SAVANNAH FIRST IN
GOLF in COUNTRY
So William Harden Says After Delv-
ing Into Evidence for Statement.

Savannah. Ga. Jan. 2o.-wiIIiam
Harden, of the Georgia Historical So
ciety. is now the Christopher Columbus
Of golf in this country. He has dis
covered the first home of Scotland's
royal and ancient game in these United
States, and this home was in Savannah,
Ga
Mr.. Harden says in the January issue
Of Vanity Fair:
There are two chief periods in the
history OF the game OF golf in America
first, the so-calIed mythical period
or the years before 1880; and. second.
the period beginning with the opening
OF the golf clubs at St. Andrews and
Shinnecock (Southampton). This arti-
Gle has only to do with the first of
thcSe periods, that which has always
been looked upon as purely legendary
and without foundation in historical
fact. The object is to show that the
legendary period really ended about
seventy years earlier than is commonly
supposed.
THE game of golf had gained a con-
siderable headway in georgia as far
back as the year 1911. Savannah at
that time contained not over 10000 in
habitants, but, small as it was, It paid
good deal of attention to sports and
to social and fashionable matters.
1T is to be regretted more care was
not taken to preserve evidences Of Sa-
vannah's early social diversions, but 1t
is fortunate that Miss Eliza Johnston,
one of the participants in many Of
them, was careful to secrete one of her
most highly priced Invitations between
the leaves Of her family Bible, thus
helping golfng enthusiasts to learn
something of the city's devotion. to the
game over century ago. The invita-
tion was a request to attend ball
given by the Savannah Golf Club.
This invitation, which I first saw
nearly thirty years ago, is now in the
possession of a granddaughter Of ths
very Miss Eliza Johnston to whom it
was addressed. The owner Of II, while
valuing it as a curiosity, never dream
ed that II would ever be valuable in
establishing the claim of Savannah to
be the first golfing center in America
In case any doubt may be felt as to
the genuineness of the invitation, II is
in order to show that positive evidence
recently unearthed tends to prove that
the invitation is entirely genuine, and
that a golf club was actually in opera
tion in or near the city of Savannah
in the year 1911"

trip to the South Pole two years ago.
They are Of the Husky breed. The
Husky dog is bred from a timber wolf
and Scotch collie. A few of the en-
tries are cross bred with ST. Bernard and
hounds.
Gimli. a fishing town on Lake winnf-
peg. is particularly interested in the Red
River Derby. since this burgh is the home
of Explorer stefansson and two OF the
dogs entered from. this place were for
merry owned by Stefansson.
Much interest is to be added to the
start Of the Red River Derby because of
the fact that the dog teams will be sent
away by two old-tme Hudson Bay
traders themselves famed dog runners in
their day. These men, R. Mac Farland,
aged 50 years. 251 Old Colony street, and
William Clark. 70 years old. of 261 Old
Colony street. Winnipeg, in the early
lS60s made records with their dog teams
that are recounted TO this day. In 1861
Clark drove his dog team from Old Point
Lake, Manitoba, to Ft. Gray, now Win
nipeg, a distance OF sixty-tive miles, in
six hours. Two years later Mac Farland
drove a dog team from Fort Simpson on
the Mackenzie River to Fort Gary, 1000
miles, without changing dogs. On this
trip Mac Farland stopped OF at Isis Q
Ia Crosse to get married. The nearest
LlAAAlASACl was LO lIllAtS away ana Ine
bride and bridegroom-to-be had to wait
two weeks while a dog runner drove the
200 miles. and returned with the clergy
man to make them man and wife
The rules of the Red River Derby
make 1t optional for the drivers to ride
or run behind their dog teams. as they
prefer. Sheriff Colin Inkster, of Winni-
peg, whose recollection dates back to the
early dog trail days of Canada, is as
keenly interested in the Red River Derby
as any man in the province Of Manitoba
Il am glad to see a son Of the late
James ]. Hill stage such a novel event
as this Red River Dog Derby, for 1t will
bring to the attention OF the American
public very horcibly the great utility the
dog sledge train has been and still is to a
great extent, to the hardy men who catch
the fish supply and trap the skins that
go to make for the comfort Of people iy-
ing in the easier environment OF our more
moderniEed world. The endurance run Of
these dogs will be an educational revela-
tion to the people of the United States"

BOLN, SWEDISH CHAMP,
SEEKS YANKEE HONORS
Foreign Star of Cinder Path Wants to
Clean Up Here.

New York, Jan oo-Stars of the cinder
paths from foreign countries have fig-
ured In many sensational performances
In America. Hans Kolehmainen and VII
lar Kyronen, both distance runners, set
athletic circles of this country afire when
they invaded our land, and their feats
did much to put new life into certain
branches of athletic sports.
And now a new star appears on the
athletic horizon. This youthful athlete
is also a foreigner. and he is coming to
the United States TO compete In athletic
events during the spring and summer.
His name is ]. Bolin. and he II con-
sidered the greatest half-miler ever de-
yeloped in Sweden. II he does not
change his mind about crossing the pond
the half-milers OF these perfectly good
United States win be greatly disappoint-
ed. The announcement that he would
visit this country was gladly received by
athletes throughout the country. Our
runners are eager to compete against the
lad who defeated Ted Meredith in four
half-miIe races on Scandinavian tracks
last fall. and Just as sure as he comes
the Yankee middle-distance runners will
be ready for him.
Ted Meredith, eager to retrieve his de-
feats by Bolin, has already started train
ing for the coming season. Bill Bingham
the Harvard runner who finished within
two yards of Meredith in their memora-
Bile race last May, and Don Scott, the
stellar Southern runner, are also said
to be preparing for the coming Of the
Swedish star.
Then there is Larry scudder. the Penn
sylvania star and II Is whispered that
Homer Baker, the veteran who formerly
wore the colors of the New York A. c.,
may attempt a comeback. Baker has
taken a wise course in his attempt to
stage a comeback by returning to na-
ture." He has been spending the cold
months in tramping the hills and dales Of
New Jersey. Davy Caldwell. Joe Higgins
and others are expected to show better
form II they decide to compete for hon
ors this year.
without a doubt the announced coming
Of Bolin has put more life into the mid
dle-distance stars than they have ex-
hibited for a number OF years, and the
cream Of Uncle Samuel's sSo-yarders will
be ready to toe the chalk lines when the
season gets under way.

BOXERS SELDOM GET
Credit FOR ABILITY
Jack Bntton Is Strongest Claimant Of
His Class Today.

New York, Jan. eO.-One Of the most
consistent boxers in the ring today is sell
dom given the credit that Is due him for
his ability to score continued successes.
yet he is well known to the fight fans
from coast TO coast
His name is Jack Britton. and he is
the strongest claimant OF the ~orld's
welter-weight championship.
Britton has been boxing for years. He
got his start around Chicago and when
he drst commenced exchanging vallops
with the boys in main events he was not
really heavy enough for the lightweight
class But Jack wanted to hght, and he
had to give away weight to many oppo-
nents while he was growing.
Always a clever boxer, blessed with a
cool head and nimble pair Of mitts,
Britton began 10 come into prominence
as a wind-up fighter about six or seven
years ago. He did not get many chances
in the big towns in those days, but he
was a good card in the smaller cities and
was always good for a comeback once
he showed the fans his wares.
Jack has been meeting lght-weights.
welter-weights and near middle-weights
for several years. He has proven TO the
satisfaction OF a majority OF fistic critics
throughout the country that he is a bet
ter boy than Ted Lewis. and he is gen.
orally regarded as the country's premier
welter-weight
One OF the secrets Of Britton's success
lies In the fact that he takes good care
of himself. He could retire today with
fat bankroll and nothing TO worry
about, but he is still young in years and
has been improving rather than going
back.
And he generally gives the fight fan a
good run for his money. Yet he doesn't
get the credit he deserves.

average OF IS per cent the highest ever
compiled by a trapshooter amateur or
professional The best previous average
was 9.75 made by William II. Heer on
1000 targets In 1910.
Clark Is the smallest In point Of stature
of the present day professional trapshots
What he lacks in inches he makes up IN
ability. He Is considered the best pro-
fessional trapshot in America-even
though he failed to win the professional
championship held at ST Louis last
August in connection with the Grand
American Handicap tournament The
championship was the only professional
event held during the week that Clark
did not win.
Clark is the proverbisl iceberg when
1t comes to trapshooting. He never
becomes fustered, never hurries, and his
misses are rare. He showed his nerve
match for the 'E. c." trophy the SUM-
day preceding the G. A H. The youngest

There didnt appear 10 De chance IN

half BALk WON'T GO
in AMERICAN League
Strict Rule Will Help Base Runners
Averages. Says McGraw.

New York, Jan. n-Pitchers In the
National League who are permitted to
"eet away with q half balk motion
when there Is q runner on first base are
responsible for the fact that the National
Is behind tho American League in base
running.
So says John McGraw, the scrappy
leader Of the "Jints." and John is backed
up by Christy Mathewson and others. Nc
Graw would like to see the National
Leaguers put over strict rules covering
the balk. He says there are 30 many
left handlers In the old league who use a
balk motion that the base-runner's
chances are cut down fully 50 per cent
They couldn't get away with that
stun IN the American League" opines
John. 'and think that a strict balk rule
is sadly needed In our league TO help the
base-runners out"
A stolen base often marks the turning
point OF a game of ball. When a fast
man get on, with a good hitter coming
I'm behind him, there Is run in the
making. But II the runner gets nipped
of first because a lax rule allows pitch
ar TO pull a half balk motion, the embryo
run goes a-giimmering. And 1t isn't fair
TO the team at bat
In order to put . balk rule In force
which would bring the required results,
the National Leaguers must mako 1t IRON
clad There must be no loopholes which
NAV cause an umpire to hesitate when
hs In called upon to decide whether or
not a pitcher has balked. The rule must
be plain.
Each fall, when the National and
American League winners line up for the
worlds series, the umpires are called
upon to decide before the frst game
starts just how they will interpret the
baIk rule, for the rule Is applied differ
