HOPEFUL.

NORTH BERWICK, Scotland,
May 22.-Three days on the Muir
field course under bright Scottish
skies have served to raise the spirits
of the American Walker cup team
here for practice for the British
amateur championship which opens
next week.
The Scottish public, which has
given close attention to the play
or the Americans, is inclined tc
favor an American to win the
tournament and the championship,
Bobby Jones, George Won Elm
Francis Ouimet and Chick Evans
are picked by the gallery, ranging
from British peers down to Scottish
caddies, as the most likely candi'
dates for the championship.
There is no really sound basis for
the superstition that an American
may win, for there are 216 starters
in the tournament and every starter
Is potential winner, and the Amer
cans have demonstrated in their pre-
liminary matches that they are far
from invincible.
The MuirfieId course resembles
many of the Florida courses and in
it's present condition offers many
fine targets for the highly deVel
Oped American pitch shots.
The fairways are still fairly soft
and one gets what he drives with
little or no roll. and good second
brassie shots count. The fairway
grass is fairly wiry, however, giving
- d.. HA 4rafV q
good line. The greens are little
tricky.
All of the American players are
satisfied with their play here thus
far, with the exception of Watts
Gum, the Atlanta youth, who de-
clares his game is rotten
The Americans are being enter
tanned extensively, and are being
banquetted by the Lord Provost of
Edinburgh.
Charles Evans, of Chicago, who
was not selected for the Walker
Cup team, is stopping i'm Edin-
burgh and rides to the course
each day i'm a public bus, while
the members of the Walker Cup
team whiZz by him i'm large pri-
Vate cars.
Edinburgh bookmakers are lay
ing good odds against the Amer
leans. Those canny gentlemen be-
lieve Bobby Jones has the best
chance of winning and are laying
10 to l against him, while offering
longer odds on the other American
entries.
Thus far Chick Evans has dis
played the best golf of any of the
Americans. Yesterday he turned
in a card of S3 for the last nine,
and though he picked up his ball
on one hole going out, it is esti-
mated that had he, played the hole
out he would have scored a So.

Latzo Must Defend
Title Within
90 DAYS

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-
Pete Latzo, newly crowned wei
ter champion, must defend his
title within ninety days on the
soil of his home State. This
unofficial edict has been issued
by the Pennsylvania Boxing
Commission at Scranton, to be
officially sanctioned later when
the solons hold their weekly
meeting in this city.
Latzo's opponent will prob
ably be Mickey Walker, the
king he dethroned after ten
rounds in the huge armory at
Scranton on Thursday night.
Mickey said he was eager to-
meet his conqueror, and that he
felt sure he would reverse his
defeat in the spectacular titular
feud that saw the weller crown
pass from Jersey to Pennsyl-
vania.

SANDLOTTERS'
SALT AND
PEPPER

The mark of fame is stamped on
Cookie Mayer, latest to join the Nit.

home runs than any other sandlotter

won a trophy presented by Babe
Ruth.
He comes here Of a consequence
with a heavy reputation. The War
wicks will try his skill as a bingler
tomorrow. They will face Mt. Rainier

Many sandIOt home runs are due
more to erTHtic fielding and freak
conditions than to powerful bat
swings. The average ball used in
. SandlOt game is not as lively as
those with which the big IeaguerS
play. Rough diamonds and much
usage take some Of the life out Of
the sphere.
The life of baseball under the big
top is short, sometimes lasting a few
seconds. One pitch sometimes con-
stitutes a spheres major league
career. Who remembers a day, about
10 years ago, when Harry Hooper,
first up for the Red Sox, socked a
homer over the right field wall off
the first ball Walter Johnson dealt
him? Twas the games only tally.
Just about the time Babe Ruth
began his home run career In
earnest Washington had young
'sandlotter Of great promise as a
distance clouter. His name was
Joe Gulick He was member of
the Roamer Club. Gulick used to
hit a homer about every game or
so and sandwiched in other extra
base hits. Had the Roamer Club

season or so it's group of young

the strongest sandlot team in his
