Bakers reputation as home-run
hitter, player whose batting feats have
been the talk Of fandon all over the
United States, has been brought about
IN rather unusual way. Other players
have made as many home runs on the
average as has Baker. during their big
League career. Other players have made
home runs in the world SERIES vet none
has acquired the fame that clinss to
the name of Baker. The answer-that
is easy. Baker made his hits in the big
series in the crises. His home runs in
variably came at time when his club
appeared beaten. His drives proved the,
turning point in the game changing an
parent defeat into glorious victory BY

All kinds of combinations have been
suggested IN connection with improving
Chevy Chase course. and for more than
a year now its members have been in a
state Of uncertainty regarding it. 1t is
believed that the golf committee has now
decided upon definite plan to be fol-
lowed and that from now on it's efforts
VIII be spent toward improving the
course as ii now lies. 1t seems to be the
concensus of opinion among the mem
bers that by trapping and bunkering
little more along plans laid out by
competent golf architect the course can
be made to meet all the requirements
OF a standard one. Minor changes WILL
OF course. be necessary from time to
time, but radical changes of a more or
less experimental nature, which in order
TO be put into effect sometimes require
the undoing of months work, should be
passed up and il is understood that
this is to be the policy OF the authorities
in the future.

front in his match with the New York

esting selection of these games will be
found below.
The following letter has been receive
ed from the local master, Norman T
Whitaker:
Washington. d. C., March II. 1915.
Chess Editor of The Star:
Sir: My attention has been called to
an article in the chess columns of a
local morning paper. on March l..
1916. The article is entitled Calls Mar
shall Champion" and is an exposition Of
the craftsmanship of +. J. Marshall as
chess player and of his wonderful
record as chessmaster.
This article. which states that Mar
shall. the United States champion, has
no equal as tournament player in the
world, is too absurd and should not pass
unchallenged. L wish to present the
following data to show that this is
not correct in fact. Marshall does not
any player in the world From data
which I have at hand, which are fairly
accurate, I find that since 1900. six
other chess masters have a better score
No. Ill
Capa blanca has won .7S9: Lasker, 40:
Rubenstein, .739; Maroczy. .637: Tar
| rasch, .636: Schlecter, sol, while Mar
shall has won only 5S5 in tournament
play. The first tournament in which he
lparticipated-the London tournament.
1S99-was not masters tournament
There are number of other chess
masters who also have a better record
| than Marshall. whose names have not
entered upon this list, as Alechin. ct
al 1t also may be noted in passing
that Lasker's percentage of wins since
1899 is much better than his percentage
of wins since 1900.
From the above figures. ! fail to see
| just how the author of the aforemen-
toned article calls Marshall the great
est chess tournament player the world
has ever known. j think the chess
readers of your paper and the chess
public of Washington would like to un-
derstand further how he intends to
substantiate the facts he has recited.
Yours truly,

going to be between Cooper and

not know, and Of course we did not,
that the game was yet young and
many changes could take place in four
months in South Carolina campaign,

he should seem to think that these two
we're the only candidates worth men

if they were the only ones in the run

HITCHING YARD

The question of a hitching yard or
lot for the farmers has been one that
ras agitated the people Of the COM
munity for some years. The effort has
been made to get it removed from the
public square as much for the benefit
OF the people who hitch in order to
get their stock in a better and more
convenient place as we'll as to leave
the square open for traffic The
Blease lot in Main street has been
used for some time, being generously
given by the owner, Mr.. C. G. Blease,
without cost. 1t is convenient and
easy of access. 1t is probable that
this lot will be sold and it would be
a good thing for the town to purchase
it. There is a fine spring in the midst
o. the lot and by the building of a
pavilion over this spring and cement
ing the spring it would make an ideal
resting place for the people who come
to town in buggies and wagons and
even in automobiles. If it could be
purchased at reasonable price it
would be a 6ne investment for the
city.
