t f ' TTTF: ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. itS LAUGH AT POLE'S CHARGE AS TO PUGH N ashville, tenn., Aug 30.— That loud wall Horry Co- veleskie emitted In regard to the “quitting" proclivities of Wee Willie Prough look* to be only another cafe of pot calling the kett* black, and If the big Pole tfoesn t do gome fancy sidestepping, his slams 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 Covele^kie was spinning about Prough picking »ut the soft spot* and being a bit oo much of a safTron hue to tackl' the Crackers, in order to pre- *»*NAc hi» record for the Bose trophy The Vols now claim that the Giant Killer passed up his regular turn in the t>ox 10 sidestep the Schwartzmen, who always take kindly to Harry's bender« It was on the Vols’ last viaJi to Lookouttown that Klberfeld ad mitted, no the Vols assort, that 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 1 am nurs ing Harrv along for that medal," the Tabasco kid is quoted ns having given as his reason for sending Rudy Hom- mers to the hill In the Pole’s place. * » • N OBODY can blame Klberfeld for picking the soft places for his star flinger and not Jeopardizing his chances for the Rose medal by send ing him out against a club which 1* pretty apt to give him a drubbing But it certainly ill becomes the big Pole to holler "quitter" against Prough. Bill is only working on the same system which the lookout boss admits he is following in Harry's case. Bill Schwartz, while on the subject of medals holds the opinion that neither Brough nor "Covey" Is 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 Ptars 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 his regular turn In the box, or to pull a game out of the fire." says Bill. "A pitcher like El mer Brown, for instance. Of course, he has no more chance to cop the Rose medal than 1 have the one for base-stealing. But Brown has beer, worth a whole lot more to Dobbs than either Prough or Coveleskle. He 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 pitche s for the Montgomery club to win the. game, not so that Elmer Brown can win a gilt badge. • • • u'T’HFFE medals are all wrong, any- 1 how. What good do they do" And 1 can show you a whole lot of harm they cause. They stir up bit terness among ball players, m gen- oral, thev break up teamwork for fellows will get to working for a Held hig or batting record and won’t risk chances on a lot of plays, for fear they wilt hurt their fielding or bat- tine record. . . . "Look at that Cobb-Lajole scandal oyer In the American League, all on account of the Uhalmers trophy, and i ist ;.s long as wune fellow who thinks he is causing a stimulus n aitttng, running or pitching keeps an offering prizes. Just bO long are von going to see had feeling crop ping out among the players" And after you stop to think It all over tie* Vois’ boy pilot hasn’t had a bad guess at thAt.

By Chick Evans. C HICAGO, Aug. 30.—A large num ber of Western amateur* have recently received Invitations from the founders of the National Golf Link* of America to compete In the annual' invitation tournament beginning on Thursday, September 11, and ending on September 13. It Ie indeed an honor to be asked to complete in an event that furnishes the severest te. c 't of golf in America Thi* tournament follow* so closely upon the National that competitor* 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 flret 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 link* 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 1!H1 the national championship was held at ApowRmis, a really good course at Rye, Just outside of New York, and tiiiw year found the Na tional golf links almost completed. The first of their tourneys was then and there Instituted, and all of th*' playerr of note and some others were invited to participate. There were many unforgettably pleasant circumstances surrounding this <*vent. 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 ing object. Miudded with twinkling lights, which proved to be the private yacht of Ledyard Rlair. Mr. Blair was commodore of the New York Yacht Club and his yacht was the flagship. Evans Finishes Third. In the morning, off in the distance we suv 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 elubhouae. but Albert Se« k- i. Mr. Hilton and l 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 neemed remarkable at first, llerroshoti won low score with an j 84.. and something like 95 ended the flight. 1 myself played the only I 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 who had been consistently scor ing T5 or better piling up «nroke? 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 particularlv desirous of making a meal off Mr. Hilton. Perhaps they were cham- I pion mosquitoes. English Course Is Model. The history of the construction of j the National golf links of America 160 IN GOLF TOURNEY. Garden city, n v . Aug 30 — The national amateur golf tourney which opens here Monday will have 160 entrant*. Abe Mitchell, the famous English golfer may not compete, lie has been delayed in coming to this country to u^pdify 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 seaeoast. 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 reproduet ion" of famous British holes. Tnl3 has accordingly been done, and the resemblance to the originals is startling. Details have been carried out with astonishing exactne*s, and the only criticism to be made is the difficulty of the course. No poor golfer can be expected to play successfully eighteen such holes in one round. BOXING News of the Ring Game “Commish” Picks on C.

Usually the first matter to he 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, but i^n’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 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, ivork 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. • * * TVTAYF.E the National Commission is working on the theory that Murphy is not only a farmer, but also a rube. If so. there are several ba. ; *eball moguls who are slated for a rude awakening some of these days. • * • IT will be many moon* before the 1 world will see another Weston.
