The Pi listed as fitth in the club fielding fizures, but they were a shade behind the New York Giants, while two second division | teams, Cirtcinnati and Philadelphia, me fans may think that the Cuy- Adams-Scott trade will affect the | Pittsburgh batting strength next year.

The Pirates have also | acquired an outfielder in Scott who has not yet reached the point where | | he may have an unusual year in the | National League. His skill is better | than average and, some time he is likely to come thr8ugh with a season that will give him a fine reputation.

The fact that Philadelphia was the fourth batting team in the league, although tail-enders in the 1927 race, shows that all batting and lack of some other things cannot keep any outfit in the first division, Very arely has it been possible for a team of batsmen who were shy of flelding power and pitching strength also to win a high place. The Boston Braves were fifth in batting, which affords another fllustration of the fact that £ood batters will not offset weak spots in other parts of the team. BOXER IS IMPLICATED IN SHOOTING OF GIRL PHILADELPHIA, December 30 (), —Joe Tiplitz, former lightweight boxer of this city, is being held by police on charges of implication in the shoting of Della Roth, 20, early today.

Styles change in sport, as in dress. In golf every new title hold- er popularizes something in_the way of a method of play. Take grips as an example. The first grip used was the palm grip, which can be a finger grip as well. Abe Mitchell popularized it abroad by reason of his hard hitting. Cecil Leitch also used it for certain shots. In America ©hick Evans {s partial to it. Result, following 1916 the palm grip was {n vogue. Refore that Ouimet did much to further the interlocking grip by dint of his victories in 1913 and 1914, respectively, in the United States open and United States ama- teur. But the interlocking grip had troubles holding its own until Sara- zen won the United States open with it at Skokie The great mafjority of golfers, even the topnotchers, prefer the overlapping grip. Jones, Armour, Hagen, Sweetser, Von Elm and Col- lett use it and recommend it. It seems best in the long run. The grip is important, and should be with the fingers. It is the means of transferring your hitting power to the club. A brief test is necessary to clear a few pertinent facts about the grip. Grip any- thing with a hand. You will find that most power {s applied toward the rear, with the little finger pre- dominating. Touch anything and you use the tip of the first finger and thumb to feel it. Now note your grip on the golf club. The little finger of the right hand does not grip the handle. 1sn't that proof that your left hand must predominate in the golt swing?
