Thus far there is a fairly hopeful
entry list for the mashie course tour
nament at BEast Lake next Monday
and Tuesday, promoted by Mrs. R. P,
Jones; and prizes have been offered
by public spirited persons to the ex
tent of a non-skid bathing suit and
a 4 dozen golf balls. It is believed
firmly that during the rest of the cur
rent week both the entry list and
the assortment of prizes will grow
by the proverbial leaps and bounds,
like a half-topped mashie shot.
Mrs. Jones explains that so many
women and girls, members at East
Lake, are diffident about their golf
ing powers to a degree that pre
vents them from appearing on the big
course except at inconspicuous times,
and as for playing in a tournament—
wn_v. they'd never think of such a
L)_nng. But with the little course it's
different.
~ You see, the matches can be played
in an hour or so, with a mashie and
a putter. No caddy is needed, and
the mat\"hes can be played early in
the morning or late in the afternoon.
There are no water hazards and few
traps. The entire round requires
less than a 4 mile of trudging, unless
a player be fearfully wild from the
tee.
Mrs. Jones also believes the tourna
ment will bring together many women
and girls who are not now acquaint
ed, but who believe they would like
to go in for golf more earnestly. Re
garding the younger set, it is sol
emnly agreed by the press represen
tatives that no reference will be made
to “baby flights” or “infant four
somes.” Where that contingent needs
to be mentioned specifically, it will
be termed the sub-deb element, or
something equally innocuous.
The tournament, as stated, will be
played Monday and Tuesday of next
week. You can enter it by giving
eyour name to Mr. Thornton, manager
at the East TLake clubhouse. All
feminine members of the club are in
vited to take part.
This is a fine opening for enter
prising firms dealing in athletic goods
to contribute prizes. Mrs. R P
Jones or Mr. Thornton may be noti
fied concerning an intention by such
firms to get their feet wet.

Lieut. Hendricks Is New
. »
Athletic Officer at Fort
Lieutenant W. W. Hendricks has re
ported to Fort McPherson to take up the
duties of athletic officer. He is a well
known athlete, having made letters at
Teland Sanford University in baseball,
basketball, football and tennis.
Hendricks has already built a strong
baseball nine at the fort. He is also
planning a big athletic carnival at the
fort.
“We're going to have a team at Fort
McPherson this summer that the soldiers
are going to be proud of,” said Lieutenant
Hendricks yesterday “C'olonel Brat
ten, the ecommanding officer, is thor
oughly in favor of the idea, and will see
that the boys have ample time in which
to prepare for the contests, However, our
efforts are not going to be confined to
baseball, but every phase of athiletics will
be given a good tryout. We've the mate
rial here for good teams and clean sport,
and I'm going to do everything in my
power to bring it to the front. Our sports’
record hasn’'t been anything we're proud
of thus far, but I believe all that's going
to be changed when this new spirit reaches
the men on the post here. So you can
depend on ‘Fort Mc' for one thing-—good,
clean and manly sports.”

Crackers Tamed by Perdue
Hardin Herndon Fans Three Times
Ira Thomas Leaves Friday
NEW ORLEANS, July 9—The
Crackers couldn’t get over a wal
lop when a wallop meant runs, and
as a result they went down to de
feat in the final game of the series
with the Pelicans hére Tuesday,
4-1. -Bob Higgins, the pinch-hitting
kid, had two chances to break up
the old ball game. Herndon had a
dandy chance himself. Neither
could turn the trick, however,
Perhans Hub Perdue ought to be
blamed for the whole affair. The
Galiatin Squash started out like a
house afire, and went right on
through to the final stanza as if
victory was assured. He was par
ticularly hard on Herndon, for that
voung man furnighed Bill Brennan
and Catcher Deßerry of the Peli
cans with the only breeze that hap
pened around the orchard this warm
afternoon, Yis, sirree, Herndon
certainly was whiffing away. He
didn't get so much as a foul in his
first three trials at Hub's offerings,
and the fourth time all he could do
was to send a scorcher to Knaupp,
which Cotton gobbled up in easy
style. 4
PELS GET LEAD.
The game went on in ding-ding
fashion to the sixth, the Pelicans
having the break when Sullivan's
hit in the first inning fell within an

line and scored Gilbert, who had
«Qpened the inning with a neat bunt
that Tom Sheehan couldn’'t handle
fast enough to nail him at the first
station. -
The Crackers tied it up in good
fashion in the fifth. ' Dykes opened
with a double to left, Griffin was
safe on Stanbury’s bobble, Shechan
scored Dykes with a dandy single.
REED MISJUDGED FLY.
Hub passed Reed, crowding
the sacks, but neither Galloway nor
Herndon could hit.
With the score even Stephen, the
Pelicans came to the sixth and
hopped into Sheehan. Daniels, who
hasn’'t been doing much in the way
of hitting, drove over to right field
that Reed misjudged and Daniels
pulled up at the third sack. Knaupp
fanned, but Deßerry scored Daniels
with a sacrifice fly. Then Sullivan
almost duplicated Daniels’ blow, the
ball taking a hop over Reed’s head
and rolling clear to the fence. Sully
went all the way round before the
agate could be relaved to the
anxiously waiting Higgins.
A wild pitch gave the Pelicans
their fourth tally in the seventh in
ning after Stansbury and Fielder
had singled and been advanced by
Perdue, The Crackers threatened

HARD ON UMPIRES.
The Crackers tood a hand at pan

strenuous kick on the decision
which stopped the rally in the fifth,
Higgins appeared to be safe, but
was ruled out, Bob was raring to

Bill Brennan a bit for decisions on
balls and strikes, but the big fel

will catech Mobile out of condition and

pitching might not be up to standard
requirements, they'll give the Dutch.

- HORSEHIDE
By GUY BUTLER. '~ &
Rumor is going the rounds that
the New Orleans pitchers are usin
something besides their mere fingers
to cause the ball to take crazy twi *5
and that's why they are continually
hanging around the top of the leag ;
Mobile, Nashville and Memphis|
players have been raising a howl, als
leging that the Dobbs boxmeén use
parraffine and other taboo stuff,o
the ball. The other clubs have neot|
yet chimed in, but it is the generall
belief all around the circuit what!
Dobbs is getting a much better brand]
of pitching than his staff warrants,|
and it is possible thdt his twirfers]
may be doing something to “ths
horsehide. ad. &
“Red” Torkelson, who defeated the|
Crackers Monday, is said to be one of!
the offenders, and Roberts another,
A Mobile player is guoted as saging
that these two men rubbed parmafs
fine on the ball before deliveringr it
An angry Bear puts it this wayx
“These men oil up their shirts am d
trousers before going to the box+ané
then rub the ball on their chests~and
legs every time they get ready* to
throw it, A
“Hub Perdue carries some sort; of
powder in a little sack which is sups
posed to contain resin, and he doc=
tors the ball with this stuff when
he's on the mound. I'd take an oath
that these fellows are doing this,-and
l‘lhe umpires let ’em get by with it. n
i PETERS HITS HARD. 3 8
The way John Peters is slugging
the ball this season reminds us that
the Crackers had an opportunlw,fig
land him in the spring, before the
training season got under l?ay. or at
jleast, that was the ifformation
brought in. 4
' Peters wired the Cracker club alkn;
ing for a berth, being at that time &
| free agent. All he wanted was a fair
| salary and his railroad fare. , The At
.lanta club told him his price was &
bit too high and he ceased dick '
lwixh the Frankmen. & 4
Later he signed with the Barons,
and today he is the leading hitten of
the league. Not a bad catcher, eith
er, and he has had lots of experiefee.
For a short time last year he IWaS
with Cleveland, but failed to make
good. He went up from the Pelicans
