GOLF TOURNEY SET FORF|REWORKS DAY Everybody Invited to "Kick- In' at Country Club on
 Fourth of July
Ky J. K. KIMBALL

For years and years golfers all over the world have been pitting their skill against and trying their utmost to beat old "Colonel Bogey," who many, many years ago established record for every course. Failures innumer- able with occasional successes have been the result and those who have chanced to beat him have gained con- siderable renown and taken unto themselves no few congratulations. In fact, when one comes into the club at the end of a round and announces that he has beaten Bogey on such and such hole, he either excites sus- picion or gathers plaudits.
 Now, I notice the Country club is going to hold Red Cross tournament. as are practically all the golf clubs the country over, and notice, too, the play is to be against Colonel Bogey." But. I suppose he is so difficult to beat and it would be so discouraging to the average player to tackle nlm. the club is going to give everybody Q chance and blindfold the old man. While this doesn't speak very well for the present day golfer, it does give every one a chance and it seems to me that all those aspiring golfers who wish to whisper to a visitor or to a stranger whom they meet at some other club that they have for once, beaten old man Bogey. will have an opportunity rarely offered.
 A good guess and the trick is done. So. come hither all you who have buried the club and concluded your age or youth or your temperament won't per- init Here's a chance.

Southworth not only played another good fielding game for the Barons today, but had on his batting clothes. He rapped out triple, double and two singles in the contest.
 Haworth was right behind Southworth with three singles and double. Jansen secured two singles and triple, and Bernsen batted out a triple and a sin gle. Had these last two batters cared to by little sprinting them could have turned their triples into homers. Orcutt and Bates led the hitting for Mobile, the former for two doubles and the lat ter getting three singles.
 Two hits, an error and a sacrifice gave the Barons two runs in the first frame of the game. In the second the Barons rained hits off Manager Pat Fiahertys delivery. A double by Me- Donald, triple by Southworth and sin sles by Duncan, Haworth, Jansen and Hill, and a sacrifice, piled up five runs for Moleys climbing Barons and put them so far in the lead that the Bears quit playing baseball.
 Flaherty ''skuked'' the heavy biting visitors in the third and fourth, and after this he retired in favor of Arthur Johnson who was pounded for 13 hits that netted the Barons five more runs. In the fifth single by Smith, walk and Southworth's double scored the eighth run for the Birmingham club. In the seventh inning singles by Smith and Mcdonald and another corking base hit by Southworth scored the ninth run of the visitors even dozen.
 Three hits, including Bernsen's triple, and some bad playing by the Mobile in- field, added three more runs in the ninth inning
 The Barons left Mobile late last night for New Orleans where they play their last road games. Ray Comstocl will pitch the first game for the Barons. After the game he will leave immediate ly for Birmingham and depart from the Magic City on Thursday for Pittsburg to join the Pirates. Comstock says that he is going to make the trip to the Smoky City by automobile.

 Last year Cincinnati won the semi professional honors of the country, and Louisville, Ky, and Cleveland tied for the amateur title.

 The National Baseball fedora ton, which is doing so much to promote and encourage sandlot baseball in every city of any consequence in the United States is also taking a very prominent part in the raising of the $500,000 fund needed for the athletic supplies of the soldiers. The officers of the federation have been working hand in hand with the war department commission on training camp activities ever since the first cantonments were established after the declaration of war, and have been instrumental in getting thousands of dollars worth of baseball equipment to the soldiers.
