Champion at F, four-time winner and Southern Golf championship. Nelson Me- Stea Whitney of New Orleans, is the peer of Dixie players-the "Chick Evans of the South. His winnings in the past, plus the remarkable form he is displaying on northern links, Is the basis for the hope of southern followers that he will figure prominently in the national amateur at Detroit.
 This will not be Whitneys first attempt to win the classic. He was the first southerner- enter the national amateur This was back in 1908 at Garden City, when he qualified for match play but was eliminated in the first round. In 1911, at Apawamis, he did not fare as we'll going out in the second half of the qualifying round. In 1912 and 1914 his efforts were fruitless though in the former tourna- ment he again reached the first round.
 Student of Game
 A student of the game with the ideal golfing temperament and a match player and driver of ability. Whitney has worked to correct his weakness in putting and his iron and mashie shots and has suc- ceeded to such an extent that only last week he smashed the Shenecosset course record with 10.
 Whitney began his career In 1902, when 1S years old. Four years later he finished runner up to Leigh Carroll in the south crn championships on the Audubon links The following year, at 1T, he won his first title in the Southern. repeated in 1908 at

SLOAN MAY MAKE
 WONDERFUL RECORD

Unless Tod Sloan meets with a re- versal that he has never before exper fenced, the Baron right fielder may es- tablish a wonderful record as a slug ger. The star Baronial swatsman has oeen playing professional ball for five years. In each of the five campaigns he has managed to hit over 300. In this respect he is without a peer in the Southern league, for even the re- doubtable Molesworth has gone three seasons without topping the three cen tury mark.
 As was the case with Dick Robertson and Bill Lindsay Sloan was ripened into a star in professional ranks by collegiate activity. Kings college, d small Tennessee college that gave Fly der Barr to the realm of baseball is responsible for Sloans rise For. when Tod played with Kings college he first gained repute as a swatsm$n.
 In 1911 he broke into professional baseball as a member of the Bristol llub in the Appalachian league. At the close of the season he cherished a 336 batting average. In 1912 he slugged over the 300 mark for a second suc- cessive season with Bristol and at : tracted the attention of the St. Louis Americans Subsequently, he was sold tc St. Louis for a neat sum.
 Feeling that he was not fully devel- oped to perform in the majors, the Browns relegated him to Montgomery in 1913. Despite fthe fact that the Southern was decidedly faster than the Appalachian, Sloan larrupped the ball at a .s01 clip and was recalled at the close of tho Southern league race. Aft CT experiencing a second yank upward the rangy out fielder was shunted to Nashville for the 1914 season. Only by the -narrowest margin did Tod qualify for the select circles last year, for hls 1914 record was exactly 300.
 With the Barons. Sloan Is continu-
 Ing his past record. In 113 games with Molesworth's henchmen, Sloan has driven out 1SS hits in 4S3 times at bat. In run getting he Is the leader among his mates, having spiked the platter 5s times. With his 1908 mark. Tod Is the foremost Baron batsman, if Moles- worth Is not considered In the run ming. He is sure to go to the St Louis Browns for his fourth trial this year.

SLUMP FAILS ID
 CYPRESS LINDSAY Baron Third Sacker Is One of Those Players Who
 Play to Win

Slumps are regarded as being especial ly oppressive on the spirit of a ball play CT, but it seems to have worked diff ferent spell over Bill Lindsay, the Baron third sacker. Throughout yesterday s game when the Pelicans grew menacine the cheery tones of Lindsay's voice could be heard issuing from the third corner. Indeed, the playing of the veteran third sacker has been late feature of the Barons playing.
 Lindsay was all over the field yester- day afternoon. In the first inning, he cracked the staunch heart of the mighty Clarence Smith with scorohing sinsie. In the seventh Bill hit an easy grounder to short. Although it seemed q sure out, he sped toward the bag at full speed, in accordance with his principle of run ming every hit out, and by virtue of Ed mondson's error he was safe at first, Advancing to second on Ellam's walk. Lindsay startled the spectators by pilfer- ing third ntatly.
 Afield, the third sacker handled every chance perfectly.
 If every Baron showed the spirit that William Lindsay is demonstrating, the direful slump would experience an early and timely death.

TRAP AND FIELD

But we digress. The main feature is the
 Grand American, and 1t will be worth
 going miles to witness.
 The trophies this year will be better
 than ever. No pains or expense have
 been spared by the committee in charge
 in the selection of the various cups and
 other prizes, and the contestants who are
 fortunate to win the smile of old Dame
 Success will surely find her souvenirs
 we'll worthy of acceptance. And incl
 dentally permit us to remark right here
 that the successful candidates will have
 to ''go some' in order to "bring home
 the bacon"
 This year should mark a battle-royal,
 judging from the seasons scores which
 have been made by some of the we'll
 known amateurs who are basking in the
 spotlight of publicity at the present time.
 According to daily newspaper reports and other sources of dope" on trapshoot-
 ing scores, the lucky winner of the cham
 pionship will have his work cut out for
 him. And this is as it should be, for trapshootlng is one of the sports where individual skill and prowess Is the only deciding factor And ones final score
 Is the supreme method of determining results.
 The committee on arrangements reports that everything will be in apple pie' order for the festive occa sion. Ten traps are being installed and it is conserva- lively estimated that this equipment will permit of the prompt handling of every event. In other words, this is merely another way of saying that each shooter
 will have his opportunity at the time scheduled and all waiting and delay will be obviated.
 Besides the championship Competition there will be number of other events of interest to both participants and spec
 tators. The main features will be limited only to amateurs. but the professionals have not been overlooked. These latter shooters will be enabled to give vent to their enthusiasm in especially arranged
 match shoots-each day witnessing
 number of individual matches between past masters of the sport whose names and skill are the topic of considerable discussion wherever good trapshooters meet.
 Another feature of the weeks sport Is the installation of a trap known as the Joker" land which is said to throw the most deceptive kind of targets. From the most reliable sources come wonderful tales of this unique contrvance. but-we must refrain from further explanation in deference to the committee. And so the mystery deepens. The Joker must re- main a secret--for the time being at least. There Is this much to add, how. ever, according to all accounts this trap Is bound to live up to its name and repu- fation.

Memphis when he eliminated no less a golfng parsonage than H. Chandler Egan in the final round, 1 to 5.
 Retiring for three years he returned in 1912 to finish runner up to Bill Stewart after an extra hole. He then won the title in 1913, defeating A1dredge in the finals, and in 1914, when Perry Adair was runner up. In his seventh try for the title Whitney finished runner up to Charles Dexter of Dallas at Atlanta in June
 Without Practice
 He entered the Southern this year with out practice and in poor physical condi- tion Two injuries. one to his right hand prevented any golf for two months and the other when he was struck beneath the eye by a driven ball two weeks before the championships, were handioaps which made his play at Atlanta nigh remark able.
 Returning from Atlanta he continued his golf and up to the time that he left for New London had made a number of near record rounds on New Orleans courses. At New London he has won a medal in an open tournament and smashed the pro and amateur record of the Shenecossett course with a 70.
 Whitney is married and the father of boy and girl. Mrs. Whitney is also an excellent player and with Nelson has won a number of mixed fours in New Orleans tournaments.
 Our society editor has given us a note on the peer of Dixie golfers which should go further to prove his versatility. He is an exquisite tangoist, according to the s. E.

This will allow our baseball game to. be pictured all over the country. The August IS woman's suffrage game will be the game that put the Southern league on the map.
