A full wallop at the ball is easier
TO handle than a half wallop, when
the wall0p you are taking Is at the

half-shots or three-quarter shots with
a stronger club. Play the right club
for the right distance and hit every

Standardization OF the golf ball is

1.-THE W. c. A. officers believe the
Standardization Of the golf ball would
harm the game, particularly in view
OF the fact that sustaining golfers are

BILLY EVANS

An umpire ought TO know Just about
what kind OF an assortment Of fOOlers
a pitcher carries. Billy Evans, VET
eran OF the American League. has
been keeping close tab on Eddie CT
cote, OF the White SOx, this spring.
Evans says:
Naturally, I was greatly interested.
in watching CicOtte work, since he
has been hailed as the peer OF freak
pitching, which in now on tbe shelf.
To my surprise he showed me
varied assortment OF stun. His fast
bail Is as good as ever. IL still takes
that little uncanny hop which makes
II so hard TO hit. He also has beau
tufully breaking splitter. with which
ne mixes up slow curve and his
old-time deceiver. the knuckle ball.
When you force six Of the Tigers
down on strikes, The mighty Ty Cobb
and Neach among the victims, you
sure must have something on the ball.
] am inclined TO disagree with those
who figured that the elimination Of
freak pitching meant the passing OF
Clcotte. lie appears TO be as sweet a
pitcher as ever. In 1921, when The
splitter exists. / look for CicOtte TO be
as good a pitcher as in the past.
Eddie Is endowed with gray matter"
JOHN McGRAW.
Injuries suffered on the gridiron
have eclipsed the futures OF many
promising baseball players. That Is
why a college ball player is a gamble
until he is away from the shadows
OF the goal posts. John McGraw says !:
"Franch Frisch was fortunate as
football player in that he did not sus-
tain an injury OF such character as to
hamper him In his ball playing. A
number OF prospective m3iOr league
stars have walled TO attain greatness
because OF the results Of injuries re-
ceived on the gridirOn. Harry Nc
Cormick. for one, would have been a
great ball player had he not injured
both knees and one shoulder while
playing football at Bucknen. There
Is Dave Robertson, too. Dave prob
ably would have as fine a left-handed
pitcher as there is In baseball today,
but In the last game Of football he
played In college he hurt his left
shoulder and he hasn't been able to
throw a curve ball since. Only the
fact that he Is a good hitter enabled
him 10 remain in major league bsse-
ball Those two are notable ex-
ampies Of what have in mind. There
have been many others"

Jimmy WIIDF

A lot Of folks think that II there is
one person under the sun who should
be satisfied 10 is Jimmy Wilde. But he
isn't. Jimmy is the undisputed ny
weight champion Of the world, but he
wants the crown worn by Pete Her
man. The atom, who has made a snug
fortune since coming to this country,
says:
Il want TO retire-and expect to do
so before the end of 1920. But before
ending my boxing days I would like
to try for the bantam championship.

Herman for Promoter Cochran in
