Connie Is weak in the pitching depaitment, nnd It Is believed that, with u couple of good hurlcrs to ntiRinent his staff next year, tho pennant race will not be so onesided. At present Nojes. Mjcrs nnd Schaucr are his best bets, with Joe Bush on tho sick list nnd Johnson and Selbold still learning. TRA seepis to have tho inside track out on tho coast.

Mrs. Jacob Dlsston has recently given a cup In memory of Mis. Humm, u cousin, to tho Whltemarsh Valley Country Club. This la one of the most expensive cups over contested for In this city. Still an other will bo given by nomo of tho friends of Mrs. Henry P. Dixon, for many years president of the Women's Golf Association of Philadelphia. Just what foini this new cup will take has not et been determined The chief cup of n memorial natuie that tho men play for Is the Joseph Henry Patterson Cup, which has been plavcd for for tho last fifteen years Mr Patterson was a member of the Philadelphia Cricket Club and this cup' Is a. trlbuto to him. It is always ptaved for on Memorial Day, and, like the Karnum Cup, it is also plajcd for at medal play at thlity-sW holes.

Tljnn made such a fin Job of the work last year when tho national amateur cham pionship was ptaed at Merlon that grass- keepers and chairmen ot green """":"n' from all over the country ran over to Mer on after tho tournament to see what ho had dono. Ko Is on expert or. soil conditions. 11. a criiotslnir and whon ho docs something ho Is as suro of results as houan be. It takes ncrvo to transplant two greens n month or two before a national champion i,hlp. but that Is what he did and when the championship came along no one could nave told Just where the sod had knitted. Ho took turf right out of the rough and trans planted It on a putting green and got iery flno results Greens Arc Burning Out Just at this time of tho year nearly every golf course Is bothered with Its greens No matter how much care Is taken with them, - ii,... H, o c-reen crass il sappoars and In Its place are those great brown ..r.Ms. Arnnimink had Us first big tourna ment a few weeks ago and half tho greens I on the coutso were inirneu out m.-.i camo time to plav tho tournament. One of the reasons assigned tvns that too'mucli humus was put on them Then followed haul lalnstoims and on top of them blls leiing heat. The theory advanced was that the humus, whose chief property Is creating heat, steamed up the ground to such an extent that all tho grass was killed Klvnn dots not believe that this has any thing to do with It and In a talk with htm at the Mellon Ciliket Club tho other day he had this to say. "I have lead a lot about greens burning out in spots and there have been a number of teasons assigned to cover tins comiiiiou. but as yet I havo not seen a correct diag nosis of this condition After a lot of tilals and tribulations and sitting up nights tiy ing to figure out what wis wrong, wo dis covered by the aid of the Agilciilturnl De piitment at Washington that these spots are caused by a fungus condition of tho turf. Bordeaux Mixture the Cure 'The hot humid weather tends to make the fungus battel la active nnd they statt right in to do things up in own, especially the turf Now we have found that to cor icct and arrest this condition one-half stiength Hordcaux mlxtuie Is effective when about flftv gallons ale spiajcd on a green. "A one-half stiength Hoideaux mlxtuio Is made by diluting two nnd a halt pounds of copper sulphate In hot water, diluting two and a half pounds of iiuickllmo In water and then mixing both together In a fifty-gallon barrel or water After spray ing' on the green the gtcen should be watered slightly to offset any bum that may occur. Po not watei gteen too heavily, however, as this will weaken the solution" And that is the way that Vl.vnn woiks. If ho does not know how to el'mlnate a pest, or If ho is unteitaln nbout anything else, he gets In touch with the experts In the Agricultural Department. Ho reduces gueses to a certalntv. and that Is where he saves tlnio nnd money on tho numerous pioblems that bother any one who has to do with tho upkeep of the course. We hear a lot about the advantage of a pulled ball Hut when jou get tight down to biass-tacks the chap that hits a Mialght ball down the center of tho alley has It all over tho other fellow who pulls and hooks A Blanco at the description of tho final match between Horfner nnd Dewees will show that most of Hoffner's tee shots vvcr badly pulled nnd In several cases tho ball landed In traps Out of seven holes in which he pulled his tee shot he lost six and won but one It is not always th fellow with the pull who wins, ( Hob Hoffner Another Surprise The other sensation nt the tournament was nung Hob Hoffner, the youngest of the three golfing brothers Hoffner Is plny- .ng nt .Secane and probably for 11,, -time tho golfers of Philadelphia V111 ,flr,t that there Is a club there. 1? 1, "", Ijm tlvc nine-hole course, but as 11 2, ,'ra,l"i fact Hoffner has been playing "ift t I- n r.. .
