BLACKSNAKES ARE GOLF AID
Most Efficient Enemy to Mole, Which
Does So Much Harm to Green's
Reptile Is Harmless.

Blacksnakes are being offered every
lnducement to make a comfortable
home on the links of the Coatesville
(Pa.) Country club. Champions OF
the reptile declare that it is the most
efficient enemy of the mole, which does
so much damage to golf greens, and
the club officials have started cam
paign to protect and foster the growth
of the blacksnake. Along the sides
of the course the underbrush has been
allowed to grow thick, and tempting
rock piles with full southern exposures
have been placed to lure the snake
from nearby lands. Not only does the
snake go right into the mole's boring,
but it is alleged that it kills off rat
tiers and copperheads. 1t is harmless,
end is not likely to discomfort golfer
by appearing silently, for the snake
does its work at night.

TENNIS UMPIRES ORGANIZING
Association in Japan Being Formed
by Arbiters Similar to One
in This Country.

Japan is to have a national lawn

after the one which has functioned
so successfully in this country for the
last several years. Mkt Milo, who
was prominent in furthering the in
terests of the Japanese Davis Cup
team here last season, is in charge of
the movement. He is already en-
rolled as a member of the United
States Tennis Umpires' association,
being the first Japanese to hold that
distinction. Milo expects to leave
here soon for Japan with a national
championship cup to be offered for
competition by his cOuntrymen The
trophy is the gift of Japanese resi-
dents Of this country. Milo, accord
ing to his close friend and associate.

GOLF MARKED BY ITS
MOST RAPID CHANGES
Modern Weapons Make Game
Easier and Enjoyable.
Years Ago Scots Played With Feather
Balls and Used Only Few Clubs
Every Modern Convenience
Was Quickly Rejected.

There are better golfers now than
there were 20 years ago. There were
better golfers 20 years ago than there
were 40 years ago. Golf is a game
that has lived and thrived for ages,
yet modern weapons have made the
pastime easier and more enjoyable.
Years ago the Scots played with
feather balls and used only a few
clubs. They played over short courses
and their scores ran high as a rule.
Scores then would be ridiculously
high compared to the scoring done to-
day. Courses were about a. third short
er than we have now.
If the old conditions prevailed
feather balls, clumsy clubs and short
cOurse-golf would not be half so at
tractive. In the old days there were
few cOnveniences, as the clubhouses
were not built on the magnificent
scale that they are at the present
time. Getting to and from the links
was not as easy, nor could the golfer
travel in such comfort
There were no caddie bags, either.
The caddie bag has only been used in
the last 40 years. Up to that time
the caddie carried the half dozen
clubs under his arm. Those who used
the first golf bags were thought to be
snobs and it was considered faddish.
The Old-time golfers turned up their
noses at the man who wanted his
clubs packed in a sack. The Scots
insisted that it was ma goff'
When the rubber-cored ball came
into existence the Scots insisted that
it was harmful TO the game, and it
was cried down in the leading golf
centers, just as the gutta percha ball
had been when it was first introduced
Every modern invention that has been
a help to the golfer has been rejected
at first thought. The bamboo shaft
has been barred in Great Britain, as
was the steel shaft recently.

NAP LAJOIE LEARNS
GOLF is DIFFICULT
Ex-BasebaH Star Finds Way Up
Is Pretty Hard.
Experience Has Taught King of Key
stone Sackers to Pay More Atten-
ton to Movement of Wrists
and Actual Accuracy.

Nap Lajoie, former second baseman
and manager of the Cleveland ball club
and champion batsman of the big
leagues, is finding the shedding in golf
no easier than the hundreds of other
buffers.
Nap, one of the regular visitors at
Highland Park, the municipal links,
had an awful time eventually breaking
100, and has just recently mastered
where in the COS. But the ex-king of
swat is advancing rapidly.
When Larry first started to play
regularly he walloped the ball for fur
Their orders. He apparently had in
mind his home run clouts of the rare
old days of baseball. Putting all his
mighty strength in the swings occa-
sionally did give him a drive of $50
yards or more, but the ball was seldom
straight. Invariably he hooked or
sliced into the rough, and he was al
most constantly in difficulty.
Experience taught Larry to forget
all about supreme power in hitting the
sphere and to attach more stress to
the movement of the wrists and actual
accuracy. 1t taught him also that the
main thing is to keep ones eye on the
ball from the start of the upward
swing to the follow through
Lajoie is driving ''em out around the
175 mark quite consistently now and
his shots are more frequently than
otherwise straight down the course.
Like all beginners lie is bothered with
such combinations as good day with
the woods and off-color with the irons,
and vice versa, but all his associates
admit that Nap is getting there and at
a real lively clip.

MEDIA NOW TROTTING QUEEN
Trots Mile at Lexington in 1884,
One-Quarter of Second Faster
Than Lou Dillon.

One interested in harness racing
points out that the sporting world has
become so much interested in other
things-wOrld's series and football
games-that not enough ordinary
Americans know that since the meet
ing at Lexington new trotting queen
reigns. Her name is Media and she
trotted her way to the place of cham
pions by going a mile at Lexington in
1 :5SH. That's one-Quarter second
faster than any other mare has ever
trotted The queenly honor before her
was held by Lou Dillon.

fore the war period, and the family
name was subsequently changed from
SchweitZer to Sweetser.
JesSe's rise to fame has been SenSa-
tiOnal, but steady withal. This has
been his greatest year. He began it
by winning the Metropolitan champion
ship this spring. He is one of the most
popular golfers in the country today,
and his victory has been well received,
despite the fact that he defeated
"Chick" Evans, undoubtedly the most
popular golf player in the history OF
the game in the United States.

The wonderful playing of George

that George played about the sandlots
Of Greater New York for several sea-

speak of. Like many other stars, he
had to go away from home to get a
name. In the East Toporcer was a

CHICAGO EAGLE LIVE SPORTS
MANY CHANGES MADE
In BASEBALL RULES

/ Plenty of changes were
brought into baseball during the
: season of 1880.
In that year eight "called
balls" entitled the batter to
first base. Sunday baseball was
prohibited by law. The first
professional ball park in New
York was opened September %.
And the rule was introduced de-
claring a baserunner out if hit
by batted ball.
! Two years later the number
of balls on which a batter was
entitled to first base was re-
duced to seven. Another change
was the adoption of the three
: foot line beside the path to first
base.
