tiCular, to n rather Interesting phase
Of the game. For the most part. the
pitching of the Athletics for years has
been mediocre. A majority of the
pitchers. the recruits in particular.
permitted runners to get a flying lead.
That made it necessary for Perkins to
develop speed in getting his throw
away. 1t made him use his brain in
an effort to outguess the opposition.
Now that the Athletics have q good
staff of pitchers, Perkins is reaping
the results of those days when all
runners tried to run wild on him.
A catcher who can throw is great
asset to a ball club. provided there is
accuracy in his arm and courage In
his heart. 1 know catchers with
strong arms, but that doesn't mean a
thing. 1t is the fellow willing to take
a chance, and who, because of his ac-
curacy, always has a chance to get ms
man. OF course every now and then
game will be lost because some
throw fails to reach the iN,rk. but
more games will be won. When Il
catcher establishes reputation for
accuracy in throwing and willing
to keep a closer hold on their base,
cuts down chances to steal, and pre-
vents a big lead that often means so
much in reaching a base
Gives Great Exhibition.
Last year I saw Perkins give one of
the best exhibitions of throwing l
have ever seen. st. Louis had filled
the bases. and it looked like a tough
inning for the Athletics. A snap
throw to second caught the runner off
that base. 1t necessitated the runner
on third breaking for home. He was
finally retired at the plate. the other
runners moving up to second ana
third. A moment later another snap
throw to second caught the runner
mapping. The result was again the
same, the runner from third being re-
tired at the plate. Thus what threat
ened to be a big inning with the bases
filled and no one out simmered down
to two out and a runner on third.
The next play was even more difficult.
although not SO spectacular. Ihe
batter hit a slow roller down the first
base line. Perkins made a play on
the ball and then slipped. While al
most fiat on his back he snapped the
ball to first just ahead of the runner.
1t was an inning that was saved
through the remarkable accuracy OF
Perkins.

ROLLS 299 TENP|N GAME
Joseph Gilligan of Buffalo Has Set
of 6S3, Going to Van in
A. B. G.. Tourney.

BUFFALO. n. Y, March 5.-Roll-
ing a ball with but one finger hole,
Joseph Gillisan. a Buffalo ten-pin
shooter. established a game of 299
pins in the American bowling con-
gress tournament this afternoon, his
high count following scores of 209
and l75, which gave him total of
6S3 pins and first place in the indi-
vidual event of the tourney.
Gilligan'S 299 is the second bowled
in an a. &. c. tournament. f. ElviS
of Milwaukee having accomplished
this feat in the Peoria event in 1915.
1t is not an A. B. c. record. however,
as William j. Knox of Philadelphia
shot a 300 score in the tournament
at Toledo. Ohio.
A new leader was also established
in the two-man event today. +. Tiff
and y. Green of Kalamazoo. Mich.
taking first place with a score of
1905 pins. closely followed by eight
other pairs, all breaking into the
high ten.

holes on the course. is perhaps the
best of ali its one shelters. The
hole fully rewards an accurately
played mashie shot and just as Sc
verely punishes an inaccurate shot
Its particular difficulty lies in the
fact that the green breaks OFF sharply
at all its edges so that a bail played
even the slightest bit overstronE or
too far to the right or left will reach
a place four or five feet below the
green level. Particularly is this the
case if the ball goes off the side of
the green. the green itself being mar
row. 1t is no easy mstter to chip 4
niblick shot up to the hole from
place four feet below the level. with
a steep bank directly in front OF the
player.
The green is built in two levels and
is about three feet higher at the back
edge than at the front. As to the
difficulties between the tee and the
green. the ball must carry two bitches
formed by a creek which conveniently
winds about itself at this point and
then goes around TO the right of the
green to form an additional water
hazard in that direction. The shot
usually is played with mashie and
presents no particular difficulty. IN the
player Is accurate with the club. as
most professionals and frst-class arn"
teurs are. the mashie being the club
needed more than perhaps any other
to score on low on first-class courses
All Real One-SbOtters.
The four short holes on the Colum-
bia course, of which al form an in
teresting quartet ot one-shotters.
probably constitute four of the
best short holes any one golf
course in the country. Perfect play
is amply rewarded at all of them,
while the man who is bit wild with
the irons will find himself in all sorts
of trouble on these four one-shot
affairs.

game last summer, in which L was

coaching at first base. Perkins had
pulled couple of remarkable throws,
and the star commented on MS great
arm and deadly accuracy.

Upsets Many Good Scores.
The eighth has been the means of
shattering many a fine score and is
truly a test for the accurate mid
iron player. The hole is 1874 yards in
length, but on account of the con-
figuration OF the ground Immediately
in front of the green. the ball need
not always carry directly TO the
green. The properly played shot hits
just off the green at the right hand
edge and runs in towards the center.
A ball hit directly at the center of
the green is more than likely to find
its end in the deep sand trap which
lies directly in front of the left half
of the green. SO that a ball hit slight
ly to the right of the pin will aver

the pin.
At the back of the green rises a
bank bordered with heavy rough. The

to the right of the line, is ended in
this trap, from which it is very
difficult shot to get out and on the

so there is no difficulty attached to the
layout of the hole. Running from the

M'LEOD WINS TOURNEY

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. March s.
After one of the most exciting strug-
giles that ever featured a golf tourna-
ment in the south, Freddy Mcleod,
golfer de luxe Of the Columbia Country
Club, emerged victorious in the an
nual St. Augustine professional
tournament here today. McLeod's
total at the end of the four harrow
ing rounds was 304. In order to win
Mcleod had to beat out that other
brilliant Scotch player. George Fother-
ingham. who pressed him from the
very start Fotheringham finished
two strokes behind.
The final issue between Mcleod
was Of the most exciting kind. Both
and Fotheringham was of the most eX-
citing kind. Both got into considerable
difficulty during the entire round, but
marvellous recoveries enabled them to
keep down their score.
Mcleod clinched the match at the
short sixteenth. On the fifteenth he
had taken the lead by playing per-
fectly to the hole to get a par five.
Fotheringham played over and was
down in six.
On the next hole, Fotheringham
drove the green and ran his second
lead to the hole. Mcleod raped his
putt sharply and the ball, travelling
swiftly, banged the back of the cup.
popped out of the hole and back into
the cup again, giving the Washing

strokes. which he held to the end.
