Bobby Jones One of
Youngest to Gain
Fame at Golf.
F you talk to great trainers,

+ you talk to great trainers,
coaches and other men who are
concerned in the development
of athletes they will tell you that, as
a rule, early association with a
great sport does not necessarily
imply that boy will be champion.
There are exceptions, Of course.
Among them is Gerald Paterson Of
Australia, who had his first intro
ductlon to tennis as ball boy for
Fred Alexander and Norman
Brookes, and Gene Sarazen and
Ouimet, originally caddies.
There are other exceptions, too. but
by and large. as sailors say. cham
pions in the various sports have been
specializing either as bat boys in the
big league parks, ball boys In ten.

boxers and the like. But whatever
the history of our leading exponents
or great sports, there Is not one
whose case compares to that OF Bob

Tech and now of Harvard University.
sprnng Into Prominence.
Jones sprang upon the links like
Minerva from the head Of Jove. fully
armed, or rather. equipped for golf
He was fourteen years old when he
came into national prominence, the
sensation of the world. There were
those who predicted that by the time
he was twenty he would be an out
standing player, a national champion
SO high above all the rest that NO
one could touch him. Well, Jones is
past twenty and he has yet to win
his national championship.
At Brookline last year where he
played superb golf only to be nosed
out by the marvellous golf OF Jess
Swee.ser. four under even fours for
the full extent of the match. Time
after time Jones has swung into
championships with what ordinarily
would be unbeatable golf only to
have some rival put through days of
miracle play. Is there some fate
camping upon his trail?
Bobby may think SO; for witness
his remark at the end OF the extra
ordinary tourney at Brookline last
September: II guess it's not for me
ever to win a national championship"
OF course he will win one eventual
~. man who can play golf as
Jones plays it cannot fail to como
through eventually. AS stylist he
is second to no player in the world.
Gene Sarazen owns to great help

of his physician Tor Tear OF possible
complications in the event that he
caught a cold. Holringsworth has
a method of throwing that Is but
seldom seen. He pitches from dead
overhead, with a sweeping motion
involving little or no bending of the
arm at the elbow. Old timers in
camp here liken his actions to those
of Vic Willis, an accomplished box
man in his day, but they assert
pitchers of this type seldom last
long in the game.
Yarmouth is making fine progress
toward real pitching form. He is
one of the most faithful trainers in
camp. and probably will be among
the earliest 10 get box duty wher
the exhibitions start. The burly left
handler knows how to pitch. This
was established to the satisfaction
of everybody concerned when he was
with the Nationals in the fag end
question of whether he possesses
stuff enough to fool big league bats
men consistently.
Bush Proves He In Right.
Manager Bush's contention that
one practice day is the best policy
for spring training is being substan-
tiated by results attained thus far,
for, with the exceptions noted above,
satisfactory progress is being made
by all hands. There has been a scar
city of pitchers for batting practice,
with Schacht, Brillheart, Hankins,
Zachary, Yarmouth and Russell carry
ing the brunt of the burden, but
Coaches Gibson and -Altrock are help
ing out daily, and the wand weavers
are getting all the work they need
to sharpen their optics.
Indications are that more atten-
ton Will be paid to bunting this year
than has been the case In recent
seasons. Bush himself is adept at
the business and believes every man
in the lineup, including the pitchers,
should be capable Of advancing a
runner when the situation calls for
sacrifice. DOME has spent much
time instructing tho newcomers in
the proper method for, holding a bat

Of course, considered certain of classifi-
cation as regulars, with Russell definite
ly cast for relief roles, while Yarmouth
and Hollingsworth unquestionably are
several jumps ahead of the others in the
race for recognition. This leaves Nc,
Grew, Beach and Hankins from whom
a pair of goats must be picked, with the
last named having the best chance to
stick, from present indications.
The Tampa boy, fashioned physically
like old Bob Groom, although not nearly
so tall, has barrel of speed and a
sharp wide hook, but how he will shape
up in the matter of control and holding
runners on the bases remains to be
seen. He cannot be greener in this re
spect than McGrew proved to be last
season. however. The slim one, like
Hankins, is well equipped with natural
talents, his enormous height giving him
a great advantage over his less gener-
ously endowed mates. but the Texan
this spring has poor health added to in
experience as a barrier to his progress.
and 1t may prove too severe a handicap
McGrew was not fully recovered
from an attack OF influenza, which
for a time threatened to develop
into pneumoniar when he boarded q
ating SO slowly that 1t may be many
weeks before he fully regains his
strength. This would initiate great
ly against his chances for staying
on the pay roll.
Beach's Arm II AflfnE.
F.. Like McGrew, Beach also Is unable
to keep pace with the others in con-
ditioning, but from a different cause.
The Paducah prodigy, who displayed
pitching motion that was grace
itself before he pulled up lame, has
had little success in working the
soreness out Of his wing, and unless
1t rounds into shape in short order
he may be left at the post in the
scramble for a job.

The sale Of the Boston club would
not necessarily be followed by d
change In management. Chance Is
too good an asset for the moment 10
be dropped by the American League.
Some say empha tically that il was the
engagement of Chance which brought
about the Shake-up ia the Boston Ma
tional League club by which Mathew
son succeeded George W Grant us
president.
OldheId Mentioned Now.
1t has been asserted in California
that Barney Oldneld is anxious TO
get into base ball, and az the former
automobile race driver is warm
friend of Chance two and two have
been put together to link OIdfield and
Chance as partners in the acquisition
OF the Boston club. The question Is
whether they would put up the re-
Quired amount OF cold cash to get
that city would accord more respect
10 that combination than Il has to
other outside owners.
1t is agreed that Frazee has, so
thoroughly cleaned the club Of cham
pionship material that he has lost
ali his hold on the Boston public.
The older element in Boston is per-
haps better versed in real skilled
base ball than the fans of any city
In the country.
The ludicroUs end of the situation
is that Chance was said to have been
showed into Boston TO build up senti-
ment for the Americans and that
Mathewson was sent there as a coun-
ter play to raise sentiment for the
Nationals. Perhaps both will be hard
put to 1t to build up teams which will
be what Boston wants.
The signing of McInnis by Boston
was not a surprise. The deal was on
before Grant was out as head of the
Braves. McInnis had enough other
offers to enable him to make terms
with the Braves and he got a two
year contract because he was wanted.
