LITTLE GOLF TALKS.
Attire Of Golfer frequently De.
termines His Game.

Although golf is such peculiar
game in that a man may feel up to
playing the round Of his life and may
be attired in the proper OUTFIT for the
occasion. and yet play poorly. perhaps
through knowledge of the fact that he
ought to play up to his clothes. One
of the great professionals advises the
use of rubber-soled shoes for American
courses. as on account Of the baked
condition Of the turf in the hot sum :
mer weather the spikes fail TO grip
where the rubber clinss to the ground.
A change from shoes which have low,
fat heels to those possessing fairly
high heels is not advisable. as the
change Is apt to ruin the stance.
Knickerbockers, besides being the ira
ditional garb for the royal and ancient
game, are very comfortable and not
nearly as warm on the limbs as flannel
trousers.
Gradually there seems to have been
evolved from among the multiplicity Of
costumes for the game a recognized

More than sixty golfers competed in

BY n. c. BYRD.

The annual Masonic base ball game
is to be played tomorrow at American
League Park at $40 o'clock. This is
the third contest of this character
which has taken place. the first having
been played between Harmony Lodge
and a nine picked from all the other
lodges. and the second between a team
picked from the lodges making their
homes in the temple and those having
their own separate meeting places. This
time the contest will find the Shrine
and Grotto the contending organiza-
lions.
An automobile parade will start at
1880 o'clock at the Masonic Temple and
proceed over the following route:
North on 18th street to K, west on X

up Pennsylvania avenue to 9Th, north
on 6th to E, west on e to 10th, north
on 10th to Vermont avenue. out YER
mont avenue to T. and west on T to
the grounds. The parade is calculated
to reach the park about 2:30 o'clock.
and from that time until the contest
starts there will be practice for the
teams and music by the Shrine and
Grotto bands.
The personnel of both teams is some
to know just what the lineup of either
will be. The Shrine. particularly, has
been trying its best to keep Grotto in
the dark as to who Is going to be in
Of surprise. AS far as the make
up of the mines is concerned. the Grotto
is likely to have on the field stronger
combination than that which repre-
is sure to get pretty good pitching. and
has some other players known to be
capable. Harvey. one of the amateur
league performers. Tommy Thompson.
who has been rated as one Of the best
pitchers on the local sandlots, and
George Iseman will wear Shrine uni
forms. Damphier. Walker, Mccarthy
and several others who have had ex-
perience with amateur clubs will be
on the Grotto.

for a successful occasion. The auto
parade especially is expected to be
quite feature. 1t is to be under the
direction Of DR.. Mark F. Finley. and it
is reported there will be 200 or more
machines In the procession.
Billy Belts and Charley King are to
umpire. The proceeds OF the contest
are to go to the benent of the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home.
Joe Leverton. who has starred in
each of the two previous Masonic
games. will not be able to play tomor-
