BY ALAN J. GOULD, ated Press Sports Editor. Ass shifts in the management of the St. Louis Cardinals form one of the most unusual chapters of recent base ball v, even though they do not seem handicapped the club's good showing in the pennant races. In four straight seasons, with as many different pilots having a hand at steer- ing the ship, the Cardinal banner has finished fourth, first, second and first in the National League. | Bill McKechnie, who probably con- siders it bad luck to win a pennant, is shifted to the Rochester Internationals | after losing the world series to the Yankees. The man he trades places with, Billy Southworth, moves up after winning the International League pen- nant, but losing the “little world series” to Indianapolis. Pennant Winners Fired. Branch Rickey vielded the Cardinal helm to Rogers Hornsby in 1925. After winning the pennant and world series in 1926 Hornsby was traded to the Giants. Bob O'Farrell succeeded to the managerial role, after capturing the most valuab'e player prize, but McKechnie, elevated from the job of coach, led the team to another pen. nhant and is now shunted to the minors. He had no better luck after winning | with the pennant and world series Pittsburgh in 1925, What these developments appear to need is not an explanation, but a psy- cho-analyst. New Pilot Is 34. ST. LOUIS. November 22 (#).—Billy Southworth, one of the heroes of the world-champion St. Louis Cardinals of 1926 and an idol of St. Louis fandom. has been named to manage the team in 1929, Southworth will be the Cards' fifth manager mdm; yearls and the youngest manager and the only play manager n)\dlhe National beazue.p H"enxgs 34 _v:grs ol Bucky Harris, Detroit pilot, is two vears Southworth's junior and the only other likely playing manager in the two major circuits. In naming Southworth, one of the most popular players who ever donned a Cardinal uniform, President Sam Breadon said he expected him to in- Jdect more fight and strictsr discipline in the Cardinal team. which under t! managership of William MecKechnie, won the league pennant this year, but Jost four straight to the Yankees in the world series, McKechnie will exchange places with Southworth, who managed Rochester, N. Y., a Cardinal farm, and led it to championship of the International League this year. Breadon praised Me- Kechnie's ability and expressed pleasurs he would remain in the Cardinal or- ganization. Picked by Straw Vote. When Southworth arrived this morn- ing from his home at Columbus, Ohio, Breadon congratulated him upon s landslide victory in 2 newspaper straw vote and caid he was glad to cast the deciding ballot. Billy was not long in eccepting. The new leader declarsd he would | play right fie at Rochester, .350. Southworth, who has had 10 years ex- perience and has played on five major league teams, came to the Cardinals in 1926 from th2 Giants and immediately was made regular rightfielder by Man- ager Rogers Hornsby. abls to hit as he did where he batted above FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR WILLIAM COYLE Funeral services for Coyle, sports editor of the Washington | Herald, who was stricken with a heart | attack Tuesday, were held this after- | noon at 1:30 o'clock at Hines' Xuneral‘ Services were conducted by Reyv.

Taylor, chairman of the Congres- | sional Country Club handicap commit- | tee, today is the maker, and in a sense not the maker, of a hole in one. He actually holed his fron shot from the tee at the ninth hole at Congressional, but it is doubtful if he could be credited | with a hole in one under the cir- cumstances. It came about in this fashion: Tay- lor was playing at Congressional with A friend in the teeth of a high wind, which swept from the west across the course. He hit a ball from the tee which carried far over the trees at the lef. and rolled down onto the first fair- way. Relieving the ball to bz lost, he hit another. This ball carried on the green and rolled up to the pin, coming to rest half way across the edge of the hole, but leaning against the flagstaff, which careened back and forth in the | wind. The caddie master, seeing the | shot. ran over and pulled the flag | out and the ball dropped in the cup. Taylor never found the first ball, and now he wonders if he can be credited | with an ace. A real ace was secured -at Congres- sional a few days ago by W. S. Smith, a member of Congressional and Ban- nockburn, who holed his midiron te: shot on the 197-yard third hole. This shot left no doubt about its destina- tion, for it struck in front of the green | and rolled directly into the cup. Tony Sylvester, former clubmaker for | Tommy Armour at Congressional, used to have quite a reputation as a maker of wooden clubs for the topnotchers of the game. And now that Sylvester has gone to Bannockburn and become a full-fledged professional, the mantle of | supremacy in clubmaking he enjoyed has fallen on another Tony — Tony Penna, the present clubmaker at Con- gressional. Only a short time ago Leo | Diegel came to Washington and de- parted with a half dozen wooden clubs | made by Penna.

Cun- ningham and Houghton did not start | way, and fiished their 36 holes just before dusk settled over the course. Charles P. Betschler, pro at the Mary- land Country Club, led the Baltimore contingent, with a card of 163. The course is guite new and only 9 holes of the projected 18-hole layout are completed. It meant four trips around the golf course for the professionals. Cunningham’s tee shots were not mod- els of accuracy, but his iron shots left him little to do on the putting greens.

GRIFFITH AND JOHNSON WILL LOOK FOR TRADES Believing there will be many Da- vid Harums present at the annual meeting of the minor leagues to he held in Torente December 5-7, Clark Griffith and Walter Johnson, big boys of the Washington base ball club, will be at hand when the little leaguers gather. Both Griffith and Johnson look for a heavy trading Winter and have ideas that some of the trading will be started at the Toronte meeting, for they have learned that many other major league magnates will attend. Although fairly well satis- fied with the material at hand for the making of the 1929 edition of th~ Nationals, the Washington chiefs are on the lookout for additional infield talert and the club has some- thing to off*r in the way of a deal that would bolster the inner cordon they hold. However. neithet is ready to state who is on the market. Burke Advises Using One Grip 1 was talking with Billy Burke, winner of the North and South open last Spring at Pinehurst, right after he had finished his last round and we fell to discussing grips. I came from that chat with a fine idea that I shall pass along to the rank and file, for Billy docs a great deal of teaching at his home club and very BURKE. USESL AHI& OVERLAPPIM G GRIP ON ALL CLUBS £ ST little tournament playing, except in the Winter. Burke uses but one grip for all shots, the overlapping one I have sketched. There is no change when he lays aside a wood and picks up his putter. Perhaps that is best for the average player who has so little time to give heed to the-usual golf problems that even vex the pros. It does stand to reason that the more such a player can simplify his game the better he should play. ‘Why then not do a bit of experi- menting during the coming Winter and a lot more thinking about your own particular game? No one can better solve your golf problems than ° yourself. Try to reason them out. If you can see any sound reason for changing your grip from wood to short irons and putter, then do so. But if you cannot, do not change grips just because you have scen some star do it, for there is just as much evidence to prove to you, if you take the trouble to investigate, that other stars, just as bright, hold to the same grip for all their shots.

As directors of the Garden they had just presented to the New York Rangers the Stanley Cup, emblem of the world professional cham- pionship, and their work was done for the evening. “They talked of hockey and then of fights, and out of the discussion came rabid argument, and finally one of the‘ strangest wagers ever made in sport. | 1 was organized on the next heavyweight champion of the world.

May Not Come Back. It seemed fo the rest almost a breach of friendship, an admission behind locked doors that the old Manassa Mauler Wwould never draw on 6-ounce gloves again despite the ballyhoo that presages another comcback. Dempsey had a supporter in John McEntee Bowman, hotel magnate. Tex warned him that Jack might never re- turn to the ring, that he had no di- rect knowledge on the subject, that the odds on Dempsey ever regaining the title Gene Tunney discarded were long | enough without adding the uncertainty surrounding the former champion's plans. Still Bowman took Dempsey. ‘When the list was made up, it was found that James I. Bush, the traction magnate, also favored Stribling to win | recognition as the next heavyweight | king. Bush and Rickard, therefore, were paired in their entry, and each | posted the required fee. Walter Chrys- | ler, who makes automobiles, chose | Knute Hansen, the melancholy Dane, along with Col. John Hammond, pres. ident of the Rangers Hockey Club.

When they had finished, they argued the matter out and then agreed to say | nothing about it for several reasons, | none of which mattered.
