BRAVES MUST KEEP
SCORE IN THEIR HEADS

Fred Mitchell had some playing
system of his own. depending on how
many might be out. One day the
boy who kept the score board hung
up two outs, where there was really
but one out. Mitchell went by his
own score card, not the board. He
put on a play based on one out: two
players were involved and they got
in a Jam.
Coming to the bench there was q
demand for explanation. "The score
board said two out and we played
1t according to the signal with two
out" was the alibi.
Many strong words from Mitchell,
and now a player on the Boston Ma
tional League team who goes by the
score board boys figures and doesn't
know whether or not these figures
are right is liable to session in the
hoosegow.

II is evident in order to kill the

hands a good deal in front Of the hall
at the moment he hits Il.
1t In equally evident that, in hitting
ball with an overhanging face,
one cannot possibly avoid hitting 1t
above the center.
This Is what Barnes does, and he
actually gets lot Of topspin on his
putt. Anyone with a rudimentary
knowledge of mechanics would
naturally be inclined TO ssy that one
cannot possibly have topspin on a
putt because the distance travelled
must be Of a definite proportion to
the number Of revolutions and that
and forward spinning movement
would infallibly be converted into

The amazing answer Is that he
does not get It from his club, but
from the green. He comes down
on the upper rear half OF his hall
slightly above the center and
pinches the ball onto the turf 70
that II Is actually pinehed or
squeezed downward onto the green.
As the face OF the putter Is over
hanging the ball the natural result
is to squeeze the ball out from be-

club and the turf.

thing he attributed the fine showing

THE work of Shortstop Risney

race" said Mack.

Some idea of Bassler's great value

The committees problem deals
only with the practicability OF either

2--The disinc. .ination of the com.

The answer to this Is that the
