On the greens the bovs lit matches so the players could pee the hole, "That Rot me thlnlslnp, and since then I have evolved a new ball that will be Il luminated for night play. Over In England nd Scotland they have twilight which lasts up to 9 o'clock. The business man can get home, eat his dinner and get a round of golf before dark. Such a thing In this country I, impossible except for a week or so In "This new ball of mine, which will shortly be patented, will have a small electric light bulb of very tough glass to protect It. Thsre will be Inside of It one of the minia ture batteries, and the whole business can b Inclosed In the ball. Over this will be a cover of resilient rubber punctured with tiny holes. This cover Is In halves with a ecrew thread. All the golfer has to do Is tc start the bulb going, put the cover on and tee up the ball. It will be an easy matter to follow the ball In Its flight, for It will twinkle like a star. The hattery will last five hours nnd new batteries can bo had for about a nickel. The battery will run for (le hours, and this Is really moro than tho jolfer needs. Fireflies Get Seasick "Yes, I have tried fireflies and phos phorescent paint and a lot of other Il luminating things, but they do not work out to your satisfaction. I spent two hours Me night catching fireflies. I put ten of them Inside this patent cover nnd on tho tee It worker! nne. Hut the trouble with a firefly Is that It will not work when you want It to. Half of the crowd were work ing and the other half were not. Sometimes the whole crowd were on the Job and then the ball was lighted up fine. "But the first time tho ball was hit showed that the scheme was worthless. The firefly Is a very sensitive Insect. It Is not used to be driven through the nlr for 200 yarfls. It makes It seasick. The result was that all of them struck and that ended the experiment. You havo a wrong Impres llon of Sir Walter. Ho Introduced tooacco Into England, not hops. A pipe dream? Not a bit of It. Just wait until this new ball of mine Is on the market. "It 1 going to revolutionize golf.

Wo havo never seen either the Mayor or the It. of T. play golf, but we have wit nessed the golf of Bill Wilson, the Director of Public .Safety, nnd we think It Is a safe bet to say that he can beat either of them and in a pinch play their best ball and get away with it. There was a time when District Attorney Itotan played a very good game of golf, but In his office In the Liberty Building there Is a golfer who can take Mr. Itotan out and trim him without much effort. His name is Joseph A. McKeon, and a, few days ago he played over the Seavlew course for the second time and registered an 8G and an 83.

MAXWELL JPHIKMES' BALL PARK, Aug. 2B. nlllle Klllefer, our demon bnckstopper, pinned the double cross on the mnnly chests of the Cincinnati Reds this nfternoon nnd won tho first act of a double-header for the home folks. Willie was selected to plav the part of goat In the tenth Inning, but te fused to Impersonate such an animal. With tho bases full our Willie laid down a beau tiful bunt nnd beat It to first. While he was doing this Dugey, who ran for Luderus, came home nnd the gamo was over. Tho final score wns 4 to 3 Cravath opened the tenth with a single, but was forced by Ludy. Whltted doubled to center and Captain Fred reached third. Niehoff was passed Intentionally and the bases were clogged Then up stepped Willie. Tho Infield played close, the outfield crept up nnd Toney was ready to slay tho victim. Pat Moran made a quick change, sub stituting Dugey for Luderus on third nnd tho game proceeded On tho first ball pitched Klllefer bunted down the third-base line. The ball rolled toward the bag, zlgzagffd toward the foul line, nnd Groh allowed It to roll, thinking It would go oer the foul line. It didn't, nnd the frame was over. Frank Schulte saed the day In the ninth wncn lie stcppeil up to tho bat for Alex andcr Niehoff had opened tho Inning with a single nnd trnxcled to second on Klllofer's sacrifice. Schulte replaced Alexander and hit the first pitched ball fnr Into rlgrrt It had all tho earmarks of a homer, and the crowd Jumped to Its feet wild with excite, ment. but sat down In their seats with a groan when the ball went foul by a foot. This did not bother Schulto to any great ex tent, for he pickled a single down the first base line, which sent Niehoff home with the tying score Mayer pitched the tenth Inning nnd re ceives credit for the victory. With l,nno sweltering fans looking on, the Phils proceeded to tnke a fall out of Dig Fred Toney In the opening tilt of the double-header Big Fred got by beautifully In the first chapter, but In the second Nie hoff splashed n double against the right field wall and sent Whltted home with the first score of the game Alexander had been laboring masterfully, and although there were men on base In the first frame, nothing came of It. Alex ruined Groh's hitting streak when the latter filed to Paskert In the third. Tho Cincinnati third baseman had hit safely seven con secutive times. The Phils opened up on Toney In the second. After Crasath had hit the ball two miles a mile tip and a mile down nnd It stuck In Grlflith's glove. Ludy bungled a blnglo to center Whltted bumped a hard grounder to Chase nnd Captain Fred, not having a taxlcab about his person, was forced at second by a couple of blocks. Gawge swiped second nnd when the dust settled It was discovered that Niehoff was nt the plate. Bert walloped tho pill on the beak and It bounced off the right field wall for n double, sending Whltted homo with tho first tally of the combat. In the third Gawgo counted ngaln. He singled to center, reached second on Kopf's error and scored when Fred Toney trljd to catch Chase's bum throw with his feet In stead of his hands It was a Rwell stunt to pull on the football field, but out of place on the diamond. With two runs to the good and Alex twirling In his best style, tho 19,000 cash customers were enjoying a pleasant after noon. The sixth Inning dawned dry and hot and Toney hit a feeble grounder to Alex. Fred perished. Groh walked, but was forced by Kopf Emslle called the short stop safe and ruined a perfectly good double play and It looked as If old Bob had pulled a boner Rousch singled and Hal Chase came through with his home run swat which bounced Into the left-field bleachers and put tho enemy one run to the good Pat's pets had a chance to score in the seventh when Alex and Paskert singled nfter two were out and Bancroft clogged the paths on Shcan's error. Milt Stock could not deliver in a pinch, however, and was thrown out at first. Gawy leaned against a twister and sent It toward the left-field bleachers, but Greasy Neale backed up against tho wall nnd caught It before It sailed Into the crowd for a homer.
