FOREIGN GOLFERS COMING.
Braid, Vardon, Taylor and Massy, Pro-
fessionaIs, Will Visit America.

Former Massachusetts Champion
John G. Anderson, now golfing abroad,
writes home that the United States
links are to be invaded before the end
of the present season by four famous
professionals from the other side.
These players are the former British
champions, James Braid, J. II. Taylor
and Harry Varlon, and the French
crack Armand Massey. AS Harold II.
Hilton has promised to come over with
a band Of amateurs to defend the
American national title he won against
Fred Ierreshoff at Apawamis last fall,
it is seen that American followers Of
the royal and ancient game are in for
some rare treats.
The invasion will be a welcome one,
as Americans can still learn lot from
the giants from the other side. How
ever, the visitors from the professional
ranks will get some rude surprises.
The native born pros. have improved
wonderfully during the past few years,
and more than one could now make a
game interesting to the best of the
BritOnS.

NATIONALS ARE A SENSATION.
Washington Club Is Fighting Every
inch Of the Way.

The one big feature of the year has
been the flashy stand Griff and his clan
are making for Washington. a city
without first division tradition. Bur
led ir seventh place through an aver
age Of eleven seasons and jeered MS
another flzzle, this club has already
furnished one of the greatest of the
games surprises. There has been moth.
ing like 1t in baseball, and YOU can
delve back to the day when Cy Young
was bat boy for the Roll Hornets,
The Senators have caught the vital
spark. Griff has pumped the old am
blsh into their throbbing bosoms, and
this explains the mystic problem above
the worth even of johnson and q
Groom-by the adding of a Moeller or
Gandil.
The vital spark is the one secret of
pennant fight. Let It fade out and the
argument is over. The Senators have
shown consistent ability and above all
the heart to rally after losing ground
and again to rush the line which hurl-
cd them back. They have made his
tory and deserve the highest praise
which the sportive flock may have to
give.

uTTLETON TO DEFEND BECKER?
Congressman Has Been Urged as coun-
sci For Accused Policeman.

New York, Aug. Cit seems likely
that Congressman Martin w. Lit
Teton will be asked to take charge Of
Lieutenant Becker's defense. Friends
Of Becker in the police department who
are raising a defense fund of approx
mately $4,000 are urging the lieuten-
ant to retain Mr.. Littleton.
The news that Littleton, whose last
big criminal case was the defense of
Harry X. Thaw in Thaw's second trial,
will be the lawyer for Becker leaked
out after Robert II. Elder, who ap-
peared, with John Hart, for Becker
when the lieutenant was arraigned be-
fore Judge Mulqueen today, withdrew
from the case. Mr.. Elder, 1t is known.
was not satisfied with his position and
decided to get out
The story that was told after Mr.. Ell
der withdrew was to this effect-the
money to pay for BeckeT's defense is
to come not from the accused police
man, but from friends of his in the po-
lice department who have decided for
whatever reason to stand by him.
Some of them wanted Becker TO retain
William 7. Jerome. But Becker bucked
at Jerome because he had been told
that Jerome was a close friend of Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo. Becker
knows that he can expect no assistance
of any sort from the commissioner.

that Cobb as an Individual draws some
