They all knew he was a pood, steady frolfer, but few of them, appreciated his true ability, according to open acknowledgment of some of bis club mates.

Mead is a dark horse, who njvs been cominj? quietly alonjr. Perhaps, his caddie Is the only man who knows exactly how he Is ftolnrr. except the pair of fellows he ban already eliminated. And retttnir an Interview with a caddy or a defented golfer is about as difficult as rettinsr an umpire to chanpre a decision. However, the fact that the Inverness score board handicap list allows him only four strokes, means that Taylor will be forced to play rather a strenuous game to meet all requirements.

The four other irolfers left to oppose the Indiana men are: Holland Hubbard. iStrahahan. and Frank Southard, all of Toledo, and tiuy Miller, of Detroit. Hubbard and Southard are both jrolfers of the vounjser feneration, the former be In Ohio champion in 1915 before he was twenty years old. and the latter, only lust past his sixteen year old mark, Is playing in his firnt real big tournament.

They meet each other today. As the winner of the fcitranahan Miller match will meet the winner of the Hunter Dlddel affair. It may not be a point lost to describe the plays of Miller. Stranahan is always steady and can be counted upon for an almost dead sure and even four player on the greater part of the course. Socrates Miller.

Some twenty years ago Guy Miller entered Michigan university and became known aa Socrates' Miller by his classmates. He burned the midnlKht oil, and when that was pone worked by candle Utrht and was a student of the TJ type. In everything he did he was efficient and got results. He was honor man In his class, and even now he Is known as the best baseball player ever turned out at Michigan with the possible exception of Sissler, who Is cutting up such capers with the Browns. Business kept Miller from playing baseball, so he took up urolf and became a real trolfer.

Just as he was a real student and ball player. He la six feet and more tall an3 frets a mighty powerful drive for all that hlght. And, as we men tioned above, he is one or the very few, players who ever defeated Diddel. lhls defeat wa back in the western five years ago. Diddel met and was defeated in the first round by the runner up of the tournament after an extra hole match.

Miller had also been eliminated In the first round and these two golfers Kot together In the president's cup con eolation matches. The match went to the extra hole and Miller was five years aisa Miller In the meantime has lost none of the "stuff" and Diddel Is playing the best game of his life. And If they meet but that Is oversteppihg, for Diddel has to get away with the Iawrencevllle Detralter, who confided In many friends yesterday that he beat Miller more times than Miller beat him. Hut what are eomparatve scores anyway? GIANTS GET SALLEE. NEW YORK.

DOPE PICKED LEAGUE CIRCLES seen evidences of a restoration of such conlidence as carried our club to a run of seventeen straight wins. TOss of team morale seemed to be our chief fault at home. None who accompanied us through the first western trip of the season couid possibly have recosnlxed in our. uncertain efforts at home the club that was able to rip throutrh the stlfTest opposition to seventeen consecutive victories. There wbs as much difference between the tliant.

abroad and at home as there is difference Iwtween daylight and darkness. That the club has class, as I have pointed out before, is fully established by the seventeen straight successes In question. A poor club cc'ld not win so many battles In a row in any sort of company. The root of the whole home trouble with the tilants was mental rather than physical. In my estimation.

That fact I tried to hammer into the heads of my associates times without number. Hut it Is dirticult to uproot an Idea even one bused on superstition from a mind worried by continued reverses. Rut I think a winning streak of even a few irames at home would have disillusioned our lvstters of the alleged handicaps from lights and shadows st Hrush stadium. Hut that was not to be. I think I can see the cure at work anion? u.

Continued sTu cess for the Yankee can not fail to brltiK oufthe best that Is In us, fur despite whatever shorccominK there may be among us. th Giants of today are sensitive as were the champions of old) of that prestige in New York which has always been the National Iasrue s.

M. W. Savage Is Dead. MINNEAPOLIS. July 13.

He was fifty five years old, and had lived In, Minnesota since ISMi His death followed by one day that of his most noted horse. Dan Patch, the world's champion pacer.

Other horses owned, by Mr. Savage and which were known the country over, included George Gano and Mlnnor Heir, both two minute pacers, and Crussus. trotter. Mr. Savage maintained a Minneapolis home, but spent most of his time at his colilu irv Savatf.

It sent Joe Kelly, the Indians star outfielder, to the Chicago Cubs, and in exchange McGill is 'to receive a cash consideration and two players yet to be named. There is one player in particular that McGill wants, and as part of the Kelly deal the Cubs have agreed to try and buy him from another major league team for the Indians. He is an outfielder. If this player is not secured lor me tnoe, then owner Weeghman may turn over to the Indrans Dutch Zwllltng, utility outfielder and oinch hitter of the Cuba And another player that may come as a part or the deal Is a first Daseman mat. the Cubs will try to buy for the Indians.

The first deal completed by President McOill was the purchase of pitcher Jean Dale, of the Cincinnati Reds, and he should be a tower of strength for the Indians' pitching staff. Last season Dale won eighteen games and lost seventeen for the Reds, which is some record considering the standing of the poor old Reds last season. Dale has been under suspension for the last week. In a huff he packed his doll rags and beat it for his home in St. Louis a week ago.

and the suspension followed. He was formerly with the Montreal club, of the International League. No Left Handers. The acquisition of Dale probably will mean that one of the Indians' present pitching staff will be sold, and fans know that the one to go Is Joe Willis, who has not been, going well this season. Dale is a big right hander, and if Willis goes the tribe will have no left handed twlrl ers.

Big Joe has won only two games and has lost six officially in the nineteen games in which he has participated. These are lively days for the ball play ers at Washington park. Almost every day there is one or more big league acouts sitting in the stands looking over the "talent" and the players are not long in spotting them. Yesterday Tom O'Hara, ecout for the Cubs, and Jack Ryan, of the Washington Americans. looked 'ern over.

O'Hara had been asking questions about Kelly for several days, and when Kelly Went through yesterday's game with the Millers with a perfect batting average, O'Hara lost no time in seeking McGill with a proposition. Big Cash Consideration. The Cubs must want Kelly very much. While the "cash consideration" was not given out, it is thought the Cubs paid a fancy price for him in addition to the agreement to supply two players satisfactory to McGill. A dispatch from Chicago this morning said the Indianapolis club will receive a cash sum between $12,000 and 15.000 in addition to the players.

this is majting it pretty strong and tome of the wad may be stage money from the Cubs' coffers Scout Ryan is sitting quiet and saying nothing. Yesterday he watched Paul Carter win his fourteenth victory, which, with two defeats chalked against him. gives him the best record in the Association. Ryan watched Carter closely, and McGill is sitting tight waiting for an offer to exchange Carter for Walter Johnson or another big portion of the Washington team. Another pair that watched Carter were Dunn and McCarty, two of the owners of the Cleveland Americans.

If the Indians get the first baseman mentioned in the Cub deal. It is probable that Jack Leary will be switched to the catching department, a position which he formerly played. This would add much batting Btrength to a department in which hitting has been lacking this season. Yesterday's hero was Tris Speaker Tria banged out a triple and three sinrlea in tha second Cleveland Yankee ratne, the blows helping Cleveland to first place. averaa at bat on his final aDDearance in Indianapolis.

He got two hits and walked twice in four trips to the plate. Crandall was an Indian hero. Karl picked oft three blows, one of which scored a run and walked once In five trips to the plate. He also contributed a nifty Melding stunt in tha sixth. Maasey had singled and when Holland hit into th keystone terltory on a hit and run signal, Crandali.
