at would be a crime against the
public if the dragging of innocent
people into this affair should divert
attention from the guilty or prevent
the discovery of those who have be-

country is shocked and appalled, by
what has been revealed in this inves-

strong susp cion in the public mind

AMATEURS LACK
BALANCE OF PROS
International Records Show
Paid Players Stand Up Bet
ter Under Hostile COndi.
tiOnS.
by JOE WILLIAMS

Comparative records in intcrnation-
al play show that the professional
golfer has it all over the amateur.
And the main difference lies not so
much in abilities or lack Of abilities,
as in poise, competitive temperament
and the knack Of making the best OF
conditions as you find them.
Harry Vardon comes to this coun-
try three times. In 1900 he wins,
in 1913 he is tied for first place, in
1920 he is second, just stroke away.
Ted Ray makes two trips over, ties
for first in 1913 and wins III 1920
J. II. Taylor finishes second the only
time he tries in America.
The American professional record
abroad is equally flattering. Jock
Hutchinson wins at st. Andrews IN
1921, with Tommy Kcrrigan . mere
two strokes behind. Walter Hagen
makes it two in row for the Star
Spangled entry the following year at
| Sandwich, with Jim Barnes tied fol
second, and Hutchinson next, a stroke
| away. Last year at TrOon, Hagen is
bang-up second to Arthur Havers
the triumphant Briton, with Mac
Donald Smith and Joe Kirkwood up
| close.
The strange courses and unusual
climatic conditions, obstacles against
which the amateurs habitually bump
their toes, had no effect on either
the invading Britishers in this coun'
try or the invading Americans across
! the sea.
Our amateurs can't win abroad
nor can the British amateurs wiz
here. Only once in great while &c
the amateurs even get into the thicl
of the fight. Bob Gardner went tt
the finals three years ago and was
knocked off in an extra hole mattel
by CYRIL Tolley. Francis Ouime'
got as far as the semi-finals last year
but Jess Sweetser, our champion a
the time, was eliminated in the frs
round.

Fourteen years ago Mac, then a
mere kid, tied Alex Smith, an older
brother. and Johnny McDermott for
the National Open. In the playoit
Alex won the title. 1t was Alex S

Billy Evans Says

What do you regard as the WIN
ming factors in baseball?
I put that question to Connie
Mack the other day as we sat on
the bench watching his rejuvenated
Athletics in action.
"You must get consistent hitting
and combine it with good pitching.
was his immediate reply.
Don't get the impression that Con-
ME Mack no longer figures fielding
highly essential. He does.
1t is his opinion, however, that
pitching plus hitting are the two
best weapons, Extensively and de-
fensively.
Good pitching, he believes, is the
one great asset, because it creates
q feeling of confidence and makes
for better hitting and fielding.
The value of good pitching is
'r.ade manifest in the brand of ball
that a club usually plays behind its
pitching ace.
When Walter Johnson is Working
for Washington there is a dash to
the play of the club that seems lack
ing with the ordinary pitcher or
the mound.
The players feel that the making
Of an error doesn't upset Johnson
and that usually he can pitch Out
OF hole that some teammate ha:
dug for him by a misplay.
The team also realizes that John
son doesn't need much Of a working
margin, that if they are able to give
him lead of few runs, he will
invariably hold it.
