BINS' DEFEAT
IS IN EfJ
Skinny’s an Outlaw from Organized Baseball
C HTCAOO. July 2S — In the aeml-
flnaU for the championship of
the Western Golf Tournament
to-day Edward P. Allis, of Milwaukee,
will be matched with Robert A Gard
ner and Warren K. Wood will oppose
Joseph C. Lcduc.
Two surprises were furnished th r
gallery at yesterday's games, when
“Ned" Allis, the Harvard star, defeat
ed Charloe Evans, Jr., the champion,
and Warren K. Wood, who missed be-
champion twice, each time by 1
point, whs compelled to play 39 holes
to defeat Fraser Hale, of Omaha
The pill of defeat so often admin
istered bv Champion Evans was
swallowed by him when Allis defeated
htm, 4 and 3, in the third round.
Allis Stood Pace Well.
At one time 1n the afternoon, after
Brans had won the sixth and seventh
holes, it looked as if the champion
might at least produce a tight finish,
but Allis never cracked under the
strain and kept on the even tenor of
his war.
A stiff wind from the northeast was
•weeping the course when the cham
pion and his opponent teed off. Evans
had the honor and hooked his drive
close to a trap. Allis pitched his sec
ond 20 feet from the cup and holed
his put Evans, whose second was to
the right of the pin, took one more.
Allis tficed hifi drive for the second
hole Into a bush and chopped out
short, but to offset this mistake
Evans, who had driven 2fi0 yards,
pitched his second into the bunker
guarding the gTeen, and the result was
a half in five.
Both were on the third green in
two, Allis being 30 feet short and
Evans 1& feet to the right of the pin.
They halved in 4. Allis hooked his
next drive to the rough, but his sec
ond Jumped the bunker guarding the
green and ran to 20 feet from the
hole. Evans took three to reach the
green and ran h1s approach close to
(he hole.
Allis Makes Great Shot.
Ants stymied himself on his third
and then made one of the most re
markable shots of the match. Evans*
ball was too close to permit of a Jump
shot, and the boy played a follow bil
liard shot, his ball knocking Evans’
ball a little to the side of the cap and
following in. gtving him the hole 4-5
and putting him 2 up.
The home bote was won by ATTIs.
B-A. Allis, after hooking his drive,
tpade a finensoeond, short of the creek
AUU wits 3 up at the Interval
A good start In the afternoon meant
a lot to Evans, but his chancus went
tobogganing when iUtls won the first
3 hole**, and from fbxt point on it was
only a question If the chunky little
Milwaukeean could keep himself al
ooncert pitch, «« with a lead of six
holes he could clajrn membership in
the should worry" class.

The Sensation of All Diving Acte
JOHN F. CONROY
Lester, Oiero, Smith, Cook
and Brandon and Others
By O. B. Keeler.
B Y way of giving our heroer a
lift on every possible turn of
fortune's w'heel during the
present hectic little road trip, it
rained yesterday In Montgomery.
Diagnosis of this seemingly simple
weather note informs us (.1) that two
games will be played this afternoon,
unless (2) It rains some more; which
means «.8) that the two-ply grapple
probably will end in a dog-fall, so that
(41 the series will have to be decided
to-morrow'.
Assuming It doesn't keep on raining
Most double-headers arc split. It is
hard for a good club to win two games
in one afternoon. It Is nearly as hard
for u decently poor club to lose two.
So it Is rather unlikely that the pres
ent series will be as decisive as it
looked before the bottom fell out.

L AMPING the station of the Nash
ville Volunteers in the Southern
League standing doesn’t offer mu ah
enlightenment concerning the stal-*
wart efforts now making by the man
agement to cheer up that club.
For the present season, that is.
The Vols are more than a dozen
games behind the leaders, and the day
of miracles is popularly reported to
be past.
And yet the wires buzz with ru
mors and well-grounded reports of
deals by which one William Schwartz
is adding to the power of his pay
roll, and, incidentally, to the tax upon
the exchequer.
The late** noise sounds like Mel
ville Brannon, of the spectacular col
lege brand of slab-worker, and the
idea is that Schwartz has snared kim
away from J. Dobbs and that the Ten
nessee Industrialist student soon will
inhabit a Nashville uniform.
Pitcher Boland, of the recently ex
ploded Interstate League, has been
turned over to the Nashville club,
and is expected to succeed Jack
Brackenridge. Dave Bunting, from
the same circuit, also is expected to
join the rookies, but probably won’t
play this sea-eon. Schwartz Is still
dickering for “No-Hit Babe” Adams,
of Savannah, and Hoffman was added
to the roster at a considerable expense
a short time ago.
So it looks as if Sir William might
be looking forward to 1914—which,
by the way, isn’t so bad a thing to
do
• • •
/"CONTINUING In the same happy
vein, it 1b noted that Pre^dent
Hlrsig. of the Nashville club, is un
der way In the direction of Detroit for
a conference with President Navin,
the object being to retain Frank Gib
son. the speedy and hard-hitting lit
tle catcher, for next season
It Is known that other clubs are
sweet on Gibby. and it is possible that
he may be destined to travel with
Detroit in 1914. but Hlrsig i» confi
dent he ha* the inside rail, and be
lieves he will keep his pet receiver.
While in Detroit, Hlrsig will look
over the book* for new material avail
able for his club next year.

TEMPERAMENT.
There are two classes of ball players—
those who have temperament and those
who have brains.
Temperament is an enlargement of the
cranium common among athletes who hit
in the .300 class. Or, one might say that
temperament is temper with a college
education.
A temperamental athlete is as hard to
handle as a greased eel. What though
he has spent the winter prowling about
free luncheries seeking what he may de
vour? In summer he kicks when the
humming birds’ ears are underdone or
the finger-bowls are not filled with rose
water.
Some athletes are condescending
enough to talk in friendly terms *vith
the owner of the club, but such cases
are rare. As a rule he considers it a
favor to allow the manager to talk to
him, and he plays ball only because the
public cries for it. For if he were to
quit, the pastime would be left flat on
its back. *
In order to attain a temperament, an
athlete must first attain a .300 batting
average. Otherwise nls temperament Is
merely a bum disposition, and the man
ager stings him for a fine and kicks him
on the shin. As an Immortal poet once
wrote:
H© thought he had a temperament,
But fo^nd that he had blundered;
For he was fined a whole week’s pay—
He could not hit .300.
Ty Cobb, th© temperamentalest athlete
in captivity, wants to break away from
Detroit. Some say this is due to temper
ament. while others hold that it Is due
to horse sense.
With Archer in the hospital and Bres-
nahan in bad. we wonder what the Cubs
would do if some vile wretch were to
step on Tom Needham’s bunions.
The board of supervisors In San Fran
cisco refuses to allow Sam Langford to
do battle with Charlie Miller. Mr. Miller
owes the board of supervisors a vote of
thanks.
Marty Cutler showed In his alleged
battle with Carl Morris that as a pugilist
he is a good wrestler.
Some day Tyrus Cobb will create a
sensation by announcing that he Is sat
isfied with the way the universe is being
run.
GAMBLING.
(By A. Magnate.!
To gamble is a deadly sin,
A deep and lowly vice.
1 scorn the man who tries to win
By wagering his pile of tin
Upon the rolling dice.
To gamble is a thing of shame;
I look at it askance.
Dame Fortune is a fickle dame.
And so I play a dead sure game
And never take a chance.

CHE EVANS CHEMICAL CO.. Cincinnati, 0.
By Ed W. Smith.
N EW ORLEANS Is now safely es-
tablished on the boxing map
as a safe and sane center in
which twenty-round contests may be
held. At least this is the statement of
Dominick J. Tortorlch, the Jimmy
Coffroth of the South, who has firm
ly put the game back on a standing
akin to the conditions that prevailed
there In the good old long ago. New
Orleans, be it remembered, had some
of the most famous battles of ring
history decided in its environs, and
threatens now to take Just as promi
nent a place as it got when John L.
Sullivan and Jim Corbett, Bob Fitz
simmons and Jack Dempsey, Jack
McAuliffe and Billy Myer, Fitzsim
mons and Jim Hall and Dan Creedon
and others of that class were bat
tling for real titles.
* * *
T)Y sheer force of character and
^ through demonstration that the
boxing game can be kept free from
scandal, and that it does not verge
into the old class of “prize fighting,”
Tortorich has carried matters along
until he has won over almost every
executive in Louisiana to his way
of thinking, and it is not believed
that there will be any further oppo
sition to Dorn’s plan of holding
twenty-round contests from now until
next Spring. And Dom believes he
will be able to show all of the box
ers that It will be strictly to their
interests to pay some attention to the
nice offers that he Is going to make
to them.
