Meet in First
J. Douglas Edgar, the new Pro!m
gional at the Druid Hills Golf Club,
and Willie Ogg, the new pro at East
Lake, have arranged matches on each
other's courses and the golfing fans
are intensely 4nterested in the per
formance,
Ogg drew first blood, when Edgar
went out to play him over his ow
course, The British professional never
had had seen the East Lake course
before, but he put up a fine battle
and was beaten h‘y 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 match, 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, 1
In the East Lake match the fans
who had been impressed with Ogg's |
tremendous tee shots, were uomewhut‘
surprised to find the stocky Bri(gn‘
frequently oud in front. At the lo g
hitting, Edgar got at least an eeven‘
break with the powerful Scotchman,
both men playing unusually big |
shots from the tee. i

Mayor Issues Proclamation
e @ @ ok o o
Mayor James L. Key Wednesday issued the following proe-
Jamation forsbusiness 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 fact will give every red-blooded, sport
loving man and woman a real thrill of satisfaction.
The love of sport for itself is typically Americad. 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 confest, of endurance, of quick
ness of both body and mind, and of mastery and triumph which
enter 8o largely in the national character. 4
This 18 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 rejoiee 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 hofie team a joyous welecpme and a hearty Godspeed
to vietory.
JAS. L. KEY, Mayor.

I played a round with Perry at
Druid Hille Tuesday. 1 did not do
much of the playing, but Perry did
enough for two—or more. He shot
a 68, coming home in 31. It was the
first time |1 swas ever privilezed to

I hadn't seen much of Perry's game
gsince 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 1 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., (Goihg out, he playved

RAIN MAY STOP CUBS,
CHICAGO, April 23 -<Although Cubs
officials and baseball fans maintained
desperate hope that the weather would
clear in time to permit the opening of
the bafebnll season heer this afternoon,
weather conditions at 10 o'clock were
decidedly unfavorable, A downpour of
.{nin which began in the early morn

a slashing, brilliant game, withom‘
much apparent concemtration. * We,
had a funny little adventure on the
first tee, where one Enrico Caruso,
urged on by his new wife and Jimmy
Williams, was maifing’fram!c efforts
to demolish the ttle white pellet,
That furnished us a good deal of con
versational material, and Perry dkxa't
pay much attention to his game,
gough it was-strong and practically
ultless for the nine holes. He got
a 37 without any exertion. Coming
in, Perry went after it. A
* % -
As 1 recall it, he got four threes,
three fours, one five and a two. The
five 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 cup 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
for a 69, Here he cut loose, in the
pinch. His drive and brassie con
veved 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 shets ey this
hole wéte the longest and most ac
curate i ever saw on that trickv and
sloping fairway. They were perfectly
hit, with a power that was simply
amazing.
. s
Perry Adair is on his game. And
'l slip vou another prophecy here.
‘When the Tech golf quartet goes
Kast, with Perry and Bob and Pres
cott and Schley, those Eastern col
legians are going to play in the role
lof shock absorbers, They are going
to get some classic drubbings at the
hands of- the Southerners, Watch
‘what T tel you. There will be a trick
in any match they lose.

(Special to The Georgian.)
SEWANEE, TENN., April 23.—As the
dual track meet with Georgia Tech
draws near, interest grows apace., The
meet will be held on the Mountain next
Friday, April 256 The victory of the
Purple trackmen over Alabama has

Sewanee will win, it can confidently be
predictad that the meet will bé a thrill
er from beginning to end . Within the
past few years Sewaneé and Tech have
met three times on the cinder track,
and Tech has carried off the meét each
time
Coach Nicheolson feelgs that this year
hiz team has a chance to win, provided
the weather does not interfere with
practice, and also provided the exami
nations, which have just taken place,
do not disqualify his best men
Scott and Henry, two of Sewanee's
best men, are laid up at present with
injuries. Henry may get in shape for
the meet, but-it is not possible for
Scebt #, take part Henry is one of
the Pfirple's best vaulters, and if his
stone bruise mends he will he in the
meet, Scott's loss to the Purple will
be. understood when it is known that
#n the meet with Alabama he made 11
points. His specialtdes are the 100 and

to Gooch;. Wammy, Secrappy and
Stokie each poled a double,

NEW YORK, April 29 —Tex Rick
ard sa{d today that he believed the

Dempsey fight.
“If the people of New York are en
titled to & boxing law next January,”
said Rickard, “they are entitled to
ione today. 1 believe the ar‘tiofig»on the
{boxing bills was aimed at the Will

loss to boxing enthusiasts in -the
State.” .
Rickard is still undecided regarding
a site for the bout, he said.
