Au* 80.— That loud wall Harry Co- veleskle omitted In regard to the “quitting” proclivities of Wee Willie Prough looks to be only another case of pot calling the kett* black, and If the big Pole doesn’t do atome fancy sidestepping. hie slafms on the Baron slabber are liable to prove a boomerang. Bill Schwartz and other members of the Vols almost laughed themselves to death when they read the yarn Coveleskie was spinning about Prough picking out the soft spots and being a bit too much of a saffron hue to tackle the Crackers. In order to pre serve his record for the Rose trophy The Vols now claim that the Giant Killer passed up his regular turn in the box to sidestep the Schwartzmen. who always take kindly to Harry’s* bender*. It was on the Vols’ last visit to Lookouttown that Elberfeld ad mitted. ho the Vols assort, thfit tin future Tiger would not go in against Bill Schwartz's crew. The locals al ways made the going so rough for “Covey.” You know I am nurs ing Harry along for that medal,” the Tabas* o Kid is quoted as having given as his reason for sending Rudy Som mers to the hill in the Pole’s place. m m • N OBODT can blame Elberfeld for picking the «oft places for hla star fllnger and not Jeopardizing hla chances for the Hose medal by send ing him out against a club which Is pretty apt to give him a drubbing. Hut It certainly 111 become* the big Pole to holler "quitter" against Prough. BUI Is only working on the same system which the Lookout boss admits he Is following In Harry's case. BUI Schwartz, while on the subject of medals holds the opinion that neither Prough nor "Covey” la right fully entitled to be called the "best pitcher In Judge Kavanaugh’s cir cuit," no matter If their records do show this pair of stars to be so far out in front of the slabbers' field "The man who should be entitled to a medal Is the pitcher who can go In there whenever his club needs him, either to take Ms regular turn In the box, or to pull a gaxne out of the nre," says Bill. “A pitcher like El mer Brown, for Instance. Of course, he has no more chance to cop the Rose medal than I have the one for base-stealing. But Brown has been worth a whole lot more to Dobbs than either Prough or Coveleskle. Ht Is always ready to work. In turn or out. He goes In there to pitch his head off, when some other pitcher Is being mauled, and he pitches for the Montgomery club to win the game, not ro that Elmer Brown can win a gilt badge. • • • it'T'HESE medals are all wrong, any- 1 how. What good do they dot And I can show you a whole lot of harm they cause. They stir up bit terness among hall players, in gen eral, they break up teamwork for fellows will get to working for n field ing or batting record and won’t risk chances on a lot of plays, for fear they will hurt their fielding or bat ting record. Look at that Cobb-Eajote scandal over In the American League, all on account of the Chalmers trophy, and just as long ns some fellow who thinks he Is causing a stimulus n hitting, running or pitching, keeps tin offering prizes, Just so long are vou going to see bad feeling crop ping out among the plmyers.” And after you stop to think It all over the Vols' boy pilot hasn't had a bad guess at that.

"Mrs. Britton is not going to sell.” declared President Britton this morn ing. “I can’t understand how such a story could be printed We are ex tremely disappointed with the show ing of the team this year, but Mrs. Britton is making every effort to etrengrthen the team for 1914. “Many players have been bought, and we are willing to spend $100,000 to aecure new material 1 will say one thing, and that Is that there will be several important trades during the winter. “Manager Huggins Is negotiating with rival managers, and we have told him to complete any deal he sug gests that will be an Improvement for the Cards.

HICAGO, Aug. 30.—A large num ber of Western amateurs have recently received Invitations from the founders of the National Golf Links of America to compete In the annua] Invltatjon tournament, beginning on Thursday, September 11, and ending on September 13. It lc Indeed an honor to be asked to complete In an event that furnishes the severest tent of golf in America This tournament follows so clonely upon the National that competitors in the latter event can easily play in the former—if they have the time. It is a matter of great regret to me that my business will prevent m»» from taking part 1n it this year, and my regret is all the deeper because I had the pleasure of playing the firm tournament of the National Golf Links of America and realize fully Just what I am missing. Many Noted Player# There. I had heard something of the Na tional golf links of America before I went there. For a number of years the building of the course had been going on. and rumors of the great work had traveled as far as Chicago. In 1911 the national championship was held at Apawamis, a really good course at Rye. just outside of New York, and this year found the Na tional golf links almost completed. The first of their tourneys was then and there Instituted, and all of th*- players of note and some other# were Invited to participate. There were ’many unforgettably pleasant circumstances surrounding this event. Immediately after the National final we visiting players were driven In an automobile to the Yacht Club at Rye, where we boarded a motor boat, and soon we were headed for a large, dark-look - lmr object, studded with twinkling lights, which proved to be the private yacht of Ledyard Blair. Mr. Blair was commodore of the New' York Yacht Club and his yacht was the flagship. Evan# Finishes Third. In the morning, off In the distance we saw a atrip of land that recalled a bit of British coast. The new clubhouse loomed prominently above the sand. and we knew’ we were at our journey's end. Some of us were put up at the clubhouse, but Albert Seckel. Mr. Hilton and 1 stayed at Chateau Hencoop, C. B MacDonald’s beautiful home at the edge of the course. The tourney was a big success, and 1 was fortunate enough to win one of the prizes. The playing seemed remarkable at first. Herreshoti won low score with an 84. and something like 95 ended the I myself played the only double figures of my life when I took 12 on the sixteenth 1 made 89. and ins*ead of being woefully out of the running, as I supposed. I qualified third. It seemed strange to see these men w ho had bten consistently scor ing 75 or better piling up strokes in lavish fashion. Rut there we were up against the severest test of golf in the world It was a thoroughly delightful event, however, only marred by a plague of mosquitoes, and these insects, being unaccustomed to dining on Englishmen, seemed particularly desirous of making a meal off Mr. Hilton. Perhaps they were cham- is very interesting. Lying up along the shore at the end of Long Island Is this bit of whaf an Englishman might consider ideal golfing land, treeless and sandy, with the gentle and frequent undulations of a British seacoast. The prime mover In the building of this course was C. B. MacDonald, who did so much for Chi cago golf. The Idea was to construct a course composed of eighteen exact reproduction* of famous British holes. This has accordingly been done, and the resemblance to the originals is startling. Details have been carried out w’ith astonishing exactness, and the only criticism to be made is the difficulty of the course. No poor golfer can be expected to play successfully eighteen ouch holes In one round. BOXING News of the Ring Game l— - ■■■■■■—J “Commish” Picks on C. Murphy sS English Course Is Model.

WHITE LECTURES FANS. MOLINE. ILL., Aug 30—“Doc” White, of the Sox spoke to more than 500 fans here at the reception for the local shop league players. “The trou bles, of the big league pitcher” formed his theme. HY pick on me?” That is what President Murphy, of the Cubs, Is asking these days. Usually the first matter to be taken up at a session of the National Com mission, that is. after the first for malities have been disposed of, is to decide -the paramount question— “What shall we do to Murphy to day?” This is not a defense of President Murphy, hut Isn’t the National Com mission a little harsh in its treat ment of the owner of the Cubs? Murphy was recently fined $500 for farming out players to Louisville. Is It possible Murphy Is the only “farmer” In the National Leawae, and are no rural citizens in Ban John son's organization? If there are other farms in both leagues why is it Murphy is made the goat and a fine of $500 is dropped on his shoulders ? Maybe the Commish knows, and Its word Is law; in fact, the* baseball moguls who shape the destinies of the national game, and shape them to suit themselves, work on the the ory “the King can do no wrong,” and they are “the King.” It is the opinion of more than one who has been following the national pastime for a number of years that if any National Commission would do a little prospecting it might suc ceed in finding a number of so-called ‘farms” in both big leagues. * * * \T AYBE the National Commission is working on the theory that .Murphy is not only a farmer, but also a rube. If so. there are several baseball moguls who are slated for a rude awakening some of these days. • • • T T will be many moons before the 1 world will see another Weston.
