KITTY BRANSFIELD
MAKING GOOD UMPIRE

New York. May 2s.-old Kitty Brans-
field Is getting by admirably as an
umpire, and indications are that he will
continue to hold down his berth as long
as he renders the service he is Eivins
ia the National League this season.
B-aCsIIeld's return to public notice this
year recalls the fact that as a player
he was a member OF one OF the greatest
infields the major leagues have ever seen.
an infeld which deserves or deserved
more credit than was given II As one Of
the best ever gotten together.
In speaking Of great inhelds, the base
ball scribes always enumerate Anson.
Pfeffer, Williamson and Burns; Tenney,
Lowe. Long and Collins; Doyle, Reitz,
Jennings and McGraw; Chance, Evers,
Tinker and SteinfeIdt; MeInnis, Collins,
Barry and Baker. In all fairness It ap-
pears that the Pirate four of 1903 should
be mentioned also.
This great old infeld was composed Of
Bransfeld, Ritchey, Wagner and Leach.
There was quality there, all kinds of It,
The members of that old tnfield could
hit the ball and field better than the
best OF their day, and collectively they
were as great as any other, IL we are
to believe the old-timers who knew them
In their prime.

ginian, who Is coming here with a repu-
tation as being the middle-weight cham

derful ability shown by D. Clarke Cork
ran in getting out of trouble in the Chevy
Chase event. In the semi-finaI round
match against Norman Maxwell. Corkran
played an uphill game all the way
around, and was never up until he
won the nineteenth hole which gave him
the match. OF the nineteen holes, Cork
ran got in trouble no less than seven
teen times, getting in eight traps, topping
his stroke four times and going to the
rough fve times. Against Reyburn, in
the finals, he was much truer, only get
ting in the rough twice and going into
traps the same number OF times.
There is a possibility that the pa
triotic'' event OF the Middle Atlantic
Tennis Association to be played on the
Columbia Country Club courts beginning
tomorrow will bring to Washington a
number of tennis stars who rarely ever
get this far East. Among those in tralnin,.
for the Officers Reserve Corps at Fort
Myer are Dean Mathey, national clay
court doubles champion. with George NJ.
Church. Frederick {, Colston, the Balti-
more crack, who has figured prominently
In a number OF the big Journeys of the
country, and several other lesser lights
I'm the tennis world and an effort will be
made to get them to compete in this
event AS the War Department is on
record that it approves of both officers
and men taking plenty of exercise and
indulging in sports at every opportunity
and in view OF the fact that the event
itself Is for the benefit of the Red Cross.
1t is believed that those who care to COM
pete in the event will have no trouble in
being excused from their military train
ing for the fcw hours their tournament
play would require.

the catch-as-catch-can style. However,
Turner agreed to meet the Jap at his
own style.
The management Of the Ninth street
playhouse Ii trying 10 have these two
men TO wrestle one fall catch-as-catch-
can style, one fall jiu-jitsu and the last
fall to be decided by the referee as to
which style shall govern the deciding
fall.
Joe Turner has, for the last two days,
worked hard to master a few Jlu-jitsu
holds in order to make the visitor hustle
for a fall at his own game.
The match between Pinky Gardner and
Bobby Grant should prove as interesting
as the main bout for Gardner has proved
to the fans here that he is a fighter
from the start to the finish, and on the
other hand. Grant with a reputation Of
being a fast wrestler, expects to pin
Gardners shoulders to the mat, so the
fans can expect to witness a fast match.
There will be no advance in prices for
this double bill, which is the best stag
ing ever for the one price OF admission.

A great deal Of enthusiasm is being
shown by local golfers at the prospect OF
getting in the Middle Atlantic Associa-
tion patriotic tournament which was
rescheduled last week by the associa-
ton. and it is expected that the largest
entry list ever drawn by a local event
will result. The idea of assigning the
various sixteens to the different local
courses seems to have met with instant
favor, especially at some of the clubs
which would never get a chance at hold
ing the championship event II Il was
played under the regular rules. Under
the plans adopted for this years evenr,
certain siXteens-and, there will be enough
to take care of all entrants-will be as
signed to all OF the local courses for
the first and second rounds. On the
morning of the second day, the semi
final rounds will be brought to the two
closely connected big clubs. Chevy Chase
and Columbia, while the finals in the
afternoon will be played at Chevy Chase.
This plan will enable the association to
take care OF all that possibly can enter
and will, at the same time, give all Of
the clubs an opportunity OF sharing in
the honors which the event will no doubt
bring to Washington? II the golfers dc
their part and swell the entry list. the
tournament will bring in close to 81 900
for Red Cross relief work.
Dr. Bruce l. Taylor, of Bannockburn,
made one of those shots which fall to
the lot of the average player about once
a lifetime in his second round OF match
play in the recent Washington Golf and
Country Club event, when, after topping
his drive, he holed his mashie shot for a
three on the second hole. When he came
up to the hole the doctor found his ball
rasfin0 aUoIpaf the min the hall falling
in when he carefully extracted" the pin.
DR.. Taylors experience in the dental
profession no doubt stood him in good
stead, as his opponent claims that he
showed rare skill and that he could not
have pulled OUT molar, wisdom, or
eye tooth any neater.
The closed tennis event for the Chevy
Chase Club championship started last
week with a large entry list in each
class. Following the usual plan, in addi-
ton to the scratch event in the mems
singles, there will also be handicap
events in the other classes. The results
Of this tournament count rather heavily
in the clubs ranking which is kept up
to date throughout the season. The
players are usually rated by their play
in this event and then fight things out
among themselves by challenges for their
ranking for the season. At the present
time, ]. Ballard Moore, last years win
ner, il still in first place, with J. Upshur
Moorehead, second, Dudley Morgan,
third, Cuthbert Brown, fourth. and Wal
ter d. Wilcox, fifth. Virginius Dubney
leads Class B, with Walter G. Dunlop,
]. S. Baker, Edward W. Dom, jr., and
Ashmeade Fuller following. The other
classes are arranged as follows: Class c:
