"What is ?he main shot in golf** inquires Beginner, "the drive, the approac

Too Much Ground.
Hoar Sir: To settle a dispute, what is the greatest battery baseball ha
over known? An answer to this would be of inte; est to a great many render:
FAN.
This order is slightly too bulky for our limited capacity. Hut here are
fi m to select from :
(Talks.m and Kelly Boston. 1801.
Ruaic <?nd Swing New York, 188*2.
Nicholll and Bergen Boston, 1887.
Young und Zimmer Cleveland, 1893
Mathewson and Biesnahan New York, 1905.
Brown and Kling Chicago, ISW8.
Walsh and Sullivan Chicago A. L.), 1908.
Johnion and Ainsmiih Washington, 191".
't would take a brav? man t > pick out any one battery from even thii
partial list and label if is the greatest ever known. It would be difficult tr
prove that any of these mention-'l had very much even upon the ts <
batteries of the present year Alexander and Killif?'r or MamaUX and <??b
son. The most effective battery combinat ion We have ever seen under lire
the most efficient for all around resourcefulness was the Matnewson-Bresna?
nan battery in the world's series of 1906, where Matty pitched thr?-" shutout:,
and Bresnahan's catching was one of the big features of the series. Brown
and Kling formed one of the great batt/ries of all time but as for the term
"greitest"- that lies out beyond our ken.
Greatest Shots.
Some on? I.a opened n discusi?n as to the best shots played by the
American Bis* Three of golf Travers, Ouimet and Evans,
They night be ranged as follow-.
Travers I ?riving iron and putting.
Ouimet Brassic through the green, and putting.
I'vans Maihie shot up to the bole.
Travers is the be;t man with the driving non in the world. Ouimet is far
ard away the best amateur at handling a brassie for a long shot to the green.
Evans is exceptionally good with both wood and iron, but the one shot where
he tises above all other American amateurs is in the use of his mashie. Those
who are lucky enough to be at Detroit in the next fortnight might make a few
observations and note whether or not these deductions are right or wrong.

While this was the ?take of an in?
teresting day of sp-irt. Il w a . in BO
sense the most interesting race. The
victory of Han on, from the stable of
Schuvler !.. Parsons, was reallv a bet?
ter performance, il is score came in a
highweight handicap ? \ tar?
' Ions distance, and under ISO pounds
i he very readily took the measure of
K. J. kfsoKoai e's Leo Skolny and J. N.
i smden's fast three-year-old Luke.
Il was the first ippoai-ince at the
? Luk? , and hi '
working so well that tne docker-, to S
nun, considered him s good thing. He
did not have the boat of fortune in
the running, when in op th. rail, nil
the way, and he was no match I
winner.
Then at the end of the programme
Jame? Roue, who has begun to show
hil rally good two-year-old?, trotted
out .mother from the L 8. Thompson
stable and naturally rook down another
PU'se. This one , Chicle, a son of
- ? -mint and Lady Ilamhurg I'd. He
! was, ju.-t a. were hi? illttStl
n: ttes, Dominant. Hromo and Thund?
erer, an easy winner, and it would seem
now that sa far as colt? an- concerned
the Thompson stable has a surf thing
on the juvenile tixturcj that are to
come.
Chide ??id not have S particularly
high class Held to beat, but it was his
first public outing ar,?l he behaved
himself like a really good one At the
head of the stretch h>- showed ? dis?
u to loaf, ho! when Tommy
McTaggart hit hint once with the whip
he jumped away from his tield.
The steepUchsse of tin ?lay vas
rather easy for M. Daly's (.alter. W
F. Presgrave'i llaria scored in ?? selling
ua-.h lor two -,, ear -Olds, an.I John W,
Schorr's Mara Cassidy ws winner
over the mile distance.
It was definitely decided to-day that
! the meeting would end on Saturday,
Aiii-si-t ES, as was originally an?
nounced. An effort was made to have
it continue until the following Tie?
day. at the rOOJBOSl of a committee "?'
citizens, but late last Bight this final
decision was reached.
Andrew Miller's Roniner h id hil iin.il
for the Merchants' and Citizens' Han?
dicap, to be run Satunlay, this morr
ing. He was -tepped a mile and a
quarter very ha.nlih by .la?'k Golds
borough in 'a":??'.' Hii race il the
Champlain wai plainly below his raal
form and it is confidently ?-i
that he will give a much better account
of himself in this next engagement. It
?s over the mile an?! three-sixteenths
ace, ai-d the -on of Knight 11
rant is required to take up top weight
of I JO pound-.
I? is expected that James ROWS v. ill
saddle Hoi row to represent the L S.
Thompaor silks In th.? running. Be
shipped hack I rom < ana,la in good
and is in nicely umler 1-1
pou mis.
Another notable work of the r
?ng was that of Thunderer, the own
brother to ?he unbeaten Regret He
worked six furlong? in 1:13 handilv,
and it is evident that his recent work
did him considerable good. ?Barring
seeident, he will be ? itarter "? the
?y, and mai.y good judges BIO
of the opinion thai h? ttOf col
than his stable mit". I >? minant, ?in
ner of the United Statei Hotel Btahej
and the Saratoga Special.
H. ?'. Hallenbeck ha- obtained third
call on Jam?'- Butwoll to take the
place of Byrne, whom be discharg?-?!
In the third race to-day David Old?
ton's brown three-year-old gelding Po
brokS down ?O hopelessly that
is is believed it will be necessary to
destroy him. He came to grief b)
ping into a hole a? they wer.- racing

After the fifth race ?I W. Hedrick
claimed old Reybourn, which rag
end, for $1..*?1."'. The horse ran
colors of ?'? K. (i Billings ?'"I ll ?
man. He will in
all probability be sold bac'...
Mr. Tarrish, the owner of the great
two-year-old Hul.-e, who had
back to Kentucky, has return. ?I to
Btoga, and announces that he h.i
elded to send H?lse home and give him
for the remainder of the ?ea?on.
The colt showed slight latin -ties? in hi?
work, and It was thought best to give
him a omp?.'.' let-up.
