Golf Is New
Freak Game For
BOaters

Seagoing golf is one of the
most novel and interesting
sports to receive an introduce
ton this season. The game is
played from a boat, and the
ball spends its time in the
water, being lifted with the aid
of a golf club from the crest of
one wave to another. Cups are
located at intervals, and it is
necessary to putt on the 'blue"
to sink the ball. The same rules
apply as in the actual game, bur
it is a very necessary thing
that the golfers know how to
swim.

when Goslin faced Pete Donohue,
their star hurler, for the first time
yesterday. Donohue led the Ma

prepared to prove it to GosliI.
The goose swung wildly on two
slow ones and the Reds all grinned.
Then Donohue thought to fool him
with fast one. Goslin swung just

second base for a single. 1t was
the same thing the second time the
slugger faced the star of the old

into a double play, but Donohues

Joe Judge is expected to play

Evans has done well at third

been quite satisfactory. In one de-
