Billy Evans Says:

traded by Cleveland to. Washington,
prompts such question.
Evans came to the Cleveland club
as n third-baseman of great promise.
Very fast and the possessor of a fine
arm. he seemed TO have two very
necessary requisites for star third
sacker.
Playing third base for Cleveland,
Evans met with only fair success.
He was inclined to be erratic. One
day he would look like a second Bill
Bradley or Jimmy Collins, while the
next day he would be very ordinary.
Evans greatest fault was over
running ground balls. Because of
his great speed he would very often
come in too fast on ground balls.
often over-running them. and getting
himself all out of position for a
throw. This was particularly true
on bunts.
Evans was made over into an out
fielder. and mighty good one. II
is said his failure at third base never
set very well. His sale to Washing
ton. with the word of Clarke Griffith
that he viii be used at third, has
caused Evans TO change his mind
about retiring TO practice medicine.

very fast mantle same type cs
Evans. Frisch has been n big sue
cess as an infielder. Frisch fumbles
MANY of the ground balls that he
handles, often due to Over-running them
but his fine arm makes up for any
time lost in fumbles.
Joe Evans is convinced that he can
make good as an infielder. The sac
cess of frankie Frisch has satisfied
him on that point.

PLAN TO HAVE EAST
MEET WEST IN GOLF
MATCH INTERESTING
U.S.G.A. Sanctions Idea and
Row It's Up to the
InWood Club.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright. 1928, by The San Antonio Light
New York, Jan. 3O.-Now the .itua.
ton is up to the Inwood Country Club.
The executive committee of the United
Golf Association has sanctioned the
East VS.. West ,eam match which the
professional golfers association pro.
poses to arrange as a curtain ser to
the national open championship at In.
wood next summer.
The proposal is that some twenty
of the leading professionals in the east
and west sections of the country, ten
to a side, shall be matched and that
an admission shall be charged. Pro.
ceeds will go othe 7. G. A. benevolent
fund. The idea from a sporting stand
point is alluring. The match, if all
goes we'll, will be held the Saturday
preceding open championship week.
They arc going to award the varsity
letter at Northwestern to students who
make the golf team and play in the
important matches. The game has Just
been installed as a varsity sport and
a competent instructor added to the
staff of coacnes. Golf is an estab-
lished adjunct to the athletic system
of most of the big eastern universities
and great many of the small col.
leges. But as yet varsity insignia are
not given for proves in the sport.
They are much more progressive out
West. Varsity letters in the eastern
universities are not awarded for ten
mis- either. This, because tennis and
golf, while they call into action more
players than any other three sports
combined, are not major sports"
Rather curious, isn't it?

TILDEE'S GAME NOT
AT BEST BUT SLUMP
HARDLY PERMANENT
Camp Suspects Effect OF
Missing Finger Largely
Psychological.
BY WALTER CAMP

Copyright 1928. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. S0.-Speculation
still is rife today as TO the effect the
operation on his finger will have on
Tilden's game. Dean Mathey's defeat
of the tennis champion, Ga, "a, 81, at
the Brooklyn Heights Casino recently
heightened the discussion.
1t is true that Mathey was at his
very best. but it is equally true that
there was something missing in Tilden's
work. And yet there is no really sound
reason why Tilden should not play as
well as ever SO far as actual. manual
dexterity is concerned. In fact, there
is far less handicap than would come
to golfer, for the tennis stroke, even
at its best, is far less delicate thing
than n golf stroke.
A bad knee or a bad ankle would be
much more likely to lower Tilden's or
any other players class.
Probably the results of contests COM
ing so soon after Tilden's operation are
in great measure psychological, and.
as the champion gathers confidence, he
should come back to his best.
Penn. according to reports reaching
the writer today, is delighted with the
plans outlined by Lou Young, her new
football coach, Andy Smith, who has
made the University of CALIFORNIA; team
one of the most feared on the fridiron
map of the country, is coming on in
the spring to aid in the selecting and
pre-training work of his candidates
while Young is establishing a school
for quarterbacks. Young announces
that he is satisfied with PENIS system
of defense but not with her attack. He
says he proposes to go directly at this
phase of his work.
