Nerve Strains and Such.

You hear quite a bit about the ner- vous strains attending football, base ball and tennis. Or boxing.
 But any one who has been around a golf championship with a qualifying round in progress will be able to look upon the greatest nerve strain in all sport. '"-
 For in all other games you soon have the rush of physical effort, which has a strong tendency to drive this nervous strain from the system. There are aids that attract the atten-
New Britain herald., 1916-09-06

ton elsewhere. But in golf it is a cold and pitiless beating down of nervousness, where there is no phy- sical rush-no distracting side lines, nothing to think about except mis- takes-few visions ahead except yawning bunkers and abysmal traps, bringing on a nervous strain under which we have seen fine football players and fine baseball players crack with a detonation to be heard against the sky.

Braves Now Third Best.

Boston, Sept. 6.-The Braves dropped from first place to third and Philadelphia advanced from a second place tie to a coupling with Brook 1yn in the lead of the National League race as a result of the Phillies' to 2 victory over Boston here yesterday and Brooklyn's victory over New York. A second game between Bos- ton and Philadelphia went five in nings to a scoreless tie, when 1t was called because of darkness.
 For five innings in the first game yesterday Barnes held the Phillies to two hits, but in the sixth he was found for three binglea and a sacrifice fly, which, with a wild pitch and an er- TOT, accounted for three runs. In the second game Cravath was banished for disputing a decision at the plate. The scores:
