ON THE GOLF LINKS.
Misunderstanding Caused by Prac-
tice of Giving Ascay Puts.

The common practice of giving away puts is
said to have caused more MISUNDERSTANDING anu
tl feeling among golfers than the average dew
otee of the game has any idea Of. question
recently asked by person of an inqu1rng turn
of mind, as well limited experience. what Is
the longest put ever given? Is undoubleaiy
"facer" A safe answer would be that there Is
no authenticated record. The query. however
does set one thinking of this curious custom or
not asking ones opponent to hole puts of certain
shortness
There seems to be parallel to II In other
games At tennis the successful antagonist Is
compelled play till the decisive ace Is
scored and in baseball no team has Wos until
the last man has been declared out. In bill
lard match when the enemy's score stands at
80 and he has the simplest kind of leave lile
other man does not put up his cue and don his
coat On the contrary, the enemy is put to the
proof So 1t goes in various other branches
That suggests the question What was iae oc-
casion or reason that prompted the first goIrer
to concede the first put? Possibly 1t was de-
sire to save his adversary time and trouble
though far more likely that he was an eXecFaple
holer out himself and hoped by a great display
of generosity compel exemption in ms own
case from the short puts he SO dreaded
This ostentatious liberaIity on the part of an
opnonent in the matter short puts could do worse
than place the golfer on his guard On the otier
hand it seems almost like tempting OF PROVIDENCE
to refuse any put that is given, and yet an eHcep-
tacitly binds the receiver 10 COIteoc OiiS -
similar length later on, however doubtful ne may
be of the ene1ny's power Of negotiating it
The ordinary practice of accepting halVe' is a
compare lively logical business. Both sides are ap-
parentIv the least afraid of missing their puts
while the of the adversary doing so appears
remote. 1t is said that opponents puts always DO
look much easier and, the whole, a compromise
Is the easiest way out IL. Overtures for halVe
are not often met with cold rebun. There are
times. however, when puts are given IN most
Illogical way There those who after holtnS
an outrageousIy long apt to give the other
fellow two or a three footer a sort OF
thank offering by way of apology for their own
luck.
Yet this really should be the time of all times for
the fortunate stand like u craven image
while the short put is being made for the opponent
has just gone through narrowing series OF emo
tions. While he lying apparently dead and the
other far away the hole seemed safely within his
grasp. Suddenly by hiGeous change of fortune
he is struggling for dear life and his little put of
two feet expands itself in his eyes TO yard or
more while the line TO the cup. which a moment
before looked smooth and attractive. all at once
appears full of bumps and Irregularities
It has also been asserted that the longest puts
conceded are those given away because the golfer

We pulled our head from under water yesterday and sent New Britain down to taste the sweets in the bottom by the same brilliant baseball that has characterized our last four victories. Bronkie was on the slab and in just one inning was he found for some trouble. There were eight innings in which the New Britains were helpless before the local speeder Waterbury was find- ing the ball so we'll that Brown was sent over to the bench to pom der on the ins and outs of a baseball twirlers career. Reiger was sent into the fight, but he came near go- ing to the slaughter himself, but pulled out after a struggle. The squeeze play was worked with good satisfaction, the felders were on the jump continually and that means the New Britain fielders as well, for they pulled down several that had a taste of hits on them.

Pretty Three Cornered Race in the
 Connecticut League,


 It was one of the closest races in this league during the past week as to just which team would come un- der the wire with the most runs tag ged On her back. Holyoke, Bridge port and Springfield were all in the hunt and New Haven and New Brit ain were not so far behind. Hol- yoke pulled out six shot on Sat .urday, however, while Bridgeport was just getting one. Springfield had t~o shutouts during the week which gave her big handicap and at that she was only five behind the winner. Hartford, humorously called "The Runaways," did run away for sure but 10 the tail end and the sum total of her runs was just l4. Waterbury scored every game but there were no big ones.
 In the National league New York simply swamped the others and St Louis brought up the rear with just seven runs, for the whole week. In the American league Philadelphia was the best bet, while Chicago and Boston were tied for the last place l with Is runs each. The following were the. pools in each of the three leagues, including all Sunday games as we'll.
