first but Morse hit home run to left
field. Riggert was safe on Tooley's
error and Haas singled, sending him to
third. Dresser hit a long fly to Gan
eel and Riggert scored. Stewart erred
on the next one, but Koenig flied out
to Jeanes, ending the game.
The work of Bremen and Jeanes
stood out for the Barons. Bremen hit
safely three times and almost obtained
a fourth out OF four tries and played
a good game at first as well. His
fielding was perfect and he made one
nice catch of a bad hop when the Ba-
rons were in the hole. As for Jeanes.
the St. Paul runners showed abiding
respect for his strong right arm. His
throwing from the outfield Tuesday
was sensational.
Haas led st. Paul batters with four
safties out of five tries.

WORK
HARD FOR GAME

Regular work is going at full speed
at Birmingham-Sout in preparation
for the meeting of the Panther and
Furman university aggregations Satur-
day afternoon In the first collegiate
game of the season.
The game will probably be played at

has been offered the Painters who. In
the work which Is going on in Munger
bowl. are without a diamond for other
than practice encounters. The Gold
sana black team Is rounding rapidly
early encounters with the Philadelphia
Athletics and the Barons seem to in
dictate.
"Babe Ruth" Graham will probably
start the encounter, with Joe Wheeler
and other members Of the pitching staff
in reserve, there being also a POSSIBLE
ity of Hamilton entering the game, for,
contrary to reports, the stellar twirler
OF the freshmen Is at regular practice
daily. Bill Adams is another who may
be used during the afternoon. Mickey
O'Brien will form the other part Of
the battery, with the remaining part
Of the team being made up Of vet
Grams Of seasons past.
"Skeebie" Caldwell will be on first,
with June Anderson at his regular
shortstop job. Either Verman Kim
brough or Ben Englebert will handle
the keystone position, there being a
possibility of the latter being shifted
to that part OF the infield in order to
make room for "Bullo" Williams, who
seems to be looking after things well
at the third corner. Mitchell, Norton
and Williams will be the trio OF ex-
perienced men to make up the out
field for the game Saturday.
All members of the Gold and Black
team are hitters OF ability, practically
all being able to make contact with
the ball at the necessary instant, and
the team promises a good showing
Saturday.

In putting. should there be any
shifting of the weight on the feet?
Should the weight be evenly divided
or more one one foot than the other?
Answered by
JOHN BLACK
THE Carpenter of Troon." whose
great gameness and mastery OF golf
makes him feared at all tournaments
Particularly competent on approach
In putting, the weight should be
kept on the left foot, keeping the body
perfectly still. The motion is made
with the arms and wrists. If the
weight is shifted from one foot to the
other, the putt will not go straight nor
can distance be gagged properly dur
ing weight shifting"
Many players move their knees when
putting. If the weight is kept on the
left foot, it will stop this unsteadying
motion of the knees. Putting with
the weight on the right foot inclines
the player to lift the ball, and the ball
will jump instead OF rolling smoothly
II the weight is centered, 1t is much
more of temptation to get that knee
motion, causing the body to move,
thereby destroying accurate putting.
