The Punch of RHYTHM.

More than one sportivc observer has
wondered from time to time why il is
ana Just how it is that some small
slight specimen of human machinery
can Wallup golf ball further than 200
pound huSkies capable of terrific
power
The answer is simple enough. There
IS no punch in the world like the
punch of rhythm. For rhythm under
control means perfect timing, and per-
rect timing can get greater distance
than ten times the power that isn't
timed.
Young Norman Maxwell doesn't
weigh over l15 pounds. He is slightly
built Yet through perfect timing he
can outdriVe nine tenths of the good
golfers weighing from 40 to IS pounds
more.
llmlng means an absolute lack of
waste. Whereas in the ordinary swing
there is always at least so per cent
waste through broken rhythm.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-04-02
In Baseball.

In golf there are many long drivers
who are small. Maxwell is a leading
example. Jerry Travers doesn't weigh
100 pounds. yet no one can hit Il driv
ing iron any further. Phil Carter gets
line distance, and Freddie Mcleod
could drive with the best. Jack Ho
hens is far from being big man, vet
Jack can drive with any golfer in the
country.
But in baseball most of the slashinc
hitters, the long distance men, are big.
Either heavily built or rangy and
WillowE. Crawford, Pipp and Baker
are all big men, and they are probably
the three hardest hitters in baseball
Heinie Zimmerman, Lajoie, Wagner,
CraEath are all over 100 pounds. Cobb
weighs $50 and so does Speaker. Few
of the smaller ball players are long
distance hitters, for baseball requires
more of physical effort through the
swing than golf. The bat is heavier
and strength is required to swing lust
at the proper instant after sizing IN
the speeding ball.

The Turn-About System.

number of years back the East
predominatcd in golf while the west
won most of the pennants in baseball.
OF late campaigns the west has won
no pennants in baseball, but she has
secured the field in golf. So the merry
fiip-flop moves along.
The west hasn't won n baseball ban
ner since 1910. But in 1915 she bagged
the amateur golf championship, and in
1916 she not only bagged both the am
ateur and the open. but had the two
finalists in the amateur parade.
In tennis the warfare has been fairly
even. The West won in 1913, the East
in 1914 the West in 1915 and the East
in 1916. Which is close enough for all
practical purposes.

Giants to Mexico.

Major league magnates are seriously
considering the Bahamas, Bermuda.
Cuba, Mexico, Panama and Hawaii for
future spring training trips. Among
the spring training plans for 1913 now
being considered by Manager McGraw
of the New York Giants is a PROPOSE
ton to play Il series of exhibition
games with some American learue
team in the Mexico city. The trip, of
course depends upon further develop
ments of friendly relations between
the two countries, and the hope that
Uncle sam will not become involved
IN war with any other nation. II the
.ilahts enter Mexico they viii 60 in
with the official backing and protec-
ton of the tarranza government.

believe that baseball will be the means
of diSpelling the i'll feeling caused bv

McGraw has not disclosed the idon-
tity of those who have approached him
IN this matter, but he evidently thinks
well of the idea. The present plan Is
Tor the Giants to 20 south early in
1918, practice for Il couple weeks, and
form a travelling party with one O,
the American league teams, probably
the White Sox or Tigers. An exhibition
schedule would then call for games

road to the Mexico city, where a Sc

Cuba Possibility.

In the near future some major
league team will break the ice, figura-
lively speaking, and establish training
quarters in Cuba. The spring climate
in the Pearl of the Antilles is ideal
for training purposes, and the teams
in the Cuban National league will
furnish opposition for exhibition
games, which will serve to put the
players in good condition speedily.
