Pirates have been performing valiant ave been going on behind the scenes nd to the reign of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as the dictator of base ball. An impromptu meeting of major league club owners, held downtown in Pittsburgh, at which the future executive control of the affairs of base ball was discussed at length, stacted the ball rol ing. “Never again will I vote for a one-man head of base ball,” said gne of the owners at the conference, and in his sentiment chance. bers of this commission, with a chai club. i worth of base ball stock.” Landis Has Another Year. Judge Landis' contract as high | commissioner of base ball has another | bS to run, but even at this early date is seeins certain that it will not be renewed. There are one or | two National League club owners who are ready tand_or the judge, but it is doubtful whel he will be able nd the sup- | nort of more than one or two Ameri- can League clubs when the show-| down comes. | A charge In sentiment toward Ban | Johz-on, president of the American | League, doubtless is responsible for | *he ~decline in the popularity of | Judge Landis among the clubs of vounger circuit. Johnson _stands higher today in his league than he | did before the Chicago meeting, | which censured him for his outburst over the Dolan-)'Connell affair. The writer has on good authority that it is the present intention of Ruppert of New York, Ball of St. Louis, nn of Boston, Shibe of Philadelphia and Barnard of Cleve- tand to be hesitant about supporting Judge Landis. The attitude of the other | American League owners is not so | definitely krown, although Navin of Detroit 1S not likely to forsake that combination when he sees which way the wind is blowing. Shibe Grateful to Johnson. Shibe of Philadelphia was one of the owners who voted against John- ®on at the Chicago meeting, but since then he, has had reason to teel grateful to the league president. The Athletics got into a jam be- cause they employed non-union labor in building new stands in their park. Shibe immediately sent for Johnson, who succeeded in straightening out the trouble. So it is not likely that | Shibe will vote for Landis unless Ban Johnson insists on it. When that happens, the carth s apt to start revolving the reverse way In_the National League crowd Landis has a stanch supporter in Buker of Philadelphia. But Baker has lost his old side partner in Eb. bets of Brooklyn. This pair did their share for seven or elght years to steer the National Leazue.

Perhaps with the gang, to be a good fellow. Stoneham Storm Center. There is something going on in the New York National League club which may have a bearing on the situation. ~Charles A. Stoneham, the president, is more at loggerheads with his fellow associates than he is with Judge Landis and organized base ball. In fact, he is giving box- ing much more attention than base ball, and that has the National League so riled that it is saying bit- ter things under its breath. Barney Dreyfuss is not the en- thusiastic Land‘s man that he once was. Barney ¢ nks things over for a long time, bui he never forgets an injury and he is more likely to “get back” when least expected than any other owner in base ball. So, altogether the outlook is not very promising for Judge Landls, and when the next world series is played it may be the last time he will run the big show. (Copsrixht. 1925.) ERE are three pictures which take among the average class ginning go'fers. In figure 1 the club is half way we see the club about three-fourths The great difference here is the difference between “up” and “back.” In the average golfer's swing there is © ouickness of exertlon in the back swing which takes place at about the point where you see the club in Fig- ure 1. Right here he gets in a hurry to get the club up—and up it goes —that 1is, he lifts it directly upward with the arms, as shown in Figure 2, This quickness—eagerness to hit—and the lifting resulting take the club- head out of its natural plane, so that if the ball is hit well at all the hit is entirely an accident. From this point half way back in the back swing, or just at that point where you may have a natural tendency to life the club upward, be careful to “let it swing.” for right here is the mak- ing or unmaking of many a swing. “UP"—AND “BACK.” up. In figure 3 we see the club about three-fourths of the way back, but it is being swung back, which is correct. illustrate the greatest common mis- of golfers, and especially among be- back in the back swing. In figure 2 of the way up, but it is being lifted Keep in mind that the club goes back —not up. Keep in mind the idea of putting it in behind you rather than up over you. Letting it take its nat- ural swing in back of you will elevate it enough—about shoulder high—and will keep it in its correct plane. Then, at the top, be careful to let it have time to make an easy, chythmic turn and start back toward the ball. If you hurry at the turn you will jerk the club back before it has finished going up. The player who gets the idea of letting the club swing itself in back of him, without his lifting it upward, will soon find that the club has a mighty friendly way of doing its { work all by itself—if you just leave it alone and permi. it to swing as it ~ants to.

WILBUR TO SEE TIGER AND NAVY TEAMS MEET Secretary Wilbur plans to attend the Princeton-Navy foot ball. game at Baltimore October 17. The last foot ball game he played in on the Navy team, he recalled, was agalnst Princeton in 1887. Princeton won that game, 16 1o 5. Wilbur played left tackle, “Terrible,” was the whisper that went around as the ball left Gene's club-head and was seen to take a prongunced hook. have Gene’s word for it, however, that his play was carefully planned. It did not carry through exactly ac- cording to his desires, but the dis- aster which many expected did not materalize. = Found Themselves Even. Here was the situation: Sarazen and Hagen had played the | regulation 36 holes of the finals, only to find themselves all even. On the first_extra hole, each made a_birdie 4, Gene sinking a tricky 4-foot putt for a half. : Coming to the second extra hole, he felt the time had come to do or die. He prepared to put into execu- tion a bit of strategy he had been pondering ever since he had played the same hole in the previous round. Get the picture: The second hole at Pelham measures 310 yards. But the fairway, after threading a hollow, followed by & right-to-left slope for a distance of 285 or 290 yards, bends suddenly to the left, forming a sort of fish hook. Following Fairway Safe. In this angle at the left are some trees and also some houses. The safe way to play the hole is to follow the fairway. But when a player hits a long ball, as does Gene, he is apt to drive straight for the green, a blind shot carrying over the houses for a distance of 250 or 260 yards. If he succeeds, he will get a 3 and cut one off par. “I had tried for the green in both the morning and afternoon rounds,” says Sarazen. “In each instance I had attained my object—and a bit more that I hadn’t bargained for! The green was slippery and my ball had volled over and into the trap beyond. “I finished the morning 18 holes 3 up, but Hagen fought his way to a tie in the afternoon. When we halved the first extra hole, my mind already was made up as to the tactics I would use on the second. “I was going to play over the houses as before, only this time I meant to shoot for the rough off to the left of the green instead of playing to the green. ““Hagen had the honor and elected to take the safe route down the fairway. T purposely hooked my ball far to the left, above the houses. Had Badly Hooked Ball. “Now I must admit that the next few seconds were the hardest I ever experienced on a golf course. I had hooked my ball a bit more than I plan- ned and there was some doubt if it would carry the houses and a high wire netting fence separating them from the golf course. If it hadn't, I would be out of bounds—a disaster. “f felt more comfortable when word came back that the ball was all right. When I came down and found it not far from the spot where I had almed, and then perceived ‘Hagen's lie, 1 knew the advantage was all mine. et EE_/__—'—» HAGEN "> Golf Strategies That Won Some Important Struggles SARAZEN'S PURPOSELY HOUSES TO ROvGH L LENGTH OF HOLE-2310 YARDS OSITION. That is the object of every shot in goli except the putt to the cup—in other words, to get the ball favorably located for Sometimes the try for position becomes great strategy. If successful the player may gain a decisive stroke on his opponent. Such an attempt was Gene Sarazen’s tee-shot on the second extra hole of h's finals match with Walter Hagen in the Professional Golfers’ Association tournament of 1923 at the Pelham Country Club, New York. “Walter had a clean lie in the fair- way, but directly behind a bunker at the right of the entrance. Also— and this is highly important—the cup was set close to that bunker. Shot That Won Match. “The papers the following day said that my next play was a ‘wonderful recovery’ out of bad rough. But the fact Is the rough where my ball lay was not bad. Incidentally I had a track toward the pin totally unob- structed by any trap. “I was farther away than Hagen and played first, chipping my ball within 2 feet of the cup. “Walter had a hard play to make to clear that trap and still hold his ball close to the pin. He tried just to carry the trap and failed. On his next effort he almost holed his chip out of the bunker—but not quite. My birdie 3 gave me the match and the 1923 professional championship.” {Copyright. 1925.)

Coming to the 235-yard second hole, which was a long, narrow green, my spoon shot off the tee, landed in a trap just off the green and about 20 yards from the cup. When we got up to the green Jock Hutchinson had to play before I did, and while he was shooting_his second Bobby Cruickshank and I discussed how I should make my play. Simultaneously my caddie spled a five-cent plece lying in the sand of the trap, about 15 feet from my ball. He scrambled down the bank of the bunker, calling out as he bent over to pick up the coin, “I see a nickel.” Bobby and I turned to see what he was doing, “Don’t touch it!" I fairly screamed. but that boy must have had the heart of a miser. He couldn't stop. Probably he didn't realize that his action in invading the trap would cost me a two-stroke penalty. 1 was very much excited. I bawled him out, but it was too late. I was out of the trap on my next and was down in two putts, but the penalty gave me a 6 on the hole. _It was costly, too.

Here is the way the bulletin describes the find: “The original plant of this bent was selected from the old fourth green by Prof. C. V. Piper of the Department of Agriculture, a former member of the club and now chief adviser to the greens section of the United Stater Golf Assoclation. “The older members of the club will remember that this green was never well drained, and furthermore was situated in a pocket where the alr drainage was very poor. For four years in succession this green was destroved by the ‘brown patch’ disease, except one circle of grass near the center and about 2 feet in diameter. From the fact that th.s had resistéd the disease for four years in succession, it seemed highly prob- able that it was resistant, if not im- mune, to the disease—a conclusion that has been abundantly verified by extensive experiments.” 5 The grass is grown commercially and its fame has spread all over the world. SOCCER THE SPORT IN SOUTH AMERICA By the Associated Press. South American soccer football vic- tories in various countries have not surprised people who are acquainted with the development of Latin Ameri- can athletics. Soccer, or association foot ball, is as popular in Brazil as base ball in the United States. Every city and vilage has its teams composed of men and boys, and the children are always kicking balls about. There is ample opportunity to practice the game, as the official playing season is nine months in length, the only excep- tions being December, January and February, which are generally too hot for contests. Many Brazilian victories in Paris and the Uruguayan success at the Olympic games last year are based on the fact that the South Americans play o faster game and take more chances. Rio d& Janeiro is said to have the largest and best equipped private ath- letic club in South Amerlca. It fs located near the center of the city and cost $3,000,000. A stadium seats 40,000 people. All branches of athletics are played by the members, foot ball, basket ball, tennis, volley ball, water polo, swim- ming, shooting, anad there are classes for boxing, fencing and gymnastics. e GOLF IS CHEAP THERE. ‘The Shrub Hill Golf Club of Eng- land is said to have the cheapest an- nual fee of any large and well equip- ped golf club in the world.

BY RAY M cCARTHY. EW YORK, October 10—It begins to appear now that no change will be made in the golf ball this year, or any other year soon. In a recent poll of Br 1 Society the vote was overwhelmingly h golfers made by the Royal and Ancient registered against any change. Just what the United States Golf Association executive committee will do in the matter now is problematical. Howevet, it is hardly likely that will insist on-a change of standards, Britain is anxious to develop. Standard Is 1.62. The present standard ball is 1.62 in both size and weight. The U. 8 G. A. committee after a series of ex periments made in the South two vears ago decided that a ball meas- uring 1.66 in size and 1.55 in weight would be better suited for tournament play and would ald in checking the apparent drift toward phenomenally | low scoring. There were many arguments pro .and con regarding the contemplated change in the ball. Many of the lead- | ing players were rather indifferent in their views; in fact, most of them thought a change might be beneficlal to the so-called duffer. But it was the great army of duffers who did most of the clamoring and protesting, fust as they did in Great Britain when a census was taken there. Duffers Protest. This group claimed that to change the ball would reduce their hitting. And in hitting or in driving is where they—meaning the duffers—obtain their biggest thrill in golf. The argu- ment of the U. 8. G. A. committee was that a lighter ball would enable all players to control it better, par- ticularly in iron play, But the duffer protests that he is not seeking con- tro! or scores in golf. What he wants is the long drive and the thrill of see- ing the ball ride. Yet, in spite of this clamor, the U. S. G. A. executive committee was prepared to push through the change and it was figured a mutual arrange- ment with the Royal and Ancient Socfety would be made before the start of another season. Now comes the poll of golfers in Great Britain that completely upsets the apple cart. Glenna Collett’s Feat. Winning two tournaments, includ- ing the national champtonship in successive weeks against the best players in the United States is not only an unprecedented accomplish- ment in this fickle game of golf, but the feat just turned by Glenna Col- lett establishes bevond all rebuttal the statement the Providence girl is the greatest woman golfer ever de- veloped in America. ‘Those who follow these diepatches may recall that mention was made of Miss Helen Payson of Portland, Me., last Winter when she was competing in Florida tournaments. At that time this writer polnted out that Miss Payson, making her first appearance in competi.ive golf, showed promise of developing into a real star. Miss Payton went to the final round of the annual Shennesossett tournament where she was beaten by Glenna Col- lett in a hard match by one up. She made an excellent showing in the na- tional and repeated her nne work in Chicago this week, where she was agein a finalist with Miss Collett. (Copsright. 1925.)
