Sweetser Never Had
TO Worry About
Putting

Jesse Sweetser, the new
amateur golf champion, solved
the putting problem by getting
his approach shots up so we'll
that he never had to worry
about three puts, and sometimes
he didn't have to worry about
a second putt.
Sweetser's task in winning the
title at Brookline brought him
In the face Of the stiffest opposi-
ton q champion ever had in the
event. He had to battle the
hardest opponents on the list. II

We already have spoken of the i'm.
movement in Pipp's all.around play
this year. Early during his Yankee
career, Wallie led the American
League in knocking in runs. How.
ever, in recent years he won the
reputation of being especially weak
at bat with runners on the bases.
This year Pipp again has been
knocking in runs. and knocking them
across in punches. The American
League official averages again will
list him high in betting Yankee breth.
rem around the base lines. Pipp's
fielding also has braced with his hit.
ting, and the long, lean arms OF Wal
lie catch anything thrown near first
base.
Pipp's world series record Of 1921
Is against him. He was bust"
with the mace in the 1921 series.
though his fielding held up very
well. pipp only made four hits in
the eight games Of 1921, finishing
the series with the humble batting
average Of .154. He made only one
hit in three games against Nehf.
Kelly Is an old player in many
ways. At times, he looks one of the
greatest in the game and then he
will go through a stretch Of games
where he finds II hard to get a ball
out Of the infield. But on a seasons 9
work, George averages high. He
knocked in the most runs in the Ma.
tional League in 1920, and ranked
second TO Hornsby in that respect
last year. Kelly now Is hitting
sixth, but he still manages to drive
in a lot Of runs.
Kelly equalled record held by
Abstein Of the 1909 Pirates, when he
famed ten times In the 1921 worlds
series, but he managed TO get In
seven hits, and finished the series
with a batting aserase Of .283.
At the time OF writing there is
only an outside chance Of Pittsburgh
getting into the series. 30 little time
will be devoted in discussing the
Pirates. Grimm is a comparatively
young player, who plays a deep first
base. and while no slueger like
Kelly, the former st. Louis score
card boy is a dangerous and timely
hitter.
