Builds American Golf Club Near Buckarnest

BUCHAREST, July 17.-tBy the Associated Press. )-Against strong opposition from the anti-foreign clique which opposed the project for two years, Col. Charles Creole of Philadelphia has succeeded in build ing complete athletic field on the outskirts of Bucharest. The place, known as the Bucharest Country club, goes far beyond the usual linn its of club; 1t Is really a miniature city.
 Through American enterprise the first golf course, the first tennis court and the first baseball diamond in the Balllin countries thus have been opened. In addition there are clubhouse, a polo field, shooting ranges, running track, swimming pool. and a lake for boating and fishing.
 King Ferdinand recently dedicated the grounds, drove the first golf ball; Queen Marie started the initial polo match, and Prince Carol served the first tennis ball. Young Queen Marie of Juso-Slavia threw the first baseball in the game between the members of the American colony and the Rumanian government staff.
 The object of the club Is to afford recreation to members of the Amer. ican colony, but any Rumanian or foreigner is eligible to join.

score the foe, and Roy Moore is credited with another victory.
 Perhaps the offensive ability of the Barons when Moore is on the mound can be found in Roy himself. Moore is undoubtedly the hardest hitting pitcher in the league, if not the greatest of all the sluggers. Moore is batting over 500, and has played in quite a few games. Home runs, trip les and two o-baggerS are fre- quently noted on his hitting rec ord.
 Undoubtedly, the presence of as great an offensive player as Moore is helps to raise the nor ale of his mates, and enables them to join in the slugfest, too.
 As n pitcher, Moore is a suc- cess. As n hitter and n player he is n sensation. It seems that 1t would be the best policy to let Moore play regularly. instead of just every now and then, as the husky mauler shows all the ear- marks of being n genuine star. Where Moore couldn't hold down a major league job as a pitcher, he might be a wonder ns an out fielder or first basemnn-another Sisler or Speaker. Who knOwss
 "If the team can only start hitting again, we can do some- thing in this pennant race" commented Manager Stuffy Stewart Tuesday. And the boss seems to have hit it right. When the pitchers were going poorly, the team was hitting like a bunch of fiends. Now that the twirlers have rounded into fair form, their mates don't seem able to do much with the willow.
 A baseball team is much like a delicate bit of machinery. It requires perpetual tinkering to keep the thing running smoothly. Stuffy is the mechanic, and the fans are pulling for him to keep 4ho Rnrnnin1 n, china r11nnincr

UPON DEATH BED, PUGLLIST POINT s. TO HIS SLAYER
Man Who Fired Fatal Shot Claims It Was Self
 Defense

NEW ORLEANS, July 17.-"Young Cheney" Christian Burkhardt), New Orleans featherwedght pugilist, wide ly known through the south, was shot and fatally wounded in an altercation early today with Alexander Kostaki Burkhardt' died in a hospital two hours later just after he had peered through the darkness of death" as he expressed it, and had identified kostakt as the man who shot him.
 Burkhardt's Identification of Kos taxi was dramatic. The big hospital ward was dimly lighted but the lights were turned on near Burkhardt as the police brought Kostaki to the bed.
 Do you believe you will die?' asked Police Sergeant Albert Prados as he began to take his dying state ment.
 Yes" whispered Burkhardt.
 Who shot you?"
 "A Creek"
 Why did he~shoot you?"
 T can't talk the darkness of death is on me"
 Nostaki was brought nearer.
 Did this man shoot you?"
 The darkness of death is darker l can't see."
 Burkhardt was assisted by a nurse IS he struggled to turn over.
 T can see now. He shot me-"
 The pugilist closed his eyes, his head sank on the pillow and he was dead.
 Kostakl admitted to the police he shot Burkhardt but pleaded self de- tense, declaring he fired only after the pugilist had attempted to draw a weapon. His statement was sup ported by his business partner, Steve Golfos, who is held as an accessory before the fact.

Athletic club devotees are very well pleased with themselves these days The death knell of boxing at the B. A. c. only sound ed a revival call for other activt- ties, and the clubbers are over flowing with enthusiasm for the events they are pulling off in rapid succession.
 Last night was stag night at the club, and a smoker entertain- ment brought forth a highly en- joyable evening for the members present. Dave Evans was in charge of an amateur boxing pro- gram, with his Boys club ath- letes in the limelight. Talks were made and plans outlined for fu- ture activities of the club.
 Saturday will bring forth the long talked-of barbecue and out ing at Pineview Beach. The day will be climaxed by a hop that will last until midnight, with a corking good harmony factory furnishing the jazz.
 B. A. c. officials are jubilant over the success of their member ship drive and are said to be
 
 than the attainment of that 700 membership quota set at the start of the drive. Something start ling may be sprung by B. A. c. officials in a few weeks, it has been hinted by those who are on the Inside, with a bigger, better Athletic club for a bigger, better Birmingham.
 The "barnyard gOIfers. have teed off, and are now chOppiDg away down the fairway, some times with n clear view of the green ahead, but more often faced by the foreboding walls of bunker precipice. Athletic club horseshoe pitchers are in the midst of their first champiOn- ship tournament, and daily can be seen whirlinS the cast iron shoes stakeward. The finals will probably be played at the outing at Ptneview Saturday.
 One can't beat fate. And fate has ordained that the Barons shall face the Crackers three times at Redwood this week. They faced them once, but Tues day it rained and Stuffy Stew arts men evaded the issue for a day. However, they will pay for their evasion by meeting the Crackers twice at the Wood to- day.
 It's the law of baseball per- centages that the majority of the double headers shall be divided. It seems to be the law of the game that the Crackers wallop the Barons as regularly as they meet. It will be interesting to note the effect when these two laws are put to the test this sarily be thrown into the discard.
 Press dispatches state that umpfres In the International league have gone on n strike be- cause one of their number had been released. Maybe that ex- plains the lack of service in the Southern. Perhaps someone re- leased one of the Dixie arbiters, and the others agreed to go on n strike. At any rate, fandOm can testify that the portion of the staff that has been seen Rick wood this season has some ething the matter with 1t.
 The case of Roy Moore, Bar onfal southpaw, Is a strange one. Roy seems to be one of those characters in baseball who has not yet found himself or his true value to the game.
 Moore is listed as pitcher, and he does succeed in winning his games. Roy is always hit hard, and the opposition scores plenty of runs. Meanwhile, the Barons always manage to out

 Carried Off

ATLANTA Ga, July 17.-Robert T. Jones. Jr., and the national open golf championship were at home here to- night after several hundred Atlantans had given the young master a rous- ing reception this afternoon.

 In the van of the crowd awaiting Bobby were the youths mother and father. and Bobby's sweetheart. Kisses were exchanged all round when Bobby stepped from the train, and then the crowd acclaimed Jones as the greatest golfer of all time." An lmprovfsed song of praise was sent up by the hundreds and Bobby was swung up to the shoulders of the crowd about him.
 speech was demanded of the blushtng Bobby. Tears came first, and then just few words. It meant lot to win the national open, Bobby said. but he asserted it meant as much IS the reception accorded him.
 When the official welcoming was done with, the parade through town began. Preceding the car in which Bobby rode with his parents was car with a brass band Atlantans along the line of parade waiting for the champion. cheered him Justify.
