Although there is endless discussion on this grow- ing menace to public safety nothing has been done to rectify the danger. In the city the necessery authority exists to compel merchants to equip commercial machines for local use with safety devices, and I believe that such action should be taken before the occurrence of another serious acckient The emergency wagons of the New York Raliroad Company have been fitted with safety appliances which have proved how practical this sort of equipment is. Because of its ingenious ar- Tangement it is practically impossible for pedestrians to be seriously in- ured by any machine guarded with this safety equipment.

Paragraph—HE KEEPS HIS EYE ON THE BALL, Many a bold Jad has set out to take this man's measure, and might havo come nearer to it if he had kept in mind the golden maxim that appli to all the affairs of life as well as to golf—keep your eye on the ball, Not once in all the round did C, F. Murphy fail in this. He has the art, or science, or gift of concentration in the highevt degree. NO FUS8 AND FEATHERS AND NO PIQUE. His second shot was not so good, for the ball skewed away to the right as if it had been hit off the toe of the! yy. club, a failing frequent in players of full ‘proportions, Not that it both. ered him in the least; he waited while his guest took a long swipe toward the flag, then walked without hurry to his shot—and plumped a beauty up on the nutting green. Again that tolal absence of fuss and feathers. He is ike the able Duncan in his utter ab- sence of hesitation. On the putting green he was fur- thest from the hole, so he took his faithful putter in hand, drew it froin the bag, meanwhile studying the lie of the ball and the roll of the ground, It was all well in mind when he came up to the ball, stepped wide and at once settled down to his work. For all the apparent carelessness the ball scudded straight across the rather wiry grass, skimmed the edge of the cup and rested six inches beyond the hole. Which meant—that the man was accurate in his measurment of the distance and the roll of the green; algo that he was bold in taking a hard enough sweep at the ball to bring it well up. Heaven deliver us from the ow who means well but in alway: y." ‘This man was al- most always “up’-—a good tralt off as well as on the links. Mr. Murphy happened to win the first hole, No gloating. “You'll settle down in a few holes,” he said reassuringly. The visitor did And the host's cordial prophecy played its part in steadying him, He is a comfortable partner; the sort who walks and plays briskly, yet seems to be merely jogging along at ease. There is a lot of power in his stroke. He is an old baliplayer, and when hits the ball on the nose it files far. Nevertheless I managed, after o short drive to lay my second dead to the cup on the Sahara, or second hole, and so got down for a three-—-one un- der par. He tried to sink his thint from away off the green, It was the only fighting chance in sight, and he took it. “Well,” he said, as he atood up and wat the bal! scamper past the hole, “no one can expect to beat a fel- low who works a miracle on him.” DEADLY PUTTING AND STILL NO GLOATING, Good philosophy, though few ama- teurs have the knack of living up to it, Mr, Murphy was as placid as ever at the third tee, and he won. the fourth, the Redan, a fac-simile of a famous foreign hole, in a par three, It was bis deadly putting that did it. And he was modest about it LY BUT WITH CARE.

I could swear the ball had an impudent grin on its smug face. They always fave when they lie like that. Mr. Murphy stepped down to it with his niblick, studied the problem awhile, then made a noble try, The ball caught in a fringe of grass roots that hung over the edge of the trap, matted and dense as @ sea-king’® whiskers, and rolled provokingly into the sand. said Mr. Murphy, with a broad grin, “I've known men to get stuck In here so badly that they had to invent new curses to do themselves justice, But that doesn't get you any- where, It’s like looking for vindica- tion.” Observe the wisdom of the man. He talked philosophy to calm himself, just as another golfer I know quotes Marcus Aurelius when he is badly bunkered, With the ald of a little moralizing he was able to put his energy unhampered by anger into the next shot, and he had the satisfaction of seeing the obstinate ball go sailing high out of the pit and on to the fair green, And the fact that he had wasted only one shot In the bunker won the hole for him; since his ad- versary got overconfident, splashed about and played criss-cross on the t's dangerous to think you have a sure win, It's bet- ter to be careful and do your beet all the time. Then you have nothing to feel bad about if you lose,” Which applies to more things than if, 0 WHY HE LIKES A DIFFICULT COURSE. It was an odd experience to find this man, who, according to the car- tooniste, is a stony aphinx (when he isn't worse), so human and so full of the real golfing opirit, He is never effusive. It is impossible to imagine him wringing any one’s hand or pounding him on the And yot he ts keen in his appreciation i the points of the game, W. ujby Peconic Bay—a tormenting plac and added uP the scores, Each had taken more tha. y other day and made it in 8! what of it?

This ia a 160-yard hole, with the green on embankment washed on three a! to drive at. Each played the shot rather hard and ran past the hole up to the top of the slanting green. T was thirty-odd feet from the hole; tried to lay the ball dead for a sure four, and had the great joy of seeing it sink In the cup for a three. Loud cheers (purely mental, of course). TALKS TO THE BALL AND IT DOES WHAT iT'8 TOLD. Mr. Murphy took a long and survey of the line between hia ball and the hole, Then he balanced him- toward the cup. “Careful, now, you'll fail in there. And sure eno! into the hole, that?” he asked innocently, But let bis modesty deceive no one, He tried his utmost, and holing the putt was ent. It takes as much pure, “ ® to make such a af such a time as it emo straight when another fellow is shoot- ing bullets at you, All golfers know at There could be no question that the hard won three on the thirteenth set him up in spirits, He went through the remaining six holes like a ‘travers, and again finished three up on the nine, His total score was a Uttle over 100, om the course 6,324 yards long, designed by experts to be the most thorough teat of golf in America, with every hole @ duplicate of some trying and notable hole in Scotland or England. “Ud rather struggle with the dim- culties here," he said, as we sat at ei on the “nineteenth green,” dis- cussing golf and soda, “than play a picnic game on the easy ccurses.

By John J. McGraw, Manager ef the Gianta ‘ EFORE taking up the week's events in my own league, I want to give my opinion on a matter connected with the rival camp that has caused much comment and discussion in both big leagues during the past week. Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, is a gentleman and a sportsman. There is not a chance that he would stand for aay signal stealing with artifi- cial aide. The assertion, or the rumor, or whatever you want to call it, going the rounds of the two big shows that the White Sox have their park rigged with apparatus to help the batter is foolish, for this would be torn down instantly if “Commy” knew anything about it. And it couldn't be working long without his knowing about it, for he is always on the job. All ballplayers are alibi experts at heart. I wae one when with the old Baltimore Orioles. A guy never eays that he fen't hitting becaues he can’t hit. I'll lay a wager there isn’t man In the big leagues to-day who would not be well above the .300 mark if he got any shade of the breaks at all. My baliplayers and those on rival teams say to me over and over: “That Cobb is a luoky atiff. Things break for him. If I had bis luck, = would bat .700. You can see I'm busting them all on the nose, but right at some putfielder all the time or some infielder. I've beeh thrown out a step e@ome lucky stiff who would have been shot full of horseshoes to get his hands on the ball at all.” I bawled out my players for pulling) to another, and he is also shrewd and this alibi stuff the other day. quick.
