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 cast 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 6 to 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 wore two homo runs in succession by Whitey Alper- I 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. Hi= feet were encased In heavy socks. but he apparently gained no advantage from the change, as Touchard won all three sets. Wright anrl 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 Wo|- 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. "I was not right in the last fight." said Ad. "and I have realized it more every day since the bout. The offer of $50,000 from Stockton might have tempted me to try Rivefs again in Sep tember. but ’hat offer fell through. As it is now I win not fight before New Year's."

And all the morning, as regularly as a minute sun 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-championship 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 ['layers 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 f .übles. The usual course is laid ou._ 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 convictions 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 Georg* W. Adair, who was president of the club during the first three or four years of the course’s history. The w ork is now being carried out. along the same broad lines by President AV. H. Glonn, himself an excellent golfer and a believer in real golf courses. • * « xtO Southern course has had the I’ benefit of as much expert ad vice as the one at East Eake. It was laid out originally by Tom Bendlow. of ' 'hicago. 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 know-s 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 knowledge of golf course planning; Freddie Mvbeod, 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. ''handler 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." ♦ * 4 'J'HEY have been playing some interesting professional tourna ments of late. The victory of Tom McNamara, the Boston ''home bred" ['layer in the open of the Metropolitan Ge|f association, was not surprising.

He fig ured both in the Montgomery in'"- tation tournament and the South ern championship at Chattanooga this year, and it will be surprising if he does not turn up for the local event.
