DADDY! MOTHER HAD BEEN WORKING ALL DAY- SHE SAYS B AND TIREO -\WY DON'T You GOt TALK TO aia_jh_ SHED WEAK N AND HERE “YOU' WHERE ARE You GONG? OF- I'™M GONNA ROUN DOWN- TOWN FOR AWHILE - HERE,YOL BIG ELEPHANT- Crowd psychology is one of the strangest factors in sport. The razzberries from a boxing | crowd are a part of the game. The vocal chorus from the bleachers at a ball game is an institution. “So long as they pay their money at the gate, the fans are entitled to yell their heads off,” a famous ball player said to me omce. “I am never bothercd by what the crowd does unless somebody hap- pens to get a little too personal. | | All the razz otherwise rolls off me like so much water on a duck’s back. The cheers are the same. i boys who are for you ome day are against you the next.” The rauccus cry of the disap- pointed gambler of the leather- lung is taken for granted in pro- fessional sport. It is only recent- 1y that the more fashionable games of polo, tennis and golf, attracting an cver-growing public interest, e had to contend with the el ment of crowd psychology and re- | action. £ Golf is among the last to feel a break in the barriers of etiquett: and decorum. Golf crowds ha been difficult to control 'but the | hostility displayed by the galleries | of Pebble Beach toward one of the | finalists, Dr. Oscar Willing, was‘; something new, something of a shock—all because more pnrtisan‘ onlookers disliked the doctor’s un- willingness to concede short putts | or his habit of standing nearby when an opponent was in trouble or a bunker. The trend, however, seems clear. Forest Hills has seen the tennis galleries become more partisan as | the game has drawn greater pub- | lic interest. Apparenfly golfers | now must gird themselves for the same reaction—for the jeers as well as the cheers. “This business of needing silence or freedom from any disturbing | factor in playing golf shots is large- | ly a matter of habit,” one of the| contestants at Pebby Beach said. “Players in other sports have drill- cd themselves to ignore the crowds and so can golfers. It may never come to this point but we may as well be prepared some day to shoot while some partisans are yelling at us to ‘miss it” or ‘sock it into the bunker, you big stiff’” Stranger things than that have happened. When ten thousand people or more become sufficiently interest- <d in golf to gallop all over a cham- pionship course, blistering their feet, jostling and perspiring for the sake of seeing the stars make their shots, some play for the emotions may as well be expected. Even the polite traditions of the royal and ancient game cannot quite control outbursts of partisanship under such circumstances. The “razz’ may not be sportsmanlike but it appar- ently has come to stay and develop in American sport, so long as the big ballyhoo keeps up. - — WESTERN LEAGUE WILL RETAIN ITS CIRCUIT KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2f—The eight clubs which finished the 1929 Western League season will form the circuit next year, club own- ers decided at a meeting here. Dale Gear, president, said neith- er Oklahoma City nor Tulsa asked to withdraw that they might join the Texas league. “The attendance in several cities in the loop was not as good as it was in the past, but we have de- cided to stick it out,” Mr. Gear said.

REITINGER (A. P. Staff Writer) PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.—Had Tennyson i:ved in the days of Con- nie Mack he could have applied the words of his song of the brock “for men may come and men may go, but I go on forever,” to the tall and slender tutor of the Phila- delphia Athletics. No manager in baseball has been the directing head of a team as lopg as the Philadelphian, nor has any manager been the guiding gen- ius of one team as long as this mas- ter of the national game. Only a little more than three years short of the Biblical three score and ten, this veteran of the ball and bat keeps everlastingly at it, developing finished ball players from the raw material, . worrying other managers, and winning pen- nants. Connie Mack, whose name was whittled down from Cornelius Mc- Gillicuddy by the, hard working sports writers in the dawn of mod- ern baseball, will be 67 years old in December. He has no thought of quitting the game. Every once in a while he is asked when he is going to retire and replies he has no present intention of so doing. Recently he said he would leave the bench only when his health fails and there is no present sign of such an unfortunate happening.
