| Match
! J." Douglas Edgar, the new profes
slonal at the Druid Hills Golf Club,
and Willie Ogg, the new pro at Bast
Lake, have arranged matches on each
other's courses and the golfing fans
are inténsely interested in the per.
formance
Ogg drew first blood, when Edgar
went out to play him over his own
conrse The RBritish professional never
had had seen the East Lake course
before, but he put up a fine battle
and was beaten by a margin of one
hole. A count of the medal score
showed that he negotiated the eight
een holes a stroke better than Ogg
at that,
The return mateh, to be played at
Druid Hills some time this week, will
Include a couple of crack amateurs,
Bob Jones and Perry Adair. Jones
will be partnered with Ogg and Perry
with Edgar, and a royal battle is sure
to ensue,
In the East Lake match the fans
who had been impressed with Ogg's
tremendous tee shots, were somewhat
surprised to find the stocky Briton
frequently out in front. At the long
hitting, Edgar got at least an even
break with the powarful Scotchman,
both men playing unusually big
shots from the tee.
Monster Crowd Sees
Polo Grounds Opener
NEW YORK, April 28 —Father
Knickerbocker lifted the lid off baseball
here today and New York's great array
of fahs grepnred to celebrate the open-
Ing of the season at the Polo Grounds
where the Yankees and Red Sox were
scheduled to start the American League
campaign.
Beautiful weather greeted the fans,
and prospects for a monster crowd were
never beiter. Interest in the series
starting here today were enlivened by
the fact that the Yankees were pitted
against the world champion-—the Red Sox
~-who are being touted as a club with
Just as good a chance as any of win
ning the 1919 American League pen
nant.
Manager Miller Huggins expressed hln‘
hopes as follows:
“I believe the Yankees will be up
there flrhtln‘f all season. Our club s
well balanced and the players are, for
the most i(mn. in great condition.”
The Yankees started the season with
out Bodie and Halag in the line-up,
Bodie has the mumps and Halas has a
charley horse.
Manager Barrow, of the Red Sox,
was just as optimistic as Huggine re.
garding the prospects ahead.
“We have a club that I believe is
wonderfylly balanced in all depart
ments. | think our pltohlnf, fleld
ing and hnttlnfi will all show improve
ment. Naturally enough we are goihg
after another American League pen-‘

Brisbane Park on the fast diamond of
the losers. The game started at 4 and
went into unconsciousness about 6
Piteher Mooty, of ihe ¥Fulton High
team, delivered, and %urin' the process
of loging the game he fanned twelve
men, some of them in pinches. Many
times during the game a player got on
by error and then Mooty tossed the
ball over and made (e Cadet swing
wildly
O'Quinn, of the Cadets, pitched a fine
game, but the Fulton run was earned
It was made in the first inning and

Armjstead's second hit in five years,
One of the features of the *umc- was
the catching of Hyman, of G. M. A.

Mayor Issues Proclamation
’ ok XL e et XL ek
Mayor James 1. Key Wednesday issued the following proe
lamation for business closing and full support to the Crackers on
their opening game with Chattanooga Thursday at 4 p. m.:
The stern realities of war have relaxed and baseball is with
us again. This gorgeous faet will give every red-blooded, sport
loving man and woman a real ithrill of satisfaetion.
The love of sport for itself is typically American. But that
sport must be clean, wholesome and stirring. Such is baseball.
The game naturally appeals to the American spirit because in it we
perceive and enjoy the qualities of contest, of endurance, of quick
ness of both body and mind, and of mastery and triumph which
enter so largely in the national character.
This is the one game where the spectator himself enters the
game and shares and enjoys all of the emotions of the player.
The welfare of the home team naturally stirs our civie pride.
Whatever may be said the home team represents, for the time, the
city. We rejoice in its victories and are saddened by its defeats.
The players and those behind them are entitled to every rea
sonable encouragement and support, therefore, I urge every lover
of baseball to lay all other business aside and join the happy throng
in giving the home team a joyous welcome and a hearty Godspeed
to victory.
o JAS. L. KEY, Mayor.

I played a round with Perry at
Druid Hills Tuesday. I did not do

I hadn’t seen much of Perry's game
since he won the big invitation tour

shot excellent golf then, but not in
the class of his game Tuesday. Al
ways a smooth, finished player, he
has got something else now. He has
‘a terrible punch, with both wood and
iron. And I desire to go on record
right now with the prediction that
from this out he is going to be hard
to stop—for anybody.
In the round Tuesday Perry's game
was flawless. Going out, he played

CHICAGO, April 23.-—Although Cubs
officials and baseball fans maintained
desperate hope that the weather would
clear tn time to permit the opening of
the baseball season heer this afternoon,
weather conditions at 10 o'clock were
decidedly unfavorable. A downpour of
rain which began in the early morn
ing had ceased temporarily at l& o'clock,
but the weather was s(lfi very threat
ening. Cubs officials announced, how
ever, that the game would be played if
it were at all possible.

a slashing, brilllant game, without
much apparent concentration. We
had a funny little adventure on the
first tee, where one Enrico Caruso,
urged on by his new wife and Jimmy
Williams, was making frantic efforts
to demolish the little white pellet.
That furnished us a good deal of econ
versatfonal material, and Perry didn't
pay much attention to his game,
though it was strong and practically
faultless for the nine holes. He got
a 37 without any exertion. Coming
in, Perry went after it.
. 9
As 1 recall it, he got four threes,
three fours, one five and a two. The
‘flve was on No, 16, after he was on
;the green in two. The green was
very rough and his approach putt
was stalled. Then the next one hit
the eup and stayed out. It might just
as well have dropped, but you know
how such things are. One other putt,
equally sound, stayed out in that re
markable 31. So you can see that
luck wasn't helping the boy to any
extent. -
At the last tee Perry had five left
r a 69. Here he cut loose, in the
pinch. MHix drive and brassie con
veyed him just 500 yards, absolutely
straight, to a point just in front of
the green. He chipped up close and
was down in 4. His two shots on thli‘
hole were the longest and most ac
curate I ever saw onh that trickv and
sloping fairway. They were perfectly
hit, with a power that was simply
amazing.

Hold Meet Friday
(Srolal to The Georgian.) |
SEWANEE, TENN, April 23.-—As the
dual track meet with QGeorgia Tech
draws near, interest grows apace. The
meet will be held on the Mountain next
Friday, April 26. The victory of the
Purple trackmen over Alabama has
stimulated interest in fleld events, and
while it would be too much to say that
Sewanee will win, It can confidently be
predicted that the meet will be a thrill.
er from beginning to end . Within the
past few years Sewanee and Tech have
met three times on the cinder track,
and Tech has carried off the meet each
time
Coach Nicholson feels that this year
his team has a chance to win, provided
the weather does not interfere with
practice, and also provided the exami
nations, which have just talken place,
do not disqualify hie best men
Scott and Hen?'. two of Sewanee's
best men, are laid up at present with
injuries Henry may get in shape for
the meet, but it I 8 not possible for
Scott to take part. Henry is one of
the Purple’'s best vaulters, and if his
stone bruise mends he will be in the
meet Scott’'s loss to the Purple will
be understood when #t is known that
in the meot with Alabama he made 11
lmim.\ His specialtées are the 100 and
220-yard dashes and the broad Jump.

'DRIVE OUT
Large Lee Gooch busted into the
home run class Tuesday and helped
to amass a juicy lead for “Red”
Wingo, who was offering his cholcest
slants to the Base Hospital team at
the camp. "Lefty” Aiken helped “Red”
out in the last two innings, while
Smith got a lot of assistance from
two hurlers, Goodwin and Sanford.
These latter three were the hospital's
