Jemison by the close score of 2upin 36 inch holes. The match was stubbornly fougnt all the way through and it took the last two holes to decide who should get state gold cup and the honors of being the state champion. At the end of the 36th hole Seldon and Jemison were, tied but the former won the next two consecutive holes and the match. The scores wore close to the bogey mark and brought to an end one of the best tournamenls ever held iu the state. Mr. Jemison won his way into the finals by defeating Mr. Andrew Man son of Darien in an 18-hole match and hut for some unsteadiness he would have shown up stronger in the finals today Dr. Selden was at him self during the entire game and play ed magnificently front the grst to the j last. In the city tournament last i fall he won first place from J. T. Wright by just such ulaylag. J. P. Williams won the second flight from A. O. Coleman and on Monday W. D. McNeil and W. E. Me- Andrews will fight it out for one of the other cups. All told the touA nament has been a great success and will be made a permanent athletic event In Georgia ‘years to come. The ' pri7.es that wi re awarded to the ; winners are handsome affairs and 1 were more than well worth winning. CLEMSON BEAT TECH ON THE TRACK ATLANTA. Ga. —Clemson college i track team defeated Georgia Tech • her. Saturday by the store of 80 to 29. The Tech team won only one ; firs- place and In one event, the 440 - ard dash, they were shut out of even a place. 1 * TEAMS WILL BE ALLOWED MORE PLAYERS * Secretary Farr, of the .Augusta Baseball Club, returned Saturday and brought the glad tidings that President Jones has wrltte® Setters to all the league directors, requesting them to get together on th« question of a more liberal player limit. Ar.d furthermore the genial sec retary expressed it as his opinion that the rule is doomed, that within two or three days every club in the league will be carrying at least 13 men. • i - It is evident that the plight of the Augusta team brought president Jones face to face with the stern realization that for the best interests of the league it was up to him to make yet. another effort to bring about the abolition of the unfortunate regulation, and that this effort will ra. suit in success is practically a foregone conclusion. ‘ You can just sqy for me.” declared Secretary Farr night, “that I'm for Castro more than ever, since I investigated that unfor tunate Macon mix-up. In my opinion he did exactly what he should have done, fie had a just kick coming, and he tried to get Umpire Sett lev's ear. But being not only an incompetent umpire but a man who loses his head, Settley refused to listen to Castro and ordered him off the grounds. When the Count remonstrated he fined him the outrage ous sum of $50.” , Mr. Farr went on to state, also, that he put the matter up to Presi dent Jones and Umpire Settley so strong that they were both constrained to admit that Castro was ritfl!t, that he had a righteous kick coming when Settley struck McMahon. And yet., notwithstanding that admis sion. President Jones has not. suspended Castro’s severe sentence. Oo the l contrary, he goes still further and fines the Augusta club SIOO for leaving the field Thursday afternoon. "Nig” Muliin is momentarily expected, and he will greatly strengthen the line-up when he dons a Tourist uniform again and trots out to hia old accustomed position in the outer garden. He is a hard player, this Muliin, with a head that's always working overtime .and his ginger is contagious on the bail field. With the willow he can clout at a fairly good rate, and taken all in all he will fit nicely in that worry some out field hole. President Jones will be in town Monday. And we guess that be fore he gets out again he’li wish that he hadn’t. Mot that physical violence is anticipated. Say not so. But there are several pertinent questions that tor nights past have been keeping Augusta fans awake and it’s an easy' bet that the league mogul will find himself besieged with a cordon of anxious inquirers by the time he hits the main stem. Maybe his eye will chance to fall on this column. If so. we d like for him to he cocked and primed with an answer to this query: Why is it granting, as Secretary Farr declares he virtually did, that Settley was wmng in his severe' not to say outrageous treatment of Castro in Thursday’s game, the SSO fine was not remitted. Secretary Farr said many things when he came back from Macon. In fact he hasn’t finished yet. He went to the bottom of that Thurs day fracas in a manner that would have made Sherlock Holmes turn green with envy, and he emerged from the sweet-scented investiga tion with some very fine convicnons. The chiefest of which being that Umpire Settley is the most in competent, unjust and exasperating arbitrator that he ever saw on a ball field Laird batted out of his turn in Friday’s game, scoring t.wb runs Under rule 51 he should not have been called out, but the man marked out for whom he batted, and the runs should have been called in But Settley called L,aird out, let the runs count, and went ahead as if he had performed nothing but his duty as it is marked out distinctly by the Rule Book, and did it in the fg.ee of grave danger. * The scheduled double-headei against Jacksonville on Monday has been called off. or at least the first half of it. The morning game will be plaved Wednesday afternoon, which was according to the schedule an open date. Hostilities will start promptly at 3:30 P. m„ in Clfder that the Scouts may catch a train. Muilaney comes here with a strong aggregation. And against the somewhat battle-scarred and crippled Tourist line-up they will loom par ticularly large. - BISGESTIUraif EIEB YET HELD IS PLANNED NEW YORK. —Arrangements were practically completed today for the biggest professional Marathon puce: yet held in this country—the grand international Marathon, for a purse of ten thousand dollars In which a scor,. of the leading professional long distance runners from all over the world have been invited to compete over the course at the Polo Grounds on the afternoon of May 8. The purse will be divided as follows: $5,000 to the winner; $2,000 to the second man; $1,200 to the third, SBOO to the fourth SSOO to the fifth; S3OO to the sixth, and S2OO to the seventh man. Some of the leading runners invited to compete are: St. Yves, Longboat, Dorando, Shrubb, Hayes, Maloney, Svanberg, White, ’ Simpson and Carajal. WALKER WILLING TO RUN RECTOR AGAIN CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—James Rector, America’s premier sprinter, received a letter Saturday from Wal 'ker. the South African, saying that it would be to the advantage of both to meet once more on the cinder path, because, be said, the winning of one race was by no means an indication of a man's superiority. The South African said he would leave his home at Durban April 29. for Ixindon to enter the English cham pionships. During June and July he said he would enter various British championships and leave for America in September or October, when he stood ready to meet both Rector and Kerr, the Canadian champion.

NEW YORK.—Alfred Shrubb, the Englishman, once more proved him self the greatest middle distance run ner in the business, by defeating Hen ri St. Yves -of France, at the Amer ican League grounds Saturday night. At no time was the result of the race in doubt. Shrubb at tho outset as sumed a pace that the Frenchman could not follow with his pit-a-pat stride. When had been covered he had secured a lead of two laps, and this seemed to content him, for he ran the remainder of the race at St. Yves side. During the last two miles of the race St. Yves made frantic efforts to catch his rival, but to no avail. Shrubb’s time for the race, one hour 2fi minutes and 12 seconds, was over four minutes behind the profes sional record and nearly six minutes behind the amateur mark. This slow time was due to the fact that the Frenchman could not make him do his best during the last half of the race. The night was cold and windy, and this probably affected the runners as well as the attendance. ROBERT WATCHORN RESIGNED. , WASHINGTON.—Robert Watchorn, j commissioner of immigration at New York.
