STARS' CHANCES
IN GOLF MEETS
RUINED BY RAIN
By Chick Evans.
THERE is an opinion deeply root
ed In the minds of most Ameri
cans that it rains three-fourths
of the time in Great Britain, and that
in consequence, l the British golfer is
an amphibious creature. I can not
testify to the truth of this belief be
rtytse I visited Britain In a dry year,
but a friend, who spent several
■nonths in the British Isles, assures
me that, although it rained every day
while he was there, the British rain
was not so wet as the American va
riety. Perhaps my friend’s delusion
springs from the fact that almost
every clubhouse In Great Britain has
a, drying room where golfers may
hang their rain-soaked clothing,
while such a convenience is almost
inknown In America, the New Edge-
’water being the only American club
t hat, as far as I know, has made
such provision for its members.
Playing golf in the rain is a good
deal like jumping into a cold tub —
here is always hesitation in the be
ginning, but the act itself Is nevdr
regretted, for the real golfer can not
let a little thing like the rain inter
fere with his game. When a man
has journeyed all the way out to
some country club he is almost sure
to play, rain or shine, and I am
•onfident that playing in the rain
does not injure any one physically.
It is attended, however, with many in
conveniences, and to find enjoyment,
the player must be well prepared
for the weather. He needs an old
pair of shoes and other wearing ap
parel that can be easily dried and
not easily injured. But the best of
rainy-day clothes are usually too
many and too binding for good golf,
and raincoats are an abomination.
1 well remember that W. C. Fownes,
Jr. once spent a great deal of val
uable time trying to invent one suited
to the needs of the golfer.
Moisture Ruins Clsbs.
Personally, I dislike to play in the
rain; I do not like to get my clothes
wet, and most of all, I detect the ef
fect of moisture upon my clubs. The
shafts are always heavily stained,
so that they may withstand the
weather, but water warps wood, and
I do hate to draw a wooden club from
my bag on a rainy day. Then again,
the best grips are supposed to be of
oiled and treated leather, and mois
ture affects them most unfavorably.
So the golfer carries towels, because
wet hands and wet grips are a dis
tinctly disagreeable combination. An
other rainy day necessity Is the
hooded golf bag.
Os course, no golfer expects to play
ids best on a rainy day, but in all
big tournaments, or Indeed any com
petition, golfers must play, regard
less Os the weather. The luck of
the condition Is, however, more deep
ly felt in a qualification round. Per
haps in the morning the course may
have been too fast for the players;
then, between 1 and 2, a heavy shower
comes up, catching those who must
go out then: at 2 the rain ceases and
the latter players start forth under
most favorable conditions, for the
rain has softened the greens and made
the balls more manageable. This is
a chance of the game that affects
almost every score with unequal con
ditions.
Deluge Has Spoiled Tournaments.
Glen View, for a long time, had an
unfortunate reputation for rainy tour
naments, big events there being al
most invariably attended by terrific
downpours.. In the National of 1904.
the river overflowed the second nine
holes, and only the first nine were
playable in the finals. None of the
Western players can forget the de
luge at Denver, and I also recall viv
idly a four-day tournament at Chi
cago Golf when It rained practically
during the whole competition.
These incidents merely teach us
as old fables say. that the real golfer
must be a bit of a philosopher. He
accepts the weather cheerily and
makes the best of it.
MANY MANAGERS ON COAST

Sam Wallach, manager of Leach and

GRAND CIRCUIT HORSES
MOVE ON TO PITTSBURG
CLEVELAND. OHIO., July 12.—The
entire “works” of the Grand Circuit
Is on the move to-day over to Pitts
burg, where the second Grand Cir
cuit meet of the season will be held.
The first one came to a close at
North Randall tracks yesterday with
four trotting events that brought out
a fine quality of sport. Outsiders
shared honors with the favorites. The
Tavern ■•Steak," though previously
conceded to Dago F., was won by
Eulabel, an outsider.
The 2:00 trot went to Jean Arion,
although Eve Cord, driven by Geers,
had been expected to win easily.
The championship trotting sweep
stakes was taken by Anvil, t heavy
favorite, because he trotted the two
fastest miles of the year. The veter
an driver Ed Geers pushed Anvil
around the oval in the remarkably
fast time of 2:04 1-4 in the first heat,
and came right back in the next and
concluding heat with a mark of
2:04 3-4.
WILLIE RITCHIE WILLING
TO BATTLE JACK BRITTON
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.—Ritchie
says that he never received the offer of
Promoter Tortorich, of New Orleans, to
box Britton for a $20,000 purse, though
such an offer had been made through
the press.
Regarding such a b<->ut in Reptember,
Ritchie says that Tortorich would be
treated the same as the other promo
ters and if he hands in the highest
bid he will gladly box in New Orleans
If he does so, Tack Britton, who is a
heavy lightweight, will have to make
133 pounds ringside.
Willie is confident that he ran make
this weight and tie at his best. When
i Ritchie and Britton boxed four rounds

Again Hogg Beats Crackers 6-0

Rain May Stop To-day’s Game
By Percy 11. Whiting.
THE Gulls and the Crackers meet
in the final tangle this after
noon—that is, if the weather is
even halt-way decent. Early in the
afternon the prospects were good that
the game would be played. And, for a
pleasing change, even if it is Satur
day afternoon, the game will be called
at the usual time and will go to a
decision.
The fates forbid that it be another
knock-cut.
One fan sized up yesterday’s game
pretty well when lie said:
“Well, that’s my idea of a WHITE
WASH.”
It was all of that and more be
sides.
The Gulls won, « to 0. and they
did it- with such ease that they made
the Crackers look like the tail-enders
of a Class D leagjie.
• • •
IT’S a hard matter not to acquire a
grouch over a game like that. No
matter how one attempts to wax flip
pant and facetious, the waxing isn’t
any good at all.
it was a gloomy contest.
At that, there were fielding spots
of amazing brilliancy.
Wally Smith fielded like a world’s
champion. Bisland, despite two er
rors, almost evened up bj- some bril
liant work. Stock had a brilliant day,
and he did it In spite of the fact that
Chapman nearly took his head off
with a batted ball, which would have
taken the "pep” out of an ordinary
player.
Hogg pitched another grand game
for Mobile.
The last time he was Ttere he beat
Atlanta 6 to 0.
Yesterday he won. R to 0.
However, he must be getting bet
ter. for the last time he allowed six
hits, while this time, he gave up only
i three.
And it was an awful day for At-
, lanta’s records, for Chapman made
two out of the three hits, while the
big batting stars. Long. Welchonce
and Smith, went hitless.
...
OF course, it would hurt to be
beaten by the Mobile at any
time. But it hurts, especially now
that the Gulls are crippled and very
i much weakened.
If the Crackers can’t win from them
' now, what chance have they when
, the Gulls get back in condition, as
. they are bound to do soon? This is
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS.
what the fans are asking themselves,
and it’s? a serious question.
THE pitching of Dent was a bright
feature. After Brady was knocked
out Dent took up the burden and
carried it well. The Gulls' only run
after he went in resulted from a hit
and an error.
This chap also made a nice play
at the plate when Stock tried to
score on what looked like a passed
ball. Chapman fielded it ami Dent
received the throw and tagged Stock
■ out. risking his legs and his neck in
doing it. It was a game, clever
piece of work.
CA NLY three more games will be
played at home after the Gulls
depart. The Montgomery team Ip to
be here Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. Then the Crackers beat
It away for a long journey.
