ST.; LOUIS, Mo, July 1S.-Wal.
ter johnson, pitching ace Of the
world champions Griffmen, is here
arriving Sunday afternoon. Today
he takes his initial workout and
is expected to pitch the final game
of the series in Detroit on Friday.
Johnson's arrival was unex.
pected. 1t was thought that he
would dodge the terrific heat here
and appear when the team landed
ip. Detroit. President Griffith and
Manager Harris were surprised,
therefore, to find him in the hotel
lobby ON their return from the ball
park yesterday. How do you feel
Walter" asked Harris.
Fine" was. the pitchers reply,
though his paleness : belied his
words.
All right, get ready to work.
We need you," rejoined Harris.
johnson will remain here through
this series. though he will not ap-
pear in either game. He will mere
~ work out, loosening up his
muscles and preparing to start
the final game In Detroit.

explained Manager Harris today
"I'll have a chance to let Cove
leskie take four days rest before
entering the box again, Convey has
been, pitching brilliantly and the
pace is telling on him. He is about
due now for an extra day on the
bench. L figure Walter for that last
game in Detroit, though he may
pitch the second If he feels like
it," Johnson caught cold travelling
to Boston from Washington on the
night OF July 1 and developed a
mild attack of tonsilitis.

However, we have gained one full

for the pennant, and should be run.

with Barney, Ruether, Convey and
Zachary taking their turns. Mar.

everything will be all right by the
time. we land in New York for
those three games at the end OF
this trip"
The Griffs have broken even In
sly games in the West and have
won seven out Of eleven games on
the road on this trip. This is a
winning percentage Of .636 away

PAY AS ENTER

IN WEST
St. Louis Has Novel System
For Those Whose Time
Is Limited

Now comes ST. Louis's latest con
trihution to the world of sports
T,le's "pay-as-yu.eter" golf It's :
new notion fostered by the Creve
Cover Club. which recently open
ell its doors with the avowed inten
ton of catering to the busy work
ingman." -
There's no club membership ir
this latest arrangement; no year
round dues. You pay as you play
II your time is limited you car
play five holes and pay just FOR
that. If you have a little more
leisure and can work in ten 81
twelve holes, then the price ad
vances accordingly.
II you belong to that leisure clasc
that can play all day long, why, you
deposit a dollar and play the clock
around.
Simple isn't it?
Here's what the promoters of the
idea have to say:
Thousands of working men anC
women hesitate to take up golf be
cause they feel that the cost is too
great for the limited time they have
to spend on the course If the,
join a club they are paying for 4
privilege which they can avail them
selves OF only infrequently, II they
pay green fees whenever they pla Y
then they feel that they must take
a half day from their work in order
to get their moneys worth.
That's too much like buying ar
automobile and locking it up in 4
garage.
Our idea is to provide golf fol
the fellow whose time is limited. II
he has only a half-hour he can pay
for that long and pay only for what
he actually uses. II he has Tins
for only three or four holes, hG
wants to play all day long, he car

"Pay-as.you- enter" golf is to the
golfer what Piggy Wiggly is tc
grocers.
1t works. too.
And the plan works out The
pay.as-you-e enter course is constant
ly busy. It's popular. AMI. accord

Of the game throughout the city.
AS remarked before, you've got

They are kicking against their
small rooms in a city offering a
sizzling temperature in midsummer
and it is probable that still an
other shift will be made by the
time the team returns here next
month when 1t will be quite as
hot as it is now.
Yesterday morning more than
half Of the players went out to the
ball park to get some sleep under
the grand stand. They didn't get
much because even there 1t was

must be played with the enraged

AND AFTER
BY ROSS coNKLIN-

Down at East Potomac Park
they have a player who believes
in the efficacy of home made
paraphernalia. And what is more
the player shoots a fair game
with his home made stuff. Which
is more than some of US can do
with high-priced equipment.
One of the home made contri
vances used is a long, stout rope
like cord. This cord is tied to a
well worn rubber tee, and The other
end is tied to the bag. After tee
ing off. the player picks up his
bag and starts after his ball. In
due time he notices something drag
ging, and 10, theer is his rubber
tee trailing him at forty feet.
Straightway. it is hauled up and
placed in the bag.
A putter made out of the stout
hickory that formerly graced
wagon tongue is another Of the
contrfvances used. The hickory
Is as hard as steel, and makes q
very good putter. He can put
them in from all angles. Numer.
Gus other cOntraptions have been
perfected and placed on the bag
or clubs.
Among the more perfect devices
is one that vulcanizes cut balls.
Golf balls are costly, especially
when two or three are lost in every
round. Therefore, a vulcanized ball
Is something to be considered. A
can Of rubber cement, used for auto.
mobile tires. is the stuff used for
the vulvanizing process. In times
OF stress, a match is used to heal
a fresh cut, and the ball Is made
new.
