F abound on the course of the Col championship of the United S clusive. There is not a weak hole on BY W. R. McCALLUM. EATURE 'holes or holes that call for all that is best in the player umbia Country Club, where the open tates will be played July 19-22, in- the course, according to prominent professional golfers who have played at Columbia during the past year. ‘What small weaknesses there might eleventh holes, now are being eradic time _the first of July rolls around. * Prized Above Others by Babe;: » to decid " ing Ruth with a couple of runners on ‘drawn to the Polo Grounds with a Perhaps the strongest hole on tl have been, notably in the fifth and ated and will not be noticed by the he course—certainly the one which stands out most prominently in the mind of the visiting player, whether amateur or professional, is the fourte enth, with the fifteenth running it a close; second for attractiveness and general difficulty. The Columbia course runs to dog- leg holes, there being six holes which come within that category on the Jinks. The fourteenth probably is the one which will bring out the best qualittes in the players in the com- ing open championship. The hole as it will be played during the open is not of great length, being only about 425 yards, nothing out of the ordinary as a two-shotter to play- €Ts of first rank, such as will compete in the championship. The big fea- 1ures of the hole, however, lie in the fact that both shots must be placed With the most unerring accuracy, par- ticularly the second shot. There are endless possibilities for trouble at the fourteenth, and while it will be a relatively ‘easy 4 if both shots are played correctly, there also is a good chanace for a 6 or 7 on the players card if either the tee shot or second #hot goes wrong. Must Drive to Top of Hill The tee shot must carry 170 yards from a long and deep tee 20 yards back of the present tee to a certain Spot on top of a hill overlooking the green. If it does not reach this spot, certainly a shot worthy only of a master golfer is needed to reach and Stay on the putting green. Granted a 220-yard drive in the proper place and & finely played midiron or jigger sec- ond shot, there should be no difficulty in securing the par 4. But there is ample trouble for the player who misses his tee shot in the slightest degree. If the ball is topped it is al- | most sure to find a ditch 100 yards in | front of the tee. If it has good carry, | but is sliced. it either finds a bunker or high rough grass, from which it is almost impossible to reach the green. A hooked tee shot will find major difficulty In very high grass bordered by a strip of trees and shrubbery. Even when the player hits a fine tee shot 220 vards to the top of the hill, he then has a very delicate second shot to. reach the putting surface. His pitch must be high. with plenty of drag. for the. ball must almost nec- essarily hit on the green if it is to remain there. On both sides of the green there are high banks, dropping some twenty feet below the surface of the green and nicely carpeted with Tough grass and weeds. Back of the i i of that, to prevent the player from 8oing too strong, is the railroad track that has spoiled many a good score both 4t this hole and the seventeenth. The hardest part of the pitch lies in the fact that a ball struck to the {lcm and short of the green hits on hard knob just in front of the green and is very likely to kick far down the hill to the right, while a ball played slightly to the left also Ruth’s Home Run Off Johnson : hits a knob that breaks down & hill to the left. All in all, the four- teenth is a very strong hole and one that many a pro in the coming championship_ will be very glad to have behind him. Travis Praises 15th Hole. The fifteenth has been charac- terized by- Walter J. Travis as one of the finest holes in the United States, and now that the green has been raised a few feet is much im- proved. This hole also is a dog-leg proposition, calling for an accurately placed tee shot to the top of a hill, leaving a pitch of about 150 yards to an elevated green facing the play- er. There is a short cut to the left, but the man who avoids trouble in taking this short cut is more fortu- nate than otherwise. A ball hooked slightly to the left of the fairway finds a deep bunker, and a ball sliced to the right is in high grass or in a bunker, from which it is impossi- ble to reach the green, while an overstrong. tee shot is very likely to find a _hanging lie on a hillside 240 yards from the tee. Therefore a ball placed about 220 yards from the tee is in the proper place and gives the player a good view of the green. With ‘the second shot, however, the difficulties are increased. In the first place, a five-foot ditch filled with water must be carried. The ditch runs to the left of the green and within twenty yards of it. A ball landing on the green itself will stay there, but if it goes over there is in- finite” possibility for travel, for a shallow ditch parallels the west or right side of the green. which is raised about five feet at the back. The player who obtains the par of 4 is entitled to it on this Hole. Ted Ray, the open champion, took the short cut to the left in a match last year at Columbia and found trouble. finally winding up with a2 6 on his card and eliminating him from a chance at the prize money for the blesg round put up by @ member of the club. Professionals in the coming open championship will do well to follow the straight and narrow path at the fifteenth and make every effort to reach the hole by the dog-leg route rather than by cutting the corner to the left. There are so many strong holes on the Columbia course that it is very difficult to pick out any one hole that overshadows the others in point of strength. The new fifth and twelfth probably will bother the players in the open more than any others, with the exception of the fourteenth and fifteenth. They will be discussed in another article. . BY BILLY HAT was the most remarkabl perform last season? That \\ ‘cracking Ruth out fifty-four home runs. seen him crash out homers with th some terrific wallop that broke up an classify either as the most remark: season. I think the most unusual batting performance by Ruth last season didn’t come with the bases filled or break up an extra inning game. It was made at the expense of Howard Ehmke, one of the best pitchers in the American League. It was a home run wallop, but jt didn’t compare with any number of circuit swats that I saw Ruth make last summer, in dis- .tance or in value. It was the condi- tiol under which Ruth made his home run that made the hit stand out as his best performance of the sea- son. Rathk Jiax to Ehmke. Ruth, in a way, has always been a 3inx to Ehmke. Several times the De- roit pitcher appeared to have the Yankees beaten last season, when Ruth, with a couple men on, would hit out a homer that would change everything. Past experience _had made Ehmke cautious when Ruth came to the bat. 1 can see a good reason. perhaps, for purposely pass- and the game close. That is consid- | ered good base ball, regardless of how distasteful it may be to fandom. How- ever. I can see no reason why a piteher should purposely pass Ruth WIth the bases empty, and particular- 1y s0 with two out. In the game to which I refer, Ehmke started his passing tactics in the first inning. Possibly he was working under orders, because on his irst trip to the plate, Ehmke threw| four balls so wide Ruth would have | needed a bat almost twice as long as| the one he uses to get a real swing | at them. The bases were empty, | neither side had scored, and there was no reason for such a safety-first idea. About 25,000 fans were in attendance, and a good portion of them had been hope of secing Ruth crash out a| homer or two. Naturally the crowd Fissed Ehmke when he walked Ruth intentionally. Tn that game Ehmke threw just one | ball in Ruth's five trips to the plate ' that came up to the specifications of a strike. That one pitch was just above the knee and over the inside corner of the plate. With a regular golf stroke Ruth sent the only good pitch of the afternoon far up into the sec- ond tier of the right field stands. Every other ball that Ehmke pitched | was o called by me. Thus Ruth, in| his only chance offered, delivered a home run. It was the only ball at ‘which he swung. That is some aver- age, one fairly good strike to swing at and one perfectly good home run the result. Ehmke was much twitted*about his safety first tactics. It sort of got under his skin. At few weeks later new York was playing in Detroit. Up 1o the seventh inning Detroit was leading 2 to 1 because of Ehmke's fine pitching. With one on_and two out, Ruth came to bat. It would have been good base ball to pass him. ¥hmke, instead, worked on him, made him foul off one and miss another. ‘With the count 2 to 2, he made one of his curves too good. and Ruth hit the ball into the right ficld bleachers, winning the game, 3 to 2. Verily, Mr. Ruth is a dangerous individual at the bat. Clout Of Johnson Pleases. If you should ask Ruth what he re. garded as his best performance at the bat last season probably wouldn't consider the incident I have men- sioned, A heme TuRn in the life of close of the 1920 campaign, EVANS. e feat of hitting you saw Babe Ruth query has been put to me since the when Ruth broke all records by pulled so many unusual batting feats last summer it is difficul le which bit of slugging was the most extra hare ordinary. "I have I have marveled at ame. Yet I wouldn’t ormed by Ruth last e bases filled. extra inning able feat perf Babe Ruth is nothing. As a m e ng. A atter on days he fails to clout out @ homer he is surprised and disgusted. However, to me, the making of a home run on the only good ball pitched to him in the game was a remarkable feat. I finished the sea- son with the New York club last year as Ruth was piling up his home-run record. Babe hit a terrific home run at the Polo Grounds. It was one of those hits they are still talking about, far up into the right fleld bleachers. 1 was working the bases and as Ruth passed me at first base at the close of the inning on his way to the outfield I remarked: “That was some wallop, Babe. When I heard the crack of the bat I knew the ball was on a long journey.” “Yes. it did sound pretty fair,” re- plied Ruth ,“but not half so good as a ball I hit off Walter Johnson. I have been trying to make a home run off Johnson for a couple of years, and I want to say no crack of the bat ever soundefl 50 sweet as the day 1| g hit that homer off Walter. 1 was so tickled I just stopped dead on the base lines and watched the ball ght.” So, if you should ask Babe what was the greatest thing he did in the hitting line last year, he will prob- ably reply, “Making a home run off ‘Walter Johnson.” (Copyright, 1921.) Plays That Puzzle “=—e=mBY BILLY EVANSemmemenl! Plays in which the batsman inter- feres with the catcher always are trouble makers. In a minor league game last summer the umpire was twice forced to rule against the same player. In each case the interference was identical, yet the ruling differ- ent. In the' second inning with one out and a runner on first, the runner started to steal second. The catcher called for a pitch-out. As he started his throw the batter managed to poke him with his bat in such a way that his throw went wild and the runner went to third. The umpire called the batsman out and sent the runner back to first. In the seventh inning, with a runner on third and one out, the squeeze play was put on. Again the catcher called for a pitch-out. The patsman failed to bunt the ball, but 50 interfered with the catcher in mak- ing a play at the plate that the run- ner crossed the plate before being touched. In this case the umpire called the runner out. Thus on iden- tical plays two different rulings were made. Was the umpire right? Umplire Was Correct. The_umpire was right in each rul- ing. When the batter interfered, with the catcher, with a runner stcaling second, the batsman was out under the rules and the runner was sent back to first. When the batsman in- terfered with a play at the plate when @ runner from third {s trying to score the penalty is made all the more se- vere by kiiling the chance of the team at the bat to score the run by declar- ing the runner out. —_— Play Tie at Hockey.

I keen and bowlers are expected to night. Besides money prizes, “hou other useful articles will be offered t Three-ball tournaments always have been enjoyable affairs for Wash- ington bowlers. In this form of com- petition the average bowler is usual- ly as successful as his more accom- plished opponent. Regular tenpins are the targets, but duckpin balls are used to topple the maples. The jobject is to amass the greatest total in three frames. rolling but one bal in each. While 30 is a perfect score— strikes counting only 10—a perfect {game never has been recorded here. Getting three stralght strikes is more difficult with the big pins and little | balls than with the ducks. The contest Wednesday will be open to all bowlers of the city, and an entrant may roll as often as He pleases. only requisite is that |he turn in 25 cgnts for each three frames. As an added Inducement, the Sherman management will pre- sent to each bowler scoring & frame of 10 a pound box of chocolate bonbons, even though the bowler's total count does not bring him into the regular prize list. Among the men who Will take the trip to Roanoke next Friday night are Pop Halley, Harry Krause, Doc Shade, Marvin Mark, Andy Goddard, Skinny Carroll and his father, Buek Oliveri, Earl Lewis, Glen Wolsten- holme, Six Brewer, Henry Rodier and John Reed. Pop 'Halley’s return fo bowling form has been the cause of considerable comment. Pop threatens to replace the first bowler on ‘the Royal team that “wobbles” next Sat- urday at Roanseke. Tuesday night the Royals will roll |in the District League at Sherman's alleys, and Henry Rodier, manager of the intercity match, requests the presence of all those ‘contemplating taking the trip to Roanoke. He must have time to obtain railroad accom- modations for the party. Diamonds are as high in the Mount Pleasant League as they are else- where. The brilliant quint is setting the pace for the other bowlers in the circuit with 40 victories in 51 games, according to the last sta- tistics issued by the league's secre- tary. The Mount Pleasants are in second position with 33 wins against 16 defeats and the Senecas third with 34 won and 17 lost. Orioles, Barker Bakery, Regulars, New Col Crescents, Cliftons and Young Men's Shops follow in the order named. Maize of the Senecas holds two records. He has rolled a set of 414 and a game of 176. H. Campbell, a Diamond bowler, has the highest average, 110-35 for 48 games, and he leads at spare making with 120. Downing of the Cliftons has 25 strikes to his credit. The New Cols have established the best team game mark at 600, and the Diamonds the team set at 1,647. Other team leaders besides Camp- bell, with their averages, are Cha- conas, Mount Pleasant: 109-6; Walker, Senecas. 103-26; Matlack, Orioles, 106-44; Kamm, Barker Bak- ery, 104-36; J.

Loeffler of Eastern has established two records for the Odd Fellows' League. He has smashed the little pins for a_game of 158 and has made a set of 377. His average of 104-11 for 19 games is topped however, by Megaw of Mount Pleas ant, who leads with 106-17 for 45 games. F.

BY H. C. BYRD. EORGIA Tech, furnish oppo. G Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Princeton will on for local colleges this week in what should be the most important series of basket ball games staged here the Maroon and since the season opened. In fact, the next six days will comprise a ban- ner week for .the indoor sport, as Georgetown, Catholic University, George Washington and Gallaudet are to play a total of ten games. Three to be played by Gallaudet are on foreign floors. First of the strong quints to come here wlill be Georgia Tech, as it appears against Georgetown in the Ryan gymnasium tomorrow night. Following the contest on Hilltop, the Atlanta five remains here for a day to meet Catholic University at Brook- land Tuesday evening. The Georgians are said to have an exceedingly capa- ble squad and surely, if their basket ball men measure up to the standard of their performers on the gridiron, Georgetown and C. U. are going to have their troubles. If the St. John's of Brooklyn quint is not stronger than was indicated at its poor show- ing against Georgetown, Catholic U. ought to have rather an easy time disposing of it tomorrow night at Brookland while Georgia Tech and Georgetown are battling. Two Games Tuesdny Night. ‘While Georgia Tech is playing its last engagement here Tuesday night with C. U., Gerge Washington will be entertaining a strong foe in Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute. The Blacksburg basketers are on a rather long trip and have been successful.: At Richmond Wednesday night they | C., at| defeated the Church Hill A. Baltimore Thursday night won easily from Baltimore Collegiate Stars, and Friday night treated West Virginia University to a beating at Morgan- town by 37 to 24.

The first game is to be played at Ursinus, the second. Friday night, at Temple University in Phila- delphia, and the third at Fordham, . Y., Saturday night. Two more games are listed the next week in New York, the New York Silents on Monday, February 20, and St. John's of Brooklyn, February 21. One game is “scheduled here Thursday night, Marietta College being listed at Georgetown. Saturday night will mark the sec- ond appearance of the C. U. of the year on its home floor against one of the big univereflies, when its players walk out to measure strength with Princeton. No doubt a big crowd will journey to Brookland that night. as even more persons are expected to attend than watched the game with Pennsylvania. And in all prob- ability if local basket ball followers had thought that C. U. would make as good showing as it did, many more would have gone then. Georgetown and George Washing- ton are scheduled to play their sec- ond game Saturday night, and the Hatchetites say that they will make a much better showing than they: did when Georgetown won on the; Hilltop. The contest is scheduled for the Coliseum floor. There was some talk of a postponement, but Bryan Morse, coach of G. W.. stated last night the game would be played.

George Washington plans to_put six or eight men in the Johns Hop- kins and_Catholic University indoor meets. The Hatchetites have not done as’ much in track sports this winter as they had hoped to, but have Rept a small squad in training. About the best of the men who are to be entered in open competition are Manson, Paul Loehler and Moyle in the 440, and Peake and Hobson in the 880 and mile. Paul Loehler was a member of Tech's relay four and Moyle and Manson ran for West- ern last year. Downes, former Gallaudet pitcher, has been signed to play with Fred- erick, in the Blue Ridge League. Catholic University is due to have in its indoor meet ‘one of the best athletes South Africa has produced, if plans of the athlete are not altered. Announcement was made several days ago by Norman Rankow, stellar athletic product of Johannesburg, South Africa, that he intends to_com- pete in the Brookland meet. He is one of the best all-round athletes ever developed in South Africa, hav- ing records of 101-5 for the 100 yards, 152-5 for the 120-yard high hurdles, 23 feet 6 inches for the broad jump, 5 feet 3% in the high jump, and, besides that, is a foot ball and cricked player and boxer of mote.

Dr. John Shugrue, Dr. Joseph McCarthy, Dr. John Saul and Fred Stohlman will compose the commit- tes. Main efforts of the committee are to be directed toward the ar- rangement of a better list of games in foot ball. University of Maryland has organ- ized a rifie club and expects shortly to arrange for matches with other universities. Several members of the team formerly were members of high school rifle teams in Washington. University of Maryland is having a hard time getting a schedule for its freshman foot ball team. It seems that the local high schools are mot very anxious to meet the Maryland | youngsters, as Tech is the only one lof the five which has accepted a igame. Army and Navy preps is the jonly other Washington eleven due to stack up against the College Park first-year class. The games the !freshman eleven went through last i fall when they scored more than {140 points and were not scored against does not mean that the freshman team next fall will be strong, as necessarily the squad will be composed of entirely different men. An attempt is being made to list two or three of the smalier col- leges for games. Washington Col- lege already has been scheduled, and the season will be closed with that school November 19 at Chestertown. Georgetown is planning to get Dan O'Connor, whom Coach Exendine rated as one of the best linemen he ever saw, to come back to help coach next fall. O'Connor should make a mighty good man to help Exendine, especially in demonstration work. HAVE YOU TRIED ONE LATELY ?
