GOLFING HINTS.
by .sTRAIGHT DRIVE,
LAY STRAIGHT.-Long

PLAY STRAIGHT.-Long ex-
perience seems to indicate that the
man who can play straight toward
the pin, and does not seek to ac-
quire the hooked shots which pro-
duce perhaps a few yards. greater
distance. is the most dependable
in hard match.
The British experts laugh at
American golfers because we de-
pend too much on low flying
pulled shots to secure distance.
Their courses are arranged to cali
for definite carry at different
points, and their bunkers apd
traps are arranged to penalize
faulty direction on either side.
Our American links as a rule in
flict heaviest hardship for the man
inclined to slice, so when one of
our experts engages In a match on
one of their fully trapped cham
pionship links he often finds that
shots which are good enough over
here put him out of the running
over there.
1t is far easier to acquire ;rea-
sonable degree of skill at playing
straight than to cultivate bull
and then try to break yourself of
1t. The man who learns to play
straight can avoid many pitfalls
that penalize the one given to
fancy shots.

The absolute necessity OF having the
other teams of the league materially
strengthen in order to prevent these run
away championship races must dawn on
the men who have their money invested
in base ball. Something must be done
to stop the Mackmen, not this year, but
in the future, for they so far outclass
all their rivals that they are very apt to
win the pennant i'll a common gallon for
many years to come.
Eddie Murphy. the Athletics leado off
man, is esta blishing a remarkable record
in this position in the batting order. In
the last SIN games Murphy went to bat
twenty-five times and he got on eighteen
times. making eight hits and drawing ten
passes. In these six games Murphy
scored eight runs and on several. oc-
casions his hits drove in runs.
His success came rather uneXpect-
eddy. 1t is a matter of fact that at
the time that Mack obtained Walsh
Walsh was believed to be the real ball
player of the two. Murphy was sent up
more for trial than anything else, but
he has developed into a first-class out
fielder and an all-round ball player.
Bob Bescher has been benchcd by Nc
Graw. The fielding of this speed marvel
has been far below the standard. and
Snodgrass. who lost the world 8 series t?
Boston when he rnuffed fly, has been
Bescher proba bly, would have been con-
tinued on the team hut for his failure to
catch Il fly hit by Moran, then of Gin
cinnati, in the last game there The bail
should have been caught. in the Judgment
of McGiraw, and Bescher's excuse was not
accepted.
Big Ed Walsh is not living up TO the
promise he gave CARRIER IN the season on
coming back. His work of late has been
decidedly weak and it is the opinion of
those who have seen him pitch that there
will be but few occasions when he VIII be
seen on the slab again. Walsh has lost
his speed entirely, it is said. and he is
now a slow ball pitcher and not much
of one at that.
Owners of ball clubs are not going
to Law up "A lot of money this year.
Few Of the clubs in the two major
leagues will have much of a balance
on the right side of the ledger when
the present campaign is over. ana so
far as the Feds are concerned their
losses must he enormous. Conditions
have not been for the best interests
of the game this year. There has been
a lack of interest from the outset
The public did not take kindly to the
inence which the mercenary end OF the
sport has been given The threatened
war with Mexico also had its effect,
and the present European miX-up also
helps to detract interest from the sport.
Because of the one-sided contest in
the American League race the organl-
zation has been particularly hard hit.
The present race in the National prob
ably will save several clubs i'll that
league from suffering losses.
If the Giants should win the pennant
this year it will prove beyond ques
tionable doubt that John McGraw is
one of the greatest managers the game
has ever produced. He has already
won three pennants In a row with a
