G0LFING HINTS.
BY .sTRAIGHT DRIVE,

EYE ON THE BALL.-In golf.
like all other games in which a
ball is used, ii is absolutely es-
sential that the eye be on the ball
when you are making the stroke.
1t Is not enough to be merely
looking at the ball. but you must
concentrate your mind on hitting
it accurately at the point at
which you are looking.
Many a player will calmly tell
you that he was looking at the
ball after a word of criticism for
bad shot. Yet. he may have
been looking at it, but his mind
was probably wandering. He may
have been thinking about the
next shot or a hundred other
things.
Glue the eye on the ball long
enough to, concentrate on it and
keep it there until the ball is
well on its way after the stroke.
If you do this the head will have
been kept still. and the chances
are the shot will have been a fair
one.
More shots are defective in golf
on account of not keeping the eye
on the ball than for probably any
other reason.

disrupt his aggregation until he satisfies
himself that he has a better man for
each position under consideration
1t is, of course. the ambition of every
city to win the pennant, yet but one club
can have that distinction. But there is
something. to be pleased with when a
team finishes in the first division. There
are teams in organized base bali repre-
senting large cities which during period
of twenty-five or thirty years have never
won a pennant, yet the sport is far from
being dead at such places.
At the present time there are eleven
players in the American League hitting
300 or better. while but ten in the Ma
tionals are in that class. Just why there
should be such a material falling off in the
batting is hard to understand. The Federal
League certainly can't be blamed for it.
In fact the outlaws should have increased
the hitting in the two major leagues be-
cause they robbed these leagues of sew
eral good pitchers--Hendrix. and Falken-
berg, for instance.
Last season there were seventeen 300
hitters in the American League and
twenty-six in the National. Why this
change has taken place is not clear.

PARIS.

GERMAN FLEET WILL STRIKE

It goes on to declare that the fleet of Germany will strike when the hour and that the caness of the German naval movements or lack of movements at pre- sent only be regarded the calm which precedes carefully calculated storm
 Germany is united" says the Times "All her men are in arms All her arSenalS are working at full speed and when her fleet strikes it will strike in cooperation with her armies"
 The wording of the statement is taken to mean that Germany has not yet really begun the real task ahead of her and that she is settling down to prepare for the fright full years come with all the scientific energy of which she is capable.
 AS the Times is known to be inspired by the men at the head of the government it's statements accepted as practically warning from the government itself To the peSSmsm created by these sentiments the apparent fact that the German army in France is able to hold back the whole power of the French republic in addition to the power of the British contributed not little There is a much uneasness shown because no official report of the great battle was issued this afternoon.
