Two teams of the squad battled to a 6-6 tig in a: practiee game pygerday. “TAKE YOUR TIME” GOOD GOLF SLOGAN Golf is ene of ‘the few games whercin thera is no time limit.

At the Baseball Training Camps Chicago.— Alphonse Thomas, the. furmer Baltimore hurling ace, was the principal attraction at the training camp of the Chicago White Sox Shreveport, La., yesterday. He pi aded his stuff for the first time in a warming up session. The Chicago Cuhg had another, r game at Catalina Island, with the makeshift lineup walloping the regulars 11 to 1. S New York.—Victory for the Giants, over the Buffalo International, 6 te: 5, and defeat for the Yankees at the hands of the Boston Braves, 6 to 1, featured the training camp endcavors\ of Greater New York baseball teams in their first real exhibition tests. Wilbert Robinson, presidént-man- ager of the Brooklyn team, laid down stringent rules at Clearwater, Pla. The limit in draw poker games for; alayers hereafter will be a quarter. Philadelphia.—Participating in his, first real ball game since April, 1924; Joe Hauser, star first baseman of the Athietics, out all last season with a broken knee cap, came back strong yesterday, knocking out a triple and single in a practice game at Fort; M; Fla. Brilliant playing of Joe Buskey, the; Phillies new shortstop, enabled the juniors to defeat the regulars, 2 “to! 1, at Bradentown, Fla. Boston.—The Braves fcel a lot bet- ter today ax a result of their 6-1 vie- tory yesterday over the Yanks at St, Petersburg, Fla. Babe Ruth failed! to get a hit.

Pittsburgh.—Manager William Mc- Kechnie is concerned over the condi- tion of Captain Max Carey and first baseman George Grantham of the Pirates squad now in training at Paso Robles, California. The skipper is fearful that the two men who are indisposed will not have time to get into trim for the opening of the scason. Cleveland—The Cleveland Indians play their first exhibition game of the season at Lakeland today, the Cincinnati Reds being their oppon- ents. Commissioner Landis was sched- uled to toss out the first ball. Cincinnati.—A b: nt future was redicted for the Cincinnati Reds by Secncsaw M. Landis, commissioner of baseball, who watched the team in two practice sessions at Orlando yes-! terday. Detroit.—Taking advantage of warm- er weather, the advance squad of the shot at haod come in for a major share of consideration. Too hasty a swing of the club without taking into. consideration the lic of the ball, the judge of dis- tance desired, the strength of ‘any breeze or wind that might be blow- ing, the slope of the land Where onc figures the ball will eome to rest—- there arc almost countless irregu- larities in the temperamental .game r-lof golf that a few moments of study -might help erase. Most Players Teo Westy Observations taken .en' almost @ny golf course and of almost any golfer aside from the amateur and iprofessional aces, will bring to view: ¢. fact that a large majority of jem are too hasty in ‘their Bley ‘and that thought insufficient of ‘the shot at hand usually )prevails. “Time is cheap. ught is just ais’ cheap.

Tt played six games, winning only one. it-counted but 13 points all sea- son. The sole victory was obtained over Maine, 6-0. Holy Cross, Brown, Ar- my, Harvard and Dartmouth whipped the B. U. eleven. Holy Cross was ‘the single foe, failing to gain a shut- out. Holy Cross won, 16-7. Dartmouth piled up the largest to- tal—38. Brown was close behind with 35. Boston did its best work against Harvard, holding the Crimson to a 13-0 count. THE 'BIG THREE My mail the-other day brought this question: “What are the three best college basketball teams in the coun- try this season?” That's a tough one te answer. Off-hand, however. I'd say Syracuse, Columbia and Notre Dame. Syracuse has been sweeping all opposition aside, So has Notre Dame, teluatoe several Big Ten teams. Columbid thas one of the best in its history. It looks like a certain winner in the eastern intercolleglate league. é ee In this connection I'd like to see a Syracuse-Columbia tussle, the winner to meet Notre Dame. It won’t come to pass though. That is, not as far as the naked aptic can discern. REMEMBER Charley Dvorak, “Michigan pole- vaulter of.25 years ? Dvorak was ‘one of the best vaulters of his day. Could do around 11 feet, six. Prep school lads are topping that mark now. What a difference in a quarter. century of competition! Michigan won't have Hubbard and Wittman, its two sprint stars, this season. But in the youthful Hester it has an able replacement. Hester, a Detroit boy, is exceptionally fast over 100 yards. He ran for Canada i the last Olympics. After winning ‘his first heat he drew Abrahams of Great Britain. Abrahams, the ulti- mate victor in the event, barely nosed Hester out. Wateh this Ind! INTRODUCING— Walter Steffen, Chicago's All-Amer- ica quarterback of close to 20 years back. ‘Old-timers will recall Steffen: He succeeded another Walter—Ecker- sall—at the pilot post. And, incident- ally, did a swell job of it, Steffen is now a member of the Carnegie Tech coaching staff, He also practices law. Finds time for both. 3 Wisconsin won four of its first five Big Ten basketball brushes. It seem- ed well along the championship trail. But the Badgers then did a complete dipsy-dew, dropping the next five. Terrific tumbles come even in the court pastime. . Southern Californii ably recall, won the eastern interc: legiate track and field classic last year. Don't be terribly startled if the Trojans make it two straight this spring. Dean Cromwell, illustrious coach, has lost several stars, 'tis true, but he still has “Bud” Houser, Leigh- ‘ton Dye and a flock of others. .As has been the case for the last-few years, it looks like another “western men- ace” this season, with U. S. C. again playing such a role. f ON THE AIR | >-_—_______.-__-____-4 .FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10 EASTERN TIME WEAF (492) New York City. 4,’Or- chestra; 4:30, Myrtle Holmes ‘Pur- dy, contralto; 4:45, Story Hour of the New York Public Library; 5, Vincent Lopez and orchestra; Dinner music; 7, Synagogue serv- ices; 7:30, Chamber musicale.
