THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SAfS EXPERT By Chick Evans. N SW participants in the Western amateur championship at Homewood will never forget I>ella and her wagon full of delicious refreshments at the thirteenth green. Homewood provided many comforts for guests on that important occasion, bi# none more appreciated by weary, thirsty golfers, and, in consequence, a decided novelty was Instituted. Each morning at about 8 o’clock a peculiar looking 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 things needed to gladden the heart of the golfer. If, spurred by curiosity you came closer, you discovered that the queer looking ve hicle was a covered wagon, with a counter running alongside. There were many shelves in its interior and a place for w-ashing glasses. As soon as the long array of glasses were in place the friendly-faced woman climbed in and drove away. Then, when you felt yourself perishing from thirst and fatigue, 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 hill 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, before she knew every player in the tournament and ad dressed each one by name as soon as he came up. She compounded the most delicious soft drinks in sur prisingly quick time and earned the grateful appreciation of every golfer. So much for the pleasant-faced woman behind the funny little coun ter of dhe refreshment stand at Homewood. This wagon refreshment stand is original with Homewood, but other links have their half-way places. Of course, this is not true of links where the ninth and eighteenth holes are at the clubhouse. The nearest ap proach to Homewood’s innovation was a little hand-cart that I saw on the tenth tee at St. Andrews. It is interesting to note that the mother of the Turpie boys ran this stand for a great number of years. On most American courses there are at intervals places for getting water— a necessity on a hot day. Not so in Great Britain. I shall never forget my thirst white playing in the 1911 championship at Prestwick, Scotland. The first nine holes run straight out along the water and the second comes right back without a sign of re freshment anywhere. In my last match there Silas Strawn, best of Samaritans brough me a bottle of ginger, at which I slppel from time to time. The kindness was unfor gettable, and it was then that 1 real ized how well our links are equipped for creature comfort. Thursday’s Game. First Game. Montgomery, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

B. Keeler. 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 atUi 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. • * * VT 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 provider 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 wallpps 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. * * * I F you insist on additional details, the score was 8 to 3; the game went nine rounds and two hours; a son of Efin 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 drown Itself. Also, one of the Browns—the Curly one—was victimized in the fourth in ning by Messrs. Smith and Bisland, leaving only one more Brown, he hav ing a very sore finger, to do battle to-morrow, ♦ • • P\ETAILS 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 Round 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 gui.«w of an angel of mercy. • • • TT might be added that Mr. Bisland A ran his string of consecutive hits up to six by getting two in the second game. N The pitcher tossed him out on his last appearance at the plate. FATHER features: The woundii The wounding of Caivo 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 Agler's grounder over the bag. which went for a hit. A shoe-string catch by Welchonce. Another by Sloan. Another by Jantzen.
