Golf Every Ones
Risk, Court Holds
BY the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, August IL
You can hit all of the golfers you want
with hooks and slices without even
yelling fore" if they aren't within
SO degrees of the tee and the green
for which you think you're driving.
In holding that golfer could slice
himself right out of law suit If he
is bad enough. Superior Judge Ed
mond P, Morgan ruled:
If person is standing in an angle
of 80 degrees from the intended line
OF flight Of the ball, a warning must
be given. As matter of law, a golfer
assumes the risk of injury resulting
from his own participation in the
game he and other golfers play"
Attorney Archibald J. Treat, who
was playing the third green when
struck by Taylor Merriam's drive from
the fourth tee, announced he would
file new complaint in his $50 900
damage suit. Treat said the ball frac-
tured his skull

he is very long from the tee this

BY IoHN LARDNER.

NEW YORK, August 11.-Several
very legitimate tears have been shed
around the circuit this week for
Lewis Hackenschmidt Wilson, who
was bounced by the Brooklyn Dodgers
and then picked up by the Phillies.
The Hacker has been a clown and a
sampler of strong spirits. In recent
years he has been bum ball player
and bad bargain. He has been all
that, but he also has been one Of
the great emotional actors of our
time
Ruth and Cobb never were cheered
so frantically or hated so deeply. Al
trock. Babe Herman and Chaplin
never were laughed at so Historically.
Hack could be Othello, Macbeth
and Falstaff in the course Of one
nine-inning game. He responded in
kind to each burst of laughter, ap-
plauSe or disapproval from the grand
stand. He laughed back or he doffed
his cap with a grin as wide as the
Gulf of Mexico or he scowled at the
fans with wholehearted hatred
WholeheartedneSS is the Hackers
chief asset. He displays 1t in his red,
sweating face, his dirty uniform and
his strike-out-or-s -slug-it manner at
the plate. He displays it with his
fists. Hack Is one of the toughest
two-handed fighters in the national
pastime. He likes fighting, and his
last feature act with the Brooklyn
club involved a fight.

THIS year the city Of Melbourne
is celebrating a centenary of
some sort, and one OF the major
sports events on the program Is q
$4,000 open golf tournament. Two
thousand pounds means some 10000
American dollars, at the present rate
Of exchange, and with $4,000 for first
prize the tournament is very attrac-
tive from a money viewpoint But
better yet the Australians probably
will arrange to defray the travelling
expenses OF a team of six American
pros, which would make any money
our lads won down under" very much
on the net side.
According TO present plans the
Americans will sail from San Fran
cisco on October 16 and arrive in
Melbourne ON November o, six days in
advance Of the centenary open, which
will give the voyagers ample time TO
shake their sea legs and get all Of
their shots working. In addition TO
will engage In two team matches. one
against Australia at Melbourne and
another against a New South Wales
team at Sydney.
A match-play tournament also win
be played in Melbourne, and this
event also has some attractive prize
monies for the better players. The
team win return to the United States
late In December so the players won't
miss many Of the important Winter
tournaments in this country.

That was last week, when placid
Otto Miller, the Dodger coach, became

Hack tried to hold the field even
after the cops broke up the battle.
He told them angrily that they had
robbed his man, Mr.. Miller, OF q
knockout. When the gendarmes
showed no sympathy with this point
of view, the Hacker strobe off in Mr..
Miller's wake with a muttered con-
ISOLATION to the effect that Otto had
licked that bum from here to Frisco"
Once, while member of the Cubs,
Hack threatened to beat up a large
part of the Cincinnati team. Word
of his prowess reached the profess

Atlantic championship escaped him,
Roger has won three big tourna-

this year than last and has changed
his game over to hit his iron shots
