Has golf more action to 1t as game than baseball? "Don't,' replies the average man, "gogetting balmy i'll the bean.''
 Still, there is always an argument, no matter what it's about.
 Suppose we leave one side of the case to Art Shafer, the ex-Giant third baseman or the Giant ex-third base man, just as you'll have 1t. Shafer took up baseball for the fun of it and tried the game out several years in 1he major leagues.
 Then he quit baseball and took up golf, where he quickly began to achieve success.
 (Which of the two games do you like best-which furnishes the more fun?'' we asked Shafer recently.
 Why He Picked Golf.
 Golf" shafer answered. Because it has more action"
 Golf has more action than base ban?'' we asked.
 Undoubtedly" the ex-ball player replied. And I'll tell you why. Take my own case. I played third base. In average games I would get about four chances. I would como to bat about four times. So in the course of two hours I was making @ play or try ing to made a hit about every fifteen minutes. The rest of the time I was standing around third or sitting on 1he bench. For over an hour and a half of the two hours there was nothing to do
 Golf is quite different. You are making one play or another every minute or so. A man who gets an 80 makes eighty strokes in two hours in place of eight plays such as he has in baseball So in golf game you figure in ten plays to one over base ball.
 Then there is the wider range. Golf is played over a five-mile stretch of turf, water, hills. valleys and sand. A ball game is played in five-acre lot. So far as I am concerned there isn't any comparison. I can get more fun out of one golf game than could out of ten ball games. Mainly be- cause in golf I am busy every minute of the two hours, while in baseball one is busy about thirty minutes out of the afternOOn.'

it would not be at all surprising If the doubles in the east versus west matches should prove an unusual feature. One of the Pacific coast teams will be the national champion ships combination, Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, while the other may be Mclaughlin and Ward Daw- son or a team made up of Willis E. Davis and Roland Roberts. If Me Loughlin does not play Dawson and Davis may join the forces. The east will be represented by B. Alexander, Karl Behr, George M. Church. N. w. Niles, Watson M.

A Matter of Thrills.

Carrying these psychological ana scientific researches still further, w ran across an athlete a short whil ago who had been star at football baseball and golf
 So in the general interest of art am science we slipped him this one q feed on:
 Which carries the greatest thrill:-
 1. In golf full iron shot dead t the pin?
 ?. In baseball @ long hit with tn Eases full?
 3. In football long run around al end or through a line?
 His answer was fairly immediate '"The long run in football,' he said T don't know of any greater thril than that of taking pass and break ing around the end or outside o tackle for forty or fifty yard run fol a touchdown. Tn baseball and gol most of the thrill passes after the bal has left the bat and has landed. Blu in football the thrill is not only keene but is of longer duration when yo feel that at any moment you may b tackled and tossed upon our head"

For the Spectator.

The two prettiest games to watc1 are polo and lawn tennis. Both hav| more action than baseball or football not more probably than football, bu| the play is out in the open where I can be seen.
 It would be hard to find betteI game to watch than the last meetina between Mclaughlin and Wilding, o| the final last year beetween McLoughI in and Johnston. The stage setting in this game help out wonderfully and the general variety and speed of pla! carries a strong appeal.
 The spectator who knows littl about it can enjoy a polo or a law, tennis match engagement.
 But he can only get fairly inter csted in football if he doesn't knov the game, while baseball and golf t, the outsiders are an abomination an, a yawn. These two games must b known to be liked by those who onl stand and watch.

New York, July 31.-Lawn tennis enthusiasts in New York are eagerly awaiting the start of the annual east versus west matches, which will be decided at the West Side Tennis club, Forest Hills, N. Y.s on Aug. 1 and 5. Some time ago word came from the west that Maurice Mclaughlin, the former national champion, had de- ~cided not to compete in any matches, with the exception of the national championships, but Mclaughlin never personally denied or affirmed this report Many of his friends believe that he will be in the vests lineup when the intersectiona1 matches are contested. Mclaughlin has always 1Seen a favorite here as much as in California, and there is no doubt that interest would be added to the series if the westerner were in it. He would like to try his skill against R. Norris Williams before the national cham pionships, and the opportunity to do this is offered to him in the coming series. It is doubtful, however, whether Williams and Mclaughlin would meet since Williams probably will be named as No. 1 man on the eastern team, while William H. John ston, the present champion, could not be overlooked for the same position on the western team even if the fans might rather see Mclaughlin drawn

The Leading Game.

This matter of comparative enjoy ment or thrills in different games de- bends largely of course, upon differ cnt temperaments.
 But there is one game that seems to lead the list, when a vote Is taken from those who have tried them all.
 We put the proposition Up to three men who had played football, base la1l and polo.
 All three voted at once that polo was the greatest game ever known.
 We then put the same query up to

three others who had played football golf, tennis and polo. They also voteI for polo without a seconds delay. Il fact we have never seen anyone wh has played polo willing to admit tha any other game is in its class.
 Why shouldn't it be the best gam of them all," remarked one who hal been successful at most of the other3

N. Williams 2d in the singles and Behr, Alexander, Church and Will Hams in the doubles. That the west versus east matches are attracting an unusual amount of interest is indi- cated by the fact that Harry Parker who has charge of the distribution of tickets, has received requests for reservations from all over the coun- try. Layout shows shows four of the stars who will compete in the east versus west matches. They are as follows: No. l. Clarence J. Griffin; No. 2, William Johnston; No. 3, Karl Behr; No. 4, R.

OutpOsts Fired Upon.

l Beyond the Santa Cruz are the 1 Huachuca mountains, over which the sun rises in the morning. To the 1 north are more mountains and to the l west the hills at the head Of the valley. To the south are some low hills which separate us from the Mex ican border which is watched from these same hills. Several out posts and patrols are out all the time. A few days ago, two MeXicans rode along the border back and forth a couple of times and then disappeared. Shortly after two shots were fired at one of the OutpOstS, the bullets gplashing the dirt between two of the men. The shots were returned but the MeXicans tucked the instant that they fired and made their getaway up a ravine which leads straight back into the mountains.
 The officers tents are in a grove of six trees about fifteen feet high, which have leaves no larger than holly leaves but which are full of sweet acorns which arc relished equally by NIexicans, prairie dogs and birds, principally sparrOWs the male of which is bright red on his head and breast. There are also wild doves and mocking birds which are very tame and come and sit within a dozen feet of me as I write. Less than ten feet away is the home of little brown prairie dog. When l first came out this morning he was sit ting outside eating acorns, but he is inside now and has closed his hole Hn1o oiI1I IL. l. hardly sec where 1t is.
 The climate at Nogales is no worse than New Britain on a hot day and at night it is cool. There is always a breeze. Here it is better than that. We are over four thousand feet high. This morning it was as hot as the average day and was 88 degrees at 1O:30 o'clock but with the breeze you do not mind the heat but little.
 This is the rainy season which means that almost every day there is a very hard thunder shower and lots of water comes down. This noon we noticed some hail with the water.
 Yesterday afternoon my men set the pole which is to be this end of the telephone line and they have erected the instrument in the tent of the First Sergeant which is the clerical office of the troop. Four of the trucks returned yesterday afternoon to Nogales; I kept the other two here for use in erecting the line and talk ing back my men. This is Sunday and only routine work is done unless it is a case of necessity. Tomorrow morning we will start on the line in earnest and hope to have it up in four or five days and will then re- turn to Nogales.
