SMALL FIELD
QUALITIES IN
CLUB TOURNEY

y OWING to the heavy rain OF
~ Friday afternoon only ~
players qualified for the Pres
dents cup in the tournament that
started July 4 over the course of the
Atlanta Athletic Club.
Twenty players, virtually all those
who started their qualifying round in
the afternoon, were disqualified by
the application OF the fool taking
shelter" rule.
This rule, designed for the drizzly
English and Scotch climate and for
professional play, is ludicrous when
applied to amateur tournaments in
the South. where storms Of cyclonic
violence are likely to sweep over the
course any afternoon, making play
impossible.
II the local club insists on enforc-
ing that rule, players who can not
start their qualifying play in the
morning will do well to stay out
rather than to contribute to the
prizes Of those who are able to quail
ify in the mornings, when thunder
storms are not to be looked for.
The pairings for match play in the
Presidents cup follows:

Cross is the only contender for
the lightweight championship.
Yesterday he took the rugged An
derson, strong as bull, teeming with
confidence. From the first stab at
the body which opened the fray to
the last sizzling right hook that flat
tened him for ten minutes-never
mind the ten seconds-Anderson was
second. In the first clinch he was
blocked with his right chop at the
short ribs. Perhaps the loss Of his
ace so early in the game too some
of his confidence. 1t is a red, white
and blue certainty that two body
blows which Cross tore into Ander-
son in the seventh round took about
all his steam. From that on he was
kosher.

Curious Old Man.
A few days ago there died in an OBJ
Scure corner Of Montmartre curious
old man. A little hand of sympathetic
the cemetery, and then, the old man
having been also a painter, a visit was
made to his dilaptdated studio.
There on the walls, the floor, chairs
and easels was a Collection Of pictures
that caused cries of admiration. Maui
rice BaxreS, Leon Bonnat, Armand
Dayot, jean Paul Laurens and other
eminent painters and critics were sum-
moned and confirmed the first verdict.
The pictures were masterpieces. En-
quiries showed that the old mans name
was Ferdinand Pelez and remembrance
dawned.
Twenty years ago Pelez, one Of the
most brilliant artists of the day, Che
Waller of the Legion Of Honor, and
member OF one Of the most exclusive
literary clubs, had disappeared sud-
denly, no one knew why. But now
the mystery was explained Haunted

of the contract for the construc-
tion of the Lincoln memorial in Poto-
mac Park to the George A. Fuller Com
pany. as has been recommended by the

based on its desire to have the memo
rial built Of Colorado yule MARBLE for
which stone the Fuller company sub
mitted the lowest bid. Representative
Underwood and his associates argued
use Of Georgia marble for the memo
rial. and claimed that the lowest bid

cation. involved the use of Georgia
marble.
Secretary Garrison said he would
give the matter thorough consideration

tton. At the War Department it Is
