BY JOHN B. KELLER. HATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 26.—If Goose Gos- lin wants to play ball with the Washington club, it is up to him. The club feels it has made every effort to get the balk- ing outfielder to talk business, and that the next move must be made by him. President Clark Griffith| believes the Washington club has! been absolutely fair in its previous dealings with the Goose, and de- clares it has no intention of deal- ing harshly with the player in the | present salary controversy. But | Griffith holds that now it is time for Goslin to make his bid or pass.

It is a sincere effort to let | base ball fans of Washington know the club side of the controversy. Unfortunately, no one with the club in training here has been able to learn from Goslin directly how he stands in the affair. 'There was little action yesterday at Engel Stadium, the training ground of the Nationals. A chilling gale, accom- panied by rain, swept across Chatta- nooga the greater part of the day and only the pitchers went through brief workouts. ~ TWo more sore arms were reported to Trainer Mike Martin, but they do not belong to the hurling corps. Jack Hayes, utility infielder, has a tender spot in his right shoulder and Sammy West has a swelling in his left arm, with which he does his heaving from thes outfield. It is believed West hurt the wing during batting drill Mon- day. However, Martin does not consider any of the arm troubles serious and looks for the three ailing ones to be in good form again in two or three days. By the Associated Press. Yesterdays Results.

MB' Leagl;;n Planning l"{ee Admission to Kids CHICAGO, March 26 () —Good ball hungry “kids.” As a part of an organized cam- paign to reawaken interest in base ball among boys, all major league clubs may permit them to see four or more games each week free dur- ing the 1930 season. - Chicago's major league clubs, the Cubs and White Sox, ly have agreed to have four “kids’ days” & week and may increase the bargain to every day except Sundays and holidays. With other club owners and Com- missioner Kenesaw M. Landis behind the movement, other clubs, major lng minor, are expected to follow suit. more putts than he has holed in some time. An instance of how well he is put- ting, word comes from Woodmont Club that Diffenbaugh played the last four holes on that course in 4, 3, 3, 3, two days ago, which is nothing less than three birdies and a par. He was playing with A. B. Thorn, the Woodmont pro, and from a tem- porary tee at the long sixth he knocked down a putt to get a birdie 4. He laid his approach shot within eight feet of the hole at the seventh and holed the putt from his second birdie, then secured a par 3 on the short eighth and ran down andther putt for his birdie 3 on the ninth for a score of 32 for the nine, which is 3 better than par. A match which has aroused more | than ordinary interest among the “reg- ulars” at Columbia was to be played this afternoon Bruce Livie and W. | Cariton Evans were scheduled to oppose | Albert R. MacKenzie, former Middle Atlantic champion, and Greenleaf H. Chasmar, former chairman of the Co- | lumbia greens committee, and a golfer who does not play in tournaments. Fred Finley, course architect, who laid out the james River course of the Country Club of Virginia, where the Middle Atlantic Golf Association cham- plonship is to be held in June, has been engaged to design the 18-hole course of the National Women's Golf and Club. The work is to begin shortly, it is understood. sand in its traps this year. Greens- keeper Dick Watson has ordered enough yellow sand to completely refill the traps.

Wwild Bill Mehlhorn came to the seventeenth hole at La Gorce a_stroke back of Horton Smith with only two holes left. And there was a matter of $5,000 dangling over the eighteenth green for the winner. This hole is close to 500 yards in length and what is more the green waits upon an upland, & decided plateau, guarded by a deep cross bunker in front and traps lurk to left and right. The hole is a par 5 and Wild Bill had to pick up two strokes in two holes to win. He decided to compromise by pick- ing two strokes on one hole, just &s Horton Smith did against Bobby Jones at Savannah when they hit the stretch. Any one who can put a brassie shot close to the pin on this hole deserves to head the pay-off. And Mehlhorn's brassie came to rest just eight feet from the cup. But you will also observe that when Young Horton Smith doesn't win he isn't far away. He still is the solitary figure in professional ranks they all have to watch and when Smith and Bobby Jones tangle up again at Augusta the first of next week it should be some- thing of a golfing epic. In fact, Ty Cobb phones that the Empire State of Georgia is already full of high tension over the coming carni- val. And Missouri is ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice. The Captain at Holy Cross. Capt. John J. McEwan, who traveled from West Point to Oregon as a foot ball instructor, has crossed the conti- nent again and is now directing the foot ball destinies of Holy Cross, where on a genenl average there is a lot of good oot ball. If there are any foot ball systems, Capt. McEwan has missed, no one can'| think of them in a hurry.

Open Tennis Championship. ‘The International Tennis Federation has blocked the idea of an oren tourna- ment for the present, but it is only a matter of time before the amateurs and pros will be mingling now and then as they do in golf. The open golf cham- plonship of the United States is now that sport. It has been one of the oldest fixtures of the game, and always one of the most ex- citing. ‘When it comes to tennis it will work out in the same way. The matter of increased gate receipts is not impor- tant. But the matter of increasing general interest in tennis and building up the pros for the purpose of instruc- tion is something to figure on. ‘The French are none too keen for an open meeting, because the Prench Tennis Association has done well enough with the amateurs in the way of gate re- ceipts from Paris to the southern front. ‘The tennis pro has had too tough a time for many to follow this trade, but | ; more good ones are needed to teach fundamentals which so many of our young amateurs now lack. Today’s Golf Round-Up. READER wants to know just ex- actly what is meant by the “rhythm of a golf swing.” Alex. Mor- rison has described the golf swing “as one smooth, flowing motion, uninter- rupted on either the mental or the physical side.” A “smooth, flowing mo- tion” can hardly start with a sudden Jjerk. It can hardly continue on to the ball when it is interrupted by a wild desire to hit from the.top of the swing. Stewart Maiden, Bobby Jones’ first and only instructor; Ernest Jones and other fine instructors have shown that rhythm must first start from correct balance. Balance largely means a cor- rect transfer of weight, from left foot to right foot and then back to left foot again as the swing starts, continues and finishes up. In other words, body weight must blend with the action of the hands, arms and clubhead. It can't work against this action and produce any re- sults that are not entirely morbid. Once the swing starts there should be no mental interruption. The mental picture must come in advance. Neither balance nor rhythm can start from tense, tied-up hands, arms and body. No smooth swing can get under way from a mass of knots. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Allinnce.)

KANSAS CITY, March 26.—Primo Carnera, 270-pound Italian carpenter, tonight will attempt to increase steadily growing string of knockout vic- tories at the expense of George Trafton, Notre Dame and professional foot ball star, who previously donned the ded gloves to defeat Art Shires, Chicago White Sox first baseman. Although fans are frankly skeptical of Trafton's chances against the for- eign man mountain, the former foot ball layer today expressed confidence that e will stay the limit. “My plans are simple,” Trafton said. “With the bell I'm after that big hunk of cheese, and then let him look out.” Carnera’s opponent will be engaging in his Aifth professional fight. - Carnera, whose managers have built up considerable of a reputation for their protege by matching him against second and third rate boxers, has trained sistently for the match.

Schiff, who attracted world-wide attention twice during his career, died in a hospital yesterday from an infection which followed a blow de- livered to his jaw by an incensed ht fan. Little is known of the referee's private life. None of his Los An- geles associates know his age, birth- place or early history. In 1912 Schiff’s popularity reached its height when he made a boxing tour of the world. During the World ‘War he was decorated personally by the King of Italy and by repre- sentatives of three other govern- ments for bravery shown while driv- ing an ambulance in the front line. The last and anti-climatic phase of Schiff’s career was lived here, where he was called Southern Cali- fornia’s “most unpopular” fight Teferee. His real name was Porter S. New- man, jr. He took the name of Schiff when he launched his career in Australia to avoid embarrassing his father, Porter S. Newman, sr., then & bank executive in Southern Cali- fornia. The father has not been located. SHIRES NOT SURE OF CHISOX BERTH Signs, but Must Battle for Job With Clancy, Says Manager Bush.

BIG LEAGUES EVEN IN SPRING GAMES Exhibitions “Prove” American and National Loops Are of Equal Strength. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, March 26.—Inter- league conflict in Spring base ball exhibitions has “proved” that the National and Ameri- can Leagues are of exactly equal play- ing strength. Of the 39 games involving teams from each league the National has won 19, the American 19 and one, between the New York Giants and Chicago White Sox, ended in a tie. From a National League standpoint the Brooklyn Robins and Boston Braves have been most effective against clubs from the rival circuit. The Robins have won three of their four games with American League rivals, while the Braves have won 7t012. In the Ameri- can League only the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers can boast better than an even break with the National League. The White Sox have won four out of six and Detroit four of seven. The New York Yankees and Phila- delphia Athletics together have lost one more game they have won from the older circuit. The Yankees have won six of seven and the A’'s have broken even in 10 contests. In the compilation of all Spring games, regardless of the character of the opposition, the Wi gton Sena- tors head the list of clubs which have played five or more games with four victories and one defeat. All of the Senators’ triumphs hdve been scored over minor league clubs. The Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians also have perfect records, each with two wins against minor league opposition.
