Cleveland, 16; New York, 13, Brooklyn, 44; Trenton, 25. BY JOE KIRKWOOD, Former Australian Open Champion. CONSIDER Walter Hagen the great- est master of the approach shot 1 ever saw. His method of bringing the club through with the slightest H pinch possible on soft turf and fin- j ishing with hands and club pointingto | the hole is the soundest possible oxecu- | tion of the shot. When I am playing well I handle it the same way, and there is no better manner of doing it, believe me. The best approach shot I've seen, | though, was glayed by Johnny Farrell, who can stick them up there himself. It came in the four-ball matches that ! attracted so much attention in Miami a year ago last March. Defenders in Trouble. It was raining cats and dogs as the event narrowed to the finish. Farrell and Gene Sarazen were defending cham- plons, and they were having a rather rough time trying to stave off Tommy Armour and Bobby Cruickshank in the final match.

By the Assoclated Press. LEARWATER, Fla., March 11.— For the first time in many years, Wilbert Robinson, presi- dent-manager of the Brooklyn Robins, is a bit worrled over his pitching staff. The Robins long have had excellent pitching which got them nowhere be- cause the defense or the hitting was weak. This year Robinson is not even sure that he will have good pitching. Dazzy Vance, if he can be persuaded to "fi & contract, and Doug McWeeny will the backbone of the staff, but this pair exhausts the stock of con- sistent winners. Andy Cohen can keep up his present streak of hitting John McGraw will not have to look any further for a second baseman for his New York Giants. Andy Reese had the inside track for the job. But ever since the exhibition season started Cohen has been hitting the ball on the nose and safely. He got a double and a single as the Giants :fl&mled San Antonio again yesterday, AVON PARK, Fla, March 11 (#)— ‘Three home runs failed to save the St. Louis Cardinals in yesterday's exhibi- tlon tussle at Sarasota with the India- napolis Indians, and the assoclation out- fit clubbed a 11-to-7 victory off the offerings of three recrult hurlers. The luckless hurlers were Bysco, Follard and Ginther, while the three circuit wallops were made by Delker, Holm and Pepper. In addition Selph got a triple and Douthit and Gelbert hit doubles. Frankie Prisch was expected in camp today. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 11 (P).—John A. Heydler, president of the LAREDO, Tex, March 11 ().—It|program National League, was a visitor today at the Braves camp here. He will at- tend the first of the exhibition games staged by the Tribe with the St. Louis Cardinals. President-manager Emil Fuchs denied reports from the Brooklyn dugout that the Dodgers were to buy Eddie Farrel, former Glant shortstop. now competing with “Rabbit” Maranville for a regular berth in the Braves’ infleld. He sald the Brooklyn management had made an offer for Farrell, but that he had given it no consideration. WINTER HAVEN, Fla., March 11 (®). —The Phillles began their two-a-day T today somewhat jubilant over their one-sided victory in their first reg;llnr game of the training season. ighteen players, two complete teams, got into action in yesterday's tussie with Winter Haven Pile Drivers, the Phils romping in 14 to 1. ‘The work of George Susce, Rookie catcher for the Phils, brought favorable comment. Susce is a semi-pro, who quit the University of Pittsburgh for a chance to get into the majors. AVALON, Catalina Island, Calif, March 11 (®)—After breaking even with Los Angeles in their first two exhibition games of the season, the Cubs were back on Catalina Island for more conditioning today. Manager Joe McCarthy is satisfled his club has finally got enough batting punch for a Natiohal League pennant, 50 his worrles have revolved to pitching and the infleld. Rogers Hornsby wielded his heavy wil- low with usual {usw in the angels series, cracking out two homers, a brace of doubles, a single and accounting for seven runs. DOWN THE LINE WITH W. O. McGEEHAN Copyright, 1929, New York Tribune, Inc. Dull Days for Caulifiowers. USINESS promises to be rather dull in the caulifiower industry this year. Jack Dempsey has announced his conditional retirement—that is to say, while he may fight some more he will not fight this year. For the Battle of the Century of the current year there remains only Josef Paul Cuko- schay against what you have. Senor Paulino Uzcudun is available, but you cannot pack the great open Call | spaces of the Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds with a bout between Cukoschay and Uzcudun. It would mean nothing whatever in regard to the settlement of the claim for the heavyweight championship. There is Herr Max Schmeling; but he is back in Germany, followed by his pack of managers. - Mr. Dempsey's announcement that he has retired for the year seems to indicate that there will be no attempt to find a heavyweight champion in the immediate future. It seems that Mr. Dempsey is prepared to wait until he sees what develops after the various elimination contests. These promise to be terrible and naturally will start the ballyhoo for a Dempsey return to the ring. When Gene Tunney quit the ring he quit it forever. He had no regard whatever for the manly art of modified murder. He seems to have left business conditions in the caulifiower industry in quite as confused a condition as did James J. Jeffries when he announced his retirement and tossed the title in the direction of Marvin Hart. But the Jeffries retirement proved to be only temporary. When he was offered enough to return he staged the fatal comeback at Reno. I am quite sure that there is not enough money to induce Tunney to return to the ring. This leaves Mr. Dempsey master of the complicated situation. Business of Coming Back. might happen in the course of the year that Max Schmeling will become the e, contender.” That would furnish an object for Mr. Jack Dempsey to mx:::n‘:g his return to the ring. The ballyhoo for that one would be, “Keep the championship in the United States.” The Muldoon-Tunney trophy would go to Mr. Dempsey and the former heavywelght champlon might then Tetire grace- | {as 1 7In the meantime, Mr. Dempsey seems disposed to follow the policy of watch- | ful waiting. He might become a promoter for the time being. He might try the drama again. He might or might not become the manager of Madison Square Garden, but it is certain that he will return to the ring sooner or later. They all do. There are just three champions who have retired per- manently. These are Jack McAuliffe, Benny Leonard and Gene Tunney. All of the ex-champions, including Jeffries, Fitzsimmons and Corbett, tried cll b:)':ek-. H I.lu iting f T, 'm] ‘Wal lor gates. It is mpygl?ouon thn.‘l( he hesitates that long, he will have a long white beard before he steps into the ring again.” The last big gate was at Chicago. The B.;tle of wmt t :l‘xe:: at Miami showed that the customers are getting scarcer and scarcer for . ‘The peak of the cnmimwer industry seems to have been reached. When Mr. Dempsey does return to the ring—and there is no doubt that he will—he will realize that the days of the golden caulifiowers have passed. German Has a Claim. looks now as though Germany might claim the heavywelght champlonship while Mr. Dempsey and the American promoters are mediating. According to an Associated Press dispatch, Franz Diener of Germany. won a decision over Gyps‘ Daniels. is would seem to mean nothing much, but Gypsy Daniels, only, a short time before Max Schmeling came to the United States, scored a knockout over Schmeling. The victory of Diener over Daniels then would seem to give Diener the heavyweight champlonship of Germany or of Europe, or wWhatever the pro- moters care to claim. Gypsy Daniels once it & few years in the United States under the management of the Boy ndit, James J. Johnson. He did not get very far. Diener also was one of the visiting heavyweights, but he did not im- the customers to any great extent. But the victory of Diener over Daniels might put him in line for a claim to the heavyweight champlonship. Schmeling le such an impression here that the man who knocked out Schmeling becomes quite an impressive figure, and just as he does he is beaten by Franz Diener. Some German promoter might put on a bout between Schmeling and Diener and declare the winner the heavyweight champion of the world. * There Is No Peace. ESPITE my efforts to bring about a universal intercollegiate peace, I note that Dartmouth and Brown have severed athletic relations. “The Brown Herald” is quite bitter about it. “The Herald” insists that Dartmouth is going in for the bigger and better gate receipts, and the publicity that comes with in- tersectional games. The problems of intercollegiate relations, so far as athletics are concerned, seem as easy to settle as those of Mexico.
