Every sport thrives on uncertainty. It everything was always cut and dried, if the unexpected never hap-| pened, sports would soon lose popular favor. ¢« Golf will always be an interesting sport because of the great uncertainty of the game. Golf champions just get | acquainted with their title when they ' are dropped into the discard. The making of a new champion always adds a new flavor to the game. Take for instance the recent win- ning of the national open champion- ship by Bobby Jones of Atlanta. If Gene Sarazen had repeated, the event would have added no enthusiasm tor| the game. Instead, the winming of the | title by Bobby Jones, after he had | time and again seemed certain to go over, was a great thing for the royal and ancient pastime. In tennis for a half dozen years a very few players have monopolized the field, to a certain extent killing in- terest. Bill Tilden and Bill Johnston have had a decided edge in the mas- culine end of the game, while Mrs. Mallory has been even more dominant among the women players - of the United States. The recent defeat of Mrs. Mallory by Miss Wills, the 17-year-old school- girl wonder from California, is the finest thing that could have happened to the tennis game. The triumph of Miss Wills, & cglorful miss who has been coming fast for two or three years, will tend to stimulate interest in ‘tennis, particularly among the women players, The unexpected defeat of Mrs. Mallory simply proves that no player in any sport, however great, is invincible. Baseball thrives on uncertainty. That is why for six months it can daily draw big crowds. Championship fights at stated intervals go big. In the fall, important football games played once a week, draw out the sport lovers. . The big tournaments in golf always excite the populace. But after all no sport has the direct appeal of baseball, because no other sport is played every day for six months. The Mohawks of Meridy, who claim the city title there, ¢ clamor- ing for a series with the Pirates of this city who, the Silver City boys think, are the champions here. In that belief however, they are, in error as much as was Manager Billy March for the Pirates are not the champs yet. The league has refused to allow them to claim the title on a forfeit and have ordered the final game with Tafnirs played. However, that detracts nothing from_the interest in a possible Meri- den-New Britain series. Luque won his 21st victory of the season yesterday when he held Bos- ton to three hits and enabled his teammates to win 4-1. The Giants were helpless before the curves of the great Alexander yes- terday and th master pitcher of the National league held them to five scattered hits while the 'Pittsburgh boys landed on McQuillan for four runs. . Now the Giants have but three games to the good—ith the Reds going like a house afire. A three run rally in the ninth en- abled Washington to beat Detroit 10-9. Mrs. Mallory has advanced to the fourth round at the Rockaway Hunt club tennis tourney. At Eastern Point, Miss Collett yesterday won her first round, defeat- ing Miss Hurd, 4 up and 2 to play. g Georges Barbot (inse motorless glider.

A G\seamoh Reonowneed O GINGER ALE For Quick Retwrns Use Herald Classified Advts, urivers— and pedestrian: N0 By THE VETERAN MOTORIST SUPPOSE it's because I've driven around so much in the last fifteen years that I've seen about twice as many accidents as the average motorist. Can’t begin to remember them all, but I know a lot were connected with passing trolleys. One special reason for this lies in the different rules and regula- tions that prevail in different localities. In some places you may not pass a standing trolley at all, and there the pedestrian cross- ing the street should be perfectly safe from automobiles, so long as the trolley remains standing. In other places motors may pass a standing trolley “with due care” or “not less than” six or eight feet away; in these cases both driver and pedestrian ought to watch their going mighty carefully. My best advice is to keep up to date on your ownr local rules about passing trolleys, etc., and follow them scrupulously. When you are away from home, and may not know all the local provisions, abide by the strictest rules for safety that you do know:.
