have no intention of breaking out into
superlativeS over this achievement
again. It has all been done to the ex-
tent of millions of words by wire. and
cable.
The mathematical chances of any
body else from the British Isles, the
United States or any other lands OF
duplicating this feat are rather miscro-
scopic. They will tell you that our MT
Robert Tyre Jones is the greatest golfer
of all time and will be just that 1ndefi-
nitely.
The game that was treated here with
derision when first it was introduced
now Is considered the greatest OF our
sports. It seems to have the greatest
number of players. If it continues to
grow In popularity the Americans will
be about 80 per cent golfers before very
along. They are calling Robert Tyre
Jones the champion Of champions be-
cause he has demonstrated that he is
greater at his game than any other
champion has been at his.
And now we have something to pom
der over. In Scotland and in England,
where American golf was regarded in
a patroniZing fashion, they are study
lions from Robert Tyre Jones, the
Arnerican-bor champion of golf, by
means of the "movietone." Only a
short time ago this would have been
considered in the light of taking seri-
ously the youngster who was eager to
teach his grandmother how to suck
eggs.

tn HOUGH the weather will have to
undergo a quick and decided
change, in the meanwhile the
Central and Emerson teams to-
day had not given up hope Of clashing
tomorrow afternoon. It is the first en-
gagement Of the campaign for both
teams and also the opener carded be-
tween mines Of the District proper. The
contest probably win be played in the
Central stadium.
A game scheduled today between
IHesteTnNapd Episcopal at Alexandria,
which was to mark the start of the dia-
mohd campaign for scholaStics here
about, has been postponed at the re-
quest of the Alexandria institution. 1t
will be rescheduled later in the season.
The Alexandria squad Is not yet in
shape.
Both Central and Emerson have high
hopes Of doing well on the diamond
this year. Central has some fine ma
terial and Emerson, though it has suf-
fered the loss Of several high-class per-
formers, has some likely appearing tai
emit. Central did not have much of a
season in 1880, but Emerson had a
rather notable campaign. High spots Of
the latter'S season were two victories
over Eastern, public high champion.
Central and Emerson each downed the
other on the diamond last season.
Emmett Buscher, lanky right-hand
pitcher, is being counted upon to hurl
Central to many a victory this season.
De Bettencourt, Wright, Bonner and
Alley are some more pitchers on the
roster With Dick Cooke and Herman
behind the bat and Helm, former all
high Tech third baseman who is being
groomed to play shortstop; Humpy
Miller, White, Broadbent, Holmes, Raub,
MulaWitz and Butler available, Coach
Ty Rauber is not worried over the in
field outlook. Fred Bruckner, who has
had experience In Philadelphia and
Harrisburg schoolboy base ball competi-
ton, also Is regarded as good prospect.
It Is the outfleh that likely will give
Rauber most trouble. He admits that
he has far from made up his mind as
to the probable personnel of the outer
works. Leisinger, touted as former
Missouri high school player of worth,
and Cossette are among garden candi-
dates.
Manager Bob Dougan has announced
a 14-game schedule for Central as fol-
lows:

is not in agreement with his big
boss, Connie Mack.
Mack has been telling the boys to
watch Washington in the pennant
scramble, but his peppery catcher
thinks the Yankees will offer the
stiffest opposition.
"All we have to do" he said, "is
to watch the Yanks. If they get
good pitching they are going to be
mighty tough. I'm afraid of them
more than I am of Washington.
Washington has a good pitching
staff, but it is doubtful that the rest
of the club will travel as fast as in
1885,"

The Golf Rush.

TANNY Scots lorded it over the
~ striving American golfers for years
when the game took hold. Cap
tains of finance and the biggest Of the
American business men falling under
the spell would develop the inferiority
complex as they listened humbly to a
stern pro from the Firth of Forth be-
come profane over their games. Finan-
ciers who only gave orders took their
orders from their pros and looked at
them wistfully for appreciation of their
best efforts which only seemed to in
crease the gloomy contempt Of the
Scotch professional.
Not until Walter J. Travis, playing
for the United States, wen q British
amateur championship was American
golf taken with any seriousness. Even
then it was discovered that Travis was
an Australian and not q native born.
But the United States claimed him as
it did Robert Fitzsimmons, when he
won the heavyweight prizefght cham
pionship.
The feud between walter J. Travis
and Jerome D. Travers, a younger
golfer added color to the development
of golf in the United States, but still,
in the country where golf was fully de-
velopcd, in the British Isles, they felt
that the leadership was safe.
Then Jess Sweetser, an American
born golfer, who perfected his game
while ne was at Yale, staggered through
and won the British amateur. He was
a sick young man when he did 1t, but
he fought through gamely to victory
after Robert Tyre Jones had been put
out In an earlier round.
When this happened there was a
shadow across the Muirfeld links like
the one that was over the tennis courts
at Germantown when the French team
won the Davis Cup. There was the
turning point for American golf. In
Scotland at least it had become q seri-
Gus matter.
