Indifferent success he was sent to
the Montreal club and improved so
much that Clark Griffith brought
him down to Washington and 1t
made Griff's team for him, as Gan

HOT GAME WITH AUBURN

The Auburn basket ball five defeated

The game was much faster than the

but in the last half the Jackets were
outplayed by the visitors.
Auburn's superior training and team
work told the tale. The passing OF the

MANY CHANGES IN
GOLF BALL
STYLES
BY Chick Evans.
western Amateur Golf Cham

T n the year 1916 the Edinburgh
Burgess Golf1ng society recetv-
ed from the Corporation of
Edinburgh silver golf club. To this
club each captain on retiring from
Office affixed a silver goif ball. and
by 1894 the club was covered with
these balls. Then the Edinburgh
council presented the society with
another club. Now, since the cap
tain's term of office has been short
ened the attached balls are rapidly
inorea sing.
Custom requires that the captain
select the most popular ball Of his
time for representation on the sill
yer club Therefore these little
spheres form an interesting con-
crete history OF the golf ball for
the last 10 years. Up to 1856 there
are representa- lions Of the feather
variety.
Newer Styles Appeal.
Keith Maitland in 1856 attached
the first example OF the hand ham
mered gutta ball and in 1857 Will
liam Mann added a silver facsim-
lie of the grooved gutta. Captain
Purvis furnished the last example
of the gutta in 1900.
The first patterns of rubber
core, the Haskell, was attached by
Captain Chesser in 1903, and Cap
tain Andrews provided a pimple-
surface Kite" in 1905 1t fs well
worth the journey to Barnton TO
see how far the makers of golf
balls have travelled.
Although the first silver club was
given to the society in 1918. the
balls attached to it date back to
1895. 1t has been suggested In az
PLANTATION that all the captains liv-
ing at the time the club was re-
ceived attached balls to it; or there
had been another club to which
other balls had been attached.
Oldest Club in Scotland.
The Edinburgh Burgess Golfing
society is said to be the oldest club
in Scotland, and It is only second
in age 20 the Royal Blackheath club
of England. Although the earliest
minute book does not go farther
back than 1878. 1875 is really
claimed as the date Of the clubs be-
ginning.
When / was at St. Andrews l
saw silver clubs with balls attach
ed but did not notice the earliest
dates. The Burgess society is for

H|RS|C SWITCHES;
WILL VOTE FOR
SCHEDULE

NASHVILLE, TENN, Feb. Is.
President w. G. Hirsig, of
the Nashville baseball club.
can be counted on to vote for the
tentative schedule as adopted IN
Chattanooga by the schedule oom-
mittee.
When interviewed last night. the
local magnate declared that he was
unable to say positively what his
action would be, but that he was
not prepared to say that he would
side with Birmingham, Atlanta and
Montgomery in opposing the sched-
ule.
However, Mr.. Hirsig declared
that he would not oppose any
changes which would tend to even
up matters so long as Nashville
didn't suffer thereby.
1T is impossible for all clubs TO
be satisfied with the schedule" he
said, and there could be no ar
rangement by which one or more
wouldn't have some kick coming.
Two years ago ! think Nashville
got the worst deal of any club in
the league, but we had to put I'D
with it.
The schedule committee is chos-
en- by the representatives of the
league and does lot of hard work
for nothing. 1t is to be presumed
that they do their best 10 distrib-
ute the games fairly. l must ad-
NIT, however, that several clubs
have a right to kick this year. But
Nashville isn't one of them. I do
not believe in trying to undo every
thing this committee has done and
can not say that / VIII side with
the dissatisfied clubs In protesting
against its adoption.
Il would favor any changes that
might be made however. which
would even up matters, Just SO
Nashville doesn't get worse deal
than It has at present. But it is
my business to look out for our
club In this matter"

WRANGLE OVER T1LLNlAN's COW
Smoot Would Have it Out of Perma-
nent Records.

Washington, Oct 16.-Ever since
Senator Tillman's allegorical COW ar
ticle appeared in the Congressional
Record there has been an amusing
intermittent wrangle in the Senate
because of Senator Smoot's objection
to the appearance of cartoons in the
permanent record. The Utah Senator,
who is chairman of the joint COM
mittee of Congress on printing, de-
clares that he will take the matter up
in his committee. Senator Fletcher,
who is chairman of Senate committee
on printing, says that he obtained
unanimous consent from the Senate
for the reproduction of the article in
the Record AS the COW has already
been printed under Senate order it
is difficult to sc what a mere COM
mittee could do to change her status
and wagers are being freely laid that
she ''stays put" The general rule
has been not to admit cartoons to
the permanent record, but Senator
Tillman's COW had the advantage of
unanimous consent, which is above
all rules.

Highest Railways in the World.

In the spring of 1912 there was
opened in South America a railway
between the harbor town of africa, in
Chilli, and La Paz, the Capital of Bo-
livia. The guage in 3.2S feet, and the
Andes Mountains are passed through
a tunnel located 1885 feet over the
ocean. After passing the tunnel the
railroad follows the Maure River,
and terminates at La PaZ, which is
located at an elevation of 1911
feet. The total length of the railroad
is three hundred miles.
This railroad, however, is not the
highest in the world. In the fall of
1912 the Antofagasta Railway was
opened, connecting the Mulati River
with Potosi. This railroad has its
highest point at an elevation of 16,-
006 feet.
Of standard guage railways the Pc
ruvian Central Railroad is the high
est 1t connects the harbor city Of
Callao with the Capital Lima and
the city of Oroyo Its tunnel through
the Andes Mountains is located at a
height of 1850 feet.
In Europe the highest railroad is
located on the Jungfrau Mountain, in
Switzerland. This mountain is 49,
665 feet high, and the highest point
reached by the road is II 40 feet.
In the United States the nine-mile
railroad up Pixies Peak, in Colorado,
reaches the top of the mountain,
which is 14,216 feet high.-Engineer-
