This allotment of holes in one TO
gol1ers is really an interesting ann
curious thing. I dare say there are
a. large number of golfers through
out the country, to whom l could
give large handicaps, who have made
many more holes in one than L have
1t is said that one of the big Eng
lish golf magazines has an honor roll
for golfers who have made hole in
one. and 1 would like to know how
many holes in one Britain's big three
--Nardon, Braid and Taylor-haVe
made. 1t is rumored that Vardon has
not one to his credit.
] think the only time hole has
ever been made in one during ma
tional championship was at Detroit.
in 1915, when Robert Gardner holed
hole at Detroit. His opponent had
two. and that is probably the only
time in the history of big champion
ships that a two has lost the hole.
+; Every one remembers Ned Allis' hole
in one at Homewood during the west
ern championship of 1913. II is per-
laps, the most famous of all Ameri-
car holes in one. for it was a smash
ing drive from the tee of the old first
hole. and this hole measures over 300
yards. 1t vti record breaker. and
people have never tired talking about
esting point to note-it is much cas-
Ter for a rolling ball to hole out than
it is for one to land in the hole either
on the carry. or bounce, and stay
there. Therefore. / think there are
more ones made on holes that are
over $50 yards than on those under
that distance. The pin in the hole
makes difference, too. 1 have seen
balls strike in the canvas of the flag
and drop in and stay, but that is the
only circumstance where l have seen
the ball stay in the cup on the carry.
Once in a Glen View Golf Club
tournament Chandler Egan made the
seventh hole in one. and then a play
er unknown to fame, who was behind
him, did the identical thing. Douglas
Grant, while playing the California
ch championship, a at Del Monte against
Jack Neville recently made the
eleventh hole in one.
Nearly all the clubs hold choice
score or ringer" events, and it would
be interesting to check up on these
and see just how many ones are
made during the season.

Lieut.. C. B. Hamilton Of This

That the life of an athletic officer
with the American ekpeditionary
forces was not all beer and skittles
was the experience of Lieut.. Charles
s. Hamilton, a widely known athlete
of this city. and possibly the last Dis
trict National Guard officer to leave
France. Lieut. Hamilton arrived i'll
this city Monday night. He landed in
New York Monday.

Lieut.. Hamilton related some anus

who presented claims against the
American Army. One bewhiskered

said, were done to his cart. Your

When the American officers investi-

Lieut.. Hamilton Wounded.
Hamilton was wounded by a piece
of shell in the ST. Mihiel sector. He
was in the hospital for more than a
month.
He was connected with the Sd Dis
trict Infantry, which, after being de-
mobilized from Mexican border serv-
ice March IL, 1917, was mustered in
again April l of the same year. The
outfit went to Camp Greene, where it's
personnel was distributed among
units of the 4tst Division. Hamilton
was assigned to the 163d Infantry,
and was detailed to depot duty when
he arrived in France.
Headed n Foot Ball Team.
Lieut.. Hamilton was captain Of the
Central High School foot ball team in
1907, and played on the team of
George Washington University fol-
lowing his graduation from high
school.
His brother, Maj. George w Ham
ilton, is connected with the 5th Ma
rines. He arrived in this country yes
terday from Haiti, where he was sent
following the cessation of hostilities
in Europe. His father is Charles A.
Hamilton, a veteran Washington cor
respondent.
When Maj. Hamilton arrives in this
city and meets his brother, whom he
has not seen since the outbreak Of
the war, there will be a reunion at
the Hamilton home, 1882 Lamont
street.

Regarding other mistakes that john

ness to give the 1920 season a remark

What the fans Of Boston are princi-

SoX are going to be in the race next
year. They are anxious to hear who
the Red Sox have obtained in trades
and by purchase.
1t is fully realized that the Sox need
some pitching material for the 1920
race. The supporters of the game are
perfectly willing. to wait until they are
made known, but hope that the ak

INSURGENTS REPORTED READY
TO COMPROMISE LEAGUE ROW

BOSTON. December 26.-New de-
velopments in the American League
are being awaited here with interest.
The Boston, New York and Chicago
factions, made up of the insurgent
club owners who are opposed to Ban
Johnson. president Of the league, may
desire to compromise.
1t is felt by some of the close
friends of the insurgents, that they
can no longer continue to have trouble
in the league, because of the spring
training season plans. which must be
completed early in January. If the
trouble continues it will also serve to
keep the players mindful of holding
out, for they will demand more money
and probably try and do the Mays
stunt.
Base ball cannot afford to go along
this way. The men who have their
thousands invested should protect the
money. and also consider that the long
er there is dissension in the league
rank the more that fans will condemn
the game.

take terrific slump and without the

chise.
The largest sum Frazee could hope
to induce any sane man to pay for
Ruth, Scott Schang and McInnis is
less than 100000. so that if he sold
them il is doubtful If he could get
s75O.G0O for the grounds, franchise
and what remained of the playing

1850. 900 he is hopeful of obtaining.
Only One Way to Clean Up.
Is Harry Frazee the business man,
considering any such fool move as
this? We'l say he's not. His only
chance to clean up is to preserve ALI
of his assets intact, awaiting the
time he can dispose of them, and, II
his figures are not met. continue to
operate the club The latter contin-
sency is by no means discouraging TO
him. II he can continue to pack 'en

worry whether he has Il siXth-place

finishes in the standing of the clubs.

can happen in base ball. But we DO
not think he will until Battering
