MIR. HARDWOOD
DOESN'T NEED
GOLF TITLES
His Trick Shots Are Enough,
So He Passes Up the
British Tourney
BY JOE WILLIAMS

Joe klrkwood VIII not compete
in the British open championship
this month 1t would be bad
business" for him to do so. Kirk
wood is professional golfer and
professionals are in golf for what
they can get out of it. KirkwOod Is
an entertainer first, player next,
although his ability is that of
champion.
1t would cost Kirkwood something
like $500 to make the tri p abroad.
The chances are Is to /, or worse,
against his winning the title. The
Importance of title to a golfer lies
in the publicity it brings. This pub
licity puts the lucky golfer squarely
in the spotlight, earns him a rating
as an exhibition artist and increases
his price" as professional teacher.
Kirkwood, however, is the one
golfer in the world who dosn't need
a championship. He can take a golt
ball and entertain gallery OF
spectators for two hours with his
trick shots and black magic, and
get big money for it. Another golfel
could win three or four champion
ships and not be the attraction, i'll
this respect that the Australian is.
So when you hear kirkwood say he
cannot afford to try for title as
important as the British open, you
know why, and it is not hard to I'm.
derstand.
Incidentally, Kirkwood, should
have won the event last year, when
he did go over. He had better
chance, than Arthur Harvers, who
finished first, or Walter Hagen, who
was second, a stroke away.
Kirkwood was leading the en-
tire field by four or five strokes
up to the 18th hole on the final
round. To win, all he had to do was
play the remaining five holes in
fairly respectable manner. He could
drop three strokes to par and YET
be certain of first place.
But Kirkwood is not a good fin
Usher. His competitive temperament
is not of the best. The very knowl-
edge that he was close to victory up
set his nerve control and he lost his
touch almost completely.
Kirkwood is not an excellent put
ter, either. He cuts across the bal
snd is frequently off the lint. Kirk.
wood would probably fare better IN
championships if he gave up rs
trick shots. This much he admits
himself.
"But why should II" he asks
fThe trick shots are more valuable

get the full advantage of the slide,
is to properly gauge the distance.
1t is imperative that the runner go
irto the bag at full speed, and yet
be able to SO hook into the base
that he will not overslidc.
The late slide is the bugbear OF
baseball. 1t means that the player
must hit the dirt without giving
thought to distance and position.
Usually the spikes catch in the turf
and the Mayer suffers leg injury.
Combs could have scored stand
ING up. In running to the plate
he so judged the play that he did
rot believe it necessary to slide.
One of his teammates, thinking
Combs was to be thrown out, yelled
slide as he was almost on the plate.
Seeking to obey orders, he slfd
into the plate late, didn't have time
To- rate his speed or distance and, as
a result, will probably be out the
rest of the season.
HIS loss, coming at tiIhe ""ch
his services are badly needed, will be
sorcly felt by the New York club.
A fine fielder, very fast, and great
hitter, Combs would have been a
regular f, ON the start on any club
other than the Yankees.
Joining a club that had won b
remnant and world series it was
only natural that he didn't have
much of chance. to break into the
lineup, despite his admitted abli-
ity.
Baseball managers are superstl-
tious. They follow precedent closely.
Seldom will they tempt fate.
Working along these lines, Miller
Higgins started the season with the
| worlds championship. That's mere
| ~ common sense.
The suspension of Bob Meusel
gave Earl Combs his big chance.
Had he not been injured he would
have been rated star by the close
of the season.

ELECTION LAWS
BREWSTER CHARGES
THESE DEFIED
Especial to Kenncbec JournaD


Lewiston. June 13.-Speaking be-
fore the Lewiston-Auburn Brewster
Club here this evening. Senator
Brewster had this TO say respecting
observance of election laws:
practically all the voters in some
OF our cities are not enrolled in any
political party. 1t has been the
practice to give to these unenrolled
voters at each election whichever
party ballot they might prefer.
without requiring a formal enroll
ment. This constitutes a deliberate
defiance OF the law and Is seriously
undermining our entire system OF
party government.
"The attorney general OF our
State has wisely summarized the
law upon this question at this time.
He states that persons who have
not been enrolled In any party
prior to the election may enroll on
the day of election by signing Il
paper furnished by the clerk and
may vote for the party of his choice
that day. but he must subscribe to
an oath provided by law The at
torney-general adds that any person
taking false oath. or in any way
violating the law relating to enroll
mcnt is subject to a heavy penalty.
If convicted
Il believe that a valuable service
can be done to our state and to
both our political parties by seeing
to it that this law Is scrupulously
observed on Monday next.
I'VE shall then be sure that ev-
eryone who votes in this primary
election is duly and legally enrolled
In one party or the other and a very
substantial step will have been
taken toward the restoration OF
party government"
Concerning Platforms
1.-THE Republican platform in the
state of Maine declares against the
appropriation OF public funds to any
private schools except those which
are wholly under the supervision OF
the commissioner of education ]
do not understand how it would We
possible for a religious school to be
wholly under the supervision of the
commissioner of education The
Republican platform seems to me.
therefore. to declare clearly against
the policy of appropriating public
funds TO religious schools without
affecting in any way grants to pri-
waite. non-sectarian academies. This
Is exactly the position which I take.
"The Democratic platform 'recog-
nizes the right of parents to educate
their children in private schools at
their own expense and also pro-
Nides for the granting OF public
funds to private schools with the
simple limitation that the state
should reserve a reasonable degree
OF supervision over such expendi-
ture.' Reasonable is very broad
word and seems fairly designed not
to prohibit any grants which it
might hereafter be deemed wise to
make to religious schools.
MY opponent for the Republican
nomination for Governor seems to
me to incline much moro strongly
toward the Democratic rather than
the Republican plank on the public
school question"
