In the llrst round or piny, ueorgc v.
Itotan a former winner of tho cup, was
the first to get a bird on tho hole. Stars
to tho number of 48 shot nt It In vain be
fore him ltotan, who Is one of the longest
drivers In the game, ilrovo up to tho left
of the hole and had n long pitch from tho
rough', across pits, to tho green.
He played his hall with n good kick nnd
holed nut a round putt for his birdie.
'Ho had 38 going out, with ono bnll out
of bounds. Tho teo was set hack on the
fourth hole, but tho tall Texnn leaned on
his ball so hard that It carried nearly to
the brook.
Not mlicn lias noen sain niinui mo unv
c nowers of one JIaxHl Mnrston, but
irhen ho catches a bnll Its flight Is some
thing tremendous. IIo drove to the creek
bofore tho 18th green nnd the ball had
plenty of speed when It lilt the water.
When ho and ltotan get together In match
play thcro Is going to be some of tho lnng
t driving seen on tho local courses In
.',yra-
Tho tlrst mrti on tno l Tin noio was mane
by A. II I'arushaw. ITc ran down a fairly
. long putt. C Covering, after a distressing
round of GI going out, had thrco birds com-
pf ing home for a 41. An 11 on tho "th
spoiled his score in tno morning.
Ono of tho cleverest of the birds was
that of Julian T Illshop, tho Washlngton
lln, who has been dlstmblng diplomatic
''golflng'clrcleg by his expert shots for somo
seasons. He found his ball to tho 15th
badly burled in the rough to tho left. Somo
crabapple tree towered between his shot
and the pin, but he went n mile In tho nlr
and landed almost dead for his bird.
Mexico Calls Some ,
Some of tho players were not able to
enter because of the rail to nnm In Mexico.
Among theso was Harold Sands, who Is a
meniber of the First City Troop.
He did well last year In this classic and
nas expected to repeat this year. Tho nb
cnce of others who had promised to play
lias blamed on the war situation.
Bui that did not keep many of tho en
trants from being so closo to tho long 7tll
tote that It was nothing but a midget chip
tot to the ling for their third shot. Tho
ke had been moved back, too.
Marston was one of tlioso to be pinched
for lack of room to lay on his hall. Ho
i overshot the hole In his first round nnd
- tifen had to run down a long downhill putt

lis we could observe be did not seem nota

the M to be wobbly llko that, too, nnd

Topping on tho go ofT. Topping topped most
of bis Initial shots.
Ho topped his first tlrlvo nnd his recov

neatly to the green. He holed a very long

Wilson Potter, nnother locnl expert, was

Sandy McN'Ibllck Tho other day at
Cobb's Creek there were four of us play
ing behind a man and a woman. These
two were only playing ono ball, but they
were going much slower thap wo were.
Wo yelled "fore" nt them, but they would
not let us go through. Finally wo went
through when thoy lost their precious ball,
nnd they were both real nugry. They
caught tip to us at tho next tee and wnnted
to go through, but we thought wo wcro
within our rights not to let them, since
they had held us up all tho way around
and we had gono through them once. Tho
man bald ho was going to write to tho
paper, so wo .thought wo would present
our side too. Which was right?

MACK'S ATHLETICS
HOME TODAY WITH
GRIFFS SENATORS
Hapless, but Hopeful Band,
Augmented by Touted Col
legians, Exhibit Here
HAVEN'T WON SINCE
Hy ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Cornelius Mcrillltcuildy, eommander-ln-chlef
of the Philadelphia Athletic, will mo
blltzo his forces, college reerulti and regu
lars, thin morning in .Shlho I'urk prior to
a btlllctlcss nnd bloodless combat with
Clarko arlltlth's Washington Senators In
the afternoon.
Mack and his bant! of warriors returned
to Philadelphia last night nftcr a somo
what disastrous tour of the Western theatre
of tho American Lcngtie. It wns a most
disastrous jaunt, III fact, for the hapless A's
failed to gather In n single victory. How
ever, neither RInck, his lieutenants. Davis
nnd Thomas, nor his charges urn dlsmnyed
over the failure In tho West; and there will
he much pepper In the play nf the A'n
this afternoon as thcro Is in the chill con
enrno that Is dispensed In tho torrid climes
of .Mexico. V
There is certain to be a large assemblage
within the confines ot Shlho Park today to
greet the Mackmcn. Not that there can bo
any enthusiasm enthused oer tho Macks'
showing, but tho wily "Connie," ns the
iilllcc boy affectionately refets to him. Is
scheduled to Inttodtico more newcomers
than Lew Ilalley Is wont to present at tho
elite gatherings In hia clubhouse on fight
nights.
Joe Hush will be on tho mound this after
noon, and as "llullet .Too" has had a rest
since last Thursday, Manager Muck now
feels that If nn ono can stop tho A's from
uklddlng It Is tho speed pitcher; .hence the
assignment. Manager Griffith has not
named bis pitching entry, and If Walter
Johnson occupies the slab, the fans can look
for a battle between the speed kings.
Among thoso who probably will pnitlmo
In the spangles of tho A's this afternoon, in
practice nt least. If not in actual b.ittle,
will ho Otto Lawry. tho Ialno sensation ;
Howe, a pal of Lawry'H ; Floyd Krepps and
Walter Whlttnker, two. Tufts College stars,
and Pitcher ".ling" Johnson, the Urslnus
speed king. Maishal. Williams, n right
hander, matriculated nt tho University of
North Carolina ; Charley Monahan, a local
twltler. and John .Smith, no relation to tho
fellow by the samo n.tmo rescued by the
adorable Pocohontas, linvc been on the
tceno for somo weeks, und positively will
appear In person today.
Although tho Mackmcn haven't won a,
game sinco Nlcodemus was a pup, C. Mack
Is as full of hope as Carranza Is that Wil
son will Interveno In Mexico, and whllo he
Is not committing himself, he sUll ,1b con
fident that his hoys will strlko their stride
and start on thnt tedious climb out of tho
American Lenguo cave.
Anyway, tho Macks are homo today, nnd
will go to the mnt with thoso Senators
this p. m. unless It inlns or snows.

PITCHING WATER-SOAKED BALL
IN DODGER BATTLE MAKES ALEX
WORK AS HE NEVER DID BEFORE
Uy CHANDLER I). RICHTER
MlOOKtiYN, N. Y.. Juno 20
GnOVRH AL-K.VANtlKn. king pitcher
of tho National League and hero of
many of tho grentest pitching duels of re
cent years, declares that tho first game of
the sorles ngalhst thn Dodgers was the
hardest game he ever pitched. This morn
Inr the lanky Nchrnskan said that ho stl
felt tho effects of tho nine Innings of loll
with n water-soaked ball, and In mud above
his nnkles in tho closing innings of tho
The Philly stnr says that bo has pitched
In two 18-lnnlnif. ono 17-lnnlng and soveral
l(S-lnnlng games, but thnt tho nine Innings
against Itrooklytt yesterday was a greater
strain than all tho rest rolled Into one.
Alrxandi r's arm Is not tired or, weak, but
his legs and bark are stiff iintl sore. After
tho game Alexander wns so tired that ha
went to bed long before 9 o'clock, declaring
that he felt too tired to even leave tho
hotel.
It is hard for n pitcher to throw a rain
soaked hall with any degree of accuracy
under any conditions, but to go thtotigh
nlno Innings under the conditions ctlstlng
yesterday, with tho game so closo nlitl so
much at stake, made It doubly hard for the
Philly star, nnd It Is not likely that ho will
bo able to go back against tho Dodgers In
the final game of tho series, as Manager
Moran hat! planned.
Alex HnK Floor
In fpenklug of yesterdny's game, Alex
ander said:
"You can't Imagine: how tired my legs
were In the closing Innings. It was bad
enough to try to stand up In the mud, which
was ankle deep, but It was niado doubly
hard when the groundkeepers. In trying to
help Pfeffer and myself out, coveted the
pitching hill with sand. Instead of making
It easier for us, It was harder, Tho sand
would stick to our shoes, nnd tho mud
would stick to the sand.
"nvery time I pitched I rtepped Into a
mud hole and brought up a couple pounds
of mud, clinging to tho Mind, It was tir
ing to continually kick the mud off my
shoes and also hard to keep inyVfootlng. I
hail to tin mint of my pitching from the
hack Instead ot my shoulder, . I feared
that I would .slip and wrench my nrm If I
tried to swing fiee fiom tho shoulder.
"I luivo pitched IS- 17- and IG-lnnlng
games, and It often has been said that I
havt) been overworked, but I never went
through a bnll game as hard ns that of
yesterday, and I never bopo to go through
another. Manager Moran asked mo If I
wanted to lenve the game, but I feared that
this first clash with Brooklyn meant a lot,
nnd I wanted to win It. It gives us tbe
edge, nnd I would not be surprised If we
wero on ovon terms with them when tho
series ends. It was a tough gamo to pitch,
but surely was worth winning "
Tho entire Philly team feel that tho
breaking of the long string of defeats at the
hands of the Dodgers, parllcutnrly after
such a grueling battle, means that tho con
fidence and fight of lloblnson's team will
bo affected. Nothing but four out of five
will satisfy Martin's men now, but if nil the
gnmes nrn as bitterly contested as the first
battle, both teams nro likely to suffer from
reaction immediately nftcr the present
series Is completed.
Yesterday's game was won because Alex
ander was romplate master of tho situation
In tho pinches, and I"rci! Lhrtcrus nt last
succeeded In putting n terrific drive into
right field. A wonderful long-distance hit
ter Into right field In the past, Luderus has
been unnblo to pull the bnll this season
without losing his stride ; which makes him
a mark for a ptlclter who enn keep tho hnll
on tho outside corner of the plnlo, but yos
torday ho mado one of the greatest drives
It ever has been our fortune to see.
The right field foneo hero Is as far ns
Shlho Park, hut nbout 20 feet higher, nnd
It takcB a mights drlc to clear the wall.
Luderus' smash, winning the game, not only
cleared the fence with many yards to spare,
but nlno wns made wllh a wntcr-soaked
ball. Tho ball had been fouled off nnd
Pitcher Pfeffer hesitated nbout pitching It,
a rule being In force that the pitchers could
have n dry ball whenever they desired It.
Pfeffer believed that the ball wns Just dry
enough to handle and too wet lb travel ver
far, but Luderus fooled him and amazed
the spectators nhd players ns well.
"Ill" JtcCormlck, who cAughl tho famous
Jimmy Onlvln, of Iluffalo, back In 1884,
wns a spectator and declared that he never
saw such a hart tlrlvo tinder tho clrcum
stances. If It hat! been a dry ball it would
have been n record hit. Luderus has made
several record drives on National League
fields, but declares thai yesterday ho hit
the ball harder than any In his career.
On a dry field Alexander, would have
blanked the Dodgers. Mowrey's double
which scored Wheat would have been an
easy out If Cravath could have moved over
the ground, whllo Wheat, who reached third
by virtue of a trlpte, would only have had
a single on his hit on n dry field. The last
run was due to Unncroft and Nlchoft falling
In going after Mycr's high bounder In the
ninth inning.

REMEMBER-
Turkish tobacco
is the world's most
famous tobacco
for cigarettes.
mil
!-
When you smoke your
first Murad, you won't
merely say:
"This is a better cigarette than the
1 5 Cent brand I've been smoking."
You'll say:
"Why, this Murad is a Revela
tion. Many 25 Cent brands are
not so good."
That is the BIG POINT on
which Murad beats the world a
15 Cent cigarette that's Better
than most of the 25 Cent brands.
