The advantage gained by the
player in using the new greens will
be offset somewhat by the fact that
each green has been bunkeredl or

unscientihcally placed approach or
wild ball will surely give the player
lots OF trouble.
The first, fourth and ninth tees
have been moved back, lengthen-
ing the course about two hundred
yards. However. the par OF the
course has only been increased one
stroke; namely. from "a 10 S5. This
has bettered the play considerably
and has made the fourth and ninth
holes particularly two OF the best
and trickiest golf holes In this
section.

championship teams that they suffer
from overconfldence during the cary
stages Of the race.
have seen this condition crop out
a number Of times in the American
League with some club fortunate
enough TO have copped the world
series.
The Cincinnati Reds OF 1919 SO
suffered in 1920. The Reds had SO
decisively defeated the great club
representing the Chicago White SoS
that some OF the Reds undoubtedly
looked on the winning OF the 1920
remnant as a mere formality OF play
ing out the schedule.
Are They Too Sure?
Are the Giants affected with the
overconhdence maladyP It seems
so.
While the eastern clubs were play
ing among themselves this spring the
Giants ran rough-shod over Brook
lyn, Philadelphia and Boston. In
the first 20 games played with the
eastern rivals the Giants won 16 and
lost 4.
1t certainly looked as II they out
ciassed the field. McGraw's team
threatened to do a Norwich and sew
up the race by the Fourth Of July.
The other clubs in the National
League were yelling murder at the
pace the Giants were travelling. Even
the St. Louis Cardinals, picked to
make the going for them, were lost
in the shuttle.
Then the Giants hit the western
trail. It has been a sad, sad story
ever since McGraw's club departed
from the Polo Grounds.

A perusual of the American

There are two major league excep-
tions, the home-run title and the

runs.
No doubt some fans are OF the
opinion that opposing pitchers fin
ally have discovered a glaring weak
ness in Ruth's style of hitting, and
thereby have slowed up his home
run tactics.
Some simply think Ruth hasn't
struck his stride. They feel that his
long lay-off has dimmed his batting
eye.
As matter OF fact there are
several reasons why Ruth isn't
cracking out home runs in his Gus
tomary style.
Weak Spot Found?
There seems 20 be a general i'm
preston among the major league
players and baseball experts that a
weakness has been discovered in
Ruth's style. do not agree with
such belief.
This feeling dates back 70 the
world series with the Giants. It has

been strengthened by Ruth's failure
TO show 20 advantage at the bat
since he returned 10 the game.
In the world series between the
Giants and the Yankees, Manager
McGraw, Of the Giants, worked or
the theory that Ruth was weak or
low ball pitching. He accordingly
instructed his pitchers TO use thai
