and It will not be at till surprising If
Michigan lins the flncit pasters nnd han

Bob Folwell, who mado a sensational
record with the Wnshlnnton and Jefferson
eleven lust fall, will return to WnshliiR
ton, Pa.. In a few days to take charge of
early practice, Folwell has lost Patter
son, .Spiegel, Young, Youngklns, Good'
win, Flcmmine, Crulkshank, Itcgulo Ho
vlll and sex oral other first hiring men, yet
he Is confident of turning out a cham
pionship cliven. It was reported last fall
that Folncll probably would bo offered
a position as coach at Penn, but bcfoie
anythliin definite wan don Manager Mur
ray, of Washington and Jefferson, ten
dered him a new contract and signed
Ulm up.
Folwell Is one of the best coaches ever
turned out by Penn, Whllo nt Lafayette
his team defeated Princeton, Penn arid
Lehigh In succession, and Washington
and Jefferson last year gave Ilarvatd
the hnrdest game of tho season, and was
beaten by n small margin. His team de
feated Yale, Pittsburgh, and won the
post-season game with Rutgers on the
Polo Grounds In New York. It was onn
of the hardest scHcdules ever attempted
by a small college, nnd the team went
through the season with only ono defeat
chalked against It.
Tho secret of Folwell's success lies In
his powerful personality. He Instills the
Spirit In his men that wins games and
they carry out every order, regardless
of Its outcome. If he told his players
to slldu on their cars while bucking the
line, hey would do It and smite during
tho performance. His authority never Is
questioned o nor off the field. In addi
tion to his coaching, Folwell acts as
trainer for the snuad, nnd the condition
of his teams speaks for Itself.
Hill Hollcnback will coach Pennsylvania
Military Collese. nt Chester, Ta., this
year and will Issue a call for early prac
tleo In a few days. Bill Itopcr will coach
tho team at Swnrthmorc, and an effort
will be made to get the Garnet players
together for a trnlhlng trip In about two
weeks. Although tho Quakers have lost
Bcu Clime, Pete Hunter and Tom Mc
Citbc, prospects for a good team are
brlghtor than ever before. Pennsylvania
Is not on the schedule, hut several strong
"teams will be played, and the season
will eitd with the annual clash with Har
vard, which will bo played on the homo
grounds.
The season will start In earnest on Sep
tember 25, but the grand opening will bo
held on September 18, when Carlisle meets

with Uloomsburg Normal School.

SIR FITZ, GOLFER EXTRAORDINARY,
HIMSELF HOLED OUT THE BULL
A True Chronicle of the Much-bedecked Englishman
and His Great Game Sextet of Philadelphians
Certain to Figure in Tourney at Detroit
Sir Fitzmaurlce John Fenton, bo gies
the story, was subject to rheumatism
and chills. He was nlso an Incurable
llnksltls victim. An English fog will
sneak In wherever there l so much ns
n loose button, nnd, In ordr to protect
his chills while plnylng golf, his slrslilp
was obliged to resort to all kinds of dis
guises for his small self. Ho whs partial
to red, and beginning nt tho beginning,
so to Bpcalc, over red shin plasters, chest
protectors nnd a red flannel union suit
he wore Bovcral layers of red sweaters
nnd topped It off with a voluminous red
blnzer.
It took three expert hnndmen to doll
out Sir Fltz for his round on the links
every day. And when ho was topped off
with a violent ted cap there wasn't much
visible except n bright ted knobbed nose,
so that the Ptudy In red was complete.
One day Sir Fitz was diving for divots
ni usual on tho Royal Turtlnnd link?
when he actually hit his ball and sliced
It Into n nearby field out of bounds. His
enddy had lost Interest In the play and
had sone to wnlt at the next ee. some
100 yards distant.
" 'ere, 'ere, boy, let's 'avc the ball
hout," shouted Sir Fitz to his caddy, but
the latter sat . unmoved,. downing in apple
in great bolts.
'So the besweatered golfer was finally
obliged to- go over the fence after tho
ball himself. He missed his footing nnd
fell unconscious In the heather. He enme
to In tlmo to see a baby bull charging at
him In a storm of cocking hoofs and
switching tall. Ho Just failed to mako
the gate and rose gently on the sawed-oft
horns of the brute. He rose on the fair
way like a rubber ball. But the bull took
tho gate and was right on his heels.
Down the green sped Sir Fltz townrd a
lake with the horns of the animal press
ing in tho rear unable to gain, so great
was the golfer's haste. But soon nnothcr
flip put the latter In a sand pit. Moro
frantic than ever, he scrambled for the
lake.
" 'ow HI 'ope HI make hit." sobbed Sir
Fits, but Just at the brink the charging
bull hit him full athwart the rear. Like a
comet Sir Fltz rose ln a special arc and
dropped with a great splash In the lake.
" 'oled hout'sanz the caddy from a safe
perch In a tree. Ho was frantic for Joy
at the treat he had seen. "That's a bird,
mister. Hlt'n 230 yards from where you
started hand hit honly took three shots."
Sir Fltz turned over to swim on his back
and mado no answer. Toward twilight
the bull left, Sir Fltz paddled aBhoro and
limped home. Tho next day he Is said to
have added a red flannel bustle to his
outfit of shin plasters and sweaters.
Six Philadelphians will go to Detroit
this week to battle for honors In the
biggest amateur ovent of tho year. The
national championship will ba a seven
day affair over tho links at Grosse Point
Farms, considered by many to be ono
of the best tests or golf In this country.
George Crump and Howard Perrln, two
of this city's steadiest players, will have
a gcod chanco of finishing with the win
ners if they play up to the form they
have shown latoly, Both play at Pino
Valley which, according to Travers and
Ouimet, Is without a peer In this
country.
Hugh Wllloughby Is entered and his
form when he won the Philadelphia
championship should qualify him. He
has been playing at Newport lately.
Cameron B. Buxton, Reginald 'Worth
lngton nnd W. P. Smith will mako
trouble If they play tho golf they are
cnpable of and they are right on their
game. George V, Itotan, Pine Valley,
THE THRILLING PHILLIES
The war news proweth stale,
We've heard it all before;
A drive will win or fail;
The vanquished aide will wail.
It's quite a bore
To read of war.
And orders, though they pay,
' As news are out of date;
The thrills that yesterday
They gave, have slipped away;
It is but fate
That these abate.
But one thing holds its fame,
Its power to give us chills;
No doubt you know the game,
If not, iiyu a shame.
For constant thrills
Give us the Phils.
Pitcher Marquard Sold
NEW YORK, Aug. 28,-Rlchard (Rube)
Marquard left-handed pitcher, has been
sold by the Now York Nationals to the
Toronto club, of the International League,
Under the terms of the transaction the
aiants are to get Pitcher Herbert from
tho Canadian team. It Is understood that
all major league clubs waived claims to
Marquard because of their unwillingness
to pay tho high salary which, his contract
calls for This salary will undoubtedly
be paid off by the two clubs. Marquard
declared hli unwillingness to Join the To
ronto club and wants his unconditional
rlar,e.
the recruit to local circles from Texas,
Is tcnowncd for hlo long game nnd Is
plnylng ut a foster pace this ear than
ever before. It Is confidently predicted
that this nextet will bo heard from when
things wot going.
Undisturbed by tho uproar at Detroit,
12S local golfers fell on the Bala course
yesterday In the annual Invltntlon tour
nament there. Young Norman Maxwell
led tho Held In tho morning with an Hi.
Of the first nine holes he had eight In
five strokes. At the end of the round
ho throw his stick on the ground In dis
gust, but his score was not equaled
until late In the afternoon.
Though 233 balls were aimed at tho long
revunth hole hardly a. dozen went down In
five J. Anderson was the hero of the
doy when he got a bird four there.
J. F Hullowell took two short to get
out of the first bunker on the seventh,
and then he went Into the bunker behind
the green. The hole cost him many
strokes. Ho fell over the bunker nnd
mlmed n short putt. But despite his anger
and a thundering freight train he drove
neatly over tho lake.
Cecil Calvert, winner of many local- hon
ors this reason, has a bad case of water
on the knee, which greatly affects his
game.
The beautiful gold medal awarded has
a significant picture of the lake hole on Irs
face. This Is one of the meanest hazards
in the city.
Dr. F. F. Devlin drove seven balls out
of bounds. His driving was rattled by a
beaut'ful drive he had on the third hole,
whlcii went In a hollow tree stump nnd
cost him three strokes.
W. P. Cleveland, who put Buxton out of
tho city championships, showed the gal
lery a, great shot on the ninth hole. His
ball was un a downward He ln a trap bo
fore the green. He put an exaggerated
cut on t'10 bal1 and " curled over the
bunker nently up to the hole. The divot
he took was eight inches long.
Ono of the merriest holes In the coun
try Is tho fifth hole at Pine Valley. There
Is nothing hard about it when one Is
about two Inches from the cup, but up to
that time the going Is rated as "rough."
It Is nearly always Inspiring to step out
on a plateau on the side of a mountain
at a golf course and be told to drive into
the gloaming, because, even If topped, tho
ball has to travel at least till It hits bot
tom. But at No. 5, at P. V it's different.
Palms and ferns of all kinds are
tangled on the side of the hill in front
on the tee. So no one does not lose his
ball In there. Rather, he hits harder; yes,
much harder, for below, silent as the night,
Is a stream llko the Dead Sea. It Isn't
a goat-getter or a mental hazard. It Is
paralyzing. Tho clubhouse is near, and
many golfers take a bracer before trying
tho shot. It Is a long carry across 2W
yards to the green. There Is a valley be
tween the tee and the green. The water
Is eblow. Going up the side of the hill,
across the water to the green, Is a bitter
Journey.
A pull goes In a Jumble of trees and
sandpits and all a slice does is go down
the mountainside and through a Jungle.
The greens is guarded by all deviltries
of man and nature. Monstrouu sandpits,
canny slopes, dumps, bumps and hunipt
aro tho main difficulties.

GENE DALE CHOSEN
BY HERZOG TO DO
THE HURLING TODAY
Pat Moran Will Depend Upon
Mayer or Eppa Rixey to
Trim the Reds Once
More
The Phillies, with a lead of two and a
half games, will enter todny's game v.ltli
the Ileds bv far more confident than they
Were betoie the double-header of yester
day. Not only have the Phils broken the
sp'rlt of the Keds by taking the first two
games, but they have Herzog's men on
the defensive, because Cincinnati has not
a pitcher eligible to work who will not
bo going to the mound without his proper
rest.
Ilerzog said this morning that he would
use Gene Dale, the most consistent per
former on his Ftaff, If Dale's side would
permit him working. In the second game
with Brooklyn, Dale wrenched his side
bo badly that he was forced to retlro
from the game, and he has done llttlo
work since, but Hcrzog will take a
chance on htm If ho Is in good enough
trim.
Manager Moran la likely to send Mayer
to the mound. The clever side-arm
artist looked by far better In his Inst
start thon ho has for a month, -and tho
general belief Is that he Is rnpldly com
ing back to his early season form. If
Mayer docs not warm up well, Hppo
Rlxey will go back again this afternoon.

As tho Dope Has It
The PMlHc nr weak at the bat;
Then are sow on snrrd find ftifrlottc;
In fact, about nil they are pond for
It leading the league.
"I low are jou plcklnir 'em now In tht.
National League?" queries L. P. We're
nor picking 'cm nmv. We've decided to
wnlt until the Immediate vicinity or Oc
tober S.
This seems to be query day In bulk.
Here's another:
Dear Sir Who Is the grentost lawn ten
Ms player of nil time Dohcrty, Wilding,
Brookes, Lnrned or McLoughlin? W, A.
I. Roohestcr, N. Y.
There Is no selecting tho greatest star
of nil time In nny sport Tho closest ap
proach to a selection might come In bnse
bnll, where records show exactly what
each mnn did. In bnscbnll, for Instance,
Cobb hns outclassed the field by a wider
tnnrgln than nny player ever did before,
und so might be registered an the great
est plnyer that ever lived. So a runner
who could travel 100 yatds In 311-5 aeconds
might well be known iia the greatest
sprinter ever rent to the track. In golf
there i a matter of par to play against
tho record of sttokes but In lawn tenuis
thero Is no such record ono man's game
depending largely upon his rival's play.
Uiookes hns beaten Wild tig and Wilding
has beaten Brookes. Both have beaten
McLoughlin and McLoughlin has beaten
both. And who Is there to sajv that Mc
Loughlin at his best is any better or nny
worse than Lamed at his best? Certainly
not us.
Agreement
A Boston fanatic has put through this
kick: "Don't you think." he writes, "that
tho 23-cent patrons should receive better
nccommadatlons nnd that there should
be more 23-ccnt seats?"
We do. Ten cent baseball Is prun
ing down tho scale too much for the main
tenance of ntandard sport. But for those
who nro willing to pay 25 cents and nre
unnble to pay any more conditions should
be changed entirely. Tho 2j-ccnt patron
deserves, far better accommodations than
he hns received of lato years.
Picking the Greatest
Picking the greatest entry In any sport
Involves abnormal risk. McLoughlin list
season was rated as the greatest of all
tennis players by n wide margin and then
Williams beat him.
Ouimet was placed beyond all amateur
golf rivalry after beating Travers at Kk
wnnok and adding the amateur to the
open title of the year before. He had
beaten Travers three straight times. Then
nt Baltusrol. Travers turned and beat
Ouimet by nearly twenty strokes in the
open championship at medal piny.

Yet, with nil the dnpo thre Is to rail
hack on. picking a winner at cither plttc
Is as complex a proposition as selecting
the flag victor In the National League, or
the American League or the Fids. Many
can guess, but there Isn't any ono wltlt
arty logical dope tn back nn opinion Un.
Por no mnn can tell whether McLoughlin
will hnc an Inspired week, or will ngrtlr,

whether 1'vins will Improve In his put

Changed Days
Seme years nco It was easy enough to
forecast that Travers or Travis would
win at golf and that Bill Lamed would
retain his crown without stirring up
much dust.
Or that the Mackmen would canter
home In the American League or that
the Glnntt) or Cubs would gather In nil
the glory there wbb ln the older circuit.
But those days are gone. There nre
too many first-class entries now In golf
and tennis to figure any one man n Yaltly
well primed certainty. Tho betting
against Travers, Ouimet or Kvrtns nt De
troit will be at lcait 5 to I. And there
arc bIv clubs In the National, thrco In the
American und five In the Federal Lcntrue
to be considered ss late as waning summer.

Colonel Connie Mack says ho sold Col
lins, 13. Murphy, Barry and PennocU for
"good and sufficient reasons." Also for
(82 000. Which Isn't the least of the
reasons.
Then and Now
Two years ago at this date the Cubs,
carrying a percentage of .558 In the Na
tional League, were n poor third.
Todny any club with a percentage of
.56S would come near wrccklhg the dad
binged league.
Stuff that was bf no volje Inst year
may be worth a mint next season.
It must have been a terrible blow tp,
Fred Snodgrass to be forced upon the
Brnves with nn Inside shot at that extra.
J3C-0Q dispensed around world ecrlcs time.
Terrible, indeed.
And the chances art that If Col. Snod
grass gets ln another world series against
the Red Sox and another fly ball worth
$30,000 drifts toward centre He'd lie will
not only employ the single and double
grab, but also his teeth nnd toes In meet
ing the situation. Onco Is nlso enough
with $30,000 at stake,
