RAIN KEEPS BASEBALL ON SHELF; LOCAL TENNIS PLAYERS SLOW IN FILING ENTRIES NICHOLS SETS PACE ON LINKS I Covers Course in Par 70 at Practice; Leads West ern Golfers Cleveland. Ohio, July 23.—Excel lent golf was played in practice over the course of the Maytield Country Club by the 140 entrants for the Western open golf champ.. nship, the chief honors going to Gill Nich ols, of New York, who scored a par 70. including an eagle, one on the 200-yard thirteenth hole. Driving on • a high parapet tee to a narrow gulch green surrounding the yawn ing bunkers, the veteran dropped a < beautiful iron shot just short 1 of the 4 J .i-ineh cup and the ball trickled in. Others who equaled par were Ern ruett French, of York, Pa., and Jack Sturgess, of Nashville. Tenn. Willie ! Kidd, of St. Louis, displayed some ] spectacular golf, scoring a 32 on one j nine. James Barnes, of St. Louis, title holder. did not play the full round to-day, but Walter Hagen, of De troit, runner-up in the last tourna ment at Westmoreland in, 1917 scored 73, while Jock Hutchinson, of Chicago, who finished third two years ago, took 74. Among the late entries are Tom Mc.Namara and Tom Kerigan, of New York; Leo Diegel and Roy Ko ber, of Detroit: Alex Cunningham, j Wheeling, W. Va„ and Jack Barry, of Grand Rapids. Word came that Charles Hoeft- } ner, of Philadelphia, would be un- I able to play and Mike Brady, of Boston, failed to appear, but aside I from these two professionals and ' Francis Ouimet and Chick Evans, amateurs, the field includes all those who finished among the first twenty in the national open tour nament in Boston, and contains a number who were unable to com pete in that event. The course record for the May field links, which is severely trap ped and undulating through fair ways, in competition, is 69, set by Ned Sawyer, of New York, on July 1, 1917. This figure was bettered I yesterday by Otto Hackbarth, of ! Cincinnati, who scored 68, but did not use all the hack tees.

HASLETT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AMBULANCES DID GOOD IN ITALY Two of Three Cars Given by Trapshooters Carried Many Thouands of Patients [By Peter P. Carney.] Trapshooters in general will be glad to learn of the great good ac complished by the ambulances do nated by the American Amateur Trapshooters' Association to the American Expeditionary Forces, j Three three-quarter ton G. M. C. I ambulances, fully equipped, were , purchased by the trapshooting fra ' ternity and presented to the A. E. F. jin August, 1917. The drivers of j two of these cars are once more on ' native soil, bringing with them the | brass plates which were fastened to j the cars, telling the why and where ! fere of the ambulance .and the his ! Tory of the work done by the ambu lances. The drivers are J. W. Hay, of Sanderson. Texas, and Arthur B. Fraser, of Philadelphai. both con nected with Section 596 of the United States Army Ambulance Service, assigned to the Italian Army by the A. E. F. Were ill Italy The drivers arrived at Genoa, Italy, on June 27, 1918, and the am bulances were assembled at that • port that week. They entered serv i ice August 7. Hay's ambulance, No. j 79,490, was with the Sixth Italian i Army from August 7 to September J 28. During this time front-line work, over roads that were under ! shellfire at all times, was carried on. The Sixth Army was located on ! Mt. Rossignoes. Asiago, Pit. Hay ' joined the Eighth Italian Army on the Piave front on September 29 and remained with this branch until January 15, when he was assigned to the Fourth Italian Army. In seven months' service at the front the ambulance was not hit once. It covered 6,537 miles and ; carried 3.274 patients. Makes Good Record Fraser's ambulance was No. 79,- 436. It is in as good condition as when he started out. It covered j more than 6,000 miles and hauled | more than 4,000 patients, and most j of the driving was done in the Italian Alps. Fraser's first assignment was to I the extreme top of Mount Cavalet to, an elevation of 4,500 feet, and just behind the lines. Fraser made I two trips a day—one along the front ! for patients during the day and one j down the mountain at night to the I base hospital. Fraser was connect- I ed with the Sixth and Eighth Ital ian Armies. An effort is now being made to learn the whereabouts of the third ! ambulance.

Urge Local Tennis Stars to Send in Their Entries With the scheduled start of the, annual Greater Harrisburg Tennis ! tournament only a little over a week 1 distant, entries for the various events are not being filed as fast as the i committee in charge of the affair 1 had hoped would be the case. Experience in past years has been \ that entries in the vast majority of j instances are not forwarded to the i tournament committee until only a day or two prior to the drawings for < the events, which always places such ! entrants in the position of possibly having their entries inadvertently j overlooked in the rush which char- ; acterizes the last day for receipts j of these entries. While the tournament committee | will use, as in the past, every pre- j caution to see that each entry is j carefully recorded, those received at \ the last minute always run a certain J risk of being overlooked in the final ! rush of entries. Hence the import- i ance of forwarding entries as far in | advance of the last date for their i receipt as is possible. Entrance Fees The tournament committee has also requested the announcement that entrance fees are not necessar ily payable at the time the entries are submitted.
