Sensational Shots.

Unfortunately. I think. there seems
to be developing in this country
class of players who strive to make
sensational shots every time they
take up club. In observing this
tendency 1 have been impressed by
the fact that almost always these
players are young men. and 1t may
be this taste for sensationallsm IL
merely an expression of youth iht
cultivation of this tendency is had
for the player who aspires to par
golf. for the whole history OF lhe
game shows that the steady PLAYER
brings home the low scores. ne
striving for sensationalism in Soll'
in my mind. represents merely ms
directed ambition. No player mas
Yet been developed who has sue
cessfuily employed sensational work
to conquer steady play.
The ability to play sensational
shot in a crisis is, of course. a most
valuable golf quality. but those who
possess 1t are exceedingly rare. Wal
ter Hagen is about the best l know.
He shows this power best in his
ability to recover from bad lies. In
a match with Hagen no competitor
that Walters is cupped. for 1t is In
just these circumstances that he is
most likely to tear loose with a
sensational shot. which gives him
extraordinary distance or eXtraordi-
nary accuracy. But only the thou
sandth man will have any success
in golf if he relies on sensational
work The steady player will beat
him consistently.

There are some fans who can al
ways see the humorous side to any
argument. Some time ago l wrote an
article on the evils of the Intentional
pass. l put the matter up to fandom
and suggested that the enthusiasts of
the game send to me their solution of
the intentional pass evil. l received
hundreds of replies. Those having the
most meri. l compiled into special
article on the subject. The other day
received a brief reply on the inten-
tioual pass debate from a fan who
had his serious doubts as to whether
or not it is an evil. Here is the letter:
is the Intentional pass really an
c-ii' l am inclined to think 1t is good
base ball. l rather think Pitcher Fred
Coumbe will agree with me on that
Last year Cleveland went into the
ninth inning enjoying four-run lead
over Boston. The game looked like a
cinch for the Indians. Boston started

plate. had the bases filled and Ruth
was up Some may say it would have
been bad base ball, but If Ruth had
been passed Cleveland might have won
/ that game. Coumbe elected to pitch to
Ruth, just as most of the fans are ad-
vocating. and what did Ruth do. He
hit the ball over the fence. broke up

Predicting. before a game has been
played. how the teams will stand after
SIX months of strenuous campaigning Is
a guess, pure and simple. with one per-
sons opinion about as good as anothers.
Many things can happen between now
and October to upset the dope. With
accidents, illness and other unforeseen
developments to contend with. base
ball prophet has a thanklnss job.
Groups Opinion OF Writers.
Probably the best line obtainable is
by grouping the opinions of the writer's
in the cities of both circuits and averag-
ing them. Pursuing this method the
consensus of opinion OF scribes is that
Cincinnati should repeat in the National
League, with second and third places
lying between Chicago and New York.
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn are figured to
fight it out for the fourth and fifth
notches, with st. Louis placed sixth,
Philadelphia seventh and Boston last.

The American League race promises
to be one of the greatest scrambles
the circuit has had since 1908. Cleve-
land is being picked almost unani-
mously to cop, but there is a great
question whether Speaker will present

Cobb's expected hardness in reaching

 It was town talk early in the week that the resignation of MT. Moeur had been asked by Jones, Boyce and Ross in letter addressed to the commis- sioner. Jones and Ross declared they had no knowledge of such letter and Boyce on his first appearance yester- day after an operation that has con- fined him to his home not only ad- mitted that there had been such a let ter, but that he and the other two members of the board who signed il, had copies with all three signatures.
 After the denial of the letter by Ross and Jones there were no devel- opments until the attorney general $ letter to the governor which follows:
 Letter To Governor
 May ', 1920 Hon. Thomas A. Campbell, Governor
 of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: On Monday evening last State Treasurer Ross came to my of flee and officially informed me that you had a letter in your possession, written by one F. c. Barrow eff l have the name correctly, of Cochise county relating briefly to a certain transaction with the administration of the State Land Department. The gray ity of the situation was earnestly urged by him to my attention, and at his request I went with him to the home of State Auditor Boyce, then confined to his bed, to whom he re- iterated most earnestly all that he had laid before me as above mentioned. This matter having been brought so gra phically to my attention as attor- nev general, I would request that you

the matter had been brought to his attention as attorney general by H. $. Ross. The governor immediately trans mitted a copy of the letter to the at torney general and the orgiinal was in roduced at the meeting of the board yesterday.
 Calls Letter Forgery
 It was branded a forgery by Bar row, who admitted that he had sent a voluntary contribution of $250 to MT. Moeur's campaign fund. The letter was addressed to the home of Ben amount was exhibited in support of the statement of MT. Moeur that the money had been returned.
 The alleged letter over the Barrow signature was brief. It made refer ence to the re-appraisement of land and stated that he hoped that his land would not be raised in value, as it had already cost enough besides the $500" The letter was written on Madison hotel stationery, but did not bear the Benson postmark where the hotel is located and where Barrow lives. In- stead, the letter addressed to Bar. Moeur was placed in another envelope and addressed to Governor Campbell. 1t bore a Phoenix postmark.
 The signature is said to somewhat resemble that of Barrow. The simi- larity was so marked that certain members of the board did not hesi- tate to state that they believe he wrote the letter, while others are equally positive he did not On the other hand, the reference to $500 seems in support of Barrow's statement as 1t is generally conceded that the amount he sent the Land Department through Clark was S250. It will not remain with the board to decide this important issue, however, as the mat. hoe. h<a who will employ handwriting experts in the case.

United States Is Ready.

WAsHrNdroN, Dec. 9.-Dlscussing the
Japanese question freely and frankly in
carefully prepared address delivered
to-day In the House. Representative
Kahn OF California. chairman OF the
Military Committee, declared that Amer

II "the statesmen, the publicists the
politicians, the agitators and the dema-
gogues of Japan really wanted war
with the United States they would be
the ones TO bring It on and not the
Americans.
The Military Committee chairman took
occasion to reaffirm HIS belief that n
universal military training policy would
best safeguard the country. and added
"I have no fear that there will be war
between Japan and the United States In
my lifetime, nor even the lifetime OF my
sons. And / am thoroughly satisfied
that If my country remain measurably
prepared there will be no difficulty be-
tween the two nations at any time"
Mr.. Kahn briefly In reviewing the
history of the relations between the
United States and Japan and with re-
gard to the japanese immigration prob

treaty negotiations between the two
Governments, sold students of interna-
tional law everywhere had recognized
the absolute right" OF any nation TO
regulate immigration as II deemed best
Even Japanese students were familiar
with universally accepted decisions on
this point, he said, and added:
1T Ia therefore most unfortunate that
constant agitation regarding these
matters Is maintained by our neighbor
across the Pacific; because the final ef-
feet OF such propaganda and agitation
undoubtedly Is to install q pronounced
hatred OF America and Americans
among the masses in Japan.
This is a decidedly unfortunate CON
