Best to Overrun Putt, Says Champ “One mistake of most golf- ers, particularly beginners, is that they play safety-first meth- ods when they get on the greens,” says Gene Sarazen, national open champion, “Such methods are all right if you have only a hole or two to go, and know that by halv- ing them you can win, but on the whole it is the daring player who meets with most success on the greens. “Unless cohditions match demand carcful play never sneak up on hole, always try to sink the putt. “A golfer should always bear in mind that he has no ance to sink a putt unless his ball travels at least to the cup. That is why 1 claim it is far better to overrun the cup than fail to reach it. “It is always much better to overrun the cup two or three , feet than to be (o or three ' feet short. My advice to golf- ers is to be more daring on the greens, take more chances, and always remember that unless « you reach the cup you have no chance to sink your putt.” the 1 1 of { missed two more at infighting. | er pounded Latzo's ribs.

Ja Tampa, i'la, March 23.-—~Clark team of the American league, has a unique baseball idea that he is bring- ing to the attention of the major league clubs training in Morida. Griffith is for a spring league in I"lorida, starting I°cb. 1 and extend- ing over a period of about seven weeks, Most of the major league clubs go south late in February. Griffith’s idéa is to have all the major league re- cruits that are to be tried out to re- port on Ieb, 1, For a period of four weeks these recruits would play a series of regu- lar scheduled games, after they had properly conditioned themselves. The regulars would report about March 1 and spend about two weeks getting into shape. Then during the last two weeks of March, just prior to the teams starting their exhibi- tion tour north, the veterans would be worked into the various lineups, giving the fans of the south a chance to see the stars as well as the re- cruits. Solve Recruit Problem. The big idea of such a league, as explained by Griffith, is that it would ROBINS OUTPLAY in the countered up, but Walk- Latzo tore into Walker coming out of a cinch with lefts and rights to the face. This was Latzo's best round, but still Walker had the best of him in this session also. Walker hit Latzo with a terrific right uppercut in ti§ seventh round. Walker continued to pound his ribs with right hooks to the body and also whipped over a right smash to the Jjaw, Latzo hit Walker hard with both hands to the jaw, but it only made the champion grit his teeth and fight back harder. Walker turned Latzo around with a left hook to the Jjaw. THE SHEIK 10 HATCH HIS HITS AGAINST FERGUSON Tourna- Senators Lose 9-4—Polo Grounds Wili Be Ready for Opening—When Done Will Seat 54,500 Fans. New Orleans, March 23.—Taking advantage of the fine weather which prevailed here yesterday for the first tigie in a week, the Yankees held a three-hour drill which closed with the |first game in the long awaited series |between the Regulars and the | Rookies. Wally Pipp, emerged with a victory over the Scrubs, who were led into battle by Babe Ruth. The game went seven innings and the score was 14 to 3, | Sam Jones started in the box for the Regulars and worked for three in- [ nings. The orly run made of of Jones was scored by liuth. The Itookies' leader poled & home run over the right field wall in the first inning after two of his mates had ex- pired. in the second and another in the| | third, but no further damage resulted. | Waite Hoyt opened on the mound for | the Rookies and pitched three in- nings. Like Jones, Hoyt yielded a | run in the opening frame, when two | hits and an infield out gave the Regu-| lars a tally. In the second and third | innings, however, Hoyt, using nothing | but speed, held the Regulars under | his spell. Meriden War Vets' Boxing ment Features This As Main Bout Monday.
