Speaking of Sports The new edition of the Falcon baseball team for 1929 showed™up to advantage yesterday afternoon at 8t. Mary's field in its opening game against the West Ends of Bristol. Composed mostly of local talent, the team displayed a heavy batting attack, and neat fielding. A promis- ing season is forecast for the crew. “Micky” Noonan, the old reliable, is again behind the plate. The veteran catcher displayed all his ability s of old and should prove a big help in keeping the youngsters on the team cool in the pinche: Noonan connected for a solid dou- ble in the fifta inning, showing that he still retaing his batting eye. “Lefty” Haber was a demon on the defense for the Falcons. Hesides making a aumber of beautiful catchs in center and left field, Ha- ber did good work in the box. His triple in the seventh inning with the bases loaded brought vic- tory to the locals after they were apparently beaten. As a baseball pitcher, Judge Stan- ley J. Traceski is a good judge. His drop took too much of a twist vesterday as he hurled the opening ball and it bounded over the plate. Pete Pajewski probably is able to see through the wiles of the opposi- tion’s program in the common coun- cil but he'll never be a catcher. As was predicted. a flock of golf- érs, numbering 44 in all. turned out for the first tournament at Shuttle Meadow Saturday afternoon. The fine condition of the couree resulted in some good scores. Bill Sweeney and Ted Hart, though rusty in spots, showed mw‘l mid-season form while going the rounds. Sweeney got the hest indi- vidual score of the day while Hart was on his way to a low count when a trap jumped up at him and scored a kavo wallop. Plenty should he heard from this pair as the scason progresses. Tom Crowe has taken up golf in more ways than one. Besides being an apt pupil of Chet Irwin during the winter months and picking up all of the tricks of the game, Tom start. ed of urdav by picking up an- other player's nall.

We'll miss our guess if this scason at Shuttle Meadow won't be the hest ever in the history of the club.

Don't crowd your partne Give a player room to shoot. Stand away from him and not in his line of vi- sion. A safe rule, isually recommended by professionals, is to stand 15 or 20 feet from the golfer at right apgles to the line of flight, If éne does that, it assures being out of the way —out of danger and out of sight. Many golfers are particularly fussy about this point. They seck plenty of room. Many a dubbed shot re- sults from u golfer worrying about some dub standing right back ef him. If a club should break—the head fly off, or the club slip out of the golfer's hands—it usually follows the line of flight straight toward the hole or comes on around and goex 0 the “safety back of the golfer, zone" is at right angles to the Itne of flight. Be courteous on the tee. Don't beestanding up there by the markers with tee and ball in one hand and the club in the other as if trying .[to hurry your partner.

FORTY-FOUR GOLFERS TEE OFF IN OPENING TOURNEY Shuttle Meadow Season Starts 10 Days Earlier Than Last Year—Perfect Day and Good Course Results in Fine Play—Sweeney Has Best Individual Score of Day — Higbee, Barnes, Wilson and Vibberts Foursome Captures First Prize—Event a Success. BY JIGGER Playing ten days ahead of lart year's schedule, forty-four members of the Bhuttle Meadow club entered the first golf tournament of the sea- son Saturday afternoon. It was a best-ball foursome event, with one-quarter of the aggregate handi- cap. sllowed. The day was perfect, the fair- ways were dry for the most part, and the greens had rounded into pretty good condition. All in all, the course furnished the oppertunity |for good scoring. Old Man Par beckoned in friendly fashion for the golfers to match their skill and luck against him. His nvitation was accepted by a host of golfers but they were not de- ceived by his grin. The layers had learned from experience that early- season golf is usually not near par- golf and the old fraud prebably had a few tricks up his sleeve, But they posted their the scorebeard, lined up in four- somes and opened the season's battle. Promptly at one o'clock, Earl Higbee, the new chairman of the tournament committee, started the ball rolling by swatting one from the first tee. He was quickly fol- lowed by his partner and their two opponents. From then on, for a couple of hours, the first fairway was pepper- €d with hot shots from the tee that in the pride of Val Flood’s heart and | the despair of many golfers who never do their best, when under the scrutiny of a gallery.
