Captain Wolverton, the wander ins minstrel, sent his band of orphans to a second victory over the Beavers todav when Sailor Stroud returned to form and allowed only three of the league leaders to go past seconu. j.wo Innings of bunched hits with an error thrown in gave the disinherited Wolves two runs for a 2-to-l win. In four innings the Beavers bunched hits off Stroud, but the sailor was in his early season form again and the combination counted only one run In the fourth singles by Doane and Kyan. with Doane being forced by Kores, put men on first and second. But Rohrer and Young worked a clever double peg and an embryonic double steal was nipped. The next Beaver chance of the game came and went in the sixth," when, with one out, Rodgers and Doane singled and ad vanced when Shinn's return throw of Korea' fly took a fluke bounce off Hannah's foot. Buddy Ryan was purposely walked and the danger passed when Lober fanned. In the . last three innings Stroud got Letter all the way and only two Beavers reached first, none going beyond. With two gone in the first inning, Shinn singled and took third on Han nah's pop safety back of first. Krause cut loose a wild peg to catch .Hannah napping and Shirm scored. Fisher hung up the tieing Beaver run in the third when he singled to center, ad vanced on Krause's sacrifice and Ban croft's out. and scored on Derrick's single to short left. Hannah's double to center and Young's single in the same direction chased over the win ning run for the men without a coun try, in the fourth.

The game was then considered a society fad and was played in a regal setting at Newport, R. I. Of the 20 contestants W. G. Lawrence, of Newport, was de clared the winner and the first American amateur champion. Golf in the United States is said to date from the establish ment of the St Andrews Golf Club at Tonkers, N. T., In 188S. South Car olinians, however, claim that it was played in their state a century be fore, and point to the files of the Charleston City Gazette, where an item under date of September 18, 1788, states: "... there is lately erected that pleas ing and genteel amusement, the golf baan." Golf was played in Scotland, said by many to be Its place of birth, generations before Columbus made known that there was an America. One prominent American educator has said that he read an account of a golf game writ ten by the ancient Aristotle, and had found reference to the sport in the Bible. It is also claimed that Hol land was its place of origin. In the earliest records of Scottish history, literature and even legislation, golf occupies a prominant place. Over four cen turies ago the sport had so over whelmed archery, the soldier's train ing, that the Scot tish legislature de creed that "the fut ball and golf be utterly cryit doun and nocht usit" Forbidden to the masses, it re mained a royal pastime. King James II played a game with an Edinburgh shoe maker; Queen Mary was found playing on the links two days aft er the death of her royal consort Darnley. The news of the great Irish rebellion came to King Charles I while he was lift ing the ball over the links at Leith. Today golf, be ginning as a so ciety fad In the United States, has become a pastime at which a vast fortune, estimated as high as $50,000, 000, is spent every year in the United States. There are said to be more than 200,000 ac tive players who are driving the gutta percha balls over links whose combined acreage in the United States is nearly twice as large as the District of Co lumbia, Some of the American club houses are verita ble mansions; one in the Middle West has cost to date over J750.000 for the golfing course, the clubhouse and the equipment. The exact amount of money reaped annually by the American caddies is not definitely known, but it probably equals the amount paid in Great Britain, which is estimat ed at J12.500.000. Other Items that go to make up the annual tribute to golf are clubs and balls. The value of the clubs in use is estimated at nearly $1,000,000, while the balls are valued at over $6, 000,000. Golf has spread throughout the world. In Europe there is scarcely a country without Its golf links and players. Japan has one of the finest courses in the world. Mex ico is rapidly be coming known for its links. While all classes have taken to the sport with enthusiasm, kings and queens, not to mention the lesser lights of royalty and the nobility are ardent devotees. King Alfonso has his private links in Spain and has taught his English-born Queen to play the game. The German Em peror, prohibited by a physical ail ment from partic ipating in the sport, nevertheless is an enthusiast and frequently follows his son, the Crown Prince, about the links at Postdam. Presi dent Wilson and his predecessor, Mr. Taft are de voted to the game. Early Fall Special $00.50 23 Prices go down instead of up!

M'CARTHY, Manager Three Stores (Two in San Francisco) 741 MARKET STREET 2184 MISSION STREET PITCHERS ARE LOST Hammer Gets One Hurt and Other Leaves Town. LUND MEETS OPPOSITION Bradfords Don't Iike Swing of Professional Substitute on Staff of Meier & Frank and Ar gument Waxes Warm. Managers of the different teams which settle the semi-finals of the city baseball championship next Sunday at the Vaughn-Street Park have their troubles. Some say their poste are as hard as the Jobs of McGraw or any of them. The latest to get into a "stew" Is Manager Hammer, of the Meier & Frank team, which Is to meet the Bradford Clothiers in the first game of Sunday's double-header. Battery Star injured. Webber, one of the battery stars on whom Manager Hammer was depend ing, fell and injured his knee cap so seriously that he is incapacitated, as far as pitching is concerned. That left Hammer with Parkison and. being somewhat, of an optimist, he did not put on a long face until yes terday, when the pitcher declared that he as about to leave town and would be unable to finish the season with the Meier & Frank's. Even that did not end Hammer's smile. He immediately began scouting and found Lund, the ex-Walla Walla slabster. Lund was willing to pitch the series and Hammer felt better, but for a short time only. Bradfords File "Kick." Swint of the Bradferds, declared he would not stand for Lund. Of course he can see that the Hammer team can't f.co him without a pitcher, but thinks that Hammer should be able to find one within the city limits proper ana not take a man who hae played strictly professional part of the Summer. Hammer just as sonaiy munuuii that Lund should be allowed to ply with the team. The matter has as yet not been taken before the other man agers, and a meeting of all eight may he called for tomorrow night In the event that the warring managers have then not settled their difficulties. Martin la Badly Wanted. Hammer also would like to get a hold of Martin, a local boy, who. he thinks, would fill the bill. However, he has been unable to reach Martin and would like to have the hurler look him up. W. W. Metzger hopes that the man agers will be able to Bettle their own differences and advised them last night to get together and try to snow eacn other the middle road.' Up to a late hour last night the middle road was still pretty much on the opposite side, when viewed from the vantage points of Swint and Hammer. irvingtoyIsoon COMMITTEE SEEKS OUTSIDE AND NEW TALENT. City Championship Tournament Will Open Saturday and Entry I. lata Will Close Friday. Irvington Club's city championship tennis tournament, starting next Sat day, promises to be highly successful, for already many names have regis tered with the tournament committee. The committee finds but one fault. The names are those of the men who have been playing for years, and none of the new men are appearing. The club is particularly anxious to have en tries from some of the smaller clubs throughout the city. There is a club on Belmont street which is said to have some excellent players, and the committee has been looking for entries from there. There is another club In Vernon which has now a membership of more than 50. For some reason the players on these courts seem to have an aversion to tournament play. Yet it Is these same men that the committee is most anxloue to get to enter. The entries close Friday night and play starts Saturday and extends over Labor day. The events will be men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles, all scratch. At the same time the annual Irving ton Club championship will be held. The events for this are singles only, for men and women. Sounding the Sport Reveille BT RALPH J. STABHLI. BEING an umpire Is a beautiful Job at best, but still there is a lot of consolation In the position. For instance, how would you like to be an umpire over in Europe and try to call balls and strikes? Going further into the subject, how would you like to be the official scorer and give out the percentages and bat ting averages of the belligerents In the big mix? Shave a half per cent off a ballplayer's average or fall to give him one hit and it's revolution. According to the Germans the offi cial scorers, sitting in the London and Paris press boxes, can't see across the diamond. Another misplay occurred as follows; Italy failed to catch the signal on the triple steal which Germany tried to pull. Germany started a liner through Belgium. Belgium grabbed It red-hot off the rails. Juggled It a while, but had to drop It, but not before England and France backed him up. The play at home was lost in the dust Russia tried to steal second over at Berlin and now Turkey is going in as a pinch hitter. Special from Sacramento The allies are reported fleeing, but your corre spondent sees no immediate cause for alarm and thinks that tomorrow the Dutch will give way before General McCredie and the allies. t Samuel M. Foster, of Fort Wayne, has declined the appointment as Am bassador to Argentina. Can you blame him, with the world's series about due? Cost of running a baseball team Is one of the most potent arguments In the way of high cost of living dope. Vlce-Presjdent Barnard, of the Naps, comes through with a statement to show the cost of running a profession al baseball team has been Boarlng in the past 10 years. "It's costing exactly $15,000 more to operate the Cleveland American Asso ciation team this year than It did to operate the Cleveland American League team back In 1902," remarked said Bar nard. "Anyone who thinks the Naps form a cheap ball club can easily see that this cant be the case.' Portland, Or., Sept 2. (To the Sport ing Editor.)
