In reconcilng these apparently inconsist-
ent facts, ho says. Is rotation of the ball,
TO which wa are, In fact, compelled 10
have recourse. When we fasten one end of
long UNFINISHED tape to the ball and the
other 10 the ground and then induce q
good player TO drive the ball (perpendicu-
larly to the tape) into stiif clay face a
yard or two of, we find that tho tape is
always twisted In such way as TO show
under spin, and proving that the ball takes
from one TO three turns In six feet.
In this connection Ii is interesting to
note that 210 years ago Newton, speaking
of tennis ball--and the remark is equally
applicable 90 golf ball-says, "a circular
as well rs progressive motion being COM
municated 10 IL by that stroke its parts,
on that side whero the motions oonspire,
must press and beat tho contiguous air
more violently than on the other and there
excite a reluctanoy and reaction Of the air
proportionally groator."
Mr.. Whigham, the amateur champion Of
America at present, has played golf since
childhood His whole body goes into his
swing He is not very large. He does
not even appear particularly athletic, and
his hands arc small and entirely undisig
ured by any blsters or marks whatsoever,
, and yet whom he hits the ball he and his
club become one machine, 1.-the, elastic,
but Of the quality of steel. Thu most re-
markable thing he does Is to approach his
brassy shots through the green. Every
golfer knows that in playing n moderately
long hole soy ono of $50 yards, success
ful drive of l75 yards, IL properly played,
with the advantage Of good lie, would be
followed by brassy shot OF, say, 100 yards,
within short approach shot of the hole,
and that then good push would make the
hole in a. Mr.. Whipham's habit Is To fol-
low his drives of l75 yards with n brassy
shot (he often, indeed, uses his driver
through tho greon) OF another 10 yards,
approximately, which be directs with such
marvellous accuracy that IL falls dead to
the hole, and no puts 1t In In 3. He thus
saves his approach shot. This approach
ing shot Of over 40 yards he has been
seen TO do over and over again, and IL Is
safe to assert that no other amateur can do
it as he does.

SOME GOLF THEORIES.
Curiositles In the Matter Of the
Development OF Clubs.

In playing golf much depends upon the
club. Many experts have peculiar clubs,
presumably adapted TO their individual
peculiarities, but there are general types
recognized by the bost players as most suit
able for certain purposes The club which
seems to be coming greatly into vogue az
present Is the goose Decked putter, based
ON tho original instrument patented by
william Park. Its main advantage seems
TO lie In the fact that man who puts of
the right leg can stand more over his ball,
thereby getting better control over it and
ut the same time better sense OF direction.
The special bap made by Morris and
which IL q recent importation to this coun-
try exemplifes in Its style what may be
termed the extreme limit In the direction
set by tho modern type Of wooden clubs.
The appearance of the outline Of the head
regarded from above or below Is almost
circular, the head having breadth equal
to IL not greater than It's length, Its diam
eter being II anything, more than y
inches. The latest club which has been
brought over and one which seems about
to become recognized adjunct TO COM
plete gollng outfit Is the Taylor mashie,
80 named after Taylor, tho English crack,
with whom the design originated, and who
Is noted for the deadliness of his execution
whom he has this club In hand. The club
Is intended to be used for approaching or
playing out Of difficult or deep lies occur
ring at any point of the game. Its most
striking characteristic is its weight. The
result attained by this club Is caused rath-
er by the momentum Of the head itself
than by the muscular sweep upon which
tho lighter clubs depend.
An English scientist advances some
plausible theories. He says that II golf
balls and golf clubs were perfectly hard
that IL, not deformablo-the details Of the
effect of n drive would be comparatively
simple, but as every golfer knows, in
good drives ball viii often leave an i'm
preston on leather face as large as q
shilling, and 1t Is the size Of this distor-
tion that makes the explanation complex
mathematical problem. The average force
exerted Is about three tons weight. After q
long technical explanation the scientist ar
rives at the conclusion that there Is some
thing else besides mere speed and elevation
required II all the ordinary facts of long
driving are 70 be simultaneously account
ed for. The sole additional consideration

HOW CHAINS GROW LONG
Some Interesting Experiments Made
al Cornell University.

Cornell university comes 90 the from.
with additioDll arguments In favor Of the
,ohainless wheel. Tests made Mt the insti-
tuition relative to the friction In bicycle
chains reveal the fact that with the length
ening of chains, caused by wear, friction
increases very rapidly. A new chain of
the most approved pattern showed about "a
half OF / per cent friction, while chain
which had heightened SO that u was neces-
sary TO move link had an efficiency OF
about GO per cent, showing loss Of power
of about 40 per cent.
A new style Of racing bicycle enables
the rider TO assume u position similar TO
that OF swimming, giving the leg muscles
full play, SD that they may be exercised to
their greatest strength. This gives the
same strength as Is used In rowing a boat,
and, besides, the position of the body offers
no wind resistance This position Of lying
fat on the stomach may seom hard one
to acquire, but Is soon found an easy one
for short distances. Tho leather hammock
on which the rider lies keeps him in per-
pendioular position as regards the pedals
and the handle bars being brought low
down Just in front Of the front fork gives
q bracing power which the old position
never gave.
Bicycle polo is the latest London fad
The regulations are similar 20 those which
govern polo proper. Two flags are placed
at each end of the course, for which no
definite length has yet been Fixed, through
which the ball has to be driven, the play

STANDING OF EASTERN LEAGUE
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
At Cleveland

Klobedanz began the game by giving
three bases on balls, without a strike,
and the Indians batted him out of the
runs after two men were out. Wallace's
home run to deep centre, which came
with the bases full and brought in the
last four runs in this inning, was the
feature of the game. Powell took it
easy after the fourth and let the Bos-
tons hit 1t, and there was some great
smuggling, but the lead was too big.
Stlvetts replaced Klobedanz after the
fourth, and did much better, and Bob
Allen OF Detroit took Longs place at

Women of q Certain Glass Put to Work
the Streets.
An innovation in police circles has
recently been made by the officials Of
jackson, Miss, which is nothing more
or less than the establishment of fe-
male chain gang The city is full to
overlooking with negro women who
never think of striking lick Of work
or of earning an honest penny. 1t is
to such that the police have determined
to devote some of their energies, and
the consequence IS that dozen or more
are now engaged in working on the
streets under the direction of a special
officer.
They are given the lightest of work
possible, and so far have only been en-
ployed in cutting down grass and weeds
and cleaning out the cutters in the resi-
dence portion of the city. The expert
ment has been noted by most of the
papers of the state, with recommends
tions to their local governments TO try
the scheme, so that the probability is
that in short time the majority Of
cities and larger towns will have what
Jackson calls her female chain gang. -

Lord Chelmsford Is Touring America and
Inspecting Our Military Resources.
Lord Chelmsford, the British general
who gained fame fighting the Zulus and
Kaffirs, is one of the most conspicuous
visitors in America just now. Although
he is more than 70 years old and long
ago retired from the army he is an un-
usually vigorous man.
This is Lord Chelmsford first visit
to this country, and he says that he in
tends to inspect the lines of defense be-
tween the United States and Canada,
not officially, Of course, but simply for
the purpose of gratifying his soldierlv
curiosity. He expects to make trip
through the lakes to Duluth, and his
inspection of the defenses will furnish
him amusement.
Lord Chelmsford has been accessible
to interviewers who have called upon
him, and he has talked freely upon a
variety of subjects upon which he could
speak with knowledge and without in
discretion. Among other things he has
praised the Turkish soldiers and said a
good word for their fighting, which he
had an opportunity Of observing during
the Crimean war.-New York Sun

VIII Work a Georgia Gold Mine

The Wilkes gold mine, located in
Meriwether county, three miles from
Granville, has been sold to northern
syndicate for good sum. The price
paid and the names of the purchasers
are withheld, but it is known that some
northern men have been investigating
the property. They are also interested
in western mining properties and have
personal reasons, it is explained, for not
giving their names now. They propose
to work the mine on large scale. They
seem to be strongly inclined to put up
cyanide plant and treat their ore by
that process. Benjamin Wilkes of La
Grange, owned the Wilkes mine for 46
years. He would never sell it, saying
that as long as he had that he was sure
of an income. For long time it was
operated Oh a lease. More than $780,
600 in gold has been taken out of it
