GOLFISBETTER GAME TODAY ) HUGGINS VOTED REAL|HAMILTON IS WINNER OF GOLF | v yy ~~ Ve 4 THAN AT ANY TIME IN YEARS Despite Traditions of Ancient Game, Golf Is Continuing—Better Clubs Show Up Annually. The rute in golf that there must be no substantial de- perure from the accepted form of club has not really een encroached upon by any of the innovations of recent years. The rule was meant to prevent such departures as spring appliances or gun-like contrivances fixed in the head which would have ma mechanical operation. There is nothing mechanical about the steel shafted club, nor does it enable a player to get exceptional length. There are those high up in the af- fairs of the United States Golf Asso- elation who will admit that the Asso- ciation at present has no positive Une drawn with regard to deeply scored or punched clubs. The or- ganization 1s supposed to concur with St, Andrews which Issued an eleventh hour warning to some of the American professionals entered in the British open a few months ago, yet so far as is known nothing was done at Inwood to ascertain to what extent players there had taken \berties. Unquestionably golf is always changing, let tradition worshipers etrive as they will, and should an occasional innovation tend to make the geome a trifle easier where is the harm? Compare, for instance,,, the rubber cored balla in use today with the o!d gutty of the past, Even the old stand-patters will concede that the solid ball was hard and un- responsive and that the introduction of the lively ball has undoubtedly been a big factor in the wonderful development of the game which has been taken place during the last twenty years. A Better Game Now As to that, compare the clubs of today with those in use fifty or so years ago when the mashie made its advent and the other irons with their graded lofts to suit almost every de- scription of shot were added to the bag. Without doubt golf has thru the acquisition of these modern clubs been made considerably easier, yet for the majority of humans it is quite hard enough. On the other hand a foreign player of prominence who on occasions finds American ideas a trifle too progressive for comfort, remarks: “Obviously, however, a Iimit must be drawn in these improvement and every golfer who troubles to think what the consequences would otherwise be, agrees that St. An- drews is right in sternly rejecting at least some of them. We have seen introduced the steel shafted club, What was the object of it? To add a few yards to the length of the shot. When this type of club wag barred there was made the spliced cane shaft to achieve the same purpore as the steel one. An American had one of these bamboo shafted clubs In his bag at Troon and he expressed surprise when told he would not be allowed to use it in the championship. The very reason why he wished to play with it justi- fied its exclusion.” The foregoing is a sample of old world conservatism and naturally such reasoning will not receive much support on this side of the Atlantic. There is no substantial departure In the steel shafted o!ub and the object of the ter is not HAR STA COMBED, GLOSS “Hair-Groom” Keeps Hair Combed—Well-Groomed Millions Use It—Fine for Halrl —Not Sticky, Greasy or Smelly A few cents buys jar of “Hatr- Groom” at any drug store, which makes even stubborn, unruly or shampooed hair stay combed al! day in any style you like. “Hair-Groom” is a dignified combing cream which gives that natural gloss and well- groomed effect to your hair—that final touch to good dress both in business’ and on social occasions.

With regard to the punch- ed clubs this same British golfer says. Followed American. “The recent introduction of the punched fron marks the present day tendency. The Americans were re- sponsible for {t. In America they have heavy dews and as a result the ball fs lable to skid off the face of the club. So when the ribbed or grooved club was barred players be- gan to put a few punch marks in the face. At once it was found that theso marks with the edges left jagged stopped the ball even more effectively than the ribs. The re- sult was that they went to the full limit and punched the face of the club all over. It is not for me to say whether the Americans were right or wrong in bringing these clubs to this coun- try and using them in the tourna- ments at Leeds and St. Annes, but the fact that they did so explains why some of us followed that ex- ample. We recognized the Amer!- cans to be fine golfers against whom it would be difficult to hola our own and we felt we could not afford to give them the advantage which the punched trons conferred. So we also punched our trons. We professionals feel that the form of the club must be strictly laid down. There must be no loop- hole to allow a player to win an ad- vantage over an opponent. When the grooved club was banished Hagen amused himself by filling up the grooves with solder, and he found that he could stop the ball even better with it in this shape than when the ribs were left open. The soft metal between the ribs took the life out of the ball, All Smooth Faces. “But all these artificial aids can- not be permitted if our golf is to be saved from vandalism. Most pro- fessionals think there is only one solution of the difficulty, and that is to make the faces of all trons smooth and plain. This would, I am afraid, mean the scrapping of most of the clubs in u t the pres- ent time, but the position might be used if it were decided that this new rule should not come into operation until, say 1925. “If this were done there would be @ gradual rather than an tmmediate discarding of irons with patterns on the face. These patterns are of course innocent of purpose, but the trouble is to prevent their exagger- ation as has been done in the case of the punched club. An alternative proposed is that only the smooth face should be sanctioned in the championships. This would be eqpally effective in course of time. On the other hand, the business of St. Andrews is to legislate for the game as a whole and not for any section of it. The interest of the 18 handicap man are just as worthy of consideration as those of the scratch players or others who take part in championships. “In these circumstances it is whispered that the authorities do not intend to change the rule which bas been in force since Jock Hutchison won the championship at St. Andrews two years ago. I be- lieve, however, they admit its mean- ing can be made plainer and they probably will remodel it. But the principle which it sets up will not be changed, and so long as this can be done and {t ts made clear that the punched fron, as we know It, and every other club which strikes at the basic principles of the game, is illegal it should be satisfactory.” 7 Spee ae | SPORT BRIEFS COLUMBUS, Ga.—Joe Jacobs, manager of Mike McTigue, light heavyweight champion of the world, anounced that Georges Carpentier | of France had cabled a challenge to MeTigue for a bout to be fought in} Chicago in the near CHICAGO—Sailor Freedman of Chicago knocked out Cowboy Pad-! | gett of Colorado, welterweight in the third round of a scheduled 10- round bout at East Chicago.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK. Oct. fod Press)—In winning his third straight American League Pennant with the New York Yankees, Miller Huggins, the little manager of the team, accomplished something that should rate for him a place among the real managerial leaders of base- ball. Huggins never has been able to get the credit that he deserved for meritorious performances in the past, largely because he did not seek glory or the spotlight, and even now, when any other manager would be acclaimed for taking three Pennants tn successton the little Yank boss is still being panned. New York never has taken to Huggins and the comment is ~=still being heard that anyone ought to win a flock of pennants with a mil- lon dollar team and that the Yan kees won the pennant again this year, not because of their manager, but in spite of him. Huggins lacks the spectacular color of McGraw, he {s not a mixer lke Uncle Wilbert Robinson, he is not as picturesque as Kid Gleason and he lacks the outward qualities of leadership that are embodied in Frank Chance. He seldom deserts the darkness of the dugout and he goes about his way quietly and gets results The Yankee manager has shown no great ability as a developer of young players since he took the New York club, although he hes had part in making Ward and Meusel. But in his position no other manager would care to saddle himself with the responsibilities and gamble with young players. Developing young- sters {s a big problem. Connie Mack has failed at it for seven years and Mack has a great reputation for bringing along young players. When Huggins was given the Yanks he was commissioned to get a winner and something to compete against the Giants as an attraction. Had Huggins been the greatest mir: acle man in the world in developing young players, he could not have gotten together a pennant winning team in the short space of time de- manded by his employers. He found himself in a fortunate position where the owners were wil- ling and able to buy the players that Huggins decided would work well with his combination, Huggins at least did show some real good judgment in buying play: ers. No other great stars that Huggins let go can be found on other teams like the castoffs of the Giants in the National League. The players that Huggins disposed of never caused him a regret while those he acquired delivered for him better than they were expected to do. The smartest move made by Hug: gins was his recommendation for the purchase of Babe Ruth. The great Swat King proved a very prof- itable investment for the club own- ers after they were accused of being crazy by rival club owners for play- ing such a huge sum of money for Babe. The craftiness of the little man- ager was algo shown last winter when he secured Herb Pennock from the Boston Red Sox. His critics said he was foolish to dispose of young Murray, a promising pitcher MeMillan, a young Inflelder and other players in the deal, but those players fafled to make good with the Red Sox, and Pennock, who had been regarded as through, turn- ed out in his new uniform to be one of the best pitchers in the league. Even with a million dollars be- hind him and the permission ‘to buy and sell as the manager sees fit, it is not a cinch to go out and make no mistakes on the market. Huggins has made few mistakes in his Investments. Regardless of how he got his team together it is something for any manager in these modern days of baseball to practically cinch a pennant before the middle of the season, Maintaining discipline among the Yankee players was a job requiring the discipline of a McGraw, a Chance or a Gleason, the diplomacy of a Robinson, the tyranny of a Cobb, the patience of a Mack and a combi- nation of each. When conditions adjusted themselves so that he be- came the absolute boss of the team | Huggins got the result: No one _has been interested enough to find lout the methods, but the results have spoken for themselves. Some critics accused the Yankees |of being a dumbell club, basing their belief on the showing they made in two world’s series with the smart Giants. Perhaps Huggins himself Sport Calendar Racing.

In recent years McGraw has had the material to work with, while Huggins hasn't had an overabund- ance of brains in the material under his hands, but with what he pos- sessed he has done a very good job. In comparing Huggins and Mo- Graw, something that would be dis- tasteful to both of them, it must be admitted that they both have built teams by the generous use of cash. Over his entire career, McGraw has developed more players, but Mc Graw has always been with a club where the money was available to dig up young players and where he has had the chance to develop them after they were acquired. ——__— Club Standing National League.
