Douglas Grant Will Enter

Despite the fact that the coast cham
pionship golf tournament will be held
at Seattle this year the progress of
the event will be watched with unusual
interest by local followers of the game,
owing to the presence of Douglas
Grant in the competition. Grant is
the only local player entered. and de-
spite his rather Indifferent form since
championship two months ago, great
things are expected of him. He Will
be under a great disadvantage in that
he Will have to play in strange links.
but he is player with an abundance of
class, and If he is at his best will prove
hard one to beat
The championship tournament will
begin today, when the qualifying round
over 36 holes will be played. The 81
best scores will qualify. The match
play will begin Monday, and the semi
finals and finals will come up for de-
cision Friday and Saturday respec-

Baseball Notes

The game played in an hour and 20
minutes one OF the fastest OF the season. This
was a great change for the fans, who had been
watching such slow contests all the week.
Manager Billy Reidy OF the Oaks up
and fighting all the time. Before the game he
practiced with the boys on the field, and while
the fight was on he kept right the side lines
and argued every point with the two urnpfres
Reidy was lucky that they did not toss him out
Of the lot.
Nelson was charged with the defeat OF the
game though not run had been scored against
him up to the time Tonneson had entered the
box Nelson however, had lied up the bases.
allowing three hits in row, and therefore 1t
would not have been right TO place the burden
on Tonneson's shoulders. when he had to come
in and face full house with only one down.
Reidy yesterday released Pitcher Maire, and
In his stead signed Pitcher Lane of the San
Francisco State league team. Lane will pitch
this afternoon against the Senators. II will be
a great chance for him to make good the first
time out with the team. Lane has been
showing a lot of class with the outlaw team.
but he received such ragged support that he did
not have 8 chance to display his real worth.

Just at the critical moment when the
