SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Sept. 2. (Spo
cial.) 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 score:

Then and Now.
Twenty years
ago today the first
American c h a m
p 1 o n s h i p golf
match was played.
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.

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.

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.'

That's a husky enough lineup. More
on that order undoubtedly will be
forthcoming.
Chelsea, of England, proposes to put
