G0LFING HINTS.
BY .STRAIGHT DRIVE

SHORTER SWINGS.-An old
Scotch player once told me that
as cold weather approached and
he had to put on more clothing
to keep warm he got better re-
suits by shortening his swing
and seeking less distance than in
the summer. when conditions
were more favorable.
Those who find themselves sadly
off form by reason of the confin-
ing effects of a few extra layers
of clothing will do well to heed
the advice of my friend. He will
find himself turning in scores
only a stroke or two behind his
best performance.
It is perfectly rational to sup
pose that in seeking to kill the
ball when restrained by extra
clothing we produce the same eff
feet as if we were pressing on
every stroke. The more we find
ourselves getting shorter balls
than usual the more we press and
bring added disaster.

able, and yet he may be dealing in
facts.
For a time, at least the acquisition
of major league stars to the Fed ranks
will prove an attraction, but this will
not offset the heavy additional ex-
penses with which the Feds have bur-
dened themselves. Their expenses next
season will be far greater than they
were last. even If they cut down their
roster to twenty players. Travelling
expenses. too, are going to be heavier
because of the raise in passenger rates,
while their salary lists are sure to be
the highest since the league started.
There are any number of good ball
players who were once turned down by
a major league manager. Will Doak,
without whom the Cardinals would not
have been in the running last season,
was a member of the Cincinnati Reds
for a few days. but was canned by
Hank O'Day. Now that Hank is tenn
porarily out of the managerial game,
and he says that he dropped Doak be-
cause he didn't seem to have either
strength or any high-class pitching
ability.
Other clubs nave kept twirlers on the
chance of their developing. Had Doak
been kept through 1912 and then turned
over to John King for instructions in
1913 he probably would have proved a
prize. 1t pays to be patient with young
ball players who show ability but lack
finish. They will come if given chance.
Doak is now one of the best pitchers in
the old league. 1t was Miller Higgins
who displayed patience with the young
ster and waited for him to develop
The New York club contends that Ray
Caldwell is its property and that the
Feds are bluffing when they claim to
have signed him to three-year contract.
Caldwell is great pitcher, and if some
one gets charge of him who will be
more capable in managing him than was
Frank Chance he will be of more value
to a team than any other pitcher in the
American League. None compares with
Caldwell now that johnson has jumped,
and if he is retained in the American
League he is sure to prove this.

The Palace and Brunswicks were VIC

The Brunswicks took two out of three
from the Potomacs and Palace got a
clean sweep in it's match with the Co

a set of 34S. His counts were los, 12S

best on that club with scores of lis,
104 and los.

in the Arguers' League. His scores
were 143, SO and 1872, the three netting
him a total of 364. Mccormick of the

John Meany of the Y. NJ. C. A. team
in the match against the Imperials in
the Arcade League rolled the highest
set registered last night in the duck
pin organization. Meany started out in
his first two games as If he were going
to break the record for the District,
but a failure to maintain the standard
of his first two games in has third
proved the effort fruitless as far as
the creation of new mark was con-
cerned. Meany knocked down 141 pins
in his first game, IA in his second,
and would only have had to get a count
of 119 to equal the record or one of
120 to break it. However, Meany got
only 9S. which was sufficient to give
him the high set of the evening-37S.
The Y. NJ. c. a. quint took all three
of its games from the Imperials. a
good margin being gotten in each con-
test, and it rolled set of 1852 in SO
