NEW YORK, oct. Elf the baseball
world doesn't watch It's step this fell
low, Charley Weeghman out in Chicago
is going to take their old game all to
pieces and reassemble It according TO
his own ideas.
Weeghman, who runs the Chicago

limit with his new idea.
Just about a year ago Weeghman
conceived the idea Of taking crack
golfer to California with him and sick
ing him onto the boys with the pur-
Ign Of showing them a golf swing in
~ sir batting. A follow-through blow,
such as is used in golflng, Weeghman
commended, could be put to good advan-
tage on a baseball club.
Weeghman handed out the idea In
seriousness and engaged Chick Evans
to make the trip to California TO teach
the Cubs something about hitting.
However, so much fun was made Of the
idea and things got so bad about the
time the Cubs beat IL for the Pacific
coast that Wceghman abandoned the
idea This year, he declares. he is go
a professional golfer as instructor for
his men. Fred Mitchell, he says, Is
agreeable TO the experiment.
Mitchell has in Chick Workman and
several other high-class flelders but
poor hltters, admirable material to turn
over to the teacher. 1t may be that
Weeghman will come back with q
school OF ball players who will begin
knocking them far and wide with such
gusto that the golf swing will become
a common term.
And. having relieved himself Of the
golnng fever, Weeghman came through
with another bunch. lie is going &c

from a sprinter's crouch. lie contends
that many runs a year are lost through

"It is only the man with low ideals

therein lies opportunity for greater per-

the man who would increase the race
