Weo Freddie won the national championship in 1908. Since that times he has won various other titles. But the remarkable part about his career is that he is still a real com- petitor in any tournament he ente despite the handicap of size as well as of age. Because of his small stature, McLeod has difficulty getting the distance from the tees that Sarazen, Farrell and some of the others get Nevertheless, in some manner, he manages to get to the greens in the same number of shots as the other and then he has a distinct advantage, for he is one of the best putters in the game.

Willie Plant and Willie Ritola are back in the me- tropolis. PLAY IMPORTANT GAME. LAUREL, Md, April 9.—Upper Marlboro and Laurel High School nines were to meet here today in a contest that probably will go far to- ward determining the Prince Georges County interhigh title. Laurel hand- ily vanquished Hyattsville and Marl- boro overwhelmed Surrattsville. IN TWO0 TRACK MEETS. PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 9.—A re- port reaching here from Oklahoma City, where the Pittsburgh entourage is now stopping, stated that Eddie Moore, who had a priority to the second-base job, is leaving for home to try the rest treatment for his in- jured shoulder. Fresco Thompson is picked to replace him at second base when the season opens. W. Knight, the titleholder, was elimi- nated in the first round of the an- nual North and South amateur golf tournament yeslerday by Parker W. ‘Whittemore, medalist, 1 up, nineteen holes. The match was the feature of the championship flight. The Bostonian had a birdie 3 at the extra hole and was never down to his opponent throughout. Other thrilling matches were those between A. M. Hoxie of Boston and H. C. Fownes, 24, of Pittsburgh, the latter losing on the nineteenth green, and the defeat of B. P. Merriman of Waterbury, Conn., by 1 up, at the hands of T. B. Wooten of Atlantic City. F. C. Newton of Brookline, a form- er holder of the title, won his match by default, and Arthur Yates of Rochester, winning by § and 6 from M. B. Johnson of Cleveland, had al- most as easy a time. W. C. Fownes, jr, of Pittsburgh provoked a little stir of surprise when he defeated Richard Tufts of Boston by 5 and 4, but the defeat of J. D. Chapman of Greenwich at the hands of W. W, Rixey of Princeton, W. Va, 3 and 2, was expected. Chicago holds the American League record for the greatest number of consecutive games won—19, in 1906. For more more than ever, and then froze to the bot- tom. The water froze so fast that most of the fish were frozen solid in the ice before they had time to dle a slower death, consequently they were beautifully preserved. ‘When I heard about this I wonder- ed if any of the fishermen would be surprised to see the fish come to life when they thawed them out. Fish do ‘that. It is quite possible to chop a fish out of the ice, take him home, thaw him out, and put him in a tub of water, whereupon he will promptly come back to life. Al Evans does this with sunfish. Al s a winter fishing fan, and he en- Joys fishing for sunfish. Last Winter he fished in pretty cold weather, and as he threw the sunfish out on the ice they froze immediately. When time to go home he put them in a tub of water to thaw out. He was surprised a little later to see the tub full of swimming fish. So when Al goes fishing these days it's great event among his small sons. As soon as they get home they put some of the frozen fish in the bath- tub and let them thaw out and swim around. Then the youngsters catch them a la Summer, with worms and bait. - o The longext municipal golf course in the country, measuring 6,767 yards, is located at Denver, Colo. comfort- wear $10 “Tri-Wears” $7.50 “Hahn Specials” $5.95 Cor. 7th & K Sts. 414 9th St. “City Club Shop” 1914-16 Pa.
