"Rattles" Golfer by aNovel Method

IN the spring of 1914 a New York
 gentleman visited Cologne. Ger many, accompanied by a friend, who tells this story:
 One afternoon they went out to a neighboring golf course, which was under the direction of Scotch pro- fessional. The New Yorker was a rath- CT good player, and he and the pro were having a tight match-all even and one to play, with solitary golf ball as the stake. They drove off, and as the American took his stance to play a digger shot home, he was startled by a loud explosion close at hand.
 The pro informed him that one of the largest powder works in Germany was located close at hand, and the tests of the military at this point were fre- quent.
 - Indeed, they have mines placed hereabouts everywhere" the pro ex- plained, and then he continued bright ly: Why, they have mines planted all aroundzthe course here. As matter

WHERE are many reasons for the lay
 ing out of golf courses. Some are con- structed as an accompaniment to the hors d'oeuvres at a summer hotel, oth- CTS are built to swell the income of real estate operators and few are design ed because some one really wishes to play golf.
 Not far from Albany, however, there is course which was laid out for none of these reasons, but for the sole pur- pose of losing golf balls. In it's own peculiar way it was classic in course construction until a committee of eco- nomica1 golfers brought about revi- sion of the layout. The professional who designed the links was a genius. He wished to sell as many golf balls as possible, and in his opinion the quickest way to do this was to make the members lose them as fast as they were taken out of the box.
 He tried to make the average lost ball to every stroke, and if the mem bers failed to do their part it was no fault of his. He placed his tees so that

makes this precaution necessary. It affords rough surface that scuffs the ball. A ball that has been hit against a concrete wall is apt to have all the roughness necessary to make it ideal for the emery ball delivery.
 Baseball can get along without these freaks" said Bill Donovan. "A good pitcher doesn't have to use such tricks. Look down the list of great pitchers and how many of them were spitball or emery ball pitchers? Not many. There are only few men who stand out prominently who used such deliveries. Ed Walsh, Tesreau, Russell Ford and two or three others make up all the pitchers who were ever success full with the freak stuff. Such men as Matty, Johnson, Addie Joss and the dozens of other stars of the game nev- CT resorted to it, and you will hear about them long after the other fellows have been forgotten.'-
 It was Russell Ford of the Yankees who introduced the emery ball into the big league. but it had undoubtedly been in existence in its natural state around the town lots for years and, like the electricity in the lightning, just wait ing for a Benjamin Franklin to come

FRANK corcH,s FIRST FIGHT.


 HOW Frank Gotch, champion wres-
 tier. mixed wrestling with boxing Frank Slavin, the veteran ring man, in the Yukon, is story just told.
 Slavin. who has grown much grayer than he appeared twenty years ago as ring favorite. is now in England with the latest Canadian contingent. His little mix with Gptch happened years ago when Gotch,l under the name of Kennedy, was at Dawson trying to fix up wrestling matches when everybody wanted to see prize fights.
 Slavin staged the story with Jack Londonish settings, grizzled miners looking through blue tobacco smoke at the ring in Dawson's main emporium. Gotch, failing in wrestling matches, agreed to take Slavin on for a ten round bout.
 Tn the first two rounds he came at me 'strong,' related the old soldier fighter. T floored him two or three times. Then in the third round he lodged in. and, before knew what was happening, he gripped me around the waist and threw me up in the air.
 Y laughed. the referee laughed, and, in fact, we all laughed. The referee said. Do you claim a fopl?'
 T said. Well, if I don't suppose I'll never be able to come back into the ring again. So,. of course. got the de- cision. But the big American farmer 1 got more money out of 1t than he ever got for his wrestling bouts up there."

BILL DONOVAN TELLS HOW
 TO STOP TRICK PITCHING

 along and hitch the harness to it. No doubt many kid has pitched freak curve with a scuffed ball and wondered how he did it.
 Ford became the Ben Franklin of baseball quite by an accident. He and Ed Sweeney were battery mates in Alt lanta. One day he got hold of a ball that had just struck a rough spot and noticed that it took weird curve. He got to experimenting and then kept his secret. As he couldn't depend on bouncing the ball against rough spot he substituted the emery paper and kept it in his glove.
 He had a great year with the Yan- kees in 1910, and no one could under stand how he got the peculiar curve on the ball. When they began to in- Quire he arranged so that the emery paper was. attached to a ring on his finger and came off when he pulled>the glove off. Consequently when one ex- amined the glove there was no evil dence. However, they finally discover ed the device, and Ford never had a big year again. He didn't have enough of the natural stuff to get by on, and when they took his trick away from him they ruined him as a hurler.

Reasons For Golf Links

a good shot landed in a brook, long grass, grove of trees. a pile of roch and whatever other trouble is handy and convenient to golf course archi- tects.. Wherever a good shot should have landed, the thougtful professional had prepared an almost indiscoverable hiding place for the ball. Where there should have been a beautiful fair green he had carefully cultivated wilder ness, and where the rough should have been left in it's natural state he clipped. rolled, watered and dressed the turf to the smoothness of billiard table.
 It is a pleasure to state that such villainy overreached itself. For the most part, the players were of such poor caliber that, in spite of them selves, they played to the greens with series of poor shots that landed on the isles of safety, and. being by far the best player on the links, the schem- ing professional was his own best cus- toner in the line of buying new balls to replace those lost through perfect shots from the tee toward the green.
