Development Brings Changes.

The rapid development of the game
in recent years is largely responsible
for these changes. The demand for
increased production, because of the
great army that now play the game,
has been so strong that inventive
genius has devised mechanical short
cuts to quantity production. SO gen
uine handmade clubs are exceedingly
rare. There still are those who
learned the trade in their earlier

This change doesn't mean that

added.
Moon Hit .313 Last Year.
Last year Joe Harris batted at a
3l3 clip in l0S games. while Tobin
hit for .301 in q engagements In
the Spring training games this year
Joe has walloped the ball at .615
rate. having made hits in l3 trips
TO the plate. In yesterdays game
re batted for Kelley in the ninth
inning and made the longest drive of
the day, only to be retired by ZitZ-
mann's sensational catch. The Red
center fielder was standing at the
edge of the clipped grass and ran
far back into the brush to drag down
the sphere. Such a drive in Clark
Griffith Stadium would have cleared
the center field barrier.
Roger Peckinpaugh, shortstop of
the Nationals last year, voted the most
valuable player TO club in the
yesterday for the first time this
season. He had two chances afield.
One was a putout in which he took
a short throw from Bucky Harris
tor forced play. The. other. a roller
tapped by Pinch Batter Red Lucas,
he fooled. At bat the Rajah popped
TO short in his first effort. but dropped
Texas Lacquer into left field the
next time up. Peck seemed sprightly'
enough for him on the base paths.
but little can be told of his work
around the short field until he has
more to do.
Johnson Shows Good Form.
Johnson appeared to splendid advan-
tage in his first start Of the year. The
big fellow pitched smoothly. and while
he was nicked for six hits in his three
innings. half of them were decidedly
f1ukey. and another bingle was made
by batter who was endeavoring to
dodge a pitch. Alex Ferguson in the
next three innings. did we'll until he
had two men out in the sixth. Then
he lost his control and the Reds staged
rally that proved decisive.
Harry Kelley toed the slab for the
performed most impressively. He
pitched to only 10 batters. yielding but
two safeties. The youngster seems to
have perfected a fast ball at last. for
he mixed several such deliveries with
his knuckle ball most effectively.
The Nationals banged the ball on
the nose. but the jinX that has pur-
sued them in most of these training
games again was on the job. FIRE.
0ue0tiV ,ronI SOlid c,pa chaS went right
to opposing tielders. In the eighth
frame, after Ossie Bluege had driven
in their second run with a screaming
line triple to center and Myer had
walked. Benny Tate crashed a liner
toward left that looked good for at
least two bases. but Third Sacker
Pinelli of the Reds leaped high for
one-hand stab and dropped on the far
corner that Bluege had left, to COM
plete a double play. 1t was startling

The work around the shop and the
course kept me busy in steady grind
but six years Of apprenticeship back
home had fitted me for d pretty thor
oughly. and this applied not only &c
work around the shop, but out on the
golf course as well. Things are quite
different today. IT is different not
only with the young fellows starting
out here, but back on the other side
too.
Progress all along the line in the
development Of the game has brought
about most Of the changes. In the old
days, nearly all clubs were made by
hand. This applied to both wooden
and iron clubs. heads as we'll as shafts
Iron club heads were hand hammered
right in the shop, and wooden heads
were sawed and cut by hand out of
rough blocks that came in something
like an L-shape, except the upright
part was somewhat larger than a
right angle to provide about the right
lie for the club.
Clubmaking an Art.
These blocks were something like
two and half inches thick and about
four inches wide. From them we had
to saw and cut the blocks down. tC

Job Under those conditions club-mak
ing was an art. and the player who
finally used the club got the rea
handmade article. The shafts came
in square strips and had to be cut and
dressed down entirely by hand.
Nowadays the blocks for clubheads
are turned on a lathe. a"d are pretty
well shaped when the club maker gets
them. The shafts have been turned
round. and it is a fairly simple task tc

it into the shope to make up into

thought this trick was nothing short
of remarkable; the very idea of TAX

never seen anything like it, and the

Speed In General

In addition, however, to this com

ICES how little time is actually saved
by excessive speed. The difference
between a safe speed and an unsafe
speed produces amazingly small re.
suits when computed in terms oi
minutes.
At 80 miles an hour, which may be
considered a reasonably safe speed
in the open country and is usually
permitted by all constituted authori-
ties, the mOtorist may cover a
stretch of 10 miles in 20 minutes; by
endangering his own life, to say
nothing of the lives of all the other
users of the highway, by averaging
so miles an hour, he may cover the
same distance in IL 2-5 minutes,
saving of 8. 3-5 minutes, or gain of
approximately so seconds for every
mile, in which the motorist faces in
stant death, either for himself or for
some one else.
In city traffic man may cover a
mile at the rate of Is miles an hour,
which is the speed usually permitted
in municipalities, in minutes; by
his average speed to rs
miles an hour, over crossings and
traffic, with the undertake
eTs establishment or the hospital
for him at every turn of
the wheels, he may cover the dis
tance in 21s minutes, a saving of
exactly minute end half. 1t is not
worth it, friends and fellow-country-
men. Even III the utmost press of
modern life, it is emphatically not
worth it.

The attribute of automobiles which
psclpally justifies their existence
renders to the public which
5 them a compensating return
the trouble and expense which
Reir ownership entails may be sum-
up in one word-"speed." The
fity with which the automobile
transport human beings from
N point to another has made a
s1ong step toward eliminating that
dimension which has in the past
most strictly limited human activi-
ties, viz, distance. The elimination
of distance by speed may, therefore,
be said to be the peg upon which the
whole mighty automobile industry
has been hung, and has contributed
more toward simplifying the COM
plicated needs of modern life than
probably any other single instru-
mentality. Speed per Sc, therefore,
cannot be subjected to criticism. 1t
has fully justified itself, and, regard
ed apart from a number of unnec-
essary evils which have been blamed
upon it, deserves a high measure OF
public gratitude. If it were not for
accidents no one could possibly have |
a word to say against it. But accl-
dents and speed are fortunately not
inseparable; they come into danger.
GUS proximity only under one set OF
circumstances, which is unreason-
able speed under the circumstances.
Here is the vital point in highway
safety and in the safe and pleasur-
able operation of an autopobile, and

t1ted authority must and will be

With Ruth Martinez and Betty
HubbelI, however, It was an en-
tirely different story Their match
was played at IL o'clock, while the
heat, was intense. Mrs. Martinez
started off by raIsing in the first
set easily, 6-2. Then Miss Hubbell
stepped up and led Al in the next
bracket. Ruth came through and
collected three IN a, row, dropped
one to Betty and then accounted
for two more. The score went 6-6
and Betty whose game seemed to
flourish as the heat grew worse,
lead her opponent 7-6. BY this time
the two players were actually
staggering around the court. The
side-liners were plenty grateful
when Mrs. Martinez ended 1t all
by ringing up the remaining three
games necessary to complete the
set.
Both OF these ladies play very
interesting games. Miss Hubbell
is perhaps steadier but Mrs. Mar
