CARDS-BROWNS
SHOW STRENGTH
TOEACH OTHER
Preseason Games Are Not Good
for Baseball, Some Fans
Are COntending.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus)
New York, April 5.-Among base
ball men there is a disposition to
regret that the two ST. Louis clubs
undertook to match their strength
in spring games before the be-
ginning of the season. Honors are
about even between them judging
by the scores and long range
stories of what they did. All of
which confirms what every one be-
lieved and what no one wished TO
see demonstrated until the season
was actually on.
Those who like the sport of the
game and are not overwhelmingly
enthusiastic about these preseason
meanderings had wished to see
both Cardinals and Browns start
the season by jumping into their
rivals and betting them right and
left without disclosing their ap-
proxlmate strength as compared to
each other.
Now that dream is gone From
the standpoint of sight and unseen
craftsmanship it would be much
better if there were never any pre-
season major league games be-
tween clubs of the major leagues.
Let them play the other fellows
all they wish and let the fans do
the guessing about their compare
tive strength. Not infreQuentIy a
fairly good line has been had on
championship possibilities through
the spring games. After some of
the exhibitions of 1921 it was Ger
tain that some clubs never would
be in the race. Maybe their own
ers figured they never would be
anyhow and so might as we'll go
forth and gather all they could
while the berries were on the
bushes.
Golf Question Up.
The subject of golf and baseball
is forcing its way to the front once
more in the major leagues. Some
managers always have been op-
posed to mingling the games. Glib
son of Pittsburgh has put his foot
down. Among other things that the
Pirates did in 1921 was to run to
instead of often enough to
the home plate. That and another
kind of mash worked havoc. ac-
cording to the stories of Pittsburgh
fans who lost their pennies on their
team.
Nothing official has come out of
the New York American league
club, but it is pretty well known
that the powers that be on the team
feel that the oil of golf doesn't mix
with the water of baseball. MAYS
is being criticised for playing golf
all the morning and trying to pitch
in the afternoon. It's not a new
story. It's the revival of the old
feud between driver and swatter.

1t may be said that professional
ism thrives in any sport wherein
constant application creates groups
of men who are far superior to
their fellows. 1t is SO in golf, in
baseball, and would be so IN foot
ball were those now engaged in
mercenary gridiron play to take
themselves seriously. But in ten
mis-, the boyhood CT the entire ma
ton begins to play as soon, so to
speak, as it can walk and con-
tinues at the game through school
days and college years in other
words, there would be no margin

golf teeth as we'll as a set for the
table? 1t will be tough on Mitchell
when he and Duncan come over
here this summer if he has to ex-
plain a defeat by saying he left his
golf teeth behind him at his hotel.
Speculation HIS already started
as to the makeup of the American
team which will meet the four Eng
lish golfers coming over this sum-
mer to play for the Walker trophy.
Some of the players are already be-
ginning to hone up their games in
the hope of getting a chance to
play. OF course it is easy enough
TO pick out four men who would be
worthy to meet the British team and
put Lne's fingers on them quickly.
But by the time the golf season is
well on there may be some decided
changes in standing. Even golf has
its opportunities for youngsters
whose game is just coming on.
Evans, Ouimet, Guilford and
Gardner would be a fine quartet to
stand up against the Britishers. But
it may be that by July there will be
four golfers who will be better. 1t
is a little early to do more than
think about but one would feel rea-
sonably safe if Americas chances
were left to those four with Bobby
Jones in reserve.
The date of the Gleneagles tour
nament over the Perthshire course
in Scotland this year is June 5 and
the prize money is a thousand
pounds. Last year all of the star
golfers were entered, including
some from the United States and it
is hoped that this year the entry
list will be equally good. The
British hope that there will be some
golfers over from the United States
although they would hate to see the
invaders walk off with the coin.
Great Britain is making over
lures to the United States for an
other international team match be-
tween the professionals and under
the present trend of affairs, with
so much being done to promote cor
dial international relations in sport,
it is very possible the United States
will be represented on the other
side of the Atlantic.

made.
The draft. the ''play off SERIES be-

IN vogue; acceptance OF players on

Continuing. he asked "ts there any

The playing OF in~ter-league series,
