TO pick a quarrel AS a witness to the whole
affair, we would say that Weeghman won
quick decision without even going to the
mat
The conversation was such that it would
not bear repeating but ii suflices to say that
Weeghman left Zimmerman standing be-
wildered and promptly informed him that
he would see to 1t that he did not take part
in worlds series this season, Zimmerman
having accused the Cub owner of trying to
hold up the deal until after September 1 80
that he would not be eligible to take part in
the series according to the National Com
mission ruling.
During the course of the conversation. II
one could call it such, Weeghman informed
Zimmerman that II 1t was possible and that
otner magnates were not such "boneheads"
to bid for him, he would chase him out of
the game.
Pat Calls Of Deal
Manager Moran was not sleeping during
this little battle of words, VIII ch took place
beneath the stand, and aided by Weegh-
man, who did not want to favor Zimmerman
by trading him into some worlds series
money, called off all negotiations, knowing
that Zimmerman was looking out only for
himself and was not considering his future
manager or team mates.
There was great rejoicing in the PhilIy
camp last night when 1t was learned that
Zimmerman had been traded TO the Giants
The Phils are happy family, with the
greatest harmony prevailing, and to man
they believe that they can and will win the
pennant without Zimmerman and are glad

Manager Moran also breathed a sigh of
relief today and said that he was glad he
did not have to part with any of the boys,
as he felt certain that Alexander and RlXey
would pull them through.

| THERE will be few absentees from the

national golf championship at Merion
Word has Just come to Howard W. Perrin,
vice president of the United States Golf As
ISOLATION, to this effect from the president
Of the Western Golf Association.
The western delegation will be headed by
no less lights than Chick Evans, United
States open champion. besides all the good
players Of the western States, there will
be number of more or less obscure stars
who will appear in these regions for the
first time.
A complete list Of westerners, added to
the assurances of the presence of the best
talent Of the South and the Atlantic sea-
board, makes II certain that the champion

Some Reason
One reason for the big list of westerners
is explained by the fact that the champion.
ship of the Western Golf Association was
held this year In California, a rather remote
spot, even for most OF the westerners.
For this reason most OF the stars on the
other side Of America have not had a
chance to play In a big golf event this year
and have saved UP their vacations, well
as expenses, for the national, choosing II in
preference to the western.
Inhabitants of the real Far West were
under little trouble In entering the western

Frantic Scoring

Oswald Kirkby, pride of the Metropolitan
district, and favored son of the east for
the title, has had several rounds at the
Merton Club in the last few days, and
startled the gathering this week when he
shot 10 over the east course. This is
the best amateur score made on the main
links Of the club, so far as could be
learned.
1t was made, of course, from the short
tees and under idea conditions. with per-
haps not every one of the puts holed out,
but It shows the type Of golf the New
Yorker is shooting. His card. as CLEANED
