HICAGO, February 10.— Three of the busiest weeks golf has known in many seascns are scheduled for Ohio fairways and greens, com- mencing June 17. On that date the Western open wi >launched over the Miami Country . Club, Dayton, and fill a three-day span. The Ryder Cup mfiu follow at Scioto, Columbus, June 26 and 27, with the hationaliopen at In- verness, Toledo, climaxing the pro- gram, July 2 to 4.

The professionals and crack amateurs can compete in the two major open championships of the country al- most at the price of one; and those not engaged in the Ryder;Cup matches can break the. interim as spectators at the international duel. Clubs Use Headwark.: The Western Golf Association made @& clever move in scheduling its cham- plonship immediately in advance of the international matches and ‘national open. In the past the Western usually has been played in A t, with some of the leading professionfilsiabsent on other affairs. This year the Western should attract & fleld equal to that of “tie-national open, provided the Britigh:Ryder Cup team and such American. nals as compete in the Bri open at Carnoustie June 1-5 are @ble.to reach the sectional battlegron & It will be Dayton’s first impertant champicnship, but if the “plans of George Kilockson and Fred Young ma- terialize the city will be known'for more than mechanical cash boxes when the last putt is canned.

'QUINN IS NOT READY TO QUIT BASE BALL Not 01d at “42,” He Declares, and Will Seek Job After Work at Hot Springs. By the Associated Press. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., February 10. —"Old Jack Quinn” isn't old, and he has no intention of quit base ball. The ex-Philadelphia twirler relieved himself of this observation as he pre- pared to foot it over the mountains to get in trim for the season. He holds no brief for the golf playing ball player. inn is now a tree agent, released by the Athletics after six seasons with them, but he says, “Forty-two doesn't make me an old man.” After a two weeks' period of condi- tioning here, Mr, Quinn intends to make the rounds of Southern training camps, with an eye out for a berth on somebody’s ball team. “Base ball as a career,” he philoso- phized, “is all right.

Now why is it that these two stars, and various other topnotchers, em- ploy a straight left in Mnme'.he club back, whereas others, as we | nmoted in yesterday's article, bend | theirs at the elbow to reach the top? The first reason is the old battle between youth and age. Youth is supple and has pliable muscles and joints. It is no bffort for it to keep the arm straight in taking the club to the top.

BASE BALL CHANGE SEEN PITCHING AID Raised Stitch Will Afford Better Grip—Effect on Batter Uncertain. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORK, Pebruary 10.—The championships of the major leagues in 1931 may literally hang by a thread. The magnates meeting here this week decided to make a change in the base ball to be used this year by the Na- tional League. The American League made a similar move. It is not such a radical change as many have as- serted. It Is purely experimental. The thread with which the ball is sewed and the manner in which the sewing is done are the two alterations that are of any importance. ‘When the “old guard” were ME‘ and grandmother confiscated all of the old stockings in the house that would pro- vide yarn to make base balls the cov- ers were put on by some local jack of all trades or maybe by the town harness maker. The cover was made of four quarters of leather. Raised Stitch at Start. Grandmother’s base ball could not be put’ together without raised stitches, as there was no machine in those days for winding base balls. There was no machine to cover them. So early base ball took its start with a raised stitch cover, By and by a man in New York began to make very good base balls. His base ball had a raised stitch cover, but he had learned how to make the cover in two pleces instead of four. Then other manufacturers thought they would make base balls. Some of them were good and others not so good. Some were filled with softer substances than others. All of them were & little shy of rubber which, in days, was not so freely in supply. Then the cork-center ball was in- best base ball they ever had. World War came along and the base ball makers were allowed to use only such materials as the Government had not commandeered. The Government took all of the good wool and the good A better machine “was_invented to make the base ball and better materials Aid Pitchers. 1931 will have the old-fashioned style only can small ridge Will there be a decrease in batting? will be if the change bat will connect as readily with the new ball if it gives pitchers better control.

OS ANGELES, February 10.— So far as their manager, Rogers Hornsby, is concern- ed, the Chicago Cubs may play golf at their Catalina Island Spring training camp—after the day’s work .is done—but the chances are strong that soccer will be their only diversion. In outlining some training rules for the team; when it reaches the island February 17, the Rajah said today he would put no restrictions on golf. “I don’t intend to baby the team along,” said Hornsby. “We are all mn1 to work work hard. While I don' think mixing golf with base bail is good for a player, it's OK. with me after the day’s workout is finished—if they care to play.” The Rajah laughed meaningly. Thinks Golf Hurts Hitters. “Golf might not hurt the pitchers, but I think it affects the hitters’ swing. When they hit a golf ball they are Strlklnill stationary object. Another thing, swing, which in the long run may cause & hitter to loft his hits also. This might result in a lot of useless pop flies.” ‘With this off his mind, Hornsby spoke more seriously of Spring training. “I think we'll try soccer foot ball this Spring. I saw some games in St. Louls and it struck me that this was the e to get the legs and wind in condition. ~ “Take the pitchers, for example. 1 | expect them to be able to do five innings without s themselves when we launch our exhibition series March 13.” Likes Hurling Staff.
