Young Ouimet Did
Not Want to Play
For the Open Title

BOSTON, Jan. 31.-His golf clubs put
away for the winter, Francis Ouimet,
OF Brooklinc, the youthful amateur
whose victory IN the United States open
golf championship surprised the golf
ing world. told friends few days ago
how nearly he missed winning tho title.
Il sigh now to think how l might
never have had o chance at the cham
pionship,' said Ouimet. IT did not want
to compete in the United States Golf
Associations championship tournament.
This was because l felt l had no chance
to win. To close friends who spoke
to me about entering. said I would
rather learn something of the game
from the prominent golfers who would
play. l said l would not be an en-
trant.
Later, during the tournament at At
lantic City, President Watson, of the
association, asked me why I had not
sent in my entry for the championship.
and l replied: What's the use of a
player of my standing attempting to
compete in such an event. don't want
to make a boob of myself
:" That's all right the president said,
but we are trying TO get a good entry
of amateurs, so Just hand in yours
Il did so, but as ! turned away |
said to myself, I'm doing this under
protest.
The rest is recent golf history.

That the American League s7oceed-

that the Federals can do the same

Hedges Prepares to

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S1.-Announcement
was made at baseball headquarters that
George Stovall, former manager Of the
Browns, had been sent a Brown con-
tract.
Robert Lee Hedges is in no wise dis
posed to admit that he hasn't still a
full and valid claim on the services of
the husky first baseman

Colonel Hedges last night. at is up to
him either to sign or return It"

he Is lost TO the Browns and beyond

they claim signed Fed contracts with

Civil War Veteran
Wants to Hook Up.
In l00-Mile Walk

DETROIT. MICH. Jan. Sit may
be regarded as something of q stunt
for any man to travel 100 miles in
"a hours on no other vehicle than his
two feet, but when the athlete who
proposes this test Is veteran OF a war
so years back in history, 1t becomes
a real marvel
This. however, is what s. G. Barnes.
OF Pittsburg, better known as "Old
Soldier" Barnes, says that he will do
at the coming encampment of the G.
A. r. In this city. He has issued a
sweeping challenge to race a team of
ten veterans 100 miles while the old
soldiers are gathered here next Au-
gust, wishing to cover the whole cen
tury'' himself while his rivals go only
ten miles each. The 100 miles must be
covered in "a hours.
Barnes certainly is liberal with his
conditions, too. for he says he will let
three of his ten rivals be Spanish War
veterans instead of survivors of the
Civil War, and he doesn't bar Colonel
J. L. Smith, of Highland Park, the
speed champion Of the G. A. r.
