The intense interest in the .public

from the fact that practically every
public courje in the United .fctatei
will be represented. The municipali
ties are lending the atari who have
learned the game on the public
counei, and in the majority of cases
the municipalities are paying the ex

The fact that a policeman, a letter
carrier, a motorman, the janitor of

play shows the wide range of interest
in this event. .
New York has been a trifle behind
In joining the tournament, having
trouble in getting money to defray
the expenses of the 10 good golfers,
hut the golfers themselves took
charge and got the money. The Texas
cities, where golf has become ex
tremely popular,, are lending the
largest delegations of all. ,
Healthy sectional rivalry is certain
to increase interest in the sport and

British Invaders Strong.
The British invaders are stronger
than they ever have been in any na
tional amateur, and the group prob
ably represents the best talent the
empire can present at this time.
Roger Wethered is declared bv many
of the British press and by some of
our American golfers to be the most
dangerous of all invaders, but among
the British experts Colin Aylmer,
who was shooting remarkable golf,
' is regarded as equally dangerous.
V. B. Torance and Barnard Dar
win both are given excellent chances
by the critics.
Our American amateurs will nave
a battle to hold the championship
on this lide, Among the golfers
Bobby Jones is thought to have bet
ter than an equal chance of bating
Chick Evans this time. Chick has
been a trifle inconsistent at times
this year. He appears at times to
swing stiffly, but when he gets
loosened up he plays as good golf
as ever.
Many think that Jones n extremely
liable, to defeat him this time and
Jesse Guilford is given an excellent
chance to come through.
The field now promises to be the
largest in the history of amateur
golf and the class much higher.

Chicago, Aug. 26. Record sharks
early today had succeeded in digging
nearly a half dozen new marks from
the mass' of figures, 33 Chicago and
Philadelphia National league base
ball players compounded yesterday,
when for three hours and one minu'e
they ran thcmeslves breathless, mass
ing 51 hits of assorted varieties, and
49 tallies, 2(5 for the home club and
23 for the Phillies. The 51 hits, 49
runs, 11 Cub hits in one inning, 14
Cub scores in one inning and Cal
laghan's three appearances at bat In
one inning, all were record perform
ances, the first two being new ones,
"Total times at bat, 99 for both
teams, came within one of tying a
30-ycar-old mark.
Twenty-one bases on balls yester
day lacked three of tying the record,
credited to Chicago and New York in
the morning game, May 30, 1897.
Twelve two-base hits yesterday were
two fewer than the record made by
Chicago and Buffalo, July 3, 1883.
Thirty-two years ago, in the old
Players' league, Brooklyn and Buffalo
amassed 44 runs. June 9, 1901, New
York and Cincinnati together, ac
counted for 49 hits, excelled by yes
terday's performance. Fifty-three
hits were beinr made April 30, 1887,
in a St. Louu-Ueveland American as
sociation game, but at that time bases
on balls were counted as hits.

event of the standard list of contests
are determined, together with relay
champions over the various distances.
In addition the all around champion
is selected in one of the most difficult
testi on the athletic caienuar.

William Locke, a member of the
Winchester junior rifle corps of Dinu-

Major John I" Griffith the
Original ami L'natiinioui
Choice5 of Coachra in
Western Confrrfin'f.
By FIELDINO YOST.
Much has been said about tha rt

sition to which )
Ma), lohn I.. tni
fith has recently
been appointed.
The inference
has hern drawn
that Mr. Kerry did
not a rept the po
sition because be
feared the athletic
dirrctori would
place inch restric- coach tost
tions about it as to hamper his
work. Any such idea as this is en
tirely erroneous. The facts of the
case are that, although Mr. Perrv
was interviewed about the work, he
was never offered the position. He
was, however, much interested in the
movement and stated that he con
sidered it a very progressive step
that should accomplish great good
for intercollegiate athletics.
Mr. Griffith was the original and
unanimous choice of all the directors,
and as soon as it was definitely
known that he was willing to under
take the work, no further considera
tion was given to anyone else.
fly unanimous agreement and of
their own accord the athletic direc
tors created this office and asked
their respective boards in control to
appropriate sufficient funds to carry
out the program. The directors felt
that conference athlotics- were big
enough to warrant the expense of
having one man give his entire time
to athletic matters which concern
jointly all the Big Tn institutions.
Commissioner to Be Busy.
The work of the commissioner will
be along many lines. He will con
duct educational campaigns to get the
many beneficial influences and real
advantages of competitive college ath
letics hefore the people, who do not
yet fully appreciate them. He will
assist the directors in eliminating any
evils that may exist and will co
operate with them in the enforcement
of the rules on amateurism. The
best methods of handling rule in
fractions will be determined and
acted upon by the commissioner. All
the directors are committed to this '
plan of co-operation and are sincere
in their desire for clean sport. Un
less it can be proven that some are
not sincere in their intentions, it is
gross injustice to doubt their mo
tives.
Although probably 95 per cent of
our athletics are above reproach, we
hear so much about the other S per
cent that those who do not know the
facts very often get the wrong im
pression of college athletics. It is to
eliminate this small per cent of ob
jectionable practices, primarily, that
this new commission has been estab
lished. Tilden and Richards
