NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Wlthln th last
fortnight no fewer than seven golf scores
under 70 have been recorded. A. C' Lin
coln did 69 at Felixstowe and J. II. Tar
lor did a 67 on the same course. It. Hilton
had a (17 at Ashford Manor and -W.' K.
Reld a 69 at Banstead Downs. W. Blnnle
did fl at Dodhoad Bruntlslsnd. J. Rowe a
68 at Ashdown Forest and T. Umb played
a marveloua round at 61 at Salthuin-by-the-Bea.
Paltburn Is a shortish course, but
all th others are long, measuring approx
imately 6,000 yards for eighteen holes.
Buch low scoring Is remarkable even In
these -record-breaking days, and It ia evi
dent that the limit has not by any means
been reached.
Th score of th best players twenty
five or thirty years ago were seldom under
SO. Indeed, It would not be too much to
say scores under 80 at that period. were
not commoner than are scores under 72
today. At first sight this looks as If the
best players had Improved about ten
strokes per round, but It would not be ac
curate to set down to lower rate of scoring
to a proportionate Improvement In play.
The 'question of whether the older genera
tion of players were as good as or better
than the present is Incapable of settlement
because the conditions under which they
played were so very different. It does not
follow because their scores wev higher
that they were less skillful, A score of 80
on one course may require as fine golf
or finer than a score of 70 on another. It
all depends on the nature of the courses.
The old courses were not laid out for
the scoring game. The holes were made
for match play and the Idea waa to make
them aa difficult of access as possible.
Th putting green were small and well
guarded so that unless the approach was
perfect the hall did not stop anywhere on
th green. The fairway waa narrow and
the lie on It waa generally poor. The
ground was full of cups and patches of
loose sand and the small hollows were
full of long grass, ao that a good lie
through the green was not the universal
thing It Is now. The length of holes and
the placing of hasards called for the ac
curate Judgment of ever varying distances.
All these things made low scoring diffi
cult and th question Is would our flrst
claxs players do scores under 70 as often
as they do, or would they do them at all
under the old conditions any more than
the old champions?
Modern Coarse Less nlfftealt.
Leaving th Improved clubs to balance
the greater length of holes. It Is evident
that the modern course does not present
anything like the same difficulties. The
lies through the green on a first-class
course today are practically perfect. A bad
lie ia the rarest experience. The ball la
presented to the player, shot after shot,
I precisely the same way. Even tha
stance la seldom anything but flat. A
large proportion of the hole are two-shot
holes and all th player can get hla four
all right. Whereaa in the old course he
wouM have been In the rough, or In th
hasard, and would probably hav required
at least three to hole out. The abolition
of th cross bunker,' whatever may' be said
In favor of it, certainly makes low scor
ing easier to a straight player, since a
topped approach is not punished.
in addition to all these fsctora, th mak
ing of holea that are multiples of full shots
tends to stereotype a man's game, bo that
If he I driving or putting well, there 1 no
call xipon him for any variety of stroke,
and his play become largely mechanical.
At any rat, be Is always playing prac
tically the same shot, and It la little won
der that he becomes proficient at It. If he
partially misses a full stroke th approach
he has to play 1 usually quit featureless,
a pitch and run on to large, open putting
green. -'
These remarks on modern courses apply,
of course, to play when there is little or
no wind, and It la to be presumed that
scores under 70 are seldom dona except
under favorable conditions. On a windy
day our champions take much nearer 80,
for then there 1 a call for a much greater
variety of stroke. But th old course re
quired till more skill and more of It, for
their negotiation, even on a sUll day, and
It 1 this that has to b remembered In
comparing th score of th past with those
of th present.
In on respect th moderns certainly beat
tha anclenta, and that la In driving. Even
allowing for the rubber ball and th new
club, th driving of our beanplayer I un
doubtedly better than It was twenty-five
year ago. It 1 more accurate. Our play
er get so much more of it that It 1 only
natural that they ahould be more proft
elent at It than the old player. After th
tee-shot It waa usually a cleek ahot or a
Jerk with the spoon, and how often hav
w to playths ehot today. But are our
modern cracks batter approacher or better
putter than th ancient?
"PINCH HITTERS" ARE CARRIED
Klaefc Tomb Has a Maat of Thta R
calaed Class.
' NEW TORK, Oct. M.-Ou of th recent
developments of baa ball baa been tha
"pinch hitter." Almost all of th team In
th National and American league carry
omt player these day who la suppoaed to
be able to tak Jr.U plao at bat In an
emergency and rap th ball out of th
reaoh of th fielders, thereby restoring hi
olub to good atandlng and keeping peac In
th community.
To soma extent John' J. McOraw of th
New Tork National 1 rponlbl for thi
Innovation. He was quick to see th ad
vantage which were likely to b gained
when th rule waa passed that on player
could be, aubatltuted for another 'at any
time, and after it waa put la effect by th
rule committee kept on or two msn on
hi team for not muoh of any other rea
son than that they oould frequently walk
to th plat and smash th ball safely to
th field when It we needed.
There waa "Sammy" Strang, for In
stance. That young man played a much
larger part in helping th Nsw Tork team
win a championship than he waa given
oredtt for playing by some of the un
thinking. Many time, when a weak bat
ting pitcher waa In sight or when It ap
peared that It would be advisable to make
a shift in eom player becaua he hap
pened nkt to be very successful against a
certain nltcher aa a batter. Strang walked
to th (W and rapped th ball safely.

the chief topic of Interest.
The contest ia scheduled to.atart at 10
o'clock in the morning with the finish bIx
hours later. It Is forecasted that over 300
miles will be made by the winner. Fol
lowing the quarter-day race a number of
abort distance events will be held. A fifty
mile race Is the prominent feature of the
opening day's card. Inasmuch as It Is
billed aa a "free-for-all" event, it Is
thought than an unusually large number
of ra.-a will compete. A contest for th
New Orleans trophy Is attracting con
siderable Interest In the Crescent City.
The cars entered In this event must be
local machines and each driver must be an
owner or driver who has lived in New
Orleans for over thirty days.

cars making the most mileage In each of
the five classes of which the race will be
made up. The event Is to be for stock
chassis, and will be run In classes as out
lined by the American Automobile as
sociation, the piston displacement classifi
cation being followed. This glvea the
manufacturer and the dealer hla oppor
tunity to demonstrate the excellence of his
product and will likewise give the amateur
a chance to show his skill.
The race will be divided Into'the follow
ing classes:
Class One For stock chassis of piston
displacement of tt'l to 600 cubic Inches.
Class Two For stock chassis of piston
displacement from 801 to 450 cubic inches.

A a many as twenty car may compete in
such a contest without endangering the
Uvea of any drivers, yet furnish the public
unusually keen sport. The race has the
support of Howard E. Coffin, chairman of
the rules committee of the Manufacturers'
Contest association. As a matter of fact.
Coffin la said to be the father of the sug

JONES STARTS WITH NEW PLAYS
Drills Tale Boya oa Fresh Staff front
the Jamp,
NEW HAVEN. Oct, 18.-Almost as soon
aa practice started on Yale field thi fall,
Head Coach Howard Jones started In with
the new style of foot ball. Bince forward
pasae and onalde kicks have been In vogue
the coaches have usually left those playa
until later in the season before developing
them. The, opening gamea for the past
three yeada have been only straight foot
ball by Yale, until the Blue eleven had got
fairly under way. - The new play have
been frequently used here In gamea thla sea
son so far, and Coach Jonea Intends to
make them features of the play the rest
of the season, for he has spent more time
on them than on any others. ,
Tha absence of Captain Coy from the
lineup throwa the brunt of the offense
upen Philbtn Daly and Field for the pre
nt. Daly and Field hav been selected
to do most of the new style of offensive
work, while Phllbln has done more of -the
old style running with the ball. Haines at
nd had been selected to do the punting
and to receive onald kick. Owing to the
lack of a heavy man for th backfleld he
had been temporarily shifted to fullback
until Coy come back, but he will go to
nd after that He doe the punting and
deliver th onalde kick while he playa
fullback, and he baa been especially
ooached to receive the onald kick when
at and, and also to tak the forward pass.
Captain Coy' absence ueveaaltatad the
appointment of an acting captain, Logan
getting th honor. He also Is being
coached to tak the new play at end. Be
ing faster than any other man on the
quad of ends, ho haa been picked to work
out several trick plays that Jones la pre
paring for Harvard and Princeton.
Little Johnson seem to hav th call for
th quarterback position Just at present,
and he probably will solve the I biggest
problem that Coach Jones haa to face, the
finding of a general for the team. The
lack of one loat the Harvard game last
year. - Johnson la a man that can run well
with the ball, deliver an onslde kick, or
make a neat forward paas, and he has
shown up particularly well In the early
gamea. If he can learn how to direct playa,
which la the only need he has, lie will
prove a aecond Tad Jonea.
All of the men being used for the for
ward pas and onslde kick game are not
heavy men, but are lithe and speedy.
Johnson does not weigh over HQ pound,
Field 1 about ISO, Haines weighs 176, Logun
weighs 160, and Daly 155. They are th
lightest men on the regular squad, and It
Is because of their apeed that they have
been able to fall In with the plan of Coach
Jonea He, want Just such man as they
are to get off his plays In a hurry, and,
with the heavy line that Yale haa. the com
bination should prove very formidable
when the team I fully developed.

QUEER PATRON OF TIIE TURF
Fug-ilist Who Won the Derby and
Oaki and Became an M. P.
GULLY'S REMARKABLE CAREER
Held World's Prise nine Title, Re
tired and Won Derby with Pyr
rhna t and Oaks with
Meadleant.
Iord Rowebery ws aid to have at
tained 4he great ambition of his lifo a few
years ago when he won the Derby, b"
came prime minister and married one of
the richest and handsomest women In Eng
land. It whs a remarkable achievement,
but the British turf from Its long list of
queer patrons and odd characters supplies
a case that eaily outphlui's that of the
aclon of the house of Primrose. It is that
of a man born In ablect poverty, but who
at the age of 24 waa prize ring champion
of the world and In 1S46 won the Derbv
with Pyrrhus and the Oaks with Mendi
cant, and un to that time waa the first
owner to score in both classics.
This was John Gully, who, after he had
reaped all the honor of (lis ring and the
turf represented Pontefract In the first
Reform Parliament. In fact. Gully might
be put down as the Nestor of the English
turf, and at least his life study furnishes
the greatest romance of raclns. It la now
unknown whether or not he married a
great beauty or whether he married at all,
but he lived to a great nge. His varied
career is positive proof that cold matter
of fact will always outshine the most In
genious fiction. What poor boxer today
would dare say ho would after winning
the world's championship own a Derby
winner, and when the turf's glitter failed
to attract him he would sit among the
great legislators of the land?
John Gully was the son of very poor
parents and first saw the light at Bristol
In the' year 1783, but aa he reached man's
estate was a picture of muscular develop
ment. Those were the golden days of the
prise ring In England, when even th
gladiator' art received the patronage ot
royalty, and Gully's friends advised him
to go in and try for some of the laurels.
Around the years of 20 he had three am
bitions to win the championship of th
price ring, to own a Derby winner and to
obtain a seat In Parliament.
Gully had no real hankering after the
lifo of a prise fighter, but he wanted the
championship, and his ambition was ful
filled, for at the dawn of the nineteenth
century he was champion of England, and
the title then carried with it the world
championship. Gully held the belt and
the cup emblematic of the championship
for a few years, but In 1808 he turned both
over to Tom Crlbb, saying he was through
with the squared circle forever. All this
time he waa possessed of a passion for
racing and was the most constant visitor
at the big race meets, where his keen
methods of calculation In betting were well
known.
On account of his fame as a pugilist
he was on friendly terma with most of
tha big racing men, who soon found out
that he had other abilities than those
of slugging. Among Gully's admirer
were Lord Foley, the Marquis of Queens
berry, Lord Abingdon, Colonel Melllsh, Pitt
and Fox. He began to act as betting
commissioner for them, and as betting
Was heavy in those days and bookmakers
few, Gully soon found himself with a
fat sum. to his credit. Then he began to
strike out for himself, and buying a few
horses got . a man named Sykea to -train
tmm at Malton. Not content with mov
ing along on a small scale he bought
tha . Derby , winner Mamelutte from Lord
Jersey In 1827. The price paid was a pretty
stiff one In those days, the figure being
820,000. ' he bargain was struck the
first day of the Ascot meeting, and one
of the conditions was that the sale should
not be made known for twenty-four
hour.
Gully wanted to do aome betting, and
the wager he did make showed that he
wa possessed of an unlimited amount
of nerve. He bet 850,000 that Mameluke
would beat ten different horse and 860,000
mora that the horse would beat nine
different horses. Matilda, the winner of
the race, figured In both batchea, ao that
Oulley loat both beta. He had anolber bet
of tXI.000 to 850,000 that Mameluke would
win, ao hla total loss In the on event waa
flM.OOO, but It did not shake th pluck of
the ex-prlse fighter, for an Instant. The
story about Mameluke la interesting, for
tha horse subsequently came to America.
Because he had won tha Derby Mame
luke was first favorite for tha Bt, Leger,
and he should have won it, bnt he was
Jostled so badly at the atart and pocketed
In the race so that Matilda beat him
again. Gully lost a lot of money, but
still he had absolute faith in tha auperl
orlty of his horse, and he offered Maillda'a
owner to give her seven pounds for a
special race, but the challenge waa re
fused. As a four-year-old Mameluke won
back all he lost for Gully and a great
deal more to boot. One of the best races
waa the Oatlanda, then on of the heaviest
betting races of the Englieh turf, and It U

related that Oully won something like

ward in a moment of hast Oully sold
Mameluke to Theobald, known as , "Old
Leather Breeches, " and repenting Im
mediately offered an open check to get
the horse back. Theodald was Immovable,
though Gully pleaded that hla wife was
vexed with him and In order to please
her he wanted the horses, but the plead
ing was of no avail. Mameluke went to the
Slockwell stud after he waa through with
racing and stayed there till he left for
this side of the water.
In 1831 Gully went Into partnership with
RIdsdale, and that same year the stable
ran second In the derby with Little Red
Rover. The next year saw Gully mount
the ladder of his ambition, for the part
ners won the derby with St. Gllea. and
the victory brought a large amount In
bets, both doing so Well that they dis
solved partnership the Monday after the
derby. Just then Gully had a gmd hi.rse
in Margrave, for which he paid 827.0OU. and
he decided to make nnother bid for the
St. Legor. For the purpose of putting him
In the best possible trim Margrave was
sent to John Scott to undergo a special
preparation. As he had won the Criterion
he reigned fnvorlta In the betting, Jnit he
cut his leg badly while at work and his
price went tip to 1.000 to IS. and stood at
that price a week before the race, fcott,
however, got him around, and when he
appeared at Doncayter hla price fell to 10
to 1. The horse made all the running and
won in a common canter. Gully clearing
the nice sum of $50,000 on the event.
Soon afterward Gully took John Day
a partner, and the pair shared the pos
session of The I-gly Buck, with which
they won the Two Thousand Guineas In
1144, and the horse ran fourth In the derby.
In 1S45 Gully should have won the derby
with Weatherbit, but the colt became un
manageable on the course and In a mad
dash to break away Jumped over Tarn,
another horse In the race, and Merry

was such a poor performer that Day sold
his Interest In him for $500 to Gully. Early
In his 8-year-old season he won the New
market Stakes and beat a real good animal
In Iago, when it dawned on Gully that
there waa something In the colt.
A must suffer test which was given him
convinced the owner that he had a first
rate chance at Epson, and aome beta were
placed on the colt In the meantime. Pyr
rhua went .to the post a warm favorite
and 'beatisir Tatton Syke and a field
of twenty, winning 860,000 for Oully. The
colt waa prevented from starting In the
St. Leger, but as a 4-year-old he continued
his winning career by securing among
other big races the Orange cup at Good
wood. At the stud h did exceedingly well
and got a lot of fashionable stock, among
them being VIrlgo.
Over the filly Mendicant, for the Oaks,
Gully wa forestalled by Lord George
Bentlnck. He was told that the filly was
better than the colt and he backed her
warmly. The public took the tip from
Lord George, ao the owner had little or
no chance to obtain odda wortlt while and
h did not make near aa much aa he did
In the derby. Mendicant ran for the
Cheater cup, when a 4-year-old with 112
pound In the saddle and waa only beaten
a short head. In the Ascot week of that
same year she wa sold to Blr Joseph Haw
ley for $20,000, and he thought he got a bad
bargain, for she ran very poorly for the
Ascot cup. But she proved to be a verl
table gold mine and ten years later she,
with her aon Beadsman, brought him the
astounding price ot $4,000. "
Gully continued hla succe on the turf
with varying fortune till 1854, when he had
another streak of good luck, and he 'wa
then 71 years of age, but his eye for a good
animal had loat none of Its sharpness. That
year he won th 2,000 gulneaa with the Her
mit, and the Derby with Andover. He had
only a part ownership In Andover, but It
la certain that the colt would hav never
figured at all at Epaom. but for Gully. In
th spring of 1858 Oully waa staying at
Danebury for a while, and one day he
caught sight of thre yearlings, one of
which Impressed him. Thi on wa An
dover, and he Inquired of Padwlok, th
owner, if the colt wa for sale. Padwlck
said no, and told Oully that ha had Just
paid $3,000 for him. Then Oully Inquired
If a partnership oould be formed, and to
this Padwlck consented. The colt waa then
placed in Gully's care and every hour of
his work wa closely watched until ha
flew past the poat at Epsom.
When Gully ran for Parliament h was
opposed by Lord Mexborough for th
Pontefract seat and the contest wa fought
out bitterly. Oully' rival used th fact
that he waa once a prisefighter against
him and he all the Urn wanted to know
if the oonatltuenta cared to b represented
by that class of a man. Evidently they
did. for they elected Gully and he did very
well at Westminster.

I want to recommend S. S. S. to all who are in need of a
blood purifier, and especially as a remedy for f ores and obstinate
ulcers. In 1877 my blood was very impure and I accidentally
cut my leg on the sharp edge of a barrel. This, I suppose,
made an opening for the discharge of the impurities in the
circulation, and a great sore formed. For years no one knows
what I suffered with the place, I tried, it seemed to me nearly
everything I had ever heard of, but got no relief. The Doctors
said I would have to have the leg amputated or else go through
life with an angry, discharging sore that would injure my gen
eral health. At last I commenced to take S. S. S., and it was
but a short time until I saw the place was improving, trreatiy
encouraged I continued the use of S.S. S. until it removed all
the poison from my blood and made a complete cure of the
sore. This was five years ago and my leg has remained healed
and perfectly sound ever si nee. JOHN ELLIS.
108 Wyckoff St., Brooklyn, N. V.
What S. S.S. did for Mr. Ellis it can do for everyone who is afflicted
with an old sore or ulrer. He is just one of the thousands who have
cured themselves of these offensive places through the simple process
of purifying the blood, and removing the cause of an old sore with
this great blood remedy.
No matter on what part of the body a chronic sore may be located, '
it is kept open by bad blood. The flesh tissues at the place have been
broken down and the nerves irritated because the blood constantly dis
charges germs and impure matters at that spot. Thus a diseased and
infected condition is maintained and all efforts of nature to heal the
place fail because pure blood is the most necessary thing in the healing
of any sore, especially those of a chronic nature.
The impurities in the blood which produce chronic sores, come from
different causes. A long spell of debilitating sickness which breeds disease
germs In the system, the retention of the natural waste matters of the body
because of a sluggish condition of theeliminative members, or even inher
ited bad blood will produce the infected condition of the circulation that
keeps sores and ulcers open. But it does not matter what the cause
may be there can be no cure until the blood is purified.
One of the strongest evidences of the deep-seated nature of these
places is the fact that local treatment, such as salves, washes, piasters,'
etc., never have any permanent effect. Such treatment only aids In
cleansing the outward Impurities of the ulcer while the blood continues
in its Impure state. Nor will removing the place and surrounding flesh
by surgical operation produce a cure. ' The blood cannot be cut away,
the old cause is still there, and in every instance the sore will
return or break out in a new location.
S. S. S. cures Old Sores by purifying the blood. It removes every
impurity and taint from the circulation, and completely does away with
the cause. When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood the sore begins to heal,
and it is not a surface cure, but the healing process begins at the bottom;
soon the pain and inflammation are gone, the discharge ceases, and the
place fills in with firm, healthy flesh. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, made
entirely from roots, herbs and barks of specific blood-purifying properties,
and it is an absolutely safe remedy for any one to take. Under the
purifying and tonic effects of S. S. S. the system is built up, and those
whose health has been impaired because of the drain and worry of an
old sore will be doubly benefited by its use. S. S. S. cures old sores by
PURIFYING THE BLOOD and removing the cause. Book on Sores
and Ulcers and any medical advice you may wish free to all who write.
