though Gilbert Nichols needed eleven
strokes more yesterday afternoon than
he took Wednesday, under similar con
ditions. he nevertheless captured first
prize in the Shawnee Clubs annual
open tournament. The Wilminetonian's
grand total of four rounds was 295, to
2a9 for Walter Hagen, Rochester, ma
tional open champion.
The best performer OF the day was
Wilfred Reid Seaview, who with a
seventy-two slipped into third place
with 302 strokes. Michael Brady, Mas
sachusetts open champion, after ba d
second round. moved up to fourth posi-
tion with 305, while Louis Teller, Ca

Hagen. had to content himself with
tielng for fifth place. along with young
Tom Anderson. Montciair. James NJ.
Barnes. Whitemarsh, western cham
pion. finished sixth.
1t was but a fairly satisfactory show
ing for the homebreds. as Hagen and
Brady were the only members of the
self-taught brigade to land among the
first seven men.
A lot of talent fell just outside the
breastworks, including Tom Mcnamara,
who holds the Philadelphia open cham
pionshp. among other distinctions:
George Sargent and Fred Mcleod both
ex-national open titleholders, and Isaac
Mackie, who captured this event here
last year. Young Jose Sylvester, the
New York Italian, who has worked up
from a caddie and was just outside the
leading trio at luncheon. fell back in
the afternoon with an eighty.
Gilbert Nichols tailed fine seventy
four yesterday morning. equalng his
showing on the first round. Consider
ing the strong wind. seventy-four was
as good as two or three strokes lower
would have been Wednesday. In the
afternoon he went out steadily in thlr-
ty-eight. one stroke above par, but with
a six at the tenth began to waver. Then

at all surprising if this would end NC.
Leans career, for ball clubs are not
picking up players who violate the
training rules and are seldom in con-
dition TO do themselves justice. NC
Lean has been suspended and sent
home to New York.
There is one play in base ball which
has not been tried for many years. IL
is the fake passed ball worked by
catchers in the old days, when there
was a man on third. 1t was the plan
to carefully tuck the ball away IN tne
big glove, then swing around as II II
bad gotten away from him. Many a
cher fell for the trick and sent the
runner home. only to be touched out
when he reached there or caught be-
tween the bases and run down.
Doc Cook. the awkward outfielder of the
Yankees. who has been doing some ex-
tremely timely hitting of late, has loomed
up in a new role. He is now challenger
for base-stealing honors and already has
passed his teammate, Fritz Maisel. in
this respect.
Cook stole four sacks during the De-
troit series, and, incidentally, also scored
three of the eight runs his team got dur
ing the visit Of the Tigers. Cook is am
bilious to lead the league in stolen bases

and he seems on a fair way to accom-
plish this feat.
Just how long the Federal League will
last is one of the puzzles that is confront
ing fans and club owners in organized
base ball.
The losses incurred by the new league
must be keeping some one decidedly
busy making both ends meet. In Bal
timore the situation is really desperate
and it would not be at all surprising If
the club were taken away from that
city and placed elsewhere in the hope
of cutting down the losses. So weak is
the attendance in Baltimore now that
the club is losing money hand over fist
This same condition exists in Newark
and Buffalo, while Brooklyn is not
breaking even and the clubs in St
Louis and Kansas City are among the
losers. Chicago is not doing more than
breaking even. Just where all the
losses is a mystery. Angels are not SO
plentiful now as they used to be.
The Boston Red Sox always have been
able to win a majority of their games
from the Tigers. For some unaccount-
able reason the Carrigan forces have
something on the Jennings machine
and no one knows it better than Jen-
nings and his players. That is why
first place again until he reaches Phil
adelphia. He knows the White Sox are
not going to have hard time in New
York and that the Red Sox will be
troublesome to him in Boston SO he
hopes to make clean sweep in Phil
adelpha, where, of course. the White
Sox also will have to go later on.

We're also the story at the thirteenth
and seventeenth. Good putting in be-
tween did not save him a seventy nine,
but his great second round. cutting the
record four strokes. enabled him to
lead Hagen by just that number of
strokes on the seventy-two holes. Ha-
gen was wild on direction in the morn
ing, and so took seventy-seven. despite
skillful recovery. In the afternoon he
was back to his seventy-four stride,
made on three rounds.
Teller. while fairly steady. was off
form all day, taking seventy-elght in
the morning and eighty-one in the
afternoon Wilfred Reid. had he not
trimmed at two holes, would doubtless
have tied Hagen.

umns, namely: Total for Wednesdays

Newspaper devotees will miss fami-
liar item in the press that has been
printed at regular intervals each sum-
mer for six years. They will not read
that Speaker Champ Clark has lost
eight thousand dollars because he had
to cancel his Chautauqua engagements.
since the Speaker declared that it was
his duty to remain in Washington when
Congress was in session. Some of
the Senators get the same sort of mem
ton, and the Representatives prove
their greatness to their districts by
letting it be known that the Chau-
tauqua' were losing their best attrac-
tions because the members were so i'm
portant to affairs at Washington. There
are five hundred vf these statesmen
who are free from attendance at the
sessions in Washington this year, and
if most of them secure assignments
they may cut down the market price,

a Toast to Colorado.

Alva A. Swain. associate editor OF

toast to Colorado at the banquet ten
dered Governor Carlson, Speaker
Stewart, Mr.. Swain and others by the
chamber of commerce at Grand juno
ton recently.
when | think of what we are ex-
periencing in the way of turmoil, dis.
cord and trouble one year ago and OF
what we are enjoying today in the
way of prosperity and of what l am
sure thei future has in store for us, |
am glad to express an idea in the ma
ture of a toast to our dearly beloved
state of Colorado. AS for me it is
the state that have chosen for my
native land. The state in which my
children were born and from whose
midday sun and cooling breezes they
are receiving their health and vigor.
The state the earth of which is the
winding sheet of the ashes of my
mother The state on one spot OF
which is a little cottage in which to-
night are two boys kneeling in pray
of us call il Home" The state un-
der the mantle of whose grass and
beneath the shadows of whose noun
tains | desire that my bones shall
wither and decay. State OF all states
Bounded on the north by the light
that sheds itsl rays around us on the
day of our birth which rays are ever
tinted with the rejecting rainbow col
ors of the Aurora Borealis.
Bounded on the east by the peace
of restful nights sleep and the
cheering hope that comes with the
rising sun.
Bounded on the south by the
strong light of MONDAY and the gen
tie flower perfumed zephyrs that float
across the gulf from the tropics.
Bounded on the west by the
knowledge of life well spent and
bv the evening shadows that come
with the setting sun, the reccding
rays OF which / trust, Your Excellen-
cy. mark the paths of us all to the
Kingdom of Heaven"
