ran almost unanimous opinion that Chuck Garland, of Pittsburgh, Is at
possibility for the national net crown.
hlladelphlans will remember young Garland In his matches here last
-He played with the traveling stars who gave exhibition matches for
i' Cross. His confidence on the court attracted considerable atten-
particularly when he so easily defeated Throckmorton at the German-
P pricket Club.
tttJHUnentlng on this youthful star, the Chicago Dally Herald says:

fclMfnot' already done so, Is 'Chuck' Garland, a scion of the millionaire

THIRTEEN of Ban Johnson's gunners
have fired nineteen shutouts Into the
enemy this season, the Indians and
Tigers beng the only teams that have
not scored a shut-out victory this sea
son. Eddie Clcotte, who led the American
League twlrlers last season, amassed
twenty-eight wins and had three win
ning streaks, one lasting eight games,
another seven, while the third endured
six games, seems unable to get started
this season, for the fnmous knuckle-ball
artist lost his (Irst six congests, his last
defeat coming ftom the Yanks after a
fourtecn-lnnlng duel
Eddie -"'niter, ot the Senators, has hit
snfely In his last nine games to date,
fleorge Dum. of the Athletics, got four
hits In a game. Joe Gcdeon, of the
Browns, had a busy day afield on
Wednesday, flashing fifteen chanceB
without a mlscue.
Il CHAM.KS (CHICK! KVANS, Jr.
It was raining Ihe other day when
I uas going nut for tuy afternoon
hour on Ihe link. As 1 started for the
first tee I aw a number of friends of
j mine quitting fnr the day. and a lot of
' good-natured banter flowed hack and
' forth between us about ducks and rub
1 her hoots and cabbage find king My
friend thought me foolth to play tinder
1 the conditions. But praetlce In the rain
seems a er essential thliiK to me. since
no player can pick the weather condi
tions under nhlch tournaments may hae
' to he played. And there Is a lot nf
difference between wet and dry weather
playing. In wet weather the atmosphetic
conditions affect the (light of the hall
' arid our control of it One not used to
a wet club-head can make a remarkably
had shot, and without practice on wet
ground one's stance may be a very un-
certain thing.
Doesn't Mind Haiti
, I do not particularly mind playing
golf In the r.iln. If 1 did I should bale
a hard time In the Ited Cross tourna
ments, for so far eery'one of them has
been played beneath weeping skies. So
I went out and practiced any way. feel-
Ing that 1 was accomplishing something,
, even though It be nothing more than
keeping my schedule up. Here I am,
scarcely practicing an hour a day. and
yet I would be satisfied if I were always
sure of that 1 like a truly systematic
schedule.
Tile golfer who only goes out to prac-
tee once In a while tries to do it all In
one day. and 11 can't be done. All worth-
'while ptogress Is steady and consistent
I and the speed of improvement dependR
In large measure upon the intelligence
used In practice and natural ability
I think that one should determine lo
1 lilt each day a certain number of cleek
shots, mldlron whots, light Irons, mnshies
and slopums, all at a 'makeshift flag
Then there should he some practice get
ting out of the roughest grass and hunk
ers. Then one should practice run-up
shotn and putts, long and short There
Is moie fun playing than practicing, of
course: but such a plan of practice
takes hut little time
Something Learned
My few shots on this particular
rainy morning did not teach me many
I things, lut I learntd one of much iu1
1 porlance. and that was that when the
1 face of an Iron club, especially one that
has not been scored, gets wet the ball
slips and the tesult Is a lery uneven
flight. Moral On a rainy dny dry your
clubface hefoie playing. Anothei thing
that 1 learned was to keep on trying,
exen under discouraging circumstances.
I thought nf hitting as If clipping the
ball up al the last minute and the
ball went line. A well-carried follow
through helped considerably. On the
mushle and stopuin shots I brought my
hands nearer and let them act as the
center of a circle and the result was
excellent. Try these plans when you
play next.

section of the country.
Miiri-lon Is Ready
Marston. who until lecentiy was in
the naval leserve.s. hut who was In
valided home. Is very enthuslantlc about
these Bed Cross matches and has offered
his sci vices to hoth the fiolf Association
of Philadelphia and the Women's Coif
Association of Philadelphia. He has
been playing on an average of two
matches a week for the Bed Cross In
the metropolitan district, and now that
ho is a resident here he is anxious to
play in exhibition matches over the Phil
adelphia courses
Not only In be one of the five or six
best amateurs In the country, hut there
is no golfer who Is more popular with
ihe hig players of the country Jerry
Travers, Oswald Klrkhy, the formet
ineirnpolitan and New Jersey champion,
and other hig men of the metropolitan
district have told him they will be de
lighted lo run over to Philadelphia nnd
play In exhibition matches. A number of
the best professionals In Ihe New York
district have also proffered their services,
rio far as he is concerned he is more
anxious to play matches hete than In
New York. He believes that matches
can be arranged to he played over Mer
ion, the Philadelphia Country and
Cricket Clubs. Huntingdon Valley and
the Whltemarsh Valley Country Club
courses, with some of the best amateur
and professional players In the country
as participants.
Kvanti Will Come
Thete is no doubt that Chick Evans
will be glad to play here some time this
j ear. Mrs. w. A. Oavln. the metropoli
tan champion, who Is now busy playing
professional and amateur golfers, has
told him that she will gladly come here
to play Marston or any other prominent
amateur or to play In a four-ball match
with either Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, Mist
Mildred Caverly, Mrs. Clarence H. Van
derbeck or Mrs. Caleb F. Fox and Mar
ston and Travers.
The executive committee nf the fiolf
Association of Philadelphia will hold a
meeting some time next week to discuss
the matter of exhibition matches. At
that time It is expected that some sort
of a schedule of events will be ar
ranged. There ought to he no trouble In
fixing up a series of matches as plenty
of men and women are available. The
only possible handicap is that other
cities and sections have got the jump
on Philadelphia.
Only Section Not Duty
The Western Golf Association has al
ready announced a big list ot events and
these matches have been played over a
number of courses. There haye been one
or two matches every week In the Metro
politan district, but up to date not a
single mach has been played or sched
uled for this city. Naturally, every one
Is waiting to see what the local golf
association will do and It Is to be hoped
that action of some sort will be taken
promptly before s-'l the big players are
listed to play elsewhere.
The Golf Association la concentrating
Its efforts on the war and thrift savings
drive through the various clubs and on
the War-Chest drive for Memorial Day.
and It does not -want to do anything In
the line of exhibition matches until after
Memorial Day. It might be Bald that
many of the local clubs have been sell
ing war ana tnriit stamps tor some time.
Whltemarsh. for Instance, has. been sell
ing these at the rate of 11000 a weeK
for two months or more. The members
of other clubs (or some time have been
settling their bets with thrift stamps.
These exhibition matches can be ar
ranged without the slightest Interference
with any action already taken by the
Oolf Association of Philadelphia, As

pointed out befol'e, these exhibition
matches will bring In more money than
can be raised in any other way. Some
of them have alteady netted ns high as
:5.n00 for a single match. Then it
should be temembered that many people
go out of town early In June, nnd golflm
conditions are never better than they ar
Just at present.
The West nnd the metropolitan dis
tricts ate Just as busy with these stamp
and charity drives as Philadelphia, and
at the same time they are having these
big exhibition matches which ate draw
ing large galleries and are filling Wat
Chests.
Marston, Travels, Klrkhy, Mrs. riavlr,
and the rest are ready to do their share
Now the whole thing Is up to the (Jolf
Association of Philadelphia.

shed It a wild pilch In the eleventh
session. Pal Mornn maintains hy all
the kings that ever kinked In Iteland
that Tom (Jrlfllth should never have had
a chance to make that dash for third
base; that he was out a hop and halt
nt second Bancroft says he cot him
b.v two feet. The dURt kicked up so
thick that nobody could Judge the play
from the press box. and the right or
wrong of the decision must, therefore,
remain n mystery, save to those who
were Involved.
Speaking of his wild pilch, "Mule" j Philadelphia
wanted to know If the famous wild : st' 'oul" '
chuck wiih which Cheshro threw away
a pennant long ago went any higher
than this one. "If Chesbro could peg
any taller ones than that." said "Mule,"
"he must have been a darling."

Stolen Bases Help
All three runs were coined from stolen
bases. I,ee Magee's steal In the first put
him where he would score' on Chase's
short hit. Williams's pilfer In Ihe sev
enth created two errors which took him
home. And (irldlth's two grabs In the
eleventh upset the ball game. All last
season T. Orllllth stole five bases, and
here he gets two In a single game and
already has nipped five, though the sea
son Is In Its morning.
Intentional passes were tried by both
commanders The Tleds took a long
chance when they passed Cravath In the
sixth and filled the bases with only one
nut. hut the Idea went through, for
Meusel hit Into a nifty infield double
play. Wlngo was passed In the ninth,
filling up the bases, but two were out
and Toney at bat. so the risk wasn't ns
heavy.
t'y Williams drove quite a close bar
gain with Pat Moran. Whltted's depar
ture for war left the Quakers decidedly
shy on outfield talent, and the long col
legian didn't overlook any business
chances. He will roost on the bench till
somebody falls away In batting, and
will then gallop around the outfield with
Ills awkward but effective methods.
Steatly in Pinches
In every one of the last six Innings
the visitors made a hit off Toney, but
the "ftlfleman of Tennessee" proved In
vulerable when the danger began to
threaten. He seems to have all he ever r
owned In speed and shoots, and also has
developed a drop ball with a tendency
to dip outside the plate, which Is hard
for the batters to understand.
Stops by Bancroft and McGafflgan
featured the pastime, both of them rak
ing some almost Impossible bounders.
Mcfiafilgan also contributed two fooz
ers, but they did no harm.
Moran and Mathewson, two of the
most placid men In the game, were
wild with warlike wrath Matty early
In the battle and Pat right afterward
Matty, claiming that Blackburn was
safe at the plate In the second frame,
stormed more fiercely than was ever
seen before, while Pat maintaining that
he was knocked out by the close de
cision In the eleventh, 'vya as growly
as a grizzly at the finish. -
Roush and Meusel were extremely busy
In center field, Ed got seven riles and
Meusel five .each man making sundry
pretty and almost startling catches.
