CHEVY CHASE WINS

ton Cup.

FEATURE

The games OF the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association scheduled in this city
yesterday at the Chevy Chase Club and
the Columbia Country Club attracted
large galleries. Unfortunately the Balti-
more Country Club failed to materialize
at Columbiana, but the match at Chevy
Chase was interesting in the extreme.
The Chevy Chase Club gained a better
hold on the association cup yesterday af-
ternoon when it captured all five matches
from the Bannockburn Golf Club in a
team match of the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association. The match was played at
Chevy Chase. The Chevy Chase team has
not lost a match this season and if 1t
wins another one it will be entitled to
the handsome silver trophy that is do
mated by the association. Only three
more matches are scheduled, so Chevy
Chase will certainly win the prize.
The feature match of the afternoon was
when H. P. Mccain. a new member of the
Chevy Chase team. won from H. F. Clark
by 3 up and to play. Mr. Mccain came
in in 35. which is a splendid score. When
about fourteen feet from the fourteenth
hole Mr.. Clark putted beautifully up an
incline. his ball going straight in the cup.
Another good match was when Capt.
Morven Thompson of Chevy Chase won
from o. II. Wood of Bannockburn by =
up and 1 to play. The other three matches
were easily won by the Chevy Chase
players W. r. Tuckerman of Chevy

The Chevy Chase team plays at the
Columbia Country Club next Saturday
afternoon, and one of the hardest fought
matches of the season is looked forward
to by both clubs. The match VIII start

Let it be said to the credit of George
Stovall. that the Maps looked more like
real ball team yesterday than they
have at any time in the last four years.
For once the players seemed to be inter
ested in their work and went through the
game with a dash that heretofore was
unknown to any Cleveland team Of recent
years.
well come to the realization that it Will
not require very much strengthening to
make the Maps real contenders in the
pennant race. There is a wonderful
nucleus for great ball team there.
with Lajoie and Jackson. two of the great
est hitters in the game, to start with,
pitching staff made up entirely of young
sters who are showing class: an infield
that, barring perhaps one position. is
good enough to hold it's own and Jackson
and Birmingham, pair of classy out
fielders The latter has improved
whole lot recently, and Graney is far
from being an ordinary player. Whether
the Maps are well supplied with catchers
is doubtful, but there are few teams
that are strong in this respect.
Joe Jackson looks little better every
time he appears here. There is no doubt
that there is steady Improvement in
the work of the young southerner. and
by next year he will show to even better
advantage than he does now.
AS a hard hitter Jackson has few
equals. There is no kind of pitching
that he is not apt to hit. and he fields,
runs and throws well. Jackson has alb
solutely disproven the theories of the
spring. when many considered him but
a flash in the pan. He Is really great
ball player and one of the most wonder
full hitters the game has ever produced.
Time does not appear to make much
difference in Lajoie. He still strolls to
the plate in that apparently disinterested
Y iC hot oh nfv,rr
swing at the ball and hits come to him
with the same ease that they always
did Nor does it make any particular
difference what position he plays. for he
apparently as much at home as at second,
and if reports are to be believed, he Will
fill that position regularly II Harry Davis
manages the team next season.
Johnson. for the first ZINE in many
weeks, was really hit hard yesterday. 1t
was contended that Johnson was not eff
fective because he did not have confidence
in Henry, his catcher, but while that may
have had some effect. 1t is also true that
he lacked the stuff yesterday that usually
makes him pitcher who is hard to hit.
1t was an off day for the big fellow,
probably resulting from the fact that he
has been suffering with a severe cold
for the past few days.
Ray Morgan sprained his ankle by get
ting one of his spikes caught under the
first base bag in running to first in the
fourth, and he was forced to retire from
the game, Conroy taking his place.
On his showing on the local grounds
Neal Ball is about as good a second
baseman as has been seen here. In
nearly every game this year he has
pulled some remarkable fielding feat. and
Yesterday was not an exception. In the
fourth inning Gessler hit a sharp
grounder to the right OF Lajoie which
had all the earmarks OF clean base hit.

that he realizes himself out of place and
encouragement follows, which assures
failure. Under such conditions the scout
must take chance. The only way he
can tell whether the player really is
what he looks to be is to bring him UP
and try him out, and every club spends
a fortune every year at this experiment.
ing.
showing after several years of bench
managing. the cry usually goes up that
a playing manager is wanted, and yet
from the time that there has been pro-
fessional base ball there have been more
successful bench than playing managers.
From the year 1890 TO 1900 ten National
League pennants were divided between
two bench managers-Frank Selee at
Boston and Ned Hanlon at Baltimore
and Brooklyn. ON one ever thought OF
suggesting playing manager for those
reason that the other system was sue
cessful. But, Of course. there is this
to say of the teams with which Selee and
Hanlon made success. They were of
higher class than a majority of the
present aggregation. There was but
one major league in those days and there
were more good bal players for the
eight teams to be supplied than there are
now for sixteen. Hanlons old champions
did not need a manager. They played
their own game and all Hanlon had to do
was to suggest and they could execute.
That, too. is true of Selee. But the
scarcity of good ball players compared
with the present demand has changed
things and a managers duties now are
much more arduous than they were In
those days
