Extraordinary Golf Feat.
Willie Fisher, sixteen-year-old Lad, per-
formed q feat at the golf links at Forest
Park, St. Louis. last Thursday that stands
uneuualed. He allowed DR.. Willis Hall
and Joe Stewart handicap of a stroke a
hole Willie sent his ball from the teeing
ground into hole No Z, the ball crossing q
stretch of water in its flight. The distance
Travelled by the ball was ninety yards.
When Hall and Stewart followed they sue
cessfully sent the balls over the lake, where
they were found on the green. The ball
driven by Willie could not be found at first.
but was finally discovered resting snugly at
the bottom Of hole No. I. The cup into which
the ball dropped is about four inches in

Engraving Bureau Defeats Treasury.
The bureau Of engraving and printing
nine had an easy task yesterday IN de-
feating the representatives from the Treas
ury Department. They started to wallop
the ball at the start, and at the end Of the
seventh inning, when darkness settled the
contest. they had tailed IT runs to their
opponents s.. .--ya-
Dudley, who was on the slab for the
treasury boys, was an easy mark. although
after the fatal first inning he settled down
somewhat. but at no time was he puzzle.
He was given poor support In the field,
which materially helped to9 swell the run
column. Thorpe, who ltwiried for the bu-
reau nine. had his oppBnents at his mercy,

light Bill Clarke made three of the seven
hits credited to the Washington boys.
Manager Manning has been on a tour Of
the Eastern. New York state and New

promising players Their names are with
held for the reason that Mr.. Manning
wants to get the players under cover for
fear the National League might outbid
him.
