ANENT THOSE GELD DOMES.
'Ho! For those grand old ructions brave
That made a glowing start
Toward something brisk and fancy tree
With naught Of skill nor art;
When words were passed in heated
wrath
That almost death entsiled,
Till some one broke the rally up
And cooler heads prevailed.
You've seen a player hit the dust
With appraised spikes sgleam,
You've heard the yell Of injured rage
Re-echo through the team.
You've seen a frantic baseman rise,
His face in anger paled,
And vengeance fierce his only thought,
Till COOLER heads prevailed
You've seen a manager rush out
With visage stern and grim,
Prepared to break an umpire's neck
Or rend him limb from limb.
You've heard him say his little say,
You've sloried as he rallied,
With fists tight clnched, all set to hit
Then cooler heads prevailed"
Ye Shades OF White Hopes Gosh, what

Has withered in the bud
What bouts have lived for but a breath
And damned fstic flood
What action quivered on the brink.
What shouts the battle hailed!

Choice of Course Between

Beginning on Monday. June I. the an
nuaI championship tournament OF the

voted to the Eastern championship, and
three TO the tri-city matches for the
Griscum cup Immediately following.
1t seems that the Womens Metropolitan
Golf Association expressed a preference
for the week beginning on June l. and as
this was agreeable to the Philadelphia
organization. the fact was communicated

ton. which announces its acceptance OF
the date The selection OF the links VIII
be finally made at the annual meeting or
the Womens Metropolitan Golf Associd-
ton. under the jurisdiction Of which the
matter comes this year.
Anawamis has been mentioned in con-
nection with the Eastern and tri-clty
competitions. but the course is USED so
much nv members and guests that the
problem becomes rather difficult. Green
wich. however, is the more convenient
and appeals TO the probable contestants
IN view of the fact that the womens
metropolitan championship probably VIII
