Hagenlocher-C Cochran
Match Near COmpletior

One of the most important balkline
contests in several years seems prac.
tically certain to be arranged as a re.
suit of several conferences held yes.
terday. 1t would bring together Erich
Hagenlocher, the champion Of Ger.
many, and Welker Cochran, one of the
Big Three of American billiards. II
has been suggested that they play
2,400 points of 1872 balkline in blocks
of 400 on Thursday. Friday and Satur.
day of this week at the Strand
Academy.
Hagenlocher has created q startling
lmpre ession by his work here during
the last two months. After defeating
several lesser players he overwhelmed
Albert Cutler, the perennial trial horse
last week in a 5000 point contest in
which he averaged 53h. with high
run of 3s5, one point more than the
worlds championship high run record
held by Cochran.

With the exception of Readville, the
other Boston mile tracks, Narragansett
Park. the fine oval in Maine and others
have passed. Charter Oak has kept
the game going in Connecticut and in
other states good half-mile rings have
come to the front and people are en-
Joying the sport on the two lap ovals
just IS much as did their fathers and
grandfathers on the big tracks.
The Bay State circuit is one of the
most compact and successful anywhere.
This year it lists nine meetings, start
ing at Woonsocket on June 13 and
continuing in the order at Stafford
Springs, Avon, Windsor, Springfield,
Northampton, Greenfield, Woonsocket
and Norwich. This brings them up to
the fairs, dozens in numbers, with
Brockton the most important, as $4O,-
600 is offered there for the horses.
Maine Getting Back in Earnest
Maine is getting back into the fray
in no uncertain manner. Racing there
is most popular at the fairs, and the
managers of these expositions are
offering $4,000 freefor-alls, with no
entrance fees and adding free grub TO
the nags that participate. The free
for-all PAGERS that race up. that way
are as classy as anywhere, and to
their ranks is added one of the best
of the Grand Circuit herd, Sanardo,
l:59A, recently having gone from the
Murphy stable to that OF Pottle for
campaign in Maine. Sanardo has
raced we'll for some years, although
never favored with the luck that has
made others great The little son of
San Francisco will have to be right
up to snuff to dispose of the iron
ribbed hobblers he will meet on the
Maine half-mile ovals.
There is wholesome interest in the
coming of the champion Austro-H Hun
garian trotter, Baka, 2:0911, that is to
be member of Fred Edman's stable
and raced on the Grand Circuit this
year. Baka is son of Bohun, 2:18, by
Caid, 2:07A, his dam being Gava, 2:21,
by Gayton, 2:08A. He has the distinc-
tion of being the only 2:10 trotter bred
in Austria-Hungary to trot to a record
that fast in those countries, and he is
considered by American trainers who
have been racing there as far and away
the best one they have produced. Baka
has raced for three seasons with ex-
traordinary success. In 1919 he won
the Criterion, Derby trial and Derby,
seven times first and three times second
out of ten starts. He won eight
straights in 1920, and in the Great Fair
Prize at Vienna he trotted in 2:13, but
was beaten through his extreme handi-
cap by Niagara, which horse showed
only 2:15 speed.

Starting the New Season Right
Copyright, 1929, New York Tribune Inc

It is my belief that habit becomes
more firmly fixed and harder to break
in golf than in any other game.
This, I think, is due to the fact tha,
IN most other games your opponent
figures largely in what you do.
HIS style may affect your style, and
as there are different opponents with
different styles there are frequent
changes.
But in golf you play your. own game
without any outside interference. You
develop certain habits and they be.
come fixed. for you still go along play
ing your own game.
Unfortunately, not all the habits de.
veloped by all golfers are good ones.
There are many that must be changed
to bring about an improved game, and
as spring is coming in again now is
the time to begin planning these
changes.
Faults To Be Corrected
1t is no easy matter for most golfers
to correct faults, for the simple rea-
SON that under the spell of the game
while they are playing they frequently
forget what these faults are.
This applies to both star players and
poor players.
For example, know of at least three
fine amateur golfers who are frequently
beaten In tournaments by players not
near their class. Each one of these
has the same fault, that Of hurrying
the back swing and then hitting too
soon-especially under pressure. They
all know what the fault is, but they
forget about it in hard match.
Their one chance to get up where
they belong is to make a habit of do
ing the right swing-in their cases to
make habit of q much slower back
swing, slight pause at the top and
more deliberate start on the down
swing.
This new habit isn't going to be de-
veloped overnight. 1t will take time,
but it can be done if each one will only
make up his mind to think the matter
over as he reaches the first tee-and
then keep on thinking about it a~ he
plays around.
It would not be a bad idea for each
one to ask some member of the match
to watch his swing and call attention
to it's speed.
would suggest this spring that each
golfer when he starts out to play
START THE HABIT Of swinging back
evenly and steadily, and Of not trying
to hit too soon.
He should make habit of this even
in his practice swings, and should think
about it as he reaches each tee.
Once the habit is developed he will
then automatically swing at the right
rate of speed and it will no longer be
necessary to think Of this particular
detail of the swing.
From Last Year
Each golfer in the country must be
able to remember certain faults from
last year that he wished to correct
but somehow he didn't.
1t may have been that one Of these
faults was standing too far away from
the ball, falling into it with the weight
Too far forward.
Think Of this when you first start
put. Be sure that in addressing the
ball your weight is more upon the heels
than upon the toes--that the. ball IL

Miss Bauer's New Worlds Swim
Record a Great Achievement
Illinois Star Clips 6 3-5
Secs. From Own Mark
For l5O-Yd. Back Storke

Miss Sybil Bauer, of the Illinois A.
c., recently performed the greatest
feat in the history Of swimming for
women when she hung up a worlds
record Of l minute So 3-5 seconds for
LOO yards, back stroke, in the seventy
five-foot pool Of the Naval Station at
Great Lakes, Ill. Not only did she beat
by 3-5 seconds her own former record
for sixty-foot bath and by 3-5 Sec
onds Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey's for a
seventy-five-foot tank, but her time is
closer to the mems standard than any
mark for the same distance.
In free style swimming, for instance.
there is difference of % 2-5 seconds
between-the mems and women's iuterna-
tional figures for $50 yards, while at the
breast stroke the margin is 20 1-5 sec
onds. On the other hand, the mems
back stroke classic stands at ! minute
AZ seconds, so that Miss Bauer came
within IL 2-5 seconds of it, These
figures speak for themselves.

national champion and worlds record

from competition and will take part in

Club Of San Francisco. The news is
particularly pleasing, for experts be-
lieve LANCER has yet to attain the limit
OF his possibilities.
Edwin Morine, of Culver Military
Academy, Indianapolis, is credited with
plunging seventy-nine feet in sixtv
seconds at scholastic carnival in The

in May, when the bell rings, continuing
on the half-mie tracks until the big
line opens at North Randall. Ednan is
good trainer and holds his own as a
race driver.
Baka is the second horse bred abroad
to be brought here in recent years.
The other was the handsome stallion
Willy, 2:05, that Al Pennock had on
the circuit, winning number of races
and always being a contender, at least
in the early stages, for he could go
away like runner.
W. l.. Snow, who some years ago en-
joyed the distinction of being the best
handler of PAGERS in the business, now
combines the job of managing the races
at Endicott, N. Y, and training q
stable of eleven head at that splendid
half-mile oval. Snow won a lot of
stakes on the Michigan circuit and in
the East with Peter Pater (2:O7M) last
year and looks for this horse to be q
factor in. the fast classes. Little
Bondsman i2:08M), Moko Axworthy
(2:11A), Emulator (2:14A) and Mr..
Jiggs (2:19M) are other members of
the stable.
l. W. OF lnTee years ago Snow made
all of them take notice with Willing
ton, 2:04A. That PAGER went wrong
and was fred and laid away in 1921.
His legs now are fine, it is reported,
and as he showed ability to step in
2:02 on mile track, he is likely to
prove troublesome, as he is eligible to
the 2:14 classes.
w. S. Harlan Has Big Stable
The biggest stable south of Ken
lucky, excepting those that winter in
Georgia, is that of w. S. Harlan. of
Lockport, Ala. Mr.. Harlan has secured
barn at Lexington and will ship
twenty-one head there on April l in
charge of John Thomas, the Tennessee
reinsman. The star of the lot is Boga-
lusa, that took record of 2:O6N as q
two-yearold in 1920. He is said to be
back in form now, and if so should
figure in the 2:08 trots. Mainlick.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
Copyright. 1922. New York Tribune Inc.

Emerging from the mists and the
multitude of 1915, small, select group
stepped forward to be classed for the
first time as the Big Four Of Ameri-
can amateur golf.
These four were Francis Ouimet, of
Boston; Chick Evans and Robert A.
Gardner, of Chicago, and Jerome D.
Travers, of New York.
Seven years ago they were the top
liners along the right of way. But
seven years are long stretch upon
the competitive highway. The Big
Four has now changed to the Big Five,
and one of the old guard is no longer
rated that high.
1t is queer turn of things that the
first of the Big Four to drop out, and
the only one, was not only one of the
greatest match players of all time, but
he was also the leading collector of
golf crowns. We refer to Jerry Travers.
Up through 1915 he had won four
amateur championships and one open
title, record. no other American ANA
teur has ever reached.
But after 1915 Travers, through the
pressure of business, had but little
chance left for competitive golf, and
Travers had vacated.
Jones has never won big national
championship. But for all that he is
one Of the greatest amateurs in the
world, and having just reached twenty
has performed some of the most as
tonishing feats on record. In his last
three amateur championships he has
gone to the finals, the semi-6nal and
the last eight.
The Fifth Wheel
EARLY in the campaign of 1921 the
Big Four remained intact. They were
Evans, Ouimet, Jones and Gardner.
Why should they have been called
the Big Four? Partly through past
achievements in big tournaments and
partly because any one of them would
have been favored to beat any other
golfer in the country over the 36-hole
route.
Guilford's main feat at that time
had been to win the Massachusetts
open the year before from field of
fine professionals.
At Hoylake he gave Cyril Tolley a
rousing battle, losing only when Tolley
dropped two corking puts on she
sixteenth and seventeenth greens.
Guilford's next move was to become
amateur champion of Massachusetts,.
beating Ouimet in the final round
But his big splurge, of course, came
when he ploughed his way through a
rough sector at st. Louis, crushing
Chick Evans and Bob Gardner in turn,
being 6 up on one and z up on the
other.
As Guilford has been playing fine
golf since 1914, the brilliant climax
of his eight years march deserves high
ranking with the elect.
The Campaign Ahead
Now we are upon the spring-tinted
edge of new campaign, with the Big
Five facing competition that is more
than formidable.
Boston, Chicago and Atlanta are the
main centers of American skill. These
leaders face one of the busiest cam
paigns Of all time, what with the grow
ing skill here at home and threaten
ing gestures from abroad, with the
pick Of British talent contemplating

c!ose enough so you can hit it with the
right elbow in fairly close to the BODY
one OF the main causes Of heeline or
sllc!ng is standing too far away and
SO being forced to fall into the ball
on the down swing.
Nearly every time you do this YOU
VIII catch the ball up in the heel of
your club.
You don't want to stand so close that
your swing ls cramDed, but most of the
1n!Stakes are made the other way.
You have much more control over

you are not beginning to lean forward,

Other Corrections
Putting. more than any other part
OF golf, is matter Of habit-of the
right habit or the wrong habit.
Jesse Guilford, amateur champion. has
made a habit of keeping his body still
and still body means a still head
w1th the result that he is one of the
best of all putters.
hagen in some way last spring got
in the habit of moving his body lust a
triHe before hitting the ball.
The result was that erratic nuttine
spoiled the rest of his wonderful game
until he corrected this fault right after
the open championship. He has been
almost unbeatable ever since. back
where he belongs.
would suggest the following habits
to be started as the new season opens:
4. The habit Of not gripping too
tightly, especially with the rirht hand.
2. The habit of starting the bacL
swing evenly and steadily without anv
hurry-and of not being in too great
hurry to hit the ball.
3. To make habit of standing the
right distance from the ball, instead
OF merely guessing each time you make
q stroke.

stu while putting, and also the
HIT OF GIVING EACH PUTT A

OF hitting, your puts firmly. Don't

as most golfers do, it will probably
stick to you all through the season. It
Is hard to start back into an old fault,
get it going again and then make your

to START right and then try to continue
the habit Of keeping right. / am re-
ferring here to the simpler parts Of
the swing. For they cause as many
missed shots as the more complicated
ones referring to pivoting and shoulder
work.
Don't think about these things once
and then forget all aho,. them at the
next start. Check over the good habits
you are working on and give them
thought all around the course. II won't
be long before they will then take rs,,d
