P&
Contest for Perry Adair Golf
Trophy Brings Out Field
of Eighty Players.
' ' '
E.T.Winston With Card of Eighty
four Leads in Preliminary
Medal Play.
HE qualifying round in the tour-
I nament for the Perry Adair
trophy—the second tourney of
the year of the Atlanta Athletic Club
—was played Saturday afternoon at
Bast Lake by a crowd of golfers that
packed the big course from end to
end from the noon hour until sunset.
In all, five flights were filled; a to
tal of eighty golfers, which is numer
ically calculated to make the Perry
"Adair cup event one to be remem
bered. The trophy has to be won
three times to become permanent
property.
It was a grand afternoon for golf,
but the scoring was uniformly high.
This was due to a couple of causes;
Yhe changes on the second nine holes,
aking that side several strokes
harder than formerly; and the damp
ness of the turf, both in fairways and
putting greens. It was not so detri
mental on the putting greens, for the
viayers putted boldly after being
thort a few times. But in the falr
ways the moisture took most of the
roll out of the ball, and the distance,
if made at all, had to be made
hrough the air.
E. T. Winston, with a card of 84,
was the low scorer of the day. More
than half the scoring was above the
hundred mark. Following are the
pairings for the first round of match
play, with the gross medal score of

| HREE fllght; were filled in the
tournament which began at
Brookhaven Saturday after
noon with the qualifying round, which
settled the position of the 48 players
who will contest for the John Ald
redge Trophy in match play to ex
tend through the next two weeks.
The scoring was not particularly
good, despite the fact that the day
‘was ideal. The course, while in ex
cellent condition, was slow from the
'continued drenchings it has received
recently, and there was no chance 1o
‘get a long ball, except to make it car
ry all the way. Some of the best scor
‘ers in the club—Charlie Sciple and
| Milton Dargan among them—were out
of town, and this also kept the aver
age of play down.
The first round in match play will
be played by Wednesday and the sec
ond round by next Saturday. Than
the semi-finals will be finished by he
;following Wednesday, and the finals
in all flights by a week from Satur
day. All matches will be played with
handicaps applied. The final match
in the first flight will be at 36 holes,
with all other matches at 18 holes.

Freddie Welsh Agrees
; v 2 ¥ .
To Give Ritchie First
:. . 1
Chance at His Title
Speclal Cable to The American.
LONDON, July 18.—Harry Pollok,
manager of Freddie Welsh, light
weight champion of the world, gave
an exclusive statement to the Inter
national News Seryice to-night, which
undoubtedly means that Willie Ritchie
will have the first chance of winning
the title back from the Welshman.
Welsh's demands are so reasonable
that they leave Ritchie little oppor
tunity to object. He stipulates first,
that Ritchie must give Welsh the
same terms as Welsgh conceded Ritchle
in the recent Olympic contest, name
ly, a $15,000 guarantee, with the priv
ilege of getting 50 per cent of the
gate receipts and $lO,OOO cash for re
linquishing all interest in the movies.
In the second place, Ritchie must
make a $25,000 side bet. He states he
is' willing to make the bet. Ritchie
must box at the same weight at whizh
he won the championship from Wol
gast, namely, 133 pounds, ringside.
Welsh will meet Ritchie in Califor
nia, accept a California referee and
agree that Ritchie shall have a match
within six months from the time he
fulfills the stipulations as to purse
and side bet.
Robertson as Trainer
NEW YORK, July 18.—It has been
learned from a reliable source that the
man to succeed Lawson Robertson ag
tralner to the Irish-American A. C. wiil
be Geor%e Bonhag, the old dlstance run
ner of the club.
Bonhag has been identified with ath
letics for the past twelve years and has
won indoor and outdoor championships
at various distances. Bonhag also won
an Olympic walking championship at the
Athens games. At the present time he
is the holder of quite a number of
American records.
The other position as trainer held by
Lawson Robertson at the Thirteenth
Regiment will probably be offered to
Jim Rosenberger, who has trained under
Lawson for several years.
Ernie Hjertherg Has
Resigned as Coach
His Inability to have his assistants
carry out his orders forced Ernie
Hjertberg, of New York, to tender his
resignation as tralner of the Swedish
Olympic team. Efforts are now being
made to have Hijertberg recongider his
action as the Olympic ‘committee is de
sirous of retaining him as coach and
trainer until the Berlin-Olymplcs in 1916
To Re-enter Ring
CHICAGO, July 18.—Packev McFar
land, boxer and business man, to-day
announced that he would re-enter the
ring and challenge Freddie Welsh, the
new title holder, for the championship
Packey holds one decision over Welsh
and thinks he can still beat the Welsh
man, if the chamgflon will let him make
136 pounds three hours before the fight.

Resolute Defeats
\ 'L .
~ Vanitie by 1 Second
In Wonderful Race
1 T
NEWPORT, R. I, July 18.—After
a weary week of enforced idleness
caused by fog and the vagaries of
the weather the cup candidates final
ly pulled off the first race they have
sailed since last Monday to-day, and,
as if to reward tne yachtsmen for
their long wait, Resolute and Vanitie
sailed a neck-and-neck race, finish
ing only a second apart over a 28-
mile course.
As usual, Resolute won again, but
for the third time since they began
racing Vanitie made the fastest time
over the course, only to lose the race
on time allowance. Vanitie actually
heat Resolute by 46 seconds, but,
‘hanks to an allowance of 1 minute
3¢ seconds, the Herreshoff boat won
by 53 seconds, corrected time, and
also defeated Defiance by 1 minute 56
seconds |
In other words, less than two min
utes separated the three yachts at the
finish, which, by the waw is also the
first time the three yachts have fin
‘ished on such even terms since they
began racing.
The race was sailed twice around a
fourteen-mile windward and leeward
course from Beckons Reef Lightship
to Point Judith whistling buoy and
return, and inciuded fourteen miles
of windward work and fourteen miles
of running.
Except for a little fresh puff right
after the start, the wind at no time
exceeded about eleven miles an hour,
In the long rolling sea Resolute show
ed at the best in windward work, but
on the second round, when she had
the race well in hand, she ran into a
soft spot under Narragansett Pler,
which enabled her rivals to pick up
what they had lost.
As a result, Vanitie was almost on
even terms with Resolute when the.
pair started on the seven-mile run|
down the wind for the home mark.
Inch by inch, Vanitie picked up on
the Resolute in the run to the finish,
but the Herreshoff boat managed to
cross the finish line just one second
zhead, and won out on time aliow
ance.
GAINESVILLE WINS. 8 TO 3.
GAINESVILLE, GA.. July 18.—
Gainesville beat the Terre Haute
team of Atlanta here this afternoon,
8 to 3, in the deciding xame of the
series. The features were home runs
by Anderson, for Gainesville, and He
well, for the visiting team, and the
playing of Bridgers.
WHEN considering Harry Welchonce, captain and center flelder ofi
the Crackers, the fans are likely to regard his slugging powers to‘
the exclusion of his other means of usefulness to his team, |
Harry is a slugger, to be sure. After an illness that weakened him se
riously the early part of the season, Harry has come back and is drlv!ng;
the ball with that fine, easy swing of his, to the vast exercise of sprinting
powers by opposing flelders. But that is not all Harry can do. ‘

A theater that {8 much cooler than

in the shade, ie what is promised by
the management of the Strand, the
beautiful Peachtree street motion pic

during the month of August.
A forced air draft system is being
installed, and with the large xhaust
fans a perfect air draft will be carried
through the house that will make it
wonderfully cool and comfortable in
summer, while the same machinery
will make it delightfully warm in win
ter. This system is one of the most
expensive and the best manufactured,
and will make the Strand a popular
amusement place when it opens.

And Billiesyßefore
Returning July 29
The Crackers open another tough
week on the road with a game to
day with Mobile, and possibly two,
according to how Manager Lord feels
about it and how the weather be
haves. If not a double-header to
day, they will catch it to-morrow—
always barring interruptions by J.
Pluvius.
After escaping from Mobile, the
boys go over to New Orleans, where
Mr. J. Dobbs will entertain them on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday., Thence they proceed to
'Montgomery, playing that town Sat
urday, Sunday, Monday and Tues
day.
In the middle of next week the boys
come home for a transferred series
with Birmingham, designed to break
up the longest road trip of the sea
son. They reach here Wednesday,
July 29, and play four games, de
parting northward after the last
game, August 1. ‘
The Crackers then will nlay Nash
ville, Chattanooga and Memphis in
the order named, returning to their
home lot Auvgust 12, to begin anoth
er home stay with Nashville as the
first guest. j
By that time the league race will,
or should, have taken on a some
what definite aspect. It should be‘
' possible to outline the needs of the
campaign for the rest of the seaason
to figure out what club, or clubs, thie
Crackers will have to beat out in the
‘race if they are to reach the top,
supposing they are not already there,
'which is not a hard thing to suppone.{

Two Battles Monday, #
Captain Harry Welchonce Confi«
dent That Smithmen Will Get
Even Break With Gulls, -
o——— g
By Harry Welchonee,
Captain of the Crackers.
OBILE, ALA. July 18—The
M Crackers were unable to play
the second game of the se
ries here to-day with the Gulls on ac
count of rain, which began early in
the morning and continued through
the afternoon,
While we were anxious to play, the
day’s rest did not come amiss, and
was welcomed by most of the boys,
considering the fact that we have
had some tiresome games the past
ten days, and a little rest will put us
on edge for the rest of the serles here.
We are confident of at least an
even break, as I think they used their
one best bet in Hogg on Friday, and
also believe we will beat him if he is
sent back at us Monday.
Klrby in a Slump.
The slugging Kirby seems to be in
a hitting slump just now, and Lord
{s the only real dangerous hitter they
have. While so far this season it has
been a difficult thing for the Crackers
to score runs on the Mobile grounds,
I think this {s due to chongae and
with the good pitching which I think
we will get in the rest of the series
we should win.
~ Thompson, Browning, Perryman
'and Dent probably will be used in the
!nrder named during the rest of this
trip, with Willlams and Colller doing
relief work or stepping in when some
one falters and take his turn. I look
for good results from this combina
tion, and believe it will prove more
effective than working six men in
turn.
Thompson, Browning, Perryman
and Dent should prove consistent
winners when worked every fourth
day, as most of them require this
much work to be effective.
All the rest of the boys are in good
condition and ready to do battle.
The pepper displayed by the bunch
has been loudly praised by both press
and fans in Birmingham and Mo
kile, and we shall continue to be hail
ed as the “peppery” Crackers.
Two Games on Monday,
Owing to the postponement of to
day, two games will be played Mon
day, weather permitting. Carl
Thompson will likely be pittedl
against Robertson, with Dunn and
Schmidt doing the catching.
I belleve we will pull through with
a win, regalning some of the ground
lost in Friday’s game.
Here's Another One
- On “Rube” Waddell
\ Every story told on the late George
“Rube’” Waddell isn’t true. When star
)rinx in “Tha Stain of Gullt,” Waddell's
press agent dug up the files of long
ago and made him the hero of many
escapades, much to the player's delight.
~ There's one the press agent dlgn‘t
| evolve, however. It's been toid on Wad
'dell by gentlemen of veracity. Back in
the days when the corsairs roamed on
Smoky Island, Waddell had a habit of
Inlnnff around the club office, sticking
up officlals for passes.
One afternoon while the rush through
the gates was on, Waddell chanced to
be in the office. The phone bell sound
ed. Next to a fire alarm there is noth
ing “Rube’” admired more than a phone
call. He raced to the recelver, yanked
it from its perch with a loud “Hello!
What's the matter?”’
Waddell listened to a mortal at the
other end of the line and then glanced
into a corner of the room. “Wait a
minute,” velled Waddell into the trans
mitter. With a bound he darted to that
corner, grabbed up an old umbrella and
rushing over to the phone, held it in
front of the mouthpiece and roared: “ls
this yours?"’

Gavy" Earns Title o
Memorial Day Hitte
“The Memorial Day hitter!"” That is
what the fans around the National
League circuit will be calllng Gavy
Cravath, the fence-buster of the Phil
lles soon, If he keeps up the gait he
has set the past few years. If every
day was Memorial Day, Cravath would
be one of the greatest hitters the world
ever produced. Last Memorial Day the
oumefder was credited with driving out
five hits, three of the raps belnf good
for two bases, one for the full distance
and the other a single.
In the -ast flve years since Cravath
left the Minneapolis club of the Ameri
can Assoclation, he has hit like a de
mon on Memorial Day with the excep
tion of 1912, He was used as a pinch
hitter then and failed to deliver. In
1910 Cravath had four singles and two
round trip ticket clouts to his credit at
the end of the day. In 1811 he made
three singles, two doubles and a triple.
Last year he collected a gllr of one
base drives, a double and a home run.
