on the sixteenth tee. where he lost
the 1910 championship. down to
the youngster from Siwanoy.
Chick made valiant try for his
at the sixteenth. but missed and
the hole was halved in 8. Two
4s followed on the seventeenth
and Chick stuck up pitch shot dead
to the pin at the eighteenth to finish
down.
Another of the breaks came at the
very first hole in the afternoon. which
Evans deserved to win, as he placed
two fine wooden shots together and
his ball brought UP fifteen feet to the
left Of the pin at this 440-yard ex-
panse. But Jess. who had hooked
his tee shot to the high grass and
high niblick shot ten feet from the
pin and holed the putt for a half.
Putt startles Chick.
That putt had its effect on Chick.
He looked at Jess as IL to say, Don't
you ever miss? What kind Of man
are YOU, anyway" And there was
every hope for Chick. for he had
played two fine shots and really de-
served to win. But the magic blade
PEELED the ball unerringly to the bot
tom Of the tin and the best Chick
could do was a half. The putter Is
yet a potent weapon. Cyril Toliey
and the rest of the devoted British
band will tell you that.
The second was halved. and Evans
won the third when Sweetser. whose
pitch was short. chipped up ten feet
over on the slippery, slopine green.
Sweetser nearly holed his three at the
fourth, but missed and 1t was halveo.
Chicks second shot barely caught
the edge of the trap at the nfth' ana
he missed twelve-footer for half
when Sweetser laid his second shot
fourteen feet away. The sixth was
halved. although Sweetser hit the
best ball of the tee, a magnificent
shot of 270 yards,

hooked iron shot found the rough on
bank to the left of the green and
Evans-did well to get a half at the
eighth, putting over q twisting, tort

the bold-hearted are apt to fail.

Then Chick again made a game bid
for hole. His high pitch at the
thirteenth carried to within seven
feet of the hole at the 3so-yard af-
fair. and stayed there. But the
dauntless Sweetser stuck his pitch
inside Evans ball. On the green the
difference was noticeable. Evans half
hit his putt and it trimmed. while
Jess, the hole looking as big as a
washbasin to him. stepped up and
holed for bird 3.
And here was Evans 4 down and 5
to go. facing defeat and long hole
where Sweetser was almost sure to
9t home in 2. Chick played a
ran beyond the green. while Sweetser
was ten yards short. Sweetser near
ly holed his chip and Evans, knowing
he had to get down in to keep the
match going, tried hard for his chip
from the grass at the green edge. but
and Evans holed nervy four -footer
to become dormfe'4 down.

another game bid. which this time
was successful. for he won the hole,

while Sweetser's ball barely cleared

Sweetser's chip left him still six feet

half stymie. The lad only half hit
his putt and stopped on the edge of
the hole.
The new king wa: crowned on the
sixteenth. where Evans made a game
try for his two. Sweetser was away
and Tipped the cup. Evans, taking
great pains with his try for another
foothold on the championship, Just
slid by the right-hand edge of the
tin: He conceded Sweetser his six

TENNIS AND. BASE BALL
ADOPTED BY JAPANESE

: Base ball and tennis have been
adopted as national sports by new
Japan. The former has long been pop
ular at the university and American
colleges sending teams over nave now
to choose Of their best to stand any
chance Of winning against the stars OF
Waseda. Keio and other universities,
as was proved by the failure OF Indiana
to win more than one match on Its re-
cent tour.
Other schools are taking up the game,
while every vacant lot and wide street
has its quota Of coming stars Of the
diamond. ~- -
Tennis Is becoming equally popular.
and whereas few years ago the cups
and prizes went forth to foreign play
ers living in Japan. now they are won
by Japanese. In this years tournament
Of the Toxic Club most OF the foreign
ers, and there are a good many players
among them, were eliminated IN the
early stages.
The interest taken in the game by
women, they forming by far the largest
body Of spectators at the courts. has
to offer prizes for women at Its second
national tournament to be held in the
fall of 1928.
A large number Of girls. schools are
taking up the sport and. since his re-
turn, Kumagae, the international play.

pion. have played exhibition games at
these schools to give the girls an In

The President of the United States
has promised to assist in the dedica
ton of the course at the spring tour
nament of the Washington Newspaper
Golf Club next May, and / predict
that he and all who participate in
or witness that event will be as sur
prised and delighted as l am over
what has been done.
Most Beautiful Course.
The course. which is OF nine holes.
between Columbia and Chevy Chase.
II presents nothing as steep as Co
lumbia's thirteenth and seventeenth
holes and nothing as smooth as most
OF the holes of Chevy Chase. But the
scene of the course itself and the sur
roundings are superior to either in
point of beauty. Indeed. with a suit
able clubhouse the spot is one where
the public would enjoy rest and relax
alton even II no golf were played
an ideal parking place. for example,
for golf widows.
The main entrances to the course
are from a point in Rock Greek Park
where the Military road from Bright
wood to Chevy Chase. the main road
Of the Park from the Zoo. the road
leading to the Miller cabin come to-
gether. and a point on 18th street
some distance north of the reservoir.
1t seems inevitable that in due time
Congress will back up Col. Sheriff.
and the public course golfers with an
appropriation for rustic clubhouse.
and ! am strongly in favor of the
suggestion that the house should be
built on little hill just above where
the roads named join rather than at
the upper end of the course more
convenient to 18th street.
Advantages Of Location.
There are several good reasons why
this site should be selected for the
clubhouse. First. the point Is ap-
preaching from all points of the COM
pass; II Is equally convenient from
Chevy Chase, the l4th street section.
Takoma Park and downtown.
Secondly. ample parking space for
motor cars already exists near the
proposed site and can be made usable
at very little expense.
Third. one bus line already passes
this entrance, and both the car COM
panies would quickly see the advan-
tage of establishing more during the
golfing months.
Fourth. the southern end Of the
course is by far the most picturesque,
In addition tp its convenience. Be
tween the fairways of the second and
third hole, at an elevated point stands
a huge tulip poplar. with a spread
of branches OF perhaps forty feet. If a
bench should be built around this
tree and at times chairs be provided,

There have been plenty OF demon
strations to prove any of the three
arguments. But there also have been
as many demonstrations to prove the
falsi;y of them. Perhaps the most
marked is the failure of some quar-
terbacks., when chosen captain. to
play up to their previous form when
burdened with the added duties. We
shall see this year what happens to
Buell., Harvard's quartz rback. But
that, too. has not been confined to

The match between Vincent Rich
ards. youthful American Davis cup
team member. and Charles S. Garland
of Pittsburgh, which had been ex-
pected to furnish most of the excite
ment for the spectators. proved dis
appointingly easy for Richards. He
won 81. g. 7-5.
Garland Is Overwhelmed.
In the first two sets the Pitts
burgher seemed unable to gauge either
Richards service or his driving re-
turns and time and again sent the
ball out of the court. He had total
of forty-one outs for the three sets
In the last, however. he found him
self and forced the Yonkers lad to
work hard to keep the match from
going to extra sets. Garlands place
ments in the final set brought his
total for the match up TO twenty-five,
or one more than his conqueror
achieved. On errors. however. he had

AS the teams now stand, they still
leave experienced observers uncon-
WINGED that they possess that elusive
qualification known as class The Ma
tional League as a whole has not given
evidence this year that it Is UP to the
high grade of National League circuits
Of former years.
The Giants, a world championship
team, were held close to their knitting
for a large part of the season, but It
was more because they could not force
the attack than that they suffered from
the superiority OF their opponents. st.
Louis braved its way along by sheer
strength in batting, not because the Car
dnals were superior as f1elders or strong
behind the bat or possessed of corps
OF pitchers which could show its heels to
all. Three times the St. Louis team was
at the point of vantage. where. had It
gone into the lead by a display %
championship ability. it might have
failed to do so because 1t stumbled
over its own feet.
Little Dash Is Displayed.
The teams which trailed the Giants
and St. Louis the greater part Of the
season never operated with that dash
and assurance which must be exhibited
by championship organizations. The
spurt of Pittsburgh convinced no one
of Pittsburgh's strength. 1t merely ir-
ritated many who saw in 1t not so
much display Of the teams winning
ability as a proof Of former unwilling
ness to do its best for a previous man
ager and that is as reprehensible in
professional base ball as in anything
else.
Cincinnati talked about a champion
ship when the Giants looked worse
than usual. but when challenged by
the New York team the Reds slipped
back to their normal latitude In the per-
centage column.
Look all those National League teams
over and then ask why the world cham
pion Giants are not travelling at the
-667 pace which once was deemed the
standard Of a championship team. The
answer seems to be that all the eight
National League clubs are possessed
of weakness rather than strength. II
the Giants had it in them to play 1857
ball they would be SO far out in front
that the elephant would not catch up
with the remainder of the parade until
the next day.
Several Flivvers In American.
The situation in the American League
is little different. except that the New
younger orgarization have drawn away
little by little. until. there 10 a definite
margin between them and the others
of their circuit. Those whe main
tanned that Cleveland was sure to be
in the fight at the. finish, now are con-
realized that Cleveland had been slowly
driving up.
Those who gave. Detroit chance
are equally satisfied of their mistake.
The hard-hitting Michigan team
forced it's way into recognition when
1t had little merit to drive home the
wedge except the weight Of Its bats.
1t generally Is conceded that the
American League has no .667 team in
either of its leaders. The fact that
those leaders have been held to q
percentage around 500 by teams com.
posed of poor material, such a. Cleve-
land, Detroit. Chicago. Washington.

good enough proof that base ball is
not up to the standard set before the
