Byrd Defeats Tilson and
Captures Trawick Trophy
F. G. Byrd Is the winner of the Trawick
cup of 190(1, and has agsln proved his claim
to the title of champion golfer of Atlanta.
Mr. Byrd won his final match Thursday,
defeating W. J. Tilson by a score of 8 up
and 6 to play.
The affair was all but n slaughter. Mr.
Byrd waa playing the phenomenal golf
which haa characterised his game through
the entire match, and had easy sailing nil
the day. Ills long game was reinorknhlo
and his short game steady and effective.
In his match against Mr. Tilson he was
In the lead from the very start. He took
the first and second holes nnd only n phe
nomenal put- by Mr. Tilson kept him from
winning the first five straight, ns he did
from Mr. Hill on the previous day. Ills
work when his ball got In trouble was ea-
peclally noteworthy, and his recovery on
the ninth hole, out of the mud, was the
best that has Iteen seen during the tourna
ment.
Mr. Byrd's score for the first nine holes
was 43, which Is phenomenal, considering
the bog-llke condition on the greens and
the cyclonic efforts of the wind, which was
tearing across the course at a 50-mlle clip.
The match ended at the twelfth hole,
when Mr. Byrd waa eight up.
W. V. Hill, mho waa defeated by Mr.
Byrd Thursday by a sedre of 4 up and 3 to
play, perpetrated the prlxe imn mot of
the tournament after the Byrd-Tllaon
match, when he aald: "Byrd humiliated
me, but be disgraced Tilton."
The score on Trawick cups at present
stands: Byrd 2. Illll 2. Mr. Byrd won In
1904 nnd 1906 and Mr. Hill In 1903 nnd 1906.
By a strange coincidence, l>oth times Mr.
Illll won the match In which he heat Mr.
Byrd lasted 20 holes, nnd both times Mr.
Byrd bent Mr. Illll he did It by a score of
4 up nnd 3 to go.
Nnm Trawick, the donor of the Trawick
cup, Is In Ccdortown at present on a visit,
but will return to Atlanta Saturday night
at 7:56 o'clock. Immediately thereafter the
thirty-two players who took part In the
tournament, together with any other mem
bers of the Atlanta Athletic Club Interested
In golf, will meet at the town club house,
where the cup will he presented
Sain Trawick lias offered another Trawick
enp to be played for over the Atlanta Ath
letic Club's course at East Lake In the fall
f 1907. The Trawick cup haa been an an-
mini feature of the local golfing world for
four years, and the golfers of the city are
deeply indebted to Mr Trawick for the cups
and the plensure which has been afforded
In playing for them.
The local golfers aro already making plans
to descend In a body on the Birmingham
golf club next month for the Invitation
tofarnnmont which will he held there the
second week In October. Handsome prises
hnvo been offered, and It Is reported that
the course Is In first-elnss condition. A
delegation of ten or a dosen men will prob
ably go over from Atlanta.

EDDIE HANLON
HOT FAVORITE
Bnn Francslco, 8opt. 28.—During the

money came In very small lota. J
sporting man express*! It, most of the men
who bet most heavily on contests of this
nature wanted to back lianlou, while the

faurled the other.
The winner of tomorrow'a event will be
asked to meet Kid Herman, of Chicago,
within the next few week*. The looer will
be erased from the Hat of attractions. The
knowledge of what tomorrow will reveal
lu the mutter of loat or added prestige will
probably help to make tbe dash spirited.
Hyland nnd Hanlon will weigh lu at 7

WEIRD DOUBLE
IS EXECUTED
It Isn't often that a man starts a dou
ble play and geta an assist by being
hit on the head with a batted ball all
the the same time, but Cameron, of
Boston, did it the other day. The Na
tionals were playing against St. Louis
and O'Hara scratched out a single and
Burch followed him at bat. Came
ron pitched him a high one and he
lined It down toward ttyi pitcher's box.
It came so fast that Cameron could not
dodge and the, ball cracked him right
on top of the head. Fortunately for
Boston, it bounded high and back In
the direction of home plate aud Catch
er O’Neill went under It and caught It
before It touched the ground. That
put Burch out and when O'Neill threw
to first O'Hara waa easily retired.
Cameron got an assist for his part In
Se play, but he had to retire from the
game, suffering with a bad headache.
NEXT GLIDDEN TOUR MAY
BE RUN THROUGH SOUTH
,Washington, D. C„ Sept. 28.—If the
Glldden automobile tour Is to be over
a Virginia route next year with Nor
folk and tho Jamestown Exposition the
goal, the cars entered for the trip will
meet with great obstacles and bad
roads, according to C. Royce Hough,
manager of the Pope Manufacturing
Company, who was one of the party of
three which made the trip from here
to Norfolk last week.
"It will be a question of the survival
of tho Attest.” said Mr. Hough today.
“There will be no perfect scores. Of
course the route Is possible for the
tour, but I don't believe any but the
best cars will go the whole trip. Many
of them will have to ship. I drove our
party every foot of the way. At one
time, down there In the swamps near
Norfolk I was going steadily for three
hours and a half and made only 22
miles. That shows you how hard the
going la."
It waa proposed to have the Glldden
tour start next year from Chicago. In
dianapolis and St. Louis with the goal
at Norfolk, so that the tourists could
lake In the Jameatown Exposition at
the end of their 1,000-mlIe run. With
a view to flndlng out the advisability
of this route through Virginia, Mr.
Hough and Mr. Claudy made the trip.
In my opinion," aald Mr. Hough,
“It Is a fairly good route for the Glld
den tour, because of the very fact that
there will be no perfect scores. But
also there will be no easy driving be
tween Richmond and Norfolk, nnd I
think it will be Impossible for thef
Double and Triple Passes
Features of Tech Practice
Tech field was a busy spot Thursday
afternoon and In spite of the rain and
wind a large squad of players were
out and working like beavers under
the direction of Coach Heisman and
Assistant Coach Bean.
One feature of the practice which
brought wonderment to the followers
of football who saw the practice on
Thursday for the first time was the be
wildering array of passes which were
dished out by the Tech team.
Double passes, triple passes, for
ward and back, this way and. that—
they were all worked by the Tech can
didates and already the members of
the team are beginning to take kindly
to this novel development of the game.
Coach Heisman may or may not work
fancy pass plays In the frames this sea
son, hut he Is certainly giving the play
a thorough try-out In practice.
The hardest thing for the spectators
to reconcile themselves to Is the for-
ward pass. It Is so contrary to all the
old rules and precedents that when the
ball goes shooting up the field In x
forward pass It seems Inevitable that
some fatal mistake has been made, and
that the team will be sent back and
penalised for that breach of football
etlquet.
In spite of the fast work that If be
ing done by the Tech team It Is obvious
that the material Is not up
standard, and that Coach Heisman will
have to do wonders to develop a win
ner this season.
SINCLAIR IS EASY.
