Golf the Only Real Rival to Baseball
QJOME one who likes to Juggle figures has It doped out that there arc 11,000 golf
courses in this country. That chap Is certainly an optimist ot the first water.
There Is a golf publication In New York and In tho recent Issue It states there aro
1600 courses listed and that Is much nearer the mark. If It were possible to make an
actual count the total would probably be somewhere around 4000. Taking this last
number as a conservative estimate and allowing for both tho nine and eighteen
holes courses, It Is very probable that the average ground Is somewhere about
&ix ; tehty acres to each course, as tho nlne-holo courses have an average acreage of

SHAWNEE DECIDES TO GIVE MONEY
IN THE OPEN TOURNEY WHICH
WILL BE HELD AUGUST 8 AND 9
Follows Action Taken by the Golf Association of
Philadelphia Local Golfers to Give
War Ambulances
THn Shawnee Country Club Ins follow oil
the suit of the Oolf A-)oelatlon of I'hlU
delphla, and In Its next big tournament
tho legular list of prizes will be given The
e.cnt will be tho nnnual open tournament,
and the prize money, J023, will attract all
the big golfora In the country. If there had
been a real open championship of the coun
try Instead of the patriotic open event, the
amount of the prizes would h.ic ngRrt gated
J 11 00, ro the Shawnee evsnt Is not fai be
hind the n itloml open In generosity. This
ear tho e.ent will be held on Aui;ut 8 ttnd
0, which, curiously enough, Is the wmo d.itu
as last ear. ,
List enr the eent was won by Walter
Hagon, a former national open champion,
and Bob McDonald was second, Jim Barnes
third. Kmmett Ficnch fourth and Gil Nich
ols fifth. Possibly next to the open cham
pionship of the United States Golf Associa
tion it Is the most prominent golf tourna
ment In tho country In which the profes
slonils play Amateurs, as u rule, cut lit
tle or ro flsure In the open events other
than the national, In which they hao fin
ished number one In four ears, so It Is
safe to say that very few of tho amateurs
will enter the Shawnee event.
Thc Famous Tournament of 1913
Shawneo Is famous for the open tourna
ment held there In 1913, when the greatest
Meld that ever placd In an open event, ex
cept the open championship that name year
at Brookllne, competed Notable among the
entries were Edward Hay, one of the longest
drivers In the world; Harry Vardon, rW
times the open champion of Great Britain,
and Wilfred Held, now tho professional nt
Wilmington Haj and Vardon had Just ended
a triumphant tour or the country and In a
possible hundred rratches had not lost a
single match. Hut Jack McDermott, the
then champion, surprised every ono by win
ning tho tournament by as brilliant a dis
play of golf as has ever been shown In
this country.
Tho prize money will be divided In this
way: First, $250, a gold medal and his name
on tho cup; second. 5150 and a silver mcdil;
third, $75; fourth, $50; fifth, $30; sixth,
$20; seventh, 15; eighth, $10 In addition
there will bo a $25 prize for the beht
elghteen-hole score made during the tourna
ment. C C. Worthlngton, president of the club.
has some Interesting comment on the tour
nament, which follows- "You hee, wo are
putting the money entirely In the hands
of the professionals, which Is where It be
longs My view Is that they long ago, as
a body of men, fchowed that It Is perfectly
safe to rely upon their doing theli duty
ro far ns conti Uniting to war relief work
Is concerned without Instructions or In
ducement from any outsiders If anv one of
them can afford to contribute to the war
relief, r believe he will do bo without any
check or resolution on tho part of commit
tees and where ho cannot afford It ho cer
tainly Is entitled to keep what money ho
can earn In the line of his profession "
Judging from tho fine scoring of the ama
teurs In tho recent amateur tournament nt
Shawneo, the pros will do home very flno
shooting, but thero will be this difference:
tho back tees will be ued on every hole, and
It Is remarkable tho change In the approach
when tho tecs are twenty to thirty ards
back of the regular disks
After all, there Is nothing quits so fine to
look at as a bunch of hard-hitting profes
sional golfers Nearly every ore of them
has splendid nnd graceful form, and they
tlmo their shots ro well that they seem to
be pressing nil the "time Then another
feature In the play of thc pro3 Is that
rarely If ever will ou find any of them
playing Blowly. One of the punishments of
slow players would be watching the aver
age professional playing a shot.
National Tourney in October
The women will hold their national cham
pionship nt Shawneo from October 1 to 6
Some time before that tlmo members of tho
executive committee of tho United States
Golf Association will islt tho Shawnee
course, to determine the length of the holes
and other things In connection with the
tournament Except In very fow cases,
notably tho drive on tho second, the tame
tecs will bo used, with the dltorenee that
th forward end of each tee will bo used
The Golf Association Is thinking seriously
of giving tevoral ambulances with the
money they have collected thus far from the
golfers of this city. Jt Is believed that
before the Rcifcon Is over enough money
will have been collected to buy two
or more ambulances. The United States
Lawn Tennis Association Is collecting
$100,000 for the same cause, but tho local
golf association Is going Into the ambulance
business on a much smaller basis.

By GRANTLAND RICE
NlaW YORK, July 26
The brilliant lctory of Jerry Travers
over (111 Nlcholls was ono of the leading
features of jesterday's play nt Baltusrol In
tho big International match Tiavers, play
ing In old-tlmo form, upset tho brilliant
Nlcholls 3 nnd 2, finally finishing 3 up on
the langllsh pro.
This contest was only ono of many
features, however On tho day's count the
Scots and Homebrcds each won six battles
at Individual play, while tho English led
tho Amatcur3 by seven matches to four,
with ono drawn fight.
In tho forenoon foursomes tho Homc
breds led the Scots five matches to one,
whllo the English team predominated over
thc Amateurs by tho same 5-1 margin.
So, on tho clay's count by matches, thc
rcoro stands ns follows'
English Twelve -victories.
Homcbreds Eleven victories.
Scots Seven victories.
Amateurs Five victories.
BOBBY JON'ES DOES WELL,
The lono amateur to figure In two vic
tories In the day's play was Bobby Jones,
of Atlanta. In the forenoon, paired with
Norman Maxwell, the brilliant young
Phllidelphlan, the two youngsters beat
Georgo Sargent and Herbert Strong 1 up.
They were 2 down and 4 to play, but by a
brilliant rally won three of tho last four
holes, getting a 3 at the long fifteenth.
Jim Barnes, the Whltemarsh pro, de
feated Oswald Klrkby by threo holes, two
costly stymies barring Kirkby's way at
vital points of the match. Both wero play
ing well
Another feature match was tho meeting
between Jock Hutchinson and Walter
Hagen Hagen was plajlng well enough,
but Hutchinson had the star round of thc
day with a 70, unbeatable golf over the
hard Baltusrol course.

INTEREST IN AMERICAN LEAGUE
RACE NOW. CENTERED IN WORK
' OF THE RED AND THE WHITE SOX
Red Sox Are Back Home for Extended Stay While -
Rivals Are riaymg on nusuie
Fields for a While
THE Ited Sox aro now back for an ex
... .. 111. Il l aaua In fll flta
jl tended noma stay, wun ineir iiuim
viz, tho Whlto Sox, out upon tho hostile
ledge, far from tho friendly squawk of the
rooter.
As this White Sox-ncd Sox Jubilee In by
all odds the most Interesting feature of the
1017 campaign almost tho only Interesting
feature left, so far ns pennants are con
cerned their dash Into tho steamy depths
of August will bo watched closely.
Tho Whlto Sox como East lending tho
league nnd plnylng better ball than they
have shown for many cnrs. They have ot
last proved their ability to stand up nnd
swap punches with their Hod-hosed rivals,
and this means more than a mcro trifle.
Stuff to Be Watched
There aro now these details to watch, In
order. First of nil, It must bo remembered
that for tho laRt two campaigns the Hed
Sox have played tholr best ball the last two
months of tho race.
They made their pennant drive In 191S
after August 1. They made their pennant
drive last jear after September 1.
On both occasions they settled dow n to
a steady, aggressive march and went ham
mering safely on through.
They are now starting th'elr second cam
paign nt home against tho west. It wns on
this campaign In 1915 that they scrambled
safely to the front If thoy get n fair lead
this home stay they will hardly bo beaten
again, as they finish at home through Sep
tember, with their main rivals out upon un
friendly fields.
The Western Charge
The White Sox firmly believe they have
shaken loose their old lethargy. They ex
pect to hold their own this trip, with Collins
nnd Jackson hitting the ball harder than
before, nnd then, back home again around
thc middle of August, to cut their way to a
winning lead.
They are apparently In a much better
mental frame than they wero In 1915 or
191G nt this date
They believe they have tho pitching and
the punch to get there nnd a greatly Im
proved team morale to help carry things
along.
They contend that only ono game upset
their calculations last year, and that tho

team is a goou many games Deuer this get.
son than It has over been before.
Thero Is so llttlo to pick between then
two clubs that tho dopo is inclined to rest
a bit nnd watch developments.
It la hard to forget tho aggressive. .
fldent playing of tho Hed Sox through'
uiu nutiui tatna anu 0hi1-11.11 in now only a
few laps on beyond. If tho "White Sox
could open up a hcnlthy, gap the general
outlook will bo fnr different, for the Whif
Sox, once well ahead, aro likely to play V
nhnvvn for a lone BDell. i
On form, the two clubs should move neck
and neck Into tho final edges of the stretch.
Wo can't rco where ono club has any
advantage over tho other In playing
Ftrength. Tho draft might make a big dif
ference nnd Increase the complexity of
things by a good many degrees.
For by Next Year
Baseball's thrill or thrills might as well
bo soaked up this season. For by next
season no ono can figure how heavily the
draft will cut Into tho star material all
around.
Just at present Germany poems to hava
as much Intention of quitting as tho Giants
have of dropping back into the second
division And It the war la still undeB
way by next sprng thero will doubtless bo
a mottled array headed for the training
camps of balldom, with a good many of fha
s-elect In khaki headed for training campj
of a slightly different aspect.
The Present Kinjr.
One of tho leading experts connected with
the Miminer pastime rails our attention to
the play of Heinle Zimmerman In listing
third basemen Tho Kmlncnt Zlm has drawn
his f-hare of ups and downs, but at present
ho Is undoubtedly plnylng the greatest
game at third shown In either league.
Not even tho Immortal Collins or tha
equally Immortal I'rndloy at their best had
nn thing upon tho Bronx Flrelly as he Is
now moving along. Heinle Is no beardless
jouth Ho was ono of Frank Chance'a
collection back In tho old Jays of Cub
greatness Hut Heinle has never plajed
the ball before that ha has played this sea
son. Ho has been at top bpced, executing
every variety of play known with wonder
ful case and dash. On his form shown so
far he Is beyond any debato the most
brilliant third baseman of tho year.

It has sometimes been said that the
scrappy, pugnacious ball player or manager
Is the most popular with the fans because
they love a fighter. The facts do not sub
stantiate this statement. It Is true that
the fans do not like a quitter. No one does.
But a ball plajer doei not have to be a
"pug." continually toting a chip on his
shoulder and ever ready for a fist fight to
avoid being called a quitter.
Tho gamest player it not nlways tho
fighter: In fact, It frequently Is found that
the fighter Is a fighter only on the surface,
and that ho Is not nearly so game at heart
as tho more quiet and less assuming player.
Of types there aro plenty of each variety
In each league.
There are stars who are pointed to for
tholr aggresslv enes-j, and there are stars
who are referred to as calm, close-mouthed
players men who, are put off tho flejd so
seldom tho fans can't remember the happenings.
Of the belligerent type John J. McGraw,
Charley Herzog. Arthur Fletcher, Johnny
Evers, Heinle Zimmerman. Ty Cobb, Fred
Tyler, Miguel Gonzales and Rabbit Maran
llle are the most prominent.
On the other hand there are Eddie Col
lins, Jack Barry, Joe Jackson, Roger Pcck
Inpaugh, tVally Plpp, Lee Mngee, Walter
Johnson, Grover Alexander, Frank Baker
and half a dozen other real, high-class
players from whom a real, live kick In
nrgry tones never was heard. And these
men are Just aa popular as tho ones listed
unde,r the heading of belligerents.
The Braves, when they wero driving well
and sticking around the top of National
League standings, constituted one of tho
greatest drawing cards tho game ever has
seen. Every man on the club was a fighter.
The club won Its games by fighting. Bull
dozing was one of Its greatest assets, and
the players made It go over.
Then there were the Athletics men who
rarely uttered a protest. They merely
played baseball and were recognized as tho
greatest machine baseball ever has seen In
action. They drew powerfully In every
American League city.
The main difference seems to bo the quiet
kind of a ballplayer draws his check In
tact, whllo the scrapper suffers the setback
of fines.
Guard Against Cold in
Water Suggested by Ca-
ville, Record Holder
MAKES GREASE RECIPE
JUNGALEERS EASY FOR
WHITE SOX THIS YEAR
The Detroit Tigers are as easy for tho
Chicago Whlto Sox this year as tho White
Sox were for the Tigers In years gone by.
Tho old order of things has reversed. Of
threo series played between the two teams
this season, the Detroit club has not won
one. The Sox have been winning from the
Tigers In much tho same way that the
Tigers formerly won from the Sox, by get
ting all the breaks. No matter how Chi
cago used to try and how well It played
some misfortune always came up some
thing always developed that would turn
defeat to Chicago's side. This year tho
Tigers simply cannot get a break when
opposing Rowland's outfit.
Every year attempts aro made to shatten
long-dlstanco swimming records, and as a
result many sovere colds are cauht which
many of tho leading distance rwlmmers
assert can bo avoided If those who take
these long Mvlms would grease their bodies
before entering the water. Sometimes
theso colds are neglected too long and loss
of life Is the result. I
Sydney Cavlllo, Inventor of tho cra'wl
stroke, holder of many world's records at
one time, and the man who taught tho far
famed Annette Kellermann how to swim,
asserts that no one who is to battle against
the great H20 can afford to neglect th
assistance of a good preparation.
The preparation which Cavlllo, uses when
ho takes a journey In tho water Is the samo
ono that was used by bis father, Frederick
Cavllle, when he swam the English channel,
the second one to swim across that body of
water.
Frederick Cavllle. the father of seven
boys, who, beyond all doubt, constitute tho
greatest swlmmlqg family that ever plowed
through the waves, handed the recipe down
to his boys, and they have used It ever
since. When Arthur Cavllle lost his life
from tho cold In his attempt to cross the
Elliot Bay, at Seattle, he had neglected to
rub his body with the family recipe.
Sydney advises tho use ot a mixture of
capsicum, vaseline and lanoclne, liberally
spread all over the body, with the exception
of the hands, which should be quite free
from grease of any kind.
Tho capsicum stimulates warmth nnd IM
lanollne resists the cold. A swimmer per
spires freely In the water, and for a short
race this Is enough to resist the action, but
after a time the skin grows "goosey" and.
withered.
Sydney Cavlllo used this preparation
when he made tho pioneer circuit of the
Seat Rocks In 1898. His brother Charles
used tho same grease when ho swam the
Golden Gate Strait.

MILLINGTON MARVEL IS
PICKED UP BY TIGERS
Auditors Win Game
Auditors Miscellaneous Accounts and
TO
There Is a young hurler pitching up In
MUUngton, Mich, who fanned twenty-six
batters In a game against Caro a few days
ago. Now be is headed for tho Detroit
Tigers., Fanning twenty-six batters looks
llko a good record on paper, but It proves
nothing when ono tries to flguro out what
this "phenom" will do In the majors. Tho
MUUngton marvel would probably have a
tough time fanning one-tenth of that num
ber In a good minor league. Pitching
against players of a rural district, It Is
easy to score strikeouts, as these boys go
after every ball, Intending to hit. They
seldom, If ever, wait them out What
strikeouts amount to was demonstrated In
the no-hlt game Ernie Shore pitched
against Washington recently. Not a titan
reached first on Ernie, still he fanned but
two men In nine Innings.
