\ SPORTS., LONE SOUTHPAW LIKELY TO BE AMONG REGULARS ‘Hauser Will Be Only Portsider, Unless Bishop Should Supplant Dykes at Second—Great Interest Centers in Strand. BY JOHN | B. FOSTER. > F the new players of the Athletics prove to be valiant knights and true with the bat in 1924 Connie Mack will have a straight array of right-hand hitters with a single exception—Hauser, at first base. On the bases there will be Hauser, first, left-hander; Dykes, second, right-hander ; Galloway, shortstop, right-hander; Hale, third, right-hander.

You will recall that this was held in Madison Square Garden, and that it wen t ten rounds without a decision. I knew that some of the fans wanted to-see Moran fight Willard, and so, although the law in New York at fight or a decision by a referee, I st There is no doubt that Willa that time did not permit of-a finish aged the fight. rd had all the better of the fight. Moran was game and willing, but he was too small and too inexperienced to get an even break with a giant I What I forgot to say, and what I want to say, is this: There never was a gamer man In the. world than Frank Gameness is not the most Should Bishop happen to supplant Dykes at second there would be | common quality in the world; I two left-handers in the line-up. But Dykes says Bishop will have to g0 | ghould like to emphasize credit where some to get his place. Of all the Athletic batters none has a «fancy for hitting into the right field.

The Athletics have a possibility of a .340 batting outfield. It will be found that Simmons is an improving batsman. He has never gone back since he started and he started only a little while ago. The greatest amount of interest will center in Strand. He is a player who has been mgde by the environ- ment of the Pacifio coast, which bet- ters ball players who find their way out there. Strand left the majors years back. with no reputation for being a frequent hitter or any other kind of hitter. He ended as leader of the coast \eague.

If he can make his accomplishment last him in 1924 the Athletics will have a smattering of the punch which they lacked last season.

With Boatwright and Riddle leading the attack, the Kendall Greeners soon forged to the front and won with ease. Maryland took a 26-to-13 trouncing from Virginia's basket ball team at Charlottesville last night. The Cava- liers won over the Old Liners in the second half. after the teams had bat- tled on even terms in the first twenty minutes of play. Both teams used a number of substitutes.

GIRL NATATORS SET SIX MORE RECORDS MIAMI, Fla., February 9.—Six more world swimming records for women were established here yesterday in the Roman pools. Three world records resulted in the first event of the program, the relays. Gertrude Ederle, Doris O'Mara, Ade- laide Lambert and Helen Wainwright, each swimming ffty yards, cut a fifth of a second off the 200-yard re- lay by covering the distance In | 1.581-5. * Alleen Riggin continued the relay to the 250-yard mark and established | & record of 2.283-5 there. Helen | Meaney, the sixth girl, swam on an additional fifty yards and a new trecord was established at that dis- tance in 2.59 3-5. The 250 and 300 yard records were established for the first time, as no , marks have been recorded at those i distances heretofore. Agnes Geraghty, New_ York, breast stroke champion of the United States, added two marks to her long list. A brilllant sprint in the final twenty- five yards gave her a time of 7.30 2-5 in the 400 meters, & fifth of a second less than twelve seconds below the long held by Nadeen Vogand of Belgium.

While a lot of fans there that night criticized his judg- ment, they were open in the praise for his courage. At the sound of the gong Frank waded right in. He didn’t even try to feint out the cham- pion to see how the land lay. He simply walked in and let go his old Mary Ann, as he called his famous punch, Moran had a way of tele- graphing his blows so that an ad- versary could see what was coming. Willard had no_ trouble in keeping him off. But nobody could keep Mo- ran from trying. ‘Wins With Broken Hand. In one of the rounds Willard, in trying for the famous uppercut that won him most of his battles, landed on the point of Moran's elbow. The collision broke the knuckle of his in- dex finger. He had to fight the rest of the way with one good hand. Even S0, he won with comparative ease. Always there has been a tendency to vy that Willard was not game. That is unjust, unfair ‘and untrue. Any man that can fight through with a broken hand and win must have courage. In fact, I think Willard un- usually courageous from the fact that he got to be champion without hav- ing any particular liking for the box- ing game. He never wanted to hurt anybody. After that fight Moran told me: “I realized that my chance was to rush Willard and give him a knock- out. 1 knew I could take punishment, and that, I figured, would help me out. I wish the fight had gone long- er. 1 feel sure that my physical pow- ers of resistance eventually would have overcome the champion's supe- rior reach.” That statement is another evidence of Moran's gameness, his confidence in himself. Very fow agreed with his statement.

Basket Ball Tips IF YOUR OPPONENT IS"ROUGHING® YOU- DO NOT FIGHT BACK. What tactics can a player adopt toward an opponent who is “roughing him up”? Answered by NELS NORGREN, Conch of basket ball, University of Chicago. Famous for the speed a fghting determination of his teams. * k% X When a player has an opponent who, is “roughing him up” he should inform his captain of the situation, and the captain should appeal to the official, claiming his teammate’s rights under the rules. The player should be sportsmanlike enough not to cenfuse “roughing” and hard playing. If he is being “roughed’— i €, held, backed, pushed, blocked or tripped—he must not retaliate.in kind, but make the appeal as: stated above. If it is a case of hard play- ing he must exercise, all the more, his powers of brain, speed and train- ing and “outsmart” his opponent. (Copyright, 1924, Associated Editors.)

But for the big, war the chances are 1 would have completed the es- tablishment of the largest cattle ranch in the world—by far the larg- est—and would never have got into the fighting game as a real business. My first efforts at promotion, as I have related, were to me more like a game or a sport than a means of making money. I wanted to put a big fght over just as a man wants to make his pet thoroughbred w:n some great stake race. Some time after the Jeftrias-John- 'son fight T went to South America as the representative of European capi- talists to buy up an immense tract of land for a cattle ranch the like of which the world had never seen. Belgian, French, English and other capital was interested. In fact, I actually did buy or take option on five million acres of land in the great chaos of Paraguay. 1 lived down there several vears. I had bought sixty thousand head of cattle and had the great project in a working way when the world war broke out. That, of course, ended it. | Many of the capitalists, starting in as friendly co-investors, had been made enemics by the war. Cost Dollar An Aere. Those 5,000.000 acres, incidentally, would have cost approximately $1 an acre. The opportunity still is there if somebody wants to take it up when the world finally settles down to busi- ness. There is no doubt in_my mind but that it would pay. The world always will need beef. South America right now is the best field I know of for constructive effort in industry. | Incidentally, there is a big interest in boxing down there and, as the world now knows, South America can de- velop men with a punch!

WILLIE OGG TELLS Putt Which Won Championship There is no doubt that the new- comer in golf does not pay enough attention to his putting game. He gets his thrill from long drives or hefty shots from the fairway, and, while anxious to reduce his total of strokes for the eighteen holes, for- gets that one of the best places for doing so is on the green. Conditions make it possible for| any one to become a decent putt maker. Age, overweight, stiffness, handica Other duire, but. no matter how clumsy the tyro may be, he can easily learn to hit the ball as it should be hit when putting. ‘The trouble is that he generally is careless in his attempts for the cup. If you have ever seen a professional play, you have noted that before putting he carefully examines the surface of the green to find out its slopes. Also he gauges the distance the ball tuust roll with the greatest accuracy. Having dome so, he then concentrates on hitting the ball with exactness. These the tyro never does. Per- haps he suffers from a, false modesty and doesn't care to make himself conspicuous before his fellow play- ers. Or perhaps he doesn't consider that the effort is worth while. What- ever the remson, he hurts his game appreciably. ‘1 ‘have seen championships won and lost through putting. The gal- lery which hung around the eight- eenth green at Inwood last sum- mer_will never forget the great putt by Bobby Cruickshank which enabled him to tie Bobby Jomes for the na- tlonal open championship. In the play-off, of course, Jones was winner, but in that brave and precise effort of the previous day Cruick- shank; for the time being, had avert- ed defeat. With better luck on the morrow he could have captured the title. In that event he would have had to thank his putter. Playing in the Maine open tourna- ment at Poland Springs last year Herbert Lagerblade, the Bristol (Conn.) pro, and I found ourselves tied for low total when we reached the final tee. The eighteenth hole at Poland Springs is 370 yards long. Lagerblade laid his second on the edge of the green, while mine was past the cup by a full 10 yards. Lagerblade ran his ball up so that a 4 would be easy, and it was up to me either to sink my ball or go on to another hole and possible defeat. The ‘green was rough and bumpy, but I said to myself, “Bobby. Crulck- hank is not the only one that can sink these long ones.” took great care, and, obtawiing desired results, holed the ‘ball after a #-foot journcy in which it crept om a1« Off the line like a snake.. That putt savé me the title, with & total of 28y strikes for seventy-two holes, only 1 over par, “Befor's quitting the subject of put- ting, please let ‘me say that Cruick- shank is one of the best of living putt makers. One which I saw him sink at Inwood Is the greatest in my memory. In the East vs West match preced- ing the open championship he and I were pitted against Bill Mehlhorn and Jack Burke. Playing best ball, we came to the iast green ali even. Bobby won the match by holing his ball for a 3 from the bacl a 50-foot down-the-] tt over a side. surface. It was Inside Golf By Chester Horton: Evans, in his intense study of the mechanics of the golf swing, developed and constantly employs one principle, in his minimum pivot, that constitutes a ray of sunshine for every struggling golfer in the land. And the best of it is that golfers everywhere cam make as good use of this prineci- ple as “Chick” does himsel Using the drag of the elul ck from the ball the Iate f the elubl over the , Evans has found that very little pivot is needed that B~DRAG BACK THE “much less grip s called for” It is this shortening pivot that causes those who have observed his play to wonder why it is he appears to hit the ball almost without moving at all. Too much pivot, he dis- cerned, getn the club out of paral- lel with the line of flight at the top of the back swing, while ft opens up, perhaps more readily than anything else in the swing, the opportunity to get off balance at mome point. The pivot, Evans found, was the hardest thing for him to master in his years of daily application to the golf swing. Them it dawned on him that the club- head should do the work, and that the fdeal swing would be some- thing like “maximum eclubhead, minimum pivot.” That theory, out of “Chick Evans’ head, is a womn- der-worker for any goifer who puts it to work.
