Whiting. STEWART MAIDEN, profes sional of the Atlanta Athletic club, has left for Chicago to begin practice for the annual open tournament of the Western Golf association, in which he should take a prominent part. This clever .voting professional, a product orig inally of the famous Carnoustie Itnks, has never cut much figure In open tournament, but his game Is constantly improving, and if he hits his stride at all this time he should get inside the money. Many other Southern profession als will take part in this tourna ment. Though it Is strictly the Western open, this event is always a great gathering place for "pros” who are engaged by Southern conrsos. and most of the top-notch ers will no doubt be there —H. H. Harker, of Birmingham; Charley Hall, of Birmingham; W. C. Sher wood, of Memphis; 'John Inglis, of Montgomery, and the rest of the bunch. * • • /GOVERNOR WOODROW WIL -ION tells this one: It was back in the early days of golf, and he and Cleveland Dodge were trying, with 111 success, to master the game. Finally Dodge decided that the trouble was with the clubs. So he went to Scotland and bought a mess of the best that money could buy. He had them shipped home, and when they got to the customs house the befuddled officials clas sified them as agricultural Imple ments. "That," said Dodge, when he paid the bill, "is a deliberate insult." The next day out went Dodge with the new clubs, and, after a grewsome afternoon, he returned, with mind changed. “Those customs officers,” said he. “know more about the game I play than 1 did.” « • * ’ I 'HE Royal ami Ancient Club of * St. Andrews. Scotland, is con sidering some changes in the golf rules. And ft's high time. Os all the doddering codes under which grown men are expected to play a game, there Is not one quite so full of contradictions and Inconsisten cies as the golf rules. Ono change that Is planned Is to modify the penalty for a lost ball in match play from’the present loss of hole to the and distance” of the medal play rules. Another suggestion they are con sidering is that of assessing a pen alty of stroke and distance, In stead of distance only, for a ball out of bounds. The logic of this change is not apparent, especially in this country, where golf courses are squeezed into small spaces many times in order to get them as near as possible to cities, and where the boundaries are often nu merous and troublesome. The following new definition is proposed: "An umpire decides questions of fact; a referee decides questions of golfing law.” Penalty For Wrong “Info." The wording of rule 2 is im proved without altering the mean ing of the rule. The following ad dition to rule 4 is recommended: "A player is entitled at any time during the play of a hole to ascer tain from his opponent the number of strokes the latter has played. If the opponent gives wrong Informa tion as to the number of strokes he has played, he shall lose the hole, unless he correct his mistake before the player has played another stroke.” . It is suggested that rule 18 be al tered to read as follows: "If a player’s ball when in mo tion be interfered with 1n any way by an opimnent or his caddie, the opponent's side shall lose the hole. If a player's ball when at rest be THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. AUGUST 27. 1912 moved by an opponent or his cad die, the opponent's side shall lose the hole, except as provided for in rules 9 (2), 16, 22 (3), 31, (1), 32 (2), and 33. The committee intimates that "Interfered with" will cover the case of a player’s ball being struck by an opponent's ball through the green before the former has come to rest. Bounds Rule Clarified. Paragraph 1 of rule 23 (2) is re drafted so as to avert misunder standings which have been numer ous in the past. It now’ reads: "In order to save delay, If a play er. after making a stroke, be doubt ful whether his ball is out of bounds or not, he may at once play another ball, as provided for in paragraph (1) of this rule, but if it be discovered that the first ball is not out of bounds, it shall continue in play without penalty.” in rule 25, giving permission to remove steps or planks placed 'in a hazard by the green committee for access to or egress from such haz ard, a clause Is added giving per mission to remove similarly any obstruction mentioned in rule 11. In regard to disputes (rule 35), the committee proposes that "if the players have agreed to an umpire or referee, they must abide by his decision.” This presumably ’ pre cludes n reversal of such decision by the rules committee. Special Rules For Match Play. In the special rules for match play competitions, the committee suggests that the punishment for waiving any penalty Incurred by an opponent shall be loss of hole instead of disqualification. They consider that the latter Is too se vere. In rule 1 of the rules for three ball matches It is proposed that -a player desiring a ball to be lifted must, unless It be played, have it lifted before any other ball is in motion. • ♦ • A cablegram from Bad Nauheim the other day brought the news that Colonel Coston, of Cincinnati, had won an eighteen-hole handi cap tournament.

Aug. 27.—The New- York American league club has an nounced the sale of Outfielder Guy Zinn to Rochester, of the International league.

Elberfeld Now Leads in Managerial Race CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Aug. 27.—1 t seems like the one best bet that Kid Elberfeld will be the next manager of the Lookouts. Os course, nothing offi cial has been stated, but every in dication points to the Tabasco Kid as the man who will be finally se lected for the local managerial staff. The former Senator and Yankee and President O. B. Andrews en gaged in a controversy this spring, whose intensity it was thought would prevent the former’s ever coming here, but subsequent de velopments have greatly mitigated the ill-feeling between the two. The one point at variance be tween the two at present appears to be the desire of Elberfeld to pur chase a block of stock in the club and the unwillingness of the pres ent stockholders that he should do so. The Kid, so it is understood, is unw’llllng to sign up under any other conditions.

According to Clark Griffith, the Kid was prima rily responsible for the disruption of the Yankees just before his de parture, and it is a known fact that he refused to have him under his direction at Washington this year. Furthermore, his part in the Mc- Elveen matter in Atlanta indicates to some extent that he is not pos sessed of any too great self-con trol and equanimity.

WONDERFUL FINISH WINS McLOUGHUNTENNISTITLE NEWPORT, R. 1., Aug. 27..—Califor nia’s sweep of the lawn tennis honors of the country was completed yesterday when Maurice E. McLoughlin, of San Francisco, won the championship in singles from Wallace F. Johnson, of Philadelphia, in 3 out of 5 sets. The scores were 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Mc- Loughlin holds the championship in doubles, with Thomas C. Bundy, of Los Angeles. McLoughlin was a 3 to 1 favorite when the players came onto the court, but after the first few games Johnson got his low chop stroke working in ex cellent shape and for two sets the Cal ifornian was unable to handle it. At one time Johnson was within two games of the championship. McLough lin. however, pulled himself together and fathoming the mysteries of the Philadelphian’s low cut stroke smashed the balls across the court and squared the match. After that Johnson tired rapidly and McLoughlin had no diffi culty in clinching the contest and the championship. This is the first year that the tennis titles have gone to tile Pacific coast. ‘DONTJV£GI££TCATAS&iK Even in its early stages Catarrh is a most distressing complaint, known by its symptoms of stuffy feeling in the head and nose, roaring in the ears, mucus in the throat, difficult breathing, etc. When the blood be comes thoroughly polluted with catarrhal matter the inflammation extends to the bronchial tubes, causing hoarseness and often an aggravating cough the stomach is affected, resulting in dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and grad e Rally all the mucous membranes of the body become diseased.

In his search for something that he hopes to keep ■ by him as a permanent badge of success, a ring man will ignore rab bits’ feet, four-leaved clovers and all the old claptrap of the field of superstition and try to locate some thing original. j Peter Jackson pinned his faith to an old pair of fighting shoes.
