Harry Lancaster, the Pittsburgh sport

was learned that the committee of the
National Amateur Golf Association had

the scene of the title matches next

until the latter part of this month. the
tournament in 1917 will be staged at
the Oakmont Country Club. With the
large number of star golfers from this
end of the state, and with the ma jority
of them somewhat familiar with the
course at Oakmont, Pittsburgh stands a
good chance of having at least one of

a championship meet of this kind, al

COBB STILL BEST EVER. y

For the first time since 1906 there is
a new leader of the American League
in batting. iris Speaker has beaten
out Ty Cobb. A comparison of the 1916
record of Cobb with his mark of last
season is one that shows a decrease.
He is not hitting as high. has not
stolen as many bases. and in scoring
runs has fallen below his mark. Cobb,
says the Pittsburgh Leader. is great
ball player. even If his record has
fallen, and far better than anything
else in the major leagues today.
He is SO far. superior to any of his
rivals that he can take several more
big drops and still be out in front
Although Cleveland paid s57,5o0 for
Speaker. and Iris has led Cobb in hit
ting this year, there Is no question of
which man is, the more valuable to
base ball team. Cobb is faster. uses
his brain more, and his outguessing of
the opposition would make him more
valuable on ofense even IL he hit 100
points below Speaker.
The leaders of the American League
are far superior to the leaders in the
National circuit. Since Honus Wagner
fell from his lofty position no one has
come up to keep a comparison between
the topnotchers of the two circuits.
