IN OLD Chinese feller with white lugfter
A mustache lengths pulling down his face
dolefully and with a golf has laid athwart
the part of his lap not taken up by a vol
uminous paunch. Is Rolemn proof that tho
game of golf existed more than 600 years
SThere Is a picture of this Oriental golfer
fcrouitht to this country by a former Min
uter to China. He recently presented It
the Chicago Golf Club, where It now
"ngs. The picture Is moro than 500
''Records' of golf first began to appear
In the history of the Scots long before
rvilumbus was sailing the blustering sens,
America ahoy. But tho picture of the Chi
Mie gentleman would seem to provo that
rnlf goes back of that by somo years.
Tho picture would Indicate that golf
ivies have changed. His golfshlp wears a
skull or chef's cap on his head and Is
wound In a llowery kimono.
Dure of Calf .,
It was tho custom to tuck tho flowing
robes up Into the glrdlo and to skip Into
the rough after tho slices minus tho heavy
woollen stockings of tho present age.
Those Inspecting tho picture mny bo
lnoklnc on a former champion of tho How
irv kingdom. Spots on his bosom Becm
to be either medals, or panBles, or per
haps his chop sticks slipped. One of the
clubs In his bac resembles tho bcottlsh
.peon, popular n century ago. It Is a long
faced wooden club.
It was no doubt a treat In the old days
to sco the ancient Oriental playing the
bunkers and lunging plnward.
. One of tho season's most popular" young
rolf fanatics expects to open tho eyes of
gome of his friends shortly when ho np
otars In tho creation of ono of his fair
friends It Is to bo a hand-knitted sweater
of the looro-llnk variety. Daniel Swab
Whltoman, tho receiver, wns rather cautious
bout the matter and wanted an expert
opinion on tho subject. ...,
"Any of tho golfers wear 'cm?" ho wanted
to know.
"Quite some," he was told.
"Then I'll look like a golfer, anyhow,"
opined the boy fanatic.
Hoffncr Looks Good
Several phono calls to this odlce broke
the peace and quiet of our llttlo parlor
yesterday. Various pros wished to know
the dato of tho Philadelphia opon, after It
had been stated in these columns that the
dato had been changed. Nothing new on
the matter has developed today, tho only
definite Information being that tho tourney
will not bo hold next week, as originally
scheduled,
The feat of Charles Hoftnor, riillmont's
young wizard, In hanging up n C8 over this
difficult course, makes him look llko ono
of the best bets In tho local open, which will
be held on that course.
Jim Barnes will bo tho main figure, how
ever, Blnco he wilt bo able to play, now
that tho local opon does not conflict with
the western. Ho was determined to win
back the laurels ho lost In that big event
last year, and can now do so unimpeded.

Sandy McNIbllck I want to toll you how

stand on the Cobb's Creek Golf Club has
pleased mo particularly. Your plcturo of
II. Wellington Wood and Arthur I'dgecomb

superb, I take It that you feel that a
club at tho municipal courso would go very
well It It woro properly organized. Aren't
these your sentiments? With best regards,
A DAILY ItKADtiR.
Philadelphia. Pa.
Those are our sentiments. First notlco of
tho proposed club appeared In this column.
Tho news was obtained from II. Wellington
Wood, later elected president, nnd the edi
torial part wns also gleaned from Wood
between snatches of talcs on high silk hats
that had been stolen from him nt prnyer
meetings and other things. All tho material
obtained has been from 'the "big bluebor
rles" of the new ctub. Tho first organiza
tion meeting of tho Cobb's Creek Coif Hub,
according to many present, was Irrespon
sible and Indefinite. Tho club reminds us
of the feller that was three times snatched
from the electric chair, his head shaved
each time, "his death suit donned and his
farewells said.
Sandy McNIbllck Two of us had a dis

McNamara In every tournament last year.

Johnny Kllbane mny be tnk.lnR his acorB

not pass up any matches between now and the
title-defending date. The featherweight king
has agreed to meet IMdla Morgan In New York
AUKUst 17. They boxed hero twice nnd each
contest v,us a hummer.
Young Julio, the Spanish-Indian bantam who
started his career with a knockout and whose
future looks brluht. will remain on tho aid
lines until his father's consent Is received from

he showed sufficient form to develop Into a star.
Iloxers who are n few pounds over tho feather

petition sh-iuld hae a merry muss here this
season. With such men as Frankle White. Aha

In good shape, local fans may expect some rat

MATTY MAKES BIG
LEAGUE DEBUT AS
PILOT HERE TODAY
Veteran Twirler of Giants
Opens Five-Game Series
With Phils
HANDLES PITCHERS WELL
By CHANDLER D. RICIITER
Christy Mnthewson, for 16 years one of
the greatest pitchers In baseball, will mako
his local debut as a major league manager
this afternoon, when tho Phillies and lleds
open p. llve-gnme series. It Is likely that
n largo crowd will turn out to welcomo
Mathcwson. despite tho fact that tho lleds
appear to be playing poorer ball than at
any tlmo this season. Matty always has
been a local Idol, even though nothing
pleased the fans moro than to see him
driven from tho mound when he was hurl
ing for the aiants, nnd ho will be given a
wnrm welcome.
Matty probably now realizes better than
any one else what nn enormous task It is
to make the lleds win games. Tho famous
liurlcr Is starting Just as Herzog did
and Is trying to get work out of his team
males by kindness, but no doubt he will
noon rcnllzo that the only way ho can hope
for success In Cincinnati Is to clean houso
nnd build from the ground up.
Tho lleds ns they nre lined up nt the pres
ent tlmo nro a powerful combination on
paper, tho tenm being particularly strong
In pitchers, If they nre handled properly,
but the lack of harmony and tho general
lack of spirit among tho players make re
building neccoinry.
Matty hns been handling tho pitching
staff better than Herzog did, nnd the hurl
ers nlready aro showing the benefit of his
coaching, but ns Ornnt IUce would say,
"Thchellofltlstheynlntw Inning." When Mnt
ty took the team the lleds had won 38 nnd
lost 61 games. Today they havo 39 vic
tories and 65 defeats, which shows that
tho team Is going bncl? Instead of Improv
ing. LoaitiB Steadily
Out of tho 14 gnmes played under
Mnthewson tho lleds havo won only three,
though several extra Inning defents, In
which the breaks were against tho Itcds, nro
included In this list.
Matty admits that he cannot ' under
stand tho failure of tho Herts to win, but
claims that he Is well satisfied with the
progress made. Tho veteran hurlor was
wlso enough to Insist upon a thrco-ycar
contract, and ho can well nfford to experi
ment for the bnlanco of tho ncnaon. Next
spring he probably will start rebuilding,
and until the 1917 season is half over
Matty's ability as n manager should not
bo Judged by looking nt the percentage
column.
Slumping tenms have a habit of coming to
llfo Just when tho Phillies nro looking for
nn easy scries, and Manager Mornn has
warned his men that thoy must play bet
ter ball than they did against St. Louis
If they hope to tako the series.
Flvo games will bo played With tho Iteds
In four days, and the Phils must win four
or the series will not be a success. Brook
lyn took flvo out of six from the Itcds,
while tho Braves won six out of seven, In
cluding threo shutouts. As the Phllly
pitchers havo been showing splendid form
nnd tho Itcds nre In a batting slump, the
champions havo a great chance to gain on
tho Dodgers. V
Althougjt tha Reds are at tho bottom of
the ladder In the'Natlonal League, the pres
ent series will be a most Important one for
tHe Phils. Brooklyn Is cortnln to have
trouble with tho Cubs, Judging by the way
Tinker's pitchers nre performing, nnd It
behooves tho Phils to make hay whllo the
sun shines.
Rixey or Bender
Moran will send cither Ttlxey or Bender
to tho mound In the opening game and both
havo proved troublesome to tho Rcdlanders
this season. Big Peto Schneider Is duo to
appear In tho deceiving role for Matty nnd
in the event that the big fellow does not
warm up well, Knetzer, last year with the
Feds, probably will get tho call.
Bingles and Bungles
"la Hal Chase or Jake Daubert th" better first
baseman?" asks a noncombatant. Chase Is the
first basing genius of the age. Hut we'd be con
tent tn have Daubert play for us and let It so
at that.
The White Sox drow first blood In the open
ing km nt an Important series with the lied
Sox yesterday" and handily trimmed the Boston
contingent.
Two former Philadelphia representatives
played Important parts In the triumphs of their
respective teams. It was Oldrlng's single that
eaa tho Yanks a 3-to-'-' win over Cleveland,
and It was a triple, with the bases full, by
Hans Lnbert. nrting ns n nln'-h hitter, that
enabled the Giants to trim Chicago. 3 to 3.
Sister's timely double wss responsible for
another Browns' victory, this time at the ex
pense of Washington, in the tenth Inning. And
tho safe drive wus made off Walter Johnson.
In the' four-game series against the Cubs
the Giants collected only 13 hits, but managed
to take three out of the quartet.
The Braves sure made the most out of their
hits In tho double-heuder against the Beds.
Kvery hit meant a run In tha first skirmish
they defeated Toney with two hits. 2 to 0. and
In the finals won by U to 0, reglsterlns only
a half doxen safeties.
Jimmy Austin, of the Browns, and Catcher
Thomas, of the Bed Sox, were handed an In
definite suspension by Ban Johnaon" for their
free-for-all staged on Sunday in St. Louis.
The National League will hold a meeting tn
New York tomorrow far the purpose of taking
steps to curb umpire baiting.
