drive. That Bramston admits, but you would be ut sea to get the distance he does until you went thtough a long slege of hard work. The boy, he admits, gets the swing easiest. But Bramston, while willing swear that his own methods of driving have brought good results, is not egotistical enough to say that other methods could not be adopted which would bring good results. The idiosyncracles of each player naturally move him to adopt the style that comes most natural to him. All points in common in the game of Inetruction may be acquired from a book and from the viva voce of the protessional teacher. Summing it all up Bramston says that the ability to play a good game of golf { may all be stated in a few words. ery stroke should be played with a view to making the next one as easy as possible.” GOLFERS T0 0 T0 ST. LOUIS { Next Mooting of the Tranumis Association Probably Fixed. \ sippi WILL MEET THE WESTERN THERE ALSO Asmouncement of the 1904 Annual Made During the Week, but * Detail Not Yet Given Out. Are Aeyward G. Leavitt of Leavitt, Neb., sec- retary of the Transmississippl Golf asso- clation, was In the gity Friday and said toat in all probability the Transmississippl annual tourney for 194 will be held in St. Louls. No definite announcement to that end 18 or can be made, but the Indications point to it as more than a mere proba- bility. In this connection the announcement is also made that the second contest with the Western Golf association will also be pulled off in Bt. Louis. It will be remembered that two weeks afd the best players repre- senting the Transmississippl and the ‘Western Golf associations held a tourney in Chicago, which resulted in a victory for the Transmisslesippl team: Since that time the Western Golf assoclation has had a wvery much disgruntied lot of players in its ranks and they have been very anxious for a return engagement. It is proposed to hold this contest over the St. Louts links in June preceding or immediately fol- lowing the annual tourney of tha Trane- mississipp! Golf assoctation. In support of the plan of holding these two events in St. Louls the argument Is advanced that the golfers will want to see the exposition and that they can com- bine the two. The 8t. Louls golfers are mnglous that the tourney be held over their links, although members of the directory of. the Transmississippl Golf assoclation have opposed this plan. Golf events galore are scheduled for St. Louis next year and it has been deemed best by many to hold the Transmississippl where the links would not be so crowded and where there would be no expbsition to detract from the in- terest and attendance upon the annual toushey. As showing the manner in which golf 18 tp be conducted at St. Louis next year, President McGrew of the Glen Echo Coun- try club announces that he has completed arrangements for the holding of the world's mateur golf tourney over his club’s Hnk: beginning Monday, September 19. The tour- ney is open to the amateur golfers from any and all parts of the globe, and the winner is to be known as the champlon amateur golfer of the world. A gold medal will be awarded to the first, a silver medal o the second and bronze medals to each of the unsuccessful players in the semi-finals. A driving contest will be held to determine the world's champlon driver, who will also recelve a gold medal. An innovation will be & putting contest over a nine-hole put- ing course at night, {lluminated by electric hts, for which a gold medal will be awarded the winper. Teams of ten men each, representing any golf assoclation in the world, will compete for a handsome trophy, each member of the winning team recelving a gold medal and members of the second team a silver medal. An en- trance fee of $ for each individual entry ‘will be charged. No entrance fee will be charged for the team competition. En- tries close with James E. Sullivan, chief of the department of physical culture, on August 19, 1904. The rules of the United Btates Golf assoclation to govern. Having been asked to say something about the famous Waveland course at Des Moines, the writer will say that the air lina distance from hole to hole throughout the entire course is 70 yards short of three miles, or 5,210 yards, the outer nine holes being 2,740 yards and the inner nine 2, yards. Bogey for the course is This includes a 39 for the outside nine and a 38 for the inside nine. The length of the various holes, together with bogey for each hole, is here indicated: Length in Yards. Bogey, ] Totals In driving off to No. 1 the drive is due south. A good drive will bring the ball to a polnt about fifty yards away from the green and just at the brow of a very steep and short hill. The green ls also slanting. Next to Nos. 5 and 9 this is the hardest hole on the course in which to mak bogey, for there 18 £0 much uncertainty about the approach shot and putt. Going to No. 2 the drive is due west. A 200-yard drive will bring one to the brow of a razor-back hill, the summit of which will then be about houf way to the green. An approach shot strikes well on the other side of the short hill will bring the ball to the green, which 1s obscured from view. The drive to No. 3, which is the longest hole in the course, is also due west. On either side of the first six holes on the outside there is a stretch of heavy timber. Through the green, however, the course is 200 feet wide. No. 8 necessitates two good drives and an iron shot ranging from 100 to 17 yards in length, depending, of course, upon the dis- tance acquired by the two first shots. This green and the No. 2 green are level and, as they are covered with a splendid turf, the approach and putt can be made with precision. The drive to No. 5 18 due east and is up an inéline all the way to the green, where it is level. Arrived at the No. 4 greeén, a look about the surrounding portion of the grounds 1s then made, and what is re- garded as the finest view in the west, inso- far as that view may be obtained on any golt gourse, s then to be seen. All about one can see steep hills and green places covered with heavy trees’and shrubbery. Not a house I8 to be seen, and the players seem to be shut off from the world as com- pletely as I they were a thousand miles from a city, Instead of being, as they really are, at least two miles within the city limits. The No. § hole, which s next, is the hard- est hole on the course to negotiate success- fafly. The drive is made to the southwest. The least bit of a slice will get one In trouble, as the land is rolling to the north. A good drive will place the bail in & little valley, ind the next shot must be made nearer to a point dus west, and a good second will place the ball within fifty or 100 yards of the green, although some have reached the edge of the green in two. The green is level and smooth. No. ¢ hole hasybeen dubbed “Klondike.” The drive is due north. Running across the fair green there is a dry brook of fair dimensfons. It Is not regarded as a hasard, provided one's drive lodges in it more than 150 yards from the tee. Immediately in front of the tee there is a wider and run- ning brook, so that a player topping his ball 1s up against it in reality. No. 6 is “Bunker Hill." The drive is made due east and if a ball is hit squarely and well lofted it will land directly on top of a steep hill, from whence an approach of elghty yards will land one on the green. This green is rolling and the approach and putt must be made with accuracy in order to play even with bogey. Nos. 7, 8 and 9 are each short holes, im- mediately on the outer edge of the Inside nine. While there is a wide margin for a sliced ball to escape trouble, the least bit of a pull will get one into trouble. No. 9 is a hard bogey—the hardest on the course, for the green is rolling and is placed right at the top of a hilly place, which ipcliies theretrom in all directions. Arriving at the clubhouse again the drive to No. 10 is made directly to the west, where the green Is placed on an elevated green. The drive to No. 11 is straight back toward fthe clubhouse, the groen being within twenty yards of the No. | tee. The drive to No. 12 is made from a point divectly in front of the clubhouse straight toward the west. A good first shot will place the ball where, on the second, the ball must pass between a growth of young trees on the right and some larger and older trees on the left. The edges of the two bunches of trees come near converging at this point and once a player has gotten gecross the edge his third shot, which would be a short | approach shot, would land him in the green. The drive to No. 13 is due north and is down hill all the way, but the green is elevated somewhat. The drive to No. 14 1s up a gradual but not steep incline, with a road for a hasard and about 160 yards distant. The drive to No. 15 is to the north- west and carries across a valley between two hills. A player who has & good long game is in clover in driving for No. 16, the second longest hole in the course. The ball must have a carry of 1% yards or there is trouble ahead for the ball will drop into a soft place. It takes two good {drives and an elghty-five yard approach toreach the green, which is surrounded on the west and south by clumps of trees and by the fence on the north, which encloses the blg herd of elks and a ball which goes across the fence is out of bounds. No. 17 is & short hole, but it is uphill all the way and the green is elevated, but perfectly level. The drive to No. 18 is made | due east for the club house, with a road skirting the path of the drive and just north of the green all the way from the tee to the green, which is level. The best record for the outside nine holes was made by Instructor Thomas O'Neil),, who negotiated a 3 without get- ting 4.3 on any of the short holes. His card read as foilows: 2-d-f-d--d-4-4-4-36 He has made & 3 on the inside nine, thus totaling & 71 for the course, but these scores were not made consecutively The Waveland course is covered with a splendid turf on every inch of ground of the elghteen holes. The growth of blue grass has been s0 heavy as to give con- stant employment to twelve men and horses and lawn mowers durlug this sea- son. Members of the Midiothian, Wheaton and Glenview links of Chicago have visited the course and have sald that It Is with- |out an egual in the west insofar as its J. A. Bramston, the Oxonlan golfer who was one of the most distingulshed players on Captaln J. A. Low's team of English- men who had & victorious visit to this ccuntry this year, has gone back to his Winchester home, where he sleeps in a house with one slde of his room open to the weather the year round. If for no other reason than his victory in the Homewood cup tourney in which he met a record for the course of 75, made ‘with an American-made gutta percha golf ball, “Johnny” Bramston has demon- strated that he can play golf. He is the author of a new book on golf which is at- tracting much attention in this country. Bramston departs somewhat from the tech- mique of the ordinary primer on golf for beginners, and at the start tells the would- be bogey tors that the game be- &ins with a paradox. The wail of the be- ginner is always the same, be he a Brit- ish subaltern in the wilds of Africa, where the golf course is a level stretch in the desert, or an Omaha player seeking to solve the mysteries of the anclent Scot same. The plaint of each beginner is: *If only I could drive The experts will tell you that a short ball @own the “center atsle,” or “cinder path,” B8 it 1s known by golfers, is often the most effective if the player Is good on the short me. In other words, the race is not al- ‘ways to the swift. A missed putt on the Sreen, ten Inches—or any other distance from tho oup—in other words, counts just the same failure to make a long drive. The nearer you get to the green, says Bramston, the more difficult the game. Taylor, Vardon and all of the world's best known golfers, agree on this. In cham- plonship matches, quite seven-tenths of the holes are won eimply and solely on the green, owing to one of the players taking three or more putts, or more rarely a long #teal or a very accurate pitch, which en- ables the fortunate competitior to get down in one as agninst the more orthodox two putts of his rival. The tyro positively re- fuses to bellove the evidence of these worthles, and feels that life would be worth the living If he could hit the ball high and hard with his driver. Theoretic- wily, at least, says -Bramston—and others fn about the same words—driving is the eastest part of the game. The ball is teed up when hit from the tee and very little calculation as to strength needed is ever indulged in, especially if the hole is long enough to warrant two or more good hard shote with wooden clubs.

A number of citizens of Omaha are in- terested In this description; for they are trying to induce the park board to set aside one of the city parks for a golf course and It was thought that the work of the park board of Des Moines in thus setting aside one of its public parks as a golf course might not be without its in- fluence upon the park board of Omaha. H. T. Lemist of the Country club and F. J. Hoel of the Field club are pushing this matter and have been given assurances that the matter will be given considera~ tion by the park board of Omaha. The contest for Country club the Cartan cup at the resulted in a victory fur “Dick’ Stewart. This cup is contested for annually and is to become the property of the player who wins it three times in succession. Stewart's friends at the Country club gre having considerable fun over a little incident In connection with the recent match at Chicago between the Western Golf association and the Trans- mississippl, in which the latter was vie- torfous. The player with whom Stewart was palred was a suitor for the hand of Mrs. Stewart at the same time that Stew- art was and the latter was eventually the favored sultor. It was therefore a crucial moment for Stewart when he found him- self pitted against his former competitor for the hand of his wife, and as Stewart afterwards sald: “I wouldn't have lost either match for the world In the contest at the Country club for the women's subscription cup, the event was won by Mrs. Redick. This is also an annual event and much interest is man- ifested In it. The finals were, contested with Mrs. E. H. Sprague. E. H, Sprague of the Country club was quite a factor in the recent Transmissis- sippl tourney at Des Moines and won evefy- thing up to the semi-finals, when he bumped up against J. R. Maxwell, who won the champlonship the next day. When the fact became known in Omaha that Sprague was doing so well, some of his friends here forwarded him a telegram, just as he was begining his match in the semi-finals with Maxwell, urging him to play the game of his life, and this tele- gram, Sprague afterwards facetiously re- marked, was his undoing. Dr. SBumney of the Field club has the distinction of belng the only golfer who ever made a hole In one stroke over the ‘Waveland course at Des Moines. This feat was accomplished during the Transmis- sissippl tourney. As he had made the two preceding holes In three each, he thus negotiated three holes in seven strokes which has never been equaled, so far as known, on any course in the west, A number of events have been chronicled during the past week which afe of interest to local golfers. Prominent smong these is the announcement that Fred Bartsch, the instructor at the Country club, will noj be with the Country club next year, as he has accepted a position as instructor at the Homewood club, north of Chicago. The Homewood course is comparatively new, having been opened up a little more than two years ago. Its popularity has already been established and it is one of the many well patronized links about Chicage, which is fast becoming the mecca of western golf- ers and where such men as Turple, Forgan, Clarence and Walter Egan, Louls James and Tweedie are making the game of golf in the west take that high plane which has been reached in the east, where such players as Travis, Byers, Douglas, Ander- son and others have long been identified with all that is first class in golf. Bartsch learned the game of golf while acting as caddle at the Washington Park links at Chicago. It has been' proven repeatedly that youth s the proper time in which to acquire the abandon and swing which characterizes the work of the true golfer, and there is no class of persons in the world who are in a position to get next to all the fine points in the game as the caddles. In- structor Sherwood of the Field club is also an example of the graduated caddie and he algo learned the game while serving at Chi- cago. It Is not known who Bartsch's suc- cessor at the Country club will be. His brother Frank is a bidder for the position, Correspondence has been had with In- structor Watson of the Des Moines Coun- try club. Watson is one of a family of golfers whose names are famous wherever the gutta percha is chased from one end of the land to the other. Watson is a thor- ough gentleman and an accomplished in- structor. He holds the record for the west in the matter of a medal score over & nine- hole course. The Des Moines Country club bogey Is 40 and Watson has negotiated the nine holes in 82, which is three strokes better than par golf. His card for this event was as folluws: d4-4-4-4-3-4-8-4-2-32. Bartsch expects to depart for Chicago by November 15. Soon after his departure his successor will be selected. QUAIL AGAIN BECOME TARGET Nebraska Prohibition Against Shoot- fug Bob White Expires Today Local sportsmcn are now at liberty to shoot qualls In the state of Nebraska without danger of arrest, with the excep- tion of nbout ten counties. In this state there Lias been a closed season on qualls for three years and the season reopens taday. At this time of the year the small pests such as weasels, skunk, etc, do more damage to the small game than the shot- guns, although the weather is not to their liking just now, despite the fact that the fall has been ideal. In this state it is an oftense agalnst the law to ship game—the owner must go with the game personally nd he is not permitted to have in his pos- session more than 50 pounds. That is what makes the small game so costly. In the western part of the state quall can be pur- chased for 10 cents each, while In this city they are worth from 40 to 50 cents each. The last legislature made several changes in the game laws, the more important of the open seasons being here noted: Prairie chickens, Auguts 15 to October 1. Doves. August i to September I5. Plover, July 15 to September 15, Ducks’ and” geese, Seplember 1 to April Quall, November 1 to January 1 In connection with the shooting of quall E. F. Haberlein, fish and game warden, has issued a letter which is as follow: “In connection herewith I wish to make a suggestion—spare the quails this fall to replenish the supply. We have but few qualls left, but by allowing them to go un- molested this year thb Increase by the fol- lowing season should be noteworthy. Let us unite and mutually agree mot to kill & quall the coming season. Now since all game birds are protected by law, market hunting m? shipping can eas- tly be stopped, and anyone attempting to evade the law under the pretext of only buying and shipping rabbits will soon find himself entangled in the meshes of the law and come to grief. The law was amended and supplemented to put a stop to market hunting and trafic in game, and to preserve the same to the ones who hayve the most right to it and who feed it. the farmer, who with his friends can en- joy it in & sportsmaniike manner." —_— Knowing ones order Cook's Imperial Champagne—not solely on account. of the name, but the product & L DAILY BEE: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1903 GOSSIP FROM THE CRIDIRON Annusl Ory for a Test Matoh Between East and West. FOOT BALL IN THe WEST IS FIXED No Longer an Unceriain Qui Entitied to Recognivio: the Big Leaders in the Kast. Once again has ine annual cry gone up asking that a game beiween the siar foot ball teams of the east and the west be ar- ranged in order to determine the much- mooted question of superiority. Foot ball in the west has made rapid strides in the last few years. In Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnefota the west thinks it has some strong foot ball material. The effete youngsters of the east have not seen fit thus far to book a game with their worthy opponents of the west, and the clamor for such an arrangement has well-nigh reached such a stage that it will have to be silenced by some means or other. By what process of reasoning the blue-blooded aristocrats at Yale, Harvard, Princeton and other places in the east which support strong teams, have chosen to Ignore this demand, Is something which the foot ball enthusiasts of the west have been unable to fathom. That the elevens of the west are strong cannot be' denied. That the elevens of the east are stronger is probably true, but it will not be admitted until the matter s de- clded by an actual conflict or battle be- tween the best teams representing these sections. It it should be taken for granted that Yale and Michigan represent the best there 18 in these sections, why a game can- not be arranged between the two is a mys. tery. Coach Yost has been anxlous to ar- range such a contest, but his plans and en- treaties have fallen on ears of atone. That such a contest would be a record- breaker insofar as gate receipts ure con- cerned goes without saying. Such a contest 4avould be a matter of national interest. Whereas the present contests are merely sectional matters, a game between repre- sentative elevens of the ecast and west would attract enthusiasts and critics from all parts of the country. Foot ball In the west is no longer an un- certaln quantity. It has assumed that cosmopolitan character which has marked the work of the crack elevens of the east, and today the west is able to boast of first- class teams. The claim having been made by the westerners for the last two or three years that their best teams are on a par with the best in the east, why can they not set up a claim for the national champlon- ship on grounds which are as justifiable as that on which the crack eleven of the east may base its claim. And if it be assumed that this clalm of the west Is meritorious is 1t right for the easterners to turn the cold shoulder? In all probability the crack teams of the east, such as Yale, Harvard and Prince- ton, are superior to such teams as Mich- igan. But that is no argument fnsofar as satisfylng the people of the west is concerned. While all the westerners arc not Wissourta yet they “like to be shown.”, And the only way this can be done is for the two best teams of the affected sections to get together in one great and memorable contest, that is eas- ily decided. Let it be a post-season affair. The foot ball seasori ends on the glorious Thanksgiving. Let the winners in the east and the west get together and fight the annual battle for the champlonship of the United States. Nothing less than this will drown the clamor which has gone up from the rank and file of the western enthusiasts for the past few years, ‘Walter Camp and other eastern author- ities have seen fit thus far to disregard the claims of the western enthusiasts. How much longer this thing will continue Is coming to be a serious question and is fast becoming a sore spot. It is noted, how- ever, that the crack elevens of the east are not averse to drafting the best players in the high schools and other places throughout the west that they can place their hands upon. Liberal inducements are made the promising athletes of the west to mix up in the collegiate and athletic affairs of the eastern elevens. If the men from the west are eligible for the eastern elevens, it may be rightly assumed that the western elevens are not of that inferior grade which seems to have be- come the settled conviction of the eastern- ers. The demand for a national contest 1s increasing with each year and can mnot longer be ignored. The Creighton team was defeated at Highland Park a week ago, but the de- feat was not without its blessings in dis- guise. One of the Des Moines newspapers prints the following story in connection®| with the affall All the girls of Highland Park college ate chocolates short!y after the conclusion of the game with Creighton university on Saturday afternoon. Surrounded by a cir- cle of charming femininity, which waived Highland Park colors in his face and d« manded his Instant capitulation and co version, one of the Creighton sympathizers, who had been active in vocal demonst: tions during the game, hauied down his colors und promised never to do it any more. But the girls wanted proof of his sin- cerity, and no proof is so dear or con- vincing to the feminine heart as chocolate | creams. When their victim had counted out several hard-earned dollars on the counters of the Highland Park candy store and several pounds of nllurlng chocolates had passed Into the hands of his fair cap- tors he was pronounced exonerated from the charge of treason and was suffered to make a speech by way of teliing what he thought about it. “Dear ris,” he said. “Now, hear that,” remarked a fair coed. “My fondness for High.and Park college is of recent birth,”” continued the unknown, “‘but it is none the less deep and sincere, It is s0 deep that I have nothing left in my ckets and so sincere that I am sorn for fl’ not for my sake, but for yours. hope that there were chocolates enough to g0 around and that someone will lend me & car ticket to get home on.

BASE BALL GOSSIP OF WEEK Pipe Dream Season Opens with a Large and Interesting Array of Vislons. Pipe dreams are ripe. Not only this, but a number of them are foot ball training for the colleglate. It undertukes to show that foot ball players achieve success after graduation and that their foot ball training assists them in suc- cessfully fighting the battles of life. The modern game of foot ball is of such re- cent date that no dats is at hand upon which te base u claim for or against Chis, assertion. What is known as foot ball, in & general wuy, has been played in the i States for several ye: but the more modern Hl:fby game I8 a creature of recent years and iis devotees have hardly been afforded a fair chance as yet to make a name for themscives. Scanuing the lst of "famous players of the past few years does not disclose the fact that any of them have risen to fame. By this it Is not te be inferred that many of them' have not e s Rl 965 being sprung, almost every magnate around the circuit having one of his own, and some of them two or three. Out of the St. Louls confab came just one thing for the Western league; it wasn't pushed into class B, but with Milwaukee and Kansas City lopped off its circuit, what a poor miserable ghost of its former grandeur it appeal The situation in Milwaukee and Kansas City was left to arbitration, with Bryge of Columbus to represent the West- ern. The board will meet at Jersey City soon, and pass upon the relative merits of the conflicting claims in the disputed territory. Even a palmist could tell the fate of the Wesatern. All the fight is now to save the money Burns and Packard have invested in the plant at Kansas City. They may get something out of this. Van Brunt is out with a declaration that it Kansas City {sn't in he won't play next vear. That may be !nterpreted to mean that a new magnate will represent the Joetown people next year. Simmons and his friends at Peorfa have had enough of it, also, and that means no more Peorfa. In fact the circuit as at present doped seems to be Sloux City, Des Moines, Omaha, St. Joseph, Colorado Springs and Denver, for a six-club league, just what George Tebeau proposed two years ago.
