 reports of attacks and outrages on Amer 1 jeans continue to tricl1le through the lines. although no first hand accounts have 1 been brought in. All travellers coming l down from the capital are stripped of

 | comparatively large gallery fol- lowed the players from the first tee and observed the play down the field closely. Apparently the spectators had no effect on the players only once did Bush manifest impa tience or nervous ness. At the thirteenth hole he topped l his drive and was in trouble. On the next stoke he hooked to the left and
 
 self little on the next stroke and on the fourth his ball fell in a ditch. In the meanwhile Clark had made a magnif i icenl drive of 275 yards and was on the green in two strokes. and Bush gave up the hole
 Clark Talks Little l Many wondered at the. poor showing made by the Chattanooga golfer in the l final match and various reasons were | advanced Golf is cratic said Clark 1 himself, "and you never can tell what you will do." This was all the comment he would make on the match. | Others attributed it to fatigue and l nervous strain following the morning match with T. J. Watson. They were | the second to start play in the morn | ing and completed the seventeenth hole at 1 o'clock. At 250 the final match started, there being an interval of but an hour and 50 minutes.
 Mir. Watson pushed the Chattanooga man close and it required IT holes to decide the winner. At first it looked as if Clark would have an easy time, he halving the first hole and taking l the second, fourth, fifth and sixth. At the fourteenth hole Watson was down. He won the fifteenth and Clark man | ifested a little nervousness but took | the sixteenth and seventeenth. ! In the morning Clark was putting &C., curately and the luck with with him {; he wen. In the afternoon conditions were reversed; he lost. As he said, That is golf"
 | Reuben Bush received the congratula- | tions of his friends on his victory mod estly. Mir. E6sh plays without hat or | cap and his face is burned a deep brick
 red; consequently 1t was impossible to
 say whether or not he blushed. Immediately after the finish of the
 match R. H. Thach telegraphed Mrs
 Bush in New Orleans the news of her husbands victory. It is said that Mrs Bush is as enthusiastic gdsfer as Is | her husband.
 The Roebuck Springs cup is the first l trophy that MT. Bush has won in Bir-
 mingham. He received cordial invitations | to come to Birmingham again. It seems that after all the Chattanooga
 players carried off the major part of the l honors. They won the team cup, the medal cup. the runner-up prize in the | first flight and the runner-up prize IT
 the second flight.
 | Birmingham secured the w. w. Craw- | ford cup, the East Lake cup. the run
 ner-up cup in the third flight. the Roe buck Springs Junior. and the handicap | cup.
 | Montgomery was strong in the junior competitions, winning the East Lake
 Junior and the Wilson Springs Junior as | well as the runner-up prize in the fourth | flight.
 Atlanta secured two cups. New Orleans | one, and Knoxville one.
 Visiting golfers last night were busy planning to return home. and 1t is prop 1 able that only few will remain in Bir- mingham by tonight. The Atlanta party left last night in a specail car over the 1 Southern. The Chattanooga golfers will | go home early this morning over the Queen and Crescent. while Reuben Bush
 will leave for New Orleans today. A few of the Montgomery visitors went home last night, but the majority will
 probably be here until tomorrow. Considerable interest was manifested yesterday in the S6-hole contest between
 professionals which will be played on the | Roebuck course today. The following will

 Moody Mann, Atlanta; Stewart Maiden
 Atlanta; c. w. Hall, Birmingham; J. M Dugal, Montgomery; H. H. Barker, Bir- mingham, and T. D. Thompson, Anniston.
 A large gallery will probably follow the
 play.
 One of the prettiest matches of the
 tournament was played yesterday in the
 final of the third flight between E. M l Tutwiler, Jr.. and R. H. Baugh. The lat 1 ter went down in defeat, but it required p holes to decide the winner. All visitors have spoken very com plimentary of the course and the way il
 is laid out. 'sIt is wonderfully laid.
