HUNTINGDON VALLEY WIZARDS
LOOK GOOD TO KEEP CROWN
FOR CLUB TEAM GOLF TITLE
Present Champions
, Have Chance to Con

( Stranger at Pocono
By SANDY McNIBLICK
TOMORROW 40 hand-picked delegates
from four different solf clubs will go to
grips for tho team championship of the
Philadelphia Golf Association.
Among thoBo presont will bo a smatl
squad of gray-haired and otherwise veterans
representing Huntingdon Valley. Not many
new faces will bo found In Its ranks. It's
(something llko a million-dollar Infield. It
grinds out victories. It now holds tho
chwnplonshlp belt and It docs not Intend
for a minute to let go.
Then there's an entirely now squad of
golfmen who will enter the tilts tomor
row over tho courso of tho Philadelphia
Country Club.
This Is tho shooters from Aronlmlnk who
hammered their way Into tho match play
by finishing only three shots behind Hunt
ingdon Valley, tho champions. This new
group oi' golfers may stir up tho still
waters of tho annual meet.
But It looks as though the principal con
test for the cup will ba as of yore, be
tween Huntingdon Valley and tho Philadel
phia Country Club, which latter will bo
playing on Its homo courso.
Tho Country Club led all tho rest homo
tn the qualifying round when It wns 28
strokes better than tho nearest club, or
an average of four strokes better to tho
man.
Thero will ba four-ball play In tho morn
ing and single matches In tho afternoon to
morrow and tho next day.
Most fans feel that Huntingdon Valley
will continue on Its sunny way as cham
pions over another year. Tho team will
bo led by Cameron B. Buxton, fresh from
his triumphs In the Individual champion
ship of the city.' Ho Is playing a brand of
golf that none of tho locals Bccms to bo nblo
to toji.
U. C. Burton, trbuncor of Sidney Shar
wood, and Hugh Wllloughby, former cham
pion, Is picking up a great lot and should
havo tho confluence to bowl over an adver
sary or two.
George "W. Elklns, Jr., Is nnothcr Hun
tingdon Valley man who has been showing
many experts a pair of heels lately and he
will be a big asset to the team.
Thero are few golfers capable of beating
Harold JIcFarland right now and he may
play No. 2 for tho champions. Dr. Simon
Carr, Richard Mott, Dr. M. K. Nelffer. II.
II. Pranclno, Wirt Thompson, Walter Pfell
and others will make up a formldablo line
and It will take some very heavy cannonad
ing to shatter their chances.
A Big Man, a Little Mountain
This will bo the nineteenth crack at the
title. ' Merlon won It In 18S7, the first yenr
the bunting was shaken out. Huntingdon
Valley has won It 12 times and tho Coun
try Club tho other eight.
Cecil Calvert, who cleaned up all kinds
of tournaments last year and was tho star
of the season, greeted many friends at
Aronlmlnk this week, and said he was In
elegant shnpo for anothor season on tho
links.
They tell a story about an enormous
man who appeared at a courso In the
Poconos a couple of years ago and nfter

proportionally largo pipe, absorbed tho In
structions nnd then proceeded to tee up
his bnll. . , ,
Ho took four handfuls of sand and built
himself a young mountain. On the sum
mit ho laid his ball.
"That's no game," yelled tho pro. "You 11

But tho big man refused to play unless
ho could uso his big tec. Tho pro gavo
In and sat back to laugh.
Tho "beginner" swung hearty and tho
bull nnlleil 'rnoRt a mile. It was lost In
the gloaming and wns still going when It
mounted high over tho green.
"That's tho longest Bhot I've ever seen,"
cried tho pro In amaaoment. Tho driver

Wllllo Anderson won tho open three times
straight In 1903. 1904 nnd 1905. Ho won It
In 1901 nlso, and was runner-up In 1907. In
1901 he won with a score of 331, which Is
tho highest on record for tho tourney. Tho
lowest scores up to present tourney, when
Evans made his rocord 286, wero those In
1909 nnd 1914, when 290 was tho best card
turned In for tho 72 holes.
Sandy ItcNIbllck At various srolf tourna
ments around this placo I haro seon players drop
tho ball In all kinds of ways, and I would llko
to find out If they don't havo to drop It Just tho
way tho rules say. One fellow turned his
back on tho hole and dropped his ball and an
othor Bolter drops the ball over his head, and
I even saw a man lean down and roll the ball
off his back. A CADDY.
Philadelphia, Pn.
Each player himself must drop the ball,
facing the hole, standing orect. Ha must
drop tho ball behind hfm over his shouldor.
Tho penalty Is tho loss of tho holo In match
play or two strokes In medal rounds. It
doesn't matter If the ball touches the player
In dropping It, and If It rolls back Into tho
hazard he can rcdrop It without penalty.

"Cap" Huston Wants For
mer Mackman to Cover
Up for Gilhooley
By CHANDLEK D. RICHTER
When Manager Mack, of tho Athlotlca,
handed Bubo Oldrlng his unconditional re
lease ho took It for granted that the famous
outfielder was In reality throush with base
ball, but If a hurried trip from Washington
to Shlloh, N. J., this morning results as ex
pected tho former Mackman will bo In the
line-up of tho New York American League
team when It takes the field at Washington
tomorrow.
Part Owner and Vlco President "Cap"
Huston called Manager Mack on the long
distance phone from Washington yesterday
afternoon and asked tho Athletics' manager
If ho would bo willing to mako a trado for
Oldrlng. Maclt replied that ho could not
mako a trado for Oldrlng, because tho latter
had been given his unconditional release
and therefore was no longer tho property of
tho club.
Mack Impressed upon Huston that Old
ring had assured him that ho would not
consent to any trado, as he really desired
to retire from tho gamo and that the bril
liant outfielder was given his unconditional
release only because Mack felt certain that
thero was no chance for any other manager
or owner to Induce him to return to tho
gome.-
Huston nsked Mack If ho could havo tho
consent of tho Athletics to dicker with Old
ring, and was told to g6 as far as ho liked.
Mack says that his ono reason In giving
Huston consent to dicker with Oldrlng was
to assure tho fans that he had made no
attompt to dispose of Oldrlng's services on
tho market
If Mack desired to trade or sell Oldrlng,
ho could have mado a profitable deal, but
ho Insists that ho la through selling ball
players nnd thttt ho will glvo away any
player who Is not satisfied with conditions
at Shlbo Park. Had Mack desired ho could
havo got ln touch with Oldnng and made
a largo sum of money by selling him to
Now York, but tho local leader gavo Hus
ton full consent to dicker with Oldrlng- for
nothing.
Mack points out that Oldrlng Is a free

pgent nnd can do Just as ho pleases about
signing, nnd that the Athletic club will not
resent nny action ho might take. The
wizard manager believes that Oldrlng hao
sovcral years of good ball left In him It ho
puts his mind on tho game, forgetting farm
life, nnd would rnther sco tho brilliant
outfielder with another ".hart In retirement
beforo he has passed his prlmo.
It has been rumored about Phllly for sev
eral days that Oldrlng would bo seen In a
Phillies' uniform when the team returned
home, but tho big outfielder declares that
ho did not dicker with tho Thlls nnd does
not Intend to, as ho Is perfectly contented
on his farm.
According to tho rumor, which cornea
from nn authentic source, "Chief" Bender,
Oldrlng's old roommate and pal, hntl talked
tho matter over with him upon lenrnlng that
ho was n freo agent, nnd that the outfielder
was given until tho National League cham
pions returned homo to mako up his mind.
While Oldrlng really desired to retire. It
is believed that ho would welcome a chance
to play with a winning team and that his
retirement was hastened because of tho
poor showing of the Mackmon this season.
Manager Donovan and "Cap" Huston dis
cussed tho advisability of signing Oldrlng
while tho Yankees were ln this city, but as
the team was going along In good shape and
Malsel was expected back In tho game soon,
It was decided to let tho matter drop. When
tho Yankees played an exhibition gamo In

Baltimore on Sundny Donovnn learned that
Malsel will not bo nblo to play again this
Reason, as his broken collar-bone was not
set properly and had to bo broken over
again.
To mako matters worse for the Yankees,
Frank Oilhooley, who has been playing bril
liant ball throughout the season, broke his
right leg sliding Into third baso In the 11th
Inning of Mondays gamo In Washington
nnd will be out or tho game for at least
six weeks. This makes It Imperative that a
star outfielder be got at once and Huston
loft Washington this morning to try to bo
euro Oldrlng's signature to a contract.
