Outiicldcr Boone Of Boston Is
Victim-Fails to Make
Big League Grade

When ma or league ball club lets
go of it's heaviest hitter then it may
be guessed that its plans for reor-
ganizaton arc pretty radical. That
IS what the Boston Red Sox h"vc
done in release of Outficldcr Ike
Boone to the Missions CLUB OF s3..l
Francisco, in the Coast League
Not only did the elongated Ike lead
Red Sox hitters in 1925. bur he also
stood at the top Of the Red Sox in
hitting in 1924. The previous season
with San Antonio in the Texas League
he led the Lone Star circuit as a
swatsmth with batting mark above
400.
with the Red Sox in 1924 Boone
iattcd 1913 in rs games, with II
home runs To his credit AS part of
his cxtra-basc contribution. In 1925
he batted $50 in 1913 games.
Hitting Lets Him Out
That Ike will continue to hit in
the Coast League can be safely pre-
dicted-he always has been a hitter.
1t probably will be said that hitting
lets him out, and that was why Bos-
ton discarded him.
1t is a fact Ike never would take
StHs iItuAlS d5 SFttu TlCICHdHt,
though his length Of leg did carry
him over his share Of ground, as
shown by the way he shaggcd after
flies in 1925.
But alas, he was too creaky in the
joints to make good at handling
ground hits, and that weakness put
him last in the list of right ficidcrs
when it came to fielding percentage.
Ike Boone has been quite charac-
ter in baseball, not because of tenn
permanent, but for physical peculiar
tiles. He stands couple Of inches
over six feet and weighs more than
200 pounds. yet that weight is SO
distributed he doesn't look it.
Brother Also Ball Mayer
Boone is a "Gawgia' product and
he boasts brother in baseball, Dan,
who is even taller. but less hefty.
Dan took to pitching as his end of
the game, but always has been a no.
table hitter to keep up the reputa-
tion of the Boone family. Perhaps
had he made himself into regular
outficlder he might have exceeded
Ikc's record for busting them far
and often.
Ike ought to have a lot Of base
ball left in him, for he's just past
30, though his drawl and his quiet
demeanor give one the impression
that he is an older man than that.

In their relentless efforts to pro.
ducc new and more trying difficult.
ties in golf, many of the larger
country clubs annually change their
courses around, lcngtheningSor short.
cning as the case may be, to intro.
ducc new angles to the golfer.
But many of the smaller clubs are
unable to do this, owing to the heavy
expense of putting in new holes OF
new green's. Such being the case
members of country clubs in some Of
the smaller cities year in and year
out shoot the same old course dag
after day.
Their game naturally loses much,
Of its attractivcncss, owing to the
fact that the course becomes mo.
notOnous. Two short drives and q
chip to the green puts one on in
three on No. q. On No. Z one long
drive and u short pitch puts one on
On No. IL two long drives and a
brassic turns the trick. ~
The course is too we'll Known
Everything is mechanical to the cx.
trcme. And, when one never gets
to a ncighboring city to shoot over q
strange course, one wonders how he
can introduce new angles into his
game.
A system used by many who have
spent years on the same old course
is to tee off from corner Of the
green instead of walking over to the
next tee.
This system changes the course
around to great extcnts-more Sc
than one would imagine without try.
ing it out.
The traps and bunkers are differ.
emily located and the old cut-and
dried process of taking drive and
an iron. shot to the green is wiped
away.
BY driving off the corner of the
last green played, new clubs are
brought into play that otherwise
would not be used on that particu.

FUNNY EPISODE

Several years ago certain major
league club tried out "a rookie south
paw who proceeded to become SEN
satiOn overnight.
He had. plenty Of stuff but the
players realized he was lust dumb"
and that a smart baserunning club
could make plenty of trouble for him.
Opposed to the New York Giants
one day, McGraw ordered his club
to start running wild. The first bat
ter up hit safely and while the pitch
or stood on the rubber proceeded to
steal second base unn,olcsted.
When the inning was over and the
players returned to the bench, the
manager took the pitcher to task for
his dumbncss. He was rendered al
most unconscious when the rookie in
sisted he didn't know there was any
one on first base.
The manager, who had a keen
sense of humor, proceeded to handle
the rather embarrassing situation
most automatically.
Calling over the catcher, and the
members of the infield he said to
them: 81.
"Any time there are runners on
any of the bases I want you to keep
reminding this pitcher of the fact.
There mustn't be any secrets on this
ball club"

These words, however. seemed in
contrast with the cool handshakcs
after the match was over. At the
net Baron de Morpurgo and Miss
Wills shook hands warmly and Aes-
chlimann and Suzanne rather coldly
Then Suzanne and Helen reached over
the net with what seemed to be a
perfunctory handelasp. neither look

Suzanne showed marvellous tennis
and proved that she is the greatest
woman mixed doubles player that ten
mis- ever has known. Miss Wills, on
the contrary, apparently had been
neglcotfu of her doubles training
her greatest weakness being playing
the ball too high, into Suzannc's
racquet.
- Miss Wills showed to the best ad-
vantage in the second set with the
games one all. Here, with the ire
mendous burst Of speed she showed
last week ia the singles at Cannes.
she took the first game to love on
service, aceing the mighty Suzanne

TOO MANY GOLFERS STRESS VALUE
OF LONG DRIVING PROFESSIONALS
ADJUST DISTANCE TO THE COURSE

The dream Of a grca. percentage
Of golfers is to learn to drive 300
and 1875 yards. And, after watching
professionals get out such long
drives. many wonder why they can
not get the long distance in their
driving.
And yet, when it is all said and
done, lon. driving really is not ne
cessary in 0(tler to play good golf
and stay in the lower sos.
The average golf course presents
barely more than two long holes OF
the Goo yard length. Most of them
have but one such long hole.
The majority Of holes run between
800 yards and $50 yards. Those fig
urcs indicate that an. average drive
Of from 200 to $50 yards is sufficient
and that too much time need not be
spent trying to get longer drives.
lis Yards a Good Average
On the average golf course hole a
drive Of around It's yards, straight
down the fairway. should get ono
around the links close to par.
In the 4OO-yard holes, two average
drives Of 175 or 200 yards and q
mashie or chip to the green is all
that is necessary.
In!trying too long drive, the dan

gers of hooking or slicing are too
numerous to encounter. More strokes
arc wasted in trying to get the long
drive than long driving really is
worth.
When professionals shoot strange
courses they play the cards--taking
distance Of each hole from either the
card or sand box and regulating their
drives accordingly.
Pros Judge Distance
Professionals play on many n
strange course during the course Of
a year. If they tried long 800 yard
drives on every course their scores
would be embarrassing.
Their judge of distance, the ability
to throttle down to short drive of
l75 or to $50 yards, as the length Of
the hole may be, is what enables
them to often SKATER eoursc records,
even though it be their first time
around that psrticular Seourse.

WINGED that shorter and straighter

Helpful Hints by
Golfng Stars
JIM DARNES-DlSTRUST CAUSED
BY TIMING

= e.
BY TIMING
The secret Of getting distance lies
in proper timing of the stroke; that
us, to have the club-hcad travelling
at its highest speed Just as it comes
into tho ball. This speed is &C.
quircd by gradual occelcration on
the tlownswing, aided by q forward
snap of tho wrists in the path che
hands, arc travelling just before the
club head meets the ball.
Possibly you may Find a good tip in
what is frequently referred to as
hitting through the ball, by which is
meant an attempt to attain the maxi
mum speed with the club-hcad at q
spot an inch or two.in' front Of where
the ball lies. / believe the player
who tries to hit the ball very hard
rs q rule instinctively Stacks off q
little too soon; by that mean the
player who is conscious Of n hitting
attempt rather than q swim So It
might help you to try to give The
club-head its maximum speed IT q
point just beyond where the bali lies.
Many = poor player has been turned
into q good one by this plan.
need hardly tell YOU suppose,
that an average drive Of 225 yards
is good one.
