ATLANTA LLOfmlAN AM) N'LWS.
C HICAGO. July 25.—In the »eml-
fin ils for the championship of
the Western Golf Tournament
to-day Edward I*. Allis, of Milwaukee,
will he matched with Robert A. Garu-
nor and Warren K. Wood will oppose
Joseph O. I^educ.
Two surprises were furnished thf
gallery at yesterday’s games, when
Ned” Allis, the Harvard star, defeat
ed Charles Evans. Jr., the champion,
and Warren K. Wood, who missed be
ing champion twice, each time bv 1
point, wav compelled to play 39 holes
to defeat Frazer Hale, of Omaha
The pill of defeat so often admin
istered by Champion Evans was
swallowed by him when Allis defeated
him, 4 and 3, In the third round.
Allis Stood Pace Well.
At one time In the afternoon, after
Evans 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 way.
A stiff wind from the northeast was
sweeping 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 2ft feet from the cup and holed
his put Evans, whose second was to
the right of the pin, took one more
Allis vllced nis drive for the second
hole into a bush and chopped out
short, but to offset this mistake
Evans, who had driven 26ft yards,
pitched his second into the bunker
guarding the green, and the result was
a half in live
Both were on the third green in
two. Atlis* being 3ft feet short nni
Evans 15 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 2ft feet from the
hole. Evans took three to roach the
green and ran his approach close to
the hole.
Allis Makes Great Shot.
Allis 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, hip ball knocking Evans’
hall a little to the side of the cup and
following in giving him the hole 4-5
and putting him 2 up.
The home hole was won by Allis,
5-6. Allis, after hooking his drive,
made a fine second, short of the creek.
Allis was 3 up at the interval.
A good start in the afternoon meant
a lot to Evans, but his chances went
tobogganing when Allis won the first
3 holes, and from that point on it was
only a question if the chunky little
Milwaukeean could keep himself at
concert pitch, as with a lead of six
holes he could claim membership in
the "I should worry” class.

The Sensation of All Diving Acts
JOHN f. CONROY SU
Lester, Diero, Smith, Cook
and Brandon and Others
By 0. B. Keeler.
B Y way of giving our heroes a
lift on every possible turn of
fortune’s wheel 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 (3) that the two-ply grapple
probably will end in a dog-fall, so that
(4) the Furies 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 a 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 '•landing doesn't offer much
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, ami, incidentally, to the tax upon
the exchequer.
The latenoise sound:? ilke Mel
ville Brannon, of the spectacular col
lege brand of slab-worker, and the
idea is that Schwarts has snared him
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
Rrackenrldge. Dave Bunting, from
the eame circuit, also is expected to
join the rookies but probably won’t
play this season. Schwartz is still
dickering for "No-Hit Babe” Adams,
of Savannah, and Hoffman was added

So it looks-as If Sir William might

by the way. isn’t so had a thing to
do.

CONTINUING in the same happy
^ vein, it is noted that President
Hirsig, 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 Hirsig i* confi
dent he ha*< the inside rail, and be
lieves he will keep his pet receiver.
While in Detroit, Hirsig will look
over the books 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 wifh 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 with
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:
He thought he had a temperament,
But found that he had blundered;
For he was fined a whole week’s pay—
He could not hit .300.
With Archer in th*» hospital and Bres
nahan In had. 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 Lrngford to
do battle with Charlie Miller. Mr. Miller
owes the board of supervisors a vote of
thanks.
Marty Cutier 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,
.4 deep and lowly vice.
I seorn the man who tries to win
IIy wagering his pile of tin
Upon the rolling dice.
To gamble is a thing nf shame:
1 look at it askance.
Dame Fortune is a fickle dame,
And so I play a dead sure game
And never take a chance.
AMERICANS WILL MEET
BRITONS IN NET MATCHES
WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND, July 25.—
The interest of the tennis world will be
focused to-day on the championship
matches at Wimbledon, where the
Americans will attempt to win the
Dwight F. Davis international tennis
trophy. England will spare no effort
to defend the cup. which is the last re
maining token of her former athletic
supremacy.
The two singles matches will be played
between Maurice E. McLoughlin, of Ban
Francisco, facing J. C. Parke, whose
unexpected victory last year over the
noted Australian. Norman E. Brookes,
was Instrumental in bringing the cup
to England, and R. Norris Williams, of
Philadelphia, meeting C. P. Dixon.
Parke fell an easy victim to the Cali
fornian in the open English champion
ships, but a round of tournament play
since Is said to have greatly improved
his form England pins her hope on his
ability to defeat McLoughlin, who Is
reported to bo stale. English critics
are united in declaring there is less than
*‘T5" difference between Wi.dams’ play
and that of McLoughlin. A greater
crowd is expected than the crush which
attended the Wilding-McLoughlin
match.
JESS WILLARD AND BILL
YOUNG STILL HOPING
FILLINGEM AND WILDER
TWIRL TWO GREAT GAMES
CORDELE, July 25.—Seldom, if
ever before In the history of organized
baseball, has a re^prd been made that
would compare with that of Fillin-
gem and "Baby” Wilder, pitching for
Cordele In a double-header against
Waycross Wednesday. .Fillingem
went nine innings for a shut-out game
with no hits, and Wilder twirled a six-
inning game, allowing no hits and no
scores, striking out nine men.
By this remarkable record. Fillin
gem and Wilder have proved them-
selvet* the star twirlers of the Em
pire State League. Not only has a
no-hit. shut-out game been pitched
before in the league, but the fact that
Cordele took both games with the
same brilliant record makes it a
precedent that will probably not be
equaled, though the league is main
tained for years, for which prospects
now appear very favorable.
RAIN STOPS RACES.
BUFFALO. N. Y., July 25.—Heavy
rain yesterday afternoon stopped the
Grand Circuit races at Fort Erie after
the first heats of the 2:09 and 2:11 pace
Weather permitting, the two unfinished
races and the free-for-all pace will be
run off to-day and the Grand Circuit
stars will move along to Grand Rapids.
Ty Cobb, the 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.
LOS ANGELES, July 25.—Jess Wil
lard and BUI Young, “white hopes.”
were matched to-day for a 20-round
boxing bout August 22 at the Vernon
arena. Willard hopes to make a few-
successful starts here against Leader
lights, and then will go after a "Gun
boat” Smith match again.

N 'PIW ORLEANS 19 now safely es-
tabllshed 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. Tortorich,’ 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
u 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.
