choice Of CLUB
IMPORTANT
FACTOR
But Don't Let Opponent Fool
You As Did This
Youngster

i One of the things the golfer
should observe closely Is the club
which his opponent uses on each
shot. He should make sure just
what kind Of club it is before
jumping to conclusions.
Not so long ago one of the coun-
try's best golfers nearly was elm
mated in the first round OF the
Professional Golfers Association
tourney by younger and less ex
perienced player.
When the thirty-fifth tee waa
reached the youngster, having the
honor, drove beautifully down the
fairway. The veteran deliberately
played short to get the first try
for the green.
Observing the wind, though
slight, had shifted to their backs,
the veteran tried to impress the
youngster that midiron would be
unnecessary to carry their ap-
proaches to the green. Then he
drew what appeared to be a mashIe
from his bag, and laid the ball
few feet from the pin.
Reasoning told the youngster II
the veteran used a mashie he, too.
should use that club. He did
and landed twenty-five feet from
the pin. Subsequently, he lost the
hole and the veteran won the
match.
The reason was that the vet
Grams "mashiep was not a nashie.
1t was a midiron built to look like
a mashie. He kept it in his bag
for just such occasions.

MAKES
TY'S WISDOM
FALTER.

Babe Pinelli, OF the Cincinnati
Reds, is rated one Of the best third
sackers in the National League.
Yet prior to becoming star he was
twice turned down by Detroit as
shy big league caliber.
Says Pinelli: "Ty Cobb sure did
me a big favor when he said 1
wasn't a big Lacquer and turned me
lose. When he sent me to the
minors the last thing I told him
was that I would make his iudg-
ment look bad. l think have de-
livered.
eff Cobb hadn't turned thumbs
down on ms and sent me back to
the minors ! probably would still
be holding down spot on the De-
roit bench, little more than a spec
tator."

League struggle from which the
Griffmen emerged victorious, he led
even Babe Ruth in driving over
runs. Today Goslin is one of the
batting heroes of the major leagues.
AS the Griffmen, inaugurating
the defense OF their title, clash to.
day with the New York Yankees
before a capacity crowd in the
Yankee Stadium, the name OF
Goose Goslin occupies that promi-
hence usually given, on such mo.
mentous occasions, to Babe Ruth's.
And were Babe Ruth able to play
today the big topic would concern,
without question, the prospective
smuggling contest between the Babe
and the Goose. The Bambino him.
self has said that Goslin is his most
respected rival.
Such is Goose GOsIin's distinc-
ton as a batsman. 1t has over
Swallowed his prOWess in another
department of his profession, and
il is the object of this piece to
impress that fact upon those who
haven't had the privilege Of see
ing Goose GOslin play ball this
spring.
He shares with Oswald Bluege,
in the opinion Of Manager Harris,
the distinction of being the most
improved ball player over last year
with the Washington Club. Cos.
Inns improvement is as a fielder,
Bluege's principally as hitter.
Somewhere along the line the
Goose has left that superfluous
foot. He has acquired grace, a
quality that no one suspected would
ever come to him. He is not the
polished fielder we have in Iris
Speaker or Sam Rice. Nor is it
predicted here that he ever will
be, but his marked improvement
in the last year is sufficient ground
for hope.
A fault that contributed to Cos
Inns appearance of clumsiness in
the field, was his mediocre judge
ment Of fly balls. Many times he
made two starts for the sailing
sphere. But not now. He starts
decisively with the crack of the
bat and streaks a bee line to the
right spot.
The elimination of waste molten
enables him to cover more ground.
He made several catches in the
Polo Grounds of Giant drives that
made the spectators goggle-eyed
with wonder. Reporters had pen
ellis poised to mark them as hits.
In each instance the Goose's tim
ing was perfect and the catch was
made with graceful ease.
Yea, the awkward ducking may
vet blossom into a swan.
