SCOTCH GOLFER WILL
CONTEST IN AMERICA
CLEVER YOUNG PROFESSIONAL
PLAN INVASION
George Duncan Is Already Booked for
Fifteen Appearances on Links in
United States-is Great
Match Player

NEW YORK. May Arrangements
have been made for an attraction that
will make the year 1909 memorable in
the history of American golf. The lat
est item of news is of international
flavor, and has to do with an exhibit
tion, tour of that rising Scotch profess
sional, George Duncan, who has been
engaged to visit this country during
the coming season.
1t is long time since America mas
been favored by a visit from any lead
ing British player and the chances are
that the foreigner will be in great de-
nand while here. That golfers or TINS
country are in a receptive MOOD TOT
matches between great players is
shown by the fact that already duncan
has been booked for fifteen appear
ances. Duncan will play in the open
championship of Great Britain early III
lime. and then sail Immediately for
America. so as to arrive in time to COM
pete in the national open here at En-
giewood, June "a and 20.
AT present Duncan is profession at
the Hanger Hill Golf club, near Lon
don He was born at Aberdeen in Sep
TENDER. 1883, and is rs years old. Al
though he has been In the money III
several of the open championships,
Duncan's forte is at match play. He Is
an exceptionally long driver, and gen
erally regarded as the most brilliant
golfer of the younger school on the
other side.
The plan is to have Duncan invade
the stronghold of the resident pros
much as Harry Vardon did some seven
years ago. While in this country var
don competed in not fewer than %
exhibition matches, and frequently
played the best ball of two profession
ais. The standard of play has improved
so much in this country, however, that
Duncan or any other visitor will prob
ably have all he can do to hold his own
or at least win majority of his single
handed encounters.
While in this country the Hanger
Hill pro" will be seen on many courses
in this vicinity, New England and the
west. Undoubtedly match will be ar
ranged between Duncan and Tom Var
don. who is to fill a four months en-
gagement with the Onwentsia club near
Chicago. He is also practically certain
to be taken on by VIII Anderson at st.
Louis.
1t is not unlikely that all the leading
professionals will be attracted still tar-
Their west, for the reason that Des
Moines Golf and Country club is said to
be planning an open tournament in
which $4,000 in prize money will be Of

AMERICAN FOOTBALL
TO BE PERPETUATED
COACHES, WILL BE BROUGHT
FROM THE EAST
Association Organized to Prevent Pre-
dominance of Rugby Game-Play-
ers in Preparatory Schools
to Be Trained

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-Bill Reid,
the former Harvard university football
player and coach, will go east this
summer to secure two gridiron coaches
to take back to California with him.
This decision has been reached by the
American Football association, re-
Gently organized body in California for
the preservation and furtherance of the
intercollegiate style of pigskin play
among the preparatory and high
schools of that state. This decision is
one more step which the association
has taken in its fight against the sup
planting of intercollegiate football by
Rugby. 1t is a known fact that both
Leland Stanford university and the
University of Southern California are
anxious for the preparatory schools of
California to adopt the game of Rugby.
To Illustrate any such attempt the
American Football association was
formed.
Just what plans Reid will follow
upon his arrival in the east have not
been definitely decided on. He will
probably visit all the larger eastern
colleges and universities and 6elect
two players we'll versed in the up-to-
date style of game and make them
offers to go west and coach, not one or
two of the preparatory schools, but
to be heads of the coaching department.
They will have assistants. The coaches
salaries will be paid by subscription
from various football organizations and
people who are anxious to see the in
tercollegiate game maintained.

Long Beach q. Poly 3

Long Beach high school yesterday
afternoon on the Long Beach diamond
defeated Polytechnic high school before
a crowd of $500 people, in which consid-
cradle money changed hands, by
score of to 3, in a hard fougnt ola-
mond battle. The game developed sew
eral sensational fielding stunts by both
teams.
The feature of the contest was the
heavy hitting of the seasluers, 81
though Polytechnic played IN major
league style in it's infield positions, ana
the playing of Terry at third pase
brought the fans to their feet by ms
fast. sensational catches when hits
meant runs.
IT was a pitchers battle between
Tompkins for Polytechnic and Enloe
for the winners, each having to ms
credit six strikeouts Coughran, Tor
the winners, in the fifth inning sent
the sphere out for a home run with
a man on the keystone sack. PETER
son, the elongated player for Long
Beach at the initial station, got three
hits out of the same number of times
at the bat, two of them being three
baggers.
Enloe, for the Beachcombers, held
the Washington street team to five
scattered hits. bad throw in the
first inning allowed a man to score for
the losers. In the seventh inning an
other wild throw allowed two men to
cross the plate for the losers. three
double plays was executed in the game,
Terry to Dodson and Enloe to PETER
son and to Galbreth.

WALKER WANTS TO
BRING OWN STARTER
Man Who Claims Record of 2-5 for
Hundred Yards Fears Ameri-
can Would Beat Him out
of the Race

NEW YORK, May 1,-There Is a
good chance that Reginald Walker, the
South African Splinter, winner of the
100-meter dash at the London olympic
games last summer, who is credited
abroad with having done 100 yards in
8 30 seconds since then, may not run
here after all.
In a letter to one of the English pa
pers Walker declares that unless he is
mighty careful he will be beaten If
he ever does come to this country, by
fair methods If possible, but by foul II
necessary According to his line of
reasoning it is all cooked up for. him
to lose if he ever meets Jimmy Rector
in match race.
To avoid this he makes 1t one of the
conditions of his proposed visit that he
must have a starter from England
one, presumably, whom he will bring
over here. This English official must
start all races in which Walker COM
petes.
1t is a safe bet that he will never be
given his own way in this. In the
Olympic 100 meters and in great
many of his trials since, Walker beat
the gun. Before the race in the stadium
the official starter of that event
coached Walker for two solid weeks.
The photographs of the start prove that
he got away from his mark two or
more good feet ahead of the American
contestants.
While nobody will for a minute even
attempt to detract from Walkers abil-
ity as a sprinter, his records have not
been accepted in this country and will
not be until he shows something to
warrant the belief that he can really
go 100 yards in 8 2-5 seconds. But if
he can go that fast he will get every
opportunity to do so, and he will get
just as square a deal from every Amer
lean starter as any Yankee would. But
it is a cinch that he will not be per-
mitted to name his own official

COZY BANQUET is GIVEN
TO HARTFORD RACE CREW

A coy little banquet given by Presi-
dent F. c. Holmes of the Ruess Auto
mobile company to the racing crew of
the Pope Hartford car in its recent
record breaking run to Santa Barbara
and to other close friends of the COM
pany was held in one of the private
banquet rooms of the Levy cafe last
Thursday evening, covers being laid for
fourteen, the only out-of-town guest
being M. f. Donnellan, who Is in the
city from the Hartford factory.
The diners were seated promptly at
1880 o'clock and remained at table for
nearly three hours, during which a
complete course dinner was served. No
formal speeches were made, but the
racing crew who risked their lives on
the perilous run and who aided in re-
ducing the record by so pronounced
figure were warmly congratulated on
their work not only in a public way
by President Holmes, but also by all
others present.

WOODILL-HULSE
PLAYING FAST
Leader in California Summer League
Has Won Every Game This
Season and Contains
Crack Men

The Woodill- Hulse Electric company
baseball team, leaders in the percent
age column of the California Summer
league, is one of the fastest aggrega-
tions in the semi professional ranks Of
Los Angeles, and, although winning
out three games in this new company,
they have made the other teams in this
organization sit UP and take notice.
Charley Miller pitcher of the club, Is
but little over his 20-mile stone, and
the paving ability of this youngster
shows that he has the material in him
of ranking among the fastest slabsters
on a few more years, his delivery is
good and it can be said truthfully that
but seldom players of the opposing
team steal on him at the different sta
lions.
Bonnie Leahy, formerly Of the Pasa-
dena team, who for several months led
the Crown city team in the batting
average, is one of the best catchers in
the league and his playing behind the
bat is Of big league style.
Cheshire, who is playing the initial
sack, is a second Capt. Dillon at this
station and is always in the game at
all stages. The way he pulls EN- down
would make some of the other first
basemen in the bigger leagues keep
their weather eye open.
Harry Venable, at the keystone posi-
ton, is an all-round player and a fast
base runner, and at She present time
is leading the team in the batting de-
partment.
Lee Wolfe who played center garden
for the Pasadena nine, is playing good
ball at third base for the leaders of
the Summer league and certainly is
good in the fielding column. He Is an
old and experienced player and knows
nearly every trick of the national
game.
Jeems Wilson, at shortstop and cap
tain of the team, is about the best
shortstop in Southern California and
cannot be equaled in this position by
any club in this organization. The
outfield consists of Sawyer who plays
left field; Owens in center field and
Cosby in right, who are about the
fastest outfelders in Southern Cali
fornia.
Manager w. ]. Thomas is one of the
most genial baseball experts in South
ern California and plays the game for
what sport he can find in this Sunday
recreation after pushing a pen eight
hours a day in the art of bookkeeping.
Thomas expects to win the pennant of
the California Summer league, and if
he does come out on top at the end of
the league series he will be presented
with a house and lot by the firm who
employs him. No doubt Thomas has a
great chance to win, as he has one OF
the best coaches in Southern California
baseball circles in his son, who enjoys
himself every Sunday directing the
team around in it's trials and tribula-
tions.

Notes of the League

The Woodill & Hulse still have a
perfect percentage.
The following teams possibly will be
fined by President Doyle for not send
ing complete lineup to the secretary of
the league, as per the rules of the
leagues: Maiers and Santa Ana.
Reports from various teams playing
at Santa Ana are very bad in regard
to the umpiring done by the indicator
man at Santa Ana, and President Doyle
will send an umpire from Los An
geles Sunday to umpire the game be-
tween Santa Ana and the Edisons. Pat
Fitzwilliams possibly will be the one
selected 1t will be up to Pat to show
the celery herders some big league UNI
piring.
The work of Umpire Lloyd in the
game at the south side grounds has
been very good.
Catcher Findlay of the Wieland team
will be given tryout by the Edisons.
The Edisons desire a first-class
second baseman, one who can deliver
the goods Bonnie Smith is preferred.
