Arrest.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 24.-Buried
in the sand mile from her former home

peared two weeks ago. was found yes
terday by q searching party. Death had
been caused by strangulatior.
George Kodoni. Japanese artist-pho-
tographer, who had been arrested at Sa-
linas, told Sheriff Nesqit that Miss Smith
fell over a cliff bordering Carmel beach
after they had quarreled. When he saw
the body fall onto the rocks and then
into the sea, Kodoni said. he became
alarmed at the possible consequences and
fed remaining in hiding until arrested.
Before admitting these facts. however.
the japanese maintained that he had not

BOSTON BRAVES ARE AS GOOD
AS NEW YORK GIANTS ON PAPER
Records Show Stallings' Men Every Bit as
Strong as McGraws Grew,
Individually.

The bold assertion has been made that
the Boston Braves are not championship
caliber on paper, says the Philadelphia
Press. This infers that the men under
George Stallings do not size up with other
teams in the National League race. Not
only have some critics taken this stand
in view of the sudden meteoric-like
squirt of the Hub city nine, but some
fans as well have looked upon the gal
looping Bostons as only a fash in the
pan.
As matter of fact. when one delyes
into figures for a comparison, quite the
contrary is found to be fact. Just
to illustrate by figures. which are
pretty good guide, that the Braves are
not even inferior to the New York
Giants on paper, we will cast an eye
at the records to date of the men in
their relative positions.
First Of all comes the pitching staf:
McGraw has Christy Mathewson, jeff
Tesreau and 'Rube" Marquard as his
most reliable flrst-string men. On the
other hand, Stallings has accomplished
wonders with Dick Rudolph, Bill James
and Lefty Tyler. In both instances
the two above trios have borne the
brunt of the campaign in the battle Tor
the National League gonfalon.
Figures seldom lie, and to show that
the Boston team has slightly the better
Of the argument In the twir]ing line, the
complete records Of the leaders OF the
rival stats are appended:

GOLFING HINTS.
ny ~STRAIGHT DRIVE

DRIVING.-It has been said
that good putting is largely a
mental condition of confidence
that you can secure the result
you seek. 1t is equally so with
driving and other shots in golf.
For the drive, with ball teed ac-
cording to your own liking you
have only to keep the eye on the
ball" and HEAD stir to get sat
isfactory results. provided your
swing Is dependable.
Driving should be the easiest
stroke In the game, and IL is.
Distance is a mere matter OF cor
rect and speedy hitting acquired
by practice.
While not boasting regarding
the distance 1 can get from the
tees, 1 can boldly state that |
have less effort in getting the
ball away from the tee from i70
to 200 yards. straight down the
course, than in any other shot in
the game.

NO CRITICISM FOR JONES,
Ban Johnson Won't Say a Word
Against st. Louis Manager.

CHICAGO. August 24.-President B. B.
Johnson of the American League re-
turned from a short trip to the hunting
camp at Mercer. Wis, where Owner
Comiskey of the White Sox is rusticating
until the return of the South Side club,
September 10.
President Johnson declined to make
any significant comment on the action of
Fielder Jones In signing with the ST.
Louis Fede-als for term of three years.
jones' was removed from the White Sox
reserve list several months ago, and
therefore was a free agent SO far as Or
gained base ball is concerned.
Jones was a great field captain when
he led the White SoX,'' said Johnson
and seemed to get good results from his
men. He has been out Of the game now
for nearly six years. He was not bound
TO organized base ball in any way except
by his connection with the Northwestern
League, which l understand he has sew

Test Round First Day.

A week from today the entire field
will play a medal testing round Of thirty
six holes, the best thirty-two qualifying
for the championship. Match play will
begin Tuesday, the first and all the other
rounds being over the double circuit.
Last year at Garden City 1t was neces-
sary, in view Of the large field, to run of
an eighteen-hole round the first day, and
another, only sixty-four being eligible.
the morning of the second. The best
thirty-six hole scores were considered,
thirty-two qualifying, and the first match
round as run off at eighteen holes the
afternoon of the second day. Thus 1t
may be seen how different this years
tournament will be from last.
The distance at Ekwanok has been
6,Oi5 yards. and it was planned to have
that increased through a new green at
the first hole. This would have added
seventy-tive yards to the hole, but I'M
favorable weather has made 1t neces-
sary to use the original green. How
ever, through the simple expedient of
shifting the tees at the first, third, sew
enth, twelfth and eighteenth holes some
thing like seventy-two yards have been
added, making the total distance SILT
yards, distributed as follows:

AMATEUR GOLFERS TO
COMPETE FOR TITLE
0uimet, Evans and Travers Entered
in National Championship
at Ekwanok.

MANCHESTER, VT. August 24.-One
week from today the national amateur
championship Of the United States will
begin over the links Of the Ekwanok
Country Club. at Manchester, VT. In the
handicap list of the United States Golf
Association 21 names appear, counting
those recently added. so that only these
men are eligible to compete for this
greatly coveted title, held at present by
Jerome D. Travers of Upper Montclair.
1t is difficult at this time to give a
resume of the championship, for the en-
try list has not been made public In fact,
the list will not close until o'clock this
evening, and the names will not be given
out until tomorrow.
There are three names, however which
will be more Of an attraction than any
others. These are Trayers, Francis
Ouimet. who lost the open title last week.
and Charles Evans, jr.. of Edgewater, the
American who made the best showing
abroad this spring and who won the
western amateur title for the third time
week or two ago
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-08-24
ouimet Favorite in Field.

Travers is essentially match player.
Evans Is essentially medal player.
ouimet has shown his capabilities at
either, though his successes have come
through medal play. Evans showed that
be was In first-class form last week when
he finished only one stroke behind Walter
c. Hagen. winner OF the National open
golf championship. Travers has been
prone to keep out of the limelight since
his return from abroad, SO that his game
is largely matter Of conjecture. Ouimet,
on the other hand, is in fine fettle and
may be the most likely Of the field.
1t is really too early, even though
the championship begins a week from
today, to give much Of a line on the
players. Fred Herreshoff has twice been
runner-up for the national amateur title,
and he plays Ekwanok well indeed. Wal
ter J. Travis, the ''old man." has a.
sting left, for he likes Ekwanok. Oswald
Kirkby has done finely this season.
Jack Neville of California has done great
work, though in this section of the coun-
try he has not been seen in action.
John G. Anderson, runner-up last year,
is not to be overlooked.
Ouimet, perhaps, is the most promising.
for he plays Ekwanok we'll and has
learned to adapt himself to circum-
stances better than any others of his
age and short experience.
