His curiosity arouked, the passerby waited for further developments. In ft few moments a very fat and dignl- fled-Iooking old gentleman and on equally dignified-looking old lady, at tired In golf costume, sauntered up to the gfeen and made a long, vain search for the balls. Finally the fat man casually in spected the .hole, then frantically beckoned the fat lady to approach. She did so hurriedly, and the pair, side by side, peered into the cup “'Great Scott! We both holed out in ONE!' shouted the fat man “‘Great heavens! So we DID!' screeched the fat lady, and. plucking the two ball# from the cup. they start-, ed on th- 1 run to tell their friends tne remarkable tale.

When thero was two out in the eighth It looked like a shutout for Hogg when the unexpected in baseball happened. Peddy, who could not hit a house, dropped a fly in right field that Miller could not get to, or misjudged. Kyle singled to center and the big pitcher raced around to third. McKiHen Hits a Homer. Little McKillen, who was another Ty Cobb all through the* \ame, drove the ball over right field fence for a home run and rcored the two men ahead of him. Things began to take on a funeral-like appearance in the grandstand, but McDowell hit to short and by a great throw Stock got his man at first, although the decision looked close. The real hair-raiser came In the ninth inning for New' Orleans, and men, women and children all stood aghast; In fact, you could hear -the breathing of the person behind your back when the visiting team filled the bases, due to the weakness of Mr. Hogg. The San Francisco earthquake had nothing on the excitement that prevailed. Call after call was made for Campbell by the stands* It required no^dlework and great noodlework. Kraft, the first man up, got a scorching single through center. Hen dryx sacrificed him to second. Flan- nagan filed to Robertson, making the second out. Erwin was walked, and then Jack Adams, the Pelican catcher, was purposely sent to first on balls. It was Peddy’s time up, and not be ing willing to take a chance Frank called for Finis Wilson to bat for him. Crowd Yells for Campbell. Again the crowd yelled for Hogg to be relieved, and to the relief of the fans Campbell came forth and warm ed up for a minute. In the meantime Frank had changed Wilson for George Yantz, a right-hand batter. Only one bal Iwas thrown to Yantz and he hit to 0*DelI, who threw to first a.nd got his man by a hair. It was then that the crowds sat down in their seats for a few seconds and took needed breaths.

The crowd took part in a cush ion fight after the game. The Crack ers were cheered wildly as they ran to the clubhouse. NO HITS, NO RUNS was to bring forth numerous stories of feats of process performed by golfers all over the world and of strange anti unusual occurrences which havv- taken place. No sooner bad Allis’ ball fallen into the cup after this wonderful shot than people began to ask if It was not u world’s record. The feat of driving 30ft yards is not so very often accomplished, and to do this and then place the ball 1rs a hole on the gre«*n seemed so unlikely that it was but natural it was at once presumed that such a thing had never happened before and in all probability would never happen again. But those who were of this mind did not know that Allis’ feat, wonder ful as It was. was only a good third. John Anderson on September 23, 1908. in a round over the Brae Burn course, holed a tee shot which was 328 yards long, which tops Allis’ performance by 21 yards. But even .\nderson’s drive, while it is the record for this country, must give way to the record of A. O. Ladd, of the Henley-on-Thames Golf Club, who, It is claimed, holed out In one shot on a hole 33ft yards long. Thus thirty yards long. Thus he went Mr. he went Mr. Anderson 2 yards better by this shot. G arden city, n. y„ Sept c.— For the fourth time Jerome D. Travers is the amateur golf champion of the United States. He defeated John G. Anderson, of Bos- ton, 5 up and 4 to play, in the 86- hole final round at Garden City to day, and was once more acclaimed '’THERE is a story of % Scotch player 1 who claims to have sent the ball 7ft miles in one swipe because he drove into the car of a freight train, which wa? passing and the destina tion of which was 70 miles away. There is the claim of the Madison (Wls.) player, who claims to have driven a bal! 414.000 yards Decause he placed his tee shot in a freight car. which was on its way to Minneapolis. Minn. But these claims are extremely in significant when compared with the claim of Fred Tyler, of Charleston. S. C., who claims to have driven 93,- T ACK Hobens. the professional of J the Englewood Golf Club, had the good fortune to hole out from the t a e in the professional open, when It was last played In Philadelphia. But even Jack Hobens is not the only one who has pulled this stunt. In the ama teur nnd professional event which took place on the day before the open tournament held here in Atlanta over the East Lake course in 191ft, Bobby McWatt, playing as a partner with Clarence Angler, scored a one for this team at the third hole, which !» 17f> yards in length. But even If this event could bf considered more as a. practice round than as a part of the tournament, still Hobens and Allis would not be alone In their glory, for tn the fourth round of the tournament above men tioned Stewart Malden duplicated MeWatt’s feat on the same hole. Prior to MeWatt’s one this hole had been made In one only once before ar.d that was on Monday of that snme week, when W. W. Cunningham was the lucky man. Thus this hole has beer, made in one three times and all during the same week. TN WRITING of this shot Jerome * Travers In his Golf Book, under the chapter entitled “Holes in One,’’ says; “One explanation of this phenomenal shot is that the ball driven down hill and rolled ft great distance after It struck the turf. It is extremely probable that Mr. Ladd could try to duplicate the shot on that particular hole for the remainder of his lifetime without success." Of all the extraordinary “hole-in- one stories’’ there is one which comes from Rochford Hundred Golf Club, near Southend-on-sea, which tells of •ji golf dream that came true. Pos sibly you have had dreams which were not fulfilled or possibly you do not believe in them. But he that as it may. here Is the story, which has found Its way across the Atlantic: "One of the members, Mr. K. Simp son. entering the clubhouse, said that he had dreamed the previous evening that he drove a ball over a sheet of water bounded by s high hedge nnd a wire fence onto the green and Ip to the hole in one shot." **Of course, that 1s the pond hole, the short fifth,” laughed the mem bers. “What Is the betting against your dream coming true?” asked one. “I will give you a hundred to one in sovereigns And I will give a thou sand pounds to ten pounds,” said a sporting city mngnute. But Mr. Simpson could see nothing In these tempting odds save the sure loss of his money. To hole out in one comes to few' golfers in a life time, but to nominate the particular hole also^belongs to the realm of the miraculous. So Mr. Simpson made no bets. How keen is his chagrin on this score '/.yjM'M Directors Tender Crackers $75 Each And Big Dinner The directors of the Atlanta club showed their appreciation of the grand battle Bill Smith’s men made in the race just ending by presenting each of the senior club members—the “reg ulars"—with $75 and an earful of complimentary conversation at a din ner tendered the club last night at the Capital City Club. The junior members of the club—our young friends, the “rookies”—got $25 each and encouragement for the future. The boys professed themselves de lighted with the esteem in w r hich they were held, and greeted with cheers the announcement that Manager Smith’s contract, which holds over originally until the end of next year, had been extended by a unanimous vote of the directors to cover the fol lowing year also. So the Atlanta fans are sure of their favorite manager for the next two years, anyway. ALEX SMITH and D. C. Pickard a re ** the only two who have run thl little white ball from the tee into the ball did not go down, and a moment later Anderson missed his put for a3 and the hole went to Travers any way, 3 to 4. They halved the next one in 4, An derson just missing a chance for a 3, ahd though both were in trouble on the fourth, Travers saved himself wtih a fine approach and won in a par, 5 to 6, for Anderson. The rest of the way to the turn, five holes in all, they kept on even terms, getting a half in par on every hole, though on nearly every one Tra cers had a chance to w r in, while An derson had to fight hard to get the half. Travers Went Out in 39. Travers was out in 39 and Ander son In 42, and the champion was 3 up. The strain began to tell on Anderson as they faced the last nine, for he missed a two-foot putt on the tenth and repeated the trick on the elev enth, tossing both holes. They halved the twelfth in three and Anderson prolonged the match by getting down a six-foot putt for a half on the thirteenth. This left Travers dormie five up and the crowd packed itself around the fourteenth green to see the final putt. Travers missed a three from 4ft feet away by a half an inch. An derson tried his 20-foot putt, the ball stopping four feet short of the cup. and the Bostonian turned to Travers with extended hand and cheery smile, while the crowd clapped and cheered the winner.

Back In 1907 Travers won his first championship on the course of the Euclid Club, Cleveland. The follow ing yqar he successfully defended his title In Garden City. Just a year ago he won for the third time at the Chi cago Golf Club and to-day back at Garden City he was again success ful. Walter J. Travis won the cham pionship three times. Travers is the first to gain four victories. It was a splendid match to-day Anderson putting up a steady fight throughout the long morning round, and for a time leading his great op ponent by two holes. A brilliant flash of'the form for which Travel's is famous won back the two holes on the inward journey and at the seven teenth the champion \Vent into the lead only to drop back to even terms when he explored the depths of a deep trap beside the home green. It was all square when the first round was over. Just one bad hole, the first, fell to the champion’s lot In the afternoon. From that on his golf was perfect, gaining every hole in par until the end came on the fourteenth green. Travers' Putting Immense. On almost every green Travers was “knocking at the door," and though not one of the long ones went down, they were all so close that the putt which remained was a foregone con clusion Anderson could not hold the pace. The match began in the morning under gray skies and with a compar atively small crowd to see the early play. Travers was out in 43, while An derson’s total was 41. Three per fectly played holes marked the be ginning of the Inward journey, and a’l were halved in par figures. Then on the thirteenth Anderson approached to within a yard of the cup and won the hole with a 4, a stroke under par. This made him 2 up. A neat put, which caromed off An derson’s ball, won the fourteenth for Travers. 4 to 5, after his opponent had approached weakly. The 425- yard fifteenth is a hard 4. but it was halved in that figure, Anderson get ting down a difficult put. but Tra vers did even better on the sixteenth and was hole high with two splendid iron shots, winning the hole. 4 to 5, and squaring the match. Trapped in Eighteenth Hole. It was exactly the same story on the seventeenth, two shols to the green and a win for Travers in 4 to 5. The lend disappeared, however, when the champion was trapped on the eighteenth and Anderson made a par 3.
