Standing of National League Clubs.

1t looked for a while yesterday afternoon
as If the Senators had a chance of winning
from the Athletics, as Case Patten had got
a splendid start. while the Quakers were
going about their work in half-hearted
manner, but the heavy rainstorm struck
the park in the middle Of the second In
ming and all operations had to be suspended
for the day. Manager Mack had fully in
tended to pitch Henley in the first game
Of the double header, he expected
Orth to go on the rubber for the Senators.
but when he learned that Patten was to
perform he quickly switched to the erratic
Waddell. and pitchers battle was on
from the start.
There was quite downpour of rain about
1:D, but the clouds cleared away, the
grounds were scraped clear of mud. and it
was thought the players would have clear
sailing for the rest of the day But the
second storm bobbed up. and as the ground
had been thoroughly soaked by the first
storm there was nothing to do but call the
game off. While the 900 people who had
gathered to see the games were huddled
in the grandstand a bolt of lightning struck
near the park and a shiver passed over the
crowd at the narrow escape
The Athletics left for home on the
O'Clock train while the Senators. who play
in Philadelphia today, tomorrow and Mon
day took an early train this morning for
the Quaker city. On account of yester-
days postponement double-header will
be played in Philadelphia tomorrow.
Lefty Herring. Church League player,
who was given trial a pitcher by the
Wagners around 1899, was in center field
for the Senators, Manager Donovan having
decided to give him a trial. at least until
Pickering joins the team. Herring handles
himself well in the field and at the bat and
he should have little trouble in showing
an Improvement on Orth in center. He
was taken along with the team, and will
play in today's game.
President Johnson of the American
League called the stockholders of the
Washington club together yesterday after
noon and at the meeting Business Manager
Dryers resignation was accepted and Will
liam Fowler appointed to the vacancy The
local situation was thoroughly discussed.
and 1t was decided to place the affairs of
the club under the direction of Messrs.
Scott Bone and T. c. Noyes Manager
Donovan has been given full charge of the
team and will not be interfered with in any
way. President Johnson left Washington
this morning for Philadelphia. where he
will spend a few days with President Shibe
of the Athletics.

Feltz Whipped Durane.

Tommy Feltz. the Brooklyn featherweight
who has not been winning of late. broke
the ice by defeating Jack Durane of Phila-
delphia in a rafting twenty-round bout at
Savannah Ca, before the Savannah A e.
on Wednesday night. The combat went the
limit and Feltz was declared the winner on
points The battle pleased the sports high
w. as the men fought at furious pace
from the start. The weather was warm
and this seemed to suit Feltz. for he went
after Durane without stint. In the eighth
and fourteenth rounds it seemed as II Feitz
would score a knockout. But purane had
a peculiar knack of hanging on when he
appeared to be all in. FeltZ scored by
punching Durane on the nose and bringing
the blood. This weakened Durane, and
toward the end of the bout he was unable
to make up for lost ground.

Notwithstanding the fact that the game

which may be attributed to the wet

plays pulled off which elected applause
from the fans present
Captain Haring was slated to perform
on the rubber for the Gurley team, the
opposing slab artist being George" Cor

form. although the park boy proved HIM
self more effective at critical stages Of
the game. as IS evidenced by the ten men

Champion Golfer Travis on PUTTING

x
In an interview on putting in the News of
the World. London, Mr.. w J. Travis Is
quoted as saying:
The aim should always be to have the
ball reach as far the hole at least and
under no circumstances to be short Of it.
In this way a great number of long puts
Will be holed. The ball certainly cannot be
holed II 1t does not reach far as the
hole, and 1t is just as easy to run down a
putt two feet beyond the hole as one two
feet short of it, By all means, under all
circumstances, give the hole a chance.
Putting is a curious thing-a very Curl
Gus thing-and 1t brings out. perhaps more
weaknesses and frailties of human nature.
1t is a comparatively easy matter for a
man to go out with few balls and to
hole putt after putt two, three, four,
five or six yards long time after time. In
troduce the human element in the shape of
a competitor and you have different en-
vironment altogether. The player then is
with the hole confronting him, that little
ball. himself and his opponent.
The putt which easy to negotiate
before-when you did not particularly care
whether it missed or not-is now. In actual
bloody warfare, an extremely difficult one.
even though 1t be a matter Of only two
yards away, and especially If 1t be for a
half with opponent expectantly awaiting
the issue. For this reason solitary prac-
tice at putting is not only undesirable.
but absolutely useless. excepting for the
purpose of learning the requisite strength
to be impaired to the strokes. In prac-
ticing putting it should be on competi-
tive basis and there always should be
something at stake-even II 1t Is only
