ALL-F|L|P|NO TEAM
HAS STAR PLAYERS
Athletes Picked From High

tive Island.

An All-Filipino baseball team will
play two games at Union League Park
with the VigiIants on Saturday and
Sunday, August % and "a The team is
composed of fourteen Filipino youths
picked from the high schools and trade
schools In the islands and has fair bat
ters and pitchers and a reputation for
fast fielding. A few Of the best play
ers would not accept a place on the
team for fear of jeopardizing their anna
teur status in the islands.
The team Is said to have three play
ers of great promise. Ambrosio VII
lareyes is a highlander of natural
ability and graduate of the trade school
Vicente Jaropillo serves them up from
the sunny side of the plate, has good
control, and the sharpest breaking curve
OF any pitcher developed in the islands.
He has been playing but two years and
recently shut out the crack An-Army
team with one scratch hit. Lorenzo San
Jose is a catcher Of the Gabby Street
variety except that he is a star on the
ascendent
This team arrived in San Francisco on
June Is after a trip through Japan,
where they defeated both the Waseda
and Keio University mines. Since land
ing in San Francisco the team has been
touring this country, playing local teams

creditable showing, having defeated
some Of our best semi-pro teams.
They are scheduled to play every day
this week in Pennsylvania and are max

Saturday morning in time for the game
in the afternoon. They start back for
San Francisco after finishing here. play

will be return games, which promise en-
larEed crowds.
They use English terms for most of
the plays, but these are mixed with
Spanish and native dialects in their
coaching. and any one who has seen
and heard ACosta and Calvo coaching
on our team will have gained some !dea
OF what sort of animated jumping jacks
these little fellows are. They are full

AND RAY
HERE IN OCTOBER
Columbia and Chevy Chase Engage Great British Profession
ais for 36HoIe Match to Be Played at Both Clubs.
Chevy Chase Club to Pick Up Next Month.
By aCLEEK. /"

Harry vardon and Edward Ray, OF
England. leading professionals OF the
world, will play at the Columbia Coun-
try Club and the Chevy Chase Club
during the early part Of October, dc
cording to an announcement made to-
day.
The exact date Of the match has not
been set, but the professionals will be
engaged to play here in October. Def
mite plans will be Forthcoming from
Alexander Britton. Of the Chevy Chase
Club, and DR.. Walter Harlan, of the
Columbia, In the near future, as ar
rangements are being carried on with
the professionals.
1t was planned to have the profession
ais play morning and afternoon, ls-
hole matches at the two clubs, first at
one and then the other, the arrange
ment being made later. Vardon and
Ray have practically closed their deal
with the local club.
The announcement is sure to prove
popular with the golfing talent in
Washington and it would not be sur
prising to find a gallery of more than
1900 out for the match between the
greatest golfers in the world.
Vardon and Ray are at the top OF
their profession and will be the greatest
OF drawing cards. 1t was supposed
that Washington would not come on
their itinerary. but the announcement
made today is one calculated TO stimd-
late interest to a great degree.
-<
In getting the professionals the two
clubs are bound to make a big hit with
the golfers in Washington and this sec
ton of the country. Both Vardon and
and Ray command attention from golf
ers and the uninitiated because of the
general excellence of their play. Var
don's last visit to this country vas
years ago when he was open champion
of Great Britain. He has been a con-
tender for the title since 1893 and has
won 1t no less than five times. Ray
is also a former champion and one or
the longest drivers in the game.
While arrangements are being made
for the fall Journeys at other clubs,
golf in the District is not nearly as
thriving as 1t is farther North at this
time Washington golfers Will begin
in the next month for the ran cam
paign, which will take them Wen on
toward the winter.
October and November at Chevy
Chase are the big months, and while
Columbia continues to have an uninter-
rupted season, as does the Washington
Country Club. Chevy Chase has fallen
off in attendance on the links.
The Washington Country Club is get
ting to be more than popular. Recent
have made the clubhouse
attractive, and during this week more
interior work is being done 10 the eX
tent that the country club is making a
decided hit.
1t is said that the limit of member
ship will soon be reached, and that in
the past few weeks more than thirty
new members have gained admission.
