Back in the old days this sort of scoring wasn't even thought of, It has only been made possible by the advent of the modern golf ball.

With their light covera these rubber-core balls are so much more lively than the old ones that then can be driven probably fitty yards further.

The advent of the modern ball had its many funny incidents. | There was the case of Isaac Mackie, for instance, The big Scotchman was rofessional at the Fox Hills club at |The time when the new spheres first | came into vogue, A salesman brought a few of the new lively balls over to Mackie for a try-out, and Isaac, after listening to wonderful reports how far they would travel, decided to Charley "Young" Weinert, the Newark bears weight who recently Won a newspaper decialon ‘over Gunboat Saith in « ten-round battle at bb bets Wield, hae beeu engaged for another bout, Mis opponent will be Jim Savage, the rejuvenated heavyweight and former sparring partner of Joss ‘Willard, the world’s champion, The managers of the meo met last might and accepted terms for & ten-round battle to be fought at Madison Square Garden on the wight of July 23, Tom Cowier, Jim Corbett's new fighter, was offered the bout with Weinert, but Corbett passed it up, \ and well known to the correspondent. ne“ahcave give ue a run for 4 fuat it.

Mackie, who is a prodigious driver, ball began sending off the new and they started to fall all around the unseen Mitchell. In sur- prise he raced up the hill to see where they were coming from and to his amazement nobody was in sight except Mackie on the distant tee. Mitchell scurried back and staked out the spot where one of Mackie's drives hit. Measurements were taken and it was discovered that the big Scot had walloped nearly 280 yards, a distance he never had approached with the old #0! Mackie predicted then that courges would have to be rearranged becau: of the newer ball, and about all o them have been altered.

HE Cubs, still leaders, but de- I cidedly unsure of their footing, | are at the Polo Grounds this afternoon to avenge what will always be to Roger Bresnahan the “Brook- lyn Massacre.” It has been many, many years since Chicago took a drubbing like that—five straight games—but as yet Roger fails to see Just what can be done about it. ‘With the pennant ladder slipping from un- der their claws, one inch at a time, the aspiring and perspiring Cubs feel By Bozeman Bulger. like a poker player watching a big! stack of velvet melting away to one thin, white chip. They are now just two games ahead of the Dodgers, And but for the double victory of the Pirates over the Phillies would have been in second place this morning. “I don't know of any way that I can explain the awful mauling we got at the hands of Brooklyn,” said Bresnahan last night. “Except that Robbie has got those fellows to play- ing real baseball, and they have gone crasy, that's all.” And, to make matters worse, the Cubs are coming in on the Giants just when they are beginning to pound the ball. If McGraw can only give Robbie a little help by grabbing the big end of this series the Dodgers have an excellent chance of being in the lead before the end of the week. The Cubs have five games to play between now and Frid: night and the Reds have the same number to feed that awful craving over in Brooklyn. All of which is hailed with great lee by the magnates now in New ‘ork. It is the closest race the Na- tional League has had in years, and the way things are going now tl case-hardened cry of “hard time: will quickly disappear. The spurt of the Giants, in which | they took three straight from the Reds, was suddenly stopped by a young man named Dale. Coming out of the West with a lot of ambish and a@ bop on his fast one, this young gent sat the heavy hitting Giants down with a thump. It was a clean shutout, and even the old Nemesis of the Reds, Christy Mathewson, could not stand in his way. Ordinarily Matty could beat the Reds by tossing love in the arena, but even at the sale of his career the Old Marster couldn't win without a few runs be- hind him. These were not furnished esterday. Even with a no hit game be could not have won. ‘The magnates, who are in town for an informal discussion of league mat- ters, say that there are no financial difficulties in the | ue, despite a 20 er cent. falling off in attendance, ‘one of the clubs is in straits, They say that the twenty-one player limit rule has saved the league thousands of dollars, and would save even more it it were only enforced, It was changed at the meeting that a few of the clubs have been putting twenty- one names on the scorecards, show- ing the limit, and at the same time they were carrying from three to eix extra men on the bench, It was a tough day for leaders all around.

Jack Murray got a real chance with the Cubs as a pinch hitter against the Dodgers and promptly ; responded with a clean wallop. A few minutes later he went to the outfield and made one of those cir- cus catches for which he is famous, Charlie Herzog evidently believes that Kodgers, his young pinch hitter, is just about ready for regular duty. He took the place of Tommy Leach, the veteran, In centre field yesterday and came through flying. Throughout the West the intere: is now centred in the coming battle | between the White Sox and the Red Sox, and the indications are that they | will’ be close enough together when the trouble starts for the leadership to hang in the balance. In the mean time we shouldn't for- wet that the Yanks are batting their way through the West, still keeping a toehold on the first division. Peck- inpaugh's hitting pulled them through yesterday. In addition to other mei torious deeds Peck, é&c., helped hii self to a two-bagger, a three-bagger and three runs, Even with Walter Johnson going good the Senators appear to have been hit by a charge of shrapnel. In- stead of being contenders, as was ex- pected, it begins to look as if Grift was going to have a tough time es- caping the cellar. Larry Doyle “mnissed getting his daily hit yesterday, but the defection was made up by Burns, who tapped the otherwise invincible Dale for two singles and a three-sacker. It can be said on reliable authority that the National League magnates have decided to stick by every one of their long term contracts even if the players holding them have to sit*on the bench for the rest of the time, It had been reported that a test sult would be had to see if these contracts would hold, but this will not be done, The Federal League got its worst blow Sunday when oy than 1,600 people paid to see the game at Har- rison, N, J.

LAPPER BILL, tife English two- year-old recently purchased by Harry Payne Whitney for $12,- 000, has arrived in this country and is at Belmont Park to-day. He will be raced here as soon as Trainer Jimmy Rowe finds out just how good’ he is. Clapper Bill comes here with @ great reputation. He has been re rded abroad as one of the best two- year-olds ever seen there and has won many races under big weight. He is unusually big, and unless he falls far below what has been sald of him, should beat most of the stars of his age on this side of the Atlantic. It is sald that Mr. Whitney has been, offered a big advance on the price he paid for Clapper Bill, but Mr. Whit- ney isn't selling anything that he buys, particularly if it looks like good. material. John Madden says Hendrie, the Star Shoot colt which ran second to Mala- chite in the last race yesterday, is a real good one, for which he will take only @ fancy price. Hendrie has looks to recommend him, but he was no match for Malachite yesterday at least. With somebody else but Brady in the saddle, seodge may race home suddenly one of theé days like Sprint dic recently. Clarence Turner, the Belmont Jockey, had to lay off yesterday be- cause of a “busted hand.” Turner doesn’t begin to know as much about playing baseball as he does about riding thoroughbreds, Dave Leary'’s Saratoga wasn’t the best kind of a 7 to 10 favorite. Bux- ton had to whip him all the way from the stretch turn home, and left handed at that, to get him away from Ella Bryson, Saratoga either likes Ella Bryson’s company or sho made him etep faster than he cared!) to for six furlongs. Gifford Cochran's Pleione is one of the mest fillies of the Out- run by Lorac for four and a half fur- fonwk she responded: to McCahey’s vigor whipping and got up on the last stride. This was an expensivo victory for Mr, Cochran. It meant the entertainment of the nineteen subscribers to the race at a Waldorf- Astoria spread.

This is the last day at Aqueduct. The meeting at the Zypules track has been very successful and well at- tended every day.
