SPORTS." World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates Now Are in the Process of Disintegration BUCS REQUIRE SOME HELP * TO REPEAT IN FLAG RACE UPSETS HIT STARS IN WESTERN GOLF By the Associated Press WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn.. July 22.—Upsets in the first two rounds bave stripped t'e western golf tourna- ment of its more widely known en- itrants and it has become essentially a “dark horse” affair todsy as play enters the quarter finals, Disaster rode the greens in Wed- nesday’s round for such stars as Chick Evans of Chicago, Harrigon -“Jimmy” Johnston of St. Paul, tourna- ment medalist; Keef Carter, Oklahoma City, 1925 champlon, and Dr. O. F. Willing, Portland, Ore. ixtra hole matches were frequent, one of them spelling the downfall of Johnston, whose putter left him in the Jurch. Frank Dolp, a young Port lander, was Johnston’s undoing. Veteran of many Western tourna- ments and winner of eight in the amateur class, Evans was outputted Manager McKechnie’s Club Is Most in Need of a Pitcher Who Can Come Through and Finish as Rawlings is Doing for the Infield. T BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, July 22—It has been evident for some time that the N world base ball champions were in a process of disintegration. & Last Winter therc were a few observers who thought the Pirates would be shifted around before Spring training began, because it was apparent that Mobre had his way of doing things, and that his way was not always the way of the club. Max Carey became ill before the season opened, and not knowing Tamous U HERF a fair swimmer and a cham- pion swimmer when measured by seconds and fractions of seconds. A champion swimmer will do the 20 yards in around 8 seconds. remember, he's a champion and has just about perfected his strokes.

Moore can play the outfield and he can bat well, desirable at the ba. to_be a Handy Andy. Yet the Pittsburgh management and Moore never had pulled in team harness. Moore had a set of his own. Now he has gone to Boston, as has been anticipated, because the Pirates had come to the conclusion that they could spare him, especially after observing the good work done by Cronin at short for New Haven. Cronin was a Pittsburgh protege who had been playing the Eastern League. He is a California boy, and, as in the case of all players from Cal ifornia, the fans out in his State pre. dicted that in time he would be fa mous all over the East. In that kind of prediction the California fans bat .800. in Moore May Help Boston. Moore may help the Bostonteam. It is evident that Gautreau, second baseman for Boston, is not sturdy enough to stand the banging that goes on around that base, and his height is against him. The Boston infleld, being composed of men of short. stature, loses 100 many chances during the season, because the tall |- boys will get more of those scream- ing line drives than the short boys. Pittsburgh must have help if it is to pull through. The team seems to be hetter nmow that Care: Cuyler and Waner are pl outfield regularly, but Cuyler is hav. ing ancther of his batting lapses. He may overcome it today or tomorrow, but every time he seems to be started toward the top of the league he stum- bles and skids. Pittsburgh has let Oldham go, but that does not seem very odd. Old- ham’s greatest life triumph in base hall was in the last inning of the last zame of the 1925 world serles, when his curves, breaking like half moons, struck out the last Washington bat- ter. He is past the time when he could be called to work hard enough | to hoe half an acre before breakfast. | Rawlings Fragile Player. Rawlings is playing second base now for the Pirates. Maybe he will stick there to the end of the season. A determined and _dogged player, Rawlings would have been in the last world-serfes if he had mot broken his ankle. His trouble is lack of en- durance to play a whole season. Man- egers think that. RaWlings doesn't. He is fragile, -as ball players go, but when he is playing smoothly he is a winning ball player and what is known as a money ball player. A money ball player is one who doesn't worry, and tells plain truths. The Pitates saved Rawlings for the finish of the season. It is just as well. They will need him for the fin ish of this season. Their outfield and infleld have strong points. But what Pittsburgh really needs is a_pitcher who can come through and finish as Rawlings helps the infield to finish.

They are difficult to hit cleanly. The tendency of all inexperienced bat- fers is to swing hard at them. Experienced batters let them go by. They rarely try for them un- less compelled to do so. Then they swing easily at them, as the player on the left in the illustration is doing. That is the only way to hit such a ball cleanly. The player on the ht is -preparing to swing viclously. The odds are heavily against his getting a clean hit. SWEDISH KING AC;l‘IVE. The King of Sweden, aged 67, is the most strenuous athlete among the European monarchs. He s an en- thusiast at tennis.
