BASEBALL (JM3E
Gadd Beats Bailey In Mound
Duel Resulting In 9-2 Score v
For Charlotte. .. ..
Pitcher Allen Bailey and the
Raleigh infield had one bad in
ning yesterday, and Charlotte
high scored seven runs and beat
Raleigh, 9-2, for the class A
high school baseball title of the
state, here at Emerson field. A
large crowd saw the triumph for
Coach Walter Skidmore's fast,
wen-drilled nine,
Tom Gadd, ace of the Wild
cats, hurled steady ball through
out, struck -out ten men, held
Raleigh to seven hits, and was
never in trouble except in the
sixth when Bailey's -home run,
singles by Reves and Page and
an error by Wilson gave Ral
eigh two runs.
Bailey had given up but two
hits and one run and was play
ing the other role in a stellar
mound duel when the fateful
sixth inning avalanche broke
unexpectedly upon him. v
Charlotte never hit him hard.
The Wildcats, in fact didn't got
but one extra-base blow, and
that was Funderburke's triple
two innings later.
What they did was to launch
an avalanche of cletver, well
' placed infield blows, interspersed
with pop singles to the outfield,
that left all the Raleigh infielders
except the star second-baseman
Rand well up in the air as to
how to handle.
Pitcher Bailey helped the
cause by striking two batsmen,
shortstop Paris chipped in an
error, N and before the din and
confusion were over, seven Wild
cats had crossed the plate, an
other was on third and there was
only oneout.1 " '
Reaves came over from first
base and retired the side with
out another run, after which
Bailey came back and worked
the rest of the game without dif
ficulty, yielding but two more
hits and one more run, Funder
burke's triple driving in Belue
in the eighth. ,
Raleigh tried vainly to rally,
but Gadd never let a Cap get as
far as third again. v
Funderburke, who hit a triple
and single for three tries, led
the Charlotte batters, seconded
by Belue and Pitcher Gadd, both
of whom bagged two singles.
First baseman Reaves, who hit
three singles in four tries, arid
Pitcher Bailey, who bagged a
homer and single for four tries,
were the Raleigh leaders at the
bat.
Pitcher Bailey opened the
eventful sixth by hitting Bell,
.Gadd beat out an infield blow,
Bailey hit Daniels, and the sacks
were full. Shortstop Paris took
Wilson's grounder, corked a wild
throw home, and Bell was safe.
Second Baseman Rand made a
nice play of Shoupe's grounder
to catch Gadd at home, but Beliie
popped a single into center to
score both Daniels and Wilson,
Shoupe taking second. ;
Funderbu'rke's bunt caught
the Raleigh infield napping, and
by smart base running Shoupe
was safe at hpme, Belue made
third, and Fiinderburke made
second on the throw-in. An
other infield hit by Morris scored
Belue and put Funderburke
around to third. Morris stole

ANCIENT
SPOROF RINGS
Has Been Played For Centuries;
Taking Colleges By
Storm.
Today's game of golf was first
known as Goff, Gouff, or Gowft
which was probably derived from
the German kolbe meaning club,
or closer still, the Dutch word
"kolf." "The Royal and Ancient
Game of Goff "was the cognomen
given our golf game by the old
Scots. The exact date of intro
duction into Scotland is un
known but its popularity is
shown in 1457, when a law was
passed in the Scotch parliament
against playing the game to ex
cess. The founders of the game
are unknown. The first known
official course was St. Andrews
Golf Club, Scotland which was in
use as early as 1552. The club
that bears this name today was
not formally organized until
1754. Since its birth the St. An
drews Golf Club has become by
virtue of seniority and prestige
the arbiter of golf procedure
and etiquette throughout . . the
world.
The development of golf was
slow until the last decade of the
nineteenth century when its
popularity started to increase
and since then the game has de
veloped into one of the most
democratically played games in
existence. Golf at first suffered
many setbacks as a result of
legislation blocking its advance.
In 1491 an angry fulmination
was issued on the general sub
ject, with pains and penalties an
nexed. ' It runs thus : "Futeball
and Golfe forbidden. Item, it is
statut and ordainit that in na
place of the realme there be usit
Futeball, Golfe or other sik un-
profitabil sportis," etc. This was
an edict of James IV; and it is
not a little curious to find the
monarch himself setting a bad
example to the people by the
practice of this "unprofitabil
sportis," as is shown by various
entries in the , accounts of- the
lord high treasurer of Scot
land (1503-1506).
In 1760 golf was banned in
Albany on the Sabbath. The in
terest in golf in England started
with the Royalty, being made
popular by the Stuarts. In 1834
William IV became patron of
the St. Andrews Golf Club (St.
second, and Moore dropped a
short-single into center to bring
in both men. Moore made sec
ond on the throw-in, and took
third on a passed ball, but
Reeves came in to relieve Bailey
and retired the side without fur
ther damage, causing Bell to
ground out and Gad'd to fly out.

this was the first of the seaside

In 1863 the Prince of Wales

Royal Liverpool Club established
itself in possession of the second
English Course of this quality at
Hoylake, in Cheshire. The pro
gress of the game was slow but
steady. The Royal St. George's
Golf Club, near Sandwich, on
the coast of Kent rose into im
mediate favor. In 1909 the ex
clusive links at Deal was opened.
France has been of late a strong
competitor in the'realm of golf.
As early as 1907 Arnaud
Massy won the British Open
Championship. France has de
veloped into. one of the leading
golfing countries. She has some
of the finest courses in the
world today at Cannes, Chantil
ly, St. Cloud, and Fountainbleau.
Golf has even recently been
taken up seriously in Japan. The
United States has so developed
her facilities for instruction and
so spread throughout the lands
the delightf ulness of golf that
she dominates the countries
which originated the games and
are inhabited by a leisure class.
By leaps and bounds the scien
tific mastery of this game has
spread throughout this country.
Golf Was first introduced into
the United States about 1890
by a Scotchman by the name of
Thomas Lockhart. Through his
influence John Reid founded the
St. Andrews Golf Club at Yon
kers, N. Y., after which golf's
success couldn't be stopped. Golf
has become a major sport in
many of the Universities in the
United States today. It is a
game which is rapidly augment
ing its popularity among the in
dividual students.
SPUBTS IN SPORTS
By Jack Bessen
The method that the Southern
Conference uses in determining
the title winners in the various
athletic activities namely, the
percentage system -has come
in' for an amount of criticism,
some favorable and in other
cases not so favorable. "...
Each team plays an average
of four and at the most five foot
ball games with opponents
within their circle; the expon
ents of the percentage system
claim that teams which play
seven or eight conference games
have an unfair advantage over
those teams that play only four
or five and that the percentage
system does away with this un
fairness. That all may be true,
but at the same time the chances
that the latter incur of becom
ing defeated should also be con
sidered. For example, . Tulane,
last year's football champions,
played only five conference
games ; was undefeated and ac
claimed as champions, while
Tennessee played seven confer
ence games, lost none, tied one;
yet Tulane was given the flag.
Therefore, if the Southern Con
ference officials .wish to elim
inate all unfairness, a new meth
od of deciding ' the champions
should be introduced.
If the Southern Conference
were to adopt a new system of
scoring, the method employed by
the National Hockey League
should satisfy just about every
one. For every league game
won two points are awarded;
for every tie, one; and no points
are deducted for a loss. The
highest total at the end of the
season would justly deserve the
championship. '
Not only will this method do
away witn uniairness, but will
cause the schools in the confer
ence to draw up schedules com
posed primarily of conference
schools.
In baseball there has been a
great deal of discussion concern
ing the. lively ball. Last year
the criticism became so great
that the aseball manufacturers
decided to deaden the old "pill."
They thought that by.thickening
the cover the ball would not
have so much pep, but this only
made the ball livelier than ever.
Now with only five weeks gone
of the major league schedule,
there have already been some
record breaking contests. Only
last week the Yankees defeated
the world champion Athletics
10-1 and 20-13. s
In the second game there were
ten home runs made off 14 hurl
ers, breaking the old record of
eight. If such things are to con
tinue, the .national game is
bound to lose prestige. The old
timers are lamenting the appar-
vllU 1UOO JJL J1 l-J.lA O AJCl LLlVO
They'll soon be calling 10-9
games pitchers' battles. Base
stealing now seems to be a lost
art. Why should batters gam
ble for every base when the
probabilities are that he will ie
hit around. Playing the infield
nowadays on a big league ball
field has become almost as dan
gerous as living in Cicero, 111.
John McGraw has seriously con
sidered the idea of equipping
his , pitchers with shin pads
they need 'em now.
The National League race
again gives warning that it will
be the hottest in recent years.

All of the teams, even Boston
and Philadelphia, have strength
ened their clubs so. much that
there really isn't any room for
cellar champions. Of course
course some team has to have
that honor, but they are not far
below the leaders in calibre.
Brooklyn, St. Louis and the New
York-Giants seem to take great
pleasure in alternating at the top
of the heap, and the other teams
are not more-than four games
behind them a small margin,
considering the time of the year.
Well, you know the old saying,
"The hotter the better," so all
we can say is "Go to it !".
