Byrd Defeats Tilson and
Captures Trawick Trophy
F. G. Byrd Is the winner of the Trawick
cup of 1936, and haa again proved his claim
to the title of champion golfer of Atlanta.
Mr. Byrd won his final match Thursday,
defeating W. J. Tilson by a score of 8 up
and 6 to play.
The affair was all but n slaughter. Mr.
Byrd was playing the phenomenal golf
which haa characterised tils game through
the entire match, and hnd easy sailing nil
the dny. Ilia long game was remarkable
and hla abort game steady and effective.
In hls match against Mr. Tilson he was
In the lead from the very start. He took
the first snd second holes and only n phe
nomenal put hy Mr. Tilson kept him from
winning the first five straight, as he did
from Mr. Hill on the previous day. Ills
work when hls ImiII got In trouble was es
pecially noteworthy, nnd hls recovery on
the ninth hole, out of the mud, was the
best that has been seen during the tourna
ment.
Mr. Byrd’s score for the first nine holes
wss 43, which Is phenomenal, considering
the bog-llke condition on the greens and
the cyclonic efforts of the wind, which was
tearing across the course at a 60-mlle dip.
The match ended nt the twelfth hole,
when Mr. Byrd was eight up.
W. P. Hill, who was defeated by Mr.
Byrd Thursday by a score of 4 up nnd 3 to
play, perpetrated the prlie bon mot of
the tournament after the Byrd-Tllson
match, when ha said: “Byrd humiliated
roe, but he disgraced Tilson.’’
! The score on Trawick cups nt present
stands: Ilyrd 2, Kill 2. Mr. Byrd won In
1904 nnd 1906 nnd Mr. IIIII In 1903 nnd 1906.
By n strange coincidence, I Kith times Mr.
Hill won the match In which he bent Mr.
Byrd lasted 20 holes, nnd Imth times Mr.
Ilyrd bent Mr. Hill he did It by a score of
4 up and 3 to go,

Netv York, Sept. 28.—The Vanderbilt
cup commission decided yesterday to
rescind their decision disqualifying the
Pope-Toledo car with Lytle a* a driver,
as a contestant In the International
race, to be held on October 8.
The action of the cup commission
disqualifying the car was based on the
proteet of the Frayer-Mlller car mak
ers, who protested that the Lytle ma
chine broke down In the race last Sat
urday at the Hair Pin Turn, and had
to be pushed over the course two hun
dred feet by pedestrians In violation of
the racing rules.
Lytle nnd Dtngley, who were the me
chanics of the Pope-Toledo car In the
race, filed over a dozen affidavits with
the cup commission, which showed that
It was not their oar that broke down on
the course, but was the Frayer-Mlller
car, with Lawwetl driving.

WEIRD DOUBLE
IS EXECUTED
It Isn't often that a man starts a dou
ble play and get a an assist by being
hit on the head With a batted ball all
the the same time, but Cameron, of
Boston, did It the other day. The Na
tionals were playing against St. Louis
nnd O'Hara scratched out a single and
Burch followed him at bat. Came
ron pitched him a high one and he
lined It down toward the pl'tcher’s box.
It came so fast that Cameron could not
dodge and the ball cracked him right
on top of the head. Fortunately for
Boston, It bounded high and back In
the direction of home plate and Catch
er O’Neill wefit under It and: caught It
before It touched the ground. That
put Burch out and when O’Neill threw
to flrst O’Hnra was easily retired.
Cameron got an assist for hls part In
the play, but he had.to retire from the
game, sufferlhg with a bad headache.
NEXT GLIDDEN TOUR MAY
BE RUN THROUGH SOUTH
Washington, D. C„ Sept. 28.—If the
Olldden automobile'tour Is to Be over
a Virginia route next year with Nor
folk and tho Jamestown Exposition the
goal, the cars entered for the trip will 1
meet with great obstacles and bad
roads, according to G. Royce Hough,
manager of the Pope Manufacturing
Company, who was one of the party of
three which made the trip from here
to Norfolk last week.
“It will be a question of the survival
of tho Attest," said Mr. Hough today.
"There will be no perfect scores. Of
course the route Is possible for the
tour, but I don't believe any but the
best cars will go the whole trip. Many
of them will have to ship. I drove our
party every foot of the way. At one
time, down there In the swamps near
Norfolk I was going steadily far three
hours and a half and made only 22
miles. That shows you how hard the
going Is.”
It was proposed to have the Olldden
tour start next year from Chicago. In
dianapolis and St. Louis with the goal
at Norfolk, so that the tourists could
take In the Jamestown Exposition at
the end of their 1,000-ml!e run. With
a view to finding out the advisability
of this route through Virginia, Mr.
Hough and Mr. Clandy made the trip.
“In m.v opinion." said Mr. Hough,
"It Is a fairly good route for the Glld-
den tour, because of the very fact that
there* will be no perfect scores. But
also there will be no easy driving be
tween Richmond and Norfolk, and I
think It will be Impossible for the
smaller cars to get through. Only the
best will survive."
Double and Triple Passes
Features of Tech Practice
Tech field waa a busy spot Thursday
afternoon and In spite of the rain and
wind a large aquad of players were
out and working like beavers under
the direction of Coach Helsman and
Assistant Coach Bean. *
One feature of the practice which
brought wonderment to the followers
of football who saw the practice on
Thursday tor the flrst time was the be
wildering array of passes which were
dished out by the Tech team.
Double passes, triple passes, for
ward and back, this way and that—
they were all worked by the Tech can
didates and already the members of
the team are beginning to take kindly
to this novel development of the game.
Coach Helsman may or may not work
fancy pass plays In the games this sea
son, but he Is certainly giving the play
a thorough try-out In practice.
The hardest thing for the spectators
to reconcile themselves to is the for
ward pass. It is so contrary to all the
old rules and precedents that when the
ball goes shooting up the field In t
forward pass It seems Inevitable that
some fatal mistake has been made, and
that the team will be sent back and
penalized for that breach of football
etlquet.
In spite of the fast work that Is be
ing done by the Tech team It Is obvious
that the material is not up to the
standard, and that Coach Helsman will
have to do wonders to develop a win
ner this season.
