In the East, outlaw baseball hash
a chance in thousand. In the West,
outlaw baseball seems to be thriving
| aplenty. In this section, the United
states League died almost aborning.
In the West, the Federal League APP
pears to be a screaming success. so
strong do the prospects seem that
there is keen desire to break into
the organization on the part of cities
not represented For instance, KAN
sas City and Milwaukee have asked
to be taken into the fold. Yet there
seems to be no room for them, at
least not this year. The league Off
Gals, in discussing the applications
of Kansas City and Milwaukee, de-
clare that it would be well-night inn
| nossible to rearrange the schedule
But they have invited the anxious
cities to come around next year,
which is displaying great confidence
in their strength. Outlaw baseball,
no matter how we'll it is going in the
West, is not due for success-not yet.
Time will come, of course, when a
third big league is likely to make 1t
a go, but for a few years, at least,
affairs are sure to be in too unsettled
state to secure the required finan-
cial backing.
The golfer will come into his own
some day if he can only discover
some way to secure about one million
part of the free advertising space
devoted to the game of baseball.
Every now and then the golfer does
something that comes in for general
interest and then you'll hear thou
sands of tongues wagging the same
old way-what is golf? To be per-
tinent-golf is golf, and it is Won
derful game, and the experts would
get their names in the papers and
would be talked about more if they
and the pastime were better under
stood. But that's to the days to
come.

over at the Polo Grounds yester-
day golf We'd with baseball in
peculiar test. and golf won out. Be-
forehand, there was much doubt as
to whether a golfer could accomplish
/ with a driver what ball player
couldn't duplicate with a bat After
ward, though, there wasn't doubt.
Golfers accomplished in the matter
of driving distance what ball players
could never do. The test came
about as the result of a soeiable
argument between Grantland Rice,
who writes baseball and plays golf,
and Manager McGraw, of the Giants,
who knows so much baseball and
so little golf. Rice won. His bet
was that he could drive a ball with
a golf stick over the Polo Grounds
fence. McGraw said he couldn't. He
did. In four attempts, Rice put one
ball high and dry over the fence
and another very excellent golfer,
Oswald Kirkby, put over two balls
out of four chances. McGraw be-
came convinced. He couldn't re-
main otherwise as he saw with his
own eyes the little white ball go
over the centre field bleachers of the
Brush Stadium without stopping for
the moment even to touch second"

And now that golf has beaten base
ball-that q well-known expert of
the rather exclusive game has opened
wide the eyes of the best-known ex-
pert of the most popular sport on
earth-perhaps golf will be given
more attention and be looked upon
as a sport as much for the ma sses
as for the classes. Those who have
ever played golf will tell you that
. it is the most fascinating game in
the world When you golf you dc
! nothing else. 1t simply claims all
your attention. Its expenslveness is
Its drawback. You must have money
!. to follow the game. But every day
1T is becoming more reasonable
Soon it is expected, Newarkers will
, have an opportunity to play the game
at Weequahic Park. That will near
|, free links, for one thing, but the
links are not all the expense-there's
the sticks and above all the balls
II somebody would only invent a
ball that would last or a ball that
/, would not get lost But what's the
use? When the free links are opened
go down and see the play and play
yourself You'll not like the watching
part very much, know, but If yot
ever start playing you'll forget yol
ever had a desire for peanuts anc
red lemonade at the circus.
