was the first time any player has drop
ped as low as 80.
Yesterday must have been good day
for par shooting, for, two professional
golfers Of washington clubs paid their
first visit to the rugged Bannockburn
course and one of them knocked the
ball around that hilly expanse in 70
strokes, with every putt holed, while
another had 70. with two conceded
puts, where another member of the
four-ball game had holed a birdie and
the try for a par was 1nconsequential.
Bob Barnett OF Chevy Chase and j.
Monro Hunter Of Indian Spring were
the gents who shot the Bannockburn
layout In even par and the scores OF
both might have been better had they
known the course, for to both it was
their first experience at Bannockburn.
Three deuces came from the trenchant
clubs of Barnett and Tony Sylvester,
the rotund and genial Bannockburn
pro, as they proceeded to show Hunter
and w. r. McCallum how to putt on
those rolling Bannockburn green's.
Those deuces constituted the winning
margin, for Barnett and Hunter won
by and g.
Barnett missed two short puts, or

put up remarkable exhibition on a
course that was slow and soggy from
recent rains. He reached the second
green with two crashing wooden-club
shots from the back tee, while Hunter
put a pair of mighty shots together to
reach the tenth green and secure a
birdie 4. Barnett missed short puts on
the third and tenth, or his score might
have tied the record for the course.
Sylvester holed sloping down-hill putt

the edge of the green at the fifteenth

laying mashie pitch stone dead at

GENARO is FACING
REAL FISTIC TASK
BY WILBUR WOOD.

NEW YORK, April 10 Opal
frankie Genaro is to attempt that
most difficult of fistic featS. the resur-
rection of a lost title, when he meets
Midget Wolgast in Madison Square
Garden next month.
Only a handful Of boxers have been
successful in regaining their seats In
the throne room. Those who come to
mind are Pete Herman. Joe Lynch, Ted
kid Lewis, Jack Britten, Stanley
Ketchel and Billy Papke. There may
have been others but we can't recall
them at the moment.
Insiders in the sock market always
have taken the passing of the bantam
weight laurels from Herman to Lynch
and back again with more than a
grain of salt.
Just before going to London in jan
uary, 1921, Herman met Lynch right
here in New York and lost the decision
and the title Pete and his manager
knew what happened when Willie
Richie put the lightweight title on
the line In London a few years earlier.
If Herman had taken his crown to
England with him 1t would have been
at Stake in the Wilde bout. So, for one
cause or another, Herman lost the
championship to Lynch before he sailed.
Several months later, when Pete came
back from the other side, Lynch oblig-
ingly gave him a return bout and Her
man neatly reclaimed the honors.
Lynch himself took possession OF the
crown once more when year later he
knocked out Johnny Bun, who had
acquired the championship In the
meantime by outpointing Herman.

FISHER AND SUHR
LEADING ROCKIES
Card and Pirate Youngsters
Showing Batting Power
in Early Games.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,


N YEw YORK, April 1s.-At this
M early date, the two best first
year men In the National
League from batting stand
point are George Fisher of the st.
Louis Cardinals and Gus suhr Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
BY midseason either or both of these
recruits may be sitting on the bench
wondering what happened to their stick
work, but right now both are batting at
an amazing clip. the more astounding
in that the 1880 season, so far, has
seen the pitchers dominate play.
In four games in the outfield for the
Cardinals, Fisher, who spent many years
with Buffalo in the International
League, has cracked out IL hits in II
times at bat for an average of .786. II
he bats half of that for the entire sea-
son he probably would win the league
batting championship.
Suhr, up from San Francisco of the
Pacific Coast League. has been at bat
is times off1cially, made safe hits for
percentage of 500 and played a bang
up game at first base for the Pirates in
the bargain.
Fishers showing has been particu-
larry astonishing. John McGraw, man
ager Of the Giants, thought so little of
the Buffalo veteran that he threw him
in as an extra in the trade that brought
Willie Roettger to the Polo Grounds and
sent Doc Farrell to the Cardinals a few
days before the season opened.
Fisher hit 1886 in $50 games for Buff
falo and batted out % doubles, IL triples
and SO home runs. Suhr played In 202
games for San Francisco and achieved
batting average of .38l. Among his
safe hits were 81 home runs, triples
and 81 doubles.

exhibition of golf they saw on
the last nine holes Of the Virginia
course yesterday really came from the
clubs Of one Of their fellow members, or
whether Bobby Jones paid flying visit
here and injected himself into the pro-
ceedings in the person of P. w. Calfee
the gent who found yesterday that par
is just a fictitious figure and that
shooting the last nine holes in SO
strokes-or better than paris just
as easy as shooting it in As.
Paul v. Keyser, Denise Barkalow anC
Russell Jewell, all Of whom are enthu-
looked at the finest bit Of golf that
ever has been recorded on that difficult
and narrow last nine at Washington as
Calfee rolled in putt after putt fol
brides, finally eliminating the exhibit
ton by sinking short mashie pitch
shot for an eagle on the fifteenth and
then finishing the last three holes In
even par for O nine-hole card OF 30
which is one stroke better than that
nine ever has been played in before
Calfee has been known for many years
as demon putter and hard man tc
beat because he can putt so well, but
even he was surprised at the way his
ball found the hole on this marvellous
last nine holes. He was out in AZ and
back in 80 for score of u, which, in
cidentally, is his best mark for the
course. Three brides and an eagle
came from the clubs of Calfee as he
blazed his way around the golf course
and set record that probably will last
q long time. Jewell, who is one of the
leading players Of. Washington, was
playing par golf, but his exhibition
paled before the remarkable display by
Calfee. The score might well have
been a stroke lower, for his putt for q
3 on the twelfth hole hung on the LIP
of the cup, where another half turn
would have given him three consecu-
tive brides. But the gods of golf, who
decree that affairs of the rolling bal
shall even themselves up, permitted hin
to hole the pitch shot at the fifteenth
to make up for the one that did not &C
in at the twelfth. Here is Calfee's card
for the nine, with par:

At the close of play April II, London
cabled suggestion that all the unfin-
ished games be called draws. This sug-
gestion was not acceptable to N. T.
Whitaker, captain of the local team.
London had already won in one game
and drawn in the only other game fin
ished, and to have accepted would have
given London the victory by the score
of 81. to 21a. AS London had defeated
both Chicago and New York by the
Identical score of to 2, the Washington
team would have done better than either
of them. London had its best team out
for this match.
