THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
SIS EXPERT
By Ohick Evans.
N SW participant* in the Western
amateur championship at
Homev'ood will never forget
Stella and htr wagon full of delicious
refreshment* at the thirteenth green.
Homewood >rovided many comforts
for guests on that important occasion,
but none more appreciated by weary,
thirsty golfers, and, in consequence,
a decided novelty was instituted.
Each mon ing at about 8 o’clock a
peculiar loo dng wagon stood near
the regular bar of the Homewood
Country Club, and a large friendly
faced woman could be seen stowing
away in its depths, in a most busi
ness-like manner, bottles and glasses
and other t lings needed to gladden
the heart of the golfer. If, spurred
by curiosity you came closer, you
discovered tl at the queer looking ve
hicle was a covered wagon, with a
counter rui ning alongside. There
were many a selves in its interior and
a place for v ashing glasses. As soon
as the long array of glasses were
in place th. friendly-faced woman
climbed in ; nd drove away. Then,
when you fel yourself perishing from
thirst and iatigue, you saw again,
on the thirteenth green, the woman
and her wagon, and you hailed, joy
fully, Homewood’s benevolent insti
tution.
The thirteenth green is at the top
of a high hi! and the climb up there
is steep and tiring.
Warren Wood told me that the
name- of the proprietress of this
movable refreshment booth was Della,
and I do not think that any one knew
her last name. It was not - long,
however, be’ore she ^ knew every
player in the tournament and ad
dressed eact one by name as soon
as he came i p. She compounded the
most deliciojsi soft drinks in sur
prisingly quick time and earned the
grateful appreciation of every golfer.
So much or the pleasant-faced
woman behli d the funny little coun
ter of the refreshment stand at
Homewood.
This wagcn refreshment stand is
original will Homewood, but other
links have t ieir half-way places. Of
course, this It not true of links where
the ninth a d eighteenth holes are
at the clubl ouse. The neareK ap
proach to lomewood’s innovation
was a little mnd-cart that I saw on
the tenth te- at St. Andrews. It is
interesting t t note that the mother
of the Turp e boys ran this stand
*or a great number of years. On
most Americ in courses there are at
intervals pla :es for getting water—
a necessity < n a hot day. Not so in
Great Britai 1. I shall never forget
my thirst w llle playing in the 1911
championshij at Prestwick. Scotland.
The first nlr * holeR run straight out
along the wa or and the second comes
right back without a sign of re
freshment a lywhere. In my last
match there SilRs Strawn, best of
Samaritans', brough me a bottle of
ginger, at which 1 sippel from time
to time. Tl e kindness was unfor
gettable, and it was then that I real
ized how we I our links are equipped
for creature ’omfort.

A NOTHER trouble with double-
headers is that they cause you
to forget so many things.
Bright incidents of a happy child
hood fade into the dun and misty
past about the fourth inning of the
aftermath. Luncheon is contempo
raneous with the Boston Tea Party,
and breakfast might have been nego
tiated among the pyramids, then un
der construction.
You catch yourself wondering
vaguely if the Mexican trouble has
finally been settled, and if the Re
public still endures.
The only thing that sticks out
prominently enough for your memory
to sit'down on and suffer is that fact
that Dinner will be cold, and there
will be a debate with Friend Wife.
• * *
T HESE drawbacks would not draw
back so far. if only the Town
Boys could win both games.
But that never happens, apparently.
If anybody wins two games in one
day, it is the visiting club.
• • •
OW, there was the first game yes-
^ terday. If your recollection sur
vived the second section, you will re
call that Gilbert Price pitched.
We do not have to trust to mem
ory, having entered Mr. Price’s name
duly in the book at the time.
The same system of accounting
provides us with the information that
Mr. Price got away with it in easy
fashion; that Tommy Long accumu
lated a double and a triple; that
.Wally Smith shot off another three-
ply hit; and that Bisland got him
self four wallops in rapid succes
sion, the total attack of the Crackers
totting up fourteen blows.
From these few meager facts It is
possible for an expert to deduce the
reason why Mr. Price got away with
it in comfort, almost in luxury.
* * *
T F you insist on additional details,
A the score was 8 to 3; the game
went nine rounds and two hours; a
son of Erin named Jantzen had an
off day in left field, and Tommy Long
made the prize catch of the lay-out
on a drive organized by Gribbens
which was headed for the Chatta
hoochee River and in a fair way to
dro'CVn itself.
Also, one of the Browns—the Curly
one—was victimized in the fourth in
ning by Messrs. Smith and Biwland,
leaving only one more Brown, he hav
ing a very sore flnger r to do battle
to-riiorrow.
• • •
FYETAILS of the later combat are
fresher but lack somewhat of
being more fragrant.
The most popular thing that hap
pened in that engagement was Rud-
derham calling time after Roupd 6
Carl Thompson was permitting the
Billikens to land on his goods, and
the help, notably T. Long, was add
ing bases and bases to the length of
the wallops. After being tied up a
couple of times, the mine exploded
In the guest portion of the sixth and
Ruddy posed in the guise of an angel
of mercy.
• • *
IT might be added that Mr. Bisland
A ran his string of consecutive hits
up to six by getting two in the second
' e. The pitcher tossed him out on
ast appearance at the plate.
• * •
FATHER features;
The wounding of Calvo just
south of where he would button his
suspenders if he wo.e any.
Two grand stops by Elwert, one a
meat hand stab of Aglers grounder
over the bag, which went for a hit.
A shoe-string catch by Welchonce.
Another by Sloan.
Another by Jantzen.
Wally Smith stealing second in

FEDERftTIDN
B ERLIN, Aug. 22.—The “Interna
tional Athletic Federation” was
formally organized here, the
United States, Great Britain, Can
ada, Australia, South America, Egypt,
Belgium, France. Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hun
gary, Austria and Switzerland being
the charter members.
J. S. Edstrom, of Sweden, is slated
for the federation’s ^residency. The
delegates adopted statutes which de
fine the functions of the association
as “the drafting of rules for interna
tional athletic competitions, the reg
istering of world, Olympic and na
tional records and the drafting of a
common definition of an amateur.”
The delegates also showed a desire
to exercise an Influence over future
Olympic games by the appointment of
a “committee on Olympic games,” un
der the chairmanship of S. G. Moss.
The American delegates are Presi
dent Gustavus T. Kirby and Secretary
James E. Sullivan, of the Amateur
Athletic Union; Colonel Robert M.
Thompson and Josenh B. McCabe. In
the new federation Mr. Sullivan is
chairman of the committee on rules
and Mr. Kirby is a member of the
committee on the definition of an am
ateur, which is under the chairman
ship of Franz Reichel, of France.
The federation will meet biennially,
beginning with a congress to be held
at Paris, in 1914. It will b? governed
in the interim by a council composed
of seven members elected for four
years.
The federation will meet biennially,
ben harmonious. Ticklish questions,
such as penalties for false starts, the
elimination of walking events and
ambidextrous shot-putting, as well
a9 the definition of the amateur
status, have not yet been reached.
The proceedings are being conduct,
ed principally in English, the general
international athletic language, and
then translated into German for the
benefit of the few delegates who do
not understand the English language.
Baseball Field Day Next Week

Wednesday Set for ‘Track Meet’
B ETTER make your plans to get
but to that bail game next
Wednesday, and get out there
early—going to be some extra do

A Field Day, in fact.
The only thing that resembles a
baseball Field Day is another base
ball Field Day.
The events are peculiar to the
game; indigenous, we might say, only
we have a vague idea 'that that re
fers to tomatoes or climes or some
thing of that sort.
Anyway, a baseball field day is lots
of fun. and as a matter of calm and
reflective fact the events really are
more spectacular than th* average
contests on the regular track meet

McLoughlin Favorite
Against Clothier
NEWPORT. R. I.. Aug. 22.—The
scheduled match between Maurice
McLoughlin, the California wizard,
and William J. Clothier, one of the
best tennis players in the world, was
the magnet that drew another big
crowd to the courts here to-day. Mc
Loughlin was a slight favorite in the
“gentlemen’s betting.”
There were only ten contestants out
of the 148 entries still left in the
battle when play started to-day. Half
of these, it was expected, would be
eliminated before nightfall. The semi
finals will be played to-morrow.
