WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, NUARY 30, 1928, 25 YEARS OF BAN JOHNSON By John B. Foster. XII—The Split Between Johnson and McGarw. LL the excitement of the first two years of the base ball war be- tween the attacking American League and the defending National League was as noth- ing compared to what took place in 1902. In that year the split came be- tween Ban Johnson and John J. Mc- Graw. It had been predicted almost from the start of base ball relations between these two vigorous and color- ful personalities. Once the vice presi- dent of the American League—Charles Somers—declared that Johnson and McGraw _never would get along to- gether. They never did. McGraw, who was at the head of the Baltimore club of the American League and had money invested in it. was not certain that the new leaguc was to be a success. He still had a yearning to get back to the National | League, with which he had been con- | nected as a player, for the thought its | | stability was such that it would last for all time. Discipline Irked McGraw. Of more significance, however, was the fact that McGraw did not like the kind of discipline that Johnson en- forced among players and managers. Johnson had gone after the Baltimore players and even their manager—Mc- Graw had been fined $100 and sus- pended for five days in May 1901, for disputing an umpire. Johnson was de- termined to make the American League a paragon in base ball, so far as the behavior of its players was concerned. Events moved rapidly in 1902 when the National Leaguc learned that the Baltimore club might be purchased. The secretary of the New York Nationals was sent to Baltimore to ne- gotiate with McGraw and finally in- duced him to sign a contract to man- age the New York team. John T. Brush. a leader in National League af- fairs. was aware of what was going on and he persuaded some of the Balti- more players to go with him. McGraw took wnat he wanted from his team and one sunny afternoon in |p, Baltimore all of the boys packed up and left for New York or Cincinnati, or for whatever other National League citv they might have destination. Thus the city of Baltimare was without club the American a in Team Standing. F.-D. Commerce F.-D.

MEXICO CITY, January 30.—Pau- lino Uzcudun, Basque woodchopper, to- day holds the heavyweight champion- ship of Latin America, attained by the knockout route. A relentless attack near the end of the third round by Uzcudun felled his Chilean rival, Quintin Romero-Rojas, in their scheduled 15-round encounter yesterday. The Chilean was counted out. ‘The Basqué had such a slight ad- vantage in the first two rounds that the knockout came with a suddenness which surprised the spectators. Just before the volley of blows which de- cided the match, Romero put up his hands to guard his face. His body thus was left unprotected. Paulino pounded the Chilean belo.w the heart with o shower of rights and lefts. Ro- mero crumpled and sank, writhing, to the canvas. ‘The Chilean was aggressive during the first two rounds and courageous to the end. The fighting was mostly at close quarters. Although Romero smashed several rights and lefts to Paulino’s body, he seemed unable to do any damage. Paulino drove Romero into the cor- ners at the beginning of the first round. He continued to hammer his opponent whenever an opening was presented. After he had been counted out, Ro- mero recovered quickly. He showed no trace of punishment, while Paulino bled profusely about the face, partic- Approximately 40,000 persons cheer- ed the victor for several minutes after Romero shook him by the hand.

Hibbe > T Par Ratings of District Links Ridiculous fo S an example of the way the modern golf ball and modern skill have made the par of golf courses seem ridiculous, there is not a golf course around Washington today whose par—the old standard of perfect golf—has not been broken. And not :)ytor;: stroke, but frequently by several strokes. ’Iqhe great length of the golf ball of today and the facility with which it is played by the modern masters of the game have made par a thing to laugh at and st up some new standards of super-skill in golf. No longer is par the great thing although for most golfers, par is quite hard enough. The stars shoot for the birdies, and even the eagles, backed by the tremendous length of the new ball. Burning Tree Beaten. Burning Tree, with its par of 68, is admittedly the hardest course to score ar on around Washington. Yet at Pelst three players have beaten par over this super-course within the past year, and golfers here distinctly recall how Leo Diegel shot a 66 in a match against Fred McLeod, to (vnd all square with the Columbia mentor. Then there is Columbia, with its 6,600 yards of length. Columbia has been made in 66 and 67 many times in the past two or three years, against its par of 71. Indian Spriny has a par of 71, yet, Miller B. Stevinson, competing in the District amateur championship, in a medal play event, where all putts had to be holed, did the cburse in 67—four strokes under par. This was only one r Golf of Today culty to make up for its lack of great length, has been done in 68 by Maurice J. McCarthy and in 67 and 68 many times by Dave Thomson, the club professional. Chevy Chase Near Standard. i Chevy Chase, whose par of 69 s nearer the true standard of scoring for the course than most of the lay- out around Washington, has succumb- ed to the length of the ball and the ac- curacy of the modern expert. Robert T. Barnett, the club pro, has made the course in 66 at least twice, and has had several scores better than par. The Argyle par has been shattered, East Potomac Park has fallen under the { tremendous smiting of the up-to-date ball, Bannockburn has been conquered and even the very difficult Town and Country Club layout has been met and conquered by the golfing gentry. Perhaps the remedy is to increase the yardage required from certain strokes, making a hole up to 475 yards a par 4, for example, and stretching the par 5s well beyond 600 yards. And perhaps the answer lies in so regulating the ball | that it cannot be driven so far so often. The United States Golf Association is working along that line, and golfers are promised some sort of standardization shortly that will cut down the length | of the ball. | Armour Not Winning.

Joshua Crane, former polo and racquet star and a keen student of every phase of golf. has perfected. in addition to his scientific method of rating golf holes. a one-handed putter with which he plays exceed- ingly well. I have sketched him stroking the ball. There is a good deal of sound sense in the idea. First place, Crane eliminates any chance to throw his putts off line by body movement, as he rests his left hand on his left knee and his right elbow on his right knee, He can also get far enough over the ball to almost sight the line. As the club is quite short the matter of balance and weight, which often upset a putt, are pretty nearly eliminated. Crane strokes the putt with his first finger down the rear of the shaft. That is sound, as Mrs. Alexa Stirling Prazer of Toronto, former U. 8. women's champion, has proved in many a hard match. The idea is novel and well worth a good try out this Winter in case one has been putting poorly and has no chance to get on the links in cold weather. A rug or carpet will supply the green and any of the simple indoor putting devices the cup. ADY ME MOST OF YR PAY Fo Northeast Savings | Federal 'American Natjonal Metron. .
