1 —— Few Ye ank Golfers AMERICAN SQUAD IN 1924 LIKELY TO BE REDUCED Walter Hagen and Max Marsten Are Regarded as Likely to Join Invasion Next Summers and Bobby Jones Is a Possibility | BY FAIR PLAY. | EW YORK, December 1—At the moment it seems doubtiul whether the crusaders to England in quest of the gpen golf championship will be as numerous in 1924 as they were in 1923, However, if Havers con probably will make his advent before he plays for the open cl § p again in 1924, and if he should not have a highly successiul visit, it might start a pilgrimage to the other side to try for the British tit's in . W Hagen is likely to_go aiter it in any event. Hagen is sc thoronghly tied to goli that Briish titles are as much his prey as those of his own country. Besides, he thinks he would like another go at' the British cup to prove to himself that his golf is not going back or even standing still. [f open titles can be won morg or less frequently it gives « golier much confidence in himself, betause there is nothing except the wmateur championship which seems to he more difficult for the individual to gain and hold.

Runner-Up in Three Cham- pionships. BY D. B. KEELER. HE year 1919 forces on our consideration an odd factor in the golfing career oi Robert T. Jones, jr., and one that, had he not eventually overcome it, and in the stoutest-hearted fashion imaginable, never would have been let out into print by this chronicler. It is difficult to zive this factor a name; we may as well term it the Jones jinx. The reader may be incredulous of jinxes, or of the operation of fate in the destinies of golfers. Unless he has followed Bobby Jones in as many major cham- pionships as the writer, I decline even to debate the matter with him, or to admit it as a debatable question. In a remarkable edftorial tributs to Bobby Jones as the new national open champion, the American Golfer sald “Bobby Jones lessons of defe I _knew.

The THE STAR’S PANORAMA OF BASE BALL A Pictorial Highlight History of the Nat ional Game (Copyright, 1923, in U. S. and Great Britain by North American Newspaper Alliance. = All rights reserved NO. 25—ANSON, ONE OF THE BIG STARS Anson's immortality in base ball, however, rests on the work he did with his Chicago club of 1882, when he practically insti- tuted inside base ball or team play. Mike Kelty was one of his boys. Infield and outfield, with Anson, became a part of the sci- ence of base ball. Through him modern batting came. Beginning then with Anson and his team, one can follow the development of team play through the St. Louis Browns under Charlie Com- iskey’s inspiration, through Han- lon’s Baltimore team oi 1890-94 and Chance’s Chicago Nationals. There was no more upright |+ player in the game than Anson. Who was Adrian C. Anson? He one of the old-time sluggers at the bat, but he was the first sluggerswho slugged with a pur- pose other than hitting the ball. He -was the right fielder for the Athletics. He was among thosc who went abroad with Spalding in 1874, when we made our first attempt to interest our British friends in our national game. Anson’s slugging did not con- sist'of a terrific swing. He met and ball squarely with his bat, and being a powerfully built man, and having'a poweriul bat —the heaviest, probably, ever carried—he kept his batting aver- age high.

At Rockiord, Mll,, he played third base, and then, in 1872, he joined the Philadelphia Athletics. Over in England, when base “ball didn’t quite take, the Americans played cricket, and Anson, shone wonderfully. In 1876, after the National League was formed, Anson turned to ‘Chicago as first baseman, and as manager of the club he was instrumental in winning the cham- pionship in 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885 and 1886. For twenty-two years at the bat his average always stood over .300. In 1898 he moved to New York and Helped manage the Giants awhile. But luck seemed to desert him in his later ventures, and after he died, April 14, 1922, writers turned back to his ‘earlier glories on the dia- mond.
