tance of only $50 yards, while my
drive was straight and we'll down
the fairway.
But you can't always tell. My op-
ponent, peeved by his bad luck, took
his iron and hit terrific second
shot, his ball ending up eight feet
past the flag. My second was not so
good. Although on the green, l was
so far away that 1 had to play an
approach putt.
After 1 had done this, bringing my
ball about 80 inches from the cup, l
discovered a very interesting and
also very annoying fact. That mas
terly second shot of Woods had con-
siderably changed the surface of the
green. His ball. in fact, had dug a
long, narrow groove in the soft
ground eight inches from the cup.
This groove was directly between my
ball and the cup, but in such a po-
sition that 1 would have to putt
across it obliquely.
1t was as nasty as a stymie, and
after Wood played to a spot where
four seemed certain 1 thought sit
was all up with me. 1 didn't even
try to figure out my play. but just
gave the ball a reckless tap. 1 don't
know how it did it, but it crossed
that groove as If it didn't exist and
ducked straight into the hole. Wood
missed his putt and 1 won the hole
and the title.

And there's another day of rest

postponements. the Friday holiday
will be the last for the Bucks until
they use one travelling from the West
to Boston the latter part of the month
for the final series of the campaign.
September II would have been an
off-day for the Bucks, but they will
use it for an exhibition game in Pitt

town. The club will stop off there
en- route from Philadelphia to Detroit
and swing into action against the
local outfit. In all likelihood the reg
ulars will be in the contest only an
inning or two, the reserves replacing
them.
1t is not the policy of the manage
ment to indulge in exhibition con-
tests with the team in the thick of
the flag chase, but the Pittston game
was scheduled mainly to show Harris
fellow citizens just what kind of a
club their townSman can make.

MT. RAINIER-G. A. O.
REPLAY ARGUED tilt

Yesterdays game having precipi-
tated a controversy, due to a mix-up
in the seventh inning, Mount Rainier
and the G. A. o. nine were to replay
their match today at 4:3O O'Clock at
Mount Rainier. in the second of a
three-game series for the unlimite ed
title of the Washington Base Ball and
Athletic Association.
When darkness threatened yeSter-
day in the seventh, Mount Rainier
was in the front, and it Is alleged to
have taken the field with but two
outs charged against it. due to mis-
understanding of a ruling by the UNI
pire. G.. A. o. came back in the
eighth and pushed over three runs, to
offset the three scored in the same
round by Mount Rainier. giving the
Accountants a supposed victory by a
one-run margin.
The Washington Base Ball and
Athletic Association has not officially
ruled on the controversy regarding
yesterdays game. Should Mount Raj
nier win today, there is some possi-
bility that G. A. O. will file a protest
on yesterdays tilt.

FRENCH-AUSSIE NET
CLASH OPENS TODAY

BROOkLINE. Mass. September A.
The nation which will challenge the
United States for the team champion
ship Of the world in lawn tennis will
come out of the interZone Davis cup
match between Australia and France,
which will be played today and the
following two days on the courts of
the Longwood Cricket Club here. The
program calls for two singles matches
today.
The first match will be between
Gerald Patterson, the captain of the
Australian team, and Rene La CoSte,
the youngest member of the French
quartet. Pat OHara Wood. best
known as a doubles player, will then
uphold the Australian cause against
Jean Borotra, the French captain.
With Woods ability to win his
singles matches in question, the
Patterson-La Coste meeting has i'm
portant bearing on the ultimate
choice of Americas opponent in the
challenge round. Should La Coste de-
feat the powerful Patterson. the
French chances of facing the United
States are believed to be assured even
though a victory for Australia in
doubles is conceded. A double defeat
of Wood and a La Coste victory over
Patterson would give the French
team the three points necessary to
win the right to meet the American
holders of the Davis cup.

TINY CHESS GENIUS

of Detroit, four years ago easily de-
feated julius Rosenwald. Chicago

of chess at the latters home here
1t now is apparent that those few
moves may prove the most important
the tiny genius ever made. Mr..
Rosenwald is making arrangements s
to take over the direction of his edu-
cation and to bring him to Chicago.
Rabbi Saul Silber, president of the
Hebrew Theological College, Chicago,
believes the chess marvel holds great
promise as a Hebrew theologian, and
if Sammy agrees, Mr.. Rosenwald
plans to enter him in the Chicago
college, paying all his expenses.

parents, when eight and one-half years

And 1908 was a presidential cleo
ton year, too. There's a deal of
Political arguing going on now. In
fact. in every way one looks at this
season, one sees the 1908 campaign
in everything except the particular
G. ubs involved.
Managers Similar. Too.
This similarity between the seasons
may comfort some of the timid fans
who are loath to believe the Bucks
will stand the gaff of the desperate
September drive and finish ahead of
the Yankees. But it is not calcula ed
to inspire any confidence in the
hearts of the Giant rooters.
And the Bucks in the main are
being helped by just the thing that
kept Detroit going through that
strenuous past campaign-a fiery
manager. Whenever the Jungle Cats
began to feel the pressure of the
struggle too much, Hughey Jennings
was right at hand with his shrill
whistle and words of encouragement,
and the team popped up instantly.
Jennings. more than anything else,
kept in the race to the finish a team
potentially strong, but not great.
And the Bucks are potentially
strong in almost every department of
the game, although not a great club.
But inspired by their young manager,
Stanley Raymond Harris, the Bucks
at times achieve greatness. Harris
has developed the hustling, aggres-
sive never-Say-di spirit of the team
and kept it alive under all conditions
and in every crisis.
1t is his remarkable leadership as
we'll as the fighting qualities of the
players that ought to tell in the last
23 games the Bucks will play. They
have. on past performances against
the clubs they are to meet, rougher
rivals. the Yankees. but the Bucks
have tackled rough roads before this
season and gotten over them with
but few bumps.
They have not found the going so
easy against the club they are to
meet today in the initial encounter
of the last series of the year in Clark
Griffith Stadium. The Red SoX proved
tough customers when they first ap-
peared here this season, and were
much tougher when the Nationals
first invaded Boston. When Harris
and his crew went to Beantown in
May, they won but one of four en-
gagements.
Bucks in Fine Fettle.

Leaders Have Stumbled.
Each of the four first division clubs
in the American League has shown
this year a tendency to stumble and
spill the beans at one time or another.
That is why, with even such short
time to go, it is imprudent to say that
Washington and New York have the
race between them.
Detroit and st. Louis can raise n
awful lot of mischief between them
If they get going again. If they do
not, the race will become a dual af-
fair, with both of the contenders
playing away from home as the
championship is being decided.
It's really tough luck for Washing

playing SO fine a part New York fans
have been through all the thrills Of
seeing the championship won ION

Giants and Brooklyn will wind up
their fights on the home lots, while
Pittsburgh has the far-from home
role of the present American League
leaders.
If the Pirates have the nerve and
courage they may win the champion
ship with what they are carrying in
the way of players, but they have
got to remember that the ninth
inning is just as important as any
other. Many a contest is saved by a
desperate rally at the finish-and in
a race like the National every game
counts.
