prevent tho ban rrom running over tho

toe of the former touching the heel of, the
Jitter, The ball should now be struck In
the exact Center, and in a line parallel
fiwth the right root. Follow through a
xdlitonce of eix inches.
, Great care should be taken not to hit the
ball twice or to hit either of the feet If

The committee on tho Philadelphia open
tournament has had a happy thought and
wishes 50 Rtrong-arm golf fans, nmateuia
preferred, to act aa scorers. One man
will be sent around with each match. In
this way there will be no chance of a
mistake, and the players will not have
to be annoyed with keeping them. At
tho same time the scorer will have a
Chanco to study the shota at close range

It there are any enthusiasts who can count
up to 69 and who have a aeltfntinc turn

There were many unusual features to
the Fourth Ancient and Honorable tour
nament of the Golf Association of Phila
delphia, played yesterday at the Meron
Cricket Club, Haverford, Four men com
bined In a peculiar tie for tho three prizes.
They wre Harrison Towneend, of Aron
lmlnk; George W. Statzell, of Aronlmlnkj
Emmett O'Neill, of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, and Herman Wendell, of
St. David's.
In the first place all four of them were
tied for low gross score with cards of SO.
However, Towneend and O'Neill, with
handicaps of H. nUo tied for low net at 76.
There Is but one prlie for low gross score
and two for low net scores. After much
discussion It was finally decided that
O'Neill and Towneend must play off to
te determine the winner and runner-up for
the net trophies, and Wendell and 8tatll
should play oft for the gold medal
When these four mon will get together
In an effort to decide the question of su
premacy still Is to be decided.
Unfamlllarlty with the rules ot golf
caused several of the veterans, all of
whom were 65 years young, while some
were well along toward threo-ecore and
ten, to automatically disqualify them
selves. One found his ball In an unplay
able position, close to the stone wall near
tho 13th green. Although he had the prlv
llejre of dropping back anywhere on the
coursq for a two-stroke penalty, he hacked
away Ineffectually a number of times, and
then picked up In disgust. Another lost
his ball after driving from the 18th tee.
Instead of going back, he played from
where the ball was last seen.

NEW YORK, July 31 -BUI Brown,

LEAGUE-LEADING PHUS
AND LOWLY CARDS
MEET IN DOUBLE BILL
Rixey and Demaree Due to
Pitch in Games at St.
Louis Today Doak and
Meadows Huggins' Bets.
ST. LOUIS, July 3t The league-leading
Phillies and the fast-slipping Cardinals
are scheduled to play a double-header thla
afternoon. Two victories for the Phillies
will completely wreck Hhe Cardinals' pen
nant hopes, while two victories for St.
Louts are likely to put the Phillies on
the toboggan.
Moran'B men were greatly pleased at
the victory of the Reds over the Braves
yesterday, as they have come to believe
that it will be Boston and not Brooklyn
who will give them the most trouble.
Manager Moran was disappointed at yes
terday's postponement, as he hopes to
dodge double-headers as much as he can
on this trip.
The Phllly pitchers are all In good trim,
however, and It Is not likely that one
double-header will do them any harm.
Eppa Rlxey and Al Pemaree are slated
to work for the Phillies this afternoon,
although there la a possibility of Alex
ander the Great returning to the mound.
Manager Huggins probably will come
back with Willie Doak In one game, with
either Perdue or Meadow In the other.
If the Phillies win the first game It I a
certainty that Doak will be on the mound
for the second contest In order to prevent
the killing of the pennant hopes that
still cling with the Cardinals.
FOR TODAY'S HURLER
Mitchell or James Will Perform
for Lee Fohl Against the
Athletics.
Tom Sheehan, the young right-handed
pitcher from Peoria, who made such a
good Impression on the fans In his local
debut against the Browns, will be on the
mound for the Athletic In the iscond
game of the series with Cleveland this
afternoon. Sheehan la Improving rapidly
under tho tutelage of Ira Thomas and
Mack expects to have a finished twlrler
before the close ot the season.
Sheehan appears to have everything
that a youngster need to make good but
experience and he seems to know more
about pitching than the average recruit
He has won both of hla games, defeating
Detroit and Bt Louis In game that re
quired plenty of nerve, as each contet
was cloe nil the way
Manager Fohl will send either WtUlo
Mitchell or Sam Jonea against the Macks,
and with the Indians playing a well a
any team in the league at the preient
time, Fohl believe that either can defeat
the Mackinen . .
Th victory In the flrt game of the
erles makes six victories for Cleveland
over the Athletic In 10 day and th In
dians appear to have something on the
Mackmen. Guy Morton was invlnclbl In

A large bale Of money very often de
pends upon a minor incident It nwy
depend on one's ability to draw n Jack
In puce of a queen or a 10 spot or K
heart In place ot a spade The other day
a rumor Invaded Wall street that A air
man submarine had stink art American
boat, and the market promptly caved in
some iiS.OCO.MO.
So In this present National League race
the physical condition of three ball play
ers meant at least 1256 000 to the owner
of flag-contending clubs.
The League's Luck
If Johnny Ever hadn't cracked hit
ankle late In April, If Dick Iludolph and
Bill James had opened the season a
well conditioned for work a they wire
at the finish last year, the flag race tn
the N, L. would have been over by the
middle of June. By that date the
Brave would have been eight Or ten
gmt to the good, with subsequent in
terest about as bulky a the eye ball of
a gnat
The spirited scramble of seven olub
through June and July would have been
wiped off the board and th Big Yawn
wuld have set in long since.
These accidents were legitimate parts ot
the Industry. Even the gam' most vio
lent critic could never charge a frame
up with Ever carrj Ing a broken ankle
raging on the bench to get back In.
Another Turn
Thla lucky turn for th N. L. reclt
another financial spasm of good fortune
whtch de eloped In 1912. wheaOlanU and
Red Box were battling tor the world
series.
In the third game at Boston, with the
score i to 1 In favor of the Otants in
the ninth inning, the Red Sox had two
men on, with two out, when n Red Box
slugger lashed a long drive to deep right
field. Nineteen times out ot M that blow
would have gone for three bases, driving
In two runs tor a Boston victory.
By one of those miracle catches Joh
Devore. moving at top peed, snatched
the ball over hi shoulder while out of
roaltlon for the catch and saved the
same If Devore had misted that super
human Itab the Red Sox would have
landed the series Inside th first five
games, as they promptly won the next
two, and more than IttO.OOO In gate re
ceipts would have been lost
Yet no ono could possibly charge any
frame-up on the play, for tho Boston
batsman did his part by smashing one on
a line Into apparent safe territory, where
only a miracle catch saved the day. And
frame-ups aro not extended to the bor
derland of miracles.

Local Tennis Players Have
Good Chance for Trophies at
Longwood.
BOSTON, Ma., July 31.-Phlladelphla
Is represented on both aides of the final
round for the Eastern lawn tenni
doubles championship, to be played today
at the Longwood Cricket Club. R, Nor
rls Williams, Jd, of Philadelphia, and
Watson M Washburn, of New York,
form one team,, and Wallace F. John
son, of Philadelphia, and Irving C
Wright, of Boston, the other. The win
ner this afternoon qualifies for the pre
liminary round for the national double
championship.
In the course ot yesterday's play two
Philadelphia wer eliminated Craltf
Blddle, of Philadelphia, and Harry C.
Johnson, of Boston, forced H H. Hjckett
and T. R. Pell to five sets in tho fourth
round, eventually losing by the score
of 8-6. -a, 1-6, 8-6. 6-2. C. C Caner, of
Philadelphia, and H H. Bundy, of Bos
ton, received . default In the fourth
round and were then beaten by Johnson
and Wright In the semi-final In three
sets at 6-2. 6-0, 6-3.
Williams and Washburn, whose form
has been none too good In the earlier
rounds, struck, their atrldo yesterday.
Both of their matches were five-set af
fair. They first defeated N. W, Nile
and O P. Gardner. Jr., of Boaton. at
6-2. 6-3. 4-6, t-6, 6-3, and then Hackett
and Pell at 2-6,3-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3
The match today should bring out th
very best In tennis. Johnson and Wright
play the steadiest ot games, and the lat
ter Is a brilliant net performed. Wash
burn, who ha not heretofore been an
especially brilliant double Player, made
a fine Impression yetterday, while Wil
liam revealed more than he na ever
ehown before at doubes.
Immediately the Eastern double cham
pionship I decided th fifth round
matches In the Longwood singles wilt be
played. Thl will bring that event out
to the semifinals, which, with the final,
Is down for decision on Monday. Th
