APPEAL FOR 0UIMET
Woodland Golf Club Wants Reopen of Former Champion Ouimet's Ci What the Charges Are.

Newton, Mass, July IA state ment of the position of the Woodland Gulf club in regard to three of it's members who have been declared pro- fessionals by the United States Golf association is contained in letter senta by Irving J. French secretary of thea club, to all clubs connected with the national body. The members are Francis Ouimet, state amateur cham pion and former national open title holder; Paul Tewkesbury, and J. H. Sullivan, Jr.
 They are charged with having vio- lated the amateur rule by engaging in a business which includes the selling of golf supplies. The letter asks all other clubs to join the Woodland club in a request that a special meeting of the national association be held at an early date to consider an appeal from it's decision and to determine whether any change should be made in the amateur rule.
 '"The cases" the letter says, "do not arise on account of the language of the rule itself. Nothing which they have done or are charged with having done comes within it's phraseology. The trouble has arisen out of an interpre- tation of the rule by the executive committee. It is our desire to lay the entire matter before the association itself, hoping that we may secure a reversal of the action of the commits tee and also secure such a modifica- tion of the rule as will make it's mean ing clear and it's operation fair"

(Re-entered for the present Occasion.) There's the tramp of a ghost on the
 low winds tonight: An echo that drifts like a dream on
 it's way; There's the blur of a spectre that
 leaves for the fight, GraVe-risen at last from a long van
 ished day; There's the shout and and the call
 of grim soul unto soul. As they rise, one by one, out of death s
 shadowed glen. To follow the bugle-the drum s
 untitled roll Where Ghosts of the Alamo gather
 again. I hear Crocketts voice as he leaps
 from the dust And waits at the call for an answer
 ing hail; And Bowie caresses a blade red with As deep in the shadows he turns to
 the trail; Still lost in the darkness that covers
 their sleep Their bodies may rest in a sand
 mounded den, But their spirits have come from the
 red, starry steep Where Ghosts of the Alamo gather
 again. You think they've forgotten-because
 they have slept The day Santa Anna charged in with
 his slaves, Where five thousand men on a bare
 hundred swept And stormed the last rampant that stood for their graves? You think they've forgotten; but
 faint, from afar, Brave Travis is calling the. roll of
 his men, And a voice answers "Here." through
 the shadows that bar, Where Ghosts of the Alamo gather
 again. There's a flash on a blade-and you
 thought it a star? t There's a light on the plain-and you
 thought it the moon You thought the wind echoed that
 anthem of war? Not knowing the lit of an old border
 tune; Gray shade after shade, stirred again
 unto breath, Gray phantom by phantom they
 charge down the glen Where souls hold a hate that is
 greater than death Where Ghosts of the Alamo gather
 again. Here is one tip off on the compad strength of the different America1 league clubs more eloquent than any massive bale of StatiStiCs-the BrOWB in seventh place have been able to win nearly half their games-te travel at a clip well above 400.

Boston, July 1.-There was no cause for complaint from any Bostonian re- garding the umpiring at yesterdays game between the Dodgers and the Braves which the home team won by to 2.

No one has put in claim to Boss Stallings' offer of $50 to any fan who could mention an instance during the past four years when Nal did not decide against Bos- ton when it was nip and tuck.

Just as the Tigers were upon the verge of having the American league race sewed up they bumped into the Browns. Whereupon a great unravel- ling process took place.

,MCGraW'S Men Win Over Premier
 Hurler, Through TeSreau

New York, July 1.-When the Giants behave there is simply no end to their politeness. They entertained the Phillies in most elaborate fashion yesterday afternoon, even going so far as to excuse AleXander-Or better, making the champion pitcher of the National league excuse himself--in the fifth inning. The score was to 3 for a change in favor of the Giants. The sixth home victory of the year made the rubber of the five game se- cies a prize for this afternoons holi- Jay battle.
 A red letter day, forsooth was this Whirling, sWirling pastime in the shade of Coogans rock. It seethed and hissed with action and threat cned to boil over on Big Jeff Tesreau several times during the two hours and more that it took the Ozarks mas tOdOn to Subjugate three of Morans sterling boxmen. But what most ap- pealed to the crowd was that unusual spectacle of Alexander the Great talk ing himself out of the fray. Some times the Giants beat the Quakers Once in a while they take the meas ure of Alexander. But New York established 8 precedent when it :..lde Alexander quit under fire.

PRISONERS ABUSED,
RE|CHSTAC IS TOLD

Berlin, Nov. 9. - The reichstag dis.
cussed the treatment of war prisoners
Prince Won Schoenaich of the National
Liberal party, the Overseas News
agency says, made report on the pro-
ceedings of the committee which con
sidered that question as follows:
with great sadness and profound
indignation the committee took notice
of the great sufferings of Germans
made prisoners.
This is especially true of Russia
where numerous cases of brutal treat
ment have been proved, and also in
British camps, from which there are
numerous complaints. Prisoners are
often forced to work under degrading
conditions.
Frequently they must toll in 40 de
grees of cold or under a burning sun
and often physical brutality Is added
to this The food in many places is
most scanty, deficient and badly pre-
pared"
Prince Won Schoenaich acknowledg
ed the kind exertions of the Holy See
to improve the fate of the prisoners

ported that Villa bandits had looted
Santa Rosalia and had impressed
