This attitude gave it a clearly recognized superiority over its then rival, the American Association. The latter was preached against, lectured against and written azainst, all to the advantage of the National League. The National League, sup- ported by an element which admired it for its conservatism, was so ultra conservative that the sandlotters poked fun at it When the Ame to bid for re place of the mo sociation, there we ball men wh 25 the Ame National Le Inaug can League began ition, taking the und re comp: an As. still many base ed the leagues ation and the n compared. base ball * because of al- business ex neies wag €p down from its high pi &) by the National circuit. This cost the 1 gue much of its conservative east- rn support. and marked the begin- ning of a letting down of the by western clubs to ball lot uses which were not as elevating leged Puts Ban on'Boxing. When prizefighting began in 1923 on the grounds of the two New York clubs opposition bubbled to the wrr- face in both leagues. As a matter of fact, two-thirds of the owners think base ball is far above boxing in_ethfts. Realizing this, and figuring that they have a Yery good grip at pres- €nt on the New York situation,.the American League owners, with Pres- ident Johnson, are playing for the hold on the affections of the New York public ~ which the National league once had. And they are working their cards very shrewaly. The world series demonstrated con- ditions that the American League folks were not sure existed, and proved to them tendencies of faith in iheir administration which warrant- ed the announcement—as the first note from the big base ball organ— that American Leagus playing fields would shelter no more prize fights. In other words, the American League has moved up in high-Brow row. That is some flop in base ball history in twenty-three years, but it is only the beginning. There are more moves to 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS IN GOLF MIGHTY HARD TO RETAIN BY FAI OLF championships are quee detached. They have no lo; G flat. . Gene Sarazen, fairly bubblir}g over with gratification, related how he strived all his life to win a championship, and copped it at his majority. And then his championship got miffed and went home. Jess Sweetser never said much 1922, but, as in the case of the other golf is a fickle thing. In golf, everything is up to the in- dividual. A championship may de- pend on his mood the day in question, but everything centers around him. A base ball team can have a man who is faltering and manage, by the co- operation of the other eight players, to win & game. This is characteris- tie, too, of foot ball; in fact, of all team matches. But in golf the indi- vidual who plays for a title must not only be at his best to be sure of him- self, but a little better than his best. It he finds others off their game while he is in top form he may win. But if the others are at top form his play must excel all standards it he is to win. Not Up to Form. When. Sarazen lost his title no one said that he was not in form, yet judging by results he was not. If he Wwere mot, there has been ‘a Temark- able improvement in a lot of golfers since 1922. Hagen, in losing at Troon, may not have been at top form. Sara- zen cortainly did not play as well over there as in the United States. Hagen, however, was nct far from his best form. -The match was so close that form had little to do with it: No great amount of form hangs llmgly around any match which is decided by a single shot. The point is that individual golf honors are, if anything, harder to re- tain than individual honors in other sport. The tennis enthusiast may hold otherwise, but he cannot deny that he plays always on a court of unvarying smoothness and firm- ness and learns to gauge his .shots with certainty. ‘The billiard player has the sare advantage. + _The golfer does not have it.

EW YORK, October 27.—Establishifient of a training schoeol for promising young base ball players from the sandlots and college diamonds was proposed today by John A. Heydler, president of the National League, in a statement declaring he believed little would be gained by resumption of draft relations between the majors and big minors. President Heydler also declared against the excessive prices that numerous minor league stars have brought, asserting that the investments had brought comparatively little return.and. pointing out that better results were being obtained by the majors through development of their players from sandlot and college material. A training school, he added, with old major leaguers as instructors, would afford an ideal method of givifig preliminary development to budding stars. Presldsnt Heydler's statement was prompted by the recent proposal of a $10.000 draft price limit for players from class AA league, which will be laid before the Pacific Coast League at its annual meeting next month. The proposal Is nterpreted as a com- promise move toward re-establishing draft relations with the majors. The Facifc Coast iz one of Ave big minor leagues Which do not recognize the draft system. The others are the American Association, International, ‘Western and Three-Eye leagues. Do Not Need Minors, “The majors are getting along all right without the draft” President Heydler declared. “They thought at first they couldn’t, but they have found that they can. They are de- veloping their own men. It is proving the best way, after all. Who were the two great outstanding stars of the recent world series? “Frisch and Dugan. Both of them came direct to major league company from college base ball diamonds, cost- ing little or nothing. They were trained and developed by major man- agers from major league benches and on major league diamonds. They were natural players, and so a few years of tutelage' and practice were enough. ‘Go back over the records and you will find that most of the great play- ers of the game came direect to the major_leagues from college or from town lot or with but negligible minor league training. They include Horns- by, from Denison, Tex.; Walter John- son, from Idaho; Eddle Collins, from Columbia; Matthewson, from Buck- nell, and Babe Adams from Parsons, Kai ‘What is the proportion of A and double A minor league stars who have lived uyp to thelr minor league repu- tations' and played up to the fabu- lous gflfl‘l paid for them in recent years? It {s so small that it would amaze you. And most of these minor league stars who have made good had to be trained for years. Yet the minors price their untested stars $50,000 to $100,000 each and will taki no 'less. - Out of a dozen bought in the last three years at these prices the actual® return on the investment has been disappointingly small. .

In’ +let both a plan would lift the standards of the game higher still. “The past season showed Improve- ment in class of major league play. ‘We accomplished it by training our men and buying but few expensive and alleged double A stars, We have shown that this can be done.

This curve te the right may come quickly in the ball's flight or it may take place at_the far end of the filght. A ball that curves to the right slightly, them drops, at the end of its flight is called “fade-away,” and used to ad. vantage by many good golfers. ‘The hit ball which goes on a straight lime to the right is mot & slice, as many players think.
