BoxING-sPoRTs OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

Bob Gardner of HinsdaIe is the lone
hope Of the west in the national anna
teur golf tournament at Detroit The
Chicagoan today meets Max Marston
of Baltusrol in the semi-fnals, the
other match being between John G.
Anderson and Sheriff. Sherman, both
fasteners.
Never before in a tournament of
national scope has there been so
much uncertain playing. Golf that
would have been mediocre in previous
tournaments has been good enough
to carry three of the semi-finalists
this far. Medal scores, as a general
run, have been painfully high. Mars
ton won yesterday with two rounds
over 80. Every man but Gardner
went over 80 on one round.
Gardner has played the most con-
sistent golf of the meeting. He has
been up and in with every opponent
and played his short game with sure
ness and certainty of location. Few
of his tee shots have been poor, and
his recoveries show he has the tenn
permanent to discount temporary
setback. "
Should Gardner win today against
Marston he will be big favorite for
the honors. His win over Ned Saw
yer yesterday, and 6, insured him
a large following.

Eleven times the Sox have met the
Tigers in their own lair, and one
lone game fell to the Rowland peo-
pie. Why they we're not as generous
as usual and failed to kick that one
away is still mystery. The work
they have done in Detroit would new

poor when they had excellent chances
to cop. The scores show that.

us. After social chat we were taken
to the home of our old friends, Ser
geant Wetherly and wife, which was
to be our stopping place while in the
city. To say that we were sumptu.
ously entertained is putting it mild;
our only regret being that the Ser
geant was absent on duty out on the
border. At 800 next day we met
Joppa and Olympia Lodges in Joint
session, after which we were the
guests with Sergeant Henderson, w.
M, at the residence of Chaplain Prize
leou, where we had the pleasure of
meeting Mrs. Carter, wife of the Chap
lain of the 10th. Mrs. Carter was
Mary Moss of Knoxville, before her
marriage, while Mrs. Prieleou was
Ethel Stafford of Kansas City, Kansas.
At 7:15 we witnessed the Movie Show
of the 9th Cavalry recently installed
by the Chaplain at an outlay of sew
eral hundred dollars, after which we
delivered an address to the men of
the 9th in the Post hall.
Many of their officers were present
as well as many citizens of both races
from the city, and our effort was ap-
parently well received. During the
day We drove in an auto through the
| courtesy of Prof. Jno. Beck, along the
Mexican boundary and viewed the
trenches and barbed wire fortifica-
tions erected by Maytorena forces to
repel the expected assault of Carran-
"a men. More than 5000 Mexican sol
diers were in camp at Aqua Prieta
while on the American side were
about 1000 troops to prevent both fac
tions from trespassing on American
soil. Harry Langham, one of Kansas
| City's best trap drummers, is now
playing with the 9th Cavalry band un-
der Prof. Wade H. Hammond, which
is considered one of the best bands
in the army. Sergeant Henderson goes
with the band to the Philippines and
the boys regretted very much the loss
of Colonel Guilfoyle, who goes to the
4th at Honolulu after 2S years with
| the 9Th.
On Wednesday morning at o'clock
Chaplain Prieleou called at our resi-
dence with his elegant QUITO to carry
us to the station, and bidding good
bye to our excellent hostess we were
quickly whirled to the Southern Pa
cific station, where we found many OF
our friends waiting to give us 1T
ting send off. Sergeant Vrooman,
who has just retired after 80 years
of efficient service, brought us two
boxes of delightful Mexican cigars;
Sergeant Love, fruit and so forth, and
We left Douglass with sincere feel

Rev. H. A. Walls, pastor OF the A. n.
