There is room for improvement in his

was in trouble now and then in the
him in this respect. In his final match
Bobby Jones had a good margin from
this angle. But where Bobby was chip
ping to four, five, six and eight feet
away and missing, Heron was sinking
puts of two, three and four feet longer
than Jones.
Also in each match Heron succeeded
in shooting pretty well down to par golf
for one of the eighteen-hole rounds. He
was well under eighty in his second
player had held him to a margin of one
hole in the first round. The same went
for Plat. Heron cracked out a seven
ty-three in one round against the Phila-
delphian. After ripping apart at the
seams on the second half of his morning
round with Jones, he was well on the
way to another very brilliant round in
the afternoon with thirty-five going
out. when the match was brought rather
abruptly to close.
Oakmont is an exceptionally long
course and Herrons long hitting served
him in good stead. But regardless of
the course long hitting that holds
straight down the fairways is an asset
accurate putting offsets a multitude of
sins in approaching. so that Heron
has two prime requisites of fine golfer
in his repertory. He is shy on big
tournament play, but he is just twenty
two years of age. and has lots of time
ahead of him. Withal he is a good
ratured. even-tempered young man who
appears to have far better than the
average golfng temperament.

Sunday. September Is. with the Cubs
in Porkville. while the Detroit Tigers
also play their last game of the sea-
son with the White Sox in Chicago
and the Clevelands conclude with the
Browns the same day. the national
commission may decide to begin the
world series not later than Wednes-
day, October 1. It's an overnight
rail jump between Cincinnati and
Chicago, Cleveland or Detroit, but
owing to the high railroad fares. the
commission probably will rule that
two successive games must be played
in each city. The club that wins the
toss will begin the series at home.
The commission probably will draw

GIANTS AND TIGERS AFTER

Third Baseman Hale Of the San

is a bone Of contention between the
Giants and the Detroit Tigers. Both
have filed claims to his services and
the case now is in the hands Of the
national commission. Hale is said
to be a splendid inflelder, one OF the
best ever seen in the Texas League.
He has rolled up high batting aver
age and is a fast base runner. The
Giants scouts recommended Hale to
Manager McGraw several weeks ago
and the latter promptly closed nego-
tiations for his release. The Detroit
club, however, claims to have reached
a prior agreement with the San An
tonic club. There'll be a ruling by
the commission in the near future.

He initiates the pitching specialties

Coveieskie's curve and topped off the
performance with Walter Johnson's
floater. Nick put everything he had
into one that smacked into the

Some of the fans expressed their
appreciation by cheering. others by
clapping their hands and some in a
more stable manner. Money was

The fans know Nick now as the
comedian of base ball He is not a
clown and should not be called one.
His humor is clean and spontaneous
and his retorts to the sal1ies of the
crowd are the sort that one would
expect from gentleman. There is
nothing coarse about him.
But. however well known he is to-
day, he was just as famous in the
season of 1906. Then he took his turn
