Distance. in Missed
Puts .Minimiized
By Gallery

When a prominent golfer,
amateur or professional, hap
pens to miss a putt that would
have won for him at match play
or left him leading the field at
medal play the length of the
putt is always minimized be-
yond recognition.
William Mehlhorn, who was
reported to have missed a very
short putt to beat out Walter
Hagen in the play-off for the
tie at San Antonio, said re-
Gently that the putt was miss
able, as it was fully four feet
long, if not more.
Some said it was less than
two feet. He also was report
ed to have missed a wee one
to settle matters after seventy
two holes; but that also, ac-
cording to Mehlhorn, was FIVE
feet long instead of two.

President Clark Griffith was of
the opinion this morning that to-
days exhibition game between the
Braves and Griffmen scheduled for
Richmond, Va, would be postponed
on account of rain and that the
transforming teams would come
right on through to Washington in
stead of stopping off at Richmond.
At noon Griff had not heard from
Manager DOME Bush, but after
consulting the weather chart was
about sure what would happen.
This would put the tourists in
Washington about $50 tonight.
Tomorrow's opening exhibition
contest between the Braves and
Griffmen will start at $3.50 o'clock
as will all of the games played this
summer in Washington. Sundays
will be no exceptions 10 this rule.
Walter Johnson will start tomor-
rows game and Hollingsworth will
begin Sundays contest. Mogridge
also is expected to get into one of
these games as relief hurler.
Canvas tarpaulins have been laid
on the infield and portions Of the
outfield ever since the rain of the
last twelve hours started and the
grounds are expected to be in good
playing condition tomorrow.

The Yanks, however. haven't the
slightest intention of parting with
any member of their all-star pitch
ing staff-namely, Bush, Jones,
Mays, Hoyt, Shawkey and Pennock,
and therefore the deal has hung fire.
But in the present emergency they
must do something, and this proba-
bly, will consist of counter propo-
sition, whereby the Yankees will

In fact, the issue seems to have
narrowed down to a temporary
question of Ruth shortening his
swing or going hitless. On several
occasions during his travels through
the South he has "choked'' his bat
and the response has been two and
three hits per occasion. Every time
he has essayed the old free and
easy. however,, the result has been
an uncommonly empty zero.
There was. for example, the
notable occasion at Tulsa some days
ago when the eutfield fences were
so close that one could count the
knotholes from the grandstand.
Ruth trained a debOnnair eye
on these inviting barriers and
proceeded to strike out four times
i'm as many tries. Meantime, such
Iusty hitters as Everett Scott,
Herb PennOck, Joe Bush and
other Yanks are hitting hOmers
with careless abandon.
Three of the strike-outs registered
at Tulsa fell to the credit of one
Schneider. a young pitcher who has
famed Ruth six out of seven times
during the current series. 1t, there
fore, seems to be all for the best
that Schneider is not an American
Lacquer. Two Hub Pruetts in the

hitter a shooting pain in the collar
button.

CARMEN LOSES CHARM
Nagabond Artists Finding Very Little Sympathy in California City as it is Becoming Civilized.

Carmel-by -the-Sea, Cal, Dec. 21.-- This little city is becoming too civil ized for the yagabond artist.
 Time was when wandering and inn pecunious writers, painters, seulptors, playwrights, actors and others of the gentry found Carmel a haven of prac- tical sympathy. The community took them to it's heart and, when they de- parted, tore up their l. o. us and forgot. Carmel was proud of this tramp talent.
 Rents were low then. 1t was even possible for a promising youngster to get shack for nothing, and he could count on Mining out at least three times week. He could stay in bed the rest of the time, if necessary. A sixty-day credit with the grocer was common.
 But no more. Evil days have come. Taxes and the cost of living have been growing by bounds. First came elec- tric lights and telephones, and the migratory Bohemians stood for that. But when, recently, the city trustees decided that Carmel needed a sewer ssstehi, anu ieNlSu aSSeSsiiSlltS seG- cordingly, it was too much for them. Those here began to drift southward to some kindlier cline and, the word going out that Carmel was not what il used to be, others quit coming.
 There are still numerous writers, painters and musicians living here, but most of them are wealthy, or at least well to do and willing to pay tor the upkeep of a modern city.
