Most of them declare that their hands

Ilnd It comfortabl6; Rolf Is so essentially
a recreation to them that they will hot
surfer a week's tribulation In order to
un? P,rlnoPlo which, In the end, would
benefit them considerably. Tho over
lanplng grip Is seen extensively In the
Htates, and the only weakness In tho
situation Is that many players do dot
nppear to realize tho main points ot this
method. Some of thorn may bo carrying
put experiments of their own. but cer
talnly others think that they are em
ploying what we may term the orthodox
form of overlapping, when In truth they
are doing nothing of tho kind.
An Interesting feature of golf on thn
Continent Is the employment of girl cad
dies. I have never seen them In Amer
ica, and they are to bo found on very few
coursec In Utltatn-Aberdovcy, Luton nnd
St. Anno's-on-Sea are tho only places that
I can recall at tho moment. Cnddylng
scorns to mo to be admirably suited to
Klrls; It Is not much uso an an occupation
for ft boy, seeing that, unless ho happens
to become a good plnyer fond only nbout
ono In fifty docs that), It offers no futuro
worth having. Taken all round, too, girl
caddies aro more attentive, polite nnd
keen nn tho game than their brothers who
carry clubs.
At Lo Touquot they aro a study for
philosopher or painter. Most of them aro
tho daughters of local fishermen s sdoncr
or later thoy marry tho sons of fishermen
and disappear from tho links. Hut until
they aro about 20 cnddylng Is their voca
tion, and right strong nnd healthy they
grow under its Influence.
Ono who cnrrled for me last year a tall,
dark girl whom any nrtls might gladly
have selected to pit for the picture of a
gipsy never seemed to grow tired nnd
never lost her zest for the game. Kho used
to trnmp 10 miles over tho sands from
nnd to her homo beyond Ktnples. Ono
day aho carried four rounds, walked In
nn Interval to Parls-Plago nnd back (n
distance of four miles) In order to accom
pany n girl friend, and Informed rnu nt
the finish that she was Just off to attend
a dance to which sho nnd other coddles
went every week nnd which would finish
at 2 o'clock In tho morning. I calculated
thnt before sho started dancing Bhe
would hove wnlkcd "C miles during tho
day.
In Switzerland women act ns caddies,
aad ln Ocrmnny a good many girls used
to bo employed on tho links. Golf was
rapidly becoming popular ln Germany
when tho war broke out, and this in spite
of tho fact that nothing like a decent
course had been laid out in the country.
A German onco told mo that I could
make a huge fortune ln live yenrs by go
ing out and designing courses and In
augurating clubs on the lines that ob
tained In America and Britain; perhaps
It was Just as well tha,t I declined to bo
tempted.
Some of tho greens on which I havo
played ln Germany havo been truly de
plorable At Badcn-Iladcn, whero we com
peted for tho championship, tho placo
was such a quagmire after heavy rain
that every one of us lost a lot of balls
In the fairway; a ball would simply pitch
Into the mud nnd dlsappcnr In It. I lost
six In this way, and ultimately sent my
caddlo forward at each, hole to mark the
spot where the ball dropped.
I bellevo that a good course was being
laid out close to tho Royal cBtato at Pots
dam when the war began. Iteport'says
that the money for it has slnco been com
mandeered by tho German Government,
so presumably that schemo has suc
cumbed. (Copyright, 1018, by the Wheeler Syndi

Aloxnnder can pitch shut-out ball eter
nally, so at least three finely pitched
games went to seed. Take three defeats
from the Phllly column and tack on three
victories and the keen difference, can be
easily seen, Which Is what two runs to
the start back of Alexander would have
accomplished In the last two weeks.
The Giant Chance
When the Giants grabbed two double
neadera ln a row and forged back within
a few games of the top attention was
again drawn to JtcQraw. This club has
'been so erratic since last July, when the
big cave-In started, that few have award
ed It a chance among the first three, But
there Is always this to remember: No
man can drive a club frarder or faster
than McGraw onco he gets It under way.
and as long as he Is In potting distance
there U always the possibility that ha
will rush his men to the front as he did
In 1911, when tho Giants, counted out, won
something like 1? out of 20 games on the
road througn September, And this Na
tional League race now is more a matter
of Inspiration and ambition than It Is of
power, speed and skill.
MoGraw's main complaint has been that
under existing conditions he has been
unable to keep his talent keyed up to the
proper point. It may be that a few vic
tories will establish the Old morale,
which, above all other factors, was the
winning element (n Giant ranks for three
years.

Header Against Macks.
SHIBE PARK, Aug. 7. - Dana Flllm
glm. Mack's Charleston recruit, wns put
to a test this afternoon, when ho wns
sentenced to pitch against tho slugging
Tigers In tho first gamo of tho double
header between tho Athletics nnd Detroit.
Dnna was Inclined to bo wild, but he ap
parently lmd plenty of stuff, as all of tho
Tigers' heavy artillery wore retired on
ensy chances.
Harry Covelnkle. tho old Phlllv twlrlcr.
who Is at tho present time ono of tho beat
left-hnndtd pitchers In tho land, opposed
Fllllnglm. Naturally tho Tigers woro ex
pecting an easy victory, but tho Macks
believed thoy were due for an unpleasant
surprise.
Manager Mack said befpre tho gamo
that ho knew nothing about McDonald,
tho third baseman of tho Houston club
of the Texns League!, who was reported
to have been 'purchnscd by the Athletics.
Mack said it was probably tho old minor
lenguo trick of coaxing bids from other
major league clubs.

Inula muffed Flllinglm's throw after
Cobb's bounder and both men wore safe.

Golf Is n slmptfr game. Tho only reason
thero aro 36 pages of rules Is that Certain
contingencies are bound to come up. And
then It li nice to have the what-to-do In
print. The rules have a way ot covering
nearly nil cases, but every now and then
there Is n slip-up, ns, for Instance, this
story, dragged from the obscurity of the
booming South:
J. W. DOR'nlhe and Johrt MathnV. two
pros from St, touls, engaged In a. friendly
bout on' a vacation over the links' of tho
uanen Country Club, Georgia.
Downing took up his brosle for a shot
on one of tho holes. Tho scene shifts to
a retreat behind a bunker somo distance
nwny.
A darky was going after n watermelon
between his knees. Another dnrky was
hovering over excitedly.
"Como away from dat melon, Snm'l.
Does yuh want It nil?" Just then there
was a thud. A geyser of Juice nnd seeds
squirted over Sam'l's shining face.
"Lohd a-massy, who dono t browed dnt
stone? Abm a-goln' somewhars else,
quick," And, flicking the seeds from his
eyes, Sam'l caught tip tho leaking melon
nnd galloped thence.
When Downing nnd Mathey came up
looking for tho brnssla shot, they saw tho
dnrkles In full flight nnd let out a whoop.
Tho only sign wns the dropping of tho
melon by Samuel and a hysterical leap
for the fence nnd safety.
The ball was not found.
"Tho coons awlped It. Maybe they
droppod It,"' said Mathey. "Lot's claim
the melon, nnyhow."
So the golfers went to tho melon In
tho courso of tho search. The scoop and
dredgo method had' evidently been used In
cleaning the melon. Mathey raised the
lid and found the ball floating In the Juloy
hollow.
How to play tho ball was a puzzler. Tho,
rules on a moving ball stopped nnd n
ball lodging In anything moving did not
apply, and neither did tho rule on a ball'
nt rest .displaced by an outside agency,
for It was decided tho ball was afloat
jyhen displaced.
Right then one of tho caddies camo up.
"What's all tho delayj" ho wanted to
know, "Yor ball'B In casual water. Why;
uoncna play? '
Charlie Hoffncr, one of tho favorites In
tho Philadelphia open championship
events, made a noblo effort to overtake
McNnmarn In tho last round. He was
five down when ho started. On the ninth
ho ran down a SS-foot putt nnd chalked up
a 37, cutting down McNnmara's lead to
three strokes. But he failed to keep up
with tho pace set by the veteran nnd
finished tied for fourth place.
Unlike most of the pros, Aleo Campbell
did not throw his ball angrily on tho
ground every time he missed 'a putt.
"Nipper" know It wasn't the ball's faull.
Each time he mtesed he "gavo his ptittisr
a kick. Naturally the putter Is to blnme
and not the ball.
Tho course at Bala was painfully
groggy ufter all the rain and there ."wns
no such thing tis n run on the bnll. Barnes
was among thoso much handicapped by
this fact. Ho depends greatly on his
prodigious drives. Ills drlycs throughout
tho tournament were virtually all carry.
and folk wondered where tliey would

A spectator picked up'i bftll, thinking" W

bed the ball, and a pair of golfers coin'n ,
along were amazed ni th distune 'one
of them had gotten on his drive. But
no one knew why, ocopt two ppli so
It .was all right. .
Charlio HofTner puts something on near

ford Country1 Club. For om reason they
have never taken up the gamo there. And
this In spite of the fact that the coutsn
is Ideally suited for worrien. It Is nltia
holes and all are, adjacent to .the club1'
house The course Is' not tiring, there
being few real hills, and It Is mostly fftii'
way, thUs discounting, tho "rough" Ma
tures. White there are a great niMiy
triips ,at Frnnkford, these should, not
bother 'women, a,s they play n shorter
game than men, and should thus be' hblo
to avoid them. '
The main reason for the diffidence if
Uie women seems to be that thei-e, are
always so many men playing "that the
other sex' feels It "would block the -cSurio
ahd'Interfero too much. On. account-.Dt
this, It-has been suggested thai -certain
days be set aside for the wom.en, .nnd
this matter Is now b'eforo the Golf Com
mlttco of the club for consideration. '

The "prettiest putter In the country"
Is the opinion of all the experts ho ha-ys
seen' tho results of the. skill of George
Pairuthers, pro at North Hills. Carrutn
crs spent three years In mnklnft the stick.
Tho club head was fashioned from a
solid piece of Mexican tenltwooL la leaded
and has n brass plate on the nolo. TJio
dub Is skilfully weighted that It feels
oxnetly "right" In the hands of any one.
It hns been brnutlfully finished, and Ce.r
ruthera has been offered large sums for
the club frequently. ''No money can
buy It," ho tells them all.
Tho score card at the homo, plato of -the

study In fours. There were nenrly t
of them chalked up In alb
J. P. MncBean, Jr., the youthful star of
the Old York Rond Country Club, caddled
