Boomer played great golf to lose to Johnny | Farrell. Compston leads the British profesisonals for the time being, | at least. | In addition to the British pros reelected, the 1927 team included ! Ted Ray, who succeeded to the captaincy when sickness forced Abe Mitchell to 1emain at home; Arthur Havers, no longer available; Fred Robscn, Herbert Jolly and George Gadd. | The 1927 team for the United States consisted of Walter Hagen,| i captain; Johnny Farrell, Leo Diegel, Gene Sarazen, Al Watrous, Joe Turnesa, Bill Mehlhorn and John Gelden. Al Espinosa was on the | team but did not get into the play. Hagen will captain the team again, thanks to a graceful gesture by Leo Diegel, the P. G. A. champion, and a majority of the team of two years ago, will again be enlisted for the golf wars with a possible ad- dition or two. A good guess is that one of the members will be Horton Smith, ‘the young Joplin pro, who has been making the going rough for his fellow pros across the continent during the winter sea- son. As was the case in 1927, the team from the United States will be restricted to home-breds, golf professionals born outside the United States not being eligible. 4 ANOTHER EX-PITCHER MAY COME THROUGH Secrétary James J. Tierney of thegNew York Giants was opening the baseball club’s mail. “Well, well, what do you know about that?” he said as he placed an official looking letter on top of the one he had just opened, which was just as official in appearance. The two letters contained signed contracts, one from Tony Kauff- man, the former Cub pitcher who now signs his name as an oumelder.I and the other from Melvin Ott, veteran big leaguer, aithough a child in years, who broke into the fastest baseball company from a Louisi- ana high school team. The “well, well” from Secretary Tierney may have been short for “well done” distributed equally with a “well” to each of the two out- fielders or he may have been thinking that the same mall brought contracts of two players who may divide one field between them. Manager McGraw is understood to he cinsidering a plan ot let Ott play when right handers pitch against the Giants and Kauffman do the chores when a lefthander is representing the opposition. ott always could hit and Kauffman batted arbund .400 for Rochester last year, £ BROUGHT UP ON BASEBALL Ralston Hemsley, 21-year-old catcher of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who probably will be of great assistance to Charlie Hargreaves behind the bat for the Buccaneers in the approaching season, is something of a child prodigy. At the tender age of 14 he forced his way into the lineup of a semi-pro team managed by his father at Syracuse, Ohio, was graduated from the sand lots to professional baseball by joining’ the Frederick team of the Blue Ridge league when he was 17 and crashed into the majors at 20. His first acquaintance with curve balls is said to have- dated back to the time when he was 12. His father, the semi-pro manager, took the position that anyone could catch fast balls, so when he pitched | to the youngster in the back yard he threw curves. The boy probably saw more hooks in the yard at his home fhan he has seen since he became a big leaguer. { HORSE BOLTS TRACK TO NIBBLE AT GRASS, HENCE THE BLINKERS Grefswald University, which dates from 1456, was the first to make this concession to the modern sporting spirit.
