Edgar and Ogg
Meet in First
J. Douglas Edgar, the new profes
sional 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 sane
are inténsely interested in the per
formance
Ogg drew first blood, when Edgar
went out to play him over his own
course’ The British 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 match, to be played at
Druid Hills some time this week, will
include a couple of crack nmmr*urn.‘
Bob Jones and Perry Adair, .lones‘
will be partnered with Ogg and Perry

In the East Lake match the fans
who had been impresged with Ogg's
tremendous tee shots, were somewhat
surprised to find the stocky Briton
frequently out in front., At the long
hitting, Kdgar got at least an even
break with the powerful Scotchmen,
both men playing unusually big
shots from the tee.

NEW YORK, April 23 —~Father
Knickerbocker lifted the lid off baseball
here today and New York's great array
of fahs prepared to celebrate the open
ing of the season at the Polo Grounds
where the Yankees and Red Sox weare
scheduled to start the American League
campaign,
Beautiful weather greeted the fans,
and prospects for a monster crowd were
never better, Interest in the series
starting here toda§ were enlivened by
the fact that the Yankees were pitted
against the world champion—the Red Sox
~who ure being touted as a club with
Just as good a chance as any of win
ning the 1919 American League pen

Manager Miller Huggtns expressed his
hopes as follows:
“l 1 believe the Yankees will be up
there flghtlns all season. Our club is
well balanced and the players are, for
the most Enrt, in great condition.”
The Yankees started the season with
out Bodie and Halas 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 Hugging re.
garding the prospects ahead.
‘“We ha'ys a club that I believe is
wonderfully balanced in all depart
ments, I think our pltchlnf. fleld -

Another game was tossed away on
errors Tuesday when Fulton High drop
ped one to G. M. A. after nine innings
of hard and furious baseball. G, M. A,
won, 2to 1 The game was played at
Hrisbane Park on the fast diamond of
the losers, The game gtarted at 4 and
went Into unconsciousness llhi)’lt 6
Pitcher Mooty, of the Fulton High
team, delivered, and during the process
of losing 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 the 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
after that the henchmen of ,\ddlnon‘
Foster were unable to crose the plat
ter. O'Quinn fanned six men and gave
up five hits. Only ten hits were made
during the game, the teams splitting
even on the total |
The feature of the game, of the Bea
son and of Frank Armistead’s career
happened Tuesday. Hyman, the first
man up, fanned, and then Armistead
singled, stole second and went to third
on the third baseman's error., It was
Armistead’'s gecond hit in five years.
One of the features of the game was
the catching of Hyman, of G, M. A.
Hyman got a hit, ecored a run and his
pegs to second were accurate. His
work behind the bat has been the best
of the season so far. He caught for
Lanier last season and came to G. M. A.

Mayor Issues Proclamation
+o»x~y fed e o Lo EXs
Mayor James 1.. Key Wednesday issued the following proe
lamation for business closing and full support to the Crackers on
their opening gagne 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 thrili of satisfaction.
The love of sport for itself is typically American. But that
sport muss be clean, wholesome and stirring. Such is baseball
The game naturally appeals to the American spirit beeause 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. ’

i I played a round with Perry at

play a round in a match where any

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

shot excellent gels 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. Going out, he played

officials and baseball fans nuunminrd‘
desperate hope that the weather would

weather conditions at 10 o'clock were
decidedly unfavorable. A downpour of

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 game,
though 1t was strong and practically
faultless for the nine holes. He got
a 37 without any exertion. Coming
in, Perry went after it.
2 % 9
As I 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. Ome 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
veyed him just 500 yards, absolutely
straight, to a | »int -just in front of
the green. He chipped up close and
was down in 4. His two shots on this
hole were the longest and most ac
curate 1 ever saw on that trickv and
sloping fairway. They were perfectly
hit, with a power that was shnph!‘
amazing.

When the Tech golf quartet goes

Sewanee and Tech
.
Hold Meet Friday
(Sgocm 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 25. The wvictory of the
Purple trackmen over Alabama has
stimulated Interest in fleld events, and
while it would be toopx;lxch to say that
Sewanee will win, 1t 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,
z'\lnd Tech has carried off the meet each
me.
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 taken place,
do not dinguallfy his best men.
Scott an Hen:ly. 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
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
‘mln!s. His specialties are the 100 and
220-yard dashes and the broad jump.

Large Lee Gooch busted into the
home run class Tuesday and helped
to amass a juicy lead for "“Red”
Wingo, who was offering his choicest
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
