So here goes a little that the writer knows about him First of all. let me say that Mar quard is the best booster Marquard has. He can talk of nothing but Marquard. He is a spendthrift for Marquard He buys everything that he wants for Marquard Rut he wouldn't tear himself away from a lead nickel to see the Statue of Liberty swim up New York harbor if Marquard wasn t going to get a heap of pleas ure out of it.

CHARLEY FRANK IS RAVING. Charley Ft ink's talk of a special meet ing his protest against Em- pire O'Toole's decision for forfeiting a game to Atlanta is a rich scream.

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. PLAYS TENNIS WITHOUT SHOES: LOSES HIS MATCH BOSTON. July 17 —An Innovation in championship tennis was shown In the twenty-second annual Longwood Cricket club tournament in singles when Hugh Tailant, of New York, in nis match with G. F. Touchard, played without shoes. His feet were encased in heavy socks. but he apparently gained no advantage from the change, as Touchard won all three sets. Wright and Behr provided the star plays In the first round of the Eastern doubles championship which opened yesterday. WOLGAST SAYS HE WILL NOT FIGHT FOR 6 MONTHS LOS ANGELES. July 17.—Ad Wol gast will not fight Joe Rivers on Labor day. The champion plans to go to Oregon for a long rest and will not put on the gloves before the first of next year. T was not right in the last fight.” said Ad. "and I have realized it more every day since the bout. The offer of $50.00(1 front Stockton might have tempted me to try Rivers again in Sep tember. but that offer fell through. As it is now I will not fight before New I Year’s.” GIANTS WILL GIVE GROH ANO DEVORE FOR TYLER CHICAGO. July 17.—John McGraw, of the Giants, is making an effort to strengthen his pitching staff McGraw has offered Infielder Groh and Outfield er Devore for Southpaw Tyler, of Bos ton Kling received a telegram from Mc- Graw making the offer. The deal may go through. PITCHER McGEHEE SOLD TO JENNINGS’ TIGERS JACKSON. MISS.. July 17—Patrick McGehee, pitcher for the Vicksburg (Miss.) team of the Cotton States league, has been sold to the Detroit American league team for $750. ae cotding to announcement made here today Hf is to report at the end of the season McGehee has led the Vicks burg pitching staff this year. 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." • * ♦ 'y'HEY have been playing some interesting professional tourna ments of late. The victory of Tom McNamara, the Boston "home bred" player in the ot>en of the Metropolitan Golf association, was not surprising.

July 17.—Lefty Moran, the Detroit Tigers’ pitcher, who was se cured from Washington and Lee. when* he pitched corking good college ball, lost a hard game to the Red Sox yes terday. He hurled an excellent game, but his support was very ragged. Moran is sure to give a good ac count of himself in fast company. At least that is the opinion of Hub ex perts.
