Tolley's record was established on
the fourteenth hole. On this $40
yard hole, with a par of four, he
made a run of six successive birdie
threes.
The remarkable thing about it was
that the hole did not lend itself to a
demonstration of Tolley's driving
powers AS everybody knows, the
Britisher is a slugger who gets great
distance. But 1t SO happens that
there is a cross bunker on the four
teenth hole at La Boulie which is
placed about ESQ yards from the tee.
Nobody attempts to carry over this
in championship competition. a spoon
shot being the orthodox play off the
tee, followed by a mashie pitch to
the green.
This is the way in which ToIley
played, SO that his long drive was
of no use to him in accommodating his
chain of brides. 1t was his putter
that turned the trick, for he just
couldn't avoid putting the ball in the
hole.
In the five rounds preceding the
finals he had gotten his threes by
holing puts of from 10 to 25 feet.
Against me in the morning round OF
footer with ridiculous ease.
When we reached the fourteenth In
the afternoon round the manner in
which Tolley would perform was
vitality important. At this time we
were all even, with but five holes
to be played, and a break either way
could decide the championship.
BY George" 1 told myself, as we
reached the tee, "he can't keep 1t up.
1t isn't golf-thats all"
I had the honor and fortunately
placed my ball in the exact spot
which l desired to reach Then Il
break came and it was in my favor.
Ny opponent hooked his ball into
rough at the left and then. trying to
get out, looked up and topped his
ball. The result was that he took
a five to get down, while l holed a
four. This put me one up and made
it two up on the fifteenth green by
sinking 20-foot putt. We halved
the next hole, but Tolley won tho
seventeenth, carrying the match to
the final green. We halved that hole,
too, and the championship was mine.
Lucky for me that the Britisher
didn't make his seventh successive
birdie,

Berlenbach VS.. Jack Delaney, and
Sammy Mandell VS., Sid TNerris-this
the program of bouts being planned
by promoters OF the milk fund show
scheduled for early this Summer at

Although the principals have not yet
signed contracts for the matches, the
promoters, representatives of New
York newspaper. said yesterday that
the managers of the contenders had
tentatively agreed to terms and had
promised to sign contracts at the
figures offered.
Wills and Gibbons, both challengers
for Jack Dempseys heavyweight
crown, will meet in the main bout at
Is rounds with handsome purse for
each and a shot at Dempsey for the
winner. A representative of the pro-
moters now on the Pacific coast. who
sought Dempsey for the main attraction.
has telegraphed that Dempsey will not
be ready to fight before Fall, but that in
the event he decides to fight again be-
fore Withdrawing from ring competition.
he will meet the winner Of the Gibbons
Wills match.
Gibbons agreed to the terms some
time ago. but 1t was not until yes
terday that Paddy Mullins, manager
of Wills. who saw that a match with
Dempsey this Summer was doubtful,
agreed to a fight with Gibbons, If the
winner could be guaranteed a fight
with Dempsey.
Berlenbach and Delaney, old time
rivals. will meet in the semi-final, If
the card, as now arranged. goes
through. Mandell and Terris, light

of winning.
"Only the ignorant, or those who do
not care to see, would think for an in
slant that Walter Johnson, OF Peckin-
paugh, or Rice, or Zachary, or Mogr1dge,
or Harris on our team, or Artie Nehf,
or Frisch. or Kelly, or Heinie Groh
would take the chances in these con-
tests that each and all of them will be
willing to take when the real ball games
are under way after April IA. Smart

A continuation of the usual program
of conditioning practice was INDUCED IN
by the squad at Plant Field today, with
bunting as an added task. Fielding
bunts is rather strenuous for the players
at this stage. Leaning over to take the
little taps brings into play muscles
which have been dormant all Winter,
and it is hard.
Pitcher Brillheart gave added evil
dence of the fact that he is quite far ad-
vanced, due to his having worked out
at his Virginia home, by steaming a
number of stingers into the mitt of Ben
| ME Tate, while Tom Zachary, unques-
| tionably in the best condition Of any of
| his previous trips South. was with diff

Altogether the first three days practice

ball fight, where one had to give and
take all of the time, Tener began to
tire of the constant friction, and the
trouble came to head when he made
an open avowal that he would not
hear any more cases as q member of
the national commission, with the
American League in hostile attitude.
Next, in a question of dispute that
arose between him and John j. Nc
Graw, manager of the New York club,
the latter got off with a fine. There
is little doubt that some members of
the National League meant it to be
more than a fine, but an assessm ent
of $1,000 was laid against McGraw
and he was not suspended.
That trouble arose out of an inter-
view printed by a reputable New
York base ball writer concerning
which there was a sharp disagree
ment, and in which Tener was criti-
cized. A trial took place in New
York City. at which John Conway
Toole presided, and the result Of the
session was the levying Of a fine, as
previously related.
During Tener's regime the league
prospered and played some of it's
best championships.

This was the answer of Clark
Griffith, president of the Washington
club, to an article appearing in the
Sporting News, in which it is sta ated
that John McGraw surely played a
sharp trick on the Old Fox when he
induced the latter to arrange the
Spring renewal between the rival
major league pennant winners of last
year.
The facts as to the arranging of
the series with the Giants are as
follows, Griffith states
Some time after the world series
was overland after McGraw had left
for Europe-James J. Tierney, secre-
tary of the Giants-called me on the
phone and suggested a renewal of
the Spring exhibition games between
the two clubs. Seeing an opportunity
to schedule games which would give
us what we go South for-some good
practice before the season opens-1
readily agreed.
'I recall that we have played the
Giants before in the Spring-and
beaten them. We shall play the
games with the McGrawites just as
we would with any other club in ex-
hibition games-to get our team on
edge, and to get line on our rooki':

playing personnel. 1t is too ridicu-

Cured to him that there was a
| bigger field than in professional base
ball and at length he was in the
banking business in Charleroi, Pa.
| 1t was while banker that he got
his start toward being a politician,
| and, finding favor in the eyes Of the
Republicans of the keystone State,
he became governor of their COM
monwealth and was reelected.
The position of president of the
National League appealed to him
when it became evident that politics
were finished for the time being.
and, rather than undertake another
campaign, he decided that he would
enter the base ball field, especially
as 1t had been agreed that he would
be permitted to finish his term In
Office as governor before he took up
the active duties of being head OF a
professional base ball league.
When the subject of electing him
was broached to the National League
the New York club filed an objection,
which was in part one of sentiment,
as it had been New York, through
John T. Brush, who had put Lynch
| in office and the successors of Brush
were not particularly pleased al the
l'mannrler in which Lynch was to be
dismissed and succeeded by another

as that of Lynch had been at the
start However, as the league
| meant to elect Tener no matter how
! the New York club stood, the latter
went in and New York subsequently
| indorsed what had been done.
Tener got along very well for a
time. Then he ran afoul of the same
forces that had made it lively for
other National League presidents. He
also found that the opposition of the
| American League was as strong as
i over, and that the president of the
| American League was as belligerent
| as he had been in other days, when
| it had been his purpose to make the
American League successful, no mat
