tralian champion, had the art Of slio
ing and hooking down to science.
He could, like most pros, produce Q
hook or slice at will but had mors
than one variety. He could make the
ball break abruptly or add just
little suspicion of the curve at the end.
That was real control.
There is a lot of fun in practicins
these shots. Go out on the course
and take position where tree might
obstruct the line Of play, Select
wide place where it is possible to both
slice and hook without going into the
rough. Alternate the shots so that il
is not going to be too meCha1i"al.
When one can learn to play the hook
he has a valuable asset.
II you watch pros play don't let their
open stance fool you. Most leading
players bring their right hands and
wrists in powerfully and take the open
stance to correct the effect on tbs
balls flight.

They Are Happy

THE three members of the
= Naval Academy football
team who had reason to feel
the greatest satisfaction over
the defeat Of Princeton were
King and Bolles, the tackles,
and Frawley. In addition to
having taken part in the game
last year when Princeton won,
they rowed on the Academy's
great crew, which was SO un-
expectedly defeated on Lake
Carnegie last spring. Frawley,
right guard, who did not play
in the football game, rowed on
the crew, and all the Navy
players who started. except
Frawley, Taylor and Barchet,
played in the football game.
King and Bolles, however,
were the only ones to take
part In both contests. They,
with Frawley, will also have
q chance to row against
Princeton next spring.

BETHANY PREPS
FOR NAVY GAME

Greatest Team College Ever
Produced Hopes to Give Mid
shipmen Some Trouble.

n ETHANY, w. Va, Oct. o.
II The greatest football team
that ever represented
Bethany College on the gridiron is
putting forth every effort in prep
aration for the heavy Navy eleven
at Annapolis next Saturday. Prac-
tice this week has been of the most
strenuous kind, players and coaches
alike being impressed with the zeal
to make creditable showing against
the team that is being heralded as
the greatest in the East.
It would be too much for the team
representing a college of 300 students
to hope for a victory over the eleven
from the nations naval training acad-
emy. 1t is with a mingled feeling of
hope and OF determination that the
West Virginia gridders will face the
Navy next week. II was with just
such feeling that Bethany went up
against Detroit u. last year. and won
9-5 victory against overwhelming
odds.
The loss OF the opener of the season
to w. & J. by two touchdowns was
followed by wins over Marietta, Ohio
University, and Buffalo u. The games
have revealed the Bison herd" as the
Bethany eleven term themselves, has
a wealth of power and some of the
most likely players In football togs
today.
Bethany followers are confident in
the ability OF their team, and of the
individual players. They believe that
the West Virginia eleven will make a
creditable showing next Saturday.

in the fact that the Navy line charges
down field and takes the secondary
defense. AS a matter of fact, the line
unless it watches itself, has a tendency
to interfere with the backs too soon.
The Navy defense is very sharp
and aggressive, especially on the line
Of scrammage. It's one weakness in
my opinion being in the position Of ne
defensive backs. The center rush
plays out of the line and with the
fullback forms the first line of sec
ondary defense. The two backs
play about eight or ten yards behind
the line Of scrimmage, just behind
the center and the fullback. The de-
fensive backs form what amounts to
a square.
This defensive formation is partic-
ularly strong against line bucks and
short forward passes over the line of
scrimmage, but not so strong against
wide runs and forward passes thrown
down the field. The Navy defense is
admirably adapted to stop the Navy
offensive plays, but every team the
Navy meets isn't going to play the
same style of attack that they do.
1t is very hard indeed for a Navy
back to cover a long forward pass,
from his position. He is by the method

the receiver will get a good start o..
him.
There Is very little to choose be-
tween the individual men on the Navy
team. Bolles and King. the tackles,
are particularly good. They are both
veterans and are as good all-around
players as can be found. There are
several sets of backs equally good,
and the ends are better than last year.

They don't seem to have a
good punter on the squad. A team
without a good kicker is at a tremen-
dous disadvantage. There is going to
be a time in every game when a good
long kick is needed, and the team that
can't produce one, will find itself dis
tinctly handicapped.
1t is not particularly hard to de-
velop a good kicker, and / am really
that the Navy coaches
haven't paid more attention to this
important feature of the game. King
Is fairly good place kicker, sure and
accurate inside the 30-yard line. The
Navy are none too strong on kicking

RUTH ENDS HIS

Quit Transforming Trip Out Of
Respect for Wishes of Coils.
Huston and Rupert.
BY BABE RUTH.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The best
~ argument l heard at Scran-
ton the other day as to
why should abandon barn
storming was that "wise men
change their minds, fools never"
| never expect to be in Solomon s
class but l am glad that Colonel
Huston prevented me from get
ting in the other classification.
have played my last game this
year. / have knocked my last
home run, and this is my last
story until spring training comes
around. 1t is very pleasant to
terminate what some reporters
have called my literary efforts"
with the feeling that | have done
right by the baseball fans, by my
fellow players and above all by
the men who brought me to the
New York ball club.
The reason l started transforming
was to do something, according to my
way of thinking, that would help base
ball players as a whole. The reason
l stopped was to show my apprecia.
ton of Colonel Rupert and Colonel
Huston, who brought me to New Yock
at an enormous expense and who have
treated me fair and square ever since.
AS to Judge Lands, l have nothing
but the highest regard and respect
for him and the difficult position he
holds. At no time in my recent ven.
ture have in any way permitted per-.
sonal feelings or sentiment to sway
my judgment.
My convictions while misguided,
were nevertheless sincere and gen
uine. Just what my convictions were
and my reasons for evading a certain
baseball rule will be disclosed when
Judge Lands deems 1t advisable.
In the meantime 1 am preparing to
join the Footlight League. / don [
know just how l will make out In the
new job but my contract starts carly
in November over a well known Vau-
deville Circuit and they have already
sent me what actors call my lines"
There's about eighteen pages for me
to memorize and on the second day
have only got eleven sentences COM
mitted to memory. In the old days
at school 1 used to recite THE Charge
OF the Light Brigade" but the stuff
they have handed me now La not 80
easy.
In baseball the audience Is always
behind you, but in this Stage League
the crowd Is right out there staring
you In the face. And here's the
tough part-if you go into a slump of
cold feet. there isn't any pinch hitter
sitting around to bat for you.
They say it's going to be a hard
winter. Well, the Vaudeville League
will give me something to attend to
afternoons and evenings, but the SNOW
period cant pass too quick to suit
me. l am In good shape right now.
My weight Is down and the way my
arm is healing shows that my general
condition is good. When the old call
for spring training brings the bali
players back from their hunting and
fishing expeditions I will be happiest,
and II trying means anything. I will
be out OF the "fifty-nine home.run
class" before the next world series
rolls around.

BAN WILL VISIT
MEXICO TO AID
HIS PET GAME
Baseball Taking Strong Hold
Hold There, as Johnson Is In
vited to Explain Its Conduct.

~ HICAGO, Oct. 22.-Basebal is
u gaining a foothold south Of
the Rio Grande. Quite re-
Gently two star teams from the
Texas League invaded Mexico and
were received cordially. Now Ban
Johnson has been invited to Mexico
City as a guest of the government.
He plans to visit the capital of the
republic by December 1, where he
will explain how the national pas
time Of the United States is con-
Quoted.
johnson embarks on hunting
trip to a ranch 175 miles south Of
Ell Rio very shortly. He had con-
verse with the Mexican consul in
Chicago and that official extended
to him an invitation to go to Mex
leo City as a guest OF the govern
ment. He explained that the Mex
lean secretary of state Is an ardent
baseball fan and that he wished to
confer with johnson about the game
that is typical of the American peo-
pie. johnson will accept the invi-
tation.
Back in 1907 the White Sox trained
IN tllys ~ ~ NOHiiShty
and distinguished party Travelled
there In a special train and planted
the seeds Of baseball. 1t is evident
that the "Old Roman" did a good
Job, because the little Mexican boys
took up the game and developed
quite a considerable number OF fair
ly good ball players. The game has a
firm foothold in the republic south
and the secretary OF state now is no
much concerned about the sport that
he wishes to entertain Mr.. johnson
as his guest.
"It would be n great ting" John
son says, "if Mexico really would be-
come interested in baseball A nation
is known by it's sports, and l believe
II baseball is established below the Rio
Grande 1t would serve useful pur-
pose in cementing amicable relations
between our neighbors and ourselves.
I believe that ! will go to Mexico City.
I am sure the trip would be enjoyable,
and | believe IL Mexico takes up our
national pastime n great deal OF good
would be accomplished"

ing the river was for the purpose OF

do this II was necessary to obtain
