In other words, the clubs of the Southern League could lose two men by draft each year instead of one. not to speak of the other dis advantages of a lower classification, such as a lower price for the men drafted The fact that only half the popu lation of towns supporting two teams with the protection of organised ball can be considered in determining the classification of a league was brought out this spring, when Charley Frank attempted to put the Cotton States League in New Orleans. President Kavanaugh informed Frank at that time that Secretary Farrell of the na tional association would reduce the league rating if the plan were per sisted in. YANKS BUY MONTREAL STAR.

N Y . Vug. 30 — • The national amateur golf tourney which opens here Monday will have 150 entrants .Whe Mitchell. the famous ' English golftft may not compete He j has been derived in coming to this J 1 country to qualify. By Chick Evans. C 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 annual invitation tournament, beginning on Thursday, September 11, and ending on September 13. It Is indeed an honor to he asked to complete in »n event that furnishes the severest tent of golf In America This tournament follows so closely 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 me from taking part In it this year, and my regret is all the deeper because I had the pleasure of playing the first tournament of the National Golf Link.*? of America and realize fully Just what I am missing. Many Noted Playera There. I had heard something of the Na tional golf links of America before 1 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 ApawamK 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 others were invited to participate. There were many unforgettably pleasant circumstances surrounding this event Immediately after the National final we visiting players "ere 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- ine object, studded with twinkling lights, which proved to he the prlva*e yacht of Ledyard Blair. Mr. Blair was commodore of the New York Yacht Club and his yacht was the flagship. Evans Finishes Third. In the morning, oft in the distance we saw a strip 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 Scckel. 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 i tfa* fortunate enough to win one of the prizes. The playing womed remarkable at firsv Herreahofi won low score with an S4 and something like 95 ended the flight. I myself played the only double figures of my life when I took 12 on the sixteenth. I made 89. and ins*ead of being woefully out of the running, as 1 supposed. I qualified third. It seemed strange to see these men who had been consistently scor ing 75 or better piling up strokes in lavish fashion. But 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 particulars desirous of making a meal off Mr Hilton. Perhaps they were cham pion mosquitoes English Course Is Model. The histor> of the construction of the National golf links of America is very interesting. Lying up along the shore at the end of Long Island Is this bit of what an Englishman might consider ideal golfing land treeless and sandy, with the gentle and frequent undulations of a British aeacoast. 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 reproductions of famous British holes. Thl3 has accordingly been done, and the resemblance to the originals is startling. Details have been carried out with astonishing exactness, and the only criticism to be made is the difficulty of the course. No pour golfer can be expected to play successfully eighteen vuch holes in one round. BOXING News of the Ring Game “Commish” Picks on C.

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 season 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, but Roi’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 i& the only “farmer" in the National League, 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. • • • M AYBE the National Commission is working on the theory that I Murphy is not only a farmer, but also a rube.
