and Country Club-of all classes
from little Johnny up to his

A BUSY golfing month for the
~ players of the Washington Golf
~ and Country Club-of all classes
4 a from little Johnny up to his
daddy-is planned by the golf
committee of the club whose chairman
Fred D. Paxton. is recovering from an
illness which has kept him from his be-
loved course for many months now.
The first event on the program of the
club is the tournament for the junior
championship, which will be played
September 9. and will be open to all
members of the club under 81 years of
age. The winner will have his name
engraved on the Alexandria Gazette
trophy and will be given a gold medal
presented by Charles H. Doing. jr.,
president of the golf organization in
nearby Virginia. Next on the program
will come an event that has the maxi
mum of interest to all classes of golfers
OF the club-the annual tourney for the
father and son championship. In this
tourney in past years Frank K Roesch
and his father-C. H. RoeSch-have
been the outstanding figures. But this
year their supremacy will be challenged
by several first-class family combina-
tlons-chief among them the T. d.
Webbs.
Entries for tourney close September 7
and the pairings will be made at once
with the first round scheduled to be
completed by September IA. The con-
testants will play in foursomes, and will
play alternate shots from tee, fairway
and green.
The next event will be the annual
club championship, the date for which
has not yet been set, but which will
be held as early in October as possible.
Frank K. Roesch has won the cham
pionship for the last three years, but
this year formidable opponent looms
IN MS path in the person of young
Henry D. Nicholson, who recently shot
the course in CT and has been burning
up the Virginia links almost every time
he has stepped from the first tee.
Roesch has not played much golf this
year, but undoubtedly will be in con-
dition to defend his title.
Tommy Webb, too, will be in there
In the attempt to lift the club title.
Young Webb is no easy opponent, as
will b. noted by his score Of last sun
day. when he registered II, one over
par.
With all these events programmed,
the coming Fall season will be busy
one for the golfing gentry of the Vir-
ginla club. But In addition, there will
be the competition for the Birney cup,
which is open to club members with
handicaps Of ID and more, and usually
is played at the same time as the club
championship. And meanwhile the
ringer competition still continues, with
the pace settlers of the early days
Ralph S. Fowler and Erwin P. Hair
still out in front Of the procession,
poised for the stretch struggle to the
wire. Fowler leads in the event today
with selected score of So, which is

II Arthur J. Shafer. native Of
4 A Los Angeles. Shafer was not
always golf player.
In 1909 a youngster played such sem
sational base ball for Santa Clara COL
lege that McGraw signed him for the
New York Giants. and he came directly
to the major leagues. Here he proved
that the things which had been said OF
his ability we're true.
Shafer played with the Giants the
latter part of 1909 and through 1902
That Winter he went to Japan and
coached the japanese college teams. He
did not report to the Giants in 1911,
but returned In 1912. After that he
retired at the peak Of his efficiency and
went into business. taking up golf as
his recreation.
Shafer probably was one of the great
est natural ball players who ever came
to the big leagues. He could hit, field
and throw. and he was as fast as
whippet. So good he was, in fact, that
McGraw probably did more to humor
him than he ever did any other player
he had. The leader of the Giants al
ways believed that only his temperament
kept Shafer from being one of the
greatest players Of all time.
Never Liked Game.
A natural base ball star, Shafer never
liked professional base ball. The play

and 1 don't think he liked that much,
either. Base ball didn't have quite the
collegiate atmosphere in those days that

amply able to take care Of himself.
didn't like the atmosphere Most of
the players had aggressive manners.
fine vocabularies and little real social
standing.
Shafer was young. trained to college
society, and liked the social life, with
which his profession appeared to inter-
fere. He said to me once:
When 1 meet some nice, pretty girl
she sometimes asks me to her house,
and sooner or later meet her family.

N YEW YORK. August 28.-Unless
William Tilden breaks a leg or

4 outside favorite to win the ma

which begins week from next Satur-

He has reached an age where an up

before those sprightly Frenchmen butted

1t should be understood that Tilden
