RAGING RAGTIME.

For several years past ragtme has
ragged In Paris. In the cafes and in the
parks. in the revues and the dance
halls, the subtleties OF syncopation have
marked time for the Pas de rOurs"
and the tango. And now II Is London
which clamors for waiting for the
Robert e. Lee" "Oh. You Beautiful
Doll" and "I Want To Be in Dixie"
SO great is the demand for American
ragtime singers that. according TO one
Of our native composers OF ragtime,
English chorus girls are billing them
selves as american coon singers In
order to obtain engagements In the
halls. The authority for this assertion
Is Louis A. Hirsch, whose ragtime
scores have assured the successes over
there OF two big London Revues at the
Hippodrome. In the first of these was
Hello. Ragtime." which ran for ten
months. with twice day performances,
and It's SUCCESSOR il "Hullo. Tango"
which has already passed its 250th per-
Torrance and Is still running. Mr..
Hirsch has been engaged by A. II. Woods
to write the score for 1.-THE Girl from
Ciro's," which Is to DO produced there
in the fall, with Ethel Levey as the star.
Miss Lcvey is at present appearing In
"Hullo. Tango" at the London Hippo
drome. II is the opinion OF Mr.. Hlrsch
that ragtime liz no passing fad, either in
this country or abroad.
In discussing the English vogue OF
syncopated melody the young COM
poser said:

Hans Wagner in right. For seven
years Beaumont covered center field
for the Pirates. While he and Clarke
were the regular center and left field
guardians during this entire period,
right field was covered by new player
nearly every season. Lefty Davis sue
ceeded Wagner, and was himself sue
ceeded by Jimmy Sebring. who in turn
was ousted by Harry Mccormick, who

While with the Pirates, Beaumont

A rearrangement Of the holes on the
Washington Country Club course Will
very likely be decided upon by those IN
charge, and the new course USED When
next years season begins In the spring.
This new plan, which will affect nearly
every hole on the course, has been un-
der consideration for some time. and the
green committee has recommended that
the club adopt 1t. Under this scheme
the first five holes will be the same,
but what is now the thirteenth will be
the sixth, the present fourteenth Will
be the seventh. the present hfteentn
the eighth, and what is now the SIX
teenth will be No. 9. Coming In the
present seventeenth will be the tenth,
the twelfth will be changed to the
eleventh, and the present sixth,
seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and
eleventh will be the twelfth, thir-
teenth, fourteenth, fifteenth. sixteenth
eighteenth remaining the same. The
proposed new course will have many
advantages over the present one. In
the first place, both the ninth and
eighteenth holes end at the clubhouse,
which will enable players to start at
two different places. this being an es-
pecially attractive feature from the
green committees viewpoint, as 1t Will
do a great deal toward keeping the
course from getting congested Satur-
days and holidays. to say nothing of
the fact that the players themselves
will not be kept waiting SO long for
their turn to start off. This change
also comes in handy for those who
want to play a short game, as they
can play nine holes without cutting
across the course and interfering with
the play of others. and will end up
near their base and not several miles
away. Then. again, the new arrange
ment gives better sequence of holes.
For instance, the course as now used
has five -four" holes in succession go
ing out-the fourth to the eighth, In
elusive. The new plan does away with
this and substitutes a five" and d
three" for two of these "fours," thus
making the arrangement ideal from a
scientific standpoint. An odd feature of
the new plan is that the par for each
of these two nine-hole courses will be
the same. while there is less than fifty
yards difference in their length. The
card for the present course, together
with that for the proposed new one,

achieved the rare feat of hitting for a
total Of twelve bases.
In 1907 the Pittsburgh club sprung Il
surprise by trading Beaumont, Claude
Ritchey and Pat F'laherty to Boston TOR
Second Baseman Ed Abbaticchio. Beau
mont at once fell into center field at
the Hub, where he gave n good account
of himself until 1909. when he showed
signs of going back. having gained
considera bly, in weight. At the begin
ming of the season of 1910 he was re-
leased to the Chicago club, with which
team he finished the season under
Frank Chance. In 1911 he was re-
leased by Chicago to the st. Paul club
his last year in base ball. In 1912 and
to date he failed to report to the st.
Paul club, which still carries his name
on the reserve list.
During the three years Beaumont was
with the Bostons, the team had four
managers, Fred Tenney in 1907, Joe
Kelley in 1908 and Frank Bow
and Harry Smith in 1909. Strange to
say, three of these four managers were

OF the three players traded to Boston
Beaumont held out the longest. Flah-
erty was released to Kansas City after
the season of 1908, and Ritchey in June
of 1909 was sent to Providence, while
Beaumont was let go in 1910: Abbatic-
chic lasted three years with the Pr
rates, going back to Boston in July,
1910. His place at second base for
Pittsburgh was taken by Jack Miller.

Beaumont. beyond doubt. will never
return to the game. in spite of the
fact that his name is held on the st.
Paul reserve list. He is now farmer
near Honey Creek. Wis, and last April
was unanimously elected supervisor of
Walworth county. Up there to become
a successful politician one must be-
come a staid farmer, and that is just
what Beaumont is at present.

There will be three names engraved
opposite '1914' on the plaque at the
Columbia Country Club which shows
who made the best score on the course

Garden City Golf Club of New York,
Walter r. Tuckerman of Chevy Chase

names which will adorn the trophy.
Travis made this mark in the quail

With only the opening moves MADE
in the European war. the practice OF
the art of chess may truthfully be said
to have vanished from that distracted
continent. Foreign exchanges, instead
of accounts of matches and tourrs
ments and scores Of games, give only
past performance dope and lists OF
masters killed, wounded and i'm

now be playing their. match for tho
worlds championship. In all probabil-
ity the champion will go to his grave
without another challenge to do battle
for his title.
Under such conditions il is the more
to be deplored that there is but ono
master tournament in prospect in tho
whole Americas. This is the projected
national tournament in connection with
the Panama exposition-and at the

GOLFING HINTS.
BY .sTRAIGHT DRIVE

OBSERVATION.-T am firmly
convinced that the average golfer
would get a great deal of benefit
from watching the play of ex-
perts and studying their treat
ment of certain shots under differ
ent conditions. Nearly all the
greatest players in the world ad
init the value Of such observation.
Harry Vardon, the siN-time win
ner of the British open champion
ship, went through his own early
training on the watching system.
He says that in these days young
players take their golf too casu-
ually. Their lessons teach them
how to stand, but they devote too
little time to learning how TO
make the various shots
1t is mighty good idea to pick
out some fairly expert player of
about your own build and strength
and study his play at every op-
portunity. In many cases you may
not find it impossible TO get into
a four-ball match in which he is
also one of the competitors. Near

more useful.

came in so rapidly that by the 1st of
November it was recognized that the
structure would be taxed to it's capacity
and there was likelihood of a necessity
of refusing applications. Hence it was
arranged to add some seven or eight

be no limit to the number of people de-
