BILLY EVANS
Says

IN baseball batters have their
slumps, which usually are impossi-
bic Of explanation.
In football teams trained TO the
minute for most important game
Immediately fall off in their play
after that game.
Champion boxers in a no-decision
bout often look like second-raters
IT, some contest in which their OPP
ponent IS a very ordinary fighter
1t is the same in golf, even the
very best Of the professionals and
amateurs are off their game occasi-
cnally. Very often in trying 70 dis
cover why their game is sa badly
off they press il and develop new
faults
Going golf stale IS a condition
that is very often overlooked when
some player slumps badly in his
game. lie is simply over-golfed and
doesn't realize 1t. often a rest of a
week or two at such a time will
Immediately restore d player TO his
old-time form.
Golfers Go Stale.
Golhng. however, gets such a hold
on lovers of the game that stale
ness is the very last thing a golfer
thinks about when his game goes
bad He tries 10 attribute It 70 any
number Of other faults He doesn't
want 10 admit he is golf stale, Simp-
~ because he gets so much enjoy
ment out Of playing the game.
All of which leads up to the ques-
ton as 10 what is the proper num-
Der of holes for a golfer to play IN
a day.
one often hears a player boast
how he has played 40 holes. Occas-
ionally you hear some one insist he
covered 81 holes However, il is
best 10 accept such a statement with
the belief that possibly the golfer
got a bit mixed on his count.
1 recall a player of considera BILE
ability who went south last winter
for a month and came back boast
ing that he had played Sc holes
every day while on his vacation. He
didn't brag about his score. how
ever, admitting that he was playing
a poorer game when he left the
south than when he started.
The best golfers seem agreed that
is holes is the ideal days play. OF.
ten a player goes out 10 his club
early in the morning 10 spend the
day He easily plays is holes in
the morning After a bit Of lunch
con and slight rest he IS usually
anxious for IS more holes OF COM
petition.
IL would be much better for the
golfers game Il instead OF eugag-
ing I'm competition he would do a
little practicing on the shots in
which he was deficient during the
mornings play
II is always possible 70 overdo a
good thing The golf glutton who
does As holes a day should draw
censure instead OF being compH-
mented Il is stupidity rather than
an achievement
In baseball. football and boxing
or golf a decided slump can more
often be traced 10 staleness than
any other cause.

WISEACRES BELIEVE
DEMPSEY WILL MEET
WILLS IN OLD j. S.
Failure of Contender to Fol
low Champion TO Europe
Assigned as Reason.

NEW YORK. April 8-The state
ment made 20 the writer yesterday
by Jack Dempsey. that Harry Wills
was not expected to follow him
abroad when he sails on the ACqui-
tania on Tuesday means one OF two
things.
Either Dempsey and Wills are con-
vinced that there IS not enough
money IN Europe TO make Il worth
their highly remunerative time, or
they have a definite assurance from
parties unknown that the bout can
and will be held in this country by
Labor Day.
The fact that Dempsey can speak
for a prominent challenger may ap-
pear singular on the face OF il. yet
it means nothing. The two rival
camps are something Of q close cor
pOration right now and quite under
stand each other. but they have no
understanding in the subtle sense
Of the word. They merely realize
that II is good business to know each
others intentions
The Dempsey Wills proposition is
mysterious right now.
No one, outside the close corpora
ton seems TO know why the Demp-
sey troupe is going TO England with
out definite assurances Of a match
there Dempsey told US yesterday
that they were just taking a
chance"
Knowing the astute Kearns. that
didn't seem 10 add up right. He viii
take a chance right enough, but not
before he sees some money on the
table IN view OF this. It can be as
sumed that they know something but
deem II advisable TO keep IT TO them
selves.
Long ago, when Harry Frazee
thrust his fingers into his watch
pocket and came up for air with
his absurd offer, Kearns informed
some OF his friends that he really
didn't care 10 talk about the match
at that early date. He made no Sc
cret Of the fact that he feared the
reformers would Go their worst
This attitude would account for his
bland lack Of knowledge now. II
might also count for the conference
yesterday with the eminent Mr.
Richard, il was only a friendly chat
they said, but there IS nothing in the
past life Of the gentlemen in CUES
ton TO indicate that they are in
clined 10 waste time with empty
amenities. They are sparring for
time. It is believed. with the idea of
springing the announcement of a
Dempsey Wills bout only when the
moment IS propitiOus.
That Is the judgment of Broad
way. and although that effete thor
oughfare is known for its moments
Of wild inaccuracies, It is often the
clearing house of real. downright
fact.

Booze Big Factor
In Pennant Chase
In Both Leagues
Many Clubs Have Recalcitrant
Players Who May Break
Over the Traces.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.
United State, staff COrreSDODdeuf

1nlbtTu SL<tUFc SIdU OOErt5 IBOnuGuLs
NEW YORK, April SIN a dry
country It sounds absurd 70 figure
booze as a factor IN the major league
pennant races. Despite Mr.. Volstead
and the law there Is enough hootch
around, however, TO trouble the
managers Of practically every club
on the big time.
The pennant chances OF four Of
the strongest teams In the majors
depends in a large part this season
on how the players conduct them
selves off the field.
Branch Hickey, who has lost two
thirsty players already IS frank
enough to admit that the entire
chances Of the St. Louis Cardinals
rest on the drinking factor.
John Barleycorn IS the most dan
gerous factor the Cardinals have az
a pennant contender In the National
league race" Branch hickey said
recently.
The Giants viii be I'D against the
same thing. perhaps in a less degree
and the Pirates who threw away the
pennant in 1921 with wild ways. will
have 10 reform this year or get the
same result.
