Earl Ylngling as pitcher, had
merit, but he had no relish for
pop flies and would run away
from them, leaving the catch to:

several mixups. Joe Cantillon
told him 70 either quit calling
altogether or use better judg-

Galleries at Golf
Games Decreasing

Except at championship meet
ings. not so many persons turn
out to watch professional golf
ers play these days as were
wont TO do not so very long ago,
in the opinion OF A. C. Croome.
who, writing In the London
Morning Post, continues;
AT any rate. the size of the
galleries has not kept pace with
the increase in the number of
golf courses and the players who
crowd them inconveniently at
week-ends. Several reasons for
this abstinence even from good
work may be suggested. PrOfes-
sional competitions are more
frequent than they used 80 be,
and one is very much like an
other. Consequently. it may be
that the energies Of potential =
spectators are dissipated.
what is certain is that the
average standard of play has
risen appreciahly, and 1t is not
easy to discover a solid basis for
the suggestion that crowd-com-
4)elling personalities have be-
