Invitation Golf Tournament
At East Lake Will Be Bearcat
Invitations are out and final plans are
hsing made for the second annual invita
tion golf tournament of the Atlanta Ath
je>ic club, which is set for July 18, 19
end 20.
The first tournament of the local club,
held last fall at East Lake, was a big
c ., t -. C ese, but not a circumstance to what
is promised by the coming event. Os
course it labors under the handicap of
being the last invitation tournament of
the year and of coming at the end of a
long string of good events.
On the other hand it has the advantage
of offering to golfers a chance to perform
in a tournament over the best golf course
in the United States—a real golf course,
suited to the needs of real players. Any
players who want a real test Os skill over
a tough course are certain to take in the
local event.
The affair will be run along conven
tional lines. Four sixteens will be quali
fied and there will be cups for the de
feated eights in each flight. This means!
that every player who beats 150 strokes
in rhe qualifying round will get In at least
three rounds in the tournament, even if
he loses every match.
The first day of the tournament will be
given over to the qualifying round. This
will be at eighteen holes. On the morning
and afternoon of the second day match
rounds will be in order. On the last
day the semi-finals will be played in the

PLENTY OF BROWNS IN
MAJOR LEAGUE NOW
Don’t walk carelessly. You might
step on a young pitcher. Two more of
the. ambitious ones are in the harbor—
Brown and Davis. Brown seems to be
a pitching name of late. A few years
ago there was a catcher named Brown,
a first-bagger of the same name, an
outfielder. Tom Brown, and another
one, George Browne. Now all the
Browns are pitchers. Chicago has one,
the St. Louis Browns have two Browns,
the Athletics have one, -and the Reds
have hived one also. If the Red Brown
can prove better than the Brown
Browns, and equal to the Cub Brown—
aw, come away, sunstroke is impend
ing!
REDS’ SCOUT IS HERE.
LOOKING FOR PITCHERS
Heinie Peitz. the. scout of the Red team,
watched what ther'e was of yesterday’s
ball game at Ponce DeLeon.
Peitz is especially anxious to locate
pitchers and was keen to have both games
played, so that he could got a line on
what Birmingham and Atlanta have to of
fer. Ae Sitton and Foxen, who worked
yesterday in the fragmentary contest,
were old timers and had done their tAne
In the big leagues, he didn’t get much
chande to find out What he wanted to
know.
FRANK DESSAU WILL
PROBABLYGET RELEASE
It now looks very much as though
Frank Dessau will be the next Cracker
to hear the can rattle. The big right
hand twirldr has been on the ineligible
list for six days, which leaves but four
more days for him to remain idle, as the
league limit for ineligible players Is ten
days. The Atlanta club can probably
have his ineligible time extended, but it
is not likely he can be reinstated, as he
has already been relnstaed by the league
once before this season.
DOUBLE UMPIRE SYSTEM
FAILURE IN SOUTHERN
Jack O’Toole and Theodore Breiten
stein, two Southern league umpires,
have been dropped from the staff by the
league president. At the tsart of the
present season ’President Kavanaugh
introduced the double umpiring system
in the Southern association for the first
time. As to the umpiring, it worked
fine, but the lack of attendance in many
of the cities and the many postponed
games made it impossible to pay eight
arbitrators. Breitenstein will probably
join the pitching staff of the New Or
leans team while O’Toole will have to
look elsewhere for a job as index
handler.
INITIATIVE INVOKED TO
LEGALIZE BOXING BOUTS
LOS ANGELES. July 11. -Sportsmen
here are preparing initiative petitions
for legislation to establish the legality
of limited round boxing contests
throughout the state. The ballot in
the general election next November is
likely tb bear two proposals relating
to boxing, one fathered by the church
interests to prohibit absolutely all pro
fessional ring contests, the other,not
only to preserve the present status of
the pugilists, but to extend the range of
their activities within the state.

Old- Time Baseball Stars
Entitled to Most Credit
Modern Tendency to Discredit Work of Great
Performers of Long Ago.
By DAMON RUNYON.
OLD-TIME fans seem to feel
that there is a modern-day
tendency to discredit the
work of the baseball stars of the
long ago. The arguments over
Rube Marquard have probably been
largely responsible for the develop
ment of this feeling. As a matter
of fact, the old-timers of the game
are entitled to much moije credit
for their accomplishments than
their modern successors, just as the
pioneers who blazed the paths
through the wilderness are entitled
to more credit than the descend
ants who live in peace and quiet
as a result of the achievements of
their forebears.
It would be idle to say that Mar
quard’s record approaches that of
Charley Radbourne, when it is
considered that Radbourne made
his run of eighteen straight victo
ries practically on consecutive
days. The style of pitching, or the
distance pitched, makes no partic
ular difference—the physical and
mental effort was there. It would
be equally idle to contend that any
modern-day ball club will match
the record of the. Red Stockings of
'69 and '7O. The base running of
the Lathams and Hamiltons and
Stoveys of the bygone time will
probably never he touched by
modern-day players.
Certain it is, too, that not many
of the catchers of today would
stand the gaff that the old-timers
took —catching day in and day
out without gloves or protectors.
Sufficient
Glory For All.
Rube Marquard is a marvelous
pitcher and he has hung up a rec
ord that will probably stand for
many years to come; he will prob
ably be remembered for his work
as long as they play baseball, but
so. too, will the Clarksons and the
Radbournes, and there is sufficient

But as for belittling the work of
the old-time stars—-NO, J wasn’t
there to see them, but I’ve been
told, and I believe.
Big league scouts engaged in
beating the far sticks report that,
there is little promising baseball
material in sight, although this
seems to be the usual cry at this
time of year. They also say that
the minor league owners want too
much for what few prospects there
are. The amount reputed to have
been paid for Marty O'Toole, and
various other players last season,
has Inflated the ideas of the small
owners, and they decline to talk
anything but young fortunes at this
season of the year.
For instance, Kansas City, of the
American association, has a short
stop modestly priced at $15,000. He
Is "Red” Corriden. who was once
in the big show with St. Louis. In
137 games with Kansas City last
season Corriden hit .247 and stole
17 bases. They say he has im
