[;md Willie Ogg, the new pro at Kast
ilmkr have arranged matches on each
other's courses and the golfing fans
lnre inteénsely interested in the per
formance,
Ogg drew first bloed, when Kdgar
went out to play him over his own
course, The British professional never
had had seen the Fast Lake course
before, but he put up a fine battle
and wias beaten by a margin of one
‘hole. A count of the medal score
showed that he negotiated the eight
cen holes a stroke better than Ogg
lzn 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.
- 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 powerful Scotchmen,
both men playing unusually big
shots from the tee.

Pitcher Mooty, of the Fulton High
team, delivered, aw! gduring ihe process
of loging the game I)'4 fanned twelve
men, some of them in pinches, Many
times during the game a player got on
by error and then Mooty tossed the
bhall over and made the Cadel swing
wildly
O'Quinn, of the Caflets, pitched a fine
game, but the Fulton run was earned
It was mude in the first mmning and
after that the henchmen of Addigson
Foster were unable to cross the plat

up five hits. Only ten hits were made
during the game, the teams splitting

. The feature of the game, of the sea
son and of Frank Armistead's career
happened Tuesday. Hyman, the first
man up, fanned, and then Armistead
#singled, stole gecond and went to third
on the third baseman's error. It was
Armistead’'s second hit in five years.
- One of the features of the game was
the ecateching of Hyman, of G. M. A,

Mayor Issues Proclamation
| @l et L L ot ok beod
Fans Urged to Pack Poncey
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 fact will give every red-blooded, sport
loving man and woman a real thrill of satisfaetion.
The love of sport for itself is typically American. But that
sport must be elean, wholesome and stirring. Such is baseball.
The game naturally appeals to the Ameriean spirit because W it we
perceive and enjoy the qualities of contest, of endurance, of quiek
ness of both body and mind, and of mastery and triumph which
enter so largely in the national eharacter.
This is the one game where the spefitator 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 i its vietories and are saddened by its defeats.
The players and those behind them are entitled to every rea
sonabie 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 vietory.

One of these days I am going to

that one Perry o
Adair is shooting
incomparably the ' {
best golf of his OB 5
life, which is quite LR
some golf.
I played a round with Perry at
Druid Hills Tuesday. I did not deo
mnach 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 was ever privileged to
play a round in a match where any
body broke a 70,
. - -
T hadn’t seen much of Perry’s game
gsince he won the big invitation tour
nament In the spring of 1917. He
shot excellent golf then, but not in
the class of his game Tuesday. Al
ways a smooth, finished plaver, 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. Going out, he pl:\yedl

RAIN MAY STOP CUBS.
CHICAGO, April 23 -—<Although Cubs
officlals and baseball fans maintained
desperate hope that the weather would
clear in 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 10 o'clock,
but the weather was mf‘ very threat
ening. Cubs officials announced, how
ever, that the game would be played if
it were at all possible.

a slashing, brilliant 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 con-{
versational material, and Perry didn’'t
pay much attention to his gamsg,
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 T 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 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
uck wasn’t helping the boy to any
extent.
At the last tee Perry had five left
for a 9. Here he cut loose, in the
pineh. Hlie drive and brassie con
veyed him just 500 yards, absolutely
straight, to a point just in front of
the green. He ohlpp«“é up close and
‘was down in 4. His two shots on this
‘hole were 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.

Perry Adair is on his game. And
I'll slip you another prophecy here.
When the Tech golf quartet goes
Kast, with Perry,and Bob and Pres
cott and Schley, those BEastern col
legians are going to play in the role
of shock absorbers. They are golng
to get some classic drubbings at the

Hold Meet Friday

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 25. The victory of the!
Purple trackmen over Alabama has |
stimulated lnl!'{;‘fll in fleld events, and
while it would be too much to say that
Sewanee will win, it can confidently be |
predictad that the meet will be a thrill
er from beginning to end , Within the
past few years Sewanee and Tech have
met threé times on the einder track,
and Tech has carried off the meet wh‘
time.
Coach Nicholson feels that this year
his team has a chance to win, pro#ded
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 Ilen?l_ two of Sewanee's
best men, are laid up at present with
injuries. Henry may get in shape for
the meet, but It 18 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 it is known that
in the meet with Alabama he made 11
