fortune, consisting of $4,000 worth
of stocks. bonds. jewels, gold and
plate. in his garden at Malines. before
he fed from that city, has just re-
ceived word from the United States
consul at Malines that his property is
safe and has been taken under the

the buried treasure in the garden was
not disturbed.
Some time after he reached London
the professor went to the American
embassy here, gave them detailed plan
of his house and garden and told them
Where his treasure was hid. The
search was successfully carried out by
the American consul at Malines and
the property is now registered in his
name, pending its release from Ger

were played and Walter johnson gets
credit for the second victory of the

bold could straighten up and mako his
throw.
Joe Boehling was called on to do the
pitching again. 1t was his second start
In three days. but he stayed longer than
Tuesday, when he was driven to cover
in the second round. He was at his best
today and had no trouble in holding
the Sox to six hits in the eleven and
a fraction innings that he pitched. OPP
posed to him was "Reb'' Russell, and he
also was in his best pitching clothes,
for he held the Washington hitters to
seven hits through the thirteen rounds.
The weather was cool and overcoats
were needed by the spectators. The
players were in no danger of freezing,
however, for they kept on the move
from the start to the finish of the con-
test. Only one Washington player
reached second base in the first nine
innings Of the game. Foster got hit
and was sacrificed to second by Milan,
but he was the only man to get on base
at all until the tenth round.
The Sox were very little better than
their opponents in getting on. Felsch
got two-base hit to start the second
inning, but he did not advance. MUIR
ply reached second in the sixth after
making a hit and taking advantage of

Each side scored run in the twelfth.

the result of wild heave by Joe jack

the ball and heaved it toward second,
but it had such force that 1t rolled
right through four Sox players who
were backing up and landed in the
White Sox dugout. The ball was re-
covered in time to hold Milan on third,
but the decision of the umpires was
that he was entitled to go all the way
home in spite Of a big protest from the
local players. The next two men for
the Nationals were easy outs.

WESTERN GOLF TEAM BEATS
EASTERN PLAYERS AT DETROIT
Best in Foursomes, 3 to 2, and All Even, 5 to s.
In the Singles-Ouimet Downs Evans
In Nineteen-Hole Battle.

DETROIT, August 27.-The team of
golfers representing the western section of
the United States yesterday won the first
of what are planned to be annual team
matches between the two sections of the
country. In the four-ball matches in the
morning they were victorious by three con-
tests to two, while the play in the singles
was an even division at five matches each,
making a total of eight matches for the
west against seven for the east.
The afternoon play began late, as some
of the contestants, notably Francis Oui-
met, did not arrive in the morning until
IL 80 o'clock, and it takes a good three
hours for a round Of the course. 1t had
been expected that jerome D. Travers
would play No. 1 for the eastern team, but
owing to the fact that he had a severe
cold, which makes breathing rather diff
cult, it was decided to have Ouimet head
the list and play against the western
amateur champion, Chick Evans The
match attracted almost the whole body
of golfers who were not playing.
For the first few holes the golf was
very even, but at the turn Evans led by
two holes with the very fine score Of SO,
this week Try as he might the amateur
champion could not reduce the lead He
had never seen the course before yester-
day morning and knew very little how to
judge the distances, which require PAINS
taking effort.
Evans Has Nice Lead.
Therefore when Evans laid full
ma SHE shot dead to the hole at the
fifteenth hole and became 8 up with
only three holes to play the members
of the gallery started toward the club
house. But not those who know of
what stuff Ouimet's courage is made
They hung on and were delighted to
see the amateur champion win the next
hole with par and take the seven
teenth with a par 4, Evans catching a
bunker on his second.
Then all rushed to the home green,
IA yards away. to see the finish 1t
looked like a sorry finish for Ouimet
He hit the drive too far and was in a
bunker over the green, while Evans lay
less than twenty feet from the hole
After little figuring Ouimet pitched
out to within dozen feet or so of the
pin. All Evans had to do was to lay
his fairly short putt dead. Instead he
was feeble q might almost add, as
usual and brought up three feet away.
1t was do or die for Ouimet. He putted
boldly, and the ball went in without a
