That golfers who develop fore
arms and biceps in the hope they
may be able to lengthen their drive
are all wrong and out OF luck. is best
attested by recent census among
the leading players of the ancient
and honorable game. Investigation
shows that but one in ten of the
leading drivers are what might be
called muscular individuals, and
those male golfers who may boast
big muscles do not figure the addi-
tional strength of any great value
In getting distance to their drives.
Probably the most noted example. ac-
cording to Chick" Evans, of Chicago.
is Miss Alexa Stirling. the champion.
The Southern star weighs but 10
pounds, but all of her drives will
average better than 230 yards-Which
is indeed excellent. Evans declares
great strength is not nearly so es-
sential as good timing and good
form.
Many minor league players thru
out the country have been attracted
to the west coast of Florida by the
formation Of real winter league.
The organization has been named the
Florida West Coast Winter League
and preparations for the start of it's
season have been completed. The
league will consist Of four cities-St.
Petersburg, Tampa, Tarpon Springs
and Sarasota. The race will continue
yho,,
most Of the minor leaguers start for
their respective spring training
camps. A salary limit of $1,000
month has been decided on and each
team will be limited to twelve play
ers. Because of the eagerness OF
many minor league players to spend
the winter months in a warm climate
the four winter league club owners
are finding little difficulty in organic
ing teams.
Eddie Casey, former Harvard foot
ball star. now coaching at Mount
Union College, Alliance, o., can not
play professional football and hold
his job at the Ohio Methodist insti-
tuition. Early this season Casey
jumped out on Sunday and played
couple of games with a western New
York professional eleven. Word
was sent to the college and Casey
was called before the college heads
and questioned. The former Harvard
mainstay admitted he had played.
and in return was informed Mount
Union could not permit him to play
another game of Sunday football.
The college had no objection to his
playing on other days of the week,
but Of course this would be impos-
sible because he is busy coaching
during the week. He gave UP his
Sunday engagements.'
Harvard has perfected new sys-
tenn for giving the track candidates
practice. A schedule has been ar
ranged whereby every athlete on the
squad and all aspiring athletes have
a chance to do certain work in the
gym. They are required to follow
a course or schedule mapped out for
them by the physical directors. The
course is given with especial care
and those who complete it are ex-
pected to be ready for track events
at least one month before the ath-
letes who wait till spring to get their
limbering UP exercises. The plan
scored a big hit at Harvard.
Baseball guessers, good and bad,
are busy placing Clarence Rowland,
former manager of the Chicago
White Sox, and the past season a
scout for the Detroit club. Most OF
them agree that he is in line to sue
coed Hughey Jennings at Detroit,
which sounds reasona bic. since he
already is connected with the club.
Others aver however, that Row
land will land with the ST. Louis
Browns, succeeding Jimmy Burke,
tho there. if the logic Of things Is
pursued, Lee Foil would naturally
drop into the job. All agree tina,
Rowland should land somewhere as (?
