COAL VALLEY,
 EMPIRE MEET Jake Levy And Frank Chambers May Be Bat-
 tery Mates

EMPRIE, Ala, June 15.-As hot a race as semi-pro baseball can offer is be- ing staged in tie DeBardeleben Coal league this season, and one of the most torrid of many hot battles is expected here Saturday when Empire and Coal Valley clash. The locals went into the lead last week and are now one game ahead of Coal Valley.
 In interesting feature of this weeks game is the possibility that Empires battery may be Jake Levy and Frank Chambers, the 1920 allstate battery of the Central High school in Birming- ham. Levy has since starred in profes- sional baseball, while Chambers was the backstop for the University of Alabama freshmen, the strongest first year team in the south.
 It is not assured that Levy will be in shape to pitch, and even if he is, it is not likely that a choice between Levy and Pace as starter will be made until just before the contest. Pace has been the mainstay of the local staff, despite his occasional cratic tendencies. Either could probably do a good job of the mound work.
 Another strengthening factor will be the presence of Francis Pratt at third base for Empire. Pratt was captain and star of the 1921 Alabama Crimsons and has seen service in the majors. With his addition Empire claims the finest all-around infield in the loon. with Creel, McClain, Dewey, Simons and Pratt.
 The other game for this week is be- tween Townley and Sipsey. Both of these combinations are very strong and their lowly position in the race is a mystery. Each is feared by the other contenders, and it occasioned no suprise when the tailenders slammed Coal Val ley for loss last week and knocked them out of the league leadership.

MarStOn Defends
On Home Course
Davey Heron, Who Won at
OakmOunt in 1919, One of
Few to Triumph on ''Home
Grounds"
BY Joe Williams

This year the national amateur
championship will be held over the
picturesque Merton Cricket Club
course in the Philadelphia district.
Merton is the home course of Max
Marston, who won the title last sum
mer for the first time after II
years of effort.
Whether a golfer enjoys any par
ticular advantage on his home course
is dcbatablc. Certainly it should not
be handicap. 1t is important to
know the lay of the land, roll of the
turf and arrangement of traps.
Still, few players are able to win
big tournaments on their home links.
Davey Heron is one con Spicuous
exception that comes to mind. Her
ron came up from nowhere, in a
golfing sense, to win at Oakmont, his
home course, in 1919, running away
from Bobby Jones in the finals.
Heron was the sensation of the
week. Not only did the steel man
win all his matches with ease but a
check of the scores revealed that he
led the whole field in stroke play
as well. Heron just happened to be
in an inspired mood. Very likely he
would have done equally as we'll if
the tournament has been decided in
the Fiji Islands.
Chick Evans should have been
perfectly at home at Flossmoor last
summer, q course over which he had
often played, yet the Chicagoan was
knocked out in the first round.
The year before at Brookline
Francis Ouimet, whose home adjoins
the course, and Jesse Guilford, who
knows every blade of grass on the
place, were favorites, chiefly because
they were cunning in their owr
back yard. Both went out early anC
the title was captured by Jesse
Swcctser, Yale man from New
York, who had played Brooklinc bu
| three times previously. No, Marstol
won't win at Merton this year be
cause it happens to be his HON,
course. If he wins it will be bccaus,
| he played the kind of golf tina
produces championships. The HON,
grounds may be important in base
ball. They aren't in golf.
