championships in the old 12-school

The Pinehurst. Midsouth golf
tournament, for more than 40 years
fixture on the list Of professional
must" tournaments, Is OF for this
year and the first big affair Of the
pro fall and winter season will be
the $4,000 Miami open champion
ship, scheduled for December 14-17.
Word of cancellation Of the Mid
south, an affair in which several
Washington professionals planned
to compete, came today from Rich
ard S. Tufts, president of the Caro-
lima resort, where Tommy Armour
last year won the November
tourney.
The Pinehurst tourney was can
celed last summer to avoid possible
interference with the Ryder Cup
matches at Jacksonville. But with
cancellation of the Ryder Cup con-
tests because of the European war,
the pros and the P. G. A. tourna-
ment bureau hoped the Pinehurst
affair might be resumed. The Pine
hurst schedule Is out and does not
include q Midsouth affair next
month.
P. G. A. Wants Another Meet.
Meanwhile the tournament bureau
of the P. G. A. is negotiating with
several communities in the Near
South for a tournament to take its
place, to open the pro schedule be-
fore the Miami open affair.
Enough tournaments have been
scheduled already by the p. G. A.
to assure the touring pros of $780,
900 in purses over season stretch
ing from December to early April.
At the same time the pros around
town are wondering whether q Dis
trict open championship will be
held this year, following the custom
of the past four years. The District
Coli Association has offered its serv-
ices to obtain q club for the affair,
and will take care of the scoring
and run the tourney, but the pros
so far haven't accepted the offer to
the extent that they have gone
ahead with the scheduling of the
tourney.
Cox Present Titleholder.
So unless they do something about
it Witty Cox will, remain the hold
over champion. Witty has won the
tourney for the past two years, sue

titleholder in 1897 and winning
again last year.

with an offer Of cash. the pros, If

would make the tourney little more

something that has been badly
needed for years on the public
courses strong organization to
promote tournaments. Sparked by
Tommy Doerer, president Of the
East Potomac Coli Club. the public
links golfers have voted to include
In their membership all women and
men who use the municipal courses,
the men to pay $6 year dues and
the women to pay 81 per year. Team
matches with . number of cities in
this area, including Richmond,
Lancaster, Philadelphia and other
nearby points will be arranged
There have been other attempts
made to organize the public links
golfers of Washington. But this
one bears authentic earmarks. In
the first place, the group which met
last night at the East Potomac field
house had before them a constitu-
ton and set of bylaws. They had
setup for q board of directors, for
committees and for every other
function Of a well-organized club.
They also had before them a pro-
posal that a proper handicap sys-
tenn be set up. They can't miss. if
they keep on going.
Should Have Been Done Before.
The surprising part of it all is that
something like this hasn't been done
before. Doerer said the regular
week end play on public courses
around Washington during the sea-
son averages 1000 persons. There
shouldn't be any trouble getting
quite a club going with such group
as this to draw from. And prob
ably there won't be in the future.
The prospects look good for the East
Potomac Golf Club, even though
the beginning is skimpy.
Doerer will put on over the next
month a turkey tournament, to
open with an 18-hole qualifying
round next Saturday and Sunday
This affair will wind up November
19, with turkeys to go to the flight
winners. An entry fee of so cents
is charged. East Potomac Park also
will entertain the Lancaster (Pa)
golfers here next Sunday In a re-

Pirate Job for Wagner
Tribute to Great Stor
BY JOHN LARDNER,

special Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, Oct. II (N.AN.A).-
One Of the pleasanter things about
the managerial switch in Pittsburgh
recently, in which Pie Traynor was
pushed downstairs, or maybe I
should say around the corner, to
make room at the tiller for Frankie
Frisch, was the prompt renewal Of
Honus Wagner's contract as coach.
Frisch authorized this move and it
goes to show that Frank appreciates
not only the value of the Dutch
mans brain and experience, but
also the place of honor he holds
in Pittsburgh baseball history.
1t wouldn't be right for the great
est Of all Pirate ballplayers to be
employed or unemployed - else
where when there is room for him
on the Pittsburgh club. Old Honus
is living monument to the golden
age of buccaneer baseball-the days
when Fred Clarke, national idol
and peerless leader of the stature
of Frank Chance, led his team to
four pennants, and the Pittsburgh
turf was churned by the spikes of
Tommy Leach. Ginger Beaumont,
Kitty Bransfield, Deacon Philippe,
George Gibson and Babe Adams.

Honus Sole 1855" Stor
In Corey Rotinos.

Tyrus Cobb rates 5-4-4 and George
Sisler is close to perfect with 5-5-4.
But the bow-legged Dutchman of
Pittsburgh is unique in the Carey
catalogue-the only 5-5-5 man in
history.
You're apt to forget that Honus
was one of the great base-runners
of his time. Looking at him today
big, wide. clumsy, gray in. the hair
and rosy in the face, his vast equator
falling over his belt and his legs
more bowed than ever beneath it
it's hard to realize that he was once
a thief and terror on the sacks.
For that matter, he didn't look the
part in his prime. AS ungainly a
figure as you could hope to see was
Honus-until he started moving.
Wagner led the National League
In batting eight times. He was peer
less in the field, possessed of speed,
the gift of anticipation, a strong
throwing arm and the finest pair of
hands a ballplayer ever wore.
-Four times Honus led his league in
stolen bases-in 1902, with 43; in
1904, with SO; in 1907, with 81, and
In 1908, with SO.

Barrow Is Credited
With Finding Honus.

The story has it that Ed Barrow,
now president of the Yankees, saw
the wide and graceless German kid
throwing rocks with neighborhood
boys, got him job with the Pater-
son IN. j. club and then recon-
mended his sale to Louisville of
the National League for $500. In
1900 Pittsburgh took over the Louis
vile franchise and Is of the Louis
vile ballplayers, including Mr.. Wag-
ner. The rest is history.
If you're fan, you don't have to
60 back as far as Wagner's heyday
yourself to thrill at the sight of the
old Dutchman today as he rolls off
the bench to take the practice ball
from the infield and rolls back again,
resting his big hands heavily on the
dugout roof for a moment to look
at the crowd before he disappears.
A Civil War student would feel the
same way If he saw Robert E. Lee
riding past on his mare, Traveller.
Mr.. Frisch has done well to hold
the old place open for Honus. Like
Wagner himself, Mr.. Frisch makes
q habit Of doing things well.

Wagner Greatest Ever,
McGrow Contended.

Among all these, Clarke included,
the Flying Dutchman stood incom-
parable. John j. McGraw, leader
of the Pirates mortal enemies of
that generation, the Giants, always
insisted that Wagner was the great
est player who ever pulled on a
pair of baseball pants. McGraw
watched Cobb, Speaker, Matty, Ruth
and the rest, and held firm to his
original decision.
The Giant boss was in position
to judge, for he went back to the
very beginning of Honus' big league
career. AS a matter of fact, they
overlapped as players-McGraw was
just rounding out his high, hot spell
at third base with the old fighting
Orioles of Baltimore when Wagner
broke in with Louisville in 1897.
Another judge of ballplayers-
Max Carey, owner of one of the
soundest brains the game has pro-
duced-puts the Dutchman on top
of the list Carey, a major figure
in Pittsburgh history himself, says
that Wagner was "the only 5-5-5
player" he ever saw or heard Of
AS I've mentioned before, Carey
rates players by system of his
own-for hitting, fielding and base
running. Five points is perfect, or
a full score, in each department.
The rating of Babe Ruth under the
Carey system, as recall it, is 5-4-2.
Naturally, the Babe did not shine as
a base-runner, the branch of the
game which is Carey's private fetish.
Often he didn't have to run the
bases. He took them at a dogtrot.
