Minion, who alao hra tbe distinction
of havinc won orn rharnplonahlp of s
harder nature than our own. No case
ahould be made of the failure, there
for, of certain crack solfera. for no
proof ran be had. The matter r-lm-
mero down to thia: What kind of
tournament do tha prolfara themselves
want and what are the beat meana of
running it off and the p rotor mathoda
of find in ar what Is wanted? It often
happens that the members of com
mi t tees who vote for new systems
unloa they have made a definite
ran vans to find out what the rolfera
of their district want a procedure
which has not yet come Into vosue
do nut know whst Is wanted and are
not to be blamed either If their club or
aaaoriatJon members do not brine; It
to their sttentlon aa to Juat what Is
desired, reraona.ll- I belleva that the
beat method of flndmp; out how the
rolfera of the country vid to flay
the amateur championship Is to have s
ballot box next to tha tee on the first
day of the qualifying round for the
amateur championship, when tha ellal
bles are nil present, and have the
aolfors dapoatt In the box a vole as to
their personal belief In the system of
holdm the next championship. This Is
the moot representative way and unless
there war some very R-ood reasons for
not adhering to the style chosen the
winning method should be played at
tbe a-ucreedine; championship. It Is
certain that the systems whlrh mtrht
be voted upon would be talked over by
solfera beforehand and spread abroad
in tho newepepera so that there would
b few. if any. haphaxard choices. The
same s stem should be tried each year
and In a few years It Is quite likely
that the favorite method would be
found and the matter of voting become
a mere perfunctory Job. It la well worth
a trial.
Jennings and the Detroit players knew
of the Pot. and. of course, were pull
ins; for James to win. At the time De
troit had only one more game to play,
and an Jennings had no Intentions of
work Ins; Jamea. It seemed that the big
ri&rht-hander had the bet cinched,
a a a
Detroit's final fame of the season
was against Cleveland. Jennings great
ly deetred to win it. because it would
make the Tigers 100th victory of the
season. Covelejkie. who Jennings felt
sure would be able to win. faltered
about the sixth, making1 it necessary
that Jennings use James .as relief
pitcher. James worked the seventh
and eighth innings.- With the score
to i in Detroit's favor. James' turn at
bat arrived In the last of the eighth
Jennings made up bis mind thai he
would help win that suit of clothes for
Jtm-, as the Tigers -felt none too
kindly toward Wellman. because of the
eight defeats he had handed them dur
ing the season. While James was
Pitching the first half of the eighth
Inning. John Dubuc warmed up. Du
bur la a mighty good hitter. He Is
often used as pinch hitter by Jennings.
When It was up to James" to bat. a
couple of runners were on the bases.
Since failure to hit safely apparently
meant the loss of the bet, also a
chance to score a couple of runs. Du
buc batted for James, and also pitched)
the ninth Inning. The score remained
the same. Detroit winning C to S.
a a a
During the season Wellman had
many a laugh at the Tigers expense.
as he beat them came after game. Un
doubtedly the official American League
averages will 'give him a chance - to
smile during the Winter. Vhe aver
ages show "hat Wellman made 23 bits
nstead of il in 100 times a. bat, giv-
ine him an average of .2.10 Instead of
220. Consequently James, instead of
winning with two points to spare,
loses by an eight-point margin. "More
Wellman luck" la the way the Tigers
will put it.
HI NT CLCB CHASE XOT HELD j
Annual Kvent Called Off Because of
Condition of Turf. ;
Officials of the Portland Hunt Club
were forced- to call off the annual New
Year's paper chase, which had been
scheduled for yesterday, on account of
the weather.
The turf was frozen bard, and It was
thought that the condition of the
ground was too dangerous for the hard
ride tbst Is usually mapped out for
th annual run.
The chasa last year was won by
Harry M. Kerron. riding Oregon Frank,
Howard Charlton finished serond on
Little Gym. A chase to take the place
of the one called off may be staged
later. In the month.

When both wer. members of th. St.
Ixuls club, there always existed a
keen rivalry between the two pitcher.
a. to their battlna ability, although
neither will ever cium Tr Cobb any
worry about displacing him as the
league leader. In tba Spring tbe two
bad many aa argumem abotat their
ability to hit the pill. To make, things
Interesting, the tr. wagered a .0
uil on their batting prowess. The last
game Carl Wellman pitched wss
against Detroit. In this (am ha made
two bits, greatly Aiding In tbe win
ning of the game, which completely
killed Detroit's slim cbsnce. of win
ning, ll was also his eighth win of
the sesson over tha Tigers. That
cemed to be enough glory for one
day. but It so hsppens that the two
bus that Wellman made In that gam.

Th unofficial averages published

109 times st bat. which made his aver
age for the sesson .::. The same
sveragea gave James It hits In 43
limes st bat. giving blm an average of
.izi for the s.ason. Tbeae unofficial
averages gave James a ecant margin

Many inventions have been made which
have to do with getting more distance with
the driver, snd all sorts of contrivance
have been put on the face of the club, where
It will furnish more resistance to the ball.
The best of these Is the Ivory-face rluh,
which Is still being used by a great many.
Then there m-zr the end grain club, which
was exploited for a while. Many profes
sionals, however, use nothing but the plain,
old persimmon head, and find It plenty good
enuugh to -et all the distance that la ncces
ssry. One nf the funniest drivers was the old
fishing-pole club that was quite a vogue
some yearn ago. For one season It almost
upset the whole theory of the game. It was
Walter J. Travis that made the cltih popular,
although he does not claim credit for having
been the first to use it.
Travis explains It like this: "The driver
was all ri;ht and quite practical, and I
found that I could ret 2 yards more on
my -Irive and get them straight, too. but
I had to give It up on sreount of the fooli-h
