Brown is the name of one of the out
felders obtained by draft by the
Washington club during the draft
period early. in September. The names
of the two gardeners obtained by draft
at that time were not given out, be-
cause the clubs in organized base ball
feared the Federal League might grab
them. Brown played with Fort Worth,
in the Texas League. His signed con-
tract was received by Manager Griffith
Yesterday afternoon The other out
fielder obtained in a similar manner
has not yet been heard from. and his
name will not be divulged until he has
affixed his signature to a contract for
next season.

In one of the greatest golf
battles on record around this part
of the country B. Warren Cork
ran of the Baltimore Country
Club captured the chief honors of
the fall golf tournament of the
Columbia Country Club, the finals
of which were played yesterday
afternoon. George P. James of
the home club was the runner up,
and, although he had.to acknowl-
edge defeat to the Baltimore man
by 2 up and I, it was only after
he had struggled throughout the
day as only giant could.
The beautiful weather served
to draw out a remarkable gallery
of women as we'll as men, and the
crowd following the principal
matches over the green hills of
the course made up a most won
derful picture.
There have been large galleries
watching golf matches hereabouts, but
it is questionable whether one of the
dimensions of yesterday has ever turn
ed out before. The weather. of course,
had a great deal to do with the big
gathering, but the attraction Of out-of-
town stars playing. in the semi-finals
and finals was the greatest magnet of
the two.
In the semi-anals of the morning
James defeated the veteran Walter ].
Travis. after playing over twenty holes
by 1 up. This match started at 1880
o'clock, and by the time it had reached
the fifth hole more than 500 people
were following the players. As tho

lottesville will no longer be considered
as a training place for the Washington
team.
The Philadelphia club is to be COM
pensated for Collins by the seven other
clubs of the league, who, of course,
realize that to have Collins in charge
of the New York club will make that
team a better attraction both at home
and abroad, and consequently be of
financial benefit to the entire league.
Eddie Collins has for several years
been considered the star of the Ath-
letics' red-thousand-dollar in
field. His loss to the team naturally
would make a great difference in its
strength, but would be a general bene-
fit, because it would bring the Ath-
letics down to where they would be
nearer equal in strength to some of
the other teams.

season is a matter of conjecture Few
new faces have been added to the local
list during the period when recruiting
is usually done. most of the new men
being players who have had trials here
before, were farmed out and recalled.
Few, If any, of these are of caliber
which can hope to strengthen the To-
calls, and it is not poor prediction to
say that with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions the Nationals will present the
same front they did last spring. Ron
deau. if he hits up to expectations, may
take the place of one of the other out
fielders, but the infield probably will
remain intact, for it does not seem that
Griffith has found any one who will
be an improvement over Morgan,
though that young man did not come
anywhere near to expectations in the
last campaign. But he as well as Can
dill. both of whom had an off year, may
come back to their 1913 form, in which
event the teams chances to make a
good showing will be materially in
creased.
There also is hope that the pitching
staff will loom ups more formidable.

RECORD FAILURE
IN ,LAFLIN CRASH
Great Mercantile Concern in the Hands of
Receivers-Total Debts Reported as
More Than 100000 600

New York, June 25.-The biggest
mercantile failure in the history of
the United States was precipitated to-
day when receivers were appointed
for the H. B. Clafiin Co. of this city.
The company, it is estimated, owes
more than $30,000,000, which at the
present time it is unable to pay. Its
assets are said to be 100000. John
Claflin, head of the concern and its
chief individual stakeholder. is the
owner of a chain of nearly 30 other
dry goods enterprises throughout the
country, which are involved in the
failure. Receivers for several of these
were named today and similar action,
it was announced, would be taken in
the case of the rest. Their business
will be continued under receivers
management until their financial af-
fairs have been adjusted. From 5000
to 5000 banks in all parts Of the United
States compose the bulk of the Clafiin
creditors. They hold notes aggregating
the majority of the liabilities. These
notes are said to have been issued by
the various Clafiin stores, endorsed by
II. B. Claflin Co, and the proceeds
used when discounted in financing
their needs. The United Dry Goods
Co, a $51,0O0000 corporation, financed
several years ago by j. p. Morgan &
Co, to take over other Claflin inter-
ests. is not involved in the failure.
Neither is the Associated Merchants
Co, owned by the United Dry Goods
Co, and which in turn owns one-half
of the H. B. Clatiin ca. and a FUN
