No matter how good a start I get. 1 yaver hear any of vou fellows say anything but ‘out’ when I hit the wirt.” The next day 1 was umpiring back of the plate. The first time the star cama to bat he hit s ly. He got a £ood lead on the second ball pitched 4t was thrown out six feet at sec ond. The play wasn't even close. I Tecalled his comment of the day pr vious. A few innings later he again reached first. Once more he tried to steal, and once again he was an easy out.

AUGUSTINE, Fla., March 5.— After one of the most exciting stru, gles that ever featured a golf tourna- ment in the south, Freddy McLeod, golfer de luxe of the Columbia Country Club, emerged victorious in the an- nual St. Augustine professional tournament here today. McLeod's total at the end of the four harrow- ing rounds was 304. In order to win McLeod had to beat out that other brilliant Scotch player, George Fother- ingham, who pressed him from the very start. Fotheringham finished two strokes behind. The final issue between McLeod was of the most exciting kind. Both and Fotheringham was of the most ex- citing kind. Both got into considerable difficulty during the entire round, but marvelous recoveries enabled them to keep down thelr score. McLeod clinched the match at the On the fifteenth he had taken the lead by playing per- fectly to the hole to get a par five. Fotheringham played over and was down in six.
