TTiYES of rollers over the entire
Northwest will be directed toward
Gearhart this week, where the annual
Gearhart golf tournament will be in
progress.
The little Brentwood Country Club
Bt Brentwood Park. Los Angeles, is
tijossoming to some purpose. Plans for
Its new clubhouse have been accepted
and. it is certainly going to be an
adornment to the landscape down there.
The building will be of the old- Dutch
Colonial type.
Del Monte. Cal.. will stage the Coast
frolf championship meet September 23,
three weeks later than usual, to give
players ample time to recover from the
Vestern amateur meet. The conditions
ERMU be similar to last year.
The first golf links in the United
Ftates was laid out in 1S92 at Oakhurst
the estate of Russell Montague, of Bos
ton. near White Sulphur Springs, Va.
according to the claims of White Sul
phur Springs residents. If this conten
tion is true, the Oakhurst links ante
date by four years the course of the
fct. Andrew's Club, of Yonkers. who
some say was the first golf course ever
laid out.
With the National amateur golf
championships less than a month away,
one hears the names of likely winners
mentioned frequently. Naturally, the
. subject most discussed is the probable
winner. There are a. number of bril
liant golfers who have the usual
chances of the dark horse. With Ouimet
barred by the united States Golf Asso
elation, "Chick" Evans and Jerry Trav
ers are the most generally discussed
participants.
There is a keen and almost Indefa
tigable player who plays at the Waver
ley Country Club who always insisted
that the boy who carries for him should
take likely interest in his play. Always
before starting out he delivers himself
in this fashion:
"Now. young man, we are going to
play a match, and I always want you
to say we when speaking to me. Never
Fay 'you won that hole." Understand?"
Not content with his usual 18 holes,
the enthusiastic gentleman one day
played a double round during the after
noon. He had a small caddie, who had
learned his lesson well, and not once
did he forget instructions. However,
long before the second round was com
pleted, the little fellow began to limp,
but he stuck doggedly to it, and finally
the home green was reached.
"Well, my boy, we won, didn't we?"
"Yes. sir. we did." replied the lad.
shifting uneasily from foot to foot.
Then he added. "But we have got blis
ters all over my feet."
Recently there were serious disturb

from whom they received large tips
all but seven of the 110 boys employed
by the club threw mud at the club
house and hurled stones at players.
Tipping caddies has its faults. Usual
ly there are rules against it. and most
committees urge players to observe
these rules. For the real cause of caddy
mutiny you must go beyond the im
petuosity of youth to the hard-headed
itess of employers. If one bcry receives
xnore than the others, naturally he feels
hat he is being badly used.

BRITISH CRACKS SHOW FORM DE
SPITE WAR IDLENESS.
Receipts Are Turned Over to Wounded
Soldiers' Fund Gallery Wishes
Strife Was Ended.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. While the
war in Europe completely spoiled the
American tours of well-known British
golf professionals and put a quietus on
the game abroad, these wizards are not
going back much in their games. Judg
ing from scores of recent benefit
matches played.
Not long ago Harold Hilton said that
a man could play his best golf up until
he was 50 years of age, but there are
many golfers of today who believe that
Vardon, Braid and Taylor will be play
ing unbeatable golf when they are 55
or 60. A short time ago at Mid Surrey
match for a war relief fund was
staged between the two Englishmen.
Vardon and Taylor, and the two Scots
men, Braid and Herd.
There were 4000 spectators in evi
dence when the play was on, and prob
ably 4000 of this number wished, tbat
the war was over and that they could
journey out to the links and not feel as
they do now, like persons guilty of
some heinous crime. The charge for
admission was half a crewn, and the
$2500 collected was all turned over to
the wounded soldiers' fund.
Vardon and Taylor were in the best
fettle, having a best ball of 36 out and
32 home, while their opponents were
unsteady and finished with a 72. They
did not fit in well, as the medal play of
tne two bcots was a it ror each. In the
afternoon match the Englishmen won
at the last hole, the victory being due
mainly tq the good, partnership play of
tne winners.
Three other matches were held over
the Layrick and Queen's Park Golf
Club at Bournemouth, and again Var
don played grand golf. In his last six
rounds over good. average length
courses he has averaged 73. which is
surely a sign of no diminution in golf
ing power.
Golfers Bar Women.
Masculine golfers at a Greensburg.

Smith has turned in several 74s. Ru

his rounds at the state championships.
Last year J. R. Straight, of Waverley,
negotiated the course in 71 strokes.
CADDIES TO BE PROVIDED FREE
Arrangements Are Made for Tourna
ment at Gearhart.
No extra charge will be made for
caddy service at the annual Gearhart
golf tournament which opens tomor
row, despite the heavy demand for
caddies. Arrangements have been
made to have enoifgh Portland boys on
hand to accommodate those wishing to
go around the course during tourna
ment play and otherwise.
The regulation charge of 50 cents for
18 holes will be in evidence and plans
have been made to have at least two
thirds of the caddies present from
Portland. Several Portland high school
boys are at Gearhart learning the game
and acting as caddies. The caddy mas
ter for the tournament has not been
announced.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. IS. (Spe
cial.) The overwhelming defeat of the
Coast team at the hands of the East
erners came as a shock to local tennis
followers, but officials of the Pacific
States Association were not surprised
greatly. While only one victory was
registered In the seven matches there
Is an alibi offered In the poor condition
of Lyn Murray, who had been up the
whole night previous to his match with
his sick wife, and to the absence of
Maurice McLoughlin.
It is the opinion of local tennis ex
perts that Murray easily would have
defeated Washburn if he had been
right, and McLoughlin would have been
good for a victory In singles and In
doubles. This would have given the
Coast four matches necessary to take

Baseball Brevities
TCH ROCK, who was tried out
ith the Seals at San Jose this
Spring. Is back In San Francisco, where
he lives. He was sent to Tacoma by
Wolverton, but got off to a bad start
and then was released and promptly
signed by Great Falls. He drew his
release from Great Falls eventually.
However, the fair-haired boy figures
the experience he got was of tremen
dous value and he is not in the least
discouraged. He learned a lot about
pitching that he never suspected be
fore, and he Is hopeful of catching on
again next season and of being able
to hold a permanent job.
Jack Dalton has been playing an im
proved quality of ball for San Fran
cisco In the last month, but there Is
little question of what Wolverton will
do when Fitzgerald is able to play
again. Fits is one of the league's best
tters. Is wonderfully fast and a great
run-getter. He unguestionatyly will
go back in the lineifu lust as soon as
wolverton Is convinced that he Is ready
bo play.
Frank Chance, who has been seeking
another shortstop for many weeks, has
lost out in an effort to land Kid Kelle-
her, of Denver. Brooklyn heard of
Kelleher through a scout and has
landed him.
Chet Hon, the new Salt Lake pitcher,
got his first start with Harry Wolver
ton. Hoff. way back In 1912. was the
pride of the sandlots around New York
and was recommended so highly to the
Yanks that olverton. who was the
big chief at that time, gave the young
ster a chance.
"Hoff had a wonderful curve ball at
that time." said Harry, as he watched
the new Saint warming -up at 61
Francisco last week, "and he displayed
signs of becoming a great pitcher. 1
lost track of him after I left New York
but he must have continued getting
better, from what I ve heard since.
Billy Sullivan, veteran catcher of the
Chicago White Sox, now scout for the
Detroit Tigers. Is working out with
the clubs at San Francisco this week.
This is a habit of Sullivan's. No mat
ter where he goes, he sees to It that he
never gets out of playing condition.
Should there -be a hurry-up call for
him from Detroit Billy could hustle
back, put on the chest pad and get Into
the game, and he would be in con
dition, too.
But there Is more than a mere de
sire to keep In shape that prompts
Billy to keep on practicing. He has
the opportunity of catching all the
pitchers and getting a line on what
they can do. For Instance, during
many minutes of the practice at San
Francisco for the past two weeks, he
has been catching Johnny Couch. Two
weeks ago he recommended Johnny to
Detroit, and he will be taken up next
Spring.
It Is thought that Frank Hall, of
Marysvllle. Cal.. who Is pronounced as
being the most promising catcher ever
developed in that section of California
will be signed either by Waller Mc
Credie or Connie Mack shortly. Hall,
who recently returned with the Santa
Clara College team from Honolulu,
brought back such a good reputation
that Ira Thomas, Athletic scout,
stopped at Marysvllle to watch the
yuuiis-bter work.. A. ilarjiviUe repre
sentative of McCredie Is also trying to
land the young sensation.
The Portland scout has asked Hall
for his terms and they have been sent
Walt McCredie in Los Angeles. Hall
weighs ISO pounds, bats both left and
right-handed a, la Dave Bancroft
and is sure death to base-runners.
Another young catcher who Walt
McCredie Is watching pretty closely
these days Is Al Bartholemy. the Port
land boy with Tacoma. This kid la
the best catcher In the Northwestern
League, having made but two or three
errors so far this season. He is & big
factor in Tacoma's spurt and reputed
as being the smartest backstop ever
seen In that circuit. Bart has not been
hitting overly well this year, but at
that is hitting as much as Walter Cad
man was when he came to the Oaks.
