M'DONALD LI MAN IN PAYNE TROPHY PLAY Rain Made Golf Difficult in Qual ifying Round at East Lake Course Saturday. K. R. COBB SECOND WITH A CARD OF 76 Plucky Showing in Heavy Show ers, Only Two Being Dis qualified for Stopping. By W. R. Ticlienor. F IFTY-FOUR players defied the rain and returned cards in the qualifying round of the tour nament for the J. Carroll Payne tro phy yesterday afternoon at East Lake. J. K. McDonald returned the lowest net score, having a 74, which was two strokes better than his nearest competitor, K. R. Cobb. Nearly every player was caught at some point on the round by one of the several showers which fell dur ing the afternoon, and many of them played more than half of their round in the rain. The disqualification of a bunch of players in the last tournament for taking shelter during the rain which came up during the qualifying round had the effect of keeping the play ers moving in the tournament, and it was necessary to disqualify only two of them for discontinuing playing and taking shelter and these two did not know that they were violating the rules. Following are the qualifying scores of all who returned cards: Name. Gross Score. Hdk. Net. J. K. McDonald . . 87 13 74 K. R. Cobb . ... 97 21 76 H. C. Moore . . . 88 10 78 H. P. D.

A PAIR OF DRIVING CLUB TENNIS STARS Colonel Carthew-Yorstoun, Crack British Player, Talks of the Game’s Requirements. “EXPERTS MUST PRACTICE, EAT, SLEEP AND LIVE POLO” Colonel Van Orsdale Offers Fort McPherson Parade Ground for Practice Matches. By O. B. Keeler. P OLO In Atlanta. The phrase has a curiously pleasing sound. Polo, with its tang of British India and R. Kipling; its smack of Newport, and Devereux Milbum and the Waterbury brothers and society at large and In particu lar. And all the romance of the West chester Cup, and the international matches, and the $100,000 strings of ponies, and red waistcoats and green turf. And so on. Dr. J. A. McLeay, Lamar Hill, Sam Slicer, Dr. J. O. Seamans, Tom Weav er hnd the officers at Fort McPher son think all of that. Dr. McLcay, who played the game in Canada, is keen to start it in At lanta. In Atlanta, so there might be well-dressed exhibition matches framed in large and densely populated motor cars. And challenge matches with nearby and Northern teams. And maybe (later on) tournaments, with visiting fours from the big plubs of the East and West. To which end, Dr. McLeay already has obtained a cordial welcome ,from Colonel VanOrsdale to the big parade ground at Fort McPherson for prac tice and exhibition matches. Furthermore, Dr. McLeay has con sulted an authority on the subject— Colonel M. E. Carthew-Yorstoun, late of the British service in India. * • * pOLONEL YORSTOUN lives at ^ East Lake. For his personal di version he prefers golf to polo, hav ing badly broken an ankle years ago training a fractious polo pony. That was in India. And It means that Colonel Yorstoun knows polo from the ground up, having played it upward of twenty years in the land where more polo is played than any where else in the world. And in Colonel Yorstoun’s expe rienced estimation, polo In (Atlanta is a most desirable thing. Says the col onel: “There were years on end at Poona, over near Bombay, when my first waking thought would be, ‘Is this polo day?’ If it w r as I couldn't get into my clothes fast enough, and then the round of the stables, and the looking over of ponies, and the limbering-up gallop—and^then the crisp ‘click’ of the first shot, and the drumming of hoofs on the turf. “That’s the way polo takes hold of you. “And if it shouldn’t be polo day, why, there were the raw ponies to be trained and taught, and hard shots to be practiced, and if the weather should be bad there were the wicker ‘wall horses,’ dummies for you to sit on, taking swings at rolling balls, fed you by grinning native youngsters, who would roll a ball at you and then duck behind a barricade to es cape your drive. “That’s polo—and there’s nothing like it.” And the colonel, despite his ankle won’t admit it’s a very dangerous game. One must have a good seat and hands; good hands are very nec essary. But if your ponies are well trained—and that bring up another point. * * * T HE trained polo pony plays about half the game, in partnership with his rider, lie follows the ball; follows the ball as a cat follows a skittering mouse. There’s next to no such thing as riding with wraps in polo. You may see the loose, free seat and rein of the nonchalant cow puncher, combined with the swing and dash of the most Spectacular game on earth, in the performance of every* polo crack. The ponies know the game. It becomes an instinct with them, lige the bloodhound’s scent or the bird dog’s inborn faculty. mm.

READ FOR PROFIT AMERICAN “WANT ADS” USE FOR RESULTS By Joe Agler. M ONTGOMERY, ALA., July 26.—The color scheme of two- ply killing at the hall park this afternoon was blue and brown—especially Brown—and you could broadside the caps on that and not apologize. The scores were 2 to 0 and 3 to 2, and the Crackers, on the shy end in each case, continued to skid toward the second division. 'Pile Bilikens’ weather man finally got the climate under con trol to a certain extent, and the Billies and the Crackers got to gether for the fatal bargain day ball. A huge crowd turned out, principally due to the advertis ing power of $7,000 worth of pitcher, which was exploited in box car letters in the public prints this morning. And that is precisely what the luckless Crackers faced in the opener. There was $7,000 worth of Elmer Brown on that hill. And he looked all of that. Here are a few things that Elmer did to celebrate his purchase by the Hon. (’harlp* Ebbcts, all the way from Brooklyn: Elmer fanned eleven Crackers. He had only seven Innings in which to operate, or he probably would have gone further and the Crackers would have fared wor.se. Besides, Elmer had been living In Alabama so long that the 7-11 combination appealed to him strongly. Elmer permitted four hits, which settled sparsely among the several rounds of play. Elmer walked one Cracker. At a late hour last night no good reason had been produced for that maneuver. Elmer Simply Was There. In short, and In fine, and as a mat ter of fact, Elmer had everything a $7,000 slabman ought to have, and enough loft over to help out a wab bling $22,000 beauty or two. The rest of the film is devoted to a peckish little attack on Joe Congel- man. It wouldn’t have amounted to anything had the Crackers been pitted against an ordinary human pitcher. But those two little runs were just twice as many as the Billies needed with E. Brown on the hill. Now, just keep your seats for ■-* minute and the next reel will star', after a few advertisements have been thrown ora the screen, showing Charles* Lbbets flip-flopping about his new ball park and Charley Jones counting his rrfoney. Now we start. Still a Sepia Tone. And here we have another sepia setting, with warm tones of Brown predominating. This Brown is of th© common or Charley variety, making the third Charles that has horned into this brief tragedy. He is sometimes known as “Curly," by reason of the decep- tiveness of his hookball, which starts from the fork-hand side. Brown II was fairly good. What was better, he was plastered with four-leaf clovers. Thing point Is, he got by with it. There was not the eclat about his method that distin guished that of the expensive other Brown. But he got by. Had the second encounter been a life-sized game, the Crackers might have got an even break on the day’s work, as they were beginning to bunch them on Curly toward the finish. But Price, who had,been sent home to rest and evidently hadn’t rested long enough, was pounded sav agely in the first two innings. Then three runs in Dutch, Clarke came on and wasted a fine job of pitching through the Inability of the Crack ers to abolish the lead gained off Price, One hit was the extent of Clarke’s suffering at the hands of the reckless Billikens. • Hit Curly Hard. The Crackers kept after Curly and got a run in the fourth Inning, after two were out, when Manush hit for three bases and scored on Dunn’s two-bagger. They got another in the sixth, when Dong beat out a bunt and Alperman tripled. Curly got his hooks to working and Whitey lan guished on third while Smith, Manush and Dunn tried vainly to rescue him. Knaupp opened the second inning for Montgomery with an exceedingly long home run over the center field fence. Two more hits and an error gave the Billies another in the same frame, but that was all, as Clarke was boBs all the time he was on the job. Another feature that , might be mentioned was the canning of Bls- land and Manager Dobbs for debat ing with Umps Fifield In the second game. Fifield’s work was sufficient excuse for debating, to say it softly. Dent Works To-day. The club leaves to-night for the Mobile series. Dent is due to open the ball there, with Chapman catch ing, and the boys believe they are due to shake the jinx before coming back home. Bill Bailey will be out of the game several days, possibly weeks, with an injury received from a pitched ball in New Orleans. The X-ray will be turned on Bill in Mo bile in an effort to find out how badly he is damaged. HENRIKSEN RECOVERING.
