The National League is fussed up as to whéther Pittsburgh can be wrestled out of the lead once it has mainder of the running in the old-time show het up. rabbed it—and if it can't be, the re- not going to be unduly . Bigbee is in left field for the Pirates for the time being. Waner is in right field, and it was predicted he might be by those who could see what the apple seeds were beginning to forecast One look at Waner was enough to prove that the kid is a ba!l p'ayer from the bottom of his Okla- | homa feet to the smile that plays about the corners of his mouth. Cuyler is in center field, because Max Carey never has felt quite fit since the “flu” flopped him in the Spring. Quite a lot of shifting, that, and on second base there another player, Rhyne, who would have been a god- send to four or five teams in the league had they paid down the money for him that they threw away on trades and purchases not worth the flint to strike a spar The scouts who steered possible purchasers away from Waner and Rhyne should be given a bonus by the Pirates for helping them to get a better hold on a possible pennant. Grantham No Iren Man. ‘The Pirates have Grantham back at first base, which also was bound to happen soon or later, because Stuffy Melnnis is not enduring enough for sustained effort. But in time the Pirates will need a first baseman. Grantham has a shoulder that knocks | hard in Spring and one of these days | will hurt so badly that he can't feed himself to curves with a base ball bat. It is an important fact to note and remember that the Pittsburgh team has walked straight up from the bot- tom to second place and that it is not the Fourth of July by almost a month. It is said of ball clubs—although it is by no means an_ unwavering test— that if they are first on the Fourth of July, they will be first at the end of the year. It doesn’t always hap- pen. If teams are very evenly match- ed it is not so likely to happen, but in the old days of the National League, when it was the only major organization in the field, its strength was very poorly balanced. There were likely to be about three teams that had something and the rest lived by tolerance and the right of franchise. Meadows Proving a Surprise. Meadows of the Pirates, who was expected to be the weak pitcher of the team, has won seven games in succession and lost none. Used ju- diclously and not too often, he can stand the strain with an arm that needs tonic. Kremer has an ailing arm and Aldridge is fussy about his, vet the Pirates keep poking en day after day, winning against the odds of having none too good pitching. So the team must be getting through because of a punch. It is a punch similar to that of the Yanks, although not so massive. If Pittsburgh gets its hooks in the lead, who will sila. track it unless it be Cincinnati or St. Louis? And it will be some job ior either of them. (Copyright, 1926.)

TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats . | Ban- | local | match on | f 1 ' Inside Golf 'eeeeBy Chester Horton. The “mentally-bound” golfer is all right in every way except that he has been engulfed in golf psychology. The _mentally-bound golfer is th bad because each shot involves a [combination couragement on which his en- thusiasm feeds. Such players are close to good golf. Because they have learned to swing the club in an approximately, if not exactly, correct manner, the muscle | sense of golf has been developed with them. The cure for all those bad shots is simple. Forget the details of it. Give the club a correct start and leave it to the club itself to do the rest of it. Do this until the stroke becomes largely a thing that is done unconsciously.

EASY X on iy QL'%"ut\D OT Walter Hagen, nor Jim Barnes, nor Bobby Jones, nor any other of the former national open champions in England in quest of the 1926 British open title is the favorite among the Americans to lead It will surprise many go!f enthusiasts to learn that a large number of the professionals expect that Bill Mehlhorn, the flaxen-topped Chi- cagoan, whose bifigest title to date is the Western open, will show the way to the rest of the invaders. The reason is that Bill's game imposed by the windy Bri is better adapted to the conditions sh courses than that of any other of our rep- resentatives. whether foreign-bred or home-bred. Many professionals regard Mehlhorn as the best driver in America, and the best in the world against the wind. They say his low irons are unexcelled, teo. and, among the Americans, not quite equaled. Hence, although Hagen has won the British event twice and Barnes has won it once, they rate Mehlhorn as potentially the strongest member of the United States contingent. Of course, circumstances may arise that will take him off his game. There is, for instance, the matter of clubs. Bill has been using the steel- shafted kind. which are not permitted in the British event, and the change may affect his sense of balance and touch. A ‘Consistent Winner. Last Winter, in the West and South. he was the most consistent money winner in the game. He cap- tured the Long Beach, Calif.. Hot Springs, Ark. and south Florida opens, finished first with Macdonald Smith in the International team matches at Miami, and was in the money at any number of other events in which the competition was of the keenest. How Mehlhorn at one time lost his low iron shots to the green and, then, in the midst of an important cham: plonship, recovered them is an ab- sorbing golf story. It is also a record of an interesting change in tactics that captured the aforesaid champlon- ship for him. Bill wanted badly to win the 1924 Western open, played at the Calumet Club, Chicago. He and Leo Diegel were dated up for an exhibition tour, and while Leo had won three impor- tant tournaments—the e, Can- ian and Illinois ope ~Bili didn't have a single importaat scalp a* his belt. although he had finished third in the national open at Oakland Hills, Detroit. The end of the first day’s play at Calumet convinced Diegel that he did not have much of a chance for victory. But his buddy. Bill, was leading the field with 7670 for 146. So Leo de- voted all his qfforts to pulling his prospective teammate to victor; Used Pitch Shots. 4 Finishing early the first day, Leo went out to watch Mehlhorn play the concluding holes of his second round and noted with amazement that Bill was using pitch shots instead of low run-up shots at every green. Now at Calumet the greens, par- ticularly on the incoming nine, were apt to be crown greens—that is, greens built up in the middle and sloping off at the sides. Pitching was dangerous, for unless the shot was sxtraordinarily accurate—in fact. right on the flag—the ball almost invariably ran aw from the cup instead of toward it. One could pitch short and trust to an accurate chip shot to lay the hall dead for a single putt, but this placed too much burden on the chip shot. Nevertheless, this latter was the method Mehlhorn was using. It was succeeding, too, but only because his putter was performing in great style. Leo noticed that on the seventeenth and eighteenth holes Bill had to sink 10-foot putts to get his four. There was another reason why pitch shots were inadvisable on those holes, There was a lot of clover in the fair- ways. aying from clover is just the same as playing from wet grass. The ball takes the most unexpected curves, which is dangerous, of course. on high-hit shots. The stunt is to hit a low ball smartly, missing the clover. Had Lost Pet Shot. Walking back to the clubhouse, Diegel said to Mehlhorn: “Bill, did you play those last two holes right—wouldn’t you term the proper shot to the green a run-up?”’ “Absolutely,” replied Mehlhorn, “but I haven't got ome. I lost it over a year ago. It —Dbut not now Bill and Leo often had tuned each other up for tournaments. So Leo now suggested that they go out to- gether and practice Jow iron shots in preparation for the second day’s struggle. “Five minutes will restore that play to you,” he told Mehlhorn. 0 “T'm more likely to ruin myself,’ retorted Bill. “However, we'll try it out.” The next morning, before play be- gan, Leo and BHl proceeded to the practice ground. On the very first attempt Bill tore off a perfect run-up shot. A dozen others convinced him he had permanently vestored this im- portant asset to his bag. The third round was a wild scram- ble, with several players having a chance to win. Mehlhorn did not rely too heavily upon low irons at the start, but as play progressed called them more and more into play. On the last nine holes he discarded the pitch shot completely. A wind had sprung up that made low shots doubly valuable. Benefited by Change. The eighteenth hole, which was typical, iliustrates the benefit of the changee in strategy. On this 485 vard affair the green breaks in from Tight to left. with the fairway sloping in the same direction. due to a mound at the right near the green. In the second round Bill's second shot, & jigger pitch, left him short of the green. He was short of the pin on his chip shot, and he had to hole a 10-foot putt for w 4. In the third round, his second shot, a jigger run- up. following the sloping curve of the fairway at the right, rolled up within eight feet of the cup. which he rim- med on his putt, almost getting an eagle 3. Playing the last nine holes of the champtonship. Mehlhorn showed how easy the crown greens had become for him by ringing up a 34, a record, slipping away from the fleld and beat- ing Al Watrous for the needed title handily. He's never been without his low run-up shots since. Tt should be noted that perhaps Mehthorn and Diegel played under the auspices of the gods of golf in 1924. Refore the season began a fair ad- mirer of Diegel in Washington gave him a good luck pin to wear in tho ensuing tournaments. Leo Finished Fourth. Leo finished fourth in the Metro- politan open and then proceeded to win the Shawnce, Canadian, Iilinois and Florida opens. When he didn't get off to a good start_he transferred the pin to Mehlhorn. Wearing it, Bill scored five important victories before the year was over. ‘Mehlhorn finished third in the na- tional open of 1924 and has as good a chance as any one else to win the event this vear. He has the brains, the couraze and the game to do it. Leo Diegsl maintains that in addi- tion to his low-flying shots off the tes and in the fairway he has the most eficient spoon amonog the pro- fessionals. Bill's game has improved through a change in his attitude toward tour- nament play. Formerly he only fought hard in the national events, caring little about victory in the mi- nor championships. Now he tries hard for any and all events and has become steadily more dangerous. His putting, which formerly was uncer- tain at times, is now the best of his career. . He'll be as much of a men- ace at Columbus, Ohlo. as in England. (Copyright. 1826.) TILDEN GETS REVENGE. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 7 (#). —Willlam T.

In the last few years our players have suffered and been encouraged to suffer from an inferiority complex. There should be no further excuse for this now." ‘The Post says: “The assembly was t00 astounded to cheer.

WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER REETINGS, sportswomen! G We wish we could pass on to you a bit of the salty air and deep sea breezes we have been im_blbn}g during the past two wecks while attending the eighteenth biennial convention of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs at Atlantic City. We can pass on a few mtere_.mui erer, which were gleaned during t vention. It may interest you to know that the several thousand delegates, rep- resenting nearly 8,000,000 women of America, heartily indorsed the princi- ples of the National Amateur Ath- letic Federation in its stand for a sane athletlc program for girls. In fact, after Lillian Schoedler, execu- tive secretary of the women's di- vision, N. A. A. I, had outlined such a program to the convening body the suggestion was made that the women not only approve it for girls, but that it would not be amiss to advocate a similar one for the boys of the ountry. % No formal resolution was introduced concerning girls' athletics, as all the resolutions to be considered by the General Federation had to he on rec: ord eight weeks before the biennial meet, but the women indicated com plete accord with the principles adve- cated by Miss Schoedler, and there is little doubt that a formal resolu- tion of indorsement will be forthcom- ing before the next biennial if it s urged by those interested in the physical welfare of the voung girls and women engaged in athletics. Dr. John J. Tigert, United States commissioner of education, struck an- other note in harmony with the stand- ards of the A. A. F. when he declared in his address that “‘one of the vital factors in a well roundet: education is an adequate course Of physical lruinllng»:;\d_h}:' this 1 do ot mean merely athletics. = Both Dr. Tigert and Miss Schoedler urged the inclusion in physical train- ing programs of games and exercises designed purely for bodily develop- ment as being quite as essential as Bl Mo i T bt Pttt WOMAN RACKETERS MAY START TODAY Woman racketers of the District Tennis League will get imto action this afternoon at 4 o'clock on the courts at Sixth and B sreets north- west, providing they are in condition, according to Marjorie Wooden, chair- man of the tournament committee.

PARIS, June 7.—The international hard courts tennis championship tour- nament has at last got down to real business. Most of the chaff has been eliminated and today found the re- maining players fairly evenly match- ed. Interest in the tourney conse- quently has grown more intense. The best game scheduled for today was that between Elizabeth Ryan and Joan Fry, the English girl, to deter- nine which of them is to meet Suzanne Lenglen in the semi-final of the wom- an’'s singles. The experts fancied Miss Ryan to win. Mary Browne was pitted against Mrs. L. A. Godfree, the former Kitty McKane, to decide if she is to be- come a finalist. Mme. Mathieu, one of the most promising of the young French wom- an players, was down on the card to meet Mlle. Lenglen. She is considered as bound to have an important rank- ing this year, as she already has de- feated Mrs. Marion Z. Jessup and also put up a good fight against Helen Wills. All the American entrants achieved victories yesterday.
