The football team at the Navy
Yard has great prospects for the
coming season. having engaged
American League Park from Presl-
dent Griffith for every Sunday from
October l to New Year. President
Harry lie clair called a meeting of

Licariunc. Of independent football
fame for many years. was the unani-
nous choice for coach. II. Seigfricd

Sistant manager.
The Navy Hardcrs made a ten
strike when they obtained the base
hall park at Seventh street and Flor
ida avenue. and they are ready to
book games with representative
teams in the District. Maryland, Nir-
ginia and from any other locality.
The Navy Yard team played the
Rex Athletic Club for District hon
Ors last season. hut lost out in n
hard-fouEht contest. when Harry
Harris booted the oval over the goals
post for the only three points made
in the game. This game was not at
all satisfactory for either the teams
or the spectators. as il was played
on muddy. sloppy field and did not
disclose the qualities of either the
winners or the losers. Navy Yard
is laying plans to again go after the
District title. and expect to have a
much stronger aggregation.

Prize Money for Open
Championship in Atlanta
Double Normal Amount.

Showing far more generosity that
any other golf association. not ex-
cepting the L. 5. G. A, the Southern
ers who will conduct their annual
sectional open championship have
offered large enough purses this
year to attract professional shot
makers from every community. In
announcing the conditions for the
Southern open. to be held on the
course of the Atlanta Athletic club,
Atlanta, Ca, on September 80 and
October l and ,, the officials declare
that the first prize will be $1,UvO
cash in addition to the usual medals
and cups This is double the purse
Of the national open or the p. q. A.
championship. and is offered with
the obvious intent of beckOninE to
Georgia Ted Ray and Harry Var
don along with Walter Hagen and
the American headliners. Jim
Barnes was last years winner of
the Southern title. which at present
is the only championship he holds,
having lost his Western and profess
sional crowns within the last month.
Bobby Jones. the amateur, was run
rcr-up in 1919.
Because of the expected huge
field, three days will be devoted TO
the event instead of two. Eighteen
holes will be played on each of the
first two days, and the sixty-fOur
leaders at the end of that time, in
cIudinG those tied for siXty-fOurth
place. will continue for the final two
rounds to be played October 2. APP
parentIy entries should be made with
the secretary OF Atlanta A. c. before
September rs, but post entries can
also be made at the first tee.
The prize list follows: First,
$1,000: second, 5000; third. $500;
fourth. $3.50: fifth, 5000: sixth, $3.50;
seventh, 800; eighth. $40; ninth,
$50. and tenth, $40. A gold medal
will go to the champion. Two ad-
ditional medals are offered to anna
teurs since with Jones, J. Simpson
Dean, Tom Prescott and Perry Adair
all members of the Atlanta Club
and familiar with the course, there
is the suspicion that an amateur
may come through in the lead. \
medal will go to the amateur max
ing the best score for any eighteen
holes and another if an amateur I'm

, long hole where distance is essen
tial.
One of the strong points of Christy
Mathewson's pitching was the TACT
that he always had something in re-
serve. Let the Giants get four or
Ave runs for Matty and he fmme-
diately eased up. For this reason
the record of earned runs against
him doesn't indicate his true class.
There are many types who can't
take the risk of Stacking up. For
once they do they lack the ability
to get going again.
Asking n Whys
Dear Sir: why is it that base
| ball crowds don't know how to be
fair? Years ago in Pittsburgh !
| heard them bawl Wagner out for
| tanning three times in a game
when he had won hundreds OF
games for the same city The ter
ribIe razzing that Cobb received in
New York recently was the most
| unsportsmanlike thing ! ever saw
| typical example of the cowardice
of the mob. In another recent
game l heard many fans around
me say as Pitcher Collins came
out: Here comes old Rip. Oh
| you, hlp.a lhftt lunlhHS AdA'i
| they were yelling: Take the bum
OUT" Yes, they're a fine lot OF
! sportsmen. READER.
! The wonder is that most bal
players don't come into a grabbed
existence. To be cheered one day
and panned to a livid finish the
, next is always a souring episode
in ones existence. The ball player
on the average has developed a
philosophy through complete real
ization of the fickleness of thc
crowd.

way to come, but they have beer

A buffers Question.
Tell us. Grsntland. tell us truly
You're some golfer we'll agree
Do you ever top the pellet
When you're driving off the tee?
Then, with brassie in the fairway'
Set to give the ball a ride,
Do you ever dub your second
Straight against the bunkers
side?
Or with niblick in a sand trap,
Do you shoot It fair and high,
Or just soak it on the noddle,
Giving it a deeper lie?
When. with mashie you're approach
Do you get the pitch and roll.
Or look up and sometimes send it
Nowhere near the bloomin' hole?
Come on. Grantland, tell us dubs
Read "The Spotlight" ev'ry day,
How are Barnes. Ray, Vardon, Ha-
gen?
Do they ever get that way?
GEORGE w. MARTIN.
I've seen Hagen top a brassie,
Ted Ray slice into a rut;
I've seen Vardon stand and quiveT
As he blew a two-foot putt.
I've seen all the stars in bunkers
Tossing sand with eyes afiame,
For, as Georgia Low once put it,
"Gor Is sure an 'umblin' game
In addition to the honor and tht
acclaim it will mean at least $4,000
to each ball player to be listed or
! the winning end of the next wOrlc
series. 1t will mean close upon $4,000
/ to each member of the beaten team
With the two races as close as they
! now are for the next few weeks
| $1,000 may not be as much money al
I il used to be-but'it is still nothing
to be thrown out of the window.
In Rerserve.

BY SIR BARTON
Wins Merchants and Citi-
\ zens' Handicap in Sensa-
tional Finish.

New York. Aug. 2s-Sir Barton
and Gnome furnished the sensation
OF the day at Saratoga when they
finished the last sixteenth fighting
stride for stride in Merchants and
Citizens Handicap. 1t was a real
finish. and to win Sir Barton was
forced to hang up a 1855 SIS for
the one mile and three -siXteenths,
breaking the worlds record. That
caused a terrible uproar. for to a
great number GnOme looked as if
he had won by a nod.
So disgruntled were the hackers
Of GnCme that they hooted when
the numbers went up. 1t was such
a close finish, however. that the
judges We're the only ones close
enough to decide. They declared
that Sir Barton was the winner
and that settled everything.
This performance Of Sir Barton
was superb. He carried the crush
ing burden of 1873 pounds and re-
duCed by twO-fifths of a second the
figure made by CUdgel two years
ago. Only three horses fought out
the issue, Jack Stuart being the
other starter. Sande got Sir Barton
OF flying with GnOme second and
Jack stuart third As they rounded
the FIRST turn Jack Stuart moved
up and kept GnOme on the rail.
They ran in this order to the turn
for home where keOgh swung out
and started his bid. 1t was a throb-
bing spectacle. the trio tighting
Eamely. Jack Stuart dropped back.
Gnome came like the wind and got
up to Sir Barton. Then he headed
him. Sir Barton made a few leaps
and reEained his loss. Then GnOme
made another bid. 1t looked as il
he had him when under the wire
they flew. The Judges said Sir Bar
ton won He certainly deserved the
hOnOrs.
