could make a golf ball out OF soft soap

that were always trying TO outdo the
others when II came to joking.
The ball was formed. allowed to
harden, PAINTED, enameled and shellack-
ed to the queens taste, but the hard
part of the program was to get man
to hit II without suspectlng something. ..
Finally, after much maneuvertng. II

ball for the foursome as II started out,

evoking plaudits from the gallery.
That was some wallop hit that
ball, Lou. but what do do now?
with all seriousness Lou told him to
find the largest piece OF gutta percha,
is nothing left of 1t at all Then the
hole is mine, lost ball, loss of hole, you
know. That's the rule"
For six or seven holes the joke was
continued, with tho victim getting

MITCH HE'LL Is GOOD.

ST. LOUIS, No., Aug. 5.-Although
Willie Mitchell Is not winning quite as
regularly as several other pitchers on the
Maps stan. especially Vean Gregg and
Cy Falkenberg. he Is pitching Just as
good ball as any of his mates. He has
a record of only 1917 .5ss but this does
not tell just how effectively he has
pitched.
Just like all other pitchers. Mitchell
has an OF day every now and then. but

very good this campaign Working Tor

his pitchers out of the box the minute
they show any signs Of weakening.
probably has kept the southpawer from
winning a few more.
In several contests this season, with
the count tied and Mitchell would al
low a hit or walk a batter, Manager
Birmy would yank him in favor OF
some other hurler. Then II the Maps
won, the latter pitcher would get credit
for the victory.
But Mitchell also has been used very
often as a relief hurler. In this line ne
has made a great showing. Several
times he went in with the game prae-
sparkling exhibition of pitching and
was returned the winner. The most
notable Of these instances Is against
the Tigers
CIV Falkenberg started against Jen-
nings' men. He was found for six tall
lies in the first round. Then Willie
went to the mound and allowed the
Jungaleers only one bingle In the re-
manning eight rounds, while his mates
batted in seven tallies and he was a
winner, to 8.
