LORD BURGHLEY
D|SDA|NFUL Of

English NobIeman and Ath.
Iete Measures Up as
Regular Guy

Dave Burghley, who objects TO
being addressed as His Lordship,"
although he is a titled lad. is our
idea OF what an English nobleman
usually is NOT. writes Stoney Nc
Linn in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. -
Contrariwise. Davy is our idea OF
what an amateur athlete SHOULD
be.
One visualizes an English lord as
a superior sort Of person-or a
person who THINKS he is on the
upper level. We Americans see
him, in our minds eye, as a
spoiled boy" grown up.
Jenkins, my walking stick, my
brown spats and my iron-gray hat;
think / shall motor to the club
for tea" we imagine His Lordship
saying to his valet.
Somehow or other we don't pic.
ture a Britisher or the nobility as
chap who can go out among his
fellows and rough it-run foot
race or box three fast rounds.
When it comes to speed, endur-
ance, grit and the qualities that go
to make a herman athlete we don't
look among the 384-room castles in
EngIand-and we don't look among
the mansions Of the multimillion-
aires in ourso own Land of the Free,
either.
But Davy Burghley is just .
normal lad boy ul.gpoiled by the
His Lordship" business. He might
be said to take his fun where he
finds it, which Is the one way to
have real fun.
And Davy Burghley is a TRUE
AMATEUR because he plays when
he likes, how he likes and for the
fun of it. He wants no frills or furbe-
lows on his account-he wants to
run because he gets kick from the
competition with his fellows.
Davy proved that he is-well.

Hole In One Aids Pro
to Smash Record
At Bellevue

When q professional golfer u.
in the mood, he Is generally
equal to q record performance.
Recently ut the Bellevue Golf
and Country Club, near SYRIA
cuse, Bill Entwistle was quite
in the mood, 30 much 80, in
fact, that by the time he
reached the fourteenth tee he
found himself fit to make .he
perfect shot. That fourtaenth
hole, lat yards, was scored in
one by Entwistle. He had gone
out in thirty-five and the see
coming back enabled him to
cover the inward nine in thirty,
for q sixty-five total. The for
n1er record was sixty-nine, made
by Ted Ray several years ago.
Par is seventy-two.

Trained baseball writer's wrote
much about the Yankees in Flor
ida. One or two said that the
team wasn't training seriously.
One went so far as to mention
various parties at which certain
banned liquids were imbibed to a
greater or less extent.
When the season got under way
the fans in the stands could see
that many of the players, espe-
cially the pitchers, were is no
condition to show at their best.
Bay windows are not conducive
to endurance, yet Urban Shocker
sported a nifty one the day he
was knocked out Of the box at
the Clark Griffith Stadium.
Much Of the weakness in the
New York club is mental. The
Yanks are a collection of veter-
ans surrounding the Behemoth of
Bust. So long as Ruth has been
numbering the ball. the others
merely filled in the picture. With
out Ruth's mighty swinging bat,
the remainder Of the cast has been
laundering around. The morale
of the Yanks has disappeared and
all the food in the world will
not bring it back.
1t was most unkind of the we'll
fed Griffmen to beat and mangle
those starving Yankees. 1t was
cruel for the dilapidated Boston
Red Sox to crush those fainting
Yankees. Something ought to be
done about it. So Higgins orders
more food, which is something, If
only food.

stopping Dundee. who has been
counted out only once in more
than three hundred fights.
While Dundee admits that he
has lost some Of his speed, he In

avoiding punishment. Never a.
damaging hitter, Johnny battled all

Time alone is showing Dundee
into the discard. He refused to be-
liave that the younger generation
can offset his experience with
juvenile dash and speed.
While Dundee just missed be-
coming lightweight champion, he &C
quired a fortune in the ring and
could step out now and live COM
fortably on. his investments. But
boxing is his life. Like many other
great fighters he will not quit until
they cut the gloves Off his hands.
Dundee doesn't believe that Terris

Another Yankee Whine.

n EFORE getting away from
II the Yankees, it Is interest
~ ing to read what Miller Hug
gins has to say about the marve!
Gus work of Roger Peckinpaugh
in the Washington infield as COM
pared with the mediocre perforn'-
ances of Deacon Scott for the
Ianks.
"Peckinpaugh played better ball
for Washington last year than he
ever did for me-" says Miller
Higgins. without him Wash
ington would never have won the
pennant.
81 never would have traded
Peckinpaugh in 1921 if Frazee
had not insisted that the New
York club take Scott in the deal
involving Jones and Bush. He would
not give up the pitchers unless
he got Peckinpaugh for Scott. So
we had to take him. Then Peck
was Immediately traded to Wash
ington for Joe Dugan."
It was Clark C.. Griffith who
insisted" that Peckinpaugh be
traded for Scott. The only way
Frazee could land Dugan, the
player he wanted, was to get
Peckinpaugh from the Yankees.
Dugan was then the property of
the Washington club, Connie Mack
having wanted Bing Miller. So
when Scott went to New York,
Dugan went to Boston and Peck
came here. Bing Miller went to
Philadelphia, completing the four
cornered deal. Now Scott is the
first to fall by the wayside and
so the Yankees are whining again.

the lineup. They point to the
fact that the club played better
bali in 1922 with Ruth missing
than it did after his return as
proof of this contention. The
truth of the matter is that the
Yanks are far from the same ball
club. They had good pitching then
and today it il less than ordinary.
The Yanls got tIlirty-nine hits
In four games last week, put
only twelve runs, proving that

sometimes, but never behind good
pitching.
A general collapse of the pitch
ing staff is the answer to the
Tigers position. They averaged
about seven runs and ten hits a
game last week, yet lost five out
0f six.
The Pirates also hit well but to
far greater advantage. In fact, their
record of thirty-one runs scored ON
thirty-nine hits just about constr

that they won all three games played
up to and including Saturday.
Good pitching kept the Griffmen
