With the advent Of spring, golf
is again coming into its own. For

Although the winter greens are
still being used and will be for
several weeks yet, the course is
considered in fairly good condition.
Work on the summer greens has

In connection with the coming
match between Hoppe and schae.
fer, Robert enjamin. Hopes man
ager, offers a worthwhile suggest.
ion.
Both Benjamin and Hoppe are
baseball fans. The suggestion Is
along the lines followed in base
ball. In a recent conversation with
Benjamin he unburden himself as
follows:
"ln baseball the losing side al.
ways has even innings. Any mar.
gin piled un by a team in a certain
half OF an inning is. erased unless
the Other team has an equal
chance.
For instance, il with the score
standing 5 to 3 at the end Of the
sixth inning in favor OF the home
team the visitors make three runs
In the first half OF the seventh
only to have the game stopped BIZ
rain, the home team still wins.
THE three runs made by the
visitors in the first half Of the
seventh are erased because the
home team did not get a chance
for its bali OF the inning, due to
rain.
Many an important billiard
match Is wen by the contestant
shooting first. This is unfair"
It Is his idea for the defeated
cueist to have an equal chance.
For instance, with Hoppe and
Schaefer playing a 500 point match.
1t is assumed that Schaefer plays
first and manages to win out by a
small margin. It Is Benjamin's suE-
Eestions that the players continue
after he has reached the 500 mark
until he misses.
Then the other player shall he
given the right to tie or top the
mark set by his opponent.
Thus, IL at the start Of the eish-
teeuth inning the score stood
Schaefer $50 and Hoppe $50, and
Schaefer ran Ss. making his score
54S, Hoppe would then have his
chance.
1t is a suggestion that has con
siderable merit.

Ign Club Is one OF the leading
pitchers in the National League.

N hitting last season.
While Eddie Roush is seventh In
the list Of hItters, he really rank
ed next to Hornsby. since the
players in between the two In the
records played in only a few
games.
Hornsby and Roush are great
hitters. Hornsby Is a right hands:
while Roush hts from the left sida
Of the plate.
Crimes is a pitcher who makes a
careful study OF the batters. That
Is one OF the big reasons for his
continued success. His opinion
therefore Is worthy OF attention.
The Brooklyn pitching ace says
Roush is hsrded to pitch to then
Hornsby. Here Is his size-up OF
the National Leagues two best
batsmen:
81 can tell almost exactly what
Hornsby intends to do from his
position at the plate. but Roush
never.
"once Hornsby takes his po2:.
ton at the plate he never changes
vt. II he crowds the plate you know
he Is trying TO hit to right field,
II he stands off you know he wants
TO pull one to left field.
"Hornsby always takes a healthy
swing. 1t Is a rarity for him u
buut on you.
Knowing these things. I pitch
Ito Hornsby accordingly. or course
/ don't always fool him. He makes
many a base hit off my delivery.
What l mean Is, there is nothing
mysterious about Hornsby's inten-
lions when he steps to the plate.
ION the other hand, Roush al.
ways takes the same position when
he steps into the batter's box, buI
he keeps you constantly bewllder.
ed by out.guessing you.
HE Invariably makes his hitt
after the pitcher starts his de-
livery. He either suddenly choke>
upon his bat or steps away from
or into the ball. He IAN do any OF
these things from his natural pos!.
ton.
"otten from his position ! make
up my mind that he intends 10 take
4 healthy swing, only to have him
lay down a tantaliEIng bunt.
More ball games have been lost
through hunts than home runs.
"Hornsby and Roush are great
hitters, but ! would much prefer
pitchiu gto Hornsby.'
Willie Hoppe will seek to regain
his 1872 balk line championship
from Young Jake sehaefer in a
match that will start March 20 in.

Hoppe's defeat by Schaefer was
one Of the big upsets OF the past
year IN sporting circles. Hoppe had
been regarded as invineiblS at the
1872 game.
