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 BAS E BALL FRIDAY Atlanta vs. New Orleans PONCE DELEON PARK GAME CALLED 4:00 ATTENTION, CONTESTANTS!

CHICAGO, July 11—Despite the or i ders of Mayor Harrison, officers of the • Plaza Athletic club say they will try to . stage the Ketchel-Murphy boxing bout r next Monday night. 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 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 MONEY TO LOAN ON DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY 8 t r 1 c t !y confidential.

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.
