fEW YORK JULY 1910 How often have you played the wrong ball, thinking it was yours? Even if you have succeeded in escaping 'f'pAy this mistake, at least you have been put to some trouble to really identify your own ball. The Haskell White Streak with different letters for each player does away with any possible confusion by providing each player with a distinct identification mark for the ball he uses, in the shape of a RAISED LETTER. Twelve letters are supplied — B. C. D. F. G. H. L. M. P. R. S. and W. This unique convenience will appeal particularly to those who know the perfect qualities of the WHITE STREAK in driving, approaching and putting. It is the ideal ball for making good scores ar new identification letter puts it just that much further ahead of other balls. If the Haskell li'liite Streak cannot be srcured in your city, order from us. THE B. F. GOODRICH CO. Akron, Ohio COLDWELL HAND, HORSE, MOTOR LAWN MOWERS

The young men had it all to them- selves in the semi-finals, which is in marked contrast to the usual rule at this fixture. Messrs.

Brooke, won. Their total was a rather mediocre 350. The in- dividual scores were: R. G. Bush, |r., 85; Brooke, 87; Jim Bush, 87. and Carroll, 91. This score was, by the way. eight strokes below the team score that won at the previous At- lanta championship in 1908. The Memphis team was second, and the Atlanta Athletic Club aggregation third. If W. T- Tilson had been named on this team instead of G. W. Adair, the Atlantans would have won the team trophies with two strokes to spare.

Scientific experiments and acoustical I researches have determined the exact size, namely, five feet ten inches, necessary to reproduce the remarkable attributes and qualities of our larger Grand Pianos. Any Grand under this size crosses the danger line, as it cannot yield a tonal result superior to that of the discarded Square or the present Upright Piano. The full, rich and sweet tone of the Steinway Miniature Grand and its dainty appearance are already giving the utmost satisfaction to thousands of purchasers, and we recommend a thorough examination and trial of this unique instrument to anybody desirous of possessing a Grand Piano, but who does not wish to exceed the investment of $800 in a Piano purchase.

It is the only standard work that describes the women of all races and nations. In I its pages you may read how the women of China, or Samoa, or India, or Sweden live—how they keep house—how they marry—how they treat their husbands—and the vast col- lection of photographs reproduced in these volumes will show you how they look. Curious forms of courtship are described; the psycholog- ical characteristics of women are discussed ; the toilettes of women are depicted, and the fashions range from the laces and frills of the Parisienne down to the scanty skirt of the Fijian belle. This is a standard, authoritative work, written by such men as Prof. O. T. Mason, of the Smithsonian Institution; Dr. Grunberg, of the Berlin Museum ; Mr. Archibald Colquhoun, the famous traveler—but it is as interesting and readable as a story book.

The object of this book is to teach the player how to teach himself rather than how to imitate the methods of others. It is especially designed for the golfer who begins to play after reaching maturity, when the muscles are no longer flexible and cannot respond to the rules laid down by many professional teachers.

The following is a sample of hundreds of letters received by the author: " Many articles on this subject leave one little wiser than before reading them, but your characteristic way of driving in your points is most effective.
