He has cap- tured.two British open champion- ships in three years and’ finished second a third time, only one stroke separating him from Arthur Havers, winner in 1923.

If he falls to go back there is no opinion expressed because it is taken for granted that the umpire will not resume play un- til he sees that he has gone back. The pitcher cannot throw the ball until the umptre-calls play and the umpire is not supposed to call play until there is a correct situation on the bases.

At no time last year was there such a chance as there is now to humble the proud New York club. ’ The Yanks stand where they do because they were none too good on thelr trip through the west. If the west can come east and prove|_ that they can gain on their foraging expeditions, the Yanks will need all thelr strength to withstand the at- tack. The chances are that the Yanks will play better ball, not so ntuch be- cause they are-on home soll; but be- cause Ward will be back at seconil base. Ward, who Has been called the weak sister of the team, really is the backbone of the infield, which Plays ten per cent betfer ball when he isin the lineup. If the western clubs can break even with the Yanks, it is evident that New York can make no gain. It would not matter so much wheth- er it is fifty-fifty between the Yanks and each team that confronts them. The point is whether collectively the west is able to play the Yanks to a stand-off.
