COMISKEY, MACK STILL ARE ON J0B Former Is Real Pioneer of Game and Retains Great BY JONN B. FOSTER. NLY two are left in the Amer- ican League of its original founders. They are Charles Power in Pastime. A. Comiskey of Chicago and Connie Mack of Philadelphia Henry Killilea, owner of the Mil- waukee Base Ball Club, who died re- cently, was not a first president of an American_League club. It was his brother, Matt, who was president of the Milwaukee Club in 1900 and 1901, fcan League. Henry was president of Boston in| 1903, succeeding Charles W. Somers of | Cleveland, who kept the American League alive by his financial assistance | and then became so involved person- | ally, when the money market tightened, | that he lost nearly all that he had, | Somers Out of Game. Somers lives in Cleveland. He is| eompletely out of base ball. Indian- | apolis was a member in the first of the | American League and W. H. Watkins | was president. Kansas City was a| member, with Jimmy Manning, an old- | time bail player, as president. Kansas | City is no longer in the circuit and | Manning has passed on. James Franklin, long connected with base ball, was one of the original American League club presidents in Buffalo, Had Buffalo shown interest in the league, Washington might not have t in. Minneapolis was a member in 900, with Clarence Saulbaugh as pres- ident, but it was a foregone conclusion that Saulbaugh and Minneapolis were to far away for a circuit that might be | extended East. | Oleveland was a member in 1900, | with Jack Kilfoyle at the head of the club. He was a personal friend of Somers. Detroit also was in, with Jim Burns as president. None of the East- ern clubs were members until 1901. The American League was then strictly a ‘Western institution. Mack Is a Veteran. Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland are charter members, but Connie Mack earns his title along with Comiskey as veteran through his association with | Killilea in Milwaukee. | When the league determined to ex- pand and carry the fight to the Na- tional League, Mack was called upon to go to Philadelphia as a reward for what e had done. Ban Johnson said Phila- delphia folks would like him. Johnson's judgment was sound. Mack found favor with the Philadelphians | from the start. He gave them good base ball. He won the championship in 1902. His team was second the next year. In 1805 he won again and in. the Fall of that season the Athletics played in the first World Series worth while, They ‘were defeated by the Giants. ‘This was the hardest blow that Mack had in the early seasons of his career. All Philadelphia was sure that the Ath- Jeties would win. Some pocketbooks ‘were not only cleaned out, but thrown away. Mack brought his team back in 1907 and the fans ‘ornve him, Comiskey of Old School. Comiskey is the real pioneer of the American League and in more ways than one its most sul tis er snd leader. He is strictly of the old~ fashioned school and he cannot be con- verted to the idea that a ball player should think of anything other the world than base ball. Nothing makes him more bitter than to see a young Pplayer lag in practice or loaf in a game. Joseph W. Gordon, who was the first ident of the New York Club, enter- in 1803, died recently in New York. ¥ ht first presidents of individual clubs of the league have on. Comiskey is still as great a power as ever, although he does no care to exer- eise his power very much. Col. Ruppert in New York has made himselt a power because of the im- ce of his club and his insistence. league never has been divided ‘into factions as the National League has been. That was originally due to its first president, Ban Johnson. PUTTING OF HAGEN IS LIKE EATING PIE BY SOL METZGER. ‘Walter Hagen crouches over his putt more than Jones and holds his club a bit farther from him. He starts the club back with a left- hand push, the left arm straighten- ing at the wrist at the finish of this backswing, the right arm turning back at the wrist. As ths stroke back is a left-handed one entirely, the club is kept low to the ground. when_it was a member of the Amer- | | HAGEN STROKES CLUB THROUGH WITH RIGHT~ HANDS LEADING But its face opens. The left wrist automatically rotates to cause this opening of the club's face. There is practically no body movement in this part of the stroke. On the through stroke with his utter it s evident that the right and does the entire work, the left merely acing as guide. And this right-hand grip of Hagen's, though al! four fingers are on the shaft, is practically a thumb and first finger grip. They seem to apply the motive power. After contact his clubhead follows streight on line after the ball. Thus the rotation of the left arm on the backswing that opens the face of his putter is discontinued at contact.

T've never seen anything like it, when Gregg's arm was right. He had a sore arm that he had to watch, but on his big day he had & curve that beat them all. I remember when Pittsburgh went over to play Cleveland in a post-season series. “Pittsburgh had a great club that year. But Gregg unrolled that curve of his, and all he did was to strike out 21 men and shut us out. “When you are fanning 21 big league ball players in a single game, largely through a curve, you are throwing a curve. He nailed most of our big hitters two or three times.” Three of the best curved ball pitch- ers of the game are Amos Rusie, Rube Waddell and Dazzy Vance, who is still starring. These three all carried a curve that traveled with a blast of speed, a curve that came out of a fast one and broke with a crack. Waddell's curve was not only fast, but extremely large. Even when he was supposed to be a worn-out has-been, sent from Phila- delphia to St. Louis in the twilight of his career, the Rube turned on his old mates and struck out 17 of them in a game. He wanted to show Connie Mack that the Athletic manager had made a slight mistake in placing him among the discards, After that game Mr. Mack was quite willing to admit that the Rube still could throw a ball. Another Helen Wills? Grea$ tennis players or great golfers or great anything else come nlonf in shoals. And you can't always tell, frt the way they look when the game is young. But Chicago has a young ten- Miller. B. Stevinson's statements have always been true in the past. We have always found the District champion to be a man of the utmost veracity, and one who would rather lose a champion- ship by a dozen strokes than make a misstatement of fact. But “Steve” 1s just back from the Southland with a yarn that sounds like the pipe dreams of a duffer rather than the sober state- ment of a player who knows about ail there is to know about this tricky game Scotland willed to us. Stevinson claims that while in Florida he was putting on the eighth green of a course near Lakeland, 308 yards from the tee, when a ball, apparently driven from the tee, whizzed over his head and struck the back edge of the green to vanish in the tall grass behind the putting surface. On its face it is just another one of those instances which cause endless argument as to just what distance a golf ball may he driven on the carry. No one has yet settled that argument satisfactorily, but Stevinson's story makes it appear that some one has at_least succeeded in driving a golf balld(lr enough to carry more than 300 yards, The District champion insists it was driven from the tee, over the inference of J. E. Bains that possibly the anony- mous long hitter had topped his tee shot and played a healthy iron shot from an unseen piece of rough. Stevinson unquestionably is sincere, and he is not given to exaggeration. But we have seen some long wallops, and we have yet to see one carry more than 270 yards—even one of the best hit by the mastodon of Indian Spring—J. Munro= 1d's big hitters. Only a fortnight remains before the THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE nis player by the name of Helen Fulton, age Wills, Critics says she is as good as Miss Wills was at the same age, and Miss Wills was no bad tennis player at 15, Miss Fulton has a form and power. She strokes the ball after the manner of a first-class player, and she has a lot of drive back of her stroking. She also has a first- class competitive disposition, which embraces both determination and cooiness. She won the junior championship of Chicago last year and, while she still needs more tournament experience, she will be up among the first three in an- other year. The Recovered Fumble. ‘To judge from many of the com- ments written, there is now no penalty for fumbling & foot ball and no reward for recovering a fumble. On the other side, there is the pen- alty of losing the ball, which means from 40 to 60 yards, and there is the reward of taking over the ball and kick~ ing it back out of danger. Last Fall N. Y. U. fumbled on Georgetown’s 7-yard line, with a touchdown. Under the new rule, it would be Georgetown’s ball where a good kicker would ram it back past the middie of the field. This seems to be about all the pemalty a me- chanical error should carry. The ntucklng or offensive team is always the one that suffers the psnalty of fumbling. The heavier butden is placed upon the team nlnl‘ the rrolmd and holding the ball. here it is always well to remember that re- covering a fumble is as much a matter of luck as it is of skill. For any one who can re in which direction a foot ball will bound can ter, who probably ranks | take a step on beyond Einstein’s theo! of remlfi?y. ™ . STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE through the land as golfers resume their attempts to conquer the unconquerable game again, The annual meetings of the Middle Atlantic Golf Aslochon last night officially opened the season, althm:gh the courses about Washington generally remained closed because of bad ground conditions, The midatlantic mee! had little of importance to come before it, and was given over largely to awarding of places and dates for the two major tournaments held annually by that body. A week hence, the District Golf Asso- ciation will meet to consider two im- portant changes in the constitution, and officially set dates for the two cham- gflommp tournaments held by that body. t is also customary at the District meeting to finally fix the dates for the several invitation tournaments held about Washington. Roland R. MacKenzie, Washington's outstanding amateur golfer, and a member of the past two Walker Cup teams, is in Florida, enjoying a brief Winter vacation. He will return to | Washington in a few days. — . £ AKRON RETAINS CLUB. DECATUR, Ill, March 2 (®).—Akron, Ohlo, will retain its franchise in the Central League, L. J. Wylie, president of the league, said in announcing that the circuit would be composed of the same six clubs as last year. The six clubs are Akron, Dayton, Fort Wayne, Springfield (Ohio), Canton and Erie. WOULD LEGALIZE RACING. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 2 (#).— | | A bill to authorize horse racing and pari-mutuel betting under the supervi- slon of a racing commission was de- | elick of the wooden club and the loud wails following missed putts will resound This early Winter and Spring season of golf has already pushed two pro- spective champions into the limelight-or spotlight. They are Helen Hicks, the sensational girl player of Long Island, and Horton Smith, the 21 or 22 year- oid professional from Joplin, Mo. Here you have two of the greatest young stars the game has known since the ap- | pearance of Bobby Jones and Glenua Collett, Miss Hicks has now won three big tournaments in a row down South. Bhe has beaten such stars as Maureen Oreutt, Virginia Van Wie and Mrs. Reinhardt, annex national champion- ship. The young Long Islander is both strong and supple. She can hit a golf ball almost as far as any young woman in the game today and she is getting ,h‘euer control of her short game under fire. Miss Hicks is almost certain to win a championship in the next two or three | years—pessibly before she is 20. As far as that go he is good enough to win la ip now, with the right power s a big factor, ke Helen Wills and Glenna Collett. It is Helen Hicks one of new sea- champion reaxs.

Tales of a Wayside Tee BY GRANTLAND RICE since any young golfer or any other golfer ever had such a record for steady, consistent play. In one tournament after another he has run 1.2-3 against the greatest professionals in the game. The soundness of his iron play has been a big factor in this long span of low scoring. And iron play will be a big teature of the next open at Wing Foot, where all the small, well trapped greens call for a rifleman, Horton Smith will be one of the big factors in the next open, unless he happens to have one of those off-weeks that hit almost every golfer with the possible ex- ception of Jones. E Any number of good golfers come along from time to time, but few great ones develop as the seasons slip by. They seem to pick up some mey the test of 72 holes or a week’s play. The defect. may be slight, but 1t sats into the swing as the pressure gets harder, A golfer with a slight fault in the fundamentals of swinging may shoot, a 68 in his fist round, but he can't fight this fault for 72 holes. Many of these golf: nervous tems are jumpy, but because certain ndamental faults wear them strain is greater on them than it is on the golfer who is hitting the ball in the right way. Horton Smith and Miss Hicks have a B big start because their games are sound.

The | pai] SELIGSON IS VICTOR IN COLLEGE TENNIS By the Associated Press. ITHACA, N. Y, March 2.-—Julius Seligson of Lehigh University success- fully defended the Larned Cup, trophy at stake in the Cornell University in- tercollegiate indoor tennis tournament, by defeating Ted MacDonald of Dart- mouth in the final today, 6—4, 6—4, 6—4. The stocky Lehigh youth, who holds the intercollegiate outdoor champion- ship as well as having won this Win- ter fixture a year ago, had too much experience and command of his shots for the Dartmouth player, a ‘“dark horse,” whose brilliance had been one of the surprises of the earlier rounds. Seligson steamed through the semi- finals as well as the finals today without loss of a set, having eliminated Gabriel Lavine of Pennsylvania, 6—32, 6—3, while MacDonald put out Harry Wolf of 7wn;£a'x1ns 5ln the other semi-final, 4—8, 'WYNKOOP HIGH GUN IN CLUB TRAPSHOOT Despite adverse weather, some good scores were registered at the weekly ‘Washington Gun Club shoot yesterday afternoon at the Benning range. Dr. J. C. Wynkoop led the shots at 50 targets, scoring 48 breaks. Dr, A.V. Parsons and Robert Welsh were next in_this competition, each with 44 hits. Henry Bartholomew, newly elected president of the club, shattered 20 of 24 targets to point the way in the doubles. The scheduled four-month trophy race was not held. Next Saturday the Washington trap- shots will get in some training for their team match to be held here with Oriole Gun Club of Baltimore March 16, So far, Washington has three wins to one for Baltimore in the series of seven matches. .

BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORK, March 2.—The re- luctance of the Waner brothers, Paul and Lloyd, to sign their contracts for the season of 1929 has developed an unusual sort of disturbance among the players of the Pittsburgh team who are at Paso Robles. ‘Those now at work think the Pirates have a chance to win the pennant and play in another world series. Naturally they are eager to have the season cul- minate for them in that manner, but they are not foolish enough to think they have as good & chance to win without the Waners as they would have with them. Ball players are very practical now- adays in looking at anything in which money is involved. The world serles has led up to that sort of thing, and the owners must bear the burden of trouble if there is such a thing as trouble in connection with it, for the owners have made the world serles much a matter of finance by their disposition to get their “cut” out of it. Perhaps if the owners had adhered more strictly to the policy of making the event one for the players only, they would have less trouble with some of the young men they deal with each Spring and Winter. Pirates Not Pleased. The ball players of the Pittsburgh club_assume that their chance to win the National League championship and get into the world series increases in proportion to the work to be had from the Waners. ‘Therefore they think the famous brothers are doing them a hurt as serious as any injury being inflicted upon the owner of the club. In fact, some of the players think the Waners are hurting Barney Dreyfuss and his son. One of them said: 5 “Some of us won't be in major league base ball much longer. Here we have a team that is as apt to come through as New York or Chicago, and the Waners should be as ready to help us as they are to help themselves. “In our time we have done some share to help the Waners. Some of us were players of the Pittsburgh club when the Okiahoma kids got their share of money and fame out of base ball, and we help~ ed to make them because we helped to make Pittsburgh a winner. If they had been with a losing team, where would they be now. They wouldn't even be in a position to demand big money. Any %!ly:r who is & member of a gof base ball team can afford to gamble a little on the. chance to share in the big pot after the champlionship season is over.” WALKER-LOUGHRAN GO NOW SEEMS ASSURED CHICAGO, March 2 (#).—The Tommy Loughran-Mickey Walker light-heavy- weight championship match, opening the Chicago Stadium March 28, was virtually assured today. The Illinots State Athletic Commis- sion announced it would sanction the match if Jack Kearns, Walker's man- ager, would post $10,000 guaranteeing to go through with a middleweight title contest with Ace Hudkins either in Las Vegas, Nev.,, or 8an Francisco next July.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 2.— Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Va., won the woman's tennis championship of Bermuda today, defeating Miss M. J. Harland of England in the final, 7—9, , 6—2. ‘There were plenty of thrills in the international duel between Miss Harland and Miss Anderson. The loser's forte was her powerful deep driving, by which she won the first four games. Miss Anderson then seemed to solve the prob- lem by effective court covering and mix- ing up her shots, pulling up to make it 4-all. From then on it was nip and tuck with the American player finally forced to yield the first set before her op- ponent’s impetuous rally, In the second set also Miss Ander- son started poorly, but this time she was able to come from behind to win it, squaring the match and then taking the deciding set. Miss Anderson employed a well rounded net game and decisive vollying. J. Gilbert Hall, young Orange, N. J., star, and Edgar Dawson of New York won the men’s doubles supremacy in a hard-fought final round match against Herbert L. Bowman of New York and Henry R.
