Rt"BE MARQUARD is probably

HODRAY! CAN’T
BE BEAT TODAY
NKW ORLEANS. July 17.—-It is an
off day for the Crackers today, who
pulled in here this morning from Mo
bile Tomorrow would be another day
of rest, too, but for the fact that the
Atlanta team and the locals have an
extra game to play off.
The Atlanta players seem to be down
east. over the three straight they
dropped to the Gulls, and it looks as
though Manager Hemphill has got an
awful job on his hands to pull them
out of the rut.
' Yesterday’s game over in Mobile was
lost, by a score of 6to 4. After having
a three-run lead, young Coombs, who
was on the mound, blew up in the
fourth inning and before the session
was finished five Gulls had dented the
dish with runs.
The only features of the game from
a Cracker standpoint were two home
runs in succession by Whitey Alper
man.

other. And all the morning, as
regularly as a minute gun booms,
players will get away from the first
tee on the long grind that is even
tually to determine the ownership
of a huge mass of assorted silver
ware and incidentally to settle the
question of golfing supremacy’
among the corking good players
who will gather for a trial of skill
over the South s one-ehampionship
course.
All the preparatory work is over
now but the shouting. The course
has been carefully prepared, the
prizes have been bought, the plans
made and by every train golfers
are gathering for the final test of
skill.
It is a good deal of a treat for
the average top-notch Southern
players to get a. chance at the At
lanta course. For it is essentially
a championship course, while the;
average Southern course is a "duf
fer’s course.”
There is no denying that the or
dinary course is laid out to satisfy’
the golfing aspirations of the dub
players. They are always so vast
ly in majority- that the greens
committee panders to them and
smooths out the troubles. The usual
course is laid out. not as a test of
golf but as a round which can be
played with the maximum of dub
bersome enjoyment and the mini
mum of score
In Atlanta they have had the
courage of their conviction® and
have laid out a course that is a
course. They haven't considered
what would probably’ amuse the
poorer players of the club, but have
made a course that most nearly
approaches perfection. A large
part of the credit for the especial
excellence of the local course be
longs to George W. Adair, who w'as
president of the club during the
first three or four years of the
course's history. The -work is now
being carried out along the same
broad lines by President W H
Glenn, himself an excellent golfer
and a believer in real golf courses.
ktO Southern course has had the
N benefit of as much expert ad
vice as the one at East Dake. It
was laid out originally by Tom
Bendlow. of Chicago, who has
planned more courses than any' man
in America—probably more than
any man in the world. The first
professional of the club was Alex
Smith, then open champion of
America, of the East, of the East
ern Professionals association, of the
Metropolitan Golf association, and
goodness knows what all. The
early trapping was done under his
guiding eye. Since then the ideas
of H. H Barker, imported from
England by the Garden City course
because of his wonderful know ledge
of golf course planning; Freddie
McLeod, ex-open champion, the
late Willie Anderson. ex-open,
and J, J. McDermott, present open
champion, have all been secured
on the subject, as well as those of
Walter J. Travis, former Amer
ican and British amateur cham
pion. H Chandler Egan, ex-ama
teur champion of American, and a
slather of other players of note.
The result has been that the local
course has been trapped and bunk
ered according to the ideas of
America's greatest golfing experts.
And it's some golf course.
Over this great course for the
next three days the South's best
golfers will battle, and it should
prove "some contest."
