BREAKS A TIE.
Signing Of Smith Gives Base Ball
Majority Players Of That Name.

NEW YORK. July 26-The signing Of
little John Smith" OF the Kingston club
az third catcher for the Yankees did
something more than furnish comsdy for
the fans who saw the younsster break

a four-cornered tie for the distinction Of

the Smith family in first place with I'VE

Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

If DR.. Walter Harlan, chairman Of
the green committee at the Columbia.
Country Club can swing deal he now
has in mind, he will undoubtedly give
his club one OF the best courses in the
country. The club has an opportunity
Of acquiring several acres Of ground
located near the nth hole. If this
ground is obtained. slight rearrapge-
ment Of several Of the holes will give
the club two or three long ones. For
instance, the fifth will be heightened
8 little. while the ninth, tenth. eleventh
and possibly the twelfth will be made
considerably longer. One or two long
holes-that is, holes between $50 and
600 yards-will make the Columbia
course almost a perfect one, as the
ideal course 10 one that has extra long
holes as well as the short and middle
length ones. The improvements of the
last couple OF years have done wonders
and right now the course is considered
as an exceptional one. The tendency
Of the game these days is to make it
harder, and the numerous bunkers and
traps which have been made recently
have certainly made this course harder,
until now with par 70 good players
think they nave done well when they
have brought in cards Of 80 and there

When the new course is completed at
Chevy Chase it will be nearly 500 yards
longer than the present one, although
this 500 yards will probably be divided
