know that the funny man of base
BALI, was a regular visitor.
The Altrock who cuts up and capers
like a clown out at the Georgia ave-
nue. ball grounds is an entirely differ
ent person when, garbed in the con-
ventional costume of the greensward
game, he perches his ball on a pat of
sand preparatory to sending it on
long ride down the first fairway.
Nick" takes golf seriously and
plays the game for all there is in 1t.
True, he may crack one of his famous
jokes or temporarily entertain the
other players with some of his clever
quirks or drolleries. Not long, how
ever, do the jest and smile distract
his attention from the game at hand.
When Mick" plays his golf shots
frown of concentration replaces his
customary jovial grin. He hits the
ball true and he hits it hard. He
makes every shot count and generally
plays a game worth watching.
Two years ago at the Rocky Point
Golf Club, near Tampa, Fla, Nicholas
Altrock was formally introduced to

bright, warm Sunday morning in late
February that friend, after great
argument and persuasive effort, fin
ally lured Mick" out onto the golf
course. The pair played eighteen
holes, and when the last bit of turf
had been replaced and Nick" had
holed his final putt--it was his fourth
attempt, by the way-the score card
showed that the man who put comedy
in the diamond sport had negotiated
the long and difficult course In ex-
actly 142 strokes, which was not so
bad. considering it was his initial
effort.

of the game" Mick" recently said.
II admitted that 1t was harder and
more complicated than / thought, but
1t did not compare with base ball, in
my estimation.

and tried the game again, to kill time

classics of the annual golfing calen
dar in the land of the Potomac.
COMEHOW or somewhere there must
- be a certain correlation and simis
larity between the manner in which
base ball player steps into and
slugs a base ball to the far corners
of the lot as it speeds over the plate
and the way in which the golfer
swings. pivots and gets his body and
weight into a long drive. The proof
of the pudding rests in the fact that
most big league base ballers who take
up golf soon develop into prodigious
performers with the wooden clubs.

ging out the three and four ply base
ball excursions for which they, re-
spectively, are famous.
By divers practical panaceas the
bush-league and sand-lot ball player
is taught how to stand up to the
plate and step into the ball-if such
instruction is necessary-when he
graduates into the major association.
Such emergency measures as placing
a big block of wood against his left
foot, If he be right-handed batter,
to keep him from "spiking away"
from the plate when a sharp curve
is shot at him, are resorted to. Some
times rope is tied around the right
handed batter's left ankle. II he
begins to step away from the plate
the coach pulls the rope and holds
his foot in place. All this training
is effective in getting the players to
stand up to the ball and to pivot at
their hips. The chances are that this
instruction is also beneficial to their
golf game.

chased at the ordinary sporting goods
store"
Mick" never lacks for company at
golf on days when the Washington
base ball professionals are idle. On
the 'off days" the players can journey
to the links if they desire and try to
scalp old man par.
Sam Rice is the champion south
paw golfer Of Clark Grifith's crew.
For a golfer who shoots from the
port side Rice is better than aver
age player. He hits long ball and
is accurate with both iron and
wooden clubs. He has been playing
the game only a little more than year
and does not get much opportunity
for practice.
Walter johnson whangs a golf ball
with the same substantial and pun
ishing cIout that he has used so
effectively in winning many ball
games for the Nationals and in main
tanning a high batting average for a
pitcher. Johnson does not play much
golf. but with practice he would
easily develop into an exceptionally
fine player.

star of the Capital City big leaguers"

The goddess Golf is, without ques-
tion, the peerless vamp of the mod
ern "Circes." For IL surely takes a
matchless game to convert an enemy
into a friend-whfch golf has done
in the case of Nicholas Altrock. who
made his first bid for athletic fame
as an outstanding star OF one of those
famouse base ball mines that no one
but Charles Comiskey of Chicago
could turn out about a decade and a
half ago.
Albeit. golf angled after Nick for
many moon before the venera BILE
sport OF the ancient Romans and
Scots landed the base ball veteran.
Like many before him and like
many who will come after. Nick
scoffed at golf as "croquet's counter
part" and cow pasture pool" only
to surrender to the game the more
completely after experiencing that in
describable thrill that comes only
with ball hit sweetly and cleanly
from the tee and driven several hun
dred yards down the fairway.
1t takes a mighty enthusiastic
golfer to roll out OF comfortable bed
morning after morning while 1t is
still murky overhead and moist un-
der foot in order to hurry down to
the public course and play a round
of pre-breakfast golf. That is the
kind of a golf enthusiast Altrock Is.
Not infrequently Nick even beats chan
ticleer to the golf links.

down East Potomac Park way, for

and went in for conservative athletics
