SPORTING NOTES.

Francis Ouimet Native as well a!
homebred.
We must marvel at the speed anG
endurance of Col. J. l.. Smith of tn
g. A. r. and his fellow contestants il
a sprint and ii distance run at Chatta
nooga, but We question their discrc-
ton. That IL man 50 years can run
z 3 miles within minute of the tire
trained runner of class can cover
three miles is indeed extraordinary.
All kinds of offers were made to Ed
ward Laurie to give up his task As
lcaddie for Francis Ouimet, but to no
purpose. Money could not tempt him
to forego the honor he felt in his po-
sition. When it was said that Frank
Hoyt of Woodland Golf Club was TO
caddie for Ouimet. the lad was heart
broken for the moment, but his alarm
was unnecessary Ouimet considered IT
best to retain the faithful lad
Edward Laurie kept close to Ouimet
at all times and those who got near
to the player heard the little caddie
say many times. during the forenoon,
Keep your eye on the ball. He eVi-
IDENTITY acted under instructions from
the player.
The marvel of Ouimet's game. Fri
day, was his nerve said Jerry
Travers. the United States anna teur
champion. but, Saturday, it was his
supreme golf" The four time Ameri-
can champion was discussing the 4
days golf with John NJ. Ward, Rodney
Brown, Warren Cochran and several
other golfers just after the match.
