Weirdest Chapter of 18th History
Somewhere to the valley on the right
was heard the Bala giant assaulting the
hills and uttering strange cries. Finally
his ball sailed out swallow-liiSe. II took the
clapboards Of the barn with n hollow thud
and bounced back. The partner laid his
ball hole-high and we bowed over our ball
to hold the pace But a 20-year-old heir
loom iron parted at the shot. The club
head flew further than the ball. The shaft
was 30 old It had decayed in the core
(Albi for the shot). We took the green In
g. Just like that, and the fight was at its
climax The enemy from Bala was sty-
mled by the barn, 60 feet high and 40 wide.
To prove how good all the golfers were.
he pitched his ball over all that storage
room, trees and so forth, to the centre OF
the gallery circled about the green. IL
was 20 yards, but his ball was dead to the
hole He took the credit of having played
tho hole in the most unique way of its
whole history.
We let him have credit, since he took 4.
His partner, after topping his drive. was
on In 3 and down in s. The partner took q
6 instead OF 4 and It was suddenly up
TO us to sink one OF those 12footers. Our
very wishbones quivered as we took that
stance The line was all right

bitter match Did the putt go DOWN. Ask

PERCY HAUGHTON
AND ASSOCIATES
MAY SELL BRAVES
Rumored in Baseball Circles
That Financial Burden
Is Too Heavy
NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN

NEW YORK, July 6.-Joe Villa in the
Evening sun says today: Among baseball
men the report is circulated that Percy r.
Haughton and his partners will sell the
Boston Braves at the end of the season
II Is understood that the Braves are losing
money and that the only chance TO break
even financially lies in the capture OF the
pennant and the subsequent melon'cutting
In the worlds series.
"Haughton and his associates, who pur-
chased the Braves from James +. Gafrney
last winter have discovered, 1t Is reported
that the burden is entirely too heavy But
of course, this is merely hearsay and there
may be no basis for the prevalent rumors
1T is a fact however, that the Braves
have not enjoyed the looked-for patronage
at home. Rain knocked the club out of two
HOLIDAYS and other dates that would have
been a source of much profit. The clubs
expenses are unusually great, due to the
rent of the big field in Boston and the
salaries OF the players. The gossips who
are busy telling this story seem to think
that II Haughton and company decide to get
out of baseball the Braves will revert to
Gaffney."
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the appended appeared In the
EVENING LEDGER January 10, 1916:
I'm buying the Braves. Percy Haugh-
toms syndicate purchased a rafting good
ball team. but one that is not worth any
where near S5700 The new owners Will
be under a terrific expense in renting the
wonderful new park owned by James Gafr-
ney. and not included in the sale II Haugh-
ton were to sell all his players ne could
not possibly get more than 100000. That
leaves $4,000 as the price OF the franchise,
and who would pay that without the play
ers?
1T Is no sure thing that the Braves will
not go to pieces as other great teams have.
Its salary list is enormous; the expense of
operating the team still greater. and with
out a pennant winner and good weather on
Saturdays and holidays Haughton and his
associates are likely TO be years and years
before they are even with the game. Gaff-
uey bought the franchise couple of years
ago for sls70O0, so It is easy to see that
he made no mistake i'm selling"

Moran's Price Prohibitive
Frank Moran does not seem worried over
his sad meeting with Jack Dillon in Brook
Ign last week. Despite the walloping he
received from the smaller man, the big
blond is convinced that II was n mistake
and wants n chance to prove 1t. In the
meantime, however, Francis Charles is seek
ing the coin of the realm, but keeps his
price just az high as it was before his
latest reverse.
Frank was offered match with Carl
Morris in Tulsa, OKLA on July rs with
$4,000 guarantee. Instead of swapping II
UP to prove that he still is good enough to
battle for the championship Moran wired
back that the purse was too small to be
considered and asked that the ante be raised
to $4,000. The chances are that Francis
Charles will lose both the match and the
$4,000, for the Western promoters are wise
birds and know that his drawing power Is
not so great as II was before the Dillon
scrap.
If Moran wants to get back into the good
graces of the public he is taking the wrong
course The only thing for him to do Is
to fight his way back instead OF putting a
prohibitive price on his services

Playing Poorly

The Tigers have been playing poor pail
for two weeks and are now in sixth place
with a percentage just below the 500 mark.
When Jennings sugging aggregation
climbed up almost on even terms with the
leaders two weeks ago ii was generally be-
lieved that they would remain right up
with the leaders for the remainder OF the
season, but the unexpected reverses at the
hands of the Browns and White SoN
started the Tigers on the downward path
and they did not stop skiddlng until they
hit sixth place.
AS Manager Mack plans to send Elmer
Myers, his youthful star. against the Tigers
this afternoon, il is likely that Jennings
will pick Harry Coveleskie to oppose the
Mackmen. Jennings does not anticipate
any trouble with the rest Of the Mack hurl-
ers, but is just a trihe uneasy about the
result OF the game Myers works against his
team

TIGERS AFTER CLEANUP
By CHANDLER d. RICHTER

Tyrus Cobb will be with us today The
famous Detroit outflelder, who threatens TO
retire from the game because the bleacher
ties have been abusing him, Is eligible TO
play again after being idle for three days
owing to a suspension handed out by Presi-
dent Johnson for the recent bat-throwlhs
incident.
When Ty was called out on strikes IN the
final game of the series between the Ilsers
and White Sox, he became peeved and hurled
his bat into the stand THIS bit OF peeVish-
ness cost him S25 and the team his services
for three days. The fine was or little con-
sequence, but Cobb's absence from the game
weakened the Tigers greatly for the series
with Cleveland.

hope TO make a clean sweep of the series
