Chances to Win Cham
pionships

One Of the paramount problems
which the golf solons the world
over must solve Is that OF the
golfing gallery.
The golf gallery is unique in it.
self. 1t has no accurate stadium
in which to sit. Instead it must
travel the course on foot, striving
to gain a position Of advantage.
When the gallery passes the two
hundred mark 1t becomes unruly
from a players point of view. Po
Icing or handling golf galleries
still is in its infancy, and many
clubs have yet to install system
to master the doings Of the gather
ings.
Several of the worlds leading
golfers have suffered from the de-
votion of the sports followers. In
1921, at st. Andrews, Tommy Ker
rigan had a fine chance to win
the British open. With nine holes
left a record breaking crowd forced
him to delay ten minutes at vari-
Gus intervals. He lost.
When Max Marston played Jess
Sweetser at Flossmore the gallery,
anxious to get a flying start for
the next position of vantage,
knocked Sweetser down as he drove
on the thirty eighth hole.
This year in the British open
Macdonald Smith rushed into a
10000 gallery at Prestwick. Not
10000 calm spectators, but a fren.
zied mob. A favorite for the title,
Smiths temperament got the bet
ter of him, and Barnes came
through for the championship.
AS golf continues to grow in pop.
ularity one wonders just what the
gallery will do in a few years in
the final round Of national cham
pionship to see the contestants In
action.

ZACH. To Go
AGAINST
HOLLIS
Thurston Is chicago's Choice
To Stop Griffmen in
Third Game
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CHICAGO, July 9.@ezebel
Tecumseh Zachary, who claims
not to have lost a game to the
White Sox in the last three years,
in expected to do a little work on
The mound today. If he happens
20 have one Of his good days, he
should win. On the other hand,
if he happens to have one OF his
bad DAYS he will pass half dozen,
allow five hits, hit two batsmen
and get the hook right early.
The world champions are going
somewhere and cannot afford such
pitching but if Zach happens to
feel right the Sox are in for
another drubbing at the hands
and feet of the Griffs.
Hollis Thurston will probably be
called upon to hurl for the Sox.
That isn't worrying Bucky Harris
much. A year ago Thurston was
q much better pitcher than he Is
now yet he found it well nigh i'm
possible to stop the .Washingtonians.
Just how he can figure out today's
skirmish a victory for himself can
not be discerned with the naked
eye on a moonlight night.
Stanley Coveleskie, who won his
tenth straight victory yesterday in
easy fashion. complained Of lame
dog before climbing the mountain,
but he gave no sign Of 1t during
his performance.
Today he admitted that he
might have been wrong about that
T. n q
to show how well he was.
Dutch Ruether, who lost a tough
game Tuesday 2 to is about re-
covered from the injury he received
In Boston and he is sure to start
one game in st. Louis. Ruether
has q tough looking thigh where
Val PicInich's terrific liner landed
but the veteran southpaw insists
that 1t will soon be all right and
that it is nothing to worry about.
Some of these ball players, that is
the right kind, are hard guys make
no mistake about that.
Two more games remain to be
played in this series. Tomorrow
night the world champions depart
for st. Louis, where they have four
more games to play before heading
East. The players are watching
the scoreboard every day, keeping
then eyes on the Mackmen. They
do no: seem to worry much about
the White Sox or the Detroit Tigers.
The As occupy all their attention.
Curley Ogden Is almost certain
to start q game in st. Louis. The
sheik Of Swarthmore has asked
20 be allowed to start a game now
and then whenever il will not In
terfere with the regular work Of
the first string hurlers, and Mana
ger Harris, who places great faith
In Curley. is inclined to use him.
With Zachary due to start today'S
game here and Johnson following
him tomorrow, it is possible that
Ogden will open the series in st.
Louis on Saturday. The sheik
warmed Up yesterday, showing a lot
Of stuff, and Hank SEVERED vouches
for his condition.
Hank Says the sheik should pitch
turn for the remainder of tho sea.
SOIL, something Bucky Harris may
do. using five regulars instead Of
four. This will give the veterans
like Coveleskie. Johnson and Rueter
