f. Baker, president of the Philadelphia
National League Club. has entered
Eastern League baseball by buying the
Waterbury franchise. He succeeds Rob-
ert W. Emmons, I'd. of Lynn. the former
Harvard football captain and present
bank president and yachtsman. VINO is
devoting his time to a navy commission
and yesterday announced his retirement
from baseball. He owned the Lynn club
when it was transferred to Waterbury
and therefore controlled the franchise,
Baker will probably use many of his
surplus Philadelphia players on his
Waterbury team.
No talk of shutting up shop because
of General Crowder's "work-orfight
order was heard at yesterdays special
meeting, and the league talks of playing
out its shortened schedule. After the
meeting Secretary Thomas O'Brien said
that no word from Crowder had been
received and the league would play un-
less forced to quit by international
orders

to know where he could get men to re-

Albertus Demaree had not shown any
thing much to brag about on the western

cruit was Cecil Causey, who was mex
perienced.
After Benton and Barnes had left the

the Cubs like a veteran. Up to the
ninth inning he allowed only one hit and
McGraw was overjoyed. But then came
the fatal ninth. Cecil blew up like a

runs.
Causey's showing in this game gave
McGraw lot of encouragement, and he
was started against Cincinnati. When

McGraw did not lose confidence in the
youngster, and sent him against The
Dodger team. Causey let the Robins

proceeded right off the reel to battle the
enemy with splendid fast ball and a
wide-breaking curve.

GOLFER WHO HAS TOO MANY

Player Who Is Constantly Working Out Ideas and Who
Devotes Too Much Time to Mental Side of
Game Invites Trouble
By CHARLES lCHICKl EyANsl Ir.

WAS very much interested in the
L mental attitude of man with whom
| played nine holes of golf the other
day. He has the reputation of being
a deep student OF the game. and his
kind has much company wherever golf
is played
Whenever he had made a shot and
missed it, he would say that he had for
got to keep his knees stiff on the back
stroke: or else. that he had 'oroken''
his wrists at the wrong place on the
descending blow. Then he would take
practice stroke, and say: This is the
way should have done it," and with
the utmost seriousness he would take
his club up in preparation for the real
blow. and stop quarter. a half, or so,

agree with you absolutely and at once
sSt about trying it out. About that
time he would probably discover that
his feet We're out of position. and in
the next breath he would tell you about
new idea he had got from some gorf
magazine. Then he discussed and tried
out the follow through until you began
to wonder whether your own game even
approached what it should be. He wanted
to see the position of your hands at a
certain stage of the stroke and was
quite as ready to dissect your game
as his own. Perhaps | should not say
dissect for it was vivsection that he
was practicing.
The worst of the whole thing was
that he was playing BADLY because lie

great to fall back upon consciously at
trying times when the second nature on
which you counted fails. but it is my
theory that these rules must be prac-
ticed until they become second nature.
When this AUTOMATIC execution fails
us, then we can recall them consciously
and probably save the day. not by play
ing the conscious stroke perfecte but
by correcting its worst fault. Nine
times out of ten these well-practiced
strokes are automatic and then you do
not have to think about them when the
other good ideas come up. a
] advised this overZealous player to
forget all those multitudinous things
with which he had burdened his mind
for awhile. and | gave him three ideas
that consider the most important in the
stroke, eliminating every idea of lesser
importance. He did so and I was de-
lighted to see that he went well.
There is great fun IN seeing what the

The Course in a Nutshell
Philmont has a good opening hole in

woods to the right and out of bounds
to bother the player. The second,
which is "A one shotter, presents no trou-

The drive over the fifth must carry the
brook and to the right is out of bounds.
Just in front of the sixth green is
a brook and just back of the green
is the boundary. The seventh is the
first of the three-shotters with cross
bunker to be carried for the second
shot and traps around raised green
for the third. The eighth is one of the
best holes on the course. with a di-
agonal bunker for the tee shot. If
the short carry is made nest of dim
pies must be carried on the second,
while the longer drives open up the hole
for the second. Then comes another
three-shotter, with an elevated green.

ing ground to the left. The twelfth is
another three-shot hole, the drive being
down hill. The thirteenth is full
iron or spoon and there is plenty OF
trouble between the tee and green The
fourteenth is the last of the three-shot-
ters and the longest hole on the course.
The fifteenth is across the road and
toward the clubhouse. The fifteenth
is the poorest hole on the course. with
a green that falls away and makes
the second shot very doubtful of results.
The seventeenth is one-shotter that
presents no particular trouble and the
eighteenth has big cross bunker and
