Atlanta. Albany and Chattanooga

Yankees, Red Sox, Indians and Reds
he slipped to the minors. In the fall
Of 1896 he was drafted from
Montreal of the international

OF the season Harris threatened to
fine him for indifference"
Appleton and Walker are married,
Walker being the father Of two sons.

ting the New York Rovers in Bal

Rovers had been the top boys in
the amateur league.
Orioles Total IA Points.
It was the third time the Orioles
had licked the Rovers this season.
So as the situation stands today
the Orioles top the league with II
points, the Rovers are next with
13 and the Eagles are third with 10.
If the Eagles drop their Sunday
contest to Baltimore they'll have
q chance to make 1t up again Tues
day night when they cross sticks
with the Orioles at Riverside Rink.
In the face of the TO licking the
Eagles hung on the Skeeters here
two weeks ago, they appear a stand
out to win again. But the Skeeters
turned the tables on the local out
fit last week at River Vale, 3 to z,
which knots the count in the Eagles
Skeeters series at one victory each.
Merry Brawl In Jersey.
Last week in Jersey the boys
roughed it up for 10 minutes, toss
ing padded gloves so fast that
major penalties were invoked. It's
getting so that a fellow isn't safe
without q nose protector in these
hockey games.
In the light Of their 5-to-2 VIC
tory over the Atlantic City Sea Gulls
last Tuesday, when they came from
behind and scored 3 counters in the
last four minutes of play the Eagles
can move into the league leadership
with their new-found offensive. A
win tonight and another over Bal
timore Sunday will turn the trick.

The new Bradley Hills Country

automobile sales concern, announced
today the annual dues will be about
"a month. I'VE will make every
effort to I'LL our membership as
quickly as possible and we hope to
start next spring with a good sized
membership" he said. But we will
choose our members carefully, for
we hope to achieve q congenial

New Lessor Optimistic.
The new lessor has not been PROM
inent in golf. In fact, although he
has been a member Of Indian Spring
for several years he is not known a.
a good golfer or one of the prom
inent members Of the club.
How did you happen to get into
this?" asked him. "Oh, I thought
I'd like something like this" he
said. 1t is unusual for a man not
prominently connected with golf to
branch out into such tough job as
swinging new golf club and making
q success of it.
But he is optimistic about it all.
II think We'll get along all right"
he added. Adams has had several
applications for the post Of golf
professional, but he doesn't intend
right away to make any appoint
ment. Nor is it likely he will hire

are limited to low handicap golfers.
They won't interfere with nor will
they be Of much interest to the

First Of these is the event for the

honor Of the former president Of the
Women's District Association by
Mrs. Myron Davy. This affair, open
to players with handicaps Of 10

between Baltimore and Washing
ton, with the stipulation that in
the years 1t Is held in Washington
the tourney must be played at Con-

by other provisions, which include a

to be run by the Maryland State

try Club June II, IL and 13 at 81
holes medal play. This event is open
to players with handicaps of IS
strokes and less, with a 50 entry fee
Lest the idea get around that the
annual meeting Of the Women's Dis
trict Golf Association yesterday. at
Columbia bore q distinct Maryland
Golf Association tinge, we hasten to
say that the Washington women al
ready have laid the groundwork for
extensive tournaments in 1910, and
that already an increase in play next
year is heralded by announcement
that 300 handicaps have been cleared
for 1910. In the usual routine way
a slate presented by q Nominating
Committee more than q month ago,
was O'K.'d by the association. This
slate is composed of the following:
Mrs. Robert A. Lacey, Columbia, re-
elected president; Mrs Gale E. Pugh,
Manor, elected first vice president; F.;
Mrs. Oscar Coolican, Chevy Chase,
second vice president; Mrs. r. l..

their courses for our tournaments
we must do something to speed up
play" said Mrs. Lacey in her annual
report.
Some idea Of the way the women's s
association has grown can be cleaned
from the fact that this year they

fees and club dues and spent more
than $772 in prize awards. The

It would seem logical, when .

Certainly, none Of the very

Pockers Accorded Edge
In PIoyina STRENGTH.

Milwaukee is lucky city. On
Sunday 1t will see two of the great
est football teams ever thrown into
q pit.
The record Of Steve Owens New
York Giants for the last two years
has been one Of the star features of
sport. Oklahoma Steve also has
turned in one Of the finest coaching
jobs that football ever has known,
a coaching job featured by sound
ness in every important funda-
mental. He lacks the brilliancy car
fied by few other rival teams. But
the answer is-try to beat his bunch.
The Green Bay Packers may turn
the trick. No one can overlook this
collection Of antelope mammoths.
They are just as tough as the
Giants-just as hard to take.
I think Green Bay has the edge
In all-around playing strength, but
the Giants have the winning habit
and they have the berserk quality
when the blue chips are down. They
are the pressure team of football.
They always are the bunch to beat
They never beat themselves.
