FOSTER (Copyright, 1924, Denver, Post) NEW YORK, June 18,—Lou Blue, first baseman ofthe Detroit Tigers, may not know It, but he has a rival and a serious one. The rival is Johnny Neun, first. baseman of the St. Paul American Association club, and surprise package of the whole American, Association circuit. The writer first’ larnped Neun down at Atlanta, where the Georgia peach works his ball players out in the spring. He was a long legged kid then and was playing first base with his legs tangled up frightfully. “Who fs he?” Cobb was asked. “Johnny ‘Netn,” said Cobb. “Had him over in Birmingham. Looks good sometimes and I'm. wondering} if he ever will be a great batter.” Ty sent him back to Birmingham end kept on wondering. All last season he played with Birmingham. He batted 320 and got over the habit of getting his legs twisted while play- ing first base. Then Ty thought a change in climate migh* improve hin. so this season he sent him to ast. Poul. ae The change, or something, did h a world of good, for he immediately became the batting sensation of the American Association. The scouts began buzzing around and at least ten managers cast covetous eyes in Neun’s direction, but all the satisfac- tion they got was to learn that De- troit still holds him fast with an option. Neun is batting over 400. Fora time his average was away over 400 —so far over it that he could have wished he could cut off a plece, of that record and put it in cold storage against hard times, Detroit will have to take Neun on next year. He can't be kept out any longer. That is why Blue has. a rival.

As for, Quintin, he has changed hfs natural manner of mixing in such way as to make of himself less of a target for opponents. The re- sult was a crouch which was ef- fective in Saving him a lot of punish- ment but at the same time made St difficult for him to shoot his own punches, especially his right. Stoessel injured his hand, his right, when it collided with the top of Romero's hard head instead of his jaw. This happened in the fourth round and thereafter Joe had but one hand to use.

Is the bat- ter safe or not? The umpire cal'ed him safe. It cost us the game 6 Greensboro High. ER—If the umpire was sure the ball was firmly held by the first baseman he could render such a decision. Of course, the first base man must pick up the ball cleanly from the ground and the umpire should watoh for that.

NEW YORK, June 20.—(United Press.)—Although Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Ga., ‘tailed to defend suc- cessfully at Oakland Hills the open golf title he won xt Inwood the year before. the, young Amateur needs no apologists. In the first place, he made a gal- lant fight of it and finished second, His golf that first day, with a raw wind roistering over hill and valley, Was argreat exhibition of gameness. Time and again he was fn trouble, only to come through with gallant recoveries, and at the end of the day was leading the field, tied with BH! Mehlhorn. In he second place, the open crown {s one of those ephemeral things that rests none too easy on any golfer's brow—as uncertain as @ crown of one of those little Balkan monarchies. And, in the third place, not for 12 years has a champion’ success- fully defended the honor. Back in 1912, the veteran J. J. McDermott, who had won the open ths ‘year previous, fought through the field to capture it again. And his_performance was even more re- marl because in 1910 he had mtd for'the championship, onty to, loge out In the play-off. Walter Hagen is the only golfer sirice McDermotts regime to claim a pair of victories, one of his coming in-1914 and’the other in 1919. Since McDermott's day no cham- pion has held his title two successive years. Bobby Jones just went the way of all golfers. eee Probably no golfer ever entered a national open championship under @ greater, mental handicap than Bill. Mehthorn, Missour! pro, bore Bin wi his way to Detroit from St. Louis when the train in which he was riding was wrecked with a loss of 13 lives. Most of the dead were taken from coaches | im- mediately in front of that in which Mehlhorn was asleep. He spent the night amidst the ghastly glare of torches, a member of the rescue squad. which took screaming, mu- tilated -victims from the shattered cars, and finally arrived'in Detroit in fine shape for a golf tournament. Yet the end of the first day's play found Mehlhorn tied with Bobby Jones, leading the field with a score of 147, He had played smooth, un worried golf throughout. The next day he took 76-78 and finished third. eee When one stops to figure the thing out, it may be that the terrible experience of that night of the train wreck, so -affected Mehlhorn—as it would any of us—that he became immune to the ordinary strain of an open champlonship. That would be something for a psychoanalyst to figure out. Ordl- marily, the nervous tension of the open {3 tremendous, and good golf- @ré crack and do all sorts of things that must make their patron Saint Andre over in his* sandy grave. | Now, if it were possible to treat those golfers who are most affetted by..the strain, inoculate: them fgainst nervousness, as it were, they could shoot their best game with never a care or a thought of how important it ‘all was. Something of the sort may have happened to Mehlhorn. The ro action from, his wreck experience took uy so much of his nervousness that there was none left for worry: ing about how his golf game would at Oakland Hills this year. gO.

As a quartette the western clubs played at a .475 wait, their performance being brough up to that mark by the pers formance of the Chicago Cubs. ‘Tho Cubs played at a .714 gait.
