HB curtain went up with a large-slzed

Act II Is belntrfput on today at the Bala
Golf Club with even more gusto.

claimed tho Bala tourney ono of the best on
the whole 1st of events In the city. One
look nt tho throng- Rnthorcd on tho lawn
nnd on tho vcrnndn of tho clubhouse veri
fied the oft-rcpeatcd Joy-cry, 'This Ib great
I'm i;lad I came."
This Is tho fourth annual tourney of the
Bala Golf Club and Is tho omclnt curtaln
rnlser on the fall golt schedule. Goiters
word mighty glad to get back In the har
ness ngaln, and whacked tho pill with the
abandon seemingly that comes only after
tho enforced rest which occurs on tho best
of schedules when tho heat waves be
como somewhat too billowy.
World's Record
The sood citizens of tho United States,
with patriotism for tho land of their birth
surging ln their breasts, havo hung up a
number of records against which the popu
lation of tho world has striven In aln,
nnd thcro are no doubt many other clttrens
of this free land of ours that could knock
tho Bpots out of a record hung up yester
day, but noer In tho world's history has
It been recorded that n man has tried to
carry a distance of HO yards 20 times and
failed each time.
But that Is Just what "Bill" Fries did
yesterday at Bala on tho eighth holo. This
Is ono of the variety of holes that abso
lutely demand a certain amount of carry
on tho drive. Tho ball, from the tee, either
gets a fine rldo or clso a good bath There
Is no alternative. There Is a lake right
at tho foot of tho tea nnd tho golfer does
hl) wnggllng with the water lapping at
his toes.
Bill Frlc-5 admits that he felt no un
usual Bymptoms when ho teed up his ball
thcro yesterday for the first time. Ho
smiled at tho water and It laughed right
back.
All w)n3 friendly.
Then ho drovo. Tho ball Bklddcd once,
threw up Its hands nnd sank without bo
much as a bubble.
And Then Another
Ho was annoyed but not nonplused. Ho
drovo five more. That wns nil he had, nnd
Joe, who pnddles nbout serenely In tho
mlddlo of tho lake as tho life guard,
rescued Frles's family of balls and brought
them In, a dripping handful of wasted en
deavor. Fries teed up ngaln. He eyed tho ball
solemnly. It seemed to snicker. Fries
whacked It with nil his strength. It,
buzzed, skidded, dove nnd sank. Ho put'
his whole floclc In tho same place. Then
ho began to borrow from golfers coming
along. Ho reasoned .with the balls. Ho
resorted to strategy. He tried to skip
them across. Ho tried the short cuts. Ha
applied bruto strength. Ho tried a slow
swing. Ha tried a fa.it cut. He tried a.
spltter, a slow ball, an out-shoot, an In
shoot and lobs.
But each ono laughed hnpplly and flopped
to the bottom of the bottomless take. At
the count of 20 Fries pnuscd for a rest.
Ho sent for sandwiches nnd refreshments.
"I will stay hero If It takes all summer
to ford the lake" sighed Fries, ofnd a tear
seemed to mix with sand he set up for his
next shot When he had sent 26 balls
a-bontlng and had not yet crossed the pond,
ho finally consented to "lay off."

"This Is not my day," he admitted.
The only girl caddy In the United States,
so far as could be gleaned from records
nnd questioning, appeared at Bala yester
day, when pretty little Miss Helen Meehan
caddlcd for her dad, J. Franklin Mochan,
North Hills.
"It's great fun," she said, "and I'm going
to do It every chance I get after this."
Sho took charge of tho pin and handed
out tho' clubs with a truly expert nlr. She
Is only' 11 ynrs old and Is something of

A line on the hospitality of tho Bala club
may be had from tho fact that a lunch waa
served to the 140 golfers nil day.
"Charlie" Corr sat around patiently most
of tho day watting for Director of Public
Safoty Wilson to appear. He wns paired
with tho hard-working public servant.
"It this keeps up much longer," said
Corr. "I'll hao to get a miner's lamp to
soo tho ball by the tlmo I am IVnlBhlng. I
can seo better at night, anyhow." Ho was
somewhat annoyed at his caddy for Insist
ing on Inserting a putter In his bag.
"What do I want with that thing?" ho
asked. "I might be able to putt lfI had
an applo pie for a ball, but don't ask mo
to hole out a golf ball."

John C. McAvoy. preslderft of the club,
vvas so busy starting off trie players and
attending to tho details that ho had an
awful time finding n chanco to start him
self. "When ho finally did go off, he sclaftcd
his ball Jumplngly to the foot of tho tee.
Ho gnvo the gatherlnga ljlaclc frown when
thoy would have mado merry.
But at tho flnlah of hla round ho batted
a short pitch out of tho bunker right up
to tho pin, and after ho had bowed to tho
first handclap, bo bent his hend In gratitude
at the storm of applause that saluted the
sinking of a nobto putt.
Wo entered the tourney paired with the
tennis editor of the "first thing nt night

nt tho first hole and went out In earnest
after our opponent.
Wo had him five down at the turn and

Wo learn that nt the meeting of the

after more than an hour of lobbying ln an
effort to swing votes to his way of think

Wood, and decided not to further protest
the name of tho club. Ho feels for tho
name "Philadelphia dolt Club" and
threatens to secede If It Is not finally
adopted. Cobb's Creek Golf Club will bo
the name, It waa decided, till tho storm
blows over. All Is amicable again.
But Arthur Edgecomb Ilendlo Is Btlll

PLAN INTERCITY
TENNIS CONFLICT
FOR THE JUNIORS
Annual New York-Philadelphia
Series Proposed by
Well-Known Players
WHY NOT SENIOR MATCH?
l'lnna for a series of Intercity tennis
matches, between teams of Junior players
from this city nnd New Yorlt, arc being
discussed by n group of men Interested In
tho development of futuro stars In both
cities.
It Is proposed to play two matches each
year, one shortly after tho schools close for
the summer vacation nnd another before
they open In thn fall, one match here and
the other at New Yorlt Kncli match would
consist of ten singles and flvo doubles.
Such n match would proo to be a giant
strldo In the development of Junior tennis
plajors. Both In New York nnd Philadel
phia there Is a wealth of material, which
needs only encouragement nnd assistance
from experienced men to produce real stars
In a few years.
VV. T. Tllden, 2d, Is tho sponser of the
plan In Philadelphia and the veteran F. B.
Alexander Is the leading figure In the
Junior movement ln Now York.
Seniors Strong
Another match, whllo not so lmportnnt ah
the Junior conflict, as fnr nB tho futuro Is
ronccrned, but which would boost tho game
tremenduously ln both cities, Is an Inter
city senior match.
If Philadelphia, could obtain tho services
of nil tho well-known players who call this
city home, what a team It could present?
"Williams, Harto, Canor, Johnson, Armstrong,
Tllden, Alec Thayer, Blddlo, Bvnns, Penrson.
Wlstcr, Hawke nnd others would mnko up
an nll-lar aggregation ablo to hold Its
own. with almost nny other sectional com
bination In the land, savo. perhaps, the
Pacinc CoaBt, and oven ngnlnst the Cnll
fornlans this team would mnko n, great
showing.
Ono of tho finest exhibition- of sheer grit,
nervo and fight was that displayed by
young Carl Fischer In tho semifinal of tho
Stato junior championship at Cynwyd yes
terday Ho was beaten In three faBt sots
by Herman F. Dornholm. his doubles
partner, but the loser Is entitled to jUBt na
much credit as tho victor,
Fischer n Fighter
Dornholm h two years older than Fischer,
nnd two years, when boys nro 14 and 10,
Is Infinitely moro than two years nftor tho
ngo of 20 Is reached. Dornhclm Is almost
a head taller ln height.
From tho outset It looked llko a run nway
match for Dornhelm, for ln tho first set he
held Fischer to purely dcrenslvo tactics.
But the Cynwyd joungstcr never wavered,
nnd coming back full of fight he soon re
versed tho situation, nnd with a dashing
ne,t attack he carried off tho second set.
Tho third set was touch nnd go nit the
way, nnd twice Fischer, remarkably cool
nnd resourceful, pulled out of critical holes.
Dornhelm had tho endurance to outlast his
opponent and nt 5all he took two games In
succession and with them tho set and
match.
