Vardon Uses Ten Clubs

HARRY VARDON, the great English
 golf expert. who has won the Eng fish championship Six times. in describ- ing hig equipment. says:
 I'm addition to my nfdiron carry a driver and two brassies. Of the latter one Is straight faced, while the other is 1ofted so as to help in cuppy lies. have 8 cleek and a driving iron. The former makes the greater distance. but the driving iron is useful when the shot is of a length which does not de- mand the use of cleek.
 There are the two nashies, which I have already recommended the golfer to use, the one for ordinary approaches and the other for odd jobs, especially in long grass or against the wind, and a niblick and butter complete the ar- rangement-

Driver Pop Geers' Long Career

HOWARD FIR AN x LI N tPOP)
 GEERS. the noted harness driver and trainer. would rather engage in a fox hunt than ride in the grand circuit races. He admitted this much in the course of an interview recently.
 " es, horse racing is the most exeit- ing sport in the world" said Geers, .sbut for the real thriller give me 9 fox hunt. believe there is more pleasure to be obtained in chasing the elusive little animals than in anything else of which know"
 And there you have the opinion of a man who has been identified with the harness game for nearly twoseore years.
 Geers has won so many races in his career that he declined to even ap- proxirnatez the number of his success es. He evaded entirely the question of what his winnings in purses have been in the thirty-f1ve years or more he has

TO INCREASE
 TROTTERS' SPEED

TtaIS years smashing of all haFnesg
 race records by both pacers and trotters has brought to the front tho inventor with schemes to still further reduce track records by improved suls kieg. Tt ia an exact repetition of what happened just after Maud g., Pzlo Alto. Smugg1er and other horgss of their day Knocked all previous track records to pieces while hftched to tha old fashioned and clumsy high wheel sulkies. Horsemen will remember thaa it was this smashing of records that brought out the present low EWunE1 pneumatic tire sull<y. which has en- abded the harness horses to make GIas old high wheel SuIly records look like the arnblfng of OK cart With che present vehicle horse that cann1E equal or beat the record of Maud ss-s. sos %. made in 1865-ts hardly con sfdered worth bothexang with Qny ths master re3nsmen of today. ezce ia the. period of development.
 Now western genius has dsyissd a suIky which Is expected to enable tho harness horse to lower his records by as many seconds as has been done sFith the spider web-Ike rubber tire suIlrs, of today. This new device has third wheel in the rear of the two now used and placed midway between them The drivers seat is placed close to and partly over this added wheel, the whole framework being of the ItghtssE and stiffest of steel wires. It is aatd 9oR this new su1lky that 1t gives the horse greater freedom of action. due Co SEs fact that there is less swerving o6 tfs su1lry in rounding the track turns end a steadtness of seat that tends to gt0p the natural tendency Of the horse Co

 The machine is being tried Out Sn the northwest, and horsemen who have ridden on 1t have been able to cut couple Of seconds from the Eee- ords of the horses they have handled in the trial heats in which it has been used. The inventor believes that horse of moderate speed will be able to reduce his records by three or four seconds and a horse of extreme speed to clip couple Of seconds from his record when harnessed to this new Ve- hicle. He believes mile in 1=5O possibility within half dozen yea8g. as speed line breeding produces the truer and faster trotter or pacer.

The cool day makes the wing feel strong. However. I have gone out to pitch on a day when my arm felt per- feet and my fast ball had a zip to 1t which made me think could beat any club in the land However, found that my fast one soon lost it's zip and my curve wouldn't break. I guess that. while my arm felt good. it really was weak
 Weather conditions have a lot to do with the work of a pitcher. I be- lieve. One day in Chicago felt so good that I begged to go to the mound.

That is not the case in the majority of cases. don't mean to say that man will not get a sore arm at times when he has worked it too hard or it has been hurt in some way. But under ordinary circumstances say when man is pitching in his regular turn every third. fourth or fifth day-he very rarely is able to know by any message that the nerves may telegraph to his brain that the wing is not in shipshape working or der.

PLAYERS HURT
 ON DIAMOND

THHE year 1914 was peculiarly fruit
 full in baseball injuries and mis- hapa. Some of them upset team chances for pennants. Others were confined to the personal discomfort of the damaged player. But the chapter Of accidents probably was naore ax- tensive and farreaching this year than ever before.
 It is true that no single club ran into as tough a streak of luck as did the Cubs of 1908, when that peerless machine came within a razor's edge of being knocked off the pennant ii1ab by run Of illness and injury that at one time, along in July and August put eight regulars out of the game at one time, but the 1914 casualties were broadcast in notable degree.
 Tn the National league Red Smiths injury on the last day of the season was, of course, the most Spectacular damage of the year. Smith broke a leg in a game with Brooklyn and was out of the worlds series, which, however. had no appreciable effect on the out come of that event
 Ty Cobb turned up lot of trouble by breaking . thumb while humping a butcher i'm Detroit and took part in a few more than half the games of the schedule. being otherwise injured earlier in the race. This did not keep Ty from repeating as leader of all the DaLSnG4.
 UndoubtedIy the most consistently injured was George Paslxert Of the Phfuies- Dodsss list of mishaps would be funny if it were not so serious. It seemed that everything Dode tried to do got him in bad.
 Even before the season opened George strained his side while sliding to second In an exhibition game at Baltimore. As soon as he got back in the game he twisted an ankle while sliding to the plate in a game with the Giants. After recovering from this naischance George tried to stick one of his fingers through line drive in the outdeld. and a few rainutes later the digit was placed in splints and George was on the bench again Three weeks before the season ended George made fanother disastrous slide and pulled the muscles in his right leg, returning to bench duty once more.
 Tn the Southern league the Atlanta team practically was put out Of the race by the misfortune of Harry Welchcnce. who yielded to an attack Of tubsrcuI0sIs after a game struggle that began almost with the opening combak Montgomery, too. was fear fully shot to pieces by successive in 5ur1es to nearly every reg uIar, Sne- decor bedng perhaps the main sufferer Chattaneoga suffered by McCarnick,s s. various xnishaps. and not a club in the circuit escaped similar trouble

DRIVING WASPS from NESTS
Simple Method That Is Even Moro Eff
ficaclous Than the OIdtlme EN-
ployment Of Fire,

Here's q way to fight wasps that is
commonly practised by government
engineers when out surveying:
On the government surveys the
usual method Of getting q big wasp
nest out of the line is to set fire to
some moss placed in the fork of long
limb, and thus burn the nest up. The
wasps fly madly out In practically
straight lines, and all the men fall
down on the ground.
Recently. however, to the surprise Of
the engineers in charge of survey. a
native woodsman showed far easier
and much more peculiar method. He
took the long machete, or knife used
in chopping small trees and under
brush, and rubbed the blade of 1t under
his arm backward and forward few
times, and then placed 1t quickly on
the bottom of the nest. Then an as
founding thing happened-all the
wasps seemed seized with panic and
flew quickly away. The odor of human
perspiration seemed to have greater
effect on them than the smoke.
OF course 1t Is q well known fact
that to some animals the doors of 9TH
er animals are unbearable; even diff
ferent races Of men have their distinct
i've odors, and some are unpleasant to
others. 1t is safe to assume that the
odor Of man to the wasp is as unbear-
able as the odor Of the skunk to man.
Anyhow, this method of fighting wasps
has been adopted almost to the exclu-
sion of previous methods by the par
ticular engineer who saw the safe and
sure effect of its trial; but it takes
some little nerve to do it.-Illustrated
Sunday Magazine.
