the recruit to local circles from Texas,
is renowned for his long game and is
playing at n faster pace this year than
ever before. II is confidently predicted
that this seXtet will be heard from when
things get going.
UnGisturbed by the uproar at Detroit,
l2S local golfers fell on the Bala course
yesterday In the annual invitation tour
nament there. Young Norman Maxwell
led the field In the morning with an S5.
or the first nine holes he had eight in
five strokes. At the end of the round
no threw his stick on the ground in dis
gust. but his score was not equaled
until late in the afternoon.
Though e5S balls were aimed at the long
seventh hole hardly dozen went down In
flVe. j. Anderson was the hero of the
day when he got bird four there.
J. F. Hallowell took two shots to get
out of the first bunker on the seventh
ana then he went into the bunker behind
the green. The hole cost him many
strokes. He fell over the bunker and
missed short putt. But despite his anger
and a laundering freight train he drove
neatly over the lake.
Cecil calvert, winner of many local hon
ors this season, has a bad case of water
on the knee, which greatly affects his
game.
The beautiful gold medal awarded has
a significant picture of the lake hole on it's
face. This is one of the meanest hazards
in the city.
DR.. F. +. Devlin drove seven halls out
of bounds His driving was ratified by a
beautiful drive he had on the third hole,
whtcn went In a hollow tree stump and
cost him three strokes.
w. p. Cleveland, who put Buxton out of
the city championships, showed the gall
lery o great shot on the ninth hole. His
ball was on a downward lie in trap be-
fore the green. He put an exaggerated
cut on the ball and 1t curled over the
bunker neatly up to the hole. The divot
he took was eight inches long.
One of the merrlest holes in the coun-
try is the fifth mole at Pine Valley. There
is nothing hard about 1t when one is
about two inches from the cup. but up TO
that time the going is rated as rough"
1t is nearly always inspiring to step out
on a plateau on the side of a mountain
at a golf course and be told to drive into
the cleaning, because, even IL topped. the
ball has to travel at least till IL hits bot
tom. But at No. 5, at p. ", it's different.
Palms and ferns Of all kinds are
tangled on the side of the hill In front
on the tee. So no one does not lose his
ball in there. Rather he hits harder; yes,
much harder, for below, silent as the night,
is a stream like the Dead Sea. II isn't
a goat-getter or a mental hazard. 1t is
paralyzing. The clubhouse is near, and
many golfers take bracer before trying
the shot. 1t Is a long carry across-230
yards to the green. There is a valley be-
tween the tee and the green. The water
is elbow. Going up the side of the hill.
across the water to the green, Is a bitter
journey.
A pull goes in a tumble of trees and
sandpits and all slice does is go down
the mountainside and through a jungle.
The greens is guarded by all deviltries
OF man and nature. Monstrous sandpits,
canny slopes, dumps, bumps and humps
are the main difficulties.

GENE DALE CHOSEN
BY HERZOG TO DO
THE HURLTNG TODAY
Pat Moran Will Depend Upon
Mayer or Eppa Rixey to
Trim the Reds Once
More

The Phillies, with lead of two and
half games, will enter todays game with
the Reds by far more confident than they
were before the double-header OF yester-
day. Not only have the Phils broken the
spirit of the Reds by taking the FIRST two
games. but they have Her2og's men on
the defensive, because Cincinnati has not
a pitcher eligible to work who will not
be going to the mound without his proper
rest.
Herzog said this morning that he would
use Gene Dale, the most consistent per-
former on his stan, If Dales side would
permit him working. In the second game
with Brooklyn, Dale wrenched his side
so badly that he was forced to retire
from the game, and he has done little
work since. but Herzog will take a
chance on him if he is in good enough
trim.
Manager Moran is likely to send Mayer
to the mound The clever side-arm
artist looked by far better in his last
start than he has for a month, and the
general belief is that he is rapidly COM
ing back to his early season form. IL
Mayer does not warm up well, Eppa
Rixey will go back again this afternoon.

Marine men, amateur as we'll as pro-
fessional, will be interested in q new In
vcntion by means of which instrument
the true course for navigating between
two points is found and is then converted
TO a compass course without computation
In using this instrument on Mercator's s
projection, which is the kind of map on
which the meridians and parallels OF
latitude are drawn as straight lines, the
direction, bar is laid down so that 1t
touches the place of departure and the
place of destination. The dial is then slid
along the bar and rotated until its north
and-south or east-and-west points COIN
eide with a meridian or a parallel OF
latitude, as the case may be-
The lower pointer, which is always
parallel with the edge of the direction
bar, then points to the figures on the dial
giving the true course. This course must
next be converted to a compass course.
The variation at any place is the amount
that the magnetic needle points east or
west of true north.
The average Of the variations at the
two ends OF the course. as given on the
map is then taken, and the next pointer
above is set away from the lower pointer
by an angle equal to this. The final cor
rection is made for deviation, which Is
the amount that the ships compass va
ries for different headings on account or
magnetic influences In the ship or Its
cargo and this is taken from table pre-
pared by the compass adjuster.
When the top pointer Is set away from
me one next below by an angle equal 70
the deviation, II gives the compass
course on which the ship must be steered
In order TO follow the true course laid
Gown by the direction bar.
An illustration in Popular Mechanics
shows how the device is used.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug 26. Although

II such be the case, Mr. Yost can be par

According to a report sent out by a war

summer camp, the Wolverine boss al

paying SPECIAL attention to the forward

Folwell is one of the best coaches ever

his team defeated Princeton, Penn and
Lehigh in succession, and Washington

There is no selecting the greatest star
OF all time In any sport The closest APP

ball, where records show exactly what
each man did. In baseball, for instance,
Cobb has outclassed the field by a wider
margin than any player ever did before,
and so might be registered as the great
est player that ever lived. SO a runner
who could travel 100 yards in . 20 seconds
might well be known as the greatest
sprinter ever sent to the track. In golf
there is a matter OF par to play against
the record of strokes--but I'm lawn tennis
there Is no such record-one mans game
