quiring tha,t maddening extra tap to tip
-; iJ?1"0 h0,B was the worst
orrender, mile no player on a Mrange
green expects to roll his ball down a
trough Into the hole, t would seem as If
he were entitled to a little consideration
and that tho hole might be placed'where
he would have half a chance with the
long ones.
Speaking of holes, there was some talk
of getting up a petition to make holes
larger In the future.
Mies M, Naylor, playing with Mrs,
Caleb Fox recently, topped her ball with
her brnssle so heavily going to tho sev
enth at tho Cricket Club, that her ball
bounced backward several feet.
"That must bo Oulmet's boomerang
shot' she remarked. "I'm n?t sure I
like t, though." And she reiterated this
remark, when she topped her ball six

her troubles with an Iron.
HOW TO MAKE A PWEL1. DRIVE:
To do this dq not swing on the ball and
ml&fl.. Tee tho ball well up In order to
bo suro at least of "getting a plcco of It."
Ubo as little sand as possible and remem
ber that a high tee affects one's playing
through the green.
The stance ts the most Important thing
In making a good drive. Do not stand too
noar or too far from the ball, ptixnd Just
right. Do not atand pigebn-toed, as this
doea not look nice.
Tho grip Is very Important. Be sure to
hold tho club lust right.
The preliminary wagglo Is the most Im
portant thing. This Is tho goffer's chance
to think over all the other bum drives he
has made, to wonder where this one Is
going and whether he's got another ball
In his bag, to ahft his feet, apd get things
opt of gear In general.
Just as the golfer thinks the ball Is
wooxllng away In a kind of hae, and ho
feels himself 'on the verge of a collapse,
he should suddenly snatoh back his club,
taking It back slowly, but not too slow.
At the top Pf the swing do not wonder f
iic iaco ok (no ciuu i mnita n mo
wrong direction op If you are In range of
the ball. Da not bring the stroke forward
too quokly or too slowly, If the player
sees he Is, going to hit the ball, ha should
yell at1 once "practice shot," thus saving
himself tho trouble of explaining- later to
his pppopent
if he thinks he will hit tho ball, he
should not hit tho ground behind It nor
In front. Hit the ball In the middle with
great power- It s hatter tp get a ''piece

"EDDIE MURPHY DAY"
AT SHIBE PARK; MACKS
CLASH WITH WHITO SOX
Former Athletics Player,
Now of Enemy Clan, to
Receive Present Bress

to Pitch.
"Eddie Murphy Day" will be celebrated
at Shllje Park thtr nfterpoon, when the
former Athletics' right fielder wU make
his first appearanco In this city as a mem
ber of tho Chicago White Sox. Murphy
was a popular player here and was con
sidered one of the most Important cogs In
tho Mack machine.
Never a brilliant flolder, Murphy more
than made pp for his deflcency In that de
partment by his great offensive ability,
lie waa a good hitter, one of the hardest
men In the league to pitch, boslde being
a heady and clever base runner. When
the Mack machine was broken up Murphy
teemed to lose Interest ln tho team, and,
nn n result, Manager Mack sold him to the
White Sox two weeks ago. His former
team-mates and the owners of the Ath
letics will hand Eddie a present thla
afternoon on his first appearance at the
Plate.
Rubq Bressler, or Nabors, tho recruit
from the Georgia-Alabama League, will
bo selected as the pitcher to oppose the
skidding Sox, while Urban Faber Is the
favorite for mound duty for Chicago.
When the White. Box were hero before

CHALMERS OR MAYER
WILL PITCH FOR PHILS
IN CINCINNATI TODAY
Moran's Bunch Seem to
Have Recovered Batting
Eye at Expense of Reds.
Alex's Victory First on
Trip.
CINCINNATI, A"S- 9. Either George
Chalmers or Ersklno Mayor w(ll pitch for
the Phillies against the Reds this after
noon. Chalmers has apparently recovered
entirely fronj the lame arm that bothered
him while the Phils were, at homo.
It Is not Mayer's-turn to pitch, as he
worked tWIce ip the Pittsburgh .series,
but ho wants a chance to redeem himself
for his defeat at the hands of the Pirates
en Saturday, and It Is likely Moran wl
give him a chance In case Chalmers a
not In form- By working Mayer after
Alexander, Manager Moran wl be abe
tp cpnno back With Alex for the first
game with tho Braves In this city and
follow With Mayer on Saturday,
Alexander's victory over the Beds yes
terday was hts first In the West, and It
was particularly pleasing to Manager
Moran, aa the Phillies hit the ball harder
than they have for a month, Gene Dale,
tha Beds' star hurler, waa the victim of
the vicious Phllly assault, and It waa the
hardest the Montreal lad haa been hit
this season.
Manager Moran believes that the Phils
have shaken oft the batting slump for
i;ood apd that the sluggers wl start
hitting their normal gait untl the close
of tie season,

shinned against than shinning, But this,
also. Is not strictly compulsory, You are
at liberty to employ your own Judgment.
Just a Word to the Dravcs
No club tp bnseball has ever shown
rarer courage or more enduring faith In
the shadow of defeat than George Slat
lings' Braves.
No club haa ever rallied from such
depths two years In succession to launch,
a drive against thp top,
No other club haa gone aa grimly tp
the task of rebuilding' Its shattered for
tunes. And probably no other club, unless it
was tho old Orioles, has ever gone as far
toward rough-rldlpg umpires and oppos
ing players as the line-up now under dis
cussion. The Pravss have gpne beyond ahy fair
limit in thlB ast respect, and the umpires
of President Tener's clrquU should eea
that such tactics are curbed at nnee. Wo
happen tp knowi frpm first hand, a few
chosen oppressions which certain of the
Braves havo flrpd at opposing players In
the way of goat-gpttlng artillery. And
this system of warfare h, no part In
clean baseball,
We give ground to n one In respect
and admraton for the mental, phyalcal
apd psychological meke.upa 0( this re
rnarkablo club, but the, other part of It
doesn't belong.

About Evers
Th ral of Cobb, Collins and othM
can be understood, Cobb la batting ,400.
Collins Is batting around .Mo, kUldlrtk
brilliantly and stealing many bases.
irtit the case of Ever is the moit y
markable In bareball. Here la ft ball
player rated of untold value to Ms claw,
yet h is batting under .268, haa tplert
comparatively few bases and partita a,
fielding average pf only normal Worth.
Thla abiding value of Everj, minu any
Unusual physical brilliance, la deal evt
dence of his unsurpassed mentality and
magnetism, For he Is a great ball player
whero with the same physical records
tho average human would be oply a
flller-ln,
The ease of Byers recalls, In a manner,
that of a certain secpnd baseman Who
onoe tolled for Comlskey,
'How. good Is, this fellow at aeeondt
a friend onoe asked the Old Itoman.
' can't lilt," replied Commyt "ha
isn't much of an Inflslderj he Ja slow and
haa a weak arm. But Jie Is one of the
greatest ball players I em saw." A
much depends on the shape of the head
as upon the battfpg eye, the salary whip:
or the hoof. .
Tigers vs. Red Sox
Ty Copb, discussing the Tigers' chanea
against the Red Sox a few days ago, ar
ranged the dope In this order:
"We hava been playing the steadiest,
the most consistent ball of any club In tha
raeo alnco April. We haven't had any
spurta nor any slumps. Wa have been
merely moving along Just a shade aboya
.600, We nra still due for a winning
streak, and If a certain pair of pltchora
come to the help of Coveleskle, Dauss and
Dubuo, we'll get that streak and win. If
they don't, Bostpn will win and we wlU
finish second."
If tho tlraves Win again this season,
their triumph wilt be even "more unusual
than the victory of last year, For last
year tho Braves had In pill James a
Pitcher able to win ?7 battles, Ths season
James has wpn only flva games and haa
concluded his work for the campaign, So
here la a deficit of St -victories contributed
by one man that stalHngs and bis man
were forced to make up In pther ways.
Tho wonder Is that with mora than a
third of his main Pitching staff rendered
unfit, the Brave pilot waa able to make
his latest advance.
Thp Greatest
Dear Sir I see where Travera and Out
met have been rated as tha two greatest
putters In the game. I happened to have
played against both and also against
Travis. And I happened to have watched
nil threo In many of thlr leading
matches. And you cap accept the testi
mony as direct that for general copalst
enoy, for deadlines year In and year out,
fpr uncanny eurcness almost without a
break from tho edge pf the green to
within easy striking distance of the cup,
Walter J, Trayls with the putter Is klntr
of them all. As a master of this one club
from every possible distance the game
has never seen hts equal,
OUTSIDER.
Travis is undoubtedly greater thai,
either at tha art of putting his long ap?
proaoh putts dead to the cup. In tho way
of holing out the 10, '13 and 15 footers
there la little choice , .

Aa it waa, darkness and a raw mist en

Germantown has played In winning
