I BAN D. JOHNSON, president of the. American LcnRUC favors ft game of ball botwecn tho old Athletic ball club team and the Now York Giant", but owing to tho feeling in New York toward Sunday baseball fears that it will not mpw ble to arrange tho game. Ho puts tho question In n nutshell by stating tnai it Mayor Mttchcl will not oppose tho game everything will bo well. Harry N. Hempstead, president of tho Ohmta. is also in iavor ui u.o ....... but is afraid that Sunday ball will not bo permitted in .now lor. "w tamo in this city, but that Is Is almost impossible. So tho affair seems to bo up to Mayor Mltchcl. Tenor, Johnson. Mack and Hempstead arc all In favor or the of New York towuru sunuay ' jrame. but their liands arc tied because of tho attitude 'ports. The object of tho gomo Is to play for tho benefit of tho Ited Cross, and It was Originally suggested by the Evemno LEnoi:n. the Idea being to get together tho , two famous teams. That it would attract a tremendous crowd there Is no doubt, f ror thousands would like to see that famous $100,000 Infield of tho Athletics onco tnoro. The letters of Messrs. Johnson and Hempstead follow: Robert W. Maxwell, Sports Editor Evening Ledger, Philadelphia, Pa.: Dear Mr. Maxwell My long absenco In the Hast delayed my replying to your letter of August 8 at an earlier date. I did not return to my Chicago olllco until yesterday morning. A came such as you ddscrlbo would certainly bo a very nttrnctlvo feature '( and possibly would result in a largo sum of money bring collected for Ited . Cross purposes. I doubt very much if this nrrangement can bo put through. ' Wo had difficulty In arranging our Sunday gamo In New York and would hardly care to stago nnothcr experiment. If an expression can be secured from Mayor Mltchcl that ho will not opposo tho proposition then we ran nil lay our shouldersuto tho wheel. With kind regards, I remain, sincerely yours. n. D. JOHNSON. Rolert 11. ilaxwclt, Sports Editor Evening Ledger, Philadelphia, Pa.: My" dear Sir I am back again In New York, and if there Is anything In ft ' Sunday exhibition gamo for tho benefit of tho lied Cross or other war charity would bo glad to have suggestions from you or your Now York representative. I rather question whether baseball will bo permitted on Sunday this year In New York. Could a gamo bo played In Philadelphia iiiKtcad of hcre7 I am yours very, truly, II. N. HEMI'STEAD. ' "DOTH tho Brooklyn and New York teams havo been trying for somo tlmo - to play Sunday ball In New York for charity, but the officials refuse to permit Sabbath games. It Is to be Imped that an exception may bo made In I this case, as thero Is every certainty that thousands of dollars will be taken In at tho gate If such n contest Is allowed. Fred Fulton Is Next Heavyweight Champion Collins Says So TtniEN it comes to harboring thoughts of confidence In one's manly bosom wo I'' havo to hand It to Mlkel Collins, present mannger of the precarious plasterer. Mlkcl recently swiped 1'rcd Fulton from Frank Forco via tho courts and now Is traveling serenely onward with his plans all laid to plant Jess WUlnnl's crown on Fred Fulton's domo a trlflo above tho quarter-Inch forehead which separates tho yebrows from tho pompadour. Everything Is settled, In Mlkcl's mind, and It even Isn't necessary for Wlllard to fight for It. In fact. Collins would rather havo Jess sidestep tho match, so ho could capturo tho title without bloodshed. Oratory Is Mlkel's principal weapon and he uses It with tho ease of a Mexican expert. Of .course, thero is a. minor battle with Carl Morris In Canton on'J.abor Day, but that . cannot bo token Bcrlously. Fred Fulton will knock tho block off Morris and then Jess either will havo to talk turkey or lose prcsttgo as the main attraction In his Circus, 'iflltel says so himself. It's great to listen to tho blurbs exuded by a guy loaded to the brim with confi dence. Linger Just a moment whllo Collins tells why ho matched Fulton with Lang lord a couple of months ago: "I had Langford figured out long before I ngreed to eend Fulton against him." explains Mlkel. "I couldn't see anything but victory, and an easy ono at that, bo I consented to the match. In tho first place, I figured that Sam, who is forty-three years old, was duo to crack If stacked up against n good tough fellow who could hit. Also I had It doped out that n good stiff left Jabber could put Langford on tho blink for keeps. Naturally, having reasoned It out In this, way, it was no surprise to mo when Fulton stopped tho smoko In soven rounds. In fact, Fred could havo knocked lilntqiU ItJ'tho second had ho wanted to. Beforo the battlo we mapjied out a plan of battle that Fred was to pursue, and that didn't Include a knockout In tho second round. I always Insist that my Instructions be curried out nnd Fred did as ho was told." TVriKEL also hints that ho has everything arranged to flatten Morris on ' September 3 and is not worrying over tho outcome. His chief sourco of annoyance now is what Fred Fulton will do after ho wins tho champion ship and whether it would bo advisable or not to buy a circus or a side show. Here Is One Boxer Ready to Grab a Gun r? MUST bo admitted that tho top-notch boxere havo not fallen over themselves In an effort to help Uncle Sam, but in Justice to those who havo It can be said that tho sport has contributed many. Several of our local boxers quietly enlisted and others in tho draft have expressed a desire to get busy. From out Chicago Way comes a. yarn about John Nelson Schlff. John Nelson Is a lightweight boxer, and ho is too ugly to get Into tho United States navy. Ho also Is too ugly to get into the army. Ho tried to get into tho nrmy first and when tho navy rejected him tho other day his pride was really hurt and ho decided to tako the matter up to Secretary Daniels. After the army had rejected John ho got a letter from Joo Welling, the boxing cartoonist, who drew a plcturo of John, showing all tho flno points of his facial contour. This plcturo did not please John any too well, so he decided to get into tho navy and havo the laugh on Joe. So ho went to tho Great Lakes training sta tion and made hla application. Tho doctor looked John over and shook his head. Then he gave John a card which stated that ho was rejected because ho has impor ted speech; ho' has a deformed right arm; ho has a fractured nose; ho has a crooked ear. John" admitted all these little blemishes, but couldn't understand why they should bar him from tho war. Ho went to Lieutenant Roberts and gave him ft, talk. "Ejure, I know I stammer," said John to tho lieutenant, "but what of It?" "But if you were mado an officer," explained tho lieutenant, "you couldn't fnake the men understand you. Everything would go wrong while you wero try ing to get a command out of your system." . "No such thing," said John. "When I was in tho Canadian infantry I (couldn't talk as well as I do now and everybody understood me then." "But your right arm is crooked " "Sure; I know it's crooked. I broke It. But It's tho same old nrm 1'vo knocked 'em cuckoo with. My noso is broken, too, but I can fireathe. And my Cauliflower car doesn't cut nny figure. My heart's right and I want to fight." "Nothing doing," said tho lieutenant. I SO JOHN went away to frame a letter to Secretary Daniels intended to give that official somo new light on tho nonessentials of a fighting man. & First Trap Championship 33 Years Ago THIRTY-THREE years ago a number of shotgun enthusiasts met at Chicago to take part In tho first trapshooting tournament of which thero Is any record. The tltlo of tho shoot was the "First National Inanlmato Target Tourney," and It was won by the Exeter Gun Club, of Exeter, N. II. Tho tournament was conducted under the management of J. 13. Bloom, of tho Llgowsky Company. Tho clay pigeons manufactured by tho Llgowsky Company wero tho first to bo successfully thrown with blrdilko 'flight from a trap. These facts which have such great Importance as part of tho history of trap ahootlng in tho United States wero brought to light a few weeks ago at a rounlon of tho old Exeter Gun Club team. Tho veterans wero photographed at this re union after a period of thirty-three years. Chicago this year will again be the scene of the national target tournament as the Grand American handicap trapshooting tournament will take place over the fourteen traps of -the South Shoro Country Club, adjoining Jackson Tark opening today. ' TT DIDN'T take very long to complete the trapshooting tournament of thirty-three years ago. Ono trap and a handful of shooters turned out. It is quite different today, when it takes fourteen traps of tho most modern make to accommodate tho shooters nnd five days to complete the program. All big things, however, havo small beginnings. ' Connie Praises Cruise and Hornsby CONNIE MACK recently declared that Cruise and Hornsby, of tho Cardinals, were the finest looking young players in baseball. He predicted that Hornsby .erventualiy would attain tb some degree of excellonco voted Jack Barry. . 4 Hank Gowdu Will Stick in Cntrhlnn HANK QOWDY will stick to catching In the future.

I , tiut the eperts are beginning to rcallzo that In Pine Valley, In spite of only fourteen holes in play, we hae the most up-to-date bit of Rolf construction la the country Ilut when it comes to cliibhoucs no one will question you when ou state that the Se.ivlcw (Jolt Club, near Abecon, Is far and away superior to anything of Its kind In this or any other country All tho others fado Into insignificance. In comparison Few hotels are liner and It rontalns cerythlnR that tho best hotels In the country give their patrons, and In tomo things a great deal more. And tho course Ls rapidly becomlnp a splendid test of ,olf Two years age tho best of Amerlcnn golf-course constructors. Donald Hoss. ran down to Seavlcw for a woek. and when ho left a string of small posts dotted tho courbe. Theso marked the traps. Those who have not plned tho Se.nlew courso In two years would scarcely recognize It Hoss has done a splendid bit of bunkering, and ou must get your shots right If you expect to get results. Plenty of Trouble for Wild Player Krom the tee tn the green there Is trouble for the sliced nnd pulled ball, but for tho chap who goes straight all Is serene. It l.i as flno a bit of trapping and bun kering as ou will llnd on any course. Se.i Mew has nlwnjs been noted for Its won derful greens and they are better than even, If such a thing wero possible. A few of them were well filled with clover, but these havo been dug out nnd new turf Is now almost ready for play Five or Mx yenrs ago Clarence II. Gelst, then president of tho Whltcmarhh Valley Country Club, decided that there was no earthly reason why rhlladelphlans and other golfers should bo South In the winter to get their golf. Ho felt thnt there wero scores of men of big ofTalrs who could not glvo the tltno to go South for weeks, but who could run down to the shore and play over tho week-end or for a ilay or so during tho woek and still Veep In touch with their nffnlrs. There Is a dlfferorfcc of ten or more degrees between tho tempera ture of tho Atlantic const nnd Philadel phia mil he has demonstrated that It is posslblo to have golf tho year round at Seavlcw. Mr. Gelst has spent moro than a half million dollars on tho course and clubhouse and hla membership would rend llko a Who's Who of tho big men lit this country Steel magnates, distinguished luwyers, the biggest hankers In tho country nnd scores of prominent men In tho professional nnd busi ness walks of life are members, and If the wenlth of some of tho men who are now members were counted up It would run Into hundreds of millions. K Is to be doubted If any other club in the country has moro wealthy or moro Influential men than Sea- lew, A Clubhouse Par Excellence Tho clubhouse s conducted like a big hotel. Tho bedrooms arc furnished as no hotel would attempt It, and thero Is every thing In tho clubhouse that any hotel guest would ask for; and. In addition, there Is the elghteen-holo course at the front door One of the principal attractions Is the swim ming pool, twenty feet wide and sixty long filled with salt water tempered enough to' take off nny shock. And hardly a golfer who plays nt Seavlew falls to take n plunge In tho big tiled pool after his round. Ilaths of all sorts aro there, too; and ono of the features Is a drying room. In caso golfers aro caught In a storm It Is possible for them to have dry clothes ready In very short order. Tho course will appeal to hundreds who are tired of the long climbs over bills. The course ls not flat, but gently undulating, and Is bo well bunkered that It demands first class golf at all times. And some of the finest golf courses In Great Ilrltaln and around Chicago are Just as flat. The soil Is a sandy loam nnd It Is possi ble to play thlrty-slx holes without tiring. The turf Is excellent throughout, and the greens are a delight, no two being alike In contour. There are pits that remind you of the huge trapa between the seventh I and eighth holes at Whitemarsh, but every u,io ion uo itjru vufc wiiii u single stroke, provided the shot Is well executed. Cvery club In tho bag Is demanded and the one shot holes which determine tho worth of any course are excellent. Tle seventh Is a ,oon or cleek or mid Iron, according to the wind and tho drive Is a mashl or mashlo niblick. , Hugh Wilson Laid Out Course - Hugh I. Wilson, who also laid out the two Merlon courses.
