"You could throw with your right and

Easy" Morgan said, laughing. He looked
a little eager leaning forward.
The announcer was saying that Val Morgan,
late of the New York Giants. would pitch for
the Boswicks in the opening game of their
double header with the Camdens.
Morgan walked out to the mound and the
place exploded again. He liked it, too; just
as much as though it were big league.
The first inning was easy for him. He tried
on the first batter and struck him out on four
pitched balls. The next two rolled out and
the noise went up again with Morgan walking
into it. He was smiling.
Sackman, who managed the Boswicks,
came over to us. "Boy," he said, ''say he

He was so surprised that he'd hit Val Morgan

What are you trying to do?" Bill said.

The Boswicks didn't score and Morgan

Morgan led off for the Boswicks in their
half of the third and went down without
taking the bat off his shoulder. But they got
run for him in that inning on triple and
squeeze play.

went out to pitch the fourth. Il didn't think

The first Camden batter banged hard

COOL NIGHTS 10Y
TOGREENKEEPERS
Report Putting Surfaces as
0. K. Now, but Are Keeping
Fingers Crossed.
BY WALTER MeCALLUM.

Greenkeepers at the dozen country
clubs and the public golf courses
around Washington are keeping their
fingers crossed these days. hoping that
1888 will be an unusual year for brown
patch, the deadly fungus that gives
them . big headache and causes golf
ers to moan about the loss of their
putting green's. With the memory
Of the bad year Of 1887 behind them,
the greenkeepers can take plenty of
the cool weather we've been having
lately.
Cool nights without excessive hui
midity keep putting greens in fine
shape, but those hot, damp nights,
without breath Of air stirring, are
the jinxes Of putting greens.
We've been able to get along al
right this year." said o. B. Fits Of
Columbia. But we're keeping our
fingers crossed. We really have had
. good year for putting green's"
Only = Few Spots Now.
Here and there you'll find small
patches Of the dollar" brown patch,
but nowhere will you come across the
big brown spots of moth-eaten grass
that is the sign Of the grass disease
Of other years. Altogether the green
keepers are singing hosannas of Joy
for the cool weather. And can take
q lot more of it.
Golf property around Washington
must be valued at millions OF dollars.
When the putting green's go sour. as
they did last year, that property
takes a nosedive. It's still golf prop
erty. but it isn't such hot stuff. But
your fairways and putting green's
have been plenty good this year, and
they'll stay that way until a spell
Of warm, humid nights comes along.
And then watch out. Your putting
green's can leave overnight.
Science has found some ways to
cut down on the prevalence Of brown
patch. but it hasn't yet found a
positive cure The scientists of the
United States Golf Associations
green's section have found ways to
partially prevent brown patch, but
they haven't yet found any method
to completely eradicate 1t. And the
preventives are expensive.

Some Of the charter boat captains
at Miami have started a movement
for the adjustment Of outriggers as
sailfshing equipment, claiming that
they are the greatest butchers" of
game fish ever devised. Outriggers
have been a great help in catching
sails, and, in fact, it was not until
they were invented that sails and
marlin could be caught by the average
angler.
They operate so successfully be-
cause they present the bait more at
tractively away from the boats wake,
and they also make setting the hook
after the strike more certain, leaving
less to chance timing.
Holding little hope of getting leg
islation against use of outriggers,
Jack Shook. executive secretary of the
Miami Izaak Walton League, proposes
that boatmen organize an association
and formulate their own rules ito
give the fighting hsh a sporting
chance"
Says Shook: "When . bait is
troAed from a 'rigger. = sail,
marlin or other fish has very
little chance"
Upon being struck, the bait auto
matically drops back in just the right
time for the kill. The star drag on
the reel automatically sets the hook
and all the sportsman has to do with
heavy tackle is to haul in the fish,"
