HARDWOOD HAS
SYSTEM FOR
ACCURACY
Six Drives Miss Photograph
er's Head by Less Than
Two Feet.

All kinds of methods have been
utilized to teach the art Of making
proper golf swings. Miles of written
matter have been assembled on the
subject, while tips to buffers have
been given on photograph records
and ILLUSTRATED lectures. Joe Kirk
wood, master of trick shots, has hit
on a very instructive method Of
visiting clubs and giving personal
demonstrations Of the accurate and
inaccurate systems for making va
rious strokes.
Joe was recently at the Century
Club, the highly interested club
members grouping around the first
fairway while the former Australian
champion gave his exhibition. Kirk,
wood brought forth ordinations
from the startled spectators when
he started aiming his drives at a
camera man stationed ITO yards
away and the balls whizzed only
inches by the surprised targets
head. Kirkwood's control was so
perfect that in six drives the balls
didn't vary two feet as they sailed
past the objective.
Another new Kirkwood stunt is
to have an attendant suspend a
golf ball gummed to a string which
he will hit while 1t bangles in mid.
air without miss and for a dis.
lance sometimes over 200 yards.

BUCK ON RING
FOULS
Commissions and Judges
CurtaiI Boxing Arbiters'
Courage.

With the advent of commissions
and judges to assist in making de-
cisions in boxing bouts, the referee
seems to have lost lot of his
former power and also his nerve.
Frequently where fouls are com.
mitted in the ring the referee, not
desiring to put himself in bad with
the boxers or fans, falls back OH
the commission doctor for protec-
ton.
Instead of giving a decision the
arbiter says he did not see the
foul, when claim is made, and
asks the doctor to determine
whether or not one was com
mttted.
The rules Of boxing say that tho
referee shall decide any question
that may arise in the course of the
contest; that he Is the sole arbiter,
and against his decision there shall
be no appeal"
The evidence of a medical ex.
animation is often valueless. There
may have been a bruise before the
man entered the ring; the doctor
cannot always tell. Some boxers,
too, have a habit Of denting their
protection cups just before entering
the ring, although in many clubs
the referee and doctor examine the
men and cups just before entering
the ring. It is possible, too, that
a foul may have been committed
and still there would be no evi.
dence of il when the doctor ex.
amined the man in the ring.

TAKE
GIANTS OVER
BIC HILL
Box Work Alone Wins Eight
Out of First Ten Games
PlaJ Jed
By DAVIS j. WALSH,
International News Service Sports
Editor

NEW YORK. May S.-Judging
from the returns on the first few
weeks of the National League race,
the reported inaptitude Of our Mr..
McGraw's pitchers is something OF
la bedtime story. The Giants pres
ent position in the race, far from
being attained in spite Of their
pitching, is due in reality to the
work Of McGraw's so-called weak
staff. Good pitching alone won
eight Of the first ten games played.
In support of this statement the
writer need only refer you to the
official averages with the remark
that one cannot go behind figures
any more than one can go behind
the nape Of his neck. The average
over the period in question showed
the Giants running an indifferent
last in club batting. II might also
be mentioned that team can win
ball games only through hitting and
pitching; consequently, by adding
two and two, one arrives at the con-
clusion that pitching carried the
Giants to the top Of the percentage
table.
Most of this was turned in by
Dean and Huntzinger, recruits; Jack
Bentley, second-year man, and
Virgil Barnes, just coming to his
best after several seasons. Barnes
and Huntzinger, the latter recent
graduate of the University Of Penn.
sylvania, beat the Braves. Dean
turned back the Dodgers in ten
innings and Bentley took fall out
Of the Dodgers and Phillies.
And the veterans are yet to be
heard from. Art Nehf has stepped
out with several laudable efforts as
relief man, but is not being, over
worked as in former seasons. John
Watson and Hugh McQuillan, mean
time, have been held in reserve for
the heavy going that is certain to
come in the subsequent months Of
the season.
Claude Jonnard. first-class relief
pitcher. to say nothing of Baldwin,

They may be future Mathewsons or
future saps. but the fact remains
that they have been crowded out
Of the action by men who already
have demonstrated that they can
make the rifle.
In brief, 1t would appear that the
Giants are weak in pitching, just
like Stranger Lewis weak in the
forearms.
