Street would sound like a fairy story if he didn’t have the record books and the evidence to prove how he has wandered up and down the base ball scale. He spent all but six of his first 30 years in base ball in the bushes, up to the time the St. Louis Cardinals gave him & job as coach in 1929 and then elevated him to the managership. He has been with 18 different clubs in 11 assorted leagues.

Bones and Eynon Tough Pair To Subdue on Links, Banegan Opines, After Taking “Lesson” BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. (0 bables, and I don't believe there is a pair around this club that can beat 'em.” D'Arcy (Redl) .Banagan, assistant pro at Columbia, was speaking of Tommy Bones and Everett Eynon, the youthful pair of Columbia stars, who were second and first in the Columbia Country Club champlonship last year and now are the leading contenders for the mythical Cummings trophy. “Any time they go out, you can bet they will shoot a Dest ball of 70 or better, and if vou think that's easy to get along with, get yourself a part- ner some time and play against a best ball of tial " Banagan looked ame, in which , the Columbia pro, essayed to give Bones and Eynon three up. Even though the pros shot a best ball of 69, which is one better than par, they were beaten by just the handicap—three holes. Bones and Eynon lulled them to sleep on the sixteenth green by a 3-and-2 margin, ending the match with a 10-foot putt from the blade of Bones' putter that found the bottom of the cup for a birdie deuce. Eight birdies were piled up in the foursome, with the best ball of the quartet being five under level 4s for the first six holes. McLeod and Ban- agan were out with a best ball of 33 and had picked up two of their thres- hole margin, but on the tenth Eynon | sank a curling 20-footer for a birdie 3 which started the youngsters off on a blazing rampage which brought them home winners by 3 and 2. “Mmer B. Voodward hold the mythical Cum- mings trophy, but it is a safe bet that if Bones and Eynon go after them; the kids will be odds-on favorites to win, even though Bones and 8. C. Watkins now have a challenge in for Stevinson and Woodward. 'y ought to split up that Bones on combination,” Banagan says.. “They're for any pair in this club,” Pred McLeod and Miller Stevinson are slated to play against Harry G, Pitt and Al Treder in a match at Manor Thursday afternoon prior to the dipner 10 be given to Harry Pitt by the club to celel amateur championship. ‘The Distriet senlor championship date has been changed from Ocu‘;ber 7 lpo Oc- tober 14 and will be played over the Burning Tree course.

Hagen cdn even correct it during the stroke when its position is wrong. All of which indicates that the grip is important.
