It seems to fit the amazing 56 George Dun- can scored during the Switzerland championship in 1913, and the al- most equally amazing 62 Walter Hagen clicked off over a full lengtn course at Bellaire, Fla., two springs 0. Somehow or other you are “rite surprised at anything the master golfers do. But how are you to explain the sporadic flashes of brilliancy—the inspired rounds—of the ordinary golfer? By what formula of magic is the 85 player changed suddenly into a 70 scorer? And why does this inexplicable burst of genius always show itself during a match egainst a champion? Consider the case of Cyril Tolley. The’ giant mud horse was good enough to win the French open and go to the finals in the French ama. teur. Yet in the British amateur he was knocked off by Denys Kyle. Now who is the heck is Denys Kyle? Nobody ever heard of him in this country, and on the other side he was comparatively unknown. All Kyle did against Tolley was to Face around the old St. Andrews course in 4 under even fours, Tolley himself was 1 under fours. Still he lost 3 and 2. Kyle had bobbed up with one of thos» “inspirea rounds.” In briefer but more direct phraseology, he had “shot his fool head off.” Bobby Jones probably runs afoul of-more “inspired golfers” than any amateur in the world. The skilled and unskilled alike are always strokes beyond thei? best form when playing against the southern star. “Dave Herron smothered Jones under a blanket of dazzling golf at Pittsburg in 1919. Before that tournament ‘started Herron was a renk outsider, @ 50-to-1 shot in the pools. _ Herron has never been clase to the title since. iJones. will never forget the “in- spired round” Jess Sweetser pulled on him at Brookline two years ago, when the Yale man had him six down at the turn during the morning tpund, ang finished the 18 with a 69. “Seiagine auy. golfer — éven “a New York re- | following | 4) six game series by | Hoyt out of the} half of the league lead- | York | Cuyler of Pittsburgh, ; in four | Brocklyn and } SISLER SLUMPS!

Billy Evans Says | > Ball lot. It is really surprising how far some of the brainy stars ot the game permit themselves to be carried with the jinx stuff. ong these lines, it would be a difficult matter to convince the sec. jond baseman of the American League that some one hasn’t put | the double curse on that position |. The things that have happened to the second sackers in the John- | sonian organization this year reads like a hospital list from the battle- field. players are a superstitious Second base is an important cog in the infield defense. Things happen fast and furious around the keystone | sack. A majority of the double plays are pivoted at second base. The loss | of a fraction of avsecond in execut- | ing a play often spells ruin. Failure to complete a double play is often the deciding factor in a ball game. i Drop a star second sacker out ot # team’s lineup and immediately the club suffers. One need only glance back over the records of certain Amerian League clubs for such proof, * é Five American League teams have felt the handicap of losing a star second baseman through injury.

Pratt always could hit. This season he failed at the bat. Eddie Collins at Chieago and Bill Wambsganns of Boston are the only two regulars at the position who have not suffered because of illness or, injury this year. Last season both Collins and Wambsganss were out for weeks because of injuries. So that the last two year have been tough ones on the American League second sacker. That is why ballplayers as a whole, and second basemen in particular, think the position is ji perstitious, it would be a difficult matter to convince them to the con- trary, ut eames | The Nut Cracker | | ¢——_-—_______—__+ AT THE RINGSIDE “Ain't it awful what these bis: cuit and gravy fighters get away with nowad Awful It's look at the important jack they pull down, too! raw murder And paying a bologna like y $400,000 to step a coupla ible rounds, If that’s right, then r nets make great parachutes.” “It wouldn’t be so hard to inhale Dempsey could really fight, but all he’s got is a right hand.” “You uttered a few undying phrases there, Thick Lips.
