The fans used to cheer those plays. Tris Speaker made them all the time Mighty few you see now.” “And the reason?” Long Wallops the Reason. “Batters hit so far. That's the rea- son. An outfielder today who would try to play where I began to play would see o many balls going over his head that he would think a bad boy had cut lodse a string of toy balloons. To try to locate yourself in the way that we did ten yéars ago would mean a succession of outward sprints. That's the hardest way in which to field a fly ball.

Pierce and_Emblem Bicycles wn-b-tsm-cnmu America has at least a half dozen amateur players who are the equals of any in the world. Most of them are men hovering around the thiriy- ysar mark, but one (Hobby Jones) ix just 2 youngster, who, although he has not yet attained Bremier honofs, is almost certain to be champion within a few years. This may be Jones' year. A host of amateur play- ers hope so, at any rate A Long List of Stars. To back up Guilford, Evans, Ouimet.

Just & few of them who might be mentioned are George Von Elm of Salt Lake City; Harrison Johnston of Minne- apolis, Reginald M. Lewis of W chester, Ray Ouimet of Kansas City Francls J. Wright of Los Angeles Rudolph Knepper of Iowa and Clar- ence Wolff of St. Louis. From the present outlook of the line-up for the amateur championship the chance for the American title go- ing abroad appears to be slim. The British contingent s composed ol very fine players, any one of whom is liable to strike a streak that will cause trouble, but American golf in- dividually on home courses is apt to be just a shade better than the game played by Britishers over here. The early season reports of phe- nomenal play by youngsters is en- couraging, but seasoned golfers be- lieve the same faces will be seen in the semi-finals that have been seen in seasons past. The youngsters pro- duce a few fine rounds, but in the thirty-six-hole test steadiness is the decisive factor, and here it is that the experience of the veterans asserts itgelf, Guilford, as the reigning amateur champion, should have the call over the rest, but Bvans is playing & grand game and’ should force Guilfor they meet, to the limit. Guilford, how- ever, is reported to be at the very itop of his game, notwithstanding hi~ defeat by Reggie Lewls recently. 3 Jomes Is in the Running.
