Golfers, Too Early,
Spoil Greens For
Summer

Now is the time. of year
when golfers, overanxious to
get out on the links again, are
apt to cause hundreds of dol
lars damage. A days play on
the greens and fairways before
nature and a little sunshine
have had an opportunity to put
them in condition may cause
considerable delay and expense
in putting the course in early
midseason form.
Give the green's and fairways
fair start after the frost is
out of the ground and your
patience will be we'll rewarded
by the condition of the course
later on. Impatience is no vir-
tue when it thoughtlessly dam
ages a links that needs a little
more time before it is in play
able condition. Haste makes
waste.
The least that can be asked
by the greenkeeper is the CO.
operation of the members in
this respect, to say nothing of
the interests of your fellow
members.

WAR RISK GIRLS
WOULD MEET
HURRICANE
Manager Mills Declares Game
Must Be on a Neutral
Floor, However,.

Miss Mills, who guides the desti-
MES of the Capitals, girls basketball
team, champions of the District
since 1919, declares the Capitals are
not lodging a game with the Hurri-
canas or any other girls team. Miss
Mills is irate over the statement of
Manager QUAINT of the Hurricanes
that the Capitals are lodging the
issue with that fast aggregation.
I'VE demand a neutral and regula-
ton floor on which to defend our
title" said Miss Mills. "Mr. QUAINT
wanted us to play on the Coliseum
or on the Central Y M. G.. A. floors
We are willing to play either on the
Epiphany or Holton Arms floor. Mr.
QUAINT says that there are no ac-
commodations for a crowd around
either of these latter floors.
I'D like to say that the Capitals
are playing the game for the sport
and not for gate receipts.
1.-The, Hurricanes have been beaten
twice this season, while we have
been defeated once. If we win our
next start we will have a clear claim
to the title in spite of the Hurri-
canas. But we are willing to meet
them at any time they agree to a
NEUTRAL ISBuIdIIOl IlOOE. mat al
there is to that. They have the
choice of two floors in the District,
or of any other regulation floor they
can find aside from the Coliseum or
the Y. M. G. A. Seems to me we
should have the right to bar these
floors from consideration when we
are offering the Hurricanes every
chance of winning a title we al.
ready will have in our possession
when we meet them"

Would Import Haiti
2O-Cent-a-Day
CaddieS

Henry j. Brandon, president
of the new Coldstream Golf
Club, claims a perfect solution
of the caddy problem. Several
years ago Mr.. Brandon was a
member of golf club in Haiti,
where the caddies were natives
hired for 20 cents a day. It
was good thing for the cad
dies, inasmuch as they con-
tracted with other natives to do
the work for 5 cents a day,
leaving them a financial profit
of 10 cents.
Mr.. Brandon's idea for the
Coldstream Club is that the
club charter a boat, sail for
Haiti, and come back with
boatload of 20-cent caddies. To
date the only difficulty would
seem to be in catching the cad
dies and putting shoes on their
feet. According to present mar
ket quotations, a 20-cent caddy
would sell on the hoof for $40
a year. "Own Your Own
Caddy" may be the slogan Of
the new club.

wen, sir, I've just ABOUT OoclQeu
to follow out the combined ideas
of Bullet Joe" Bush, Bobby Gilks
and myself Bush is one of the
smartest pitchers in the game and
Gilks is one of the best scouts in
the country. He's dug up some
mighty good ball players in the
Cleveland. Among them Urban
Shocker, Joe Jackon, Aaron Ward.
Davey Bancroft, Ray Chapman and
q lot of others.
He can come pretty close to tell
Ing any ball player how to improve
his hitting, and he and Bush agree
that ought to shorten the grip
of my bat every time see a slow
ball coming to the plate, and then
pump it into left field.
At first 1 objected to this idea
because it would cut down the
number of home runs / might
make, but ] have been testing
the motion and I'm just about
convinced Bush and Gilks are
right.
Here's the way Gilks argues:
He says that by getting lot of
singles and doubles in left field
I'll boost my batting average up to
around 400 and then force the
pitchers to pitch differently to- me
than they. generally do. From this
point. on Gilks says the going ought
to be easy. Having forced the
pitchers to pitch differently can
get more home runs and If they
go back to the slow balls l can
shift with them.
In other words, he says, have
an ace in the hole. But he goes
even further. He says I can hit
home runs into left field with a
choked grip on my bat, and I've
been surprised at the success I've
been having in this respect down
here. I have socked q few homers
to left, and in batting practice
have been smacking a lot Of dinky
line drives through short.
So il looks to me like GilkS and
Bush have the right idea, and I'm
for trying out any idea that will
help me. 49, -
A funny thing about it Is that
I've got a lot of letters from fans
All over the country who have
Just about the same idea. Say,
these managers" up IN the grand
stand know q lot more about the
technique Of the game than the
average ball player is willing to
give them credit for. y
Sometimes I feel there's something
of a conspiracy against me. No
pitcher likes to be hit for a, homer,
and the result is that they all work
harder on me than they do On any
other hitter in our league. OF
course, 1T isn't exactly a conspiracy,
but you know what I mean. They
an Just do everything they can to
strike me out or keep me from
busting the ball out of the lot; but
maybe what they try to do this
coming season won't make much
difference. It didn't two years ago,
and If this theory of Gilks and Bush
