The most unexpected feature of the | American League vote was, the fact that Manush of the St. Louis Browns ran a close sccond to Cochrane. This is one of the most interesting incidents of base ball because it represents the queerest reversals of form, or personal judgment, what that can be cited. h was traded to the Browns by George Moriarty, who resigned this | week as manager of the Detroit Tigers. because the outfielder would not bat to conform to suggestions made by Moriarty. At least that is the explana- | tion that has been advanced After his transfer to St. Louis prior to the 1928 season. Manush became one of the leading batters of the American League and a leading candidate for the | title of most valuable player to his team. Thus it develops that the committee of | newspaper writers and Manager Mori- | arty were miles apart in their judgment | of Manush's base ball skill. It is the | most striking demonstration of a man- ager losing prestige in one big lump by a trade that has come before the base ball public of the United States. H. Rice Batted Only .307. Rice, who' went from St. Louis to De- | © troit in the Manush trade. batted .307 | the past season. Manush batted about | .376. The figures are unofficial, but the; are good enough for comparison.

Not only must the goifer have length from the tee in order to have satisfactory roun but direc- tien as well. Jones s his tee as do all stars, with relation to the socond shot. I recall play- ing a round with Alex Tait, the Wilmingion pro. The cighteenth green was visible only from the fif- teenth. When we finished that hole I noticed him scanning the last green. Why? Well, he wanted to locate exactly where the cup was before he went to the last tee, from which point it was not easily de- termined, the green being on a bluff, Walter Hagen once won the West- ern open by playing his tee shot on one hole to an adjoining fairway. Why? Merely because it gave him a b approach—no traps to carry, a banked green to pitch to. Harry Vardon won one British open title in the heydey of his ca- reer by playing all his tee shots to the rough. Heavy rains had soft- the feirways until most balls burfed in them. The rough gave him better lies. With fall rains coming and soft fairways resulting this is a good plan for most players to follow, as the heavy grasses will be withered and a good lie usually awaiting the ball so placed. Place every shot in relation to the one to follow. That is the way star play- ers gain the top.

Seeninlhe Royal EnClOS From Maker to Wearer REGAL Regal Factories, Whitman, Mass. 915-917 Pennsylvania Ave. 5 Style Authority HE best dressed men of England are seen in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot—and that’s where we first saw this Box Cloth Top Shoe. In this fashionable group you meet the style leaders of the world—men who do things different and wear things different and are not afraid to express their preference and personality. And not the least important of this select set was the Prince of Wales himself who wore a Box Cloth Top shoe into the Royal Box. Our next move was to find a bootmaker who made shoes for Royalty and we found Bartley. Bartley and Sons have been making shoes for more than 100 years in the same spot (493 Oxford St., London W.). They hold Royal Warrants of Appointment to His Majesty the King and to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. We paid Bartley £5:10 ($26.50) for this grey English Box Cloth Top Boot trimmed with Russia Calf-—and we bought 40 pairs so that we could show one of Bartley’s original custom models with the Regal Reproduction side by side in every Regal Store in U.S.A. The lasts are identical in both measurement and appearance and the design is exactly the same. The Upper Leather of Bartley’s original is an Imported Calfskin tanned in Oisterwyk, Holland, and in the Regal Reproduction we are using the same identical tannage. But Price isn’t the only diffcrence. Bartley's shoes are all made and sewn by hand. Our shoes are sewn by the same machine as practically all high priced American shoes. In Bartley’s shop only four men handle the shoe from the time it is cut until it is finished. In our Factory about 150 different persons perform some operation on a Regal Shoe.
