How often recently have you seen such sport- page headings as “High's Big Bat Cracks Morale of McCarthy’s Team” or “High's Homer Sinks Reds,” etc., etc.! Whata wow that little man has been this year, and the strangest part of it all is that he wasn’t even counted on as a regular at the start of the season! Manager Billy Southworth hadn't intended using High on his Cardinal Varsity. (Sounds like a Stanford foot ball team.) Frisch was to play third, with Selph second, or, if that didn’t work. Frisch would ‘stay at second and Fred Haney would play third. Neither combination clicked, though, so Handy Andy was given a try at third, and you can tell from the way he has been knocking the old onion around lately whether or not he has been a success. Brooklyn fans referred to High as T Theories Numerous On Starting of Drive BY SOL METZGER. There are a dozen theories about how to start the driver back after one takes his stance on the tee. Mitchell begins with a slight lateral hip slide to the right. Duncan says you do it from the balls of the feet. Some begin by pushing back with a Bogagy JONES HIS 1DEA 16 FHAT THE —— OUND SIMULTANEOUSLY el Weaqyr— straight left arm. Others push from the left shoulder. It is much a mat- ter of choice. There is but one com- mon principle followed. All use a straight left arm from shoulder to wrist. One of the reasons for this con- fusion is that it is almost impossible for a great golfer to tell you how he actually piays a stroke. It is in- deed difficult to take it apart and build it up, a plece at a time. Nearly every star will inform you that his idea in driving is to concentrate en- tirely upon hitting the ball. That is Bobby Jones' thought, and iUs the best of all. As near as Jones can figure his backswing he says he starts the club back with his whole left side—body, arm and leg coming around together. One won't be far wrong if he follows such advice. Next—the part the left arm plays in the stroke. IRISH TRACK LUMINARY QUITS ARMY TO COACH By the Assoclaled Press. Lieut. G. N.

Andy hit .324 that year, but slumped badly in '25, was sold to Boston, and, in 1928, traded, with $30,000, to the Cards for Lester Bell. Now this little midget of base ball is among the five lead~ ing hitters of the league with a .382 average, and is knocking out wallops worthy of a Ruth or a Hornsby.

It's a lot of fun and good business at the time, but it makes tough times to follow. The players want more money and the public wants more pennants. But these base ball magnates may talk sense when they're saying that they'll go right ont nad fight tooth and nail for a flag. The late Jack Dunn, greatest manager in the miners, won pennants year after year with the Baltimore Orioles and saw his crowds dwindle. He knew it was bad business, but he fought as hard for his seventh straight flag, with 500 fans in the stands, as he did for the first one, with crowds turned away. Every base ball manager and club owner wants to win a pennant, ,and after winning one wants another.

Every Tuesday night, over the Columbia network, Paul Whiteman’s orchestra thrills the radio world with dance music, played as only Whiteman can play it. OLD GOLD sponsors this radio hour. But strangely enough, not once during the hour has the claim ever been made that OLD GOLD is the best of all cigarettes! Instead, just a moment is borrowed from Whiteman’s music to ask smokers to find out for themselves which cigarette is best, by making the ‘‘concealed name’’ test, in their own homes. No cigarette-maker can justifiably say that his cigarette is the best for everyone. Tastes differ. Why not let your taste decide which cigarette you like best . . . with all brand prejudice removed?
