Then they called Lary Shawkey Follows Out Infield Plans Made Before Huggins Died. DY JCHN B. FOSTER. N New York Yankees from the Pacific Coast League, and will start at second base in the re- vamped infield of the team to be led by Manager Bob Shawkey. That is an A major league scout, writing East from San Francisco, has this to say about Rcese lake it strong that Recse will be successful in 1930. He is the nearest to major league caliber of In midseason of 1920 reports began to come East of the improved work of Reese, who played second base for the Oakland team of the Pacific Coast Teague. He belonged to the Yankees, not take him for the season of 1929. When the original deal was made with Oakland the Yankees purchased Lyn Lary and Reese for future delivery, per- mitting them to remain at Oakland for to New York and let Reese remain in California. ¢ Some Favored Reese. Lary was tried at shortstop and third .~ He had shortcomings for major playing, but he was better at the end of the season of 1929 than he was when he joined the Yankees in Florida in March. When the Yankees purchased Lary and Reese it was predicted in California that Lary would prove to be the better bargain. ~ One or two observant chaps out that way did not agree with that opinion in full, and said Reese would come through if he got a chance. Reese fell off in 1928. That was one reason why he was left behind. This year he has played sound base ball at second base and has handled himself in every way as though his future will be as bright in major league company as some of the stars of the past. 9 Miller Huggins had made up his mind that he wanted him, and had made ar- rangements to bring him to New York before the gritty little manager died. Not only the New York club officials ‘were aware of his plans for the future but he had talked about them with Shawkey. + _ ‘The upshot of it all is that the Yan- kee infield for 1930 will start with Geh- rig at first base, Reese at second base, Koenig at short and Lazzeri at third. Withdrawing Lazzeri from second and putting him on third is shifting the most valuable second baseman cf the . American League to a new tagk. Maybe it will work and maybe not.

His arm bothered him in 1928 when he was playing second for the Yankees, but he seems to have overcome the - injury. Lazzer! can throw underhand, and that is what every third baseman needs to be highly successful. All great third basemen have been good underhand throwers, There are times when a third baseman can't delay to straighten up to throw the ball; he must pick it up and “shoot it” with one motion. No successor to Koenig played better than he did when he was going good for the Yankees, and so he is going back to his place, unless there is some shortstop to be bought at a fabulous price. The American League is not overrun with shortstops who can be traded off for five figures. ‘The Yankees figure that their present arrangement of an infield is as good as that of the Athletics, which will have Foxx at first, Bishop at second, perhaps Boley at_short and Dykes at third. ‘Whether Boley can hang on for another year remains to be ascertained next Spring. He is like Hughey Jennings, who played season after season with & weak arm. Hughey could get the ball over to first in such a hurry that he made up for the lack of strength in his arm by his speed end a short run to- :l-m the base to which he was throw- 8. PRICE COACHES QUINT AS WELL AS ELEVEN C. M. (Nibs) Price, head foot ball coach at the University of California, is not only one of the best gridiron mentors of the country, but he is a suc- cess in basket ball. In his spare time he has developed five championship basket ball teams in the last six years. Price is one of the few successful foot ball coaches who was not a college player. Bob Zuppke of Illinois is an- other. Price played prep school foot ball, but when he attended the univer- sity mfll‘:y was the game. Yet three years as head coach he has come from the bottom to the top. | His team won or tied all of its confer- ence games last Fall and shared the title with Southern California.

Every member of the Petworth Pen- nant team, which plays the National Press Cardinals tomorrow, is a former G _STAR, WASHINGTO. OW often has the first effort of some bright athletic star gone almost unnoticed, be- cause, at that time, the “fu- ture great” wasn't great at all, and so no one paid much atten- tion to what he was doing in his first important effort? Do you suppose the fans who hap- ned to see the ball game between troit and New York at Detroit on August 30, 1905, were unduly ex- cited over a rookie named Cobb, then playing his first game in the major leagues? I'll bet that no one there high school or college gridder. dreamed that when the 19-year-old AJ. 'O. S. ALBRIGHT 'doesn't take kindly to being beaten on the golf course and believes in the old adage, “a tooth for a tooth.” So when he was trounced by Dr. Willlam B. Mason two weeks ago in the final round of the President’s Cup tournament at the Chevy Chase Ciub, he looked ahead to the playing of the Liberty Cup event with the possibility that he might meet Mason in that tourney and avenge the ‘medico’s victory over him. 2 Strangely enough, they were pdired in opposite halves of the draw again, and, even more strangely, they met in the final. And this time victory went to the Army man, and by no small margin. Dr. Mason was obliged to con- cede Maj. Albright seven strokes, and the major quickly put them to good use. So well and so determinedly did he play that he reversed the verdict of the previous match, winning the final of the Liberty Cup tourney yesterday by 5 and 3. Senlor golfers at Chevy Chase are nearing_the end of their last tourna- ment of the season. They have com- pleted the fourth round in the Hal- loween Cup event and now are ready for the final. Results in the fourth round follow: Dr. W. B. Mason defeated Hugh M. Southgate,” 6 and 5; Gen. Charles G. Treat defeated Gen. D. C. Shanks, 7 and 5; Admiral R. H. Jack- son defeated Col. Joseph Wheeler, 5 and 4; Col. C. B. Drake defeated E. O. ‘Wagenhorst, 3 and 1. Mrs. John N. Hodges, wife of C-1. J. N. Hodges of the Army, today wc the women's championship golf crov.. of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, won by her only after the most stub- born kind of fight yesterday at Column- bia in one of the finest and certainly the most spectacular golf matches ever staged about Washington. The margin between Mrs. Hodges, who succeeded to the throne vacated by Virginia Holz- derber last Wednesday, and Mrs. Hugh T. Nicholson, the runner-up, was onc of inches, for Mrs. Hodges holed her mashie chip shot from a bunker at the nineteenth hole for a winning 4, and Mrs. Nicholson's putt for the half missed the cup by a margin no wider than a gnat's whisker, Never before in the long history of golf about the Capital has such a rugged struggle against overwhelming odds been staged as that put up by Mrs. Nicholson yesterday. Facing the almost impossible handicap of being 6 down with 7 to play, she fought back pluckily and, playing the last seven holes of the Columbia course in four strokes better than women's par, she finally squared the match on the eighteenth green and went on to the nineteenth, where Mrs. Hodges holed the chip shot that meant | victory. | Meanwhile, Mrs. Hodges, fighting to | hold a slipping game and watching hole after hole of her long lead slip away from her, fought back gamely but un- | successfully against the tide of victory | that secmed to be swinging toward {Mrs. Nicolson from the moment she sank a 10-footer for a birdie 4 on the ‘That the new champion holed the chip shot that brought her |the crown on the nineteenth hole was a fitting climax to the most spectacular match ever seen about the Capital. And that the couragecus uphill fight of Mrs. Nico'son was ended by such an unusual circumstance as holing a chip shot frcm a bunker meant as much credit to her as to the victor. Mrs. Hodges Confident. Playing all her shots with unbounded confidence, Mrs. Hodges piled ug 3 four-hale lead over the first nine, which she played in 42 strokes, notwithstand- ing the high wind which swept the course. Mrs. Nicolson was putting |poorly and had no fewer than four i:\-puu greens on the first nine. Mrs, | Hodges sank a curling putt for a § to win the tenth and another lengthy |one to win the eleventh, and stood 6 lup with 7 to go. At this point Mrs. | Nicolson looked like a thoroughly beaten golier. | She was hitting her_shots badly and putting very poorly. But suddenly she became a fighting golf machine, striking back with all the skill of a Bobby Jones and whittling away at Mrs, Hodges' long lead until it became & question whether Mrs, Hodges could survive STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE son won the twelfth with a birdie 4, the thirteenth with a 4, the fourteenth with at 5, and the fifteenth with a magnificent second shot that brought her a 4. The gallery, on tip-toes from the spectacular comeback, asked itself the question: “Can she win the next and the next?” And she won the sixteenth when Mrs. Ho s put_her tee shot in a trap at the left and put her second shot over the green. It seemed to be all over at the seventeenth, for here Mrs. Nicol- son, 1 down with 2 to play, put her second shot far short of the green, while Mrs. Hodges on the like was within 10 feet of the cup. Mrs. Nicol- son had to hole a 12-footer to halve, and she did it. She needed a 20-footer for a 4 on the eighteenth to square the match and she holed it. And so they ‘went to the nineteenth. Mrs. Hodges’ second shot was just at the left of the green, while Mrs. Nicol- son, on the like, was in a sand trap. She played out 25 feet from th: pin, and Mrs, Hodges half topped her third and sent it careening across the green into a bunker. After that long lcad, and her plucky golf over the first 11 holes, it seemed she was to lose the match. But she dug her spiked shots down into the sand and sighting the line carefully played her shot. The ball never hesitated. It ran on a straight line and with perfect judgment of dis- tance, hit the back of the cup and dropped from sight, Mrs. Nicolson, apparently not a bit disturbed by this turn of events, lined up her putt and carefully took her stance. Her bid for the half was bold and only an inch cff the line. It broke at the cup and as it passed the cup she ran over to Mrs. Hodges to congratulate the new champion. Mrs. Hodges is a worthy title holder, and a fighting champion. ‘The thoughts that passed through her mind as she saw a six-hole lead slip away must have been enough to de- moralize a more sturdy fighter, but she fought back with all the skill at her command and was finally rewarded. Mrs. Nicolson had the best medal score —an !flss—whue the score of Mrs. Hodges was 88, Mrs. Colladay Wins. Mrs. Stephen F. Colladay won the first flight consolation, defeating Mrs. Hume Wrong on the eighteenth green, 1 up. The second flight was won by Mrs. Frank R. Keefer, who defeated Mrs. Walter D. Bahn of Baltimore, 2 up. The consolation went to Mrs. H. King Cornwell of Columbia, who beat Mrs. J. A. Marr of Columbia, by 5 and 4. Mrs. B. C. Hartig of Manor won the third flight, defeating Mrs. Jefome Me{er of Town and Country, 3 and 2; while the consolation went to Mrs. Fred Holtzman of Chevy Chase, who beat Mrs. H. B. Hird of Manor, 3 and 1. The_fourth flight was won by Mrs, T. M. Beavers of Beaver Dam, who de- feated Mrs. J. T. Powell of Manor, 2 and 1. Without any question, the tourna- ment was the best ever held for the women golfers of the mid-Atlantic sec- tion. Mrs. Hodges won three consecu- tive 19-hole matches to win the title, beating Mrs. E. B. Morrow and Miss Effie Bowes of Baltimore in the second and third round and Mrs. Nicolson in the final on the extra hole, She should like that nineteenth hole at Columbia. Sorrel-topped Gene Larkin of Chev; Chase now holds two professional goif titles. Two weeks ago Gene won the Maryland State open, and yesterday he annexed the assistant’s title at the Con- ssional Country, registering scores of 2—177—159, to lead Sldn!z . Moore of Congressional by 3 strokes. Moore had 80—82—162. Archie Clark of Con- ‘ressseml finished in third place with 3—83—166. Moore led the field by 2 strokes after the first round, but ran into trouble on the fifth hole of the second round, where he piled up 7 shots. Larkin, meanwhile, was out in 39, and played steadily, coming home for a 38 against Moore’s 41 to win the title. COCHRAN CUTS CUE LEAD.

There should be no quarrel at the manner in which the thing was done. .There may easily be a difference of opinion regarding the conclusions The evidence presented by the Carnegie Foundation is. honest evidence and as accurate as it was possible to make it. Conditions at some colleges have changed since the survey was begun. If it does nothing “else, this investigation will make educators and alumni stop to think a bit. It seems to me that the first thing to be determined in the case of any athlete is whether he is an honest stu- dent, honestly in search of an educa- tion. I don't mean that he must have any burning desire to stand first in his class, but he must desire something beyond a foot ball suit. It his only desire is to play foot ball, a college is the wrong place for him. He should join an athletic club. The second thing to be determined is whether a college should make any concessions to a good foot ball man, not in a financial way, but in the class- rooms. If he isn't a good enough stu- dent to obtain passing marks, he doesn’t belong in a college, whether he is an athlete or not. I do not believe that the average professor gives an athlete any the best of it. 1f another man takes his examinations for him, or docs his college work for him, it must be a stupid facuity that doesn't find .it out. I do not belicve that any ignor- man can stay in college without the connivance of “the college au- thorities. Legitimate Ald Approved, But, if & boy is both a good scholar and'a good athlete, I see small reason | why’ he should not obtain a scholar- ship or be aided to an education in any legitimate way. I know a man who_is a fine salesman, but his sales- manship qualities are not diminished by the fact that he is a pretty fair n-u‘xislclan and plays a good game of olf. Most colleges might prefer a boy who is a student and an lathlete to one who is' just .a student. But it certainly doesn’t help a college man to be made a parasite. Fake jobs, monetary gflh, teaching him that the college he should be taught to rugect is willing to cheat certainly can do & boy no good. He can only play vars lfiy foot ball for three years. t.is a small part of the average life. Nobody is going to pay him when he has been graduated, unless he turns professional. Cxlleges eertainly should not be train- ing: camps for professional athletics, nor shculd they teach that it is all right to dez! from the bottom of the deck, if no- body 1s looking. Nor should they make sturdy, strong young men into dead- begts. But those' things are not the fault of the game. Foot ball can be maie one of the finest influences in col- leg~: life.

REFEREE PUT ON PAN BY WALKER’S PILOT By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 26—Jack Kearns, manager of Mickey Walker, has served notice that he is not exactly satisfied with the referee situation as it now stands for the middleweight championship fight at Wrigley Field ‘Tuesday night. Lieut. Jack Kennedy of the United States Navy, who has been chosen as arbitrator, has gained popularity among the fight fans here. Oneé of his habits, which has aided in his popularity, is a system of pointing out the winner of each round. This worked out well when Ace Hud- kins, Walker's challenger, won a tech- nical knockout over Joe Anderson re- cently. In that fight Anderson got the nod only in the second session.

ROMANO. EW YORK, October 26.—Young Stribling, now sojourning in Europe, received the first set- back of his trip—not in the ring, however—when his match with Primo Carnera was called off by Promoter Jeff Dickson. The Italian iant, who sports a pair of canal boats for feet—Carnera wears a 22! shoe— i8 just as well off. William is a pun- ishing hitter to the body, and what he would have done to the large expanse in front of him would have been & shame and possibly ruined the plans of local managers who have Carnera under contract to make a trip to this country. Lured by Airplanes. Stribling’s trip to Europe was in the nature of a holiday: He expected to try out some foreign ‘planes and bring one or two back with him, as Strib gets & kick out of flying and often flies to the scene of his fistic engagements. Stribling, a fighter in his heart, is not averse to mixing up a little busi- ness with pleasure, and one suspects that he made the trip to the other side to steal a march on the first-flight heavies in this country. N Max Schmeling is at home in Berlin and making quite a bit of money in the music halls giving exhibitions. The idea that a native German has created such a furore in boxing circies has kflgpefl the imagination of Germany, and they are turning out in droves to see the idol of the nation in action. Signs Set-Up for Max. Stribling’s_trip to Europe was to stir up some talk in fistic circles, with a virw toward securing him a match with Scameling. But this plan seems to be doomed to failure. Joe Jacobs, shrewd ‘handler of Schmeling, will not have any part of Stribling, and leaves this morn- ing.for Germany. And what do you think Mr. Jacobs did before leaving? Did nothing else but sign a sure win for his charge by booking him to fight jedman 10 rounds or less, with e‘mli{nlau on the last, in the German capital rib's plans are disrupted. There is no possible chance-of Jacobs con- senting to a match with Schmeling. CHRISTNER TO BATTLE MALONEY IN BEANTOWN BOSTON, October 26 (A)—K.

NEW GRASS MAY GIVE LINKSMAN’S PARADISE By the Assocfated Press. e A golfer’s paradise, of good lies, long roll and perfect putts, may be realized when experiments of Penn State Col- lege agronomists -with turf grasses are completed and put into effect. Golfers will pound the rubber ball over scientific turf and putt on scien- tifically nurtured and selected- greens. Nine plots have been seeded to intro- duce strains of bent grasses for use on d | golf greens and three plots have been planted in stolons, tender shoots of bent grasses. ‘Ten plots of grasses have been planted with varied strains to find a good type for fairway use. In a breeding and se- lection project 2,340 individual plants of 13 different species of turf grasses {llnn been planted in rows for observa- jon, The divot-digging dub will be com- bated by the selection of a very re- sistant . _Another aim is to find a grass that will give more yards per stroke on the fairway, measurements being made of the distance balls will travel on the various kinds. A method for field hybridizing of small-seeded turf grasses is also sought. The chief objective of this experiment is to secure high seed production and excellent turf qualities, —_— SECOND WITH 102 WINS.
