NEWS AND NOTES OF INTEREST

c. X. Bergman of the Kirkside Coll

kirkside course. He has greatly i'm

months due chiefly to new style o1

The length of the Chevy Chase course
has been reduced some yards by the
repla cement Of some of the tees. On
the first hole, where good full drive
often was penalized by going across
the fairway TO a bunker and a hooked
which was out of sight, the tee has
been moved forward about fifty yards,
making all the bunkers in plain sight
from the tee and precluding anything
except a very much sliced ball from
going into the trap to the right.
The tee on No. 6 has been moved back
fifteen yards. and on account of the
land configurations the distance in
creased seems to be longer. for the
way the land slopes drive must be
over little hill to get the distance
tee.
No. s hole has been improved by the
moving forward of the tee a distance
of sixty yards and this gives the player
who does not hit a very long ball a
chance to carry the bunker from the
tee besides making both the second and
third shots easier.

No. 15-The Lob.

The lob is a high ball designed to
avoid player who has secured a net
position. lob may often be very
helpful in doubles. but | have little or
no use for il in singles! badly ex-
ecuted lob gives the opponent a splen-
did chance for a smash. while good
lob will only gain little time. A lob
bling player seldom wins. unless her op-
ponent succumbs to irritable fatigue,
Therefore ] unreserVedly say that
one should lob only when no other play
seems possible ! abhor excessive lob
bing.
A lob must be definitely placed, just
high enough to avoid the player at the
net and land at or very near the base
line. There are advocates of the very
high lob. but / can see no merit in a
high lob; the object of the play Is to
put the ball out Of reach and a height
beyond that point only gives the op-
ponent ample time to travel into the
back court for the return. Naturally
the lower the lob, the more quickly II
will reach its destination. The height
is also controlled by the fact that every
effective lob must be deep. A short
lob gives a splendid opportunity for a
killing smash and amounts to tossing
away point.
Therefore. my advice is-lob only
when you are in hole. lob deep and

JACK NESS IS PLAYING
IN CITY OF HIS BIRTH
White Sox's First Sacker One of Few
Men Who Have That
Honor.

Jack Ness. the sensational sIugeer n,
the Chicago White Sox. who established
a record of hitting safely in forty-nine
consecutive games, is one of the few
young men who are playing in their
native cities. Jack was born in the
Windy city. but went to Oakland to win
his reputation, after the Boston Red sox
had cut him adrift in 1911 He is M
to stay now. it would seem, for he is
clouting up in the charmed 800 circle
and comporting himself as big Lacquer
should.
Ness, one of last years crop of talent
that was drafted, is a Chicago boy bv
birth and an Oaklander by adoption. He
was given a chance with. the Boston
Americans in 1911. but his hitting was
defective and 1t resulted in his being
sent back to New Bedford in the New
England League. Oakland picked him
out Of that small organization in 1918
and he spent three years with that club.
Although a consistent workman. he was
never rated brilliant star. The season
of 1913 saw him swatting at 264 clip.
and he came back in 1914 at 292 rate
Made Fans Sit Up.
1t was last season that Ness really
forced himself to the front. For few
days after he started to get his daily
hits no one paid any particular atten-
uon to John. the swat gatherer Sud
denly. as out of a clear sky. some one
noted that Ness had hit so many days in
row. After that the procession of
interest First the Coasters and then
the whole country insisted upon being
advised every day what Ness had done
The Oaklander was asked to explain the
theory of successful hitting and made
answer: Il just go up to the bat and
take good cut at the ball. that's all
If 1 land I'm lucky
At all events when he had finished
Ness had hung w a performance Of
forty-nine games in a row. from May
to July. during which time he had been
1S4 times at bat. garnered SO runs and
registered 81 hits. of which IA were two
baggers, triples and home runs
That meant the big league for Ness. and
he was drafted by the Chicago Ameri-
cans. Not averse to remaining on the
Pacific coast, he was more or less per
turbed when the end of the training sea
son and the first few weeks of real base
ball came to be followed with the an
nouncement that Jack was to be sent to
the Southern Association.
Refused to Go South.
"Tll not 60 he told his boss. II
wasn't anxious to move up in the first
place, but rather than be sent to the
Southern Association I'll stick right
here in Chicago and play independent
ball
Which was what he did for few
weeks.
Then the White Sox, with many
crippled players. sent up signs of dis
tress. Jack was coaXed back into the
lineup and he has been a regular ever
since, although just now sharing the
honors and dividing the responsibility |
with Jack Fournier
He has only participated in nineteen |
games up to last accounts. but he is |
hitting 1927 pace. and that's what /
