TLANTA, Ga., October 17.—Southern golf enthusiasts who followed Cyril J. H. Tolley, British amateur star, in two matches here, de- clare they witnessed the longest driving in the history of the game in Atlanta, the home of Bobby Jones, national amateur champion, and former open titleholder. » Jones, not a short hitter from the tee, was consistently playing the odd. He called on his faithful irons, and they responded so well that he was almost exactly cven in strokes with the British guest, however, At the Eastlake course Tolley's tee shot on No. 3 traveled 285 yard From the fifth tec he got a good 300 vards, and followed with a brassie that was so long and straight that he was nicely on the green in 2, putting Inside Golf Seasoned veterans of the course un- Pesitatingly gave him a ord on | the 425-yard tenth, where his tee shot | left him the easiest of pitches to the | Breen. . | A Druid Hills, on the sixth hole, ) Tolley's drive carried fully 300 yards By Chester Horton. and left him an open and short pitch to the green With the line 10 feet to the left the ball would have rolled on the green, experts present de- clared. I never saw that done before and never expect to see it again,” the comment of Bobby Jones the shot. From a lofty tee on the seventh, the slugger shot for a hidden green, driving the ball over a pateh of tree to a corner of the green, ful S yards, with great heisht necessary At to insure position short of a total L loss. The tee shot on the 410-yard eleventh was 80 yards short of the Breen.

A high-water mark in financial re- turn for a minor league player sold to the majors is claimed for the Groves transaction. Asked why the extra $600 was ached to the $100.000, Dunn a e that he understood that Babe Ruth was sold to the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox for $100,500, and that he demanded and received $100 more—to justify his claim that “Groves was the best pitcher in base ball today. Connie Mack saw Groves win a 5-to-0 victory from his Athletics last month, when ~ the southpaw vielded only two safeties and fanned 13 of the Mackmen. “Name your price for Groves,” said Mack to Dunn after the game, and Dunn went the $100,000 figure just $600 bet- ter. makes a sharp T has been the most costiy to a club.

HE old golf axiom that “a medalist never wins his tournament” has received a couple of severe jolts in the short ribs during the last fortnight in select golf circles about Washington. George Voigt gave the old tradition the first nasty dig two weeks ago when he annexed the medal and the tournament at his own club— Bannockburn. And then along came R. Cliff McKimmie, also one of Ban- nockburn’s most select of the elect, who stepped out and won the qualify- ing round last Monday, then won the final round of the Town and Country tourney yesterday without being pushed by young Henry G. Pitt, who exhibits his fine form and fine game to the habitues of East Potomac Park, except when there is a club tournament on.

Cliff's steadiness proved too much for the public links slugger. however, and he squeezed out a final hole victory, winning 2 up. In the final Pitt was outclassed, for CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 17.— Realizing the importance of starting early to build up the team for next season, Jack Hendricks, manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, leaves Sat- urday for the Pacific Coast to look over several play who have been recommended to him, with a view to purchasing them for the Reds. The passing of Daubert, the release of Duncan to Washington and the im- minent release of George Burns, who will undoubtedly become manager of a minor league club, makes it nec- essary to add strength to the team. If the proposed class AA champion- ship series between St. Paul and the | | winner of the Coast league pennant is played, Hendricks will see a num- ber of prospects in action, among them Outfielder Christensen and Catcher Dixon of the Saints. He also is interested in Welch of Seattle, an outfielder, and Shortstop Ryan of the San Francisco club. The Red leader expects to be gone two or three weeks. < HOLMEAD BIRD FIRST IN 200-MILE FLIGHT The 200-mile race of the National| Capital Concourse Association was flown from Pittsburgh, Pa.
