"You know every fighter knows

Of my enjoyable talk, with him to
get his opinion of golf as a sport
I was more than pleased to find
that he considered 1t one of the
best Of games and one of the rea
sons that he liked it was because
he believed that it developed the
normal nature.
He believes that it makes for
self control and clean living, and
he particularly instanced the fact
that a man must learn to control
the ball and not allow the ball to
control him. Therefore, he be-
lieved that young men should be
encouraged to play for both moral
and physical reasons.
To his way of thinking golf
stimulates the imagination and
clears the brain. Then, too, he
thinks there is something in the
EleaIthfuI cleanliness OF the great
Out-of-dOOI-s that encourages moral
cleanliness as well.
He also spoke of the absolute
absorption of the golfer in his
game and said he considered it
q wonderful thing.

stI1e Browns to have another great
year. That birds "a pitcher one of
the greatest in years. He has the
stuff, Is one OF the few remaining
spit baIIers iii the big show, and

Herman Pillett, Detroit's young

ought Pruitt, Of the Browns, the
fellow who made me mighty I'M
comfortable for a spell last year.

class that Pillett has. Robertson
who pitched q perfect HO.Eit game
for the White SOx, is fairly good,
too. but everything considered
don't think he measures up to
PiIlett, either.
When everything is said and
when everything is done at the
end Of the season imagine my
own teams pitching will be just
about the last word. Joe Bush had
his best year last season and seems
to be just as good just now. Bob
Sl1awkey is as smart and as game
pitcher as you'll ever see, and
he, too. is in great shape. Carl
Mays ought to have a few fine
years of first rate pitching left in
him, and like all Of our pitchers
lIhe,s in a wonderful condition.

season / have q hunch it's going to
be a lot different. He did some re-

He has the stuff. He knows
how to pitch, and there are few
unpires in our league who think
he will win more games than any
other pitcher if he. goes as well

Waite Hoyte. OF course, ought to
get better and better. He's stilI
a kid, has lot of natural stuff, a
| great physique and is game. He

perience, and he got it last year.
Herb Pennock,. our other pitcher,

the game, and with the Yanks
behind him I lookssto him to do
what Joe Bush did last year.
Red Faber OF the White Sox
will be something of a mystery for
