Beaten By One stroke.
Bobby was well up in the hunt and
was playing with Jim Barnes and
they came In due course to No. .. in
the third round. This is the Long
Tom of the East Lake course and
at that time it was just SO yards in
length. Jones had played a par .
on the long hole preceding it and
had lost stroke to Barnes birdie 4

time that year was runner-up, and
somebody yelled fore" through

Evening star., 1923-12-02

He led the National League as
batsman, just as Spalding did as
pitcher. At Rockford, Ill, he
played third base, and then, in
1872, he joined the Philadelphia
Athletics. Over in England, when
base ball didn't quite take, the
Americans played cricket, and
Anson shone wonderfully.
In 1876, after the National
League was formed, Arson turned
to Chicago as first baseman, and
as manager of the club he was
instrumental in winning the cham
pionship in 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885
and 1886. For twenty-five years
at the bat his average always
stood over 800. In 1893 he moved
to New York and helped manage
the Giants awhile. But luck
seemed to desert him in his later
ventures, and after he died, April
ID, 1922, writers turned back to
his earlier glories on the dia-
mond. Only recently monument
was unveiled over his grave, and
Billy Sunday was on the program
to pay tribute to his captain. For
Billy Sunday was a great player
in his early years-a fry fielder

teated on the way Hunter, Jacob,
Alfonso and Colbert, and in the final
came within an ace of defeating
Tllden In straight sets, eventually

Loses Three OF $40 Matches.
During 1921. 1922 and 1928 Norton
played 1856 tournament matches in
England. losing but three of them
one each to Tilden, Johnston and
Anderson. This Is truly a remark
able record. one that has earned for
him world wide fame among followers
Of tennis.
Norton is frequently asked the
cause of his sudden rise in the tennis
world and his reply is always the
same. Il determined to overcome my
weakness" he says. In practice
games 1 never gave a thought to
winning, my idea being to so round
out my game that it would be in
vulnerable at every point. l did not
specialize on certain strokes but en-
deavored to become equally proficient
in all of them. ! gave up 'brilliance
with a higher trajectory that insured
the ball clearing the net" This
sounds as If Norton had developed a
pat-ball game, but such is not the
case, Tor at the same time ne man
aged to retain his speed of stroke
by learning to take the ball on the
rise.
Norton prefers the American twist
service, with a. big break to the back
hand, but he is diligently at work on
a sliced service to the forehand. He
goes out for all his smashes. but is
not yet sound in this particular. His
f1eetness of foot is one OF his great
est assets and he can retrieve al
most any ball and return II with
a powerful drive Off either hand.
He attributes this ability to an un-
usually stout pair of legs. IT am
overdeveloped in the legs" he says,
land perhaps it's a good thing for
my game" He depends upon his
back court game for winning the
majority OF his matches.
Steadiness Is Big Asset.
Norton has demonstrated that he
can outsteady the best British base
liners, but he can also volley with
exceptional ability when he feels so
inclined. / remember seeing him

Anson's immortality in base
ball, however, rests on the work
he did with his Chicago club of
1882. when he practically insti-
tuted inside base ball or team
play. Mike Kelly was one of his
boys. Inheld and outfield, with
Anson, became a part of the sci
ence of base ball. Through him

then with Arson and his team,

Who was Adrian c. Anson? He
was one of the. old-time sluggers
at the bat, but he was the first
sluggerswho slugged with pur-
pose other than hitting the ball.
He was the right fielder for the
Athletics. He was among those
who went abroad with Spalding
in 1874, when we made our first
attempt to interest our British
friends in our national game.
Anson's slugging did not con-

AUSTRIA HAS 8 ARMED FORCES
Outside of the Regulars, TWO lrreg-
ular Organizations Threaten
Trouble for the States.

Vienna.-Besides it's little standing
army of about 25,00O men and it's
state gendarmerie, Austria has two
other armed and organized forces
both irregular and both probably with
out the pale of the treaty. In the
opinion of many observers here the
two last mentioned organizations may
lead to trouble. They are the admit
tedly weli-armed labor battalions and
the growing "heimwehr" or conserv-
alive armed organizations of the
provinces.
This provincial body is composed
largely of the peasants and lesser
professional classes and ex-officers. and
is particularly strong in Syria and
the Tyrol. Just how and where the
arms, ammunition and equipment
were obtained is not known. The al
lied military control commission was
supposed to have stripped the coun-
try of military material, but the fact
remains that both these organizations
are fully equipped and number many
thousands. Recently the police found
In one of the "heimwehr" headQuar-
ters not only guns and loaded clubs,
but hand grenades and poison gases.
Incidents In Syria recently showed
the danger OF these factions. In one
case strikers captured and disarmed
gendarmes sent to subdue disturb
ances, whereupon the governor of the
province ordered out the local detach-
ments of the army. The army is
preponderantly socialist and sympa-
thetfc with the workers, but the sol
diers obeyed orders, subdued the trou-
blemakers and released the police
men. The explanation Is found in the
fact that the governor has assembled
1900 of his "heimwehr" and put them
behind the soldiery.
