Another set of good baseball exhibitions is effected when the teams of the Municipal League get together at Genesee Valley Park this afternoon, cars or no cars. Games will start on the scheduled hour. The first pair of games will see the Literary A. C- pitted against their old opponents, the Saturday Evening Posts. Each of these teams suffered a reverse in the first start of the season and each hopes to break into the win column this afternoon.

"Muggsy" McGraw is confi dent that his team is able to go the same pace that the Literarys set last year from this time forward and Herb Kieso has his mind get to make amends for the poor showing of last week. One is sure to be disappointed. The Mohawks and Tuxedos will fur nish the other half of the first set and judging from the brand of ball shown last week, the little Indian lads should win in a romp. The Tuxedos are a collection of old timers for the most part and may work together better this week. The Mohawks showed themselves to be a well-balanced team.

The second half of the program will see the Hlmwoods and the Monarchs in a death grapple. This pair of teams looks to be the class of the league just at pres ent land their meeting this afternoon should furnish some real thrillers. Otto Hoesterey and his bunch are out to gar ner that old rag and probably will use "Lefty" Blum against Dick Yvegman. If "Lefty's" slants are not breaking right, the congenial "Rube" Schillinger will be thrown into the breech. These teams play on Diamond 1.

The other half will see "Doc" Goler's reconstructed "outfit, for "Doc" has a re construction period after each game, ready to oppose the C. M. "Doc" probably will again start Joe Cardinale in an effort to bring home the bacon. All players are to report in uniform half an hour before game time. In case the street ears are not running thi afternoon the following Y.

M. C. players are asked to report at Kuhn's Hotel at the corner of Sullivan street and Clinton avenue north at 2 o'clock, where they will board a truck for South Park: Schug, Wells, Schlenk-er, Mehne, Kehrig, Meyers. Trott. Yahn, Kleisley, R.

But when the foremost amateurs get together for championships, it may readily be seen that, with golf balls being developed as has been the case this season, no course could provide a realfy championship test. On a course baked as Meriou was in the national amateur championship last year one of these new balls might well be hit 300 to 375 yards, according to the conformation of the ground.

G. A. otHciaU to discuss the subject of the flight of golf balls and whether the time is not nearly at hand when action should be taken respecting a regulation ball for the national amateur championship. There is more cause for such action today than ever before, for new balls hare appeared in the market this season, outdistancing any that have appeared in the past. M.

J. Brady first demonstrated in the metropolitan district the extraordinary distance iu one new ball, by consistently i outdriving both Jesse Guilford and Francis Ouimet in the four-ball match at Worcester. In that match, Brady outdrove his partner, Louis Tellier, 50 to tK) yards, but when they played an individual match at the Country Club, and Tellier used the same make of ball, the difference in their driving was not more than five to ten yards, with Brady still getting exceptional distance. When Charles Evans, appeared at Brae Burn with D. E.

Sawyer as his partner against Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford, he, too, was well out ahead of both when he caught his tee shots exactly right, and he never had been looked upon as consistently longer than Ouimet or as long as Guilford. Here again it was. discovered that he was playing with the new make of ball. Its next demonstration was in the four-ball match at Englewood, where Oswald Kirkbv and John Anderson teamed against Ouimet and Guilford, with Kirk-by hitting the longest ball. He, too, was riHnir this new make.

The rank and file of golfers doubtless would find the pleasures of golf stimulated by this ball, or any other which bas the qualities of lengthening their distances with wood and iron. They would have less cause for complaint against the lengthening of course and placing of bunkers in positions where T. J. North. way, 10O Exchange St.
