. has gone before, or is coming
after. The joy is in making q
good start, notin winning q
game with q succession Of more
or less bad ones.
Whether it is better to play
3 round, or practice alone Is an
important question to any
golfers who hopes to 60 beyond
the average good golfer stage.
After q trying period Of pre-
liminary work D man reaches q
certain degree Of skill, and APP
parently stops there. As he
very likely expresses it, he
has reached his limit" The
real question, has he or IS he
merely in 8 nut from which in
telligent practice may lift him ?
am inclined to think that
many players have not reached
their limit at that stage and
that q judicious mingling Of
solitary practice and playing
rounds would lift them from
the rut to the level road Of
progress once more.
Ny own faith lies. with the
combination method. Perhaps q
good way to express it is that
solitary practice strengthens
technique, and playing rounds
increases mental alertness in
the meeting Of unexpected diff
ficulties.

cobb HAS HIGH
HOPES FOR
CARROLL
Every Tiger Player Pulling
for Former Holy Cross
Pitching Aoe

BOSTON. June "a. Don't worry
about Owen Carroll. He'll prove q
winner IN spite 81 the fact that he
didn't finish his first big, league
game. Yes. sir. Carroll II O. x.
That's the opinion expressed by
"Ty" Cobb. manager of the Detroit
Bengals. who expects the former
Purple box ace to develop into q
steady toiler ION the mound.
Carroll already has made q hit
with the Detroit players. and all are
pulling for the him to make good.
Cobb commented yesterday on
CAROLS first big league game, and
according TO the Georgia Peach, all
Carroll needs to dazzle big league
battera Is a change of pace. During
bis college career, CARROTS change
Of pace was battling. but against
the Red Sox, he entirely ignored it
for some reason.
On one occasion, however, he
chuck ~ up slow ball to Roy Car
lyle, Red Sox outfielder that com
! pletely baffled the slugger. Yet in
| spite OF the success OF the slow
ball Carroll didn't use it much.
Carroll made the mistake OF try
| ing to throw the ball by the Red
Sox batters. He succeeded in col
Iege games, but The poorest~of big
league hitters can't be blinded by
speed. Change Of pace is the key
to success of the major leagues.
Walter Johnson for years with
his binding speed fooled batters in
the American League, but as the
years wore on and Johnson's daz-
zling speed disappeared Big
Barney" was forced to give con-
siderable time and thought to his
pitching worries.
Now johnson uses change OF
pace that is carrying him through
to victory when most pitchers his
age have fallen by the wayside.
Control, too, has been his big secret.
CarroIPs control, which was bril-
liant in college days but which
lapsed in his big league debut Is
not worrying Cobb.
y Cobb will keep Carroll on the
bench and point out the weaknesses
Of big league batters at the same
time having the former Holy Cross
star watch the various pitching
styles of other successful hurlers.
With $4,000 fans roofing for him
to win, it's little wonder that Car
roll was unable to finish the game.
He worried more about the contest
than any game he ever pitched. He
tried hard to win. He was smoking
fast curve ball over the plate
with the result that he tired quick
| ly. He never got a chance to take
| it easy.
But take it from Cobb, Carroll
has the earmarks OF big league
sensation within the next year.
The Washington times., 1925-06-24

When playing 8 round you
play your shots SO far apart
that you do not tire out with
constant swinging, but on the
other hand there Is q good
chance to forget the little idea
that came to you on the sue
cess or failure Of the previous
shot before it Is time to play
it again. Ny own belief is that
. repetition Of the good idea
finally makes It q habit.
But in playing q round You
are practicing under playing
condition while ordinary prac-
tice varies TO q considerable
extent. Perhaps an ideal way
would be for q golfer to start
out with solitary practice, and
finish up by playing round,
but under such circumstances
fear there would be few
golfers, for most Of rs would
grow discouraged over the early
practice.
One has to learn to love the
game itself before he is willing
to undertake the drudgery Of
solitary practice; and to my way
of thinking, practice is found
not to be drudgery when one
has reached q certain stage say
a 90 shooter for then it be-
comes q pleasure to achieve q.
good start, not in winning &

+ There may be a few that still
contend that the Athletics are q
vast mistake, but they are in the
minority and would do well to
climb on the band wagon and
seize the first available cornet. The
Athletics apparently have no in
tentiOn of cracking.
The hesitancy about accepting
the Macks for what they claim
to be is due to the idea that they
are playing above and beyond
the collective head. The writer
thinks they are.
But so did the Phillies OF 1915.
the Reds OF 1919, the Dodgers Of
1915 and 1920 and the Washington
Senators of last season. There is
nothing in the constitution and by.
laws that prohibits q ball club
from continuing to play that way
indefinitely. The outfit merely gets
the idea that it is good and con-
ducts itself accordingly.
Fate wills the moment when dis
illusionment will take place. Some
times it doesn't come until the fol-
lowing season and, perforce, the
club either wins the pennant or
makes it decidedly uncomfortable
for the team that does. Sometimes
disillusionmert sets in before the
end OF the season and the club joins
the also rams. Ten days ago, fate
willed that the Philadelphia Ath-
letics should proceed upon their
merry way for the time being. at
least.
On that occasion. the Athletics.
y harried by injuries. were begin
ming to fray about the edges.
They had dropped down from
800 baseball to something around
500 pace.
They met the Cleveland Indians
and the latter proceeded to crash
their way into long lead in the
early innings. But the Athletics
put on a thirteene-run rally and
won. Baseball mon contend that
Connie Mack took the right turn ut
the cross roads on that occasion.
A top-heavy defeat would have
disorganized his ball club but in
stead sensational victory gave it
new life. The team won six
straight the. following week and
again is playing at the speed 1t
knew in the first month Of the
race. My idea Is that, with the
threatened slump avarted, the Ath-
letics will continue to do so.
1t seems to be a case where the
permanent wave is Ear from tenn

boys I'm 1921 and one afternoon
there. Quietly and without any
! who was not yet star even In
college ranks. He soon started
moving down the heavy hitters OF
Yale, Harvard. Princeton, Boston
College, Georgetown and other
league scouts got busy. Nine Of
them were on Carrolls trail at one
time.
They say one National League
club offered him a bonus Of $50. 900
for his signature. But baseball
law recognized Cobb's claims and
paid compliment to Cobb's judy
ment and shrewdness by awarding
the college star to Detroit.
He's q plain, modest sort OF
fellow. watched him at the
stadium posing for the movies
the first afternoon he was in
uniform. Other Yankee players
remarked his nice way Of acting
/ had q little talk with him and
am sorry I can't describe the
boy like . real paper reporter.
All can say is that Carroll
pitches right handed, has nice
dark blue eyes and talks good
sense. In action he seems tn
have lots Of speed and clever
drop ball.
A friend of mine happened to
drive Carroll and Cobb to the game
the first afternoon and told me how
he carried along his college base
ball duds-a modest roll containing
shoes, sox and sweat shirt. Moth
ing chesty about this boy.
Don't get discouraged, told
Carroll, 1.-THE best pitchers in the
game get their bumps"
well, expect to get mine, he
replied, "and what's more I guess
Cobb expects the same" Then he
told me something about Cobb,
which shows the young fellow is
certainly going to have every
chance in the world. "All you got
to do Is win us one game out of
the first six you pitch" That's
what Cobb told Carroll in the dress
ing room before the game. What
could be fairer?
AS it, turned out he lost his first
game to the Red Sox at Boston.

Walter Johnson himself was taken
out of his first game twenty years
ago. And other great pitching stars
have started off badly due to ner-
vousness, stage fright, over-anxious-
ness and sometimes just the breaks
in the game.
know Cobb is sold on him
right now, and figures that he'll
be ready to step in and take his
regular turn In the box. And il
he does, look out! All the Tigers
need is one more good pitcher to
tenders.
The way Cobb got wise to Car
roll Is an interesting story. Along
in 1921 Detroit went to Windsor
Locks near Worcester for an ex-
hibition game with some club there,
and Carroll pitched against them.
Here's how Cobb tells the story:
at went UP to bat the first time,
and, of course. figured it would
be easy. The kid put ono over for
thing OF it. Then he put over
another one that cut the corners,
and that was strike two. figured
