FINE GOLF AT PALM BEACH.
W. R. Simons of Garden City Wins
Florida Amateur Championship.

PALM BEACH. Fla. March 12.-One
Of the most remarkable golf matches
that a Palm Beach gallery ever fol-
lowed resulted when w. X. Simons of
Garden City and Harold Weber of To-
ledo came together in the thirty-six-
hole final for the state amateur golf
championship of Florida yesterday. At
tho end of the morning half Weber led
by up, and ne was naturally consid-
cred in the role of winner when he
increased his lead to up at the sew
enth hole in the afternoon half of the
match. Simons, however, thought diff
ferently, and by playing golf from this
point that would have made a profess
sional envious pulled out the match by
a 3 and margin with a card of SO for
the inward round, which is the lowest
figure in the history of Palm Beach
recorded for this half of this course In
competition.
Simons played phenomenal golf and
won five of the six holes played be-
tween the eighth and thirteenth holes.
and to cap the climax holed putt from
OF the green for a 3 at the thirty six
yard sixteenth hole for the match and
the title of Florida amateur golf cham
pion. Simons Tailed II and 81 for his
two rounds, and Weber rs and ~.
In the second flight T.. II. Filter of
Philadelphia secured a win by playing
beautiful golf against John Shepard.
jr., a former Rhode Island champion
from Boston. Filter played in So
and continued this sort of golf until
the match was over BY a 6-6 margin.
In the third division A. +. Huston of
ST. Dayid's emerged winner over W.
J. Allen of huntington G. c. by the
arrow margin of up, while II. r.
harrington of Woodland defeated Z.
W. Fiske of Oakley for the prize in the
beaten eight of the first sixteen.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, March IL
Connie Mack received a telegram from
Danny Murphy. 1t contained the little
word yes. which meant to Mack that
last years Athletic captain had signed
with the Brooklyn Federals. The tele.

two days ago asking Murphy if the
rumor was true.
According to Mack. the deal by
which Murphy was to have gone to
Baltimore was made by him and not by
Murphy, but Murphy seemed pleased
with it.

Reputation of Monaghan Player
Saves Team From Detention.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE Chi
nese base ball team of Hawaii, which ar
rived here yesterday on the steamer Hon
olulu. owes its escape from spending the
night in the detention station on Angel
Island principally to the prowess Of Out
fielder En- Suey.
The immigration officials were deaf to
protests that the players were native-born
American citizens. that eight were voters
and six members of the Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard. Were sorry" said the
officials, but these men are Mongolians
and must undergo the usual examina-
tion.''
Then it was pointed out that En- Suey
was known as ''Ty Cobb the second"
whereupon the officials relented and the
players were permitted to come ashore.
The team will play Its first game today
with the University of California.
After series of games in California
the visitors will make tour of the coun-
try afterward going to Cuba.

spring, when Allen was with the train
Ing squad. a place will be found for
him shortly, but it is likely that Grif
will retain string on him.
But foc the snow. which interrupted the
outdoor training Griffith figured on hav-
ing his team in fairly good shape by the
end of the week, and in this he was prob
ably none too optimistic, for there never
was an easier team to get into condi-
ton. In the first place. none OF the
players is overweight, and there are no
men who dissipate in the squad. The
ever they are told and their desire to
get themselves ready to play as soon
as possible do not, under favorable
conditions. make the training season OF
the Nationals -drawn-out, tedious
affair. But, Of course, the snow put an
end ito all OF Griff1th's dreams. and means
that when the field Is such that 1t can be
played upon that the players work viii
be more strenuous than ever before.
Griffith considers Ray Morgan one of
the timeliest hitters on his team. He
paid the young second Daseman the
compliment this morning of saying
that. next to Chick Gandi1, he drove
other of the players. Furthermore,
Griffith looks for great improvement
n Morgan. and he seems to have his
charge sized up properly. for In the
gan has displayed much more ability
than at any time previously
Griflths talks to his players play an
important part during the training
period and the regular season. The
men take great deal of interest in
his lectures, for they realize that they
IRE benefited by them. The other night
Griffith had his entire pitching staff
before him. and for fully half an hour
explained to them the fine points Of the
pitching art. Many Of the young pitch
ers are green hands. but Griffith Is not
only improving their motions, but 10
teaching them a system by which their
chanches for success are greatly In
creased.
Henry Collier. formerly a Georgia
Tech pitcher, Joined the Nationals here
late yesterday afternoon. Collier Is a
tall youth Of twenty-one, who per-
forms with his right arm. He has not
had professional experience. but made
quite record with an independent
team last summer. He says that he has
been working out for the past two
weeks and is about ready to show that
ne has something. This, however. will
be delayed until the players are able
to get outdoors. and just when that
will be is very questionable.

"Thank God | came healthy out of

Fires in Mohawk Renewed.

Eugene, Ore, Aug. ll.-New fires
broke out in the Mohawk valley yester-

ing scores of families at the mercy of
unseen fires which may start in sur.
rounding timber.
A new fire broke out last night near
Donna, below Vending, and crew
of IS men fought all night. Today re-
endorsements were added. The fire
threatens grain field and standing
timber. With the grain field would
burn the Abe Kelly farm buildings.
Sixty men are working at the Mabel
fire, which is still gaining, and a large
force of men is fighting the first Donna
fire.
As yet no fire has developed among
the camps above Vending, but tle
whole valley realized that the most
dangerous situation in years exists.
Residents in the lower valleys are
straining their cars for the sound of
distress signals which viii be blown

Flames Believed Checked.

Albany, Ore, Aug. ll.-NO report has
been received from the forest fire on
the hcadwaters of Smith river northeast
of Belknap Springs, but from the fact
that no call has been sent out for ad-
ditional help during the past two days,
it is inferred that the firefighters are
holding the fire in check By a system
of ditching and backfiring the govern
ment rangers had hoped TO have the fire
under control by last night.
The only telephone to the vicinity of
the fire is that of the government for
est service, and because all the rangers
have been fighting this fire it has been
impossible to reach anyone on that line
the past two days.
Smoke from this and other fires has
covered the mountains and foothills in
this section of the state, and also has
drifted far down into the valley.
