COLT.
CAME ENDS
BY Bingy Bryan

Most golf tournaments are brought
to close as soon as possible, but
this is a story of one which Is con-
sidered the longest on record.
Tournaments been known to require
weeks to decide, but never one which
took two and one-half years to
bring to close.
Back in. 1924, when the Republi-
cans were holding their national
convention in Akron, Ohio, an argu.
ment cropped up as to the best
golfer among the political writer's.
Consequently a tournament was in
the making, then and there, and the
outcome resulted in a tie between
George Holmes of the international
News Service and Larry Benedict
Of the Akron Beacon Journal.
The convention ended, as we all
know, but the players never met
to decide who was best. At one
time they almost played a tele
graphic match, but this was deemed
unwise in the end.
When Akron was left fiat by the
politicians and writer's as we'll, Jim
Preston, of the Senate press gallery,
neatly wrapped the cup and carried
it back to Washington. and has
since displayed 1t as one of his re-
wards for feats "aIinks."
Recently Holmes and Benedict
met at the. Indian Spring Club
course to play off the tournament
and Holmes won. 3 and 2. 1t
brought to close the longest
match on record, gave Holmes an.
other cup and compelled Jim Pres
ton to dig up a new story to tell Of
how he once played the royal and
ancient game.

Not a put out was made at

Pitcher Archie Campbell struck

We know not how others may
feel, although we have a sneak
ing suspicion that human emo
tions are more or less identical,
but we for one shall miss those
itinerants of baseball, Iris
Speaker, Eddie Collins and Ty
Cobb, when the baseball teams
of the American League again
begin to bob in and out Of
Washington.
Odd it is indeed that this
great trio should have been
yeritably cut loose from big
league baseball at almost the
same instant. To many fans of
the present generation they will
always stand out as the Big
Three of baseball.
Whether or not Collins is ac-
utaIly adrift from the game he
graced over twenty years is
problematical. The filling of
the Red Sox managership by
Bill Carrigan. leaves one less
niche in which the erstwhile
Chicago pilot may fit and UNI
less he accepts the proffer of
Connie Mack to assist with the
Athletics, he may really be out
of the big picture.
Cobb came to the majors in
1905, Collins a year later and
Speaker one season after Col
Inns Thus each has served ap-
proximately the same length of
time in the upper strata of the
national pastime and it is more
than coincidence that each has
fulfilled an extremely useful
career afield and each has been
the marvel of his team over
such a splendid span of years.
Few, very few, ball players of
the thousands who have essayed
the game in a professional way,
survive 20 years of it. The
average career of a big Lacquer
is much less than 10 years.
Cobb, Collins and Speaker must,
of a necessity, have starred, or
their records would not cover
so many years.
Many a good ball player of
the type of Bugs Raymond had
brilliant careers which were
greatly curtailed because they
did not know how to live.
Grover Cleveland Alexander is
the lone active example of the
baseball bon-vivant who has
gotten away with it. They are
few and far betwixt.
'ut these baseball changes
will have their compensations,
for new and interesting per-
sonaRes will fill the gaps.
Umpire Moriaritv will have a
new role as leader of the De-
troit Tigers and it will be in
teresting to see if he can do
better with the Jungle material
than did Cobb.
Washingtonians who do not
know Dan Howley, who has
taken over the Browns, have
yet to make the acquaintance
of one Of the most affabIe dis
positions of baseball. He is
one of the smiling, chattering.
pleasant figure of the game
and at the same time can get
the most serious kind of base
ball out of his players. 1t was
Howley, who, as manager of
the Toronto Club, broke up
Jack Dunn's Baltimore monopo-
ly on International League
pennants.
Ray Schalk, now heading The
Chisox in place of Collins, is
