opponents saved every hing they had
for the matches with him. They gave
him both barrels every time. For
Bobby every match was final.
Worked New Experiment.
This year Mr.. Jones senior, decided
that if Bobbie didn't win the big title
in the open he'd never win it as he
is soon going to be busy making q
name for himself in the practice of
law. He went through Georgia Tech
in three years and is now taking a
postgraduate law course at Harvard.
So, as an experiment in changing
Bobby's luck Mr.. Jon's for the first
time stayed at home when the young
ster was competing for the title at
Inwood.
1t worked.
,szFor the first time Fate Jailed to
stymie the cleverest g'lfe' in Amer
lea. Even when Bobby slipped and
took a six for the list hole of the
fjnal, round, tying 18th his nearest
rival, who shot a birdie three there,
the old jinx couldn't quite put one
over. In the play-off all even at the
seventeenth, Bobby shot a birdie
three himself on that last hole and
won the championship, his first win
in national event.
So Mr.. Jones says he'll forego the
pleasure of seeing Bobby try for the
amateur championship, and stay home
again-The early Christian martyrs
had nothing on him. Probably he'd
give his left arm TO see the young
ster come galloping home with the
cup.
Francis Ouimet is making another
fresh start this gear, and may come
out at the front, or very near it.
When on his game the Brookline play
err is hard TO beat.
As for he rest of the contenders
for the amateur title. one can tell
when a youngster may come up and
beat all the favorites, but chances are
they'll simply form the background
of the picture for the four individuals
already mentioned.

BILLY EVANS SAYS

1t is doubtful il any other catcher
in the history of major or minor league
ball can boast of the record that Catch
er Ray Schalk of the Chicago White
Sox has achieved. Schalk. a, men,
Der of the White Sox. has made put
out at every base on the infield. That
is most unusual for catcher.
Usually a catcher confines his work
TO the home plate. His putouts come
as the result of strikeOuts, caught fly
balls or touching runners trying to
score. How did. Schalk turn the trick
of completing plays at first, second and
third? The best way is to let Schalk
tell the story himself.
Several years ago We were playing
a game in Cleveland. Eddie Murphy
was in right field for us. Jameson
of Cleveland was at bat. Jameson
being a left-handed batter. our first
baseman wa playing rather deep for
him. Jameson hit hard into right

SEWELL HAVING BEST
Z SEASON IN A SHORT
CAREER IN MAJORS
Work This Year Places Him
Among the Stars Of
the Season.

Cleveland. Sept. Some hardly can
overlook Joey Sewell when compiling
list of the stars in baseball for 1929.
The former Alabama University
player, bes:des putting up a stellar
game afies1, has been smacking tie
old apple.
At present he is not far removed
from the swatting leaders. Unless
he hits bad slump, he's almost GER
tain to finish well above the $50
mark. A pretty good average in any
league.
This is Sewell's fourth season IA
the majors, though in reality he has
been in only two complete campaigns.
joey came to the Indians in August
of 1920, almost directly from the col
lege campus. Obviously the jump was
big one but at that it was no bigger
than the job he was asked to fill.
Cleveland then was sorely in need
of shortstop. end a good one if the
vacancy was TO be filled as capably
as it had been for years past
Ray Chapman, the hub Of the
Cleveland infield, not long before
had met tragic death. The Indians,
in the thick Of the pennant fight, re-
quired chap who could jump into
Rays boots without too much Of a
rattle.
To joey Sewell went that tough
assignment. But Sewell, gree.
inexperienced youngster, surprised
even his admirers.
Cleveland won the pennant that
season-the only flag it ever COPIED.
Now young joey Sewell may not
have been the man of the hour in
that case, but he at least did his bit
for the cause.
Since then. the ex-collegian has
come to the front rapidly until now
be ranks well up in the list of the
best in the shortstop field, while at
bat he tops them all.
Sewell's all-around work this sea
son has without a doubt been one of
the features of the American League
campaign.
Lacking in the spectacular and
minus that individual brilliancy
other players in the big show pos
sess. Sewell's work does not come in
for the amount of praise it deserves.
Nevertheless. he's playing a nifty ar
tIcle of ball, and is proving most
valuable asset to the Speaker entour-
age.

BIG LEAGUE HURLERS
ARE NOT DEVELOPED
IN A SEASON OR so
Usually Takes Years to
Make Pitchers Really
Valuable.
BY BILLY EVANS.

Usually it takes about three years
before a pitcher becomes really valu-
able to a major league club.
Most "bushers" coming to the big
show have any number of faults that
must be corrected before they can be
said to have acquired a big league pol
ish.
Pitchers like Pete Donahue-whO
came direct from a sn. | college and
made good in his first time out-are
the decided exception TO the rule.
Nine out of every ten recruit pitch
ers need seasoning. which can only be
acquired through experience. Some OF
it comes through contact with the older
pitchers and catchers, who offer much
advice. Opportunities to pitch a few
innings here and there also help great
ly.
McGraw labored a long time with
'Rube" Marquard before he became a
valuable asset to the Giants. a more
impatient manager would have used
snap judgment, which would have
meant a trip back to the minors for
Vanguard, who got away very badly in
the majors.
For five or six years Connie Mack
experimental with Rollie Naylor.
When Naylor won eight of his first
nine starts this year it was apparent
that Mack's patience and efforts had
been rewarded.
Every major league manager of to-
day finds pitching his biggest trouble.
Invariably the highly-tOuted minor
league recruits, picked TO step right
in and deliver, prove lacking in certain
things that keep them from landing
