SCHOOLBOY STAR IS
THROUGH, HE SAYS
Waite Hoyt, New York Giant,
Has Announced His Retire
ment From Baseball to Enter
Mercantile Business.

New York, Feb. 15-(SpeciaD
Waite Hoyt, the schoolbay star, who
has been the. property of the Giants
for nearly four years and who was
included in the deal with the Roches-
ter club by which Earl Smith comes
to New York, announces his retire
ment from baseball. Hoyt is tired of
being sent to the minors, was not
at all pleased when he read of his
transfer to Rochester, and declared
that he would abandon baseball to ac-
cept a position in the mercantile bust
ness.
when I first joined the Giants l
made up my mind that If l failed to
,nake good in the major leagues, be-
fore l was 81 | would quit, for | have
no desire to be a minor Lacquer all my
life" said the kid pitcher. I'm not 81
vet, but | haven't advanced as | had
hoped to do, and it seems to me that
now is the time to quit. l believed l
would be given another chance 10 play
for the Giants this year, and Roches-
ter has no attractions for me-"
When Hoyt, then a boy of fifteen,
came to the Giants from n Brooklyn
high school in 1915 he was regarded
as real baseball prodigy, ana a
brilliant future in the major leagues
was predicted for him by good judges
of material, but to date he has not
made the great strides expected ~
him Hoyt is now 10 years old, AID
has played with various teams in the
International league and the southern
association, to which he was farmed
out by the Giants. 1t is possible he
NAV reconsider the matter of his re-
tirement before the opening of the
season. In the event that he does not
a hitch may develop In the carrying
out of the deal for Smith.

GOLF LOOKS EASY
BUT JUST TRY It
Ancient Scotch Pastime One of
Most Difficult Games to
Play, Hence It's Fascination
to It's Devotees.

A well known player, in explaining
recently the fascination which golf
holds for him, stated that it was be-
cause the game looked so easy and was
in reality so hard, although nothing
seems simpler than hitting a station
airy ball with a club. 1t Is a fact that
the human body is curiously i'll adapt-
ed Tor any such task, for nature does
not point that way and proficiency in
other games Is no passport
There are a great many things to
be mastered before the object can be
satisfactorily accomplished, such as
how to stand, how to swing back, how
to obtain the proper cooperation of
body, arms and eye. The problem of
dispatching that innocent ball in the
desired direction becomes suddenly ter
rifying. Men wrestle with it as with
n refractory collar stud, and the most
even tempers are ruffled by it's per-
versities. Prodigies of resolution and
will power in other spheres cannot re-
member to keep their heads down and
| their eyes on the ball when on the
| links.
| Even when the noviate is passed
| there are days of infinite tribulations
when nighting will go right, abysmal
| lapses of form and loss of instinct
such as never afflict one in any other
sport. Men of weak physique, with
hardly an effort, send the ball flying
$50 yards, while burly fellows get no.
where.
But if the sorrows experienced are
great so also are its rewards. There
| is feel and glow about clean hit
drive or an approach that dribbles up
to the hole that few strokes at polo.
lawn tennis or Billiards are able to
| evoke. In the course of a two-hour
chance to cover himself with glory or
disgrace. 1t depends altogether on his
own skill, nerve and self-control.
A golfer has to suffer for his own
shortcomings and profit by his own
prowess. 1t comforts the diffident, it
inspires the self-reliant and the essen
tial companionableness of the game
saves it from egotism. Even on the
black days there is consolation in be-
in govt in the open air, in the scenery
and surroundings, in the absolute es-
cape from mundane worries, in the
Jolly sporting spirit that blows over the
links and in the consciousness that by
tomorrow ones good shots will be re-
membered and ones bad strokes for
gotten.

MORR|SSEY ALEXANDER BATTLEAT NAMPA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROMISES To Be BEAR

The town? Nampa. The place? Or
pheum theater. The date? Wednes-
day evening, February 10. The occa-
sion? Ten rounds of boxing for the
championship of the intermountain
country between Harry Alexander
challenger, and Lee Morrissey cham
pionship holder. And let it be men
toned here that the battle will be some
go, brother-SOME co!
The agile, clever young Mr.. Norris
sey, with the darting fork hand, will
have to use all his remarkable skill
to keep the dancing fighter from the
junction city from reaching his vulner-
able point and stretching him on the
canvas for little trip to dreamland,
for in Alexander, Morrissey is going to
meet a real two-fisted scrapper from
way back, who will wade in and take
all the clouts Lee can peddle just to
get good, old fashioned wallop at the
boxing instructor from Idaho Falls.
Both boys are wonderfully fast, both
are clever boxers, and artists when it
comes to footwork, bat when it comes
to downright, solid punching. Harry
has it over Lee 40 ways.
According to the reputation of Alex
ander, Mr.. Morrissey is due to have a
very busy evening lodging haymakers
and sleep potions for Harry has a hab-
it of knocking 'em cold when he gets
in the ring, and the better they are,
the harder he sends them into cold
storage.

Leonard having kindly consented 10
partake of the salubrious Idaho air, a
goodly guarantee and plenty of ex-
pense money to buy hot cakes for him
and Billy Gibson while in our midst.
The battle should be a whirlwind
from start to finish, as either Lee or
Harry can give the hustling Hebrew
all he wants in the way of jabs, swings
and mortgage filters, and he would
probably enjoy a very fast evening
