SECOND GUESSING = BASEBALL 5y BRIAN BELL (ASEOCIATED PRESS SPORTS WRITER) AMERICANS HAVE MORE TITLES THAN BRITISH In’one respect at least the invading American golfers will have a decided edge in the approaching British title events. The visitors will have more champions and former champions than the home forces. Walter Hagen, defending champion in the British open, is accom- panied by Johnny Farrell, open champion of the United States, and Leo Diegel, P. G. A. and Canadian champion. Former open champions of the United States in the United States invaders are Tommy Armour, and Gene Sarazen and Jim Barnes has held both United States and British open titles. George Von Elm, former amateur champion of the United States, will have a try at the British open, and Glenha Collett, women's cham- pion of the United States, and Marion Hollins, former ehampion, wil seek the elusive British women's title. The runners-up in title events in the field in Great Britain are numerous. . SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE HOLDS PLACE In spite of the charge of over emphasis, spring football is sharing the innings with baseball teams in most colleges and universities. Some of the prospective stars of next autumn will be busy for weeks. After a few days to get winter kinks out of their muscles a number of elevens are scrimmaging. No football” coach will take a good man from another sport to practice for football, sepecially the so-called “contact games” but all of them want big squads. The players to be lost by graduation in June must be replaced and there will not be time enough when practice begins in earnest in September. . There are many more pleasing ways of spending spring afternoons than being hurled to the ground by an ambitious football rival but the college boys did not seem to object. For many of them it will be time well spent. They will pave the way to recognition next season and many a “Y,” “X” or “Z" to be awarded eight months hence will be won in the next few weeks. i RUTH CHANGED TACTICS WHEN HE CAME HOME Skipping from one city to another throughout the South and West, Babe Ruth drew the fans by the thousands to the Yankee exhibition games and showed them a lot of singles and doubles when they were crying for home runs. The big fellow was hitting the ball into. left field and while his batting average was around .400, his home run record was “one,” until he reached the confines of Greater New York. Then he hit two in one game against Brooklyn. Whether the great slugger forgot his campaign to hit 400 or more by placing his hits on the style of Willie Keeler, or abandoned it in the enthusiasm of get- ting home, may not be known for several weeks. Tbz chances are that he will hit a number of home runs for the American league record. Newport courts to the college SH' SEATTLE P teams. The date of the tourna- ment has not yet been fixed.
