Bobby GHks Tells
What's the Matter
With The Chicks

Bobby Gilks, the veteran scout Of
the New York Yankees, who has
forgotten more baseball than many
people ever knew, told me Friday
afternoon what was wrong with the
Chicks.
Bob says the chief fault he has to
find with the club Is that there are
two good men on the infleld who
should be In the outfleld, as they
are not infieIders and never will be,
while they would 90 fine In the out
field on account Of their good hit
ting and their speed.
"Grlffln, the first baseman, and
christenbury, the shortstop, should
both be In the outfIeld," says Bob.
"Thny're good ball players, but they
are In the wrong positions, and II
they were shifted II would help the
club, In my opinion. Neither of
them are infielders, as | Q II, and
II would help them as we'll as the
team to alive them Jobs In the out
field. The club Is a fair outfit
aside from these two faults, which,
when corrected, will prove Of ma
terlal help to the team"
This Is the opinion Of an outsider
who merely gave Il when asked.

THREE VETS AND
KID SEEK TITLE
Condor, Weaver, Wenzler and
Dobbins Start Play in Semi
finals Sunday.

Three veterans and a youngster start
play Sunday in the semi-finals of the
city championship owe the Country club
links. The palrings bring together M.
j. Condor VS., d. S, Weaver and Henry
j. WenZler, Jr., VS.. NJ. F. Dobbins.
The quartet entered the semi-final
round by eliminating William Ball, Bert
Bates, ]. E. Harwood and j. A. Gard
ner.
Condor ousted Ball 4-3; Weaver trim
med Bates by the same score; Wenzler
ran away from Harwood ST and Dob
bins jolted Gardner 7-6.
Gallery gods, awake to the situa-
ton, expect Condor and Wenzler to
win their matches and meet for the
second time in the same season In the
final round of title play.
WenZler and Condor got as far as the
final round Of the Tri-State tournament
affair earlier In the year when age as
serted itself and the kid was rolled
off into the ditch.
Wenzler is only II and Condor is 81
SO the disparity in ages is something tt
record, If both win their matches Sun
day the final round will attract one oil
the greatest crowds that has even fol-
lowed a contest in Memphis.
Weaver and Dobbins have something
to say about the matter, however, ant
only the ~steadiest sort of golf will stoI
them. Both have age and experience
behind them plus a s~teadiness gained
in previous competition so that an,
slight break on the part Of either Con
don or WenZler will prove disastrous.
