EYEBROWS PLAY HAS R0OM FOR
 IMPROVEMENT

s. Davidson Heron, National anna teur golf champion, is a new dictum, and as yet the varnish and stiffness, so to speak, haven't worn off suffi- ciently for it to become pliable and wieIdy. It's a kind of awkward pro- cess this readjustment of golfng en- titles and values that sidetrack Fran cis Ouimet, Chick" Evans and Bob Gardner to place Davy Heron on the pinnacle of supremacy in amateur ranks.
 But it's quite possible that the pro- cess may prove but slightly different from that which first substituted Ty Cobb as the premier batter of base ball at the expense of Larry Lajoie, Hans Wagner and other notables. A new shoe rarely fits snugly, regard less of its quality or future useful ness. And 1t Is quite possible that the burly Pittsburgh railbender may be destined to shape out a very com fortabGe position for himself along with such celebrities as Travis, Tray CTS Outmet, Evans and the like.
 This much may be accepted as a true promise toward establishing such a possibility. He is a terrific walloper both from the tee and
 
 siderably better than an average put ter, taking his work in the Oakmont turnament as a basis for the asser- ton. Furthermore with his distance he carries very good direction as a rule. He was in trouble now and then in the recent tournament, but the only golfers present who weren't were those who didn't play.
 There is room for improvement in his approach play. More than one opponent during the week had the better of him in this respect. In his final match Bobby Jones had a good margin from this angle. But where Bobby was chipping to four, five, six and eight feet away and missing, Heron was sinking butts of two, | three and four feet longer than Jones. Also in each match Heron sue | ceeded in shooting pretty well down to par golf for one of the IS hole rounds He was well under 80 in his second round with Stearns, after 1 the Nassau player had held him to

Chicago White SOX
 Show No Signs Of
 Cracking Under Strain
With CicOtte and Williams Going Strong Looks
 Easy For GleasOns Tribe.

While the Detriot Tigers were plug Eing along waiting for the Chicago White Sox to crack, watching with eager eyes for the snap to leave the sorely tried arms of Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams, the tribe of Gleason pursues the even tenor of it's way and sets the pace for the Ame-i- can League.
 Perhaps the arms of the two lead Ing pitchers of the White Sox will weaken. It would not be surprising if they did, but in looking for flaws in the White Sex baseball fans must uot allow themselves to lose si<ht of tho team in hating the pitchers.
 Eddie CIcoC.e is in the midst nf the greatest year he has ever known iu his ten yeas or more of pitching Including the game he twirled against tho Yankees "n Saturday, when he costly set them bac ok, he has w"n twenty-four games and lost seven in thlrty-four contests. The remarkable pErt of his game against New York was that he completely tanned a baad that Is noted as eaYt ball hitters and did not use his famous Shia2 ball w.

 It may be slid that the two s.ar hun lers of the iyb:;a Sox a:e holding he team up In the lead. Figures clearly indicate that such Is tha ease when one stops research wo:!S at the pitching averages. But give pause to study the records of the team.

 Grover Cleveland Alexander is now working on his third century of big league victories for he recently pass ed the 200 mark. He is approaching the three-quarter century mark in shut outs since he entered the Ma tional League in 1911 as a member of the PhiIlies. Since entering the big league Alex has never finished a sea- son below the 500 mark In 1916 he beat Matty's record when he regis tered sixteen shutouts.
 The welcome home celebration that was to be rendered to the American athletes who competed in the inter allied games on their arrival recently by A. A. U. officials turned out to be a ffzzle.
 Although Col Thompson of the U. s. A, who was in charge of the team, sent wireless message to the A. A. U. officials, saying the ship would dock on Sunday morning, no reception committee from the A. A. U. was on hand to welcome the boys home.
 It appears that some unauthorized person informed the association mo- guls that the steamship would not dock until the afternoon and the wire less message from Col Thomson was ignored.
 When the committee arrived at the pier in Hoboken, Sunday afternoon with a band playing and banners fly ing, they were stunned when inform ed that the team arrived per sched- ule and had left the pier for parts unknown. Many members of the reception committee are anxious 10 know who pulled the bone.
