STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

TINE age Of miracles in golf has
not yet passed. And it never
will pass SO long as stunts like
that of T. C. Montgomery at
Washington Golf and Country Club
the other day are possible to revive
the dropping hopes of countless buffers.
Montgomery is not duffer by any
means. He is one of that immense
class Of golfers who consider it round
well earned when they score around
IS or sc. Montgomerys handicap is
somewhere around II or 10 against a
par of 10, which makes the average of
his five best scores about 80, and yet
he has Just accomplished a stunt that
is the dream Of most golfers.
Montgomery scored seven IS in a
round of the Washington Golf and
Country Club course and made an 80.
Sounds rather unimpressive, but when
you figure out that seven IS make AZ
strokes and AZ from 81 leaves only 40
strokes for the other IL holes, it be-
gins to look quite a score for a l2-
handicap man. In other words, he
played the remaining II holes of the
none-too-eaSy Washington course in
four better than even As, and if you
think that's easy try it yourself some
time, starting anywhere along the
bunkered trail.
Six of the obnoxious IS made b.
Montgomery came in the first seven
holes, but counting in the sixth and
playing from eighth tee to the finish
he scored like a champion Indeed
few golfers around Washington could
have stood up against the par-shat-
tering string of holes shot by this l2-
handicap golfer as he putted his way to
a score Of 81 after the ignominy of
so many 6s.
A deuce, a brace Of IS and a steady
string of As came to him after he had
accumulated his last 6, as he played
the last nine holes in 35 strokes That
round is one of the most remarkable
that will be heard Of this Winter of
1892.

GOOD At FLANKS,
CENTER IS WAbBLY
Terry, Vergez Strong, With
Critz, Jackson Brittle,
LindStrom Puzzle.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

r. TEW YORK, January s.
y John J. McGraw today has
l Y decided permanently on
his infield for 1882. So the
New York Giants manager has
taken a flying leap in front of the
other managers of his circuit.
The first baseman will be Bill
Terry, the second baseman will
be Hughie Critz or Fred Lind
strom, the Shortstop Travis Jack
son and the third baseman John
ny Vergez. There are plenty of
young men on the team who can
be used as utility players.
This infleld is one that can vary like
the thermometer. 1t may be one of the
best in 1882 and it may be as teetery as
a seesaw board. 1t has soidity at first
and third base. That is more than other
National League clubs have. 1t is as I'M
certain at second and shortStop as the
weather, and not because its players
AdSA or>444' 4A4Cy buDDAC ONGl Will ~.
What they lack is stamina.
Critz Thinks Arm Fit.
Critz has written to McGraw that his
arm seems to be fit for another season.
He did the same thing when he was
with Cincinnati, but ms arm did not
hold up to promise. 1t went back on
him. He came to New York in a trade
with an arm that was tender, although
he was able to play good ball with 1t
until the power gave out completely.
The afternoon in 1881 when Critz felt
that he no longer could play ball up
to his standard was the saddest after
noon that ever befell the popular young
Mississippian. With detected face he sat
in front OF his locker and babe good-by
to the diamond on which he had done
so well.
Il reckon" he said in his soft voice,
that it's the end. shore do hate TO
quit this way"
Since then he has been receiving
treatment for his arm and resting it.
There is no treatment that will do IL
more good than rest, although when an
arm fades out like that it seldom comes
back permanently.
Lindstrom May Improve.
Lindstrom may make a better second
baseman than ever he made a third
baseman, since despite all the praise
heaped upon him he was not a high
class third sacker. He was not keen
enough on ground balls to his right, and
he was not the best judge of the fast
bounding balls that are hit down the
third-base line. However, playing back
of the line at second he may do much
better on his right side.
jackson is one of the greatest short
stops of base ball But he has a trick
Knee and like Critics arm, no one knows
when the knee will kick up didoes. II
he were sound for 154 games he would
make record in 1882 that would make
most other shortstops sit up and take
notice
So between the risk at second and
short and the solidity at first and third
the Giants will have an infield that
may go far in 1892, or it may turn out
to be porcelain china.

to tell us of reductions in the all
time record score for the East Potomac
Park courses. Silverman himself has
scored eagle deuces on the 320-yard
third and the 400-yard ninth holes at
course F, which brings the all-time rec
ord for that course down from %
strokes to 90. These deuces were made
in the presence Of Lee Ritter and
George Williams.
II also have paid to see Dan Dillon
score a two on the first hole of course
D, par four affair" Silverman writes.
T hehole is 41O yards longs and is a
hard par four affair. This brings the
record for course D. which. is course C
played backward, down to 81 strokes.
Doubtless there are other ringer scores
made on some of the holes at East Po-
tomac which were not recalled by Al
Farr when he arranged the al-time

George T. Winston Dies
He Was President of the University
from 1891 to 1896

George Tayloe Winston,
President of the University of
North Carolina from 1891 to
1896, and later President of the
University of Texas and of the
North Carolina State College,
died last Friday night in Watts
hospital, Durham. He was in
his 80th year.
For several years he had been
suffering from paralysis, but,
though he was helpless in body,
his mind remained clear. Here
at the home of his son, P. H.
Winston, where he Spent the last
four years of his life, he was
visited by his friends.aand car
ried on lively conversations with
them, until he was taken to the
hospital about three weeks ago.
Private funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Alfred S.
Lawrence. The body was Gre
mated, and the ashes were taken
to Asheville for burial.
Mr.. Winston, becoming Presi-
dent of the University upon the
resignation of Kemp P. Battle,
launched a program of expan-
sion, and in the five years of his
administration the faculty was
strengthened and the number of
students nearly doubled. His
leadership was characterized by
unhagging energy and a vigor-
Gus defense of the institution
against elements in the state
which sought to cripple it by
holding down legislative appro-
priations. Under him the Sum-
mer School was reopened after
a ten years suspension.
Honorary degrees were con-
ferred upon him by Davidson,
Trinity, and the University of
North Carolina.

Water Level Falls
But an Ample Supply Is Piled up
Behind the Cniversity's Dam

The level of the water in the
University's new reservoir has
fallen several inches in the last
week or so as a result of the
severe drought in the water
shed area.
If we did not have the new
dam, the community would be in
a serious predicament and we
might have to postpone the open
ing of the University" said j. S.
Bennett yesterday. but, as it is,
we do not have to fear a short
age of water. A reserve sup
ply sufficient for our needs for
weeks to come is piled up back
of the dam"
The principal feeder of the
reservoir is Morgan creek. and
coming into it not far above the
dam are two smaller streams
known as Price and Neville.
My father has been living out
that way most of his life says
Carl Durham. land he says that
this is the first time he has ever
seen Neville creek completely
dried up"
Price creek is affected by
drought less than either of the
two other streams because it is
fed richly by underground
springs.
