NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-with a

ing, the New York Giants and the
Pittsburgh Pirates will meet in a
double header this afternoon at the
Polo Grounds by way of an iraug-

will determine the temporary, and
perhaps permanent, leadership of
the National League race. Not less
than. 10000 persons were expected
to view the series, which will be
concluded with another double
header tomorrow and a single game
on Monday. The weather today bids
fair to be ideal.
The Polo Grounds gates will be

The Pirates held tactical pre-

made it necessary for the Giants
to win four straight games in
order to regain the lead and to
take the fifth game in order to
hold It.,

WATER HOLES.
Copyright. John Ollie Co

Before beginning on this SUBJ
ject perhaps I should explain
to those who golf but little that
by a water-hole one means a
golf hole with a water-hazard
which furnishes many q chance
for extra shots.
There is something about a
water-hole that sticks in ones
memory, and I think every
golfer viii agree that on all the
courses he has played he re-
members the water-hole the
best. Perhaps one of the aids
to memory is a certain beauty,
or picturesque quality. I know
that I have found that so.
Water used for hazards is
usually stiIl-surfaced and be-
speaks the quiet Of the country.
The top is like q mirror reflect
ing the trees bending above it
and the birds winging their
: flight over it.
Thousands of dollars have
been spent in improving the for
saken water-areas of midwest

however, the water hazard is q

/ have never quite believed in
the fairness Of the penalty for
getting into a water-hole. The
loss Of full stroke means too
much punishment for some
thing one has no chance to re-
cover from. When floater balls
were popular golfers used to try
to play out and / remember one
fellow rowing out in q boat and
playing from the middle Of the
lake, but the committee would
not allow it because he did not
have his feet on terra firma.
Nowadays our heavy balls sink
and render such an attempt im-
possible. It is my rule now,
even if the ball lies in shallow
water, to take the penalty. Of
course there may be q great
exception, but failure to follow
my rule has cost me many a
