SENSATIONAL GOLF.
Col. WOrthinStOn Wins the Approach
ing and Putting Match.

Sensational golf was the order of the day
on the links of the Chevy Chase Golf Club
yesterday. There was long list of entries
for the approaching and putting match. for
which Mr.. Simkns had offered a handsome
silver vase as prize for the winner but the
exceptional play of several of the contest
ants at the start off made many of the late
entries drop out from a hopeless case.
Mr.. Boardman and DR.. Gray made the
three approaches and puts in eight. and 1t
was the general belief that these two fine
golfers would have to play off the tie for
the trophy. The sensation was furnished
by Col. Worthington. who. by an excep-
tional long drive and fortunate approach,
completed his endeavors by driving the lit
tie white ball into the hole in seven.
Hearty applause followed from the on
lockers. The score Is az follows:
Col. Worthington. {; Mr.. Boardman, s: DR..
Gray. 5; Mr. Swan. Elkridge Club, Balti-
more. .: Mr.. K. G. Riddle, .; Mr.. Leckett.

At the conclusion of the approaching and
putting match, Mr.. II. c. Carbaugh mott
fled Mr.. McCammon, one of the officers of
the green that he would offer a cup for a
driving contest. The match will be played
on Decoration day, and will be three balls
between stakes seventy-five yards apart.
The ladies' handicap stroke competition Of
eighteen holes Is being played today. The
entry list contains the names Of most of the
women golf players of Washington. Tomor-
row the home and home match between

fessional who was defeated Tuesday by Mr.
Ball, the professional of the Washington
Golf Club, will be played The match is
for thlrty-SiX holes. eighteen Of which will
be played in the morning and the conclud-
ing eighteen in the afternoon.

PLANTS AND ANNALS TRAVEL.

Round the Globe.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Apples were unknown In California pre-
vious to the eastern emigration to the coast
in 1910. In that year and the following
years until the railroads We're built the
thousands that went overland made large
provision for sustenance on the way. Bales
OF hay and whole oats were carried along
for the cattle and mules, and from the
Missouri river to the Pacific ocean there
sprang up grasses that were strange to
that country, and to this day the old trails
are marked with timothy and oats that
grow wild and are indestructible. In
course of time oats came to be cultivated
in some sections, as barley had always
been. 1t was the same with certain kinds
of fruits. Emigrants from Michigan and
Wisconsin, both appie-groW1ng states, took
with them the finest of apples to eat as
they moved across the plains. The seeds
of this fruit were dropped here and there
on receptive soil In favorable climates, and
hence the new region of the Rockies and
beyond was soon thereafter known as an
apple-growing region. Now some OF the
finest Baldwins and pippin to be found any
where are grown abundantly in California.
This is only one instance of what is hap

thistles have spread enormously. The

the ponds are choked with watercresses.
Besides the fine cultivated orange trees
of Florida, which have been improved from

thorny wild orange trees in the southern

these Is coarse and sour and of value.

the exciting and clever play of the confess
tantS with great interest. Two of the
crack players of America, Little and
I.arned failed to put in an appearance
but will probably report to the committee

point of winning the set when Mr.. Whiting
who had but one game to his credit started
playing in excellent form and ran the con-
test un to the high score of 81. which
was finally won by Mr.. Wilson.
The interesting matches in singles are
scheduled to be played this afternoon. and
will be participated in by the following
players:
Agelasto VS.. Glazebrook.

KHARTOUM REBUILT.
A New Capital In the Heart of the
Desert.

Desert.
Correspondence of the London Times.
Another considerable work undertaken by
the government has been the rebuilding OF
the cities which the Dervishes had de-
stroyed or had allowed to decay. OF these
by far the most important was, of course
the rebuilding of Khartounl, involving as i.
did the transference of the seat of govern
ment from the Dervish city of Omdurman.
A variety Of motives urged the necessity of
this step; 1t was gratifying both to British
and to Egyptian national sentiment to see
the restoration of the old capital of the
Soudan undertaken almost as matter OF
course, in tribute to the memory of Gordon.
Immediately after the dispersion of the reb-
els who had sacked the city and taken the
Pasha's life. 1t was undignified and there
fore dangerous for government whose
strength is not independent of Its prestige

second hand; to destroy the Mahdis city
was the logical continuation OF the poicy
which destroyed his body and his tomb.
independently of these Inducements, how
ever khartoum was chosen on its merits
as the true national site of the capital of
the Soudan. There were not wanting those
who urged the claims of the khalifa's city,
that the site of Omdurman was higher.

always paramount in the Soudan, that
turned the scale. The strength of forti-
fled position az khartoum would be SO
great that no future Mahdi. even though he
came with Maxim guns, would ever AGAIN
be able to plant the black flag of his jehad
over the ruins of civilization.

1t was found necessary to appoint COM
mission. under the presidency of Lieut.. Col.
Drage, to a1judicate upon these conflicting
claims and to award compensation where
the land was required by the government. In
some cases the title deeds had been pre-
served: in others these had persisted and
the testimony of witnesses alone was avail
able; in others again restitution had previ-
ously been made by the Egyptian govern
ment in 1885. Assisted by two mamours
and by two ancient notables, Lieutenant
Colonel Drage sat for four months recelv-
ing claims and counterclaimS and issuing
certificates to those who succeeded In es-
tablishing their ownership. This issue of
certificates was followed in many instances
by their sale for trifiing sums to the Greek
traders who had already arrived upon the
scene. and much of the most valuable land
in the new city passed thus at once into the
hands of a few wealthy capitalists; strk-
ing example of the necessity of the ground

community!

Deaf Mute's Strong Jaw.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


Leroy Scott deaf mute, bit of pieces
of wire and nails in the court of Justice
Prndiville at Harrison street police station
with the avidity of Beamish's goat in
feast on tin cans and cnders. The youth
full Samson took an iron bar in his teeth
and bent it with ease. to the amazement
of the spectators who crowded the court
room.
The exhibition of strength was called
forth during a case in which Scott was a
witness. He handed Justice Prindiville
card on which was printed his name and
profession, and when the case was con-
Guided the magistrate requested test OF
the boys alleged strength.
Prosecutor Scully produced an iron bar
reserved as a gavel when the noise in the
room becomes too great. Holding the mid
die of 1t in his teeth, Scott soon rendered
is useless for calling the crowd to order. A
dozen wire nails were then produced and as
fast as they were placed between his teeth
the mute bit them in two. The wire screen
which protects Clerk Roderick was then
brought into use, and Scott chewed portions
of it so fast that halt was called by JUS
tice Prindiville. who feared bill for the
damage might be rendered against him.
Scott's final feat was to lift big policeman
over his head and hold him there until the
officer grew red in the face.

AFTER TWELVE ExCITING INNINGS
Central Defeated the Western High

The Central and Western High School
teams faced each other at National Park
yesterday afternoon, and after an excep-

innings the former came out victors by the
close score of TO 6.
Pitcher Taylor has been the bright par
ticular star of many games for the Cen
trails this season. but yesterday he was
unable to go on the rubber on account of
being under the weather He sat on the
bench. however, and urged his companions
on to their best efforts, and in the twelfth
inning went to the bat himself after two
men We're out, and his double followed by
Warrants single brought the winning run
over the plate.
Both sides fielded and batted well, honors
being about even on both sides, but Taylor
proved TO be the right man in tight place.
and amid the waving of blue and white
flags and shouting of Central yells the
necessary run was pushed over the plate.
