Ono peaceful day before ho came to

One of them settled tor a long drive
and drove bo far that no one saw It.
They looked and looked. On both sides,
far down tho course, In the rough, In the
woods, tn the haaards. In the hole even
but no ball Where had It gone?
"Do "o6 gle up?" asks Cuthbert of his
IstcncrB Then he relates how It went

while all fcjes were glued In the gloitm

somewhat different from modern af

OOif etiquette: When the player Is en
tirely put out with the actions of ha up
punent and feelo like bolng a trifle short
with him he shtfuld not resort to threats.
Also remember It Is against the rUleB to

E..S, Armstrong entered formal protest
to tne greens commi"ee at Beincld lately,
"thib club Is fff tho convenience of

was the reply. "Well, then, I hereby re
quest that h boy be sent out with a shovel
to spado up the holes. I want 'em Bfjuare

In with this thought.

It will bo the last home game for tho
Mackmen until September 1, when "Jack
Barry Day" will bo cetebrated when the
fast-nlug Rod Sox appear here.
Wyckoft's brilliant work in the Clove

Wllllamsport lad has at Inst mastered
control nnd the White 8ox oie extremely
anxious about today's game, nH Boston
refuses to lose and will Increase Its lead
It the Mackmen win today
Manager Ilowland hart Intended to uso
"neb" Itussell In the present series, but
decided to switch to Cicotte. who has
alUAys been effective against tho Mack
men. Itussell Is an In-and-outor nnd
would therefore have lees chance against
Wyckoff than a steady hurler like Cicotte
On the coming trip Manager Mack will
make many experiments nnd all of the
youngsters who have been tinned recently
will be given a chance to show what they
can do. A complete new mitllclil will be
given a chance, while aside from WckolT
It Is not likely that any of tho regular
pitchers will be used.
Yesterday's game was much closer than
any In tho present aeries, but tho White
Sox outplayed the Mackmen Just ns clear
ly. Joe Benz wiib master of the situation
at nil times and there never vnt much
danger of the Mackmen starting n rally.
Tom Slirehnn, Mack's Peoria recruit,
pitched well enough to have uon nine
games out of ten had he been opposed to
another hurler.
PAWLING AGAIN MAY
BE SIDETRACKED AS
EXECUTIVE OF A. A. U.
For Third Time President of
Middle Atlantic Association
of A. A. U. May Be
Disappointed
George F. Pawling, president of the
Middle Atlantic Association of the Ama
teur Athletic Union and vice president of
the nntlonnl body, by all precedent should
be the next leader of the A. A. U. How
ever, it appeal b he U again to bo side
tracked for another, William Humphrey,
president of the Olympic Club, of San
Francisco.
Two years ago Mr Pawling, according
to the opinion of his friends, was about
as poorly treated as n man possibly could
be. He was vlrtuallj promised the
presidential election when the national
officers met But things went awry. ThlB
year he Is apparently uoomca again m
disappointment.
Mr Pawling 1b not going to light This
was all ho had to say when questioned by
an Evening Ledc-er representative:
"So far as my .irsonal Interest Is con
cerned I will not make a howl. I think
Mr Humphreys is an Ideal man for presi
dent, and that Bettles tho matter, so far
as I am concerned "
Mr Pawling may not battle, but hi
friends are certain to take up the gaunt
let To be sidetracked twice Ib more than
many of the locals will bear A concerted
effort In Mr. Pawllng's behalf is sure to
be made.
Secretary F. W Kublen. of the A A.
U . In a signed article sent cast from Son
Francisco, made tho first announcement
of Sir. Humphreys' candidacy. This ar
ticle was printed In jesterday's Kvenino
LEonen. Athletes In tho West have had
more or less .dimculty with the A. A. U.
(or somo years, and It Is believed the
election of Mr. Humphreys will be a great
diplomatic stroke At least that Is the
way It probably appeals to the guiding
lights ot the national organization.

BUT
There Isn't anybody who can beat him.
An one of the wisest ot all sport phil
osophers has put It "Form Is the brief
Interval between getting ready nnd going
stal." Norman Tabor knew that brief
Interval when hy smashed the record
But it was Joe Ilay'a intervnllc due when
he met Tnber on the Coast. Only a
superman like Ted Meredith can extend
that Interval ot top form to almost Infin
ite IcugthB and hold tha field nt bay In

"The Brief Interval"
Ouimet knew that "brief Interval" at
Fkwanok last September Yravera knew
It at Baltusrol this last Juin. Whoto
turn will It be at Detrolt7
McLoughlln had his turn against Wild
ing and Brookes Norrls Williams was
duo at Newport ngalnst McLoughlln
for his brief grip Upon Ills 'best possible
gnmo Top form 1b a matter of nearly
perfect mentnl nnd ph steal co-ordination,
where Brain and Musclo are work
ing In hurmony where one's game al
most takes enro ot Itself without calling
for any extra expenditure of effort. For
the harder one hni to work to achieve his
best, very often the less chanco ho has of
reaching It. '
As Ouimet remniked at Baltuarol:
"Sly game plas Itself; when 1 have to
labor for results they rarely ever come.
When I nm scoring well I am playing
at an easy clip under very llltlu strain."
The Dodger Opening
After n brilliant streak nt home and a
miserable start upon the road, the Dodg
eis nt Inst caught their stride again in
Chicago, mid ore now being pilmed for
another home rally that frothing Brook
ln fans bellevo will be the flag winning
march
The Dodgers upon their last long home
stiy won something like 21 out ot 2s
games Having survived this last road
tour without losing ground to the leaders
another such march would promptly
shove Brooklyn to the front But the
margin built up must be fairly thick, as
Bobby's line-up spends most of Septem
ber on the road, while Pittsburgh will be
shooting from behind, home trenches,
Pittsburgh's Chance
On this basis the National League race
would favor Pittsburgh. Philadelphia
reached the top by a wild daBh back In

Which Is True Enough
Dear Sir: Speaking of the Grahdold
dope, did this ever occur to ouT Last
jeilr Frit j Malsel batted around 23J,
There was tallc, this spring of trading
him to Mack for Baker. It Malsel had
gone to Philadelphia and had batted
over 300 as he has with the Yanks this
season, at least 17 experts would have
given Connie credit for his. big gain In
the third baseman's efficiency. Isn't thla
o' CHOM.
Ten-Cent Baseball
Ten-cent baseball, with a big general
reduction In the prices charged, will bo
an interesting experiment.
But there will have to be a vast read
justment before it can ever work out
along proper lines, There mutt not Only
be a big reduction In the present salaries
paid ballplayers. There must also be a
reduction In other operating expenses.
There is, for one detail, the heavy In
terest or rental upon ball parks. It costs
the Yanks alone something In the neigh
borhood of J700 a day for park rental.
There Is a matter of 700 paid out for each
home game, exclusive of salaries, trans
portation, hotel bills, ground holp and
other details.
It costs a big league club In salaries,
ground rental, and other charges close
upon $225,000 a year to operate. At a
greatly reduced scale In prices only a
heavy averago attendance will pay tho
toll.
But now that the Feds have decided to
take the plunge the experiment should
prove to be ono of tho moat Interesting ot
many yeara.
Tho big Jump the Red Sox were to. ob
tain nt homo above the Tigers failed to
pan out. Jennings propelled his club on
tho road as swiftly ns Carrlgan drovo hi
at home. The American League race
hasn't been closed out after all not no
Detroit can notice It from her present
position. .
