SHUT UP-NOT A WORD OUT OF YOU-GO TO YOUR ROOM ANDO DON'T THINK YOU ARE GONG TO GET OUT —By Pap HERE'S ONE CATCHER. WHO CAN HiTe X GOUL The highly dramatic life story; of Earle Sande has been put on the radio, in serial form. The first “instalment” went over so well that it seems a surprise this bright idea, in one not thought of before. It marks another step in radio’s| competition with the newspapers, particularly the syndicates which have purchased and exploited the | “bylines” of sporting celebrities, for their opinions or life stories. The dialogue or act that goes on ‘the air may call for the well-known “ghost writer,” but the original actually speaks his piece and there- by puts over the personal touch. Thus Earle Sande, in his radio life story, does some theoretical chatting of the Kentucky colonel’s favorite sport and then, in a flash- back, goes through the episode of buying his first pony in Idaho for his total financial resources of three $5 gold pieces, plus an old bicycle frame and some other Jjuvenile article. Sande has been the most versa- tile as well as most popular of mod- ern jockeys. He rode Man o' War, Zev and Gallant Fox. He can sing, play a fair game of golf and is no stranger to the microphone. Squawkers Get Tired Apparently the United States Golf association is acting on the well-known political theory that agitation, if given enough rope, will dispose of itself in the course of time. ‘Thus, it may be figured that the outcry against the ‘“balloon” golf ball will become somewhat hoarse | and discouraged by the end of the | summer, resulting in the growth of a feeling that after al, the new sphere is for the best interests of the duffers. At any rate and despite some scattered evidence of revolution in the ranks, the U. 8. G. A. will wait until all the returns are in| before taking any new measures that might add to, rather alleviate the present dissatisfaction. The less lively baseball has turn- | ed out to be an even greater suc- cess than the major league mag- nates figured. Similarly, the new golf ball, after all .the squawks Lave been tabulated, may prove to have the support of the great ma- jority of strong, silent men who seek the fairways. Say It Ain't So A California correspondent, sus- picious of easterners in general f the baseball statisticians in ular, refuse favorite major leaguer, Frankie form or another, was| than | 2s to believe that | ASSOC \T ED P| D~ JQATEDPRESS Frisch, is so far off his hitting' Istride as to be under the .300- mark. Frisch perhaps would like to be- |lieve himself that it wasn't true, but the fact is the one-time Ford- |Lam flash has been hitting about 50 points below his normal pace with the stick. The statisticans |can’s help him a bit. Here were the Cardinal second sacker’s figures, |up to July 23: Games, 82; at bat| 1820; runs, 49; hits, 87; |nits, 22; runs batted in, 36; per- | centage .272. Company Perhaps a few such additional | figures as these, picked from the | same batting list, will show Frisch isn’t alone in experiencing a sharp decline in the region of the bat- ting average: Paul Waner, Pirates . Chick Hafey, St. Louis Hack Wilson, Cubs . - Charley Gelbert, St. Louis .. Ed Roush, Cincinnati Gus Suhr, Pirates 208 .286 278 276 246 195 PAR CARD OVER THANE COURSE Is Second Time in Its His- tory Par Is Made— Gov. Parks First | For the seccia time since the Thane Golf Links were established, a par card was turned in yester- day. J. E. Barragar was the golfer to achieve the feat, and Gov. Parks is the only other player to have |gone around in par—30 strokes. Barragar yestera-y had a chance 18-inch putt on the No. 2 hole, |taking a four instead of a par three. Barragar made up his extra stroke on the sixth hole. That is a 230- yard stretch for which par is four. Jimmy holed cut there in three, one under par. of the course he was at par. On the round preceding, with the same |opponent, he had igiving him a 62 PGRRER ws We S SPECTALIZED RADIO SERVICE ¢ort Whitfield, Phone 373 2a Barragar's opponent was s.| ex. base attle; BARRAGAR GETS to set a new record, but missed an | E.
