May 33.—The brassie shot ia becoming more a thing of the past, and by a bras- s4u rftot I mean any shot after the tee shot has been played that ia too long for the Irone. Donald Ross says that three-shot holes are really only names now. Years ugo before the advent of the rubber-cored balls the brassle was a very important club, but since the coming of the new ball It* use for the second shot has con stantly decreased among the more /skillful players. It may be explained for the benefit of those new to the game that a bras sle Is really a well-lofted driver with brass-covered sole. Sometimes It 1* shorter than the driver, but that Is a matter of Individual choice. As the ball Ilea clone to the fair green and it is not teed up like the driver It Is easy to understand that the brass «ole Is Intended to prevent the club from being Injured by the rough ground underlying the fair way. 1 appealed to Tom Bigelow, the well- known golf authority, for a detailed explanation of the origin of the club and I found the Information very In teresting "At a certain length from the tee at a certain hole at St. Andrews." said Tom "there was a gravelly out cropping." In consequence the wood en club used for the second shot -had to be constantly repaired At 'first the club was mended with a bit "of ram’s horn, hut It was finally de termined to shoe the new club, as J’om expresses it, to avoid the neces sity of frequent repair. Then some J 'one tried a brass plate covering the entire sole, and as this was much more durable the innovation at once be came popular and lasting. Brassie Once Useful Club. In the days of the gutta-percha l_hal! the brassle was very useful. In ./.those days bogey was figured at 17."> yards for a drive and 150 for a bras.-ie, . and a player getting home on a 825- .yard hole was playing remarkable ,'golf Of course there always was a bras sie shot on those 826-yard holes and when winds were a little unfavorable* -three brasvie .shots of good length and direction were needed to help out the drive. It is hard for us to realize a time when the taking of four wooden shots of the well-hit kind was jiecessary to reach the green. With the change in balls came long er shots and bogey distances moved 'Tip. Holes of 400 yards were reached ‘with a drive and a good brassie. and at the present moment there are few . holee Ifi the country of the recog nized long-hole length, 500 to 600 yards, that cannot be reached with a drive and a brassie. This melrns that different irons have supplanted tho brassie on nearly all distances of 450 yards or so. and there are few holes now over that length. So while the brassie could formerly . be used on perhaps sixteen out of eighteen holes and then often more than once, it is new used probably only once or twice on the round. Sometimes on the few long hobs where one can uw a brassle there are bunkers guarding the green and the player will find (t much safer to play short with an Iron instead of trying to place a biussie shut Just over the bunker. it's the Driver and Spoon Now. One can play round after round on Chicago golf and me no brassie a: all. Even on the windiest day It may pot be needed more than throe or four times and m inv players now carry only a driver and a spoon. Necessarily the decreasing use of the brassie is developing a corre sponding uncertainty In playing it, and perhaps it is to counterbalance this weakners that some players are adopting It in the place of the driver They claim they can get just as far and it keeps them in practice with the club for use on the fair green; yet, on the other hand. 1 have seen several players use a driver on the fair way. The wooden clubs give advantage to the strong, but they lack the dell - -cate accuracy of the irons, and it Is the desire for this accuracy joined to phorter holes and longer balls that 1s depriving the brassie of all its legitimate use.

TINTED LENSES » I For the mountains or seashore. 1 Have your prescription fllled in j amber shade for the glare of sum- ! mer sun at John L. Moore & Sons, i North Broad Street. WhiteLity Park Now Open By Bill Bailey C hicago, ill. May i6.—“Silk” O’Loughlln, American League umpire, declares that Albert Russell, the Sox southpaw, has bet ter control than any lefthander who ever broke into the American League. "He’s going to be a great pitcher,’’ said O’Loughlin. "Not only has he control, but he has a lot of stuff on the ball. But his control is the thing that makes a hit with me. I do not believe that I ever saw a young lefthander who had the control that he has." And Russell has control for the reason that he warms up In a way different from almost every other pitcher in the league. Russell works for control from the moment that he gets the ball in his hand until the Anal warmup. Can Place Ball Well, "Four at your waist," he will say to the catcher. Then he will pitch four at the waist. It doesn't matter so much whether there is anything on the ball. Ills first idea Is to get those four at the waist. "Now at the knees.” Russell will say. Then he pitches four at the knee. He pitches just as carefully as If there was a man at the plate and he wanted to break the ball at his knee. "Now at the shoulders." he will fol. low. And four are shot at the shoulder. It's control that he is after He has an idea that Ills speed and his curve ball are with him always and thai it is the control which will make or break him in the contest to come. Bender Gives Tip. Chief Bender, the star Indian of the ■Uhletics, is another pitcher who warms up that way. And it was from Connie Mack's Indian that Rus sell got his ides. When the Ath. letics were in Texas in 1913 Bender v\as instructing some of the San An tonio youngsters how to warm up and he insisted that the only way to do was to try for control. Some youngster who was coached bv Bender saw the good point of it at once. That isn't the way the ordinary pitcher warms up by any means. He just throws the ball in the general direction of the plate. His idea is to start pitching easily at first, then putting more and more speed on until his arm is in condi tion lo permit him to put everything he has on the sphere.

Tl[f COP FLAG C LEVELAND, OHIO, May 31.— One hundred thousand dollars In cash is the bonus that Cleve land business men are reported to have offered the Naps If they can bring: the pennant of the American League to this city. The fact has not been advertised in Cleveland and will not be until all of the money has been subscribed. But the Cleveland ball players have been told that there is every reason to believe that the full amount will be donated. One of the players told Manager Callahan, of the White Sox, that the winning of the pennant by the Naps would mean the enrichment of every man on the team by $4,000. They figure 26 men in on the division should the plan go through and the Naps should win. • • • THIS would be the largest purse 1 ever split by a baseball club, and that regardless of whether the Naps were victorious in the world's cham pionship series or not. Incidentally this may reveal anoth er reason why those Cleveland play ers are battling so hard for every game. Winning a pennant Is a whole lot. It means a part of the world's series money, but add $100,000 to the sum to be won in the big series and you have a purse that almost any fellow would strive with might and main to win. • • « THAT the men are fighting hard to 1 win that pennant is a certainty. Clark Griffith, manager of the Sena tors. went out of town claiming the Naps were playing "dirty" ball to win. There has been nothing to in dicate that in the games between the Sox and the Naps. But the Sox do know that the Cleveland lads art showing considerable more fight than they ever have before. TOLEDO GETS DAVY JONES FROM MANAGER CALLAHAN CLEVELAND, OHIO, May SI.—The Sox yesterday heard that Davy Jones would be with them no more. They weren’t a bit surprised. They ex pected it and were interested only in knowing where he was going. Nor was there any surprise expressed when told that he had been sent to Toledo. When Shaller made good Jones was doomed. Callahan took Jonas from Detroit only that he might pro tect his outfield. The South Side manager wasn't either long or strong on fly chasers and isn't yet. so far as that goes. So when waivers were asked on Davy he grabbed him. GASTON TO ST. LOUIS. COLUMBUS. GA..

Poe Land mark Site ForBaseball Field NEW YORK, May 33,—Kings bridge Tavern, a landmark of 100 years’ standing and a resort where Edgar Allan Poe used to wait for his manuscripts to come back from unappreciative edi tors, is about to give way to the march of progress. It is on the site of what will be the new American League baseball park next summer, at 226th Street and Broadway, and a gang of laborers ha* taken possession of the old tavern as a shelter for themselves and their shovels.

By Ed TV Smith C HICAGO. May 31.—Though Luth er McCarty, the powerful young boxer who dropped dead in the Calgary arena last Saturday, was a care-free, indifferent young man on the surface; he was sensi tive to criticism and read all the sto ries that were written about him with the deepest attention. He never said much about the criticisms that were heaped upon him in the East because of Billy McCarney's unpopularity with certain people there, but that they af fected him keenly is well known to his close friends. As a matter of fact, McCarney is outspoken in say ing that McCarty never ivas the same after their recent campaign in the East, during which the big Nebraska athlete was roasted severely. "I’ve seen McCarty in tears after reading some of the unjust and un true things that were said of him," McCarney told me a couple of days after the contest that resulted in such a hideous manner. “I won’t say exactly that this has tened his end, but I do know that he grieved deeply over the cruel things that were printed, especially in the East. While training for the Frank Moran bout in New York some of the worst things imaginable, and all of them absolutely without founda tion in truth, were printed about him. “For instance, it was sent out over the country broadcast that we had been ordered to leave a New York hotel because Luther walked through a corridor with nothing on but his fighting togs and a bathrobe on his way to and from the arena. There wasn't a particle of truth in the story, yet until right now I never took the trouble to deny it. “The hotel people were indignant and wanted to make a statement, but I couldn't see it. The proprietor told us when we were leaving we could always return there and be welcome. "That's merely a sample of the out rageous yams that drifted into the papers. All of them affected the boy keenly, and he would grieve for hours over them. He worried a lot. “There never was a grain of fear in this man’s make-up. He was a bundle of courage and liked the honor of the thing above all else. He wa= none too careful of his money and spent it freely, but not in what might be called a foolish manner.” HILTON RETAINS TITLE. ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND. May 31.—Harold H.
