Britishers Likely
To Get Away With
Golf Championship

BROOKLINE. Mass. Sept. 1S.-The
open championship OF the United
States Golf association today is in dan
ger of being carried to England. when
the nineteenth annual tournament,
now in progress here, is over. While
McDermott and other Americans will
make a hard fight to keep the title
here. yardon, Reid and Ray are
threatening to take the trophy
abroad. Their play is dangerous.
Play was resumed today. A field
of SO qualified golfers began play in
quest of the title. Never in the his
tory of the game in this country has
such a brilliant field assembled for
the 72 hole tournament, including, as
it does. the leading amateurs and pro-
fessionals of the United States. with
England and France also represented
by golfing stars of the first magni-
tude.
AS a result of the two days of quail
flying plays, 81 professionals and
eight amateurs will tee off, and with
fair weather the prediction is for an
exhibition of golf never equaled here
tofore In the United States.
All three of England's players
Edward Ray, Harry vardon and VIII
frid Reid-are in, as is Louis Teller
of France. Among the American pro-
fessionals are J. j. McDermott, pres
ent chamrion: Alexander Campbell,
George Sargent, Fred Mcleod, Tom
Vardon. Alexander Smith. Jack Ho-
hens and ]. II. Taylor. The amateurs
include Fred Herreshoff, w. G.
Fownes Jr., j. c.. Anderson, Francis
Ouimet, Heinrich Schmidt. b. s,
Eavans, A. G. Lockwood and Jerome
Travers, present amateur champion.
OF this field, 33 qualified in Tuesdays
round and 36 yesterday.

and braced the club when 1T needed
1t. But Mack was relieved to see
Barry out there again.
Barry is not a terrifcally hard hit
ter, but he Is a timely performer
Many a smash he pushes out when ii
upsets game of ball, and l did not
care to see him come to the plate in a
pinch in the worlds series of 1911.
He uses his brains in running the
bases as he does In the field. and
therefore is a dangerous man all
around. When you get Barry and
Collins on the bags, and Harry Davis
and John Coombs out coaching. YOU
are up against tough proposition in
playing the Athletics. Both Coombs
and Davis are wizards at getting
signs, while Collins and Barry are
dangerous base runners. They are
liable to pull anything on you, from
the double squeeze. which, by the way.
they tell me Is a favorite play Of
Mack's this year, to the hit and run.
It Is this atmosphere OF uncertainty
that worries an opposing team. PLAY
ers of the Barry type keep opponents
on the anxious seat continually. be-
cause you never know what they are
going to pull.
So well does Connie" Mack think
of Barry that he Is on the Athletics
board of strategy, which is made up
of the brains of the team. Tt is COM
posed of such men as Coombs, Davis.
Collins, Danny" Murphy and Barry.
1t meets every morning and discusses
conditions and makes plans for the
game that day. Barry is regarded as
one OF the leading members OF this
board.

pionship for Connie Mack. If Wash

good chance to crowd them out.
Grifith proved that he was a gooo

ago when he said that Bender and
Plank would break, and that the
Athletics would weaken. Philadel-
phia was going strong then. He fur
ther added that he did not think the
Athletics would win the pennant,
but he neglected to take into con-
sideration the fact that all the pur-
suing teams would go as badly as
the Athletics. II Washington had
been in Clevelands position when the
Athletics blew, I honestly believe

Welsh Makes Noise
Like a Real Champ

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Sept 1S.-Fred-
die Welsh, British lightweight. who
was matched to box Willie Ritchie
for the championship here Saturday,
Is going through with his end OF the
bargain and will then rely on the
courts to win him Rftchie's money
Freddy today said he proposes to
shadowbox himself into the world S
championship. Having disposed of
his ina ginary opponent, Welsh set In
motion legal machinery to obtain
damages from Ritchie for several
remunerative matches Welsh declares
he has lost through waiting for the
champion.
This is the British boxers an
nounced program for Saturday: Weigh
in at 1915 p m. at f35 pounds; hop
through the ropes at the arena an
hour later: shadow fight an imaginary
Ritchie; land an ina ginary Knockout;
declare himself worlds champion;
visit the lawyers and make a claim
for the So, 500 forfeit money, together
with another amount said to have
been lost in declining other bouts

him to some minor league and every

him to some minor league and every
body was surprised at the move.
What did you let that fellow go
for, 'Connie'?" an American league
umpire asked the Athletics manager
one day. He looked like a pretty
good pitcher to me when / worked
behind him."
HE was a good pitcher on the
field" replied Mack, but off the
grounds he was a bad ball player.
He didn't know how to behave HIM
self, and he was leading some of my
other players, who had always lived
right. in the wrong direction.
would rather sacrifice one good ball
player than have two or three con-
stantly out of condition and my whole
club disrupted. He would not have
lasted long. anyway-two or three
years at the most-with his bad
habits. / have had enough of bad
actors in my time-all OF them I
want"
Mack, by his move, crowded this
fellow right out Of big league base
ball for good because no other Ameri-
can league manager wanted to take
chance on him after Connie had
let him go. They all argued that
Mack never permitted real ball
player to get away from him. and that
there must be something very wrong
about this pitcher or he would have
stuck with the Athletics. The pitcher
is still decorating the sticks" some
where, so it will be seen that Con
ME" did not brace up a rival when he
let this man get away. It is In this
way that Mack holds his team to-
gether and drills the playerssin his
style They know they will be UP
against it for a job if Mack let's them
out.
BARRY Is OF THE TYPE
To get back to Barry, he is typi-
cal Connie" Mack man, quiet, un-
assuming, well behaved, and always
in the game. His greatest strength
is as a fielder, because he is a won
derful ground coverer and studies
batters closely to be in the best place
when certain man is at the plate
The real Importance of Barry to the
Philadelphia infie1d was shown when
he hurt his leg along in August this
season and had to lay off for two or
three weeks. He proved the truth
of the old saying that you never miss
a thing much while you have it, Mack
certainly missed Barry when he had
to do without him. He put Orr, the
substitute infielder, in Barry's place,
and that youngster did not fit at all.
The Athletics were losing games at an
alarming rate. They could not AFFORD
them, either. This was on the occa-
sion of their last Visit to Cleveland,
when the club dropped three out of
four At last, in desperation Mack
brought ''Rube" Oldring in from the
outfield and stationed him at short
stop. "Rube" came to the Athletics
as third baseman originally. He
made a good job OF playing shortstop

that they might not win. That is an
old baseball superstition.
In considering the shortstops on
the two teams-Fletcher and Barry
many things must be taken up which
are not apparent to the ordinary
baseball spectator in the grandstand
Both, / should say, are far more val
liable to their clubs than they are
generally rated as being by the fans
Fletcher has received higher rating
from the baseball public this year
because he has hit better, leading
the New York team in batting
throughout most of the season.
Barry is one of the main cogs in the
Athletics infield and is generally re-
garded by the close followers of the
game as the brains of the team, with
Eddie" Collins. This pair Is one of
the best that ever hovered around a
second bag, pulling of many plays
that no other couple would try. The
reason Barry does not get his name
into the headlines oftener Is because
he is not a sensational player, nor is
he a publicity seeker. The latter fact
is true of nearly every man on the
Athletics. Mack drills his players in
his own way, which is to attend to
business, keep the soft pedal on and
let the newspapers take care of them
selves. For this reason the Athletics
have not drawn as well as some other
championship clubs. because the spec
tators in the rival towns have moth
ing much to holler at the players
about, and fans enjoy this.
DIDN'T BEHAVE HIMSELF
Connie" Mack had pitcher oncs
who looked like good man. He got
away to a brilliant start In his first
year and was taking his regular turn
in the box. Suddenly Mack released
