A play that illustrates Sarazen's
temperament and his power came up
during the Professional Golf Asso-
citation tournament Of 1923 at Pei
ham.
The ninth hole there measures 2e4
yards, but IL is an elbow affair with
the bend to the left and the straight
way distance from tee to flag was
not more than 275 yards
Any one playing for the green
must shoot over a clump Of high trees:
that begins 40 yards from the tee
and runs close to the green. The
drive must have a carry of 23O yards
at least
The average player. following the,
fairway, gets to within 80 or 40
yards OF the green, and takes a par
four. Those who can drive over the.
elbow have a chance for d birdie
three. Throughout the tournament
Sarazen tried the shot and got away
with it, using a high carrying bali
which his style favors and a slight
fade to the right.

which he won on the last green, GeGe
drove the green the first time we
came to the ninth. The second time
he was just little short at the right.
1 mention this just to show how
small player to get. Gorge Dun
can. Abe Mitchell and other long
players of much greater size have
used all they had TO reach this same
green.
Playing against Walter Hagen in
the final, Sarazen gave further ex-
hibition of his courage when the
match was carried to the thirty
eighth hole. The thirty eighth
that is cepoud bola-a
Pelham is called the house hole
1t is an elbow hole, and, like the.
ninth. with the bend to the left.
The elbow crooks sharply around
a row of houses. The hole is 80
yards in length. but if you care to
take the risk of shooting over these
houses the distance is probably not
more than ESQ yards.
Between the houses and the green
is high net wire fence which acts
as an extra hazard, but a 210-yard
carry will get you over this.
Most players shoot straight down
the fairway, which, at tho elbow,
slopes quite a lot from right TO left
A well placed drive will take the
roll of this slope and bring up in q
position for short second shot, al
though there is always a possibility
of having to play over six-foot
to the green or a sandtrap at the
right.
Hagen chose to use the orthodox
drive down the fairway, but it left
him with a second shot over the trap.

well, president of the National Box

dominating the boxing game and at

Eddie (Cannonball) Martin of
Brooklyn, who recently defeated Abe

bantamweight title, will not be rec

Cogswell, nor will the winner of the

Danny Kramer of Philadelphia be
recognized as the featherweight

Neither of these matches has had
the approval of the National Boxing

would be ignored by the International
Boxing Union, OF which the National
Boxing Association is the American

The National League has brought
out most Of the great third basemen
of all time. Beginning back with
the days when "Old Deacon" White
played third base with his bare hands
and stopped ground hits that some
ball players gladly would have side
stepped. going on to the time of Ed.
Williamson, who played third base
some of the time and to Jerry Den
ny, Arthur Devlin, and some others,
the NATIONAL League always has had
a star on the third base corner.
None of them could quite equal
Collins. Sometimes old timers think
Denny was as good. because Denny
could play third base with his right
hand, as well as most players could
play the base with both right and
left. others think Devlin was the
great man, because Devlin. for two
years, was making plays at third base
that raised him above all other third
basemen. Bobby wallace Is recalled
when he played third before he went
over to shortstop, but not one of them
could do all that Collins did, or do
1t as easily as Jimmy played.
Collins was one of the third base
men of history who could come up
to home plate, pick the ball off the
ground and throw out fast runners
at first base There have been sew
eral third basemen who could get
the ball within, say, 10 feet of home
plate, and catch their men at first,
but Collins got on top of home plate
itself and made the catcher get out of
the way. How he did 1t not even the
eye could tell because the eye had
it's troubles to follow him.
