d AND AFTER
BY ROSS CoNKLIN-

Davey Thompson, silent little pro
at the Washington Golf and Coun-
try Club had a sweet chance to
break the course record at his
club last week. Playing around in
a threesome, he went out in IS,
and was well on the road to break
ing So when darkness forced off
the play on the fourteenth green.
Dave sailed into his drive on the
first tee and drove the green. He
putted strongly for an eagle, miss
birdie. From that time on until
the fourteenth was reached, he had
either brides or par on every
hole. But for darkness he would
have undoubtedly have cracked
that 20 record.
About the saddest thing in golf
happened on the links Of the East
Potomac Park course, or rather
in the club house. Nick Altrock.
comedian-coach of the Washing
ton baseball club, came in from
nine holes all parched out. Nick
would like to have something cold
to drink. He asked for and got a
bottle of milk. Now any one
knowing Nick knows wherein the
pathos of the story liesa

SANDL0T
PLAYER HAS
CHANCE
Ruth Observes That Most OF
Big Leaguers Started on
Corner Lots
Bv BABE RUTH.

NEW YORK, June "a few
days after / got out of the hos
pital / happened into Central
Park one afternoon and watched
bunch of boys playing ball on
one of the sand lots there.
Of course they recognized me,
and several of them came over
to chin q bit between innings.
"Say, Babe" one of them asked
me, 'what's the difference be-
tween sand letters and big
leaguers, anyway"
About one thousand ball games"
I said to him. He didn't get just
what I meant. But it's simple
enough. The big leaguer has the
edge in experience. When a man
has played a couple OF thousand
games he learns q lot about the
game. just like you do In golf or
tennis or any OF those games.
But you can't get away from
one thing. Most of the big Ieaguers
come from the sand lots-and every
sand lot player in the world has
chance, someday, to get into the
big leagues. OF course a lot Of
them won't-but the thing still
holds true.
That isn't the big thing about
sandlot baseball though, guess.
Bigger than that is the fact that
boys playing amateur baseball
learn q lot Of things that make
them better men. They learn to
play hard with all they've got;
they learn the old winning spirit
and / guess that counts any
where you go, or whatever you
do.
Up in the big leagues we see
some fellow in there fighting hard
and going after every ball whether
he can reach 1t or not, and we
kid him sometimes and talk about
"the old college try" But we
don't mean anything by it-for we
know that that fellow il worth a
in there trying.
laugh about is the same thing that
all the kids learn cut on the sand
LOFTS the spirit of getting into the
game and staying in-the spirit that
makes them fight to win and never
give up.
I'm not a preacher, but I could
go on for a long time ON this matter
of amateur baseball and the sand
letters. I'm a sort Of kid myself,
I guess. Anyhow, like to get out
with the rest of the kids and play
ball-and like to go out in the
parks and watch the kids play. too.
/ get a real kick cut Of seeing
the boys out on the sandlOts fight
ing their games through and giving
the old college try to everything that
comes along.
