time by winning the fifth annual open

ing the best score of the tournament,
with Il, in yesterday mornings round.
Jack Campbell of the Old York Road

hard luck. At the end Of the first day
Campbell finished up in third place. but
he was SO seriously affected by the heat
that he was unable to play yesterday
At the end of the first round yesterday
morning Walter Hagen and Gilbert
Nichols were tied for first place at 225
strokes. Nichols played wonderful golf
in the morning round. When he took
38 strokes for the first nine holes his
chances did not look particularly rosy.
but coming in he shot wonderful golf
and finished I'D with 81 strokes for the
last nine holes. giving him a II for the
round. The first day Hagen got two
75s, and yesterday morning he repeat
ed the performance. Hagen and Nichols
were paired in the afternoon round,

ST LOUIS August 1o.-Manager
Griffith has claim filed with President
Ban Johnson that he has prior claim on
Howard Ehmke. the pitcher whom he
purchased from Los Angeles winter be-
fore last and who seems to have de-
veloped into a competent pitcher with
the Syracuse club of the New York
State League. Griffith is confident he
will be awarded to him and that the
sale to the Detroit club will be set
aside.
Griffith has evidence which gives him
the best of the case. Ehmke may be-
come a great pitcher. He has shown
remarkable Improvement this year,
having won twenty-five games and lost
but five He is just twenty-one years
old Griffith is certain that he will be
eth the Nationals this fall.
Another player who is to join the Ma
sionais this fall is Meuosky of the Min
is h..t twenty-five years old. and very
Jast and a hitter of great ability. He
is a right-handed batter.
Jack Ryan has been looking Menosky
over and made most favorable report
on him to Griffith. He will report this
fall and be in most of the games after
the American Association season comes
TO an end.
He and Ehmke should make a big
difference in both the outf1eld and the
pitching staff.

Fielder Jones was presented with
silver bat by the society, which held
its feat here just before the game.
Sam Rice pulled an awful bone when
he stood ten feet from the third bag

be the finishing end of the triple play.
Rice usually is wide awake, but he
was sound asleep on this occasion.
There were $4,000 paid admissions
yesterday, but the Washington club did
not share in the receipts, because the
club agreed to fixed price some
months ago so that the tuberculosis
Society could be benefited by the game.
