About the worst beating handed to

Braves gave the Dodgers Yesterday
when they harvested seventeen runs and
twenty hits against four runs and eleven
hits for the Dodgers
Mann, the Braves outfelder, ambled
10 the plate six times Yesterday. and
drew a base on balls. a homer. two
doubles and three singles.
Hendrix. Of the Pirates. yielded ten
hits TO the Cardinals yesterday, but nary
Cardinal could cross the finish line,
while four Pirates battered over the
pan during the combat
a home run by Ping Bodie with Hal
Chase on base enabled the White Sox to
tie the score in the sixth inning, and

one of the reasons advanced for the
numerous defeats suffered by the Yam
KEGS is that when their pitchers are
pitching fine ball the bdtters are not bat
ting and when the batters are batting
to all portions Of the lot the pitchers
are weak and permit the opposition to
outbat the New Workers. Which is a
pretty substantial reason.

In the amateur championship of the
United States at Apawamis in 1911
the average score Of the first 80 play
ers in the qualifying round was 1915,
while at Wheaton last year the aver
age was 1921.
Now. on the face Of the scores re-
turned 1t would appear that the aver
age al Montgomery was only stroke
and half worse than the golf played
at Wheaton last year, while II we
look only at the average scores made
this is true. Still we must take into
consideration the fact that Wheat
on is a harder course to play than
Montgomery, and If the Southern had
been played at Wheaton instead Of
Montgomery the average would have
been several strokes more. Then, too,
there Is the fact that the difference OF
a stroke and half average, when 1t as
down at the 80 mark, is far greater
difference than it appears.
But look at It from whatever angle
Won desire the fact remains that the
last seven years has brought forth a
considerable Improvement in the gem
eral play OF our players, and while we
have not yet attained the proficiency
of the Eastern and Western golfers,
stiu the difference is not near so great
as it was a few years ago

The increase in the average score in
1910 over that Of 1909 was. I think
due largely to the fact that the At
lauta course is az least four strokes
harder than Memphis. which, when
taken into consideration really makes
a slight Improvement over the prevl-
Gus year.
THE enormous decrease in the aver
age score in 1911 was, in meas

BY w. r. Tichenor-

Q ONE weeks ago I wrote that
was Of the opinion that there
- had been a great Improvement
in the golf of our Southern players
in the last few years. At the time
this opinion was written ] had at my
command but few figures to show
what improvement in the game had
really been made.
In the Atlanta Athletic Club, with
which ] am more familiar than any
other. ] knew that there had been a
sure but steady improvement in the
scores returned i'm club tournaments
each year.
/ can well remember when II was
something TO be proud Of for a play
er to break "A 90. while now there
Is less noise made about breaking
an so.
But has there been the same prog
ress made in the other clubs Of the
Southern circuit as there has been in
Atlanta2
while it is Of course impossible
for any one person to be in close
touch with the individual improve
ment of all OF tn eplayers of the va
rious clubs Of the South, still If we
take the average scores Of the first
80 players in the qualifying round Of
the Southern championship as a basis
and | am sure that you will agree
with me that this is fair basis
this question must be answered In
the affirmative
NJ Y digging up the dope Of the quail
WI flying round fthe Southern
championship In 1907 I find that the
average score of the first 80 in this
event was 1928, while at Montgomery
this year the average Of the same
number Of players was S075, which
is an improvement Of nearly stroke
a hole. or, TO be exact, of 1858 strokes
in six years.
This is an Improvement of slight
ly better than two strokes a year in
the average of the players who at
tend the Southern.
If there has been this Improvement
in the play of our best players. then
il necessarily follows that the play
Of the medium players has increased
equally II is surely easier for the
man who plays around 80 or 95 to cut
Off two or more strokes from his
score than ii is for the man who is
down at the so mark.
IF YOU have any doubts about the
progress gradually taking place,
examine the following table OF the
average scores returned during the
last seven years by the first 30 play
ers in the qualifying round OF the
Southern championship, and then
doubt, II YOU can.

PEEK.A.eoo WAISTS AND THIN
SILK STOCKINGS.

Dress retormers will soon be start.
ing their campaign againts the peek
s-boo waists and thin silk stockings,
for summer Is on its way, and the
wearing of these TWO menaces to
health and morality will be exploited
by the thinking and the unthinking
woman alike.
Ever sluce the advent Of the peek
a.boo waist, there have been sermons
preached against them, addresses
given on reasons why they shouldn'!
he worn, resolutions passed by wo'
mems organizations against the men
aces, and all sorts OF Indignation
meetings held for the purpose Of
abolishing the wearing of these i'm.
modest waists, yet the wearing still
persists. Since the general cam
raign against all immOdest dress,
dress rerOrmers have concerned
themselves with u group Of things
which they believe to be derogatory
t. the health and morals of those
who wear them and those who see
them worn. The thin silk stocking
las come under the ban, and the eX'
tremely high heel. The tight skirt
has been fighting for existence with
pressure from the dress reformers
pushing 1t to the wall, and all sorts
of things which tend to lessen
nodesty, are being attacked by
those who have the welfare Of the
general public in mind
ii has been all established fact
that the majority Of women do dress
! modestly and decently, but there Is
q large number, even though it is the
minority, who insist oil wearing such
clothing as would make modest
woman really ashamed. This kind
OF clothing is the kind that is being
attacked by the reformers. The
morals of the peOple-that is what
they are. trying 10 improve, and they
| fight anything that has the wrong
effect Oh the morality Of young
man or a young woman or the COM
munity at large. One great argu'
Iment which the advocates for
I"American clothes for American wo-
men" advance is that the extreme
styles which the women OF America
grasp at Partisan. and almost wear
themselves out trying TO copy and
keep up with, are really the fashions
o the French city's underworld, and
for this reason, If fol: no other Ameri'
can women should shun these extreme
styles-and the uureasonably high
French heel, the pceka.boo waist. the
extremely tight skirt and the too
transparent silk stocking.
