CMI i il A IMT Prat THE SEATTLE STAR Cutshaw, Brazill and Eldred Star in First Tilt? Behind the Home Plate BY LEO H. LAS‘ CANTA MARIA, Cal,, March 6.—With workouts sched- uled for twice a day the first session at 9 ing and the second at 1:30 in| the afternoon, “Red” Killefer has his Seattle Indians down to the hard grind of spring|' training. Training conditions here}im are better than the Seattle tossers have had in years. A} good-sized ball park, with a fine infield and excellent ac- commodations and with good weather prevailing should put the tribe in good condition by the time the season starts. Last year the training of| the club was so retarded by |" bad weather that it was two} weeks before the boys were in| shape and they 4 really get st. ead until the th week of the season. Two Holdouts Two serious hold threat feels confident t and Earl Baldw soon Billy Lane and Beals drifted into camp yesterday | today or tomor-| ane and Babe Her-| cases are . but Killefer { Brady man are also due within a day ¢ two. Baldwin has 5 as hi as Herman, but Crane is out of th fold yet. altho he says he will sign| upon his arrival bh The slowly, nor loose as yet. Jim Yeargin, the big right hander obtained from the Bos ton Braves, may be some t n getting in condi serious attack of the flu upon arrival here and hard. It will take some time yet be fore he is ready to get down to hard| work. The other new pitch John Miljus and Stryker, are both big fel-/ lows and they say that they look im-| pressive, the writer not having seen them in a workout as yet. Miljus,/ according to the regulars, resemt bies | Elmer Jacobs a gre dea} in his | actions on the mound while Stryker, Who is no kid but an experienced ball player, has good action. Elhott Causes Talk ‘The talk of the camp Is “Ace” El Nott, the new first xacker. The other members on the team say that he will be the flashiest first sacker in the fleld in the league this year and they expect him to hit well enough to be one of the best all around men at that position In the circuit. A lot will depend upon how Elliott looks at the plate. He is a southpaw hitter. Kitlefer will send the athletes into | their first practice games of the sen. som here Sunday. One of the teams will meet the Santa Maria town team here Sunday and the second squad) will jump down to Santa Barbara to play a practice session. Nurmi to Meet All Comers in Meet March 17 i. fae YORK, March 4.— Paavo Nurmi, who has been rapped re- eently for avoiding competition against Willie Ritola and Jole Ray, his leading rivals, will open the throttle and meet all comers in a big meet in Madison Square Garden March 17. The Finnish-American Athletic club, which was to have shown Nur- mi in a real effort in his final appear- ance of the indoor season, has turned over to the Knights of Columbus the agreement of the Finn star to start against anyone who ts to test him in two races. Nurmi wants to run 5,000 meters against Ritola, which {s said to be Ritola’s pet distance, and he also wants to run a mile against Jole Ray, Lioyd Hahn and Leo Larrivee Hahn, it will be recalled, recently broke Nurmi’s indoor record for the mile. The Finnish-American Athletic club staged a meet earlier in the sea- son, when Nurmi made his debut, and the officials of the club had planned to put on andher meet in the nature of a farewell for the sea- son. So much criticism was heard, how- ever, that it was decided to turn over the date reserved in Madison Square Garden to the Knights of Columbus. EMIL F.

What’s Wrong With Sarazen? BY BILLY EVANS HAT’S tho matter with Gene| Sarazen? | When the former caddy won the United States open at Skokie in 19 he treated golfdom to one of greatest upsts. Many of the ex-| perts regarded the happening in the | fight, but aped the >xer ot A little later, Sarazen gave the tie} to such a belief when he won Professional Golfers” association at Oakmont, a feat without parall in American golf. It was then freely predicted t Sarazen would comtinue to be a| prominent figure in the golfing | world for years to come, He had| the game, youth armed the will to win. | Sarazen followed theso two vic-| tories with a defeat of the great | Walter Hagen, British open cham pion, in a 7i-hole match for the official world title. Regarded first as one of the mistakes that oceasionally hap- pen in golf charnpionships, in Jess than a year he had the ex- perts referring to him as the wonder golfer, Success Spoils For years Walter Hagen has been regarded the last word in the golf game. Here was @ young man, a golf upstart, beating Hagen after coming from behind. However, Walter Hagen is still the outstanding figure in golf, while Sarazen is now just the run-of-the- mine. In less than a year Gene lost most of his quickly won prestige. Why the sudden slump upon the part of a champion? In all probability it was too much success in 40 short a time, When Sarazen was a consiatent winner on the links he was Ienown as a plod der. He was at his game from morning until nigtt. It is doubtful 4£ ever a player, through the medium of constant practice, tried as hard as Sarazen to keep at the top of his game, Then after repeated successes there came | a lull in the practice periods With the lull there came a decided falling off in Sarazen’s play. for twa) years Sarazen, touted as the wonder golfer, has been just an ordinary | player except In spots, Incidentally when his game slumped, Sarazen started to ex- periment, a mistake stars in sport always make, with the re- sult that he has been flounder- ing about, getting nowhere. Must Practice Recently in discussing Sarazen's case with a prominent golfer, he made the following comment: “Sarazen's style im many ways is rather unorthodox. He reached the top because he had ability, competi tive courage and the willingness to keep everlastingly on the job. “Sarazen, beause of his rather unorthodox style, must keep at his game constantly to be at top form. The moment be changed his system his game got away from him. “There \@only one way I figure he can get It back, tart all over again and dally indulge in those long practice sessions which were once a patt of hie routine,” Tt is the unuswal for 4 cham. pion to be struggling wlth his game, But reports from the south are to the effect that DEMPSEY WILL Bi ALLOWED TO NAME OPPONENT BY AHERN).
