Can She Sail to Win?
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The Yachting World says that Shamrock " is no beauty since she has "eod's head" and box stern. In the matter of pulchritude the boat seems to be in harmony with Sir Thomas himself, who would not take a prize at beauty show. But beauty is not an active quality in lifting cups, which is the object of the com ing visit.

In the qualifying round Of the Massachu
sets amateur golf championship at Brae-
burn to-day Francis Ouimet. the open
champion Of America and the State anna
teur title holder. led the field and was the
only one to break so for the round. Ouimet
played some fine golf his score of II being
considered about AS good an exhibition as
any player, amateur or professional, could
have given over this difficult course.
A little more luck in his putting would
have given the champion wonderful
score His shots with the wooden clubs
were remarkable for length and direction.
IN fact some OF his drives were for such
great distances that he miscalcuatcd his
approach shots and was over the greens
several times.
Every one had trouble putting. George
H. Crocker the Brookline veteran. took
six puts on the home green and others
failed to qualify because Of their inability
to negotiate the greens, the holes being
placed IN most difficult positions. Ouimets

HOT BATTLE FOR CATCHING
HONORS EXPECTED IN SERIES

When any department Of play is con-
sidered In the worlds series. it is difi-
cult to see the contending plays in the
various positions without thinking Of the
battle which they will wage for individ-

their club 10 win. Almost as keenly as
the work Of the pitchers, viii that of
the catchers be watched
This means that Wally Schang. Jack
Lapp, Hank Gowdy and Bert Whaling

Gowdy and Schang will no doubt, do
most OF the work behind the bat al
though Larp. for the Athletics will be
used when Mack sends a left-hander TO
the mound, Whether Whaling will get
IN the series is a question.
AS far as worlds series experience IS
concerned, the Athletics pair OF receivers
have a big edge on their rivals from
Boston Lapp has taken part In three
worlds series, although last year he
worked IN but one game, despite the fact

Il was predicted that the Giants would

perfectly, proved himself the hero OF tho

Wally schang Is the superior OF any
receiver on either the Braves or the
Athletics This superiority Is gained
largely through his ability 70 hit the
hall hard and often, and 10 run the bases
like an outfielder. 'He Is the heetest

SELECTS UMPIRES
FOR SERIES IN ROTATION

Idea is that the two umpires who have
done the hest work throughout the
season should De- the judges of plays In
the biggest series nf the year. This

differs from any other series only in

JohnsOn's method appears, after
close analysis, 10 be the best in the long
run for baseball. For instance. If the
same men were chosen year after year
the effect would be TO discount the
work Of the other members of the UNI

players and spectators would be more
or less dissatisfied when the worlds 3
series umpres were not working They
would think that II these other men

surely would not be satisfaC Ctory Ia the
championship race.
Furthermore the moral effect on the
umplres themselves is very great. The
men IN the National League who are
never chosen lose confidence in them
selves. and consequently are not as well

has done well, and that helps him 70 do
better work Ia the future.
