautiful gold
cup and the acclaim of the throng.
The record time for the distance
probably will stand for years and to
day wherever horsemen and thor
oughbred enthusiasts gathered it was
a theme for discussion. The chest
nut gelding Sarazen. forcing the pace
throughout, forged to the lead where
he maintained his stride and finished
in 2:00 4-5, clipping one and two
fifths seconds off the record made
by Befuddle this spring and coming
within 4 5 of a second of equaling the
world's record established 10 years
ago by Whisk Broom, 2d.
Epinard probably will be shipped to
Maryland this week for a race there
next Saturday, although nothing defi
nite could be learned today. A match
race between Sarazen and Epinartj
also was proposed during the comipg
Churchill Downs meeting, but wheth
er Mrs. Vanderbilt will consent to
this was not known.
Race writers who "covered" the
last of the international series of
races in which Pierre Wertheimer's
horse started were of the opinion
that Epinard was given the best ride
of his three American starts by Jock
ey Everett Haynes.

Grips—Leather and Others.
IN golf the word "grip" has two
technical meanings. One indi
cates the method of holding the
club for a stroke, and the other desig
nates the upper part of the club
shaft, prepared in a certain manner
for case and comfort In grasping.
Golfers have differed considerably as
to the advantages of varying sorts
of grips put on by club manufac
turers, and there have been many In
ventions to meet differing needs.
It hardly seems necessary lo say
tliat the flnger-gripper must consider
carefully the size of Ills own hand
and the thickness of the grip on his
golf club, for there are fat grips and
thin ones, and which is the better de
pends on individual lengths of fingers.
In my earlier days when I haunted
the professional's shop, the following
method of putting grips on clubs was
used: First, with a heavy rasp-file,
the club shaft was roughened from
top downward to a point where It was
guessed the grip would end. Then
strong glue was applied to the cut
places and tacks were put at each
end of the prepared surface of the
shaft. This was to hold the listing
in place. This listing, varying in
thickness, and from one-half to a
whole inch in width, came in large
balls. There was also a ihin cloth
used as an underlisting. As 6oon as
the underwrapping was done more
glue wqas put on and the leather
gripping prepared.
Most professionals cut the leather
out of whole sheepskin and it takes
quite a knack to do it so thhat it will
wind properly around the shaft of the
club. The cutting is done with a
chisel and it demands a steady hand
to make the edges even enough to fit
smoothly when wound.
After the rutting the leather is
wound around the shaft as far down
as It is expected to go and there held
in place by a tack, the ends cut off
and then tied with whipping in a sur
prisingly tight knot. The top part Is
cut so that one-sixteenth of (he shaft
shows, and the top is rounded with a
wood file. The leather is secured over
the nail with several rounds of whip
ping. Then a heavy mallet is taken
and the grip is rolled on a Hat surface
until perfectly smooth. Of course the
strings are shellaced.
Either side of the leather can be
used, but the smooth side treated with
a kind of oil that gives a pleasing
softness, hut does not make it
greasy, is the most popular. Such a
grip I hate used for many years, and
any other would feel uncomfortable
to me. The rough side is also used,!
and is sometimes very good, espe
cially in weth weather, for those who
have difficulty in getting a flirin grip.
Many materials beside* leather are uted
for grips, but rubber stands next in popu
larity. It is very hard to put on and
wears out easily, but when new it cer
tainly feels good. Cork grips have also
teen used hm the whole matter of ma
terial resolves itself into which Is *»*s:est
for you to grasp, and which will help
your a*»r.se of feeling and touch » are
must be exercised not to us* tnaterisl
that will t*ar your hands or allow them
to slip. Then again on® ought not to
employ a grip that is not easily dupli
cated. As to repairing grips I suggest
there is a -’ertain benefit in holding on
to a grip when the fing-rs have molded
the leather to suit the hand.
There ir» many freak grips, all with
the idea of gaining confidence in one's
grip. Some put knobs on the ends of
their clubs, and some have even put
rings of leather and listing underneath
the leather so that their f'ngerg would
fit into a perfect grip. T remember that
Walter J Travis once came to a cham
pionship with no grip at all on his shaft.
He claimed, perhaps rightfully, too. that
the wood would give h;in a better sense |
of touch
lengths Conform to Tastes.
There are different lengths of grips
end I have known plavers who have had
the leather run a1’ the w-*» down the;
-hat- I thirik however, th. t moderation I
in this as in everything else is test
