W he When not pi began jile at Colum- rred on hing, he was because of his ability to hit. for a few days back in 1923, he was a big husky fellow who showed promise, but was very green. He {was sent to Hartford for seasoning. Playing about half the season in Hartford, he batted better than .300. The following season he hit .369, and appeared ready the close of the minor league race, the he used in 10 james by the Yankees and batted an even .500.

A free swinger like Ruth, Gehrig strikes out considerable, Often he looks foolish on a certain style ball only to come buck and same delivery out of the park on the very next pitch. As is customary, southpaws dur- ing the early stages of his career, gave him plenty of trouble. How- ever, he has gradually overcome this weakness, so that he now hits them almost as vonsistently as the right- handers, A change of pace always troubles the free swinger, who has a stance that is best for speed. Gehrig, for a time, had his troubles with’ the : stuff, but he has practically reome it. A Finished Hitter ing. polished up his faults, Gehrig is now a finished hitter of great power, who constantly rivals Ruth for distance, Last season Gehrig ranked next to Ruth in total bases and while he only made 16 home runs, he had 47 doub- les and 20 triples. During the first 20 games of this year, Gehrig has made seven home runs, practically half as many as he made in 155 games last year. He hopes to make 40 this season, and, if he keeps up his great start, should be able to do it. PORT LANTS By Alan|J. Goulds Associated Press Sports Editor.

Starting sensationally with a birdie three, Haley had England’s great man of golf struggling all the way, but struggling heroically and magnificently, winning holes or get= ting halves and staving off the vie- tory which seemed certain for the American at the 16th, But the American lost his advantage by loose putts, while Tolley sank long ones. Match Square at 18th The match was square at the 18th tee, and as word went around the course that Tolley was in danger, the crowd trooped in to see the finish. Both Tolley and , Haley had bad lies from their drives, Tolley sent his second over the green into a thistle patch, dangerously near the fence, while Haley’s was on the edge of the green. Tolley played his difficult shot well and the ball came to rest six feet beyond the pin. Haley’s chip was four fect from the cup. Tolley studied the line of the putt seriously and lengthily, but missed by an inch. Haley — quietly and. confidently stepped up and tapped his in. Haley, hitherto unknown to cham- pionship golf either in England or Ameriea, has been in England eight months, ‘attending a technicak school in London.
