Big Apple Business.

The apple business which has been
unusually good in this section this
year is fast coming to close. Up TO
Nov. Goth. Lucas March & Son had
shipped 3o,S03 barrels of apples
mostly to domestic markets, although
some good shipments went as usual
to South America and small export
to England, but their foreign trade
was light on account of the war condi-
tons in the old world. In addition to
the above amount of fall and winter
fruit shipped, the Marches have
also loaded % ears of elder apples
making a total of l97 car loads al
ready sent out from this Immediate
section by them and about seven cal
loads more are to 90 which will close
up the apple trade for the season. =

Pomeroy, life prisoner sentenced to
solitary confinement in the CharIestown

This privilege was granted by action
of Gov. David l.. Walsh and members
of the executive council last week. In
his early days at the prison Pomeroy
was permitted to 20 to chapel on Sun
day with the other prisoners, but with
a change Of officials 33 years ago came
an order forbidding this privilege
chiefly on the ground that the craft,
! FomeToy might escape.
I The service was conducted b. tn,
/ Rev. w. Bradley Whitne-. About SIS
prisoners were in the congregation
/ Pomeroy was one Of the most attentive
during the sermon and also joined il
! the singing Of the psalms. He appears,
/ to be wholly at case.
/ He seemed greatly interested in cv
erything and everybody. He watcbe,
the preacher. the prisoners and tn
many officials After the services h
filed out behind the other prisoners. }l
was taken 10 his cell on Cherry I'LL
where he had dinner.

SENSATIONAL PLAYS FEATURE.
Army Navy Battle Always Marked by
Something Out of the Ordinary.

Hardly an Armv-Navy game is ever
played bat what some sensational play
has been made which played an I'M
portant part in the final score. BY
far the most sensational play ever re
corded in these annual battless accord
ing to coaches and officers, WHO have
been following the games, was the run
of Charley DAILY, the old Army quar-
terback and present head coach in the
1901 game
DAILY had Just finished a wonderful
career at Harvard. where he was the
peer of college quarterbarls for three
years. I'm this game with the score
close the first kickoff Of the second
half went straight to Daily The little
wonder had been injured several times
in the first half, and had apparently
slowed up but came out for the second
half very much refreshed.
Catching the ball on the 12-yard
line. Capt. Dalv started the greatest
run ever seen in these annual battles
and as Spectacular a play rs has ever
been seen on football field. He sue
ceeded in going through the entire Ma
, w team, throwing off tackler after
tackler. This play put the game on
ice for the Army.
| Then came Upton 5 peculiar play ir
1905 An Army line man had 1--' w. -
through and blocked a punt. Upton
shot through the line like 4 Hash, ana
realizing that if he attempted to pies
up the bah he would probably be
tackled before he had gene five yards
he Decided to take u chance on his
speed in a chase down the field. ane
skilfuHy booted the ball about Il
yards while on the dead run. He out
ran the entire field and fell on tn,
ball for the deciding score of The
game.
In 1906 Northcroft, the Navy kick
er, succeeded in kicking n goal from
placement from the 40-yard line. Tn
angle was most difficult aud the llicl
was made in the face of strong wind
This kick took the heart out Of TIL
Army and killed a great rally Nav
won the game and gave Northcrcf
full credit for the victory.

GOLF AS SEEN BY A MAN
WHO HAS NOT PLAYED 1T.
Frenchman Gives His Views or the
Royal and Ancient Game.

1--WE see on the green countryside
during the warm days of summer per-
spring creatures, flushed and unkempt,
armed with long handled clubs, strik-
ing the ground with frenzy as if they
wish to discover rare stones or precious
metals. They are golfers at work"
Thus writes contributor 10 the
Paris Journal in giving what he calls
guide du golf. He explains some
of the pecGliarities of the game. First.
with regard To the ground: Any ground
will do so long as it is not level. Hav-
ing found your ground, you then take
great care to fill up all the natural
holes in it. Having done so, you make
IA number of artificial holes which are
all Of fixed shape and depth; the
more these holes resemble natural
holes the better they are.
Golf is the direct descendant of a
now questionable sport. known as
stonebreaking, which consists of break
ing the stones on roads with the aid
of long hammer. The essential diff
ference is that the golfers do not wear
wire spectacles like their ancestors the
stOnebreakers.
The stones have been replaced by
small India rubber bali. which lasts
much longer, being unbreakable.
The problem is to make this ball go
/ into the holes on the golf course with
ont touching it with the hands That
would be much too easy. To push it
toward the holes you use a wooden
veniently shaped so as to make the
problem as complicated as possible
This stick is called club and its mum
her is legion. since it is the correct
thing to change the club between each
stroke, just as you change forks be
tween each course.
The collection of clubs. contained il
an umbrella case, is carried behind th5
line of fire by yOungster known as :
caddie. The player. having chosen
with great care from among his club,
one which is likely to make a success
full stroke. tiourishes it with boil
hands. strikeS-and misses the ball.
There are two ways of missing til,
ball-one by using too much force ant
the other by not using enough. Th
stroke with too much force behind i
is the easier 1t consists in striking
the earth a few feet behind the bal
without touching it. When this strok
+ is well done it sends into the air
p shower of earth and turf. after tn
q style of Il fireworks display, with yer
p elegant effect. The hit which miSSe
+ is more delicate to achieve. In thi
e case it is necessary that your club, af1
@ er Il vigorous flourish, should max
$ straight for the ball, pass it withou
touching it and return by the impetu
given it to strike the player on til
back of the head.
This is how | found golf playet
and ! have studied it number {
