n n ARCHING through Georgia has
m taken On number Of new
N complications since Sherman's
day. If you don't think so,
ask q number of golf professionals in
the South. What with Bobby Jones,
the Flying Squadron Of the Red Clay
Hills, dashing from one front to an
other, it Is no easy matter to capture
any Georgia fortress without paying a
heavy penalty.
Horton Smith, the Missouri Flyer,
captured Savannah by @ single stroke.
but he had to travel at the pace Of Q
under even As for 70 holes to slip by.
Now an even stronger array of talent
is invading Augusta for the Southeast
ern open, and once more the same
r. T. Jones, IT,, is on hand to offer all
the resistance he can grind out Of wood
and iron.
enemy, it would be q tough blow If
Augusta also fell, thereby crowding the
dashing Bobby back to Atlanta for a
final stand. It so happens this Augusta
party will be Bobby's last hard compe-
tition before opening his British in
vasion at the head Of the Walker Cup
team, where he will transfer his swing
to at least three and possibly four
European fronts.
This doesn't mean that he is merely
warming up at Augusta against Sara
zen, Farrell and over hundred others.
When r. T. Jones, tr., goes into action,
he shoots the works, and at least no
one can ever offer an abb in his behalf
that he wasn't trying.
The Augusta competition at 70 holes
has a high-class field for Mondays
start, and It viii be interesting to see
whether or not another pro can break
through the Jones defense Of Georgia
soil.
AIl-Around Athletes.
COME recent polite mention Of the
- all-around athletic abilities Of
Booth Of Yale and Wood Of Harvard
has stirred UP quite debate.
One nomination is Tom Churchill
Of Oklahoma University. On what

has played end, guard, tackle and half

conference forward on basket ball team;
won the University Of Kansas relay
championship in decathlon, a grueling
Io-event performance; won q place on
the American Olympic team; good
heavyweight boxer. Still in college
and still going.
Another nomination rings In Cat
Ash Smith of Georgia, star at foot
ball, basket ball, base ball and boxing.
One Of the best ends from any section,
able forward, leading base ball slugger.

be chronicled, for this same owen was
a blazing flame in at least four major
sports, which includes tennis ability.

on Yale in other pastimes.

These tottering and ancient pugS,
Who rarely raise q hostile fist

There is a report that an even larger
number of college ball players will take
UP professional base ball this Summer
There Is also a rurnor that Q number
of fighters may also decide to take up
fighting as q profession at some early
date.
A Great Pitcher.
THE recent illness of Ed Walsh,
J. Conaiskey's greatest pitcher, recalls
tribute which Ty Cobb paid the White
So2 star few days ago.
II know" remarked Cobb, lust how
good Cy Young, Walter johnson, Matty
and Alexander were. But If ! had to
pick one man for Q five-year stretch !
believe it would be Ed Walsh There
was one season, 1908, as recall It,
when he worked In 66 games, won
around Is and saved at least a dozen
others. And yet today there isn't
pitcher around who can win 80 games
In a three-game series I have seen
Walsh pitch the first game, go in as
relief pitcher for the second and then
pitch the third. And probably win or
save two out Of the three.
