at breakfast-o the morning of our fifth day, when
from the ethereal vastness overhead came the
drone of a seaplane motor. / trained my field
glasses on the plane, and made out the lettering
Holloway" on the underside of the lower wing.
That's Steve Holloway from Avalon" ! called out
TO Johnston.
We grabbed our guns, jumped on the motor
cycles, and sped toward the cove. There we found
Holloway with his plane riding at anchor, while he
tnkered with the motor. He told us that he had
come out from Avalon comblng the sea for q
derelict motorboat and had sighted 1t.
When we told Holloway about our plan of hunt
ing wild goats from the air he was keen to 70
with us. Let me pilot your plane" he said, "and
then we can have two gunners.' An hour later
we started. We fitted n couple of salt sacks over
the receivers of the two Wlnchesters TO keep the
elected cartridges from flying into the propeller.
Then with Holloway at the wheel we tore out of
the cove. We climbed steadily upward until we
got to an elevation of 2,50e feet. This was high
enough to take us 500 feet over the highest peaks
of the Islands. Then we began scanning the land
scape for goats. We had gone inland scarcely three
miles when we espled a herd OF goats on the top
of a mountain peak a thousand feet below.
1t was agreed that / should make the first try
as aerial gunner, so | crawled out on the nose OF
the %seaplane. by stretching out full length I could
hook my toes over the cowl Of the cockpit, and
could bring my shoulders under two gu wires ex-
tending from the upper wings To the nose Of the
seaplane. In this position my head and shoulders
were protruding out into space and there was moth
ing In front OF me to Interfere with shooting.
Johnston strapped my feet to n strut to avoid any
possibility of my slipping or. and Holloway sent
the plane earthwnrd In a nosediye-I was going
down head first. With my head and shoulders out
over the end Of the plane II seemed as II ! was
riding through space on nothing. flying like a
buzzard and diving down Mt the gonts like an eagle
sweeping upon a quarry. Up came the landscape
and the gonts with n dizzy rush. To all appear
ances we were going to crash against the mountain
top, but with Holloway driving. and knowing that
he had several Boche airplnnes TO his credit dur
ing his service in France, | knew he would "natten
out" In time to prevent our cracking up" on the
mountains.
The gonts nj seeing that giant hawklike enemy
swooplng down upon them seemed to lose every
vestige OF reason. Some Of them Owed headlong
down the mountainslde. Others ran around and
around In circles not knowing which way 10 run,
and still others plunged into the underbrush, or
covered among the rocks for all the world like
b%arnyard fowl when a vagrant hawk approaches.
II wns but n matter Of seconds from the time we
BEGIN the nosedive until we had n~nttened out over
the herd scarcely n hundred feet over their backs
and the jagged top OF the mountain. Goats were
running every which way, some fairly tumbllng

AMERICANS TO START FIGHT FOR GOLF CUP

hole in the final of the 1920 cham pionship.
 Sweetzer since arriving in England has been erratic--brilliant one day. and merely good golfer the next. He took dislike to the course at Deal when first he saw it but. whether he has learned to like it or not, he, at least. has learned to know it. as his practice rounds of Satur- day and Sunday sharply reveal.
 With the exception of Hunter and Lake, the Yankees are well scattered through the draw. which is consid- cred a happy circumstance and will prevent them from cutting one an others throats at the outset. Dr. Will ling, who has first round bye and will not begin play until Tuesday, is in the upper half. So is Ouimet, but Sweetzer and Gardner are in the lower half. and if all goes well with them the first four days, they will meet one another in the sixth round on F'riday-the round before the semifinals.
 Other Apericnns.
 The other Americans in the upper half are John F, Neville, San Fran cisco; Reginald Lewis of Connecticut, George V. Rotan of Texas. Maxwell R. Marston of Philadelphia, Guy Standifer of Washington, D. C., and E. Lake and Hunter. In the lower half are Harrison R. Johnston of St. Paul, Minn.. F. J. Wright, Jr.. of Los Angeles, and s. Davison Heron of Chicago.
 Among the strong English players in the upper half are Roger Weth-' cred, Cyril Tolley, Bernard Darwin. c. c. Aylmer and MT. Tweedale, none of whom will meet an American in the first round. and E. w. E. Hol- derness. the British titleholder. Dr. H. G. Gillies and Mackenzie.
 The Americans in thel first round are paired as follows:
 Francis Ouimet vs. A. H. Read.
 J. F. Neville vs. Lord Maidstone (Royal St. Georges).
 H. S. Lake vs. Robert Hunter.
 Reginal Lewis vs. l.. Schon.
 G. V. Rotan vs. J. A. Board
 Maxwell R. Marston vs. Lieutenant Commander Guy Miller (Shanklin and Sandown).
 G. NJ. Standefer vs. H. Ernest Le Bas.
 Harrison R. Johnston vs H. S. Hol- den.
 Robert Gardner vs c. D. Forester.
 Jess Sweetzer vs. E. N. Layton.
 F. J. Wright, Jr., vs. Commander B. Zimmerman.
 S. Davison Heron vs. J. B. Bed dard.
 Dr. o. F. Willing, bye.
 E. w. Holderness, the eholder, Is paired with J. Wilson Prestwick.
 The list of entrants Is so long that it is unlikely Heron. whC is near the bottom of the first round, will tee off before Tuesday morning.

ager of Eddie Anderson, who meets Red Herring in a 10-round bout at the B. A. C., a week from Monday night. Walsh's message is brief, but neverthe- less contains q word or two of interest for fandom. Here it is, dated May ,:
 Just a few lines in regards to Eddie Anderson the Akron Flash. who meets Red Herring here on the 14th. He defeated Patsy Me Mahon at Indianapolis last night and has met such sterling bat tiers as Johnny Griffith twice. Joe Yelling, Frankie Jones, Frankie Nessler. Charley O'Con- noll, Young Wallace and Bobby 2. Waugh, and numerous others, but these are his best fights. Will arrive in Birmingham three days before the contest and will workout for the fans. Yours truly.
 HAROLD WALSH,
 Akron. Ohio.
 Walsh and Anderson come here from Louisville, where Eddie must have fought Patsy Me Mahon Friday night.
 Patsy McMahOn, the doughty 1rishman who staged two Of the most thrilling battles ever fought at the n. A. C., when he tied up with Rcd Herring in a couple of bouts. gives a fellow a wonderful recon me ndatiOn when he draws with him. But. when Patsy iS beaten by chap, fans begin to look around to discover whether the winner Is really n world heater, or whether some one had tempered with the weights and rung in heavy weight on Patsy.
 It almost seems the habitual thing to be talking about those Bulldogs. but Coach Cope's fight ing gang of East Lake pastimers must be given credit for their wonderful work as their season progresses.
 From an inexperienced squad of candidates, Cope has finally rounded out a smooth machine that plays real baseball. The crowning feat was the series with Camp Benning. Hard luck robbed the Bulldogs of one' game, giv- ing them tie, but they could not be denied in the other. and walloped the Soldiers Saturday, 6 to g.
 The third game of the Panther series will be played at Berry Field Tuesday. with that ace of the staff, Ham Stevens, again on the mound.

PADDOCK SAYS HE WENT ABROAD FOR BENEFIT OF GAME

Editors Note: Charlie Paddock of the University of Southern California, the greatest sprinter in the world has become the rock upon which amateur athletic governing bodies on both sides of the Atlantic may split. He defied the American Amateur Ath- letic association to run in the Paris meet of the International Federation of Students under the management of the Paris University club and was suspended by the Amateur Athletic union. But the American National Collegiate Athletic assoc iaton up held him and thus placed itself can didly in opposition to the Amateur Athletic union.
 Meantime. the French Athletic federation, which in France core spends to the Amateur Athletic union threatened to suspend all French athletes participating in the meet. Many of the best Olympic ath- letes in France. gladly courted this disqualification in their fcrvor to sup port Paddock. The prospective out laws have made tentative plans to hold an independent Olympic meet" next year if they and Paddock are barred from the regular Paris Olym- pics, and the United States ambassa dor. Myron T. Herrick. has appealed avoid this disturbance by resembling its bah against Paddock and the pres enl 'aris games.

A. P. !. IS WINNER OVER ARMY TEAM INV PISTOL MATCH
Auburn Wins From West Pointers By Margin Of 30
 Points Saturday

AUBURN, Ala, May 6.-(Special.)- The pistol team representing the re- serve officers training class of the Alabama Polytechnic institute won over the United States Military acad' emy in a match fired Saturday after noon, it.was learned here today upon the receipt of a telegram from West Point to the Auburn military authori- ties announcing the score made by the academy. The official score as announced here this morning by the Auburn officials was: Auburn 2.092 and the Military academy 2,062 which gave the Auburn pistolers 30-point lead. Auburns score of 2.092 was out of possible score of 2,24O, with Sergt. George Moxham in charge of

SANDWICH, England, May 6.-(By Associated Press )-Visiting Ameri- can golf players tomorrow will begin the battle for the British golf cham pionship at Deal in field where the warrIors with wood and iron clubs will aggregate almost 200 of the most skillful players in the United king dom.
 When the sun sets beyond the club house of the Royal Cinqueport golf club tomorrow evening at least one of the fourteen Yank players will have fallen by the wayside, beaten by a compatriot. By the luck of the draw, Robert Hunter, of Califor- nia will meet II. S. Lake. of Hart ford. Conn, in the first round.
 But it is almost certain that some of the Americans will keep going for several days, perhaps even to nnish on Saturday, for the American team is regarded as the strongest set of 'n- vaders that ever came across seas in quest of the honor of the English fairwayS.
 Threat Has Weight.
 There is general feeling that the threat to take the title across the Atlantic to the United States has good chance of success. 1t would be a success which has been achieved only once before-ln j3U4 when Walter J. Travis, who thrice has been amateur champion at home. added the British title to his string. Englishmen who like to think they know good golfer when they see one are candid in saying they be- lieve Francis Ouimet of Boston is the best bet of the Yankees. They assert they would not be surprised if he achieved this week the ambition which began bringing him across the ocean as far back as 1914.
 Regard for the affable Bostonian has been high in England ever since the day 10 years ago, when, as boy of 19, Ouimet, after tying Vardon and Ray for the American open cham pionship. defeated these two wise old timers in the play-off for the title. The estimate of Ouimet rose higher still. if possible, when last week he won the Royal St. George cup at three days of steady, sure and sound play-days in which the temper of the game of others. among them Englands best amateurs, rose and fell like the Sandwich course itself. Admire pr. Willing.
 By the same experience, the Eng fish learned to admire Dr. o. F. Will ing, of Portland, Ore, from whom Ouimet won the cup by a single stroke in the play-off of tie. But they have not yet conceded Willing parity with such stars as Oumet. Robert Gardner, captain of the Amer ican team, and Jess E. Sweetzer, the American amateur champion. They know what Gardner can do, for he carried Cyril Tolley. the sterling
 English player, to the thirty y-sevent

Back from a trip to the gulf coast. Jte Dunn and his Barons will show their sun-burned faces at Redwood Monday afternoon for the first time in over week. Every afternoon for about two weeks. those self-same tanned faces will be seen at the Wood, as Dunns men have 12 games scheduled at home before leaving On another road trip.
 The tribe of Memphis, the Chickasaws of Tennessee, will oppose Dunn's men for the first time of the year Monday after noon. It will be the first appear ance of Johnny Dobbs' pastimers at the Wood this year. and his first appearance here as pilot of the Memphis Chicks.
 \ wire from Mobile last night. before the BarOns left for home, stated that Plateau Cox will twirl the opener against the Chicks. Cox has been on the mound sev- crnl times this year, hut 1t was only the last time that he showed any form at all. He has been around fine now. and k expected
  from now on.
 
 Phil Morrison, heftiest of the tribe of Baronial hurlers, is one of the most pitiful examples of a jinX ridden twirler available at present. Phil has lost more games by one-run margins this year, probably, than any ether pitcher in the league.
 On the road trip just closed, Phil lost hard luck affair to New Orleans. to l. and another to Mobile Sunday. 1 to o. Phil always holds the opposition to low scores, but the boys don't seem able tC hit much behind his pitching. That's a jinX that will spoil a pitchers record more than any other thing in baseball.

Double headers win begin at 2s15. he says. Billy added that ladteS pass hooks are almost gone. ana that he expects the supply to be exhausted by the end of the week.
