Hagen Seemingly Exhausted.

The gallery. fairly Gasping with eN-

first tee and back and forth across
the fairWay, to the distraction of the
stewards. Hagen rested. seemingly
exhausted. on the ground, while
Mitchell nervously paced the narrow
green of the teeinC section.
Both sent powerful drives far down
the fairway. Then came the ira gedY
of the Briton's defeat; he sliced his
second shot badly into the rough at
the right of the green. Hagen, who
was safely on the green. stood by
blandly while Mitchell. with an almost
hopeless chance of recovering. played
a difficult shot 10 the green, but was
short of the pin
With the confidence of his master,
Hagen's American Caddie started for

missed the target. and Hagen hOled

one incident in connection with the

morning caused the greatest indigna-

match was due to start at 1890. hui
Hagen did not appear at the tee until

This delay on n highly sensitive
player like Mitchell, who was ready
to strike off at the proper time, was
considerable, says the Evening stand.

Waily Schans Delivers.

Old Wally Schang also had u hit
in his system, driving the ball to the
right-tield corner tor two bases to
score McManuS and burst. Gerber
drew a pass and the bases were 1illed
for the second time in the inning.
Nangilder. who hits about once in a

short that was good Tor base. Peck
tried to get Gerber with IA toss to
Boss Bucky, but was too late. The
ambitious SchAng rounded third and
headed for the plate, only to b. caught

The Nationals got Il second score in
the fifth frame that McNeely pried
open with d rousing triple to left cen
ter. Earl SCampered to the plate as

In the sixth, however, the Browns
checked in with another run. Gerber
reached Morrell Coveys successor,

Schang got his second two-bagger of
the game, a slash to LETT to register
Miller at the counting block.
Nangilder was nicked by the Ma
tionalS for a third marker in the
eighth. Bucky Harris began the at
tack with "a double to the left Tield
corner and sprinted homeward when
Sam Rice ritied a single to center.
Cioslin, though, bumped into a double
play with slam to Melillo, and Judge
skied to Harry Rice.
In the eighth inning the Browns
took parting shot at Fergy, and two
runs resulted. Two We're out when
Nelillo walked. Robertson's single to
right was long enough to get Melillo
to second only, but MCManuS hit the
foul mark on the left field wall for
double, chasing both runners home.
A fourth tally was chalked up by
the Nationals in the ninth. Bluege
beat out a grounder to deep short,
but Gerber, who persisted in throw
ing, heaved past McManus, and Ossie
made second. Peck'S single to left
was deep enough to score Ossie, but
for some unknown reason the latter

SORROW" said Chief George McCurdy
of the Augusta Fire Department, yes
terday in speaking of the danger of
fire in homes where proper safety
precautions are not taken during
Christmas week.
"There are many things that do
not occur to the householder as he
prepares his home for the proper OBJ
servance of Christmas, decorating 1t
with tinsel, Christmas trees, orra-
ments Of all sorts and candles" he
continued, but unless these things
are looked after, a harmless Christ
mas celebration might easily become
an occasion of sorrow.
zone custom in particular although
very pretty is dangerous unless pro-
per precautions are taken. That is
the custom of placing lighted candles
in the windows. When this is done
one should be absolutely sure that
lace curtain pulls are no where near
the candles. 1t is not enough that
they do not come close to the flame
when the candles are placed in the
window but it should be remembered
that the chance opening of a door in
another part of the house might
cause a draft which wol Id defect the
flame enough to touch lace curtain
and in flash the room might be
afire.
Candles on the Christmas tree are
dangerous also. Electric lights and
other methods of ornamenting the
tree are much preferable, particularly
if the base of the tree is covered with
cotton batting in representation OF
snow, as is often done.
"All who take the role OF Santa
Claus should be particularly careful
to see that the suit and the whiskers
and hair are thoroughly fire PROCEED

ways of doing this quite easily and
it is well worth the protection. be-
