Johnson Ranks WithLono.
est Drivers; Mays Be-
coming Adept on Links
BY Ray Mccarthy

Golf is drawing new addicts daily
from all walks of life. but from no
profession probably is il receiving
more recruits than from the ranks of
the various major league baseball
teams. In fact, so popular has the
links game become with the diamond
performers that George Gibson, man
ager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, recent
~ had to issue an order prohibiting
mis- players from playing any more
golf withou. his consent
Gibson said that the game was TAX
ing so much Of the time of his hire
lings that it was interfering with their
chosen game; that when he was about
ready to lineup his team he had to
60 out on the links to call them.
Many big league stars have been
playing golf for years and have be-
come quite proficient at the Scotch
pastime. Merkle, Cobb. Shawkey and
many of the others have been links
men for some time and play the game
we'll. But of late more baseball play
lolling around the hotel lobby in tie
boys now take clubs and TREK to the
links.
Among the new corners who are
showing up we'll in their recent sport
venture are Carl Mays, of the Yankees
| and Clark Griffith, of the Senator's
Walter Johnson also is a nifty per-
former. although he can hardly be
classed as newcomer. In driving few
have anything on the big fellow. who
hits 300 yards from the tee con-
sistently.
Griffith Shows Improvement

much difference of opinion on the sub

Several years ago Cobb claimed eol1

him the wrong focus. He also claimed
the stroke was detrimental to his bat

ager McGraw and some of the othe r.
forbade their men to play golf for fea,

However, that attitude has chanret
considerably since. Most managers to
