It is not a matter of salary that causes Goslin to spurn the contract offered by the Washington ciub, rumor has it, but a per- sonal objection to the pilot of the Nationals. know declare ill feeling between t Those who should | he Goose and Walter has existed | several years, but was so intensified last season when Johnson first | assumed the management of the Washington Club that at the con- clusion of the league race Goslin decided he could be of no value to the Nationals as long as the form helm. It is denied that Goslin has put|” it up to the Washington officials| to get rid of Johnson or do with- out the services of the man ex-, pected to provide the punch again | this season. And Goslin probably | does not feel this way. He is not| the kind of athlete to consider| himself bigger than his club. But| it is said the Goose does not think he can give his best to a club managed by a man he has been at | odds with for some time. | That Johnson and Goslin have not been on good terms for some years is | no secret. However, Johnson appar- ently never let any personal differences affect his direction of the Nationals last season. Nor did it seem that Gos- | lin shirked because he did not “gee” | with Johnson outside of line of duty. | So far as base ball Was concerned, John- | son was boss and acted accordingly. The Goose ized Walter’s uthority and followed directions as well as he | could. At the end of the season, though, rumor has it that Goslin told President Clark Griffith flatly that he would not return for the 1930 campaigning if Johnson still held the managerial reins. Criffith knows nothing of such a declaration, he says. He admits, how- ever, that, while a contract and several letters have been sent from the Wash- ington club headquarters to the Goose this season, but one letter has been re- ceived from Goslin. Gosse’s Reported Stand. It is understood that in his letter to President Griffith the Goose said there would be no difficulty in reaching an agreement if none other than the player and the Washington executive figured in the affair. No other names were | mentioned in the letter, according to| Tumor. ‘Whether Goose Goslin will experience a change of heart remains to be seen. Of course, the Goose cannot be ac- counted a holdout unless he fails to put in an apnearance at practice next Monday. He has not been ordered to report at camp here until Sunday. What his status will be should he not be among those present the first of next week is not so certain. The Na- tionals this year will need all the hit- ting they can get and because the ‘Goose slipped at bat last year is no Teason to regard him as “through” as a slugger. So Griffith may give the Goose a little leeway in the matter of reporting, although he doesn't admit that he may be present. A flock of veteran pitchers got good workouts yesterday in the first batting htlld‘.%y' theAletlomLs Fred rherry, Liska, Irvin dley and Bob Burke had turns ug none steamed ’‘em of the pitching to batters, though, was done by manager Johnson, who seemed to delight in sweeping’ the ball to the club-swingers.

New Orleans and its Mardi Gras attracted some of the athletes after today's practice, but Biloxi has its own pre-Lent carnival and those who remained in the little city on Mis- sissippi Sound were apt to be well en- tertained. Festivity here started at noon and was to carry far into the night. His Graclous Majesty D'Iberville XIV landed at the yacht club shortly after mid-day and headed a big parade through the business section of Biloxi. ‘The royal vanquet this afternoon was attended by President Griffith and Manager Johnson, who were special guests of his majesty. Late in the after- noon the junior carnival is scheduled and tonight the parade of the comic maskers will be held followed by the carnival dance. ‘There will be promiscuous masking throughout the day, but no masks will | be worn by Nick Altrock and Al Schacht. These two, however, are to participate in much of the entertain- ment and also will serve as judges when rizes are distributed among those wear- g the most striking costumes.

Evans saw the Indians for the first time this season yesterday and found much, especially some of the rookie hurlers, to enthuse over. He announced that the Tribe is pre- pared to do without Wes Ferrell, chief of the moundsmen, if he continues to hold out. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 4 (P). —There i1s more than a suspicion in the camp of the Chicago White Sox that Bili Kamm, leading third base- man in point of fielding for the last two seasons, is a holdout.

When the backswing is correctly executed by the swinging golfer the shaft of his club points toward the flag at the top. Also the clubhead points down at the ground, as shown in the illustration. Now, to gain these correct positions one’s arms and wrists have to be relaxed. Ten- sion prevents that. Tension comes from a desire to kill, to drive the ball by hitting it. James Braid, another old British master, states that this position of clubhead is the telltale of your AT TOP CLUBHEAD SHOULO POINT STRAIGHT DOWN ~— FACE SHOULD | PARALLEL.

Braid never sailed for America in the early days to lend a direct influence upon our style, due to a complex about ocean travel, But had he, his influence would have merely confirmed Vardon's, Braid's idea is that when the clubhead fails to take the approxi- mate position shown in the sketch you either are not permitting the arms and_wrists to relax or your grip is at fault.
