Because of the varying handicaps the alternate dilve was thought lo be the fairest to all concerned, as manv ot the woirn play hut little, and It is necessary to give them the limit Inndleap to put them on a par with the team players. Here Are the Winners Mr. .Short offered three prbes. a silver cup for tlie low net, nnd tills went to Mr. and Mrs Deming with a score of 107 28 7D. The second prize went lo Mis Helen Oormley and Horace Daw son with a score of 101 II 80, whllo hf third was won by Mr. nnd Mrs J F. Wood vMtli 116 33 83. Tho low gross score was made by Miss Maude Hoffman nnd K Chapman with aj99. Mr. Short also gave a thrift stamp to every man and woman wht. refrained fiom talking to each other, nnd while theio wtrd seventy-six playing only twelve won the stamps All of which shows that silence Ik gotden. Aftei the buffet supper vvas served there was danc ing for all the participants, and later In the evening tluj prizes were presented by Charles Si, Balr, with some witty remarko thrown In for good measure. Then came tho Husband and Wife Song, with a dozen amusing verses descriptive of the married men In the tourney Why He Was Mirthful One ot the club members met one of tlie husbands playing the third hole, and on his face was a look of glee. "Wnv this mirth?' asked the member. "Well," my wife has had me In the rough four times, in a trap twice and I just sent her Into the creel.. She's afraid to say any thing to me for fear we will get a stroke added to our rapidly mounting score," Husbands swore under their breath when theh wives used wcoden clubs to get out of tall grass, and women moaned when the men ruined perfectly good drives, but there were times when both I played well and it was hard work not to say ine snov or "wen piayeu. Most of the contestants thought it might have been better if the players had been given the right to praise the good shots of their partners and refrain from criticizing or suggesting.

The statement brought out tlic fact that of the 631 reserve players In major league clubs on October 1, 1917. ninety one, or 17.1 per cent, have volunteered and sixty-three, or 11.8 per cent, have been drafted Into service. In this con nection Chairman Herrmann says: "I am quite sure that no other line of busi ness or occupation can make a better showing than this " The statement Informs General Crow der that the average salary of the play ers who volunteered was J2521 24 and of those who were drafted $2441 2C for a period of six months only. To this paragraph Chairman Herrmann adds: VSo It cannot be held that thev soucht service In order to benefit their condl-' tlon from a financial standpoint." The statement adds: "H will be nultc a-los to sopie of the clubs when their' players who are now In classification A-l , are called. We realize that there can not and should not be any exceptions made in cases of this kind and that class of players must stand In the same cate gory as far as the draft regulations aie cerned as any other person."

'l '.'. o 1 -- LEONARD FACES TEST Britlon'g Work Against Lewis Shows Veteran to Be in Trim the Lount In that exhibition ma Jack Urltton In New York laat Thursday New York, June 22. John A. Heydler, secretary of the Na tional Baseball League, Issued a state ment here last night declaring that the Philadelphia American League club, and not the Boston Nationals, should bt charged with neglect In the controversy, resulting In court actlun, over the em ployment by Philadelphia of Pitcher Scott Perry, formerly with the Atlanta club, of the Southern Association. Heydler asserted that the Phlladel-, phi a club violated ruin ten of the Na tlonal Commission, which provides that the transfer of a player by or to a major league club shall not be valid I unless, under a form of agreement pre scribed by the commission stating the terms of the deal. No agreement has been filed, he said, for the transfer of Perry. The Boston club, Heydler asserts, did not know that Perry was with Phlladel- i phla until he had wort and lost a game, I which disposes of the nssertlon of the Philadelphia officials that "Boston made I no claim to Perry until ho began to show major league ability' As soon as President ITsiiirhlnn ne Boston, vvas aware of Perry's Jump, Heydler states, he demanded that his club be allowed to complete the terms of Its 1917 agreement with Atlanta for' thirty days' trial of this player. , ' Perry, who Joined Philadelphia .' declaring hevvvas a "free agent," la now inojing vtiiu me iram unaer a court injuiiniuii, rc-urnmiug me liosion club aiuiii iiiicneriiiff NATIONAL LEAGUE PITCHING AVERAGES Games Won by Pitchera From These ctuna Gam's Lost by Pitcher", to These Clubs 3 a Q Q r s r w a o r v, o i tr S i i . r n 1 8 S1 " o SOB r TltPher and Club ,W. 1 2 2 1 1 I0U V.I.. 11 .
