Seldom Accomplished by
Star Players; Ouinaet's
First II Last September
By Ray Mccarthy

Golfers, old and young, good and
bad, who aspire to win place among
the "aces' should not become discour-
aged If they don't win the honor early
in their career Y ou can never tell
when your turn VIII come, and the
best advice Wc ean hand out to all
such aspirants is to keen on shooting
Take Ned Sawyer, for instance, WIN
ner Of the metropolitan amateur cham-
pionship last summer. The Siwanoy
Club star has made about every kind
of shot possible IN his twenty years
of golf play, but in all that time nc
mad never ct an ace" Then Sunday.
while playing q little match with j.
w Harris, Of the Sleepy Hollow Club.
on that course, he was astounded to
find that he had made the second hole
in !.
This second hole is 100 yards long.
Sawyer teed up his ball and drove for
the green and promptly forgot all about
the shot until he advanced 70 find his
ball le searched high and low and
finally discovered the little pill re-
posing on the bottom Of the tin. Saw
yer was not only astonished, but lm
mcnscly pleased, naturally Next to
winning the Met title this season. he
is more pleased with this feat than
any OINcl ne mas NcCNH ptlSItu tliS
year. Sawyer Of Siwanoy, is now
ready to be initiated into the "ace"
club
Sawyer's performance recalls the
fact that Francis Ouimet, who, in adj
dition to winning numerous titles and
to accomplishing nearly everything
possible in golf, did not realize the
ambition of all golfers to hole out in
one at some time or other until last
tc mber. Playing on the links Of the
Commonwealth Country Club on Sep
tember -, he drove off with mid
ron from the third tee, with the hole
243 yards away. The lay is slightly
downhill The ball sped true, rolled
to the ilagstck and dropped into the
cup. It was the first and only occa-
sion the eX-champion had holed out in
a single stroke.
It's funny how this hole in one shot
works out buffers Just beginning to
play the game will often turn III Il ono
shot white many of the stars have yet
to attain the honor.
Bob Gardner is the only player who
ever holed out in one in national title

Tilden Receivers From
Staleness and Is Ready
to Bring Back Trophy
By Fred Hawthorne

Every member Of our Davis Cup
team, which meets Australasia in the
challenge round Tor the historic inter
national trophy next week, viii be in
supreme physical condition for the
test, according to a cable received by
the L. S. l.. T. A. yesterday from
Samuel Hardy, the team captain
For those OF US who knew the over

verge Of his departure for New Tea
land, this will be reassuring note.
The worlds champion is player Of
excessively nervous temperament at
all times q man who never carries any
excess weight, and, consequently, when
ne falls below mis- normal poundage
there are quite apt to be disastrous re
suits.
Tildeu's strenuous camgaign on the
courts Of America and Europe last
summer did not begin to exact its toll
until after the East West matches last
September. Following those matches,
the champion Joined the other mem

Johnston, wbo went back direct to the
Coast), and started the trans -contincn-
sai tour Of exhibition matches that was

TiIden Forced to Rest

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 20 Yalc's
hockey plans for 1921 were to-day an
nounced by Manager c. w. Parsons,
who stated that the construction of an
outdoor rink with natural ice will be
begun Immediately on the Yale tennis
courts. Much of the cement which was
LETT over after the contract to com
plete the permanent concrete seats in
the Bowl has been utilized and the
hockey squad has been hoping for a
cold wave in order that it might enjoy
practice in this city at the beginning
of the Christmas vacation
Adverse weather conditions have pre-
vented the formation of natural ice and
the squad left here to-day to spend
three or four days in practice at the
Philadelphia Ice Palace, where the pre-
llminary season will be opened Tues
day with game between Yale and the
Quaker City seven.
Yale viii meet the st. Paul School
team the next night in the same rink

vacation, coming together in Pitts
burgh, December 81, for a match In
the Duqucsne Garden in that city
against the Carnegie Tech outfit, which
Yale VII. meet again the next evening
on the same ice.
Because of the lack OF an artificial
ice rink at home, Yale has been given
permission by the faculty to 20 to
Philadelphia for its home games as
last year All the matches VIII be
played in the Ice Palace. The follow
ing schedule has been arranged;

Abe Mitchell has the honor cf being

Oelng IN CnlcagO at the current WI
Colonel Huston is quite certain that
there will be no peace in the American
League until Johnson is out of it. He
maintains that Johnson steadfastly op-
posed the appointment of Judge X NJ.
Lands to the post of baseball COM
missio"er and that Johnson is stirring
np the tempest in the American League
with the intention of embarrassing the
Judge
The Colonel spoke more or less as
follows:
"Johnson's action in breaking the
precedent Of eighteen years in not
electing New York, Boston and Chi
cago members on the board of di-
rectors of the American League in
dicated clearly that he and his wi
full five are dissenters from the new
Lands regime in baseball, and shows
how '\-y deeply he resents the part
which these three clubs had in bring
ing about the new order OF thjple.
Opposed to Three Clubs
johnson is against any plan that
reluctant to relinquish the power
which is passing from his hands, due
TO MS own incompetence.
johnson is very sore against the
three clubs-New York, Chicago and
Boston because it was they who, in
the Mays case. gave him his first
real setback in baseball and it was
these same three clubs who, by com
bining with the National League.
compelled Johnson to relinquish hts
throttlehold on baseball. He can
show his resentment only by the
psttv exercise of power in his own
league.
During the last two years John
son has been strong and loud in his
opposition to Judge Lands as chair
man of the National Commission.
During the last year Johnson has
fought the appointment of Judge
Lands as chairman of the National
Commission and successfully resisted
The ldge's advent into baseball until
compelled to consent at the recent
Chicago meetings.
"J0hnson's show of acquiescence
S tie veriest Hypocrisy. He had to
surrender at the recent Chicago
meeting because his 'wlful five de-
serted him in the fear that the pro-
posed twelve-club league would in
lure their property investments. No
other reason would appeal to them.
Intent on Causing Dissension
at was hoped that the adoption
of the new national agreement would
bring about peace in baseball ard
leave ell concerned free to devote
theil time to the publication of the
game itself. Johnson has wilfully
broken oren old sores, and his evil

that Judge Lands will quickly find

johnson and his FIVE clubs are
banded together by ties other than
true craftsmanship. Johnson an
ncVnced two years ago that five clubs
would hereafter run baseball. He
has endeavored to carry this threat
into execution
