ROSY FUTURE
L P. MIS
By “Oaiok” Evans.
C hicago, ill., July 30.—The
Western has come and gone,
and we have a new and very
representative champion. Wood has
played golf of championship quality
for many years, and has been finalist
in the Western three times and once
in the National. His friends—and
they are legipn—are delighted that,
after years of trial, his fine golfing
skill is fltttingly rewarded.
The surprise of the tournament was
the playing of E. P. Allis III, of Mil-
*vauKee, and fie has certainly made
himself a big star in the golfing
firmament. He was almost the whole
show iat Homewood, and certainly did
remarkably well. In dohsequdflce,
much interest was taken in an analy
sis of His game. Golfers I consulted
were unable to decide whether he had
^ good golfing form or not. It was
easy to be seen that he hap been
playing for a long time, for his *ame
was developed during the era of the
hook, and he play? eVerv shot with
that additioh. except his puts. This
is an excellent way of playing, when
it goes right, but without constant
practice it has manv dangers. Allis
plays all his shots’ off his right foot—
that is. the position of his ball is
nearer the right foot than the left,
a stance not seen very often. His
swing was not too full, but of a
strong, even, full length.
Approach Puts His Best Shot.
His best shot is an approach put,
and I am glad to see that he uses an
iron putter rather than a barred cen
ter-shafted type. Not only does he
put his approach put so close that It
is impossible to miss the nrxt one,
but he frequently holes it. His put
ting stance is a good one, hut known
a long time. He puts both elbows
out along the line of play, he hangs
his putter well and he does not in
dulge in the needless habit of nut
ting the blade ih front of the ball.
Mr. Allis’ next best shot is hl.s ap
proach shot, which he plays with a
pitcher, a club with a rounded bot
tom and a loft, between a machie
and a niblick. Strange to say. he hooks
this shot with a turn-over of the
head and gets splendid results. The
rest of his game Is fair. He has lit
tle confidence In wooden clubs, and
his long irons have too large a hook
to be reliable. He knows little about
bunker shots, but had little uce for
this knowledge at Homewood; also,
his shots ou* of the long grass are
not good. These shots will come
in time, and his golf future looks
rosv, indeed.
Possessing an ideal tem
perament and an abundance of
“nerve” and every thoroughgoing
sportsmanlike '•“’•Hlty. a champion
ship of fiatidn-wide importance may
not be far away from him. His nam?
must be added to the ten or twelve
National possibilities this* year.
Too Many Good Golfers Absent.
From a golfing standpoint* the
tournament last week was not very
strong It is* true that there wer?
good golfers there, but the players
who qualified did not comprise all of
the very best players In the West.
Thefe were too many absentees. The
best golfing round was a 72, and the
best two rounds were Ned’s medal
plav, 72 in the morning against me
and an eflsv finish for the fame score
in the afternoon. The scores ran be
tween 75 and 80. rather than below
75. The weather, the golfer’s best
friend or worst enemy, was perfect.

BRITISH PAPER FINDS AN
ALIBI FOR TENNIS TEAM
LONDON, July 30.—An anonymous
letter appearing in The Standard to
day declares that the English compet
itors in the Davis cup tennis matches
were the better all-round players, but
that the Americans won the trophy
because McLoughlin had mastered
and concentrated his play on a smash
ing service, In which any number of
English players could have equally
perfected themselves.
"Thus the cup was won, ’ the letter
continues, "bv a trick, though a per
fectly legitimate trick within the
: ru ies which does not further the best
interests of lawn tennis, and unless
this smash service is barred, like the
spot stroke in billiards, tenniB is with-
ing measurable distance Of death.’
CHICAGO FOLLOWS LOCAL
EXAMPLE IN MARATHON
CHICAGO, July 30.—A 26-mlis
Marathon rare will he the feature of
the card at the Riverview Motordrome
to-night, it being the first event of He
kind ever scheduled for decision at
the North Side track. Wiley Gibson,
o" F* Louis who holds the Marathon
race record of 10:45. will ride against
the field, which will be composed of
Mike Caffarella Kenneth \ errfill, kl
Fe'-alak, George Aleyera and La Mar-
D ON’T be surprised if this com
ing campaign you read of Pat
rick McFarland butting into
the heavier fellows’ game.
For unless the authorities govern
ing the execution of the mailed fist,
whoever they are. move the weight
beam of the lightweight class, that is
what will happen.
McFarland learned while In train
ing for his ten-round contest with
.Tack Britton that he can take the
measure, inch by inch, of middle-
weights. Eddie McGooity, one of our
mes* prominent 158-scale artirans,
worked out with Packey for the Brit
ton go. The black-haired and Sven-
gali-orbed Irishman, gave Ed a box
ing lessoft every day of the Jousting.
* ■* •
N OW. McGoorty is accredited a
clever gentleman, the cleverest
in his department Outside of Gibbons,
and a stiffer hitter with his left. He
cah feint out an opening and drive
his punch in ahead of an opponent al
most as well as anybody, and he
knows the counters. Still McFar
land, ring patlance adopted for the
moment, “mode a monkey out of him."
While working out for the Britton
festival, Packey likewise learned that
the fat does not leave his body as
readily as it used to, for the reason
that there’s not much fat on him. An
ounce over a certain small amount
and he is removing Solid flesh. A
good trainer will not allow his man to
train off solid flesh except under rare
eireumnt&nces. such as when a big
forfeit must be saved.
• * •
P ACKEY did not train hard enough
for Britton, or rather did not give
himself enough time to reduce to the
prescribed figure. It does take time
In Packey’s case. As a consequence,
when he got in New York, he had to
resort to the Turkish bath to make
the weight and he went into the ring
registering in the neighborhood of
140, with a yellow look on his face
and circles underlining his eyes.
McFarland has not been a legiti
mate lightweight fod »two years or
over. But he is a smart fellow and
has been getting away with morn
stuff than any boxer In the profes
sion. He has had pounds on most
every man he’s boxed for many a
day. More power to him for doing
it. but the end probably came In the
Britton affair. The public saw how
big he was, and now he will indeed
have to show some sharp tactics r.o
get on with any more lightweights.
What’s more. I don't think Packey
wants to. He's taking on more
muscle.
• * *
T HE hardest task McFarland fic a s
is that of making weight. He
does not do this often—only when
the coin is thick and tawny—but
there’s no doubt he considers it in
the light of a crime, for who wouldn’t
If hp were as wealthy as Packey and
as high in his chosen trade. It Is
not the fighting that’s distasteful to
these veterans; it’s the training.
It’s not hard to detect the dose
of Packey’s tirade among the light
weights. He can’t get on with Rit
chie. for he's too big. He has
whipped Britton. Cross and Murphy,
so there is not much show for him
there unless he wants to undergo
the agony of again making a low
weight and 1 surmise he is past that
stage.
There‘s a load of money in the
bigger divisions for Packey .Mack,
without as much effort as his “light
weight” affairs call for, and he has a
noble chance for the halo of the
middle ranks.Packey wants to be
called a dhaitiblon before he leaves
fistic wnrfar^- another authorized
fact—so the zodiac seems to point tj
an enlargement of activity for the
stockyard star.
DANVILLE HURLER WORKS
NO-HIT SHUT-OUT GAME
DANVILLE. ILL July 30— Harry
Chapman, pitching for the locals, shut
out Bloomington y£«*terday without a
hit. Danville winning 5 to 0 This is
the first time this feat ha« been ac
complished in the Three I League this
f 'ar l
Bv Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, ILL., July 30.—The}’ are
saying a lot of sarcastic things
about the white hopes just now
because* one or two of them made
the matement when Sam Langford
landed in this country that they had
put up the bars and would not meet
a colorpd fighter. Jess Willard, out
on the Pacific Coast, is credited with
the statement that he would have
nothing to do with th<* black fighter,
and Arthur Pelky, Tommy Burns’
gladiator, is said to have given ut
terance to somthing Along the same
or*er. The?*' statements caused many
sporting wrtters to say mean things
about the “white hopes.”
* • •
IT is a queer situation. It can be
A summed up in this wise: The
white man is roasted and toasted for
declining to have anything to do with
thp blacks. Yet not one of the men
who are saying these unkind things
about the white men could find a sin
gle place in America where a match
between a big white man and a star
black could be staged! There is no
s’ufih place on the map. So why Mould
there be a howl because the whites
decline to mingle? If Willard or Pel-
kv agreed to take on Sam Langford
they couldn’t find a promoter any
where who would stage it.
• * *
A LMOST as soon as the announce
ment was made that Langford
was on his way back looking for a
lot of trouble, .the subject of mixed
matches came up. and they were
promptly tabooed in th# chief boxing
centers. New York wan one of the
first to nut the bah Oh. and Cali
fornia followed in a hurry. In most
of the other spots where boxing is*
tolerated, and Is not protected by any
State law. it would be the next thing
to Suicide for a promoter to suggest
such a thing as a mixed match, es
pecially With such a man fis Lang
ford engaged. Why, then, with no
chance of any such matches in sight,
comes all this talk about this one or
that one being afraid?
• * •
THEBE are enough blacks to go
1 around, and there is only one
chance for them. That is to oaiile
among themselves ahd settle the
question. They say Langford isn’t
what he was. that jack Johnson has
passed his best day. that Jeanette is
there strong, and that McVey, etc.
With the black heavies placed the way
they are. there should be little trouble
in getting a settlement among them-
selvec. During the trouble the white
heavies can settle their own conten
tion among themselves, and every
body will be satisfied.
m m m
THE first of these white contests
' will be flashed in New' York Au
gust 5 between .Tirn F*1 ynn. of Pueblo,
and Gunboat Smith, of Philadelphia.
Jack Curley, who is handling Flynn's
affairs, verv truthfully and tritely re
mark* 1 : “They may be a bad lot.
these big white fellows, but there
must be a best man among them.
That’s what we want to try and un
cover.” There Is every reason to be
lieve that the public will become in
terested if we ever succeed in get
ting a “best man,” one who stuck out
n*e Luther McVartv did when he met
his unfortunate end.
• * »
B UT there isn’t now and won't be
for a good long time any de
mand by the public for mixed
matches. The public was taught n
severe les*sofi In the last big mixed
match, and there doesn’t seem to
be any hankering for a repetition, or
even the possibility of a repetition of
such an affair as that at Reno in
1910.

Thus a lovesick poet warbled

But when things are breaking badly
And the team goes on the blink.

Quoth Charlie Somers, the well-known
baseball Impresario: “Few of the major
league clubs will show a dollar profit

We note that Sam Langford Is match
ed to fight some mysterious person
whom he does not know. We might glso
say that said fighter’s relatives will not
know him when Sam has finished the

It is said that red-headed men have
great executive ability. Likewise it is
rumored in England that red-headed

While we look upon tennis as con

Two Games With Gulls—Perhaps
By Joe A^ler.
M obile, ala., July 30.—one of
the hardest rains I ever saw
spoiled our chances, of cleaning
up on the Guile yesterday, or maybe
it spoiled the Gull*' chances for
cleaning up on u«, the way things
have been going lately.
Anyway, about ten minutes before
time for the game to be called, the
bottom fell out and there never w.is
a chance for the game. We are going
to try to wind up the full series by
playing two games this afternoon.
Clarke and Conzelman will do U)c»
pitching for our side, with Chapman
and Dunn back of the wood.
The team will present a new link
up. and may not work very smooth
ly at first. But at any rate the
Cracker* will go into the rest of the
campaign without cripples. Holtz, the
new outfielder, will play in right this
afternoon, Manuah will be at third
and the captain. Wallop Hmlth, will
play seconn.
Wally, by the way, is a proud fath
er to-day, and he is about the proud
est I ever saw. He got a telegram
yesterday afternoon late that Wallop
Junior, weight 9 pounds, hhd arrived
at the Smith home in 4*t. Louts and
was stopping with his mother.
Wally Immediately converted his
home run of the day before into
cigars and all the boys were smoking
on him last night.
We will be mighty glnd to get back
home, if only for three days, arid our
friends will have a chance to look
over Clarke, Love and Holtz, who
have joined the team since it left
home.
I
Bt ERECTED ON HONEST OF ALL
S D sure are those who are pro
moting the exhibition polo game
at Fort McPherson a week from
to-day that the game will prove a
success that they are planning for a
permanent club and grounds.
It is not unlikely that the club will
be located on Ponce DeLeon avenue,
JuK oppoaltp the baseball park. This
would be an ideal spot. It wouldn’t
cost a heap of money to tear down
the old amusement buildings that now
“decorate” the grounds.
Would Bs an Ideal Spot.
The club would ourely prove a suc
cess if locatel there. It would be only
a fifteen-minute ride on the street
car, and the members could easily get
out there after business hours, enjoy
an hour or two of playing, and still
be home In time for dinner.
The backers of the polo venture
have alw looked over a stretch of
land out Peachtree Road, not far
from Buckhead. Another desirable
location wo’uld be at the Speedway.
The track could be torn down. There
la an ideal clubhouse there now.
while the grandstand would surely
ne a marvel to witness a polo match
from
6am* Sure to Be a Succe**.
There is no doubt about the game
next Wednesday being a success.
Everybody is talking about it. The
Capitol City and Athletic clubs will
turn out en mnssp. It is not un
likely that these two foremost clubs
will form teams for a match a few
weeks later.
The Fort McPherson team, which
comprises four lieutenants, captained
by Lieutenant Hornsby Evans. Is hard
at work training. Tom Weaver.
Lamar Hill. Dr. J. O. Heamons. who
will play on the All-Southern team,
will start practising to-morrow.
Two crack players from Routh Caro

SHUPTnINE CO.. SAVANNAH. UA
By Billy Sunday.
Old-Time' Ball Player and World-
Famous Evangelist.
E verywhere i go i am asked:
"jfre you still interested in
baseball?”
You might as well ask a Califor
nian, “Do you love the sunshine?" or
ask an old ex-fire horse, "Do you re
member the sound of the gong?"
Baseball is and always will be loved
and honored by the American people
as long as it is kept clean and free
from gamblers and crooks and from
the taint of suspicion that it’s not on
the sunare. It is on the square, al
though a hunch of lobsters have tried
to cast a cloud over the game.
I don’t believe the game is any
faster to-day than twenty years ago.
I do not believe the players are any
classier or speedier than in the past.
• • *
'T'HERE are sofne fine twirlers in
* the game, but I w'ill put old John
Clarkson, Amos Ru*ie or Charlie Rad-
bourne up with any of the pill sling-
ei* of to-day. Why, when any of
these old Sports cut loose in the box
all you could see was a w’hite streak
going over the plate, and the tem
perature would drop three degrees as
the ball phot past.
They double-columned the fact that
Ty Cobb scored from second base on
an infield hit. Why, Bud, I pulled off
that same *tunt two time* In one se
ries over twenty years ago. I used
to go around the bases in fourteen
seconds from a standing start. It’s
the player who has plenty of gray
matter and pa*s**s up the booze W'ho
keeps in the Bpotiight.
SITS HEDGES
S T LOUIS, MO., July 30.—Presi
dent R. L. Hedges of the
Browns returned from a trip to
Montgomery. Ala., last night, with
Branch Rickey, the club's secretary,
and the announcement that he had
exercised his option on Pitcher Ed
Manning and bought Outfielder Wal
ker, of the Montgomery team.
Still another player from the same
club may be obtained before the close
of the reason. The Rrowns paid J4.000
for Walker, who Is esteemed the best
asset on the club, in the fielding de
partment
Doesn't Want to Buy Club.
President Hedges, when asked If he
had closed n deal to buy the Mont
gomery club, said he had not.
"Furthermore. I don't expect to.
The club Is a loser, and worth noth
ing. Montgomery is a town of 40,000
persons, half of whom are negroes.
The team has never been a money
maker, and in my opinion can never
he made a paying investment. For
the sake of a place to send my plav-
ers, I might havo bought the club,
but til# price was laughable.”
Incidentally, Hedges took occasion
to deny the rumor that has been go
ing the Southern rounds that Man
ager Johnny Dobbs, of the Montgom
ery club, would be made manager of
the Browns.
Dobbs Will Not Lead Browne.
“Dobbs is the smartest man In the
Southern Teague to-day," declared
Hedges. "He could be manager of
any one of four teams if he cared to
accept the job. But as for his com
ing here, you can dismiss that from
your mind.
“Dobbs, however, is a better major
league manager than half the men
now In charge of big clubs to-day."
President Hedges stated that he ex
pected to go to Indianapolis Satur
day. He wants to look over the play
ers of that club. Hedges will also
fake a. peek at Niehoff, of the Louis
ville club.
