The six-stroke lead had vanished
then, and II was just about that time
that word was brought to Anderson
that Brown had finished with a total
of 307. Will saw at a glance that to
tie he must needs finish the last nine
in par.
This would have unnerved almost
any one else, but Anderson never
knew what it was to quit. He stuck
out his chin q little further. and from
there to the end never made q mis-
take. On the home green he had a
long putt for a three to win, but he
missed by a hairs breadth, SO that
the pair ended in q tie at 307. Stew
art Gardner, the next man, was eight
strokes away. In the eighteen-hole
playoff over q course heavy with
rain. Anderson won, 50 to his oppo-
nent's 81.
Feather Indicates Victory
During the tournament proper
Brown was in fine fettle, as chipper
as any schoolboy. At the outset he
stuck a red feather IN his hat, re-
marking to Jack Hobens:
"If We see the feather in front
Jock, you'll know Pm goin' fine; II
it's on the side twill mean only fair
but If it's back-but it's mo- goin to
be back"
Throughout the tournament, es-
peclally on the last day, Davy always
had the signal pointing straight
ahead.
Although old enough to take part
in a seniors tournament the ever
green Brown declares he feels as
young as ever. At one time he Sc
cured a place at Fox Hills, but he
only lasted long enough to draw his
breath, for on occasions Davy
thought more of other things than
Of golf.

games are to be played here with the
Volunteers. champions of the South

Thus far the weather has been all

ResembIed Bush Leaguers.
More than 5000 saw the Griffmen
make monkeys out OF Christy Mathew
sons Red Legs yesterday. There
were times when the National
Leaguers resembled bushers and the
finaI score, 8 to 1, just about tells the
difference between the two CLUBS.
The most promising thing about the
game was the apparent rising TO the
emergency by the Grifts. Playing
agaist Southern League teams for
two days, they looked only little
better than their opponents. Against
a major league club they still man
aged to look better, with q much
wider margin.
johnson Il In Form.
johnson gave one hit, a single by
Chase, in the three frames he toiled
and was immeasurably superior to
Fred Toney, selected to oppose him.
Only nine DaIsmeu faced the Kansas
Thunderbolt and the big crowd gave
johnson a loud welcome when he came
to bat In the third.
Jim Shaw. too, was vastly improved
over his last appearance. He had ex-
cellent speed, a fair curve. and good
control. He passed two batsmen, but
was never in serious trouble.
George Du Mont worked himself
out warming up and lacked strength.
However. he gave one hit, a single,
by Sueto, which sent Griffith over
with the Reds lone tally in the ninth.
Nick AItroc< Played.
When the GrIffmen obtained a three
run lead in the third inning, removing
much of the tenseness OF the contest,
Nick Altrock began playing around
and soon owned the big crowd, which
was struggling all over left and CEN
ter fields. He showed most OF his
reportory OF laugh makers and the
fans were sorry to see him leave the
inclosure.
Shanks showed up the Reds badly
in the seventh, when the third strike
on him was q passed ball, rolling
about fifteen feet to the stand. Catch
eer HUM lost sight OF the ball and
Shanks went all the way to second
base. When HUM did get the ball he
threw 1t to Saunders, with Shanks
half way to third. Shanks broke for
the hot corner and landed safely, Nc
Keechie losing the pitchers hurried
peg. Reaching third base on a strike
out was some shakes against a ma
jor league club, and many of the fans
gave the Reds a loud hoot.
Toney Was wild.
Toney was wild in the third, pass
ing Foster. Smith, and Shanks. These
three passes. mixed up with resound-
ing drives by Leonard. Milan, and
Rice, the latter getting a wo-bagger,
accounting for three runs and cinched
the contest then and there.

COLBY CALLS OFF
BASEBALL VISITS
Other Colleges Expected to
Cancel Southern Tours
Owing to War.

College teams in this section Of the
country may be without the regular
spring visitors from the North on
baseball schedules in the event Of 4
declaration OF war.
Colby College, scheduled to appear
here to play Catholic University on
Wednesday, has sent a letter asking
that the game be called off.
Faculty objects.
The faculty Of Colby College, sit
uated in Maine, has objected to the
team taking a trip owing to the un-
settled condition OF affairs. Colby
was scheduled to meet Princeton at
Princeton. N. J., and has called off
that game.
The first intimation that other col
Ieges might cancel the spring games
with Catholic University, Georgetown
and Maryland State here, and other
institutions farther South, was receiv-
ed today in the letter from Colby.
Colleges to Recruit.
Harvard and Princeton men will be
recruited in various units, it is re-
ported, and academic activities
stopped for preparations for war.
Harvard, Yale, Holy Cross, Tufts,
BoFton College, Syracuse. and other
leading institutions represented by
baseball teams in the habit OF touring
the South during the Easter recess
will probably call of all games with
local colleges.
No Other Word.
Colby is the first institution to can
eel its games on the Southern tour,
but others are expected to follow suit.
No word has been received from other
institutions, but Graduate Manager
Charles V. Moran, OF c. u, is of the
opinion that letters have been started
from other colleges calling of the
games here.
Georgetown has thirty-one games
on its schedule and Catholic Uni
versity has listed twenty-three. Many
of the games are with Northern col
leges here and on a return trip. The
extensive plans from visits here and
up North will, OF course, be called off
in the event of war.

love is thy light through the gloom.
