BY j. ED GRILLO.

Even an inexperienced base ball man
should successfully conduct the affairs of
the National League SO long as John
Heydler is identified with the Office. For
the past fifteen or more years the leagues
affairs have been mostly handled by
Heydler. the leagues secretary, and it
has been frequently admitted that without
Heydler none of the several presidents
the league has had could have filled the
position of president for an unexpired
term, and there is no doubt that the
league erred when it did not elect him
to the office.
Heydier's long experience, together with
his capabilities, have made him invalu-
able to the league, and though this is
generally recognized by the club owners
he is never considered when the question
of electing a president is up
If Gov. Tener accepts the place. which
according to reports is to be rendered him
today. he will do SO with the knowledge
that in Heydler he will have an assistant
thoroughly familiar with every detail of
the work.
Sam Crawford is proving himself by far
the best hitter in the games being played
by the world tourists. The veteran out
fielder is doing slugging of a kind that
is attracting a lot of attention and is
making him the leading attraction in the
western cities. 1t has been several years
since Sam has enjoyed SO splendid a bat
ting streak he has indulged in on
the present trip.
Germany Schaefer is another one Of
the old-timers who is hitting exceptionally
well with the tourists. Barring two or

Scott and Fromme were the battling
hurlers and Death Valley Jim had the
edge on McGraws choice. 1t was main
ly a pitchers duel at that. but the Sox
succeeded in punching hits off Fromme
IN the fifth, when three singles and q
base on balls accounted for the brace of
taliles which the game produced. Outside
of this it was nip and tuck both pitchers
getting brilliant support despite the soggy
condition of the field.
The travellers were kept fairly busy by
the enthusiastic folks In this town. Led
by Fielder Jones, former Brooklyn and
Chicago player, every member of the

PREPS ARE VICTORIOUS.
Howard Academy Wins Exciting
Game From M Street High.

The Howard University Preps yester-
day took the NJ Street High boys in camp.
beating them by a score of 10 to 0, and
nearly duplicating the defeat administer
ed by the Preps to Armstrong, when the
Academy boys came out on the long end
of a l. to score.
Stubborn playing characterized the en-
tire game. and M Street did not give up
until the whistle blew at the end of
the game. The hard off-tackle plays and
the clever forward passing of the Acad-
emy We're too much, however, for the
high school boys. The teamwork Of
both eIevens was good, showing compe-
tent coaching. The Academy backfield
and ends starred, with Avery featuring
at halfback. NJ Street played an even
game but Randall at right tackle de-
serves first honors.
The Props scored their first touchdown
in the first quarter on a forward pass
Worde to Wimbish. J. Stratton kicked
goal In the next quarter the Props
sent Avery across NJ Streets goal line
for the second touchdown. Pannell missed
goal The Academy scored again in the
last quarter when Waverly was tackled
by Pannell for a safety behind M Streets
goal.

(OT CGRP OF CLUBPLAYSI
IMPORTANT PART

The necessity of gripping the club firm
ly at the instant when it strikes the ball
is very important point. says a writer
in Golf Illustrated. From inquiries 1 have
made among good players. it appears that
very firmly. but there are others who
contend that this is a mistake. In fact
believe Mr. c. E. Dick. the well known
Scottish international player, is strong
supporter of a comparatively loose grip
So far as ] personally am concerned
1 play extremely badly if l do not grip
very firmly, and I believe that the many
failures which / have experienced at the
game have been largely due to slightly re-
laxing the grip at the moment of hitting
the ball. 1 do not mind confessing that it
was a long time before l found out how
serious was this error.
The more important the occasion, the
more l used to loosen the club-this. /
suppose being due to nervousness. and the
results were disastrous. / must apologize
for laboring this point, but L feel sure
there must be many cases parallel TO my
own: many players who would improve
their game by strokes per round by grip
ping more firmly. Within my own expert
ence there is one club, and one only. which
must not be held too firmly, namely. the
putter. The delicate touch seems to de-
part if this is held with the same strength
as the others. The method Of gripping is
a much debated problem.
Some people assert that the overlapping
grip is the only one that is any good at all.
others declare that it is unsuitable for
persons with short fingers, while there
are quite number who believe in over
tapping with certain clubs and not with
others. I am positive in .sQy own mind

that this last theory is wrong, and
should always recommend any one TO use
the same grip for all clubs.
l am told that quite 30 per cent of
the professionals use the overlapping grip
but this surely does not prove that IL is
the correct one for the average golfer
1t should be borne in mind that two OF
the finest players who have ever lived.
Mr.. John Ball and Alex. Herd. do not
employ the overlapping grip. which clear
ly proves that IL is not an essential 10
good golf
Let me hasten TO add that 1 am in no
way prejudiced against this method OF
holding the club, but / am convinced that
there are many golfers who would play
better with just ordinary grip-the left
thumb down the shaft and the right
thumb across, with the hands just as
close together as possible. At any rate.
il is one of the many things which are
worth trying. STRAIGHT DRIVE.
