FALK' s SUCCESS
IS LAID To
EVERS
White Sox OutfieIder Leaps
To Stardom Under
Johnny's Leadership
~UvoooR SPoQw-

Possibly the best answer to the
present Johnny Evers as a, manager
is the case of Bib Falk, the former
University Of Texas athlete. The
Sox strung along with Falk for
several seasons, hoping to see him
come through with the stuff his
varsity work indicated was in him.
But Falk, mainly because he i'm.
agined Manager Gleason was "ag'in
im," was disinterested. He wanted
to get away and admitted it, and
he would have been sent to the
Yankees along with Eddie Collins
If the Yanks hadn't refused to give
up Pitcher Waite Hoyt. Manager
Higgins of the champs had Falk
pegged for a conner, and was sight.
This season Falk has suddenly
developed into one of the most val.
liable men on the team. At tho
start Of the season he wasn't even
looked upon as a regular. Now he's
travelling with the leading hitters
Of the league, his mark lowering
around $40. And the funny part Of
it Is that he is hitting left-handers
something he had failed to do pre-.
viously.
OF course, Falk's rise into star.
dom Is due mainly to the fact that
he is giving Evers all he has in dia'
mond ability, but there's another
thing that enters into the trans
ltion. Falk in the past way a
swinger Of the home run or nothins
type. He couldn't learn to choke
up. Now he's doing that and big
portion of his hits result from just
meeting the ball and lining it over
the infield.
Evers has what one might term
a baseball brain. He possesses M
uncanny memory and can talk for
hours OF things that happened on
the ball field years ago. Not even
the most insignificant detail escapes
his mind.
He can tell you the date of q
thing, just who was involved, and
just how it happened. Charles w

Evers was in his prime, once re-

The truth about Bobby Jones IL
out at last. The former open cha n

living quietly at his home in at
lanta and is doing considerable pr C.
ticing for the coming event. CT Il.

about Jones, because he has taken
part in less tournament play than
in any previous season since he be-
came one Of the country's leading

Jones has been polishing up his
game to such an extent that last
week he went out and broke three
different course records around At
lanta. He did this in a space of
four days. At the Newman Coun.
try Club he lowered his own mark
of 81 to SIS, with an eagle 3 on a
par home hole of SIT yards An
other of his marks was a 80 on a
nine-hole Ansley Park course.
Jones is not going to be over
golfed when the competition begins
for the Walker Cup and the anna

right now as the dangerous threat
of the title event at Merton. He
has been quietly preparing for the

partial dislocation at the base Of

of Meriden, in Hamden, according
to Doctor Charles p. De Foe, who
attended him. Doctor De Foe said
that X-ray photographs, which were
taken early today, disclosed The in.

result of stopping a right.han

When the Kid saw Fulton paste
Meehan he thought of what he
had done to the fat one and was
convinced that he could beat Full
ton. What made him doubly sure
was the fact that he had spared
with tall Fred at the Olympic
Club and had done well.
Coffroth, however, thought it a
poor match and couldn't be made
to think otherwise.
The night that Benny Leonard
and Willie Richie boxed their
four-rounder, and Benny had his
eye closed, the writer rode to the
club with Mccoy in an open taxi.
We passed in back of the Palace
Hotel along Mission street. AS
we sailed along Mccoy suddenly
giggled:
"Say," he said. pointing to. a
large building with a mansarj
roof. "See that place? That was

smiled.
We got to talking about great
fighters and great fights, and /
asked the Kid to name the great.
est fighter he had ever seen.
We thought that maybe Tommy
Ryan "a great fighter, who taught
Mccoy, might be his pick, and
sort of suggested him.
The sneer came to the Kids

Ryan? Because l licked him? No,
don't think he was the greatest.

health and said:
"You know I'm going to live
to be 100 years old or it's going
to be a great shock to me. I've
taken good care of myself all my
life and am more careful than
ever now. One of the secrets Of
good health is water drinking.
