MORAN SEES HEYDLER
NBEHALF OF SALLEE

New York. June 13.-Manager Pat
Moran. of the Cincinnati Reds, called
yesterday upon President John A.
Heydler, of the National Baseball
League, to ask for a remission of
all or part of the suspension of ten
days imposed upon Slim Harry
Sallee, the veteran leftzhanded
pitcher, for using rosin on a ball
while pitching at the Polo Grounds
Moran said that Sallee's offense
consisted merely in rubbing rosin
on the tips of his fingers in order
to give him a grip and control.
Sallee has been pitching for six
teen years and had always used the
rosin TO offset the effects of perspira-
tion. Without the rosin. said Pat.
Sallee would have to retire. Pat
also said that Sallee had never used
the rosin to roughen the surface of
the ball for the purpose of affect
ing it's break. nor had he used
parafn or other substance to smooth
the ball. President Heydler prom
ised to give the plea special con-
sideration.

NO STRAICHTAWAY
FOR OLYMPIC METER

Antwerp, June 13.-Officials in
charge of the Olympic games to be
held in August have thus far found
it impossible to arrange a straight
away at the stadium for the 200
meter race, the nearest Olympic
equivalent to the American 22O-
yard dash.
The maximum possible length of
a straight track in the stadium Is
only slightly above 100 yards. and
the 20O-meter race probably will be
run with one gradual elliptical
curve in the course.

NATIONALS DROP SECOND GAME TO CHICAGO WHITE SOXOTF
Lively Ball a
Help to Clubs
With Sluggers

The major league magnates last
winter stated that they were going
Ito change the pitching rules be-
cause the fans wanted to see more
batting. Well the latter are get
ting what they wanted IL the scores
of last week are any criterion.
Take a look at the runs and hits
of both leagues for the week end
ing Saturday and you will notice
that the sixteen clubs made 9s1 hits
land scored 459 runs.
This Is an average of 61.31 hits
per club and 2S.13 runs per club
for the week.
| Ball In Livelier.
This Is almost double the average
for last season for the same week.
There must be some truth that the
bail Is made lof better material.
Surely the batters are no bet
ter nor the pitchers pitching any
more effectively. They say the hard
hitting is caused by the doing away
with the shine, spit and emery
ball. Well, there may be something
In that but the fact remains that
ball must be hit to make 1t go any
distance, shine or hot.
The fact is the ball is a great deal
liyelier this year than formerly and
that and that alone is what is CIV
Ing the fans heart disease when
their club is causing the other fell
lows to yell IL their pet twirlers are
getting the life hammered out of
them.
Then another point to look at is
the fact that never before have so
many errors been made. Look at
the number last week. 13S of them.
inat also goes to prove that the
ball is faster.
The records for all the clubs
since last Sunday up to Saturday
follows:

1t is easy enough, simple enough,
to preach the gospels of golf. To
practice them is another matter.
You know certain things should
be done-and frequently you know
how to do them. But you don't.
You forgot all about it until it was
too late and trouble had already
arrived.
Thousands of golfers. for exam
pie, are afflicted by the fault of
swinging the club back in a hur-
ried, jerky fashion.
This fault is largely the result of
nervousness or over
concentration.
1t is a serious fault, for it not
only destroys the rhythm of the
swing but leads to a sudden lifting
of the head.
Yet there is a simple way to cor
rect this error. One correction at
least is to grip the club with a
lighter grip and to think to your
self, Now take il easy" as a re-
minder.
Yet knowing this corrective rem
edy the golfer frequently forgets all
about it.
If he happens to be in a nervous
mood-from overwork or from over
golf. he is very likely to grip the
club at the first toe with all his
strength, lunge back on his driver
and then wonders why he missed
the shot.
The Hurried Swing.
|. The golfer may be nervous from
many causes. 1t may be from the
strain of competition. 1t may be
that he has suddenly lost his touch
and with it all confidence in his
game.
1t may be that he has been over
working and the strain and worry
have affected his nervous system.
1t may be that he has gone stale
from too much golf. Whatever the
cause, the result. nine times out of
ten, will be a hurried back swing,
bereft of steadiness and rhythm.
The hurried swing is almost GER
tain to follow physical WEAKNESS.
Here you might think that a slower
swing would follow. But il doesn't.
The player. becoming weary. feels
that he is losing his punch. He has
the feeling that he won't be able
to get his normal distance. So he
decides often, unconsciously. to hit
harder, and, in trying to hit harder,
he lunges back and thereby loses all
the power in his blow.
If he could only remember. at this
stage. to be sure to carry out a
steady, even back swing; to slow
down his game and his mental atti-
tude, he would do far better.
But WEAKNESS or nervousness
wreck his concentration and clogs

his memory. He forgets all about
it-until too late.
Last August, at Oakmont, we fol-
lowed certain we'll known golfers
who were reported in trouble and
upon the verge of failing to qualify.
Several of these should not only
have qualified but should have been
championship contenders.
We wanted to see what the trou-
BILE was-why experienced golfers
capable of 75 were struggling &c
beat an Sc.
In nearly every case the answer
was the same. Trouble in one or
two of the deep pits, lack of a put
ting touch, perhaps, had brought on
7 a state of nerves. natural Sc
quence.
And this state of nerves" wa,
| being shown by a fast, hurried back
swing Verging upon a lunge or a
jerk. The stars about to fail in no
instance were swinging easily and
steadily with the old rhythm. They
were now trying 100 hard to make
up lost ground. An ease of swing.
as a rule, accompanies an ease of
mind.
HaCen's Strength.
Hagen is always a dangerous con-
tender because he carries into ac-
! tion this notable case of mind.
If he is ever worried he never
shows it. He also has the physical
stamina to stand lot of golf with
out going stale. In this way he
can develop steadiness through con-
stant playing and yet not become
worn down.
BY the time many golfers have
played sufficient golf to develop
steadiness their keenness has been
destroyed and a reaction sets in.
This was the case of Travers in
1914. He lacked the physical stam-
ina to play as much golf as he put
himself through, and when his frst
match came he was on the verge OF
breaking down at the first slip.
When you are keen for the game
you can ordinarily force yourself.
for one example, to give the putt
a chance on the green. But when
you are physically weary or men
tally harassed or under a high ner-
vous tension. you forget about many
of the simple essentials and hit
with such suddenness and such force
that recovery is next to impossible
for the average player.
You may have a four-foot putt
with your opponent thirty feet
away. You figure the hole all won
with complete confidence in your
ability to get the putt. Then he
sinks the thirty-footer and you are
suddenly confronted with the ne
cessity of getting the four-footer
to even acquire half. 1t makes Q
big difference.

Speaker Giuing Sisler Race
For League Batting Honors
BY GEORGE L. MoRELAND.

1t is too bad about poor iris
Speaker being Handicapped by man
agerial duties. II he did not have
to worry about his pitchers and
the spurt of the Yankees, maybe
he would be able to bat about 500;
but, as II is, all he can do is to
gather an average of 1891, scoring
the measly total of forty-eight runs
in forty-nine games. 1t is an out
rage to handicap a ball player in
this manner.
The real leader with the war
club thA week is Sisler, who tops
the regulars with an average of
.3S4, three points above the Indians
great player.
But the real credit of the week
is due Clyde Milan, which was pre-
dicted by many scribes along
the circuit that he was about
through. Here comes the old boy
along with seventy-one hits. the
same number Sisler has collected,
and the latter has played in three
more games than the local player.
Milan has boosted his average to
$50. Pray let us have a few more
old men, IL his work can be taken
as a criterion.
Many 800 Hitters.
There are forty-two players bat
ting 800 or better this season. This
is about twice the usual number
who hit in this classic group.
Cleveland is leading the race in
hits, with 497, just one more
than Washington. But Cleveland
hss-an average for the sea-
son of .304 against .295 for the
local club. Cleveland also leads in
runs, with PSI to their credit.
The Yankees lead in long hits,
with a grand total of 712 bases,
234 of them being for extra taps.
Ruth, with his seventeen home
runs, easily tops all other batters.
His average in total hits amounts
to sol, he having a total of sew
enty extra bases, with his seven
teen homers. three triples and ten
doubles.
In stolen bases the locals out
shine all other clubs by a large
percentage, having rolled up the
steals to sixty-seven, their nearest
rival being the Yanks. with thirty
five. Rice, Roth and Harris, be-
tween. have a total of exactly fifty
stolen bases, or more than Detroit
and the Athletics combined.
The pitchers table will give the
fans an idea of why the Nationals
are not winning more games. With
team that stands second in bat
ting and third in runs, with a big
lead in stolen bases, one wonders
why they are not higher in the
race. The pitchers table will ex-
plain better than words.
When Walter Johnson comes
along with seven defeats out of
thirteen games, and Jim Shaw yet
to win a game, having four defeats
to his credit, Ii Is little wonder
the team is losing. 1t is surpris-
ing that they are so high with this
handicap.

gress and two wives of members Of the
Presidents cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives Of the Am

as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
