Does the law Of average run true in golf matches? According to Charles Evans, national amateur and open champion, the answer is in the affirmative. ,,-
 He claims that all persons must agree that accidents may in one disas- trous moment sweep away the work of years, destroying health, happiness, even life itself;' but, of course this is a fact of possi bility, not of greatest probability. In all ordinary con- ditions he believes that the race is to the swift and the battle to the strong.
 All sorts of bad luck may delay suc cess, but skill averages well in sue cess in the long run in golf as well as all the important things, of life. .~,,.r.

WALSH COACHING YALE.
Former White Sox Hurlcr Instructing
 Hi Baseball Players, Gratis. .

New Haven, Feb. 26.-Yale's newly organized baseball squad, which is to produce the team to meet Harvard, Princeton and other college hines, does not seem to know just who is the official coach. It has been report ed that Dutch Garter, the famous Eli pitcher of old, has been damed coach, but Carter is busy in New York and it is doubtful if he will be able to give much time to the work.
 Just now the Yale squad is getting most of it's instruction from Big Ed Walsh, the former Chicago American pitcher of old, has been named coach and gets no pay for his work, but he is only too willing to come down from his home in Meriden to help the Ellis Billy Lauder whose contract as coach was not renewed this year, was here one afternoon and Benny Tn homas, former outfelder, also has given the squad some assistance.

 Some time ago he was offered contract by President Baker Of the PhilIies, but he returned it, and an nOunced he would not sign at thr salary offered. For some time Whie- ted has been dissatisfied in Phladel- phia.
