The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-09-04

The invitation tournament which
will be held on the Country club.
course September %, "a and 25 is
looked upon by many as the means
of bringing several promising local
players into the championship list.
Among those who are expected to
show unusual class are Frank Griggs,
Charles Hobart, Wilbur Cole andEarl
Trobert. One seasons play shows
Griggs driving, approaching. and put
ting along with the class "a golfers
and his physique and temperament
seem adapted to fine game. Tro-
bert already is recognized as one of
the strong players of the club. The
ex-football captain of the Ichabods is
particularly spectacular in his long
shots. He is expected to show great
form in the coming event. Hobart and
Cole, although young players, have
been showing much skill recently and
if they are not able to break into
championship class this year they
should be right in line next year.
While speaking about the young
blood at the Country club one cannot
pass over the old guard without mem
ton. THERE'S Fassler, Merriam, Arm
strong, who won the club champion
ship, Felix. McNeal. Wilson, Morgan,
West, Snyder, Cole, Hammatt, Hum
phries, Woodward and Mohler. Any
one of these men is dangerous in a
match and each has a chance for
honors in the coming tournament.
Dr. Wilson Hobart, who won the in
vitation tournament two years ago,
and Harlow Hurley, runner up in the
state championship are being groomed
as championship possibilities. Hurley,
who is perhaps the best medal player
in the state, won this event last year
Robert Fullerton, chairman of the
greens committee of the Shawnee golf
club, has received subscriptions from
a number of the members of the club
who want to see a professional ex-
hibition match played on the course
Monday, September 20, prior to the
tournament at the Country club
However, the number so far received
will not be sufficient to insure such
a tournament on the Shawnee course.
Kick in if you want to see some good
matches.
A demure little girl. who is noted
for the pleasing expression that al
ways wreathes her face, stood at the
ninth tee on the Shawnee links re-
Gently and pouted. 1t was such a
pretty quicker for her lips but was a
sign of intense distress. Two men,
who had just finished playing the
eighth hole, approached the tee and
were astonished at the face the Young
lady made. They thought perhaps
she had broken a club and began to
sympathize with her and ask her what
was the matter.
you know L think / have bent my
brassie,'' the girl said, and her lower
lip dropped another eighth of an inch.
II just can't make the ball go straight
at all. Look here how the club
slants."
One of the men was good golfer
and while he explained a stance for
the girl to take the other man got
down behind the tee box to keep the
girl from seeing his smiles.

WEEkLYAvERACES
Few Changes in Western
League Standing This Week.
Manager Jackson Is Again
Leading Topeka Batters.

The weeks Western league aver
ages show few changes in the position
of teams or individual players, and in
dicatiOns are that the curtain will be
dropped Monday with most of the
clubs in the places they now occupy.
in club fielding and club batting
the same teams occupy the first di-
vision that did so last week. LeJeune
of Sioux City is the leading individual
batter with a per cent of 1858; Gal
loway of Denver is second with 344
and Forsythe of Omaha holds show
place with 1871.
jackson is again the leading Topeka
batter with an average of .313; Tyde-
man comes second with .309; Brown,
third, with 1907, and Lattimo ore, fourth,
with 800.
Pitching records at this time are
probably the most important. Mitchell
of Denver IS by far the leader, hav-
ing 20 games to his credit and only
losses chalked up against him Mo-
gridge of Des Moines has "a victories,
