KEEN RIVALRY FOR
PRESIDENTS CUP
GOLFERS COMPETE ON CoUN-
TRY CLUB LINKS
CONTESTANTS TIE TWICE
FrederIekson and Graft Play Unusual
Match-First Round and Play
off Both Failing to Decide
Winner

The first round of match play in the
Presidents cup tournament now in
progress at the Country club produced
several close and interesting matches.
Yesterdays play showed that the hand
leap committee was not far wrong in
fixing allowances for all save one of
the eleven matches required the seven
teenth or eighteenth holes to settle
them and one match not only resulted
in a. tie but the play-off round also
ended in a halved match. This contest,
It seems, sets new mark, for the oldest
golfer at the club does not recall a
similar occurrence. 1t was between
w. Frederickson, playing at scratch,
and M. l.. Graft, who started II up in
IS holes.
In the forenoon these MOI quit all
square and another round was neces-
ssry to decide the tie. The second
round looked like victory for Graft,
who held the comfortable position of
up and holes to play when they came
to the twelfth hole, but here Frederick
faultless play won all the remaining
seven holes and again was the game
tie. Another round will be played dur
ing the week.
J. j. Mellus and II. Conde Jones, play
ing even, fought II holes all square,
but Mellus won the last hole and the
match by a fine, long putt. Willard
Butler and Nat Wiltshire, also playing
even, had a good match, which the
former won by 2 UP and to go. Frank
Griffith, who has formed the habit of
beating everybody and had his handi-
cap reduced to six in consequence, met
his Waterloo at the hands of A. H
Braly s, being beaten down and .
to play Jack Jevne Q, beat DIR. c.
B. Jones 10, Q up, and at the same time
beat the doctor in their round robin
tournament match by 1 up, the latter's
allowance having been reduced one
hole. f. N. Coffin H. beat w. A. Barker
5. in the morning by up and 1. In
the afternoon Coffin took G. B. Ellis
6, into camp, playing their second round
match, by and /. In the morning
ellis had defeated P. r. Mckinney, g.
by 3 and 1. .,
Other matches resulted as follows:
volney Howard, 8, beat Winsor Walton,
8, 8 UP and to play; ]. o. Cobb, s, beat
L. D. Sale. 10, 1 up; E. T. Pettigrew, 9.
beat M. J. Connell, 6, 2 up; E. d.
Silent, 5, beat r. H. Ingram, 5, 2 up.
The links are green as in winter and
in the best condition for good scores,
better than ever has been known in
May, and the rain that fell yesterday,
driving many golfers back to the club
house, will hold the grass we'll into
summer. The present tournament will
continue for two weeks longer, then
comes the regular Decoration day
medal tournament and the close of the
spring season of golf events.

THIRD BASEMEN
ARE VERSATILE
CRACK THIRD SACKERS MUST
HAVE NATURAL TALENT
HANDLE HARDEST BALLS
Studies Every Batsman in the League
and Has Most Difficult Position
on the iamond-CooIness
Necessary

Third base is undoubtedly the most
difficult of all positions on a baseball
field, and the great third basemen can
almost be counted on the the fingers of
one hand.
A good third baseman must not
only be quick to think and act, but
must have a steel-like nerve. Many
during practice, but could not stand
the fire during a game. Great physi-
cal courage is required of a player in
this position, and the slightest streak
Of cowardice or yellow" as it is
known in baseball lingo, will ruin his
chance of drawing salary from ma
Jor league club.
Third base is difficult for several
reasons. The player who attempts
il has to handle the infield and has to
mond with less time than other in
fielders to do it. He is closer to the
batter when the ball is hit than any
other man in the infield, except the
pitcher, and this makes his work
doubly fast and difficult. The third
baseman is called upon to handle more
than 60 per cent of the bunts, ana
that in itself is a nerve-racking duty.
Knowing that the runner is swiftly
speeding toward first, the third base
man has to make dash for the slow
hit ball as it spins around in a tantaliz-
ing manner, and to get his man must
throw almost without looking. If there
be runner leaving first on such
play, the third baseman must decide
in a flash whether it is safer to get
the man at second or first Should
he make a mistake or hesitate in the
slightest degree both will be safe. A
man who can face such a situation as
this without a tremor is not lacking in
GOODNESS and deliberation.
Again his nerve is tried when
he is unable to decide whether the
batter is going to bunt or hit the ball
out" Frequently the batter will make
one or two feints at bunting for the
purpose of drawing the third baseman
in and then suddenly drive the ball at
him with all the force at his command
To meet such an emergency the third
baseman must be absolutely devoid OF
fear and have no thought of personal
injury.
Must Think Quickly
There are two things which third
baseman must have by birth-a good
pair of hands and quick brain. He
must be able to grasp batted ball
with either hand, and consequently a
man with long fingers has an enor-
nous advantage over the player whom
nature has not so kindly endowed.
A part Of the third basemans work
which is generally overlooked by spec
tators is his exhibition of judgment as
to where the ball will likely be hit. He
studies the different batters as intently
as does the pitcher, and plays inside
the line on the grass, but II the third
baseman sees batter come up who
usually hits the ball down the foul
line--and there are many who do-hs
plays back of the base so as to have
time to gauge the direction Of the bal
in time to field II cleanly,

PRESENT MEANING.
Memorial Day Has Different Signifi-
canoe to Generation OF To-Day
Than It Had to Past.

AS farther and farther in the dim
background recedes memories OF our sad
civil war, there is noticed more and
more change in Memorial day sugges-
ton.
The little children that now celebrate
May 80 are quite innocent Of thought of
bloodshed and ruin OF war; their minds
are filled with a gentle, lovely custom,
the recurrence of a very pleasant day
when they are taken out to sunny tree
empowered place and hidden strew flow-
ers on mounds of green grass. The time
of year, the hushed attitude Of the peo-
pie, are significant of joy and peace,
rather than grief or turmoil. Memorial
day, a national holiday, should but bind
closer north and south.
And those that hear the story have it's
horrors softened by the distance OF past
wears: while they may thrill at story Of
hero and patriot, the bitterness OF the
fratricidal war is not felt. 1t is we'll to
tell the stories, but best. it seems to us, is
the lesson of remembrance, of loyalty
and unforgotten love, taught by the flow
ers on the graves.
Our fall festival of Thanksgiving is the
worldwide harvest home, as well as the
Puritan holiday, the return Of thanks for
the relief of that distressed colony. Me-
mortal day. celebrated the country over,
is now more than a tribute to the soldiers
though that is Of itself worthy. Little
by little. without conscious effort, the
day has become day for remembrance
of the citizen dead. too, day when tho
world-weary, world-busy halt a moment
to take remembrance of past days, past
kindred and friends. The soldiers that
are left decorate the grave of comrade-
in-arms, and remember the mound Of
wife and of child. of friend that never
fought in battle. Memorial day has be-
come day when love triunlphs over
war.

THE BIG ALASKAN BEAR.
His Skin Highly Valued by Sports
men of the World as a
Trophy.

Alaska is particularly rich in bears:
and most of them belong to a group
known as the Alaskan brown bears, Of
which the Kodiak bear is one. So wide is
his reputation that sportsmen from all
over the world spend thousands of dol
lars in order to add skin to their collec-
ton of trophies, says ]. Alden Loring, in
Recreation. The weight of a well-knOwn
Kodiak bear is not known. although
specimens have been killed that were es-
timated to weigh between 1,500 and 1900
pounds, and some hunters claim that
they they will go as high as 2,200. While
at Kodiak several summers ago, meas

mails which stretched the tape nine and
a half feet from the nose to the tail, and
ten and a half feet across the OUT

that pass through the hands CT the Alas
kan Commercial company at Kodiak,
told Lee that he had seen skins that were
three feet longer.

FOR ONES COUNTRY.
AT the Celebration of This Great Ma
tional Holiday II Is Well to Con-
slider Victories of Peace.

At a time when warfare generally
commercial advantage it is not hard
to find one reason for the sentiment of
pride and veneration with which the
public looks on those who took part
in the civil war. That great conflict
was brought on and sustained not by
the mandate of rulers or leaders, but
by the people themselves. The men Of
1861 were not unthinking units of nil
itary power ordered out to do battle
for reasons of which they knew moth
ing and cared nothing. They were
freemen deliberately and intelligently
fighting for principles which they be-
lieved to be right. 1t was not the men
in control of the federal and the con-
federate governments, but the people
of the north and the south who gave
the word for the war to proceed and
kept it in progress through years Of
anguish and sorrow.
In recent years there have been wars
in which principle was also at stake.
There have been conflicts in which
feeble nations have struggled against
aggressive powers in quest of land.
The present war in the far east be-
tween nations which believe that GER
tain land is necessary to their ma
tional existence and advancement has
given additional proof that bravery
and the willingness to make sacrifices
are traits common to all great nations.
In none of these conflicts, however, has
the impelling motive on both sides
been great movement of popular SEN
timent such as that which animated
every section of the north and every
section of the south during the civil
war. The soldiers of that war fought
not for land or advantage, but for prin-.
ciples and it was upon their own de-
liberate judgment and in accordance
with their own will that the orders to
fight for those principles were ISSUED.
AS each succeeding Memorial day
passes by and the events of that mo-
mentous period are seen more clearly
in their proper perspective it is not
surprising that the people should look
back with increasing reverence upon
the men who took part in it.-Chicago
