A fine field | aiready is assured for St. Augustine. where the championship will be| played. | The club champions will start their battle on January 4. when an 18-hole qualifying round will be played, and then ~the 32 successful mashie swingers will engage in match play. The winner will receive the Walter J. mous donor—and no prize could be more appropriate. It will he recalled that the immortal W. J. did not take up golf until he was past 35, and then went on to win both the United States and British amateur titles. Travis is the shining exampie of: “While there I8 life there's a chance to become a champion.” Club Stars to Gather. Among the club champions expect- ed to participate in the national event are: Roscoe Fawcett of the Inter- lacken Club. Minneapolis: Frank Ross of Hartford, Conn.: Allan Ellis of unaway Brook. Brookline, Mass lohn Vavra of Cedar Rapids, Jowa Gienn Carman of Willowick, Cle: Jand; T. V. Bermingham of Wykasl New York, and Harold Lusk of Rock Island, IIl. These are only a few who “will come from the North and West to play over one of the best courses in the Southland. Young and old will mix on the seaside links and the chap | who rules Wis own club soon will be 4 able to determine just how good he really is. The Los Angeles open, to be played over the Wilshire course is drawing the best fleld of its short existence. Tommy Armour, the United States and Canadian open champion, heads the field with Walter Hagen, the P. G. A. and Western open titleholder. also scheduled to start. There is some doubt as to the Haig's ability to #traighten out some business affairs in time to reach the coast, but he told the writer last week he expected to compete. Harry Cooper, who won the first §los Angeles open in 1926 and tied Armour fn the 1927 Urited States open, will be one of the Coast favor- ites. Lighthorse has been playing ex- | eeptionally good golf all Fall. Bobby Cruikshank, the 1927 winner, also will be in the struggle as will Johnny Far- reil, Leo Deigel, Willie Burke. the Es- pinosa brothers and all of the other lop-notchers who are mot contract- bound to some Florida course, Diegel Now in Form. Leo Deigel gave the boys something 10 think about when he knocked off a 7 in the first round of the San Diego | open last week and then plaved well | enough to win the money there. If Leo can forget 1o worry for four trips over the Wilshire course he has a good chance of collecting the heavy eoin. George von Elm also will be in the field and will constitute the chief ama- teur threat. Von Eim finished second | to Cooper in the first Los Angeles open and usually performs well in all Coast events. George was shorn of every title during the Summer cam- | paign and will be striving to back- | track and win an honor of some sort | before he heads East for the amateur | mext Bummer. : | The Los Angeles open Is one of the two big money events of the Winter | season, the other being the $12.000 | Atlanta open. to be played in March. | But hetween those two tournaments | the pros will have ample opportunity 10 pick up a few o0dd thousands | through Texas.

However, there are those who profess to he a hit mystified a to why the parchase should have been made. They cite the fact that Judge is Sisler's junior by a vear, that he always has heen regarded as one of the most capable initial sackers in the game, and point to his finishing in the .30 class of hitters last season as proof that he is by no means “through. Gireat Difference in Durability. The answer has to do largely with durability. Tt is no fault of Judge's that mother nature endowed him with a constitution less robust than that of many another performer, but it is a fact, never- theless, that owing to his susceptibility to injuries Joe has proved unavailable for service for periods that imposed a great handicap on his club, especialy in view of the fact that little success has at- tended unrelenting cHorts to find capable substitutes for him. A perusal of the records discloses that since Judge was installed as regular vestibule guardian of the Griffmen, -in 1916, he has par- ticipated in 1,533 games of the 1858 scheduled, on the basis of the customary 134 10 a scason, missing a total of 315, or an average of more than 27 a year, which represents practically a month of idle- ness for each campaign of approximately five and one-half months, Sisler. on the other hand, in tne 11 seasons he has performed with the Browns. excluding his first year with them, when he was rated as a pitcher as well as a first baseman and outfielder, has taken part in 1,566 of the 1,694 games scheduled for his club, an ag- gregate of 128 games missed and an average of but 12 afternoons of idleness each Summer. Figures Regarded as Indicative. 1t is true, of course, that Sisler was out of commission for one entire season—that of 1923, when a sinus affliction <o impaired his vision that playing was out of the question, and it also is a fact that because the hig league playing period was curtailed at the time of the World War and that, due to.ties or postponements, a club fre- quently plays a game or so more or less than the number listed for it, the figures on total contests scheduled are inaccurate, but this discrepancy applies to both cqually and does not affect the obvious conclusions, Then, the statistics not only prove Sisler by far the sturdier of the two, but reveal that he is enormously more valuable as a base runner, with a big leagué total of 352 stolen bases, as against 165 for Judge, while George has a lifetime batting average of close to while Joe misses few points. To the very end Sisler maintained his popularity with the fans of all degrees in St. Louis. His passing is universally regretted there, although followers of the pastime recognize that it was a logical gmve to make in the thorough rebuilding now in progress for the rowns. getting into the charmed circle of .300 hitters by a Howley's Tribute to Sisler. And that he is held in the highest esteem by the club manage- ment is shown by the tribute paid him by Dan Howley, who last scason succeeded Sicler as manager of the Browns. “"M man ever played more loyally than George Sisler did for me.” Howley asserted at the recent New York mecting when the sale to Washington was announced. . “Ii all ball players would hustle and give their best as George did for me, the manager’s job would be much easier. It was not an easy thing to do. to relinquish the managerial reine and play for another man. But Sisler did it for me, and how he did work ! “When his leg was injured <o that any other plaver would have gone to the hospital, George hobbled out on the field cach day and refused to get out. We were in bad shape and could ill afiord to lose our first baseman. George knew we were hard up and he played. He risked serious injury. “Nobody regrets the loss of Sisler more than T do and T wish George all the luck in the world. There never was a more honorable fl'-" in b}s: ball.

These are prime causes of fumbling the ball. Another point to watch is not to put too much speed on the bull when making short passes. Some- times fumbling is due to the play- ers being too tired. That is a point up to the coach. Paseing, like shooting, should be done_with the fingers. Also, use the fingers to break the force of a pass when receiving it.
