THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
HELP GDLFERS,
SHIS EXPERT
By Chick Evans.
N SW participant* In the Western
amateur championship at
Homewood will never forget
Della and her wagon full of delicious
refreshments at the thirteenth green.
Homewood provided many comfort3
for guests on that important occasion,
but 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 washing glasses. As soon
as the long a,may of glasses were
in place the friendly-faced woman
climbed In and drove away. Then,
when you felt youraelf 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 ope by name as aeon
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 the 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 while 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 1 sippel from time
to time. The kindness was unfor
gettable, and it was then that I real
ized how ell our links are equipped
for creature comfort. .

Simply Can’t Win Two at Once
+•+ +•+
Double Bill Turns Out as Usual
By O. B. Keeler.
A NOTHER trouble with double-
head’ers 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 Mtill 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.
• • •
N 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.
* * *
I F you insist on additional details,
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
drown itself. *
Also, one of the Browns—th$ 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 guise of an angel
of mercy.
• • •
TT might be added that Mr. Bisland
*■ ran his string of consecutive hits
up to six by getting two in the second
game. The pitcher tossed him out on
his last appearance at the plate.
• * •
ATHER features:
The wounding of Calvo Just
south of where he would button his
suspenders If he wc. 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.
Wally Smith stealing second in
broad daylight, while the Billies were
fussing with Rudderham.
' * • •
DEGULAR dally feature:
The Gulls won.
Our chance for second place: A-l.
Our chance for first plar : Z-23.
H APPY thought for to-day:
Elmer $7,000 Brown has a sore
finger.

Baseball Field Day Next Week
+ • +

Wednesday Set for ‘Track Meet’
B ETTER make your plans to get
out to that ball game next
Wednesday, and get out there
early—going to be some extra do
ings.
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 the average
contests on the regular track meet
schedule.

Nine Events for
Water Sports Day
Cups and medals for swimming and
diving events will be contested for

lanta Athletic Club holds it* annual
water sports carnival, open to both

the woman who achieves a similar
distinction. Silver and bronze medals
will be given as second and consola
tion awards. All prizes will be
awarded on points.
To qualify for the cups, contest
ants must enter all swimming and

Here is a list of the events, in
order:
1. One-quarter-mile race for wom
en.
2. Fifty-yard dash for men.
3. Fifty-yard dash for Junior mem
bers.
4. One-quarter-mile swimming race

The field day will include the tra
ditional fungo hitting for distance,
throwing for distance and possibly
throwing for accuracy, 100-yard dash,

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. Mo-
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.
Lewie Hardage Signs
To Coach Mercer
MACON, OA., Aug. 22.—Acting
President J. F. Zellars, of Mercer
University, announced the acceptance
of Lewie Hardage, a graduate of Van
derbilt in 1913, as coach at Mercer to
succeed Dr. C. C. Stroud, w r ho resigned
to go to the University of Louisiana.
Hardage, while at Auburn, made
the All-Southern football team as
halfback, and in the game between
Vanderbilt and Harvard last year en
joyed the distinction of preventing
Harvard from scoring. He Is an all
round athlete, and Mercer considers
herself fortunate in securing him.
PITCHER FOR CARDINALS.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.. Aug. 22.—
