Diamond Stars On Links.
As a side issue golf is largely in
dulged in by devotees of other
sports, and 1t is an everyday thing
to read of Ty, Chris, Art, Johnny or
Frank playing his regular round on
the links-later playing ball with his
professional team in the major or
class A league. Most of the tennis
experts of the country have taken up
the game. some of them making the
excuse that they can no longer
WELD the racket with their accus-
toned agility and grace, but this is
usually a lame excuse, and many
hours are stolen on the links for a
ball, ball, ball, when they could cas-
lily find partner on the courts.
AS an enforced exercise, golf fills
the bill to a tee. For people who
cling desperately to their limousine
on the city streets and would not
think of walking a city block for
money, this allurinR pastime leads
them gently round the links for five
miles and they. do not realize that
they have travelled any distance at
all until they reach the nineteenth
hole-tired, but healthily tired.
Great For Vocabulary.
It is not recommended for its ad-
dition to ones vocabulary, for after
the elemental technical words of golf
have been acquired the player be-
gins to pick up the words that he
would not dare use in his home or
office. AS a delightful goat-getter,
golf as an outdoor sport equals dom
inoes as an indoor sport. But one
comes back strong for more in both
games.
The National Golf association fig
ures that close to 100000 persons
play golf every week. Fifteen years
ago there were only $4,000 golfers in
the country. And the game is pop
ular because the rich and poor,
young and old, athletic and feeble,
can play 1t with equal enjoyment,
and each can be handicapped to
meet one another on a fairly even
basis. It is the only game in the
world where extremes can meet, and
make a real game of It. The golhng
fan is ready to defend his challenge
Of supremacy.

s;Los Angeles, Cal, July 16.-Frank
E1 Chance, the only manager to
make a lasting name for himself in
the majors who could be tempted
to dabble in the minors, has closed
hfs sensational baseball career for
al time. The Peerless Leader says
he Is through with the game. Mrs.
Chance says ditto. Therefore, 1t
goes double. Responding to the die
TAtes Of his best judgment, and the
Constant and insistent pleading of
Mrs. Chance. the p. L. has rendered
hts resignation as manager of the
Los Angeles team to President Pow
efs. III health was the reason as
signed, and 1t was the real reason.
Chance has been succeeded by
Wade (Red) Killifer, who will oc-
ctpy the role of playing manager.
Chance is embalmed in the record
books as a member OF the big
three" In the National league, the
other members of the triumvirate
Being McGraw and Clark. His rec
ord, one OF the best in baseball, was
IN no sense dimrned by his plunge
into the minors.
1t was only after prolonged per-
9uasion and considerable financial
Inducements that he could be Tempt
ed TO accept the management OF IH6
Angels in 1915. The announcement
81 his acceptance Of that position
caused a nation wide sensation, with
the result that the career Of the Los
Angeles club through that season
aroused more general interest than
that of any other minor league or
qanization in the history of the
game. Eastern papers for the first
time asked for reports of Coast
league games Chance took what
mas generally conceded to be an in-
ferior ball team and literally drove
H into the championship. Many
critics rated this as even a greater
achievement from the standpoint OF
leadership. than the winning Of four
championships with the old Cubs.

Cleveland, o., July 1e.-Joe Evans,
q young utility infielder, is picked to
I'LL the shoes OF the veteran Terry
Turner, who after thirteen seasons
with Cleveland, is ready to step out.
There are only few, such as Matty
and Wagner, who have surpassed
Turner in long and valued service to
one club.
Evans, who is now regarded as the
indians regular third sacker, has
been preparing for the job several
seasons. When he graduated from a
Mississippi college a few years back
he was signed by Cleveland and then
sent to the minors Tor development
and experience. After a very credit
able showing in the bush, Evans re-
ported to Lee Fohl this spring and
saving few intervals on the bench,
has played third for the club all
season.
Although not as brilliant as one or
two other young third basemen.
Evans work is satisfactory in every
way. His fielding Is always adequate,
his throwing around the bases is
faultless and he has been batting
well. He may never reach the class
that was Turner's in his prime. but
he should hold his own in fast COM
pany.

The golfers are making the claim
that there is more active interest
these days in their game than In all
the other branches OF sport through
out the country-that Is, for adults
and II looks as though they are COR
rect. In Chicago and vicinity alone
10000 people play at least one round
OF golf every Sunday; New York is
very little behind, and golfers in both
centers claim that all the rest of the
sports combined, including baseball,
barely reaches half OF this figure.
There must be some reason for
this. With the exception Of few
Scotchmen who were born in the
proximity of a link and never learn
ed any other game during childhood,
every golfer, at some time of his
life, has ridiculed the game before
being eventually lured into it's coils.
But like the boa constructor, 1t never
looses its hold after seizing its prey,
and the victims succumb in happi-
ness. There Is a fascination about
the game not found in any other
branch OF sport.

in track athletics, or have starred on
the football field, or perchance won

sometimes accept in joke an invita-
ton to hit the little pill around the
lot, and the rest Of their games are
forgotten. OF course, in most cases,
they take UP golf after their useful
ness in other branches has served its
day, but once in awhile a devotee of
some other form of athletics is con-
verted to the royal and ancient game
during the height of his career.
Here Is an Observation-Disclosures a
convincing one. In q recent repre-
sentative tennis tournament one Of
the chief officials of the event was
drawn to play against an opponent,
and failed to appear. It transpired
that he preferred to play q round of
golf and sacrifice his place in the
event, though he had been identified
with tennis for many years, both as
player and official. Had the event
been held on a regular tennis club
court, nobody would have imagined
that golf was drawing him away
from his favorite sport, but in this
case it happened to be scheduled for
a golf and country club, with links

there are fewer protests than
there were under the old system.

said, and they do not make many
