BOSTON, November 12.-Although
President Gaffney of the Braves de-
MED last night that the old South End
base ball park had been sold to a Chi
cago mail order house or any other
concern of that character, there is
reason to believe that the days of the
Walpole street grounds are numbered.
Fsr. Gaffney said he was willing to let
the park go at reasonable figure if
the city will profit in a commercial
way thereby, but that at present the
club had no proposition before it for
the purchase OF the property from any
concern engaged in the mail order
business 1t was noted that President
G.. fney merely denied possible sale
to one of the Chicago concerns and
did not deny that deal had been or
was to be made with some other in

GOLFING HINTS.

MODERN
ers who have not the advantage
of practice over links laid out In
accordance with the latest theory
of bunkering, designed to compel
certain well defined procedure to
produce par golf for each hole,
labor under a handicap as COM
pared to those who do.
The plan of arranging a series
of pot bunkers running diagonal
ly across the line at different
distances to compel cleanly hit
drives and second shots and the
numerous traps in the vicinity of
the greens to punish anything
like wildness on the approach
unquestionably reward superior
skill.
Those of us who play on many
links in a season cannot help
noticing how fiat and uninterest-
ing are many of the older courses
which have not kept abb east Of
the times. The old cop bunkers
extending clear across and the
shallow traps seem like relics of

August Hermann is the peacemaker
of base ball. Hermann broke into the
game about twelve years ago. when
the war was on between the Natior al
and American leagues He had been
identified with the game but few
months when he brought about peace
between the warning factions. Today
he is the man who is trying to end the
friction between organized base ball
and the Federal League. The chances
are he will succeed, because both the
Feds and organized base ball have i'm
plicit confidence in him and his deal
ings. Hermann did not receive any
encouragement from the American
League when he started on his present
peace campaign. Ban Johnson. how
ever, has since given helping hand,
though the American League may not
go to the extent of making room for
any of the Fed club owners.
The minor leagues have taken the
initiative In the matter of reducing the
players salaries. The major leagues
will take similar steps just as soon as
conditions are such that they can take
a stand. By dema nding eXorbitant sal
aries the ball players are to blame for
conditions that soon will exist The
club owners have paid more to the

both sides in the present war to get
together SO that the game can again
be placed on a paying basis.
John McGraw's employers are hardly
able to agree with Gen. Sherma n s
opinion of war. During the past season
the New York club cleared more money
than any base ball club ever did in
the history of the game, and that with
ont winning pennant or breakine
into a worlds series. The seasons
