~ ERHAPS the readers OF The
Georgian will remember a little
biography N a golfer which ap-
peared In this paper a few months
ago. In that slight sketch ! endeav-
ored TO give the golhng history Of a
young Player, who. although not well
known In the West, was champion
of an Eastern state and had made
creditable showing in the National
at Wheaton. Although he tied for
the last place in the Qualifying round
with Herreshoff. he won the playon,
and his subsequent game in the tour
nament led me TO class him as one
of the most promising players III
America. I defeated him In the third
round OF that event and / have re-
spected his game and appreciated my
good fortune ever since.
This young player Heinrich
Schmidt of Worcester. Mass, has at
tracted the attention of every Amer
lean golfer by his recent good SHOW %
Ing in the British amateur champion
ship There is no qualifying ROUND
in this event the matter Is arranged
by drawing a certain number Of bycs,
determined by the number Of en-
trants. Mr.. Schmidt did not draw
bye however but played through
five successful rounds and was de-
feated by Harold Hilton In the sixth
round by one stroke on the nineteenth
hole His opponents in the other
rounds were golfers Of the first class.

pion and the man who defeated Hi

accounts Of the event, but Mr.

Americans in the trip abroad. but
business kept me at home. He went
unheralded and no hint of his prac-
tiCe scores reached us, but the re-
suit Of his going was made golf his
tory.
Harold Weber. of Toledo, Ohio. an
other American competitor In the
British amateur, also made an excel
lent showing. This surprised none
of Mr. Weber's Western friends. for
he IS well known here, and is very
good player indeed He had the good
fortune, If it can be called good for

first round. to draw a bye. and he
put out several fine British players

petitions for which are now being ex-
amined by city officials.
Though their lists bear a total of
about 325 signatures, it has been
found that many of the signers of
these petitions have failed to indicate
their street address, and while they
may be legal residents Of the city,
they are barred from participating in
q petition to recall under a provision
OF the commission law.
BY this provision. the city authori-
ties determine upon the legality of
names on recall petitions by compari-
son with the registration in the last
general election.
In the petitions against Davis, Shaw
and Lynch 1t has been found tina,
many names r not on the registra-
ton list, and 1t Is quite possible that
enough win be stricken Off to do away
with the possibility Of an election
against these officials.
However. 1t Is %contended that there
are a sufficient number of names on
the petition seeking the recall of Com
missioner Dewey Dorman, the So
cialist member Of the commission.

working with j. Allen and whose ac-
~tivities resulted in riotous conditions,

there will be any repetition Of the
troubles.
The recall movement grew out Of
