Tremendous loss Of patronage

During April, May and June the

1880, while an increased revenue
was shown by the Capital Trac-

company lost from January to
May, while its competitor lost
from January to March.
During the first six months Of

On the first Lance missed his try on
the green for win. and Heinlein dropped
in his par which put the pressure on Kis-
sell. Frank sent in a four-footer without
a CULVER.
On the second hole it was the same
story and Frank again dropped in one Of
about the same length to give the Steven
son-KisseH pair another halved hole.
Kissel was in the trap on the second
hole. but Stevenson was inside both Lance
and Heinlein. Lance was at the edge Of
the green. He putted first and after he
putted it wasn't necessary for Heinlein
to putt as Lance's bounced right In.
Stevenson had an eight-foot tap for q

They won the league title and went
on to win the world championship
from the Chicago Cubs.
No, it wasn't as good a ball club
as the one he had in his first cham
plonSh1p years, Connie said.
But his men carried on to an
other league and world title in 1880
It still wasn't his greatest team.
Connie said.
And in 1881 the same men are
still carrying on. They are at the
top OF the American League and
have a f1ve-game advantage over
the Washington Senators. They
nave won seventeen straight games
the longest winning, streak re-
corded by a major league team
since 1916. It is within two games
OF the longest American League
winning Streak-nineteen consecu-
tive victories by the Chicago White
Sox in 1906.
The men still may not form
Comics greatest ball club. But
even the old master is weakening.
He says he may have to change his
mind about what team was his
greatest one. But even if he doesn't
change his mind, the Athletics have
proved that Connie turned out a
pretty good job in the twenty-five
years it took him to build his sec
ond championship club.
They showed Connie Monday that
all teams were alike to them. They
took both ends of double-header
from the New York Yankees. 4 to
2, and Is to 4. Lefty Grove pitched
the first game against the team
considered as the Athletics most
dangerous rival and was invincibJe
in the pinches. In the ninth in
ming with the tying runs on second
and third he struck out Ruth and
Gehrig, two Of the greatest hftters
IN the league, to end the game.
A barrage of base hits gave Phil
adelphia the second game. LEROY

pures" play more golf than the pros dur
ing week time. Quiet a few of these
amateurs can trim many of the pros In
Indiana daily. That was a hard admission
for the pros to make. but they succunbed
to the figures.
Most Of the Indianapolis pros pair up
with an amateur member of their club
even though he might not be the best
in the club, and the same applies to the
out-of-town pros who bring some member
of their club here. Against such teams
as Lance and Heinlein they don't have
a chance and become Just q regular
weekly contributor to the purse fund they
say. Something has to be done about It.
and what it will be will be decided before
next Monday. There is some talk of
allowing each amateur to play with his
regular handicap. whether It be team of
amateurs or the one with the pro. The
strokes of the handicap allowance will
apply on the regular holes where handicap
allowance are conceded on the score card.

found time to admire.
There were four 6's on Miss Dunn's
card and only two on Miss Abbott's card.
but Miss Dunn's recoveries we're more pro-
