generally In excellent condition and the
Automobile Club of Philadelphia advises
the following as the best route:
From Chestnut Hill on the Uethlehem

SaylorSburg to Delaware Water Gap,
nbiut 85 miles. From the Water Gap,
crossing the Stato line at Tort Jervle,
to Kingston the roads aie In splendid

Is thiough Batatoga Springs, Lake George
and Schroon Lake to Kllznbethtoun, 110
mt'fcs From Ellzabethtoun to Platts

The flrst night's stop might be made
at Jlllfotd, Pa.. Cuddebackvllle, N. Y.,
or Kllenville, N. Y , and the second nt
Albany or Saiatoga Springs. Schroon
Lake or Ellzabethtown would be good
stops for a third night, If Plattsburg Is

thought she was up against far better
players and much surprised to last so
long
"That's Just the trouble," says George
Carrothers. her tutor, "as soon as she
gets It Into her head that she can beat
people, why then she will."
Jo'nn Phillip fiousa l staving at the

Sousa. "What key Is It written In?"
asked the bandmaster In tuin.
.Inck McDermott was playing a match
with the Sayera and Jimmy Qullane nt
Merlon the other day. Holo after hole
was going the other nay, because Jack
was going almost a foot off the line on
most of his putts. He was using an
aluminum putter.
"What've you done wl' th' old Iron
putter, Jack? asked Ben Bayers.
"That's In the shop for repairs," re
plied Jack, seilously, "I'm having It
made Into a shovel, But even at that I
doubt if I will be nble to Use It."
The fairway at Sprlnghaven la like a
beautiful rug these days even closely
knit nnd springy. Thanks to care and the
rains. It has the freshly budded appear
ance of a lawn In the springtime. Many
of the local courses are not so fortunate.
At Bala the greens committee Is wag
ing fierce war with an army of Invading
fall grass. Huntingdon Valley Is very
heavy, though the pretty Inkee and
flooded streams have disappeared.
Last year nt this time the Sprlnghaven
fairway was burned and baked as hard
as a rock.
Charlie lloffner, Woodbury expert,
played over the Seavlew course recently.
He was much alarmed at the savagery of
the mosquitoes which laid in ambush at
every turn, and, In consequence, was much
off his game. When he came in. Mc
Connell. the temporary pro At Seavlew,
thought he spied a new mashie in Hoff

on that. Hoffner generally uses a plain
face, but this mashie had a dotted cor

"It's not a new stick," replied Hoffner.
"A cloud ot mosquitoes attacked me out
there, and when I tried to defend my
self with the mashie the mosquitoes lit

Sheehan Likely to Do Hurling
Against Morton in This
Afternoon's Fray
CLEVELAND, O.. Aug. 21.-The Ath

from Detroit, where thej had a crv dis
astrous series. This afternoon tho Mack

Indians, then make their final swing to
St. Louis.
Manager Lee Fohl Is anxious to hold
his present position, sixth place, at least,
nnd will thcrelore put toiward every ef
fort to defeat the Athletics, who are go
ing even worse than the gave promise of
going when the Clevclandcrs met them In
Philadelphia recently. Naturally, Mnck'H
crowd Is weakened consldcrabl by the
continued absence of Mclnnls and Schang,
although Strunk has been plavlng a Rood
game at first base.
Connie Mack stated this morning that
he would probably use Sheehan In the
nfternoon's fray with the Indians. Cleve
land's pitching selection will not be
known until Just bcfoio tho game, but
the chances nre that Morton will be
used.

Snodgrass, but, of course, there will not

National l.tngtit, race has been exploited
In the Inst fortnight
Some 10 or 12 dnjs ago tho spellbound
populate ot nnch part of It as Inhabited
llag-drinmliig towns wns wondering Just
whHl club among the contenders would
launch the next onslaught and set the
plltn.
There wns rabid discussion as to
whether it ' would be Philadelphia or
Brooklyn, or Boston or Pittsburgh; or
miybe Chicago or New lork. The an
swer came from the most unexpected
houkc In the world. For almost pre
cisely ul that gicn moment the club
which atoso upon Its hind legs and pro
ceeded to do the bulk of the smashing
wax Cincinnati, the one club figured as n
sure tall-ctidcr, the one club regarded .is
the most succulent meat In the dish Iur
th pennant aspirants
It whh none of the lenders, but the
riotplsi-d Beds who suddenly began play
ing fit i and uwny the best ball In the
kugue Fiom a tall-end position they
HUtlduily swung Into u DoO pace, tearing
Hit. evtrlaxtlng heart out of Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia and New York In succession,
with a display of power, speed and hustle
beond any foun shown nil tho year by
any other club not even exceDtlna tho
July rushes of the Dodgers nnd Braves, I
wno won their battles by no such easy
maiglnb.
Popular Win
Not since the das of C3, some 46 cam
paigns ago, when a Redland club crushed
all opposition, has Cincinnati ever figured
extensively In any campaign.
Itedland has never heard the music
produLcd by the flutter of a flag. It may
be this season she will still finish last It
may also be that she will continue her
march and with a long home stretch
In September at least play a leading role
But legardlcds of this, a Redland flag
victory would be fully as popular among
the fan flock at large as the Brave con
quest was a ear ago
There Is nothing the non-combatant
llkts better than to see the under dog
swing back Into the fight and emerge
with a big patch of rival hide between
his teeth
The Red Chance
The Reds, of tourse, are still long
shots. Very few give them even an out
side chance. But what chance was Bos
ton given last summer to overhaul the
Giants and then beat the Mackmen four
straight? About 1 in 4000 Baseball Is,
even upon the nverage, a complex Insti
tution It is beyond any basic dope. This
season Its complexlt has been even
more pronounced than usual And a club
that can play the brand of ball the Reds
PHOSPHORESCENT PHENOMENON
IS EXPLAINED BY SCIENTIST.
S. S. Sadtler, B. S., Makes Clear a Most Puzzling Phys
ical Condition Mariners Often Witness Beautiful
Displays at Night Three Motorboat Meets Today
DRIFTING
Ever drifting, drifting, drifting
On the shifting
Currents of the i.sfess ntniii;
Till in sheltered coies and reaches
Of sandy beaches.
All have found tcpose again.
A scientific exposition of phosphorescent
phenomenon makes very Interesting read
ing. There Is hardly a person who has
been near xvater, or In the woods, for that
matter, who has not witnessed some won
derful displays of nature's mood In this
respect.
Motorboat nr-n, oarsmen and pilots or
the great steamships, men who are ac
customed to wonderful marine sights,
have marveled. At times the ostentatious
show of phosphor has been greater than
at others. Children nnd even grown
ups are sometimes puzzled, and It Is for
their benefit that an explanation by a
great aclentlst Is offered. There Is ever
ready the layman's answer for the phe
nomena of light ns the vessel kicks up
the water astern. "That? Why, that's
phophorus," To further attempt to ex
plain nature's fretful show of temper
Is a horse of another color The familiar
term phosphorus Is so generally under
stood os Implying some sort of a light
disturbance In the water that no other ex
planation Is deemed necessary. Phosphor
is phosphor, so there!
Very few persons can give a clear and
concise explanation of the phenomenon.
Some would call It "Jelly fish reflecting
moonlight," while again some others
say "I think It comes from some sort
of a reflection of light," and let It go
at that. Other answers might be, "It Is
due to various causes," "Decaying wood"
and "Slow piocess of oxidation," Some
of these answers are perfectly true.
Bamuel 8, Sadtler, S. B., of Chestnut
Hill, a noted scientist and a member of
many American institutes of physical re
search, writes at some length about the
wonders of phosphor.
"Interesting phenomena connected with
light," writes Professor Sadtler, "are
those Included under phosphorescence,
Somo mineral substances show a lumi
nosity called phosphorescence after expo

ultra-violet rays. This Is true of barium,
platlno-cyanote, calcium tungstate, cal

At least there are several club who fall

Another Scrap
The Natlanat Leaguo apparently won't
stage the only hard, close) finish after all,
The flag-winning canter predicted for
the lied Sox somo weeks ago Is no longer
on the board. Jennings has thrown his
club forward at full speed for the) last
three weeks, and with Dill James, ol
the Drowns, linked to 111 pitching start
the Tigers nro now In position to gtv
their main rivals nn even battle down
through the dusty September stretch,
James will add power to the Tiger
pitching defense In more ways than one.
He Bhould be a factor upon his own
worth And beyond t'nis he will glv
Dnuss, Covelcsklo and Dubuc a better
chance to ease up in work, and thereby
Increase their own effectiveness.
Jennings has ft club that carries tne
wallop. He doesn't require any airtight
pitching to win the bulk of hie games.
A fair display of stufT, backed op by
the heavy artillery of Cobb, Crawford
S. Co., will generally bag the kale.
Detroit spends most of September ort
the road, with Boston at home. But If
tho Tigers can gather In a fairly safe
lead while at home the next two weeks It
will be up to Carrlgan'a club in the East
to hold them In check, as no KTcat aid
can be expected from New York and
Phlladelp'rtla-and not much more from
Wnshlncton Jennings has said for some
time that if he could land one more first
c'nss pltcHer he would win. He has the
man he wants In James If the x
Brownie works as he Is figured to work.

chance to pose as a prophet walking the
narrow highway of Truth.
Maxims of the 19th Hole
There are those, my on, who- shall
seek to Instruct you In 10.WO complexities
of golf.
And yet Its complexities are but two In
number, and these ae the soul of
slmpleness, being only a rhythm of swlhg
nnd the power to hold one's head still
while making the stroke. For therein Is
built up the proper timing, which Is the
soul of the game.

rays such as ultra-violet or' those evolved
from radium.
"It Is supposed that the violet and
ultra-violet rays cause a condition of
stress In th aubstance which causes it
to give off light for a while in the dark.
Fireflies nnd minute organisms In decay
ing wood seem to generate light In much
the same manner thnt food energy Is con
verted Into heat energy in higher animal
life. Some bacteria or protozoa In the
water have this effect, especially when
the water Is agitated, as when a person
swims In the water and air la introduced,
''This effect is noticeable to best ad
vantage in September, and if one swims
or the water is splashed at night the
effect Is quite beautiful "
A Jelly substance, resembling the body
of the sea nettle, or oval shape, but
without the stinging tentacles, gives off
light at night, and is found In Bait wa
ters. On the Chesapeake these little
bodies float ashore by the millions. Their
presence is a common eight on bay
waters.

Colonel George S. Zlnn, of the United
State, engineering Department, has been
ordered to make a preliminary survey of
the river between Trenton, Kaston and
Ihllllpsburg, with the idea of building a
canal between these points with a 12
foot channel Ills report will be of great
Interest to the members of the Phila

Immediately concerned, The Boards of
Trade of Trenton and Hasten have been
urging Congress to make an appropria
