DESSAU To FACE

WITH LOOKOUTS

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, June al
With the count standing one and one,
the Crackers will get together this aft
ernoon in a contest that should be

1t is likely that Billy Smiths men will
be opposed by Frank Dessau today.
Two pitchers, Russell and Brady, were
used up by the Crackers yesterday. and
that brings Dessau around as the logi-
cal candidate. 1t is Aliens turn to
pitch for Chattanooga.
Two games win be played tomorrow
and it is not unlikely that the season s
record for a crowd will be broken by
that contest.
The ball was cruelty mauled in yes

didn't fool the opposition much.
Manager. Hemphill had been all
fused up over this game for days He
was impatient to find If RusselTs grand
showing against Nashville was merely
a fluke or whether Lefty" really meant
it. And the former Hope of Hagers-
town didn't waste any time in showing
him. He let the hated Lookouts make
five runs in the first inning and three in
the third
When in the fifth inning it began to
appear that the Crackers might come
to life and win after all. HemphiI
pulled Russell out and ST lex Brady in.
The former Brave pitched pretty fair
ball throughout the remainder of the
contest But the Crackers found it i'm
possible to overcome the Lookouts ear

KITTY LEAGUE TEAMS
TRYING TO STRENGTHEN

HOPKINSVILLE, KY. June 21.-Be-
fore the third week of the playing season
had been completed several of the Kitty
league teams we're anXiously hunting for
playrs TO strengthen their lineup
Nearly all of the teams have found 1t
necessary to strengthen weak places but
the big surprises in the poor showing
made has been in Evansville and Paducah
The Evansville bunch were touted as won
ders, and coming from the largest town
in the circuit, It was supposed they would
take the lead at the very start and held
ii. But they have failed dismally so far
TO do this. and the management already
announces that they are after new men
At Paducah. John Marin. who has rem
utation for winning pennants In this
would repeat this year, but his team has
so far shown up one of the weakest
and he too, is securing the woods for
new players. Cairo is also weak but
promises to come. GAINESVILLE has shown
decidedly the best class so far, with
derson has shown more improvement
than any team and is now coming strong
and holding down third place in the
standing
Umpire Dan Marcks has been given his
release by President Bassett and John
r. Hayes, of Hampton. Va, is handling
the Indicator in his stead.
Dowell, outfielder and heavy hitter has
been secured from the Frankfort team
in the Bluegrass league, by Henderson.
At Cairo last week, Pitcher Yon, Of
Hopkinsvile, and Outfelder Kinser Of
Cairo quarreled, and Yon struck Kinser
The pitcher was arrested and fined.
In the four games played between
Evansville and Clarksvlle at Evansville
last week, a near-record for heavy hit
ting was made an even hundred swats
being recorder, many of them for extra
bases

oDhE southern golf champion
ship has been played and
won. but the golf season of
Dixie lacks a hig lot of being over.
Two of lhe most important invi-
tation tournaments, of the season
are stir to be played, They are
those given by the Montgomery
Country club and the Atlanta Attn
letc club The former is set for
July to and the latter for
July is to 20.
Montgomery tournament will
be its third The first attempt in
the Alabama capital was almost
total hzzle There were hardly
enough entries to make ball
handicap interesting The second
one held last summer, was vast
w better affair and while the en-
try was not large it was tremen-
dously classy. This year Mont
gomery ought to have a big tour
nament As the Southern cham
pionship is to be played over the
Montgomery course next season
many golfers will want to play in
this coming tournament in an eff
fort to get the hang of the circuit
and the lay of the land
TLANTA'S invitation tourna-
\ ment ought to be the class of
EN- all" The local club is the
largest in the South Its course is
the best. Atlantas hotels top any
thing in Dixie The summer eli
mate is the best. And as for the
nineteenth hole" without which no
tournament can be go, Atlanta's
is second to none. The local course
in in bully good condition now and
will be polished TO the limit for the
coming event,
A MEXICAN golfers pulled in
a vain for ]. j McDermott, the
American professional who is play
ing in the British open the ban
ner event of the professional world.
In the first round, played yester-
day. McDermott took 81 strokes
and virtually lost out.
Atlanta golfers well remember
McDermott. He played here in the
open event in the fall of 1910 And.
truly. he's queer specimen. He
looked then like some school boy
who had strayed into the wrong
lot He is small, slight, smooth
faced and looks as inoffensive as
well hammered COW.
Yet McDermott is considerably
more of a golfer than he looks.
Two years ago, then an unknown
child in the golfing world, he tied
with Alex Smith and Macdonald
Smith in the open championship of
America. Last year he won the
open
McDermott may not have the
size nor the looks of a champion,
but he has the nerve. 1t is re-
lated that when the two Smiths
and McDermott were ready to play
off the tie in the 1910 event, Alex
