y T. LOUIS. No, Sept 3--John Nc
Graw earned himself a home as a
- prophet by predicting early in the
season that the Red Sox would be
"the most quickly forgotten worlds
champion team in history" But John
was just hazarding a little guess when
he pulled the prediction.
In order for McGraW to have fore
seen the collapse Of the Red SOX, he
must have had a fOreknOWledge Of the
injury that has kept down Joe Wood,
and of the failure Of pitcher Buck
OBrien-twO important cOgs in the
winning Of the 1912 American league
title Unles he is a crystal gaZer or
a clairvOyant, then McGraw must have
been shooting at the stars when he
forecast the downfall Of the McAleer-
ties
Joe Wood is the Difference.
As a matter OF fact there is nothing
particularly the matter with the Reu
much worlds championship outfit as
ever. minus the confidence that goes
with success, and-nOW right here is
the gist Of the whole thing-JOseph
Wood.
The injury to Wood cost the Red
SOX a firstclass chance at the pennant-
With Wood performing Up to the top
notch OF last season. the team. would
be out In front of the Athletics by sew
eral games. Wood, at this time last
season, had won about % games and
lost three. Altering the Boston record
to conform to this, fans find that the
present standing of the team, had Wood
been going right. would have been SIS

les figures today.

Allis's Score An Achievement In G.
By "Straight Drive

~ NE OF the most notable scoring
achievements that I have ever
heard of was the way in which
AlIis. the runner-up in the western
amateur championship, played the frs.
hole Of the Homewood links. In read
ing over newspaper clippings report
ing the play find that AlIis in six sue
cessive rounds holed out five times in
three each and once in one stroke.
The hole as played during the chamE
ionship measured sos yards.
In the qualifying rounds AIlis scored
a three in the morning and a one in
the afternoon. The following day he
scored a three both morning and after
noon and then against Chick Evans
he won the hole both morning and
afternoon with three. Such a glOr-
fous start in match play round must
have been particularly jarring to the
nerves of his opponents, for in no
match between cracks can a man at
ford to drop two holes in such uncanny
figures and with such startling regu-
larity.
We have all heard golfers remark
that certain holes are their JOnahs
and occasionally q player remarks that
he likes to play a certain hole because
he generally makes a good score, but
in contrast with this the scoring of
16 for six times to a SOC yard hole
beats anything that has ever come to
my notice.

teur champion. when in a scoring vein,
such as at Wheaton last year and in
one or two matches this year, gets

them to win a match than probably

kiltie next season?
Il From New York has drifted the
report that Frank Chance, of the New
York Americans has put one over on
the other American league managers
by coping the Georgia peach for
a mere $4,000, and that Sir Tyrus will
wear the spangles of the New York
Yankees next spring. The report says
that the announcement Of the sale will
not be made until after the close Of
the present season, but that the Cobb
person will be transferred to the New
York Americans by Detroit for the
small sum Of $4,000 cash in hand on
the date of sale.
Ty has been dissatisfied at being the
whole show Detroitward for several
seasons, but manager Navin OF the Tig-
ers, has politely but firmly. declined
to sell his great fielder in spite of the
offer of 100000 made him by Clark
Griffith, of the Washington Americans.

thority of the statement which came
out of New York that the greatest bali
player in this or any other world has

defeat at Oakland Monday by Joe
Azavedo, a green and nervous young

Of 10 rounds.
What's the use Of going any fur
there" asks Wolgast himself. 'I don't
need to box for a living. I don't like
these short fiehf~- and I would rather
quit altogether than spend my time
training and DoN-n5 around like a side
show man"
He added that he was thinkink Of re-
turning to his Oregon ranch and set
Ting down as a farmer.
Wolgast was unhurt Monday. He
fought a characteristic battle but was
wild and his blows lacked the old sting
He was like a billiard player out of
practice, whose finish stroke shows his
experience and whose calculation of the
angles proves his dge-but he
missed his shots.
