DETROIT, Sept. 3.—There were two more than interesting features
connected with the amateur golf championship just concluded at Detroit
—two among many others. These involve the matter of preparation
for such an event—the question as to whether or not most contenders
don’t play themselves out before the title stuff begins.
The two features we refer to involve Bob Gardner, of Chicago, and
John Anderson, of New York. All through this summer Gardner has
been playing very little golf, most of it embracing a Sunday round. He
made no preparation for the tournament, got to Detroit only one day
ahead, and in his first practice round, which he played with Jerry
Travers, was at least seven or eight down.

Anderson played his last round of golf at Baltusrol back in June.
Immediately after that he took charge of a boys’ camp in the Maine
woods, and had no opportunity to play a round from June to within a
few days of the championship opening when he arrived in Detroit. For
nearly three mouths he had gone without any golf at all.
In his first round over the Detroit course Anderson took a 90. Yet
Anderson and Gardner, who have Played less golf this summer than any
of the other contestants, went smashing on through the field until they
clashed in the Saturday final. ,
This may be a freak of fate or it may prove something. If it
proves anything it is that both came to the tournament fresh and keen
for the week’s outing, and that it is far better to reach a tournament in
this frame of physical and mental being than it is to overplay—as so
many do—and become fagged after the start.
One of the main features of the golf championship was the work
of Sherrill Sherman. No one had even figured him with a chance in his
first match against Albert Seckel. Yet he continued to step along until
he upset the conqueror of Ouimet and reached the semi-finals—merely
by playing steady, consistent golf without any particular thrills.
The time has passed in American golf when any one or two men,
or even any three or four men, can rule the field. There are now ten
or fifteen golfers who may beat any of the champions at any time, and
as each season comes it is going to be harder and harder to win a cham
pionship.
“A year or so ago,” said Jerry Travers, “you could always figure
only one or two men to beat if you happened to meet them in the
draw. About one hard match was all that I ever worried about—know
ing that in the other matches I had only to play steady golf to win. But
those days are gone. You can’t loaf on any match now, and this means
that the golfer who wins must start in fighting for every hole from the
first day.
“Any one of ten or twelve men Is liable at any time to move
around in a 72 or 73, and you can’t loaf any against any such chance.
This means that to win a golfer must be in fine physical condition to
stand the strain. The one who isn’t will never go through, for he can't
stand the burden of fighting hard for six days without a chance to loaf.”
This same condition will soon exist in tennis. There are now two
tennis players rated well above any others. They are McLoughlin and
Williams. But the youngsters are coming along and in tWo or three
yeare years there will be at least a dozen who will give either McLough
lin or Williams all he can handle, and make a lawn tennis championship
as uncertain as golf—which is now edging toward a toss up.
The West has now given up hope of seeing a world series set on
Western soil. The Red Sox are conceded the pennant in the American
League, while only three Eastern clubs have a chance in th‘e National.
Through the West among leading fans and ball players the opinion is
general that the Red Sox and Phillies will be the two kale-gathering
clubs—which, if it should so happen, would constitute
called world’s record.

Last year these same two cities were represented—but by differ
ent teams. Boston sent her National League entry to the scene, while
Philadelphia was represented by the American League. To have the

Labor Day was brought to a fit
ting close before a holiday crowd of
some two thousand people at League
Park Monday afternoon, when Rube
Parnham and Atkinson hooked up
in one of the prettiest pitchers’ bat
tle of the season. Both teams bat
tled vainly for fifteen innings for a
victory. The Mackmen had several
chances to win the game in its early
stages, their best chance coming in
the opening stanza with men on sec
ond and third with one down, but
Atkinson showed that he was mas
ter of the situation by causing the
next two batters to go out on pop
flies to the infield.
Both pitchers were given almost
faultless support, only two errors
being made throughout the game.
Parnham pitched a better game than
Atkinson, issuing but two passes,
allowing five hits and fanning thir
teen men, averaging a strikeout to
every inning that he pitched. Atkin
son walked five, fanned five and
gave up seven hits.
For seven innings it was three up
and three down for the Bulls. But
in the eighth frame he weakened
and allowed the visitors to shove
a runner across the pan. Kirke was
given a pass—the first Parnham had
given—and as usual when a local
slabman gives the first man up a
pass, it was cashed at the plate
when Hiller poled a double to left
center. McCord, who relayed the
ball, for some unaccountable reason
held the ball too long to catch Kirke,
who beat his throw to the plate by
a wide margin.
With Atkinson pitching airtight
ball the Mackmen having gotten but
two hits up to this time, it looked
as if the Mackmen were to suffer a
shut-out at the hands of the Bulls,
but the Mackmen got real busy in
their half of the eighth and knotted
the count on McConnell’s three-ply
splash to right and Earl Mack’s
nicely placed single to center.
With the score standing one-all
both twirlers settled and the game
rocked along smoothly up to the
fifteenth frame. In this inning Mor
peth tripled over Talley’s head. At
this juncture Myers was sent to
Parnham’s relief. Butts swung vi
ciously at Myers’ first offering and
missed the ball entirely, but drove
the next offering of Myers to left field

Throughout the West a number of critics figure that while Alexan

“That Boston club can hit low-ball pitching,” remarked one who
has followed Red Sox dope, ‘‘and the Tigers can’t.”
But hitting the brand of low-ball pitching that Alexander delivers

The Prussian drive through Poland
has nothing on the Hornet drive
through the Carolina League. The
fifth and sixth army corps under
Generals Clancyoff and Nesserovitch
have steadily retreated before terrific
onslaughts. Charlotte’s busy Ber
thas—Leonard, Wofford and Wasem
—have been a big factor in the drive.

The Russians, in retreating, says
the Asheville Citizen, stated that they
were tiring the Germans out. Who
knows, maybe that was the idea Man
ager Corbett had when he was forced
to retreat before the coming Uhlans
of Mecklenburg county?

Butts fairly danced with glee on
the second sack in the fifteenth in
ning after greeting Myers with a
double to left.
He no doubt thought he had sewed
up the old ball game and has given
Myers another defeat. But Myers
turned all thA Bulls’ smiles to tears
when he shot a double to center and
romped home on Tony’s hit to the
same territory.
Jim Kelly, pinchhitting for Angier
in the fifteenth, was a victim of El
mer’s shoots.
Roberts and Brazier made beau
tiful running catches of difficult flies
in the twelfth inning and save that
old game for Parnham.
Mr. Sherwood Upchurch was the
indicator handler in the afternoon’s
overtime affair and got by without
any serious kicking.
Charlotte took two from the Tour
ists Monday and pulled up within
speaking distance of fire place. Go
it, Brother Dudley, everybody in this
circuit is pulling for you and yours.
We at least sent Jim and his herd
of Bulls to fourth place, even though
we failed to annex the afternoon af

Earl Mack made a nice catch of
high foul near the rightfield
bleachers in the opening frame,
catching the ball on a dead run with
his back to the grandstand and
would have duplicated the trick in
the third frame had not a spectator
called for Roberts to catch the ball.
Rightfielder Dayton was in his
usual mood yesterday, sulking like a
mad Bull.
