CHANGES
MADE
By ROSS coNKLIN

After watching one of the
stiffest fields of Eastern golf
professionals ever assembled here
fail to shatter par or register
par consistently, officers Of the
Burning Tree Golf Club decided
that their 18 holes were stiff
enough. They still stick by that
finding and the course this spring
viii be the same that the MEM
bers knew last fall.
Ralph Beach, club professional,
who has been in Florida all winter
as the golfing tutor of Edward
B. Mclean, has just returned to
the city, and it is very probable
that he will decide on q few irn-
provements in the fairways. The
greens are satisfactory and with
the rest and recuperation that
they have received over the winter
months should be in fine condi-
ton.
Prominent professionals who
played at Burning Tree in the
Middle Atlantic Open proclaimed
the course among the best in
the East; Leo Diegel, Johnny Far
rel, Al Cuici, Cyril Walker and
other leaders were tickled with
the course and its sporty appear

make the leaders watch every
shot carefully.

just why. no one knows, for
the reason that the members OF
the club had their troubles max
ing the grade as IL was. The
first, second, third, fifth, eighth
and ninth holes are being sub
Jected to . bunkering process.
On some of those holes the old
bunkers and traps are being re-
made while on others new ones are
being added. The sixth will have
two new traps to confound the club
swingers, and the fifth will have
couple just for fun.
Argyle has been in use all win
ter and is in real playing condition
now It Is true that the course is
bit soft, but that Is to be ex-
pected. and only one course is
really in summertime condition
Washington That is true because
of the nature of the ground, which
runs the water off quickly.
With the formal opening of the
golf season just couple Of weeks

perk up. The clubs are getting
cleaned, pros are drifting back from
the South, and the grass Is just
starting to show up green.
Even the golf statesmen in the
stores are getting rid Of that ema-
ciated appearance. They are far
from being the Hstless young men

11-George Herman Ruth has
sense Of responsibility and q
conscience, after all. The big boy
has proved It here this spring,
setting q pace in hard work. that
even the most enthusiastic rookie
has trouble in following. And the
Babe is looking great as q result.
There's one thing to be said for
the Yankee bad boy. He reforms
just as enthusiastically as he sins.
and at this particular moment the
! reform movement has assumed the
proportions of an engulfing tidal
wave.
The systematic training Ruth
followed during the winter has
taught him one thing. He has
learned to care for himself in
scientific fashion. His methods
are no longer haphazard.
Right now he weighs 200 stripped.
His muscles are as hard az nails,
his eye clear and his mind free
from worry and misapprehension
To say that Ruth would break his
former home run record would be
foolish. Probably he won't. But
he will be much improved ball
player this year none the less-and
unless the unforeseen happens. he's
due for a great season.
As important as any physical
change is his improved mental at
titude. In other years Ruth has
been just Ruth, individualist in
style and attitude.
This season he seems to realize
for the first time that he is a mem
Der of ball club, and that there
are eight other players to be con-
sidered and helped. The ''I' has
his speech. I'VE" has supplanted 1t.
In his workouts the Babe has
been exceptionally enthusiastic.
He is the first man out to the
park in the morning, the last one
to leave in the evening. And he
works hard every minute. Satur-
day, for instance, he got Charley
O'Leary to hit fungOes to him,
and he spent more than 40 nit.
utes chasing fly balls over Pinollas

make me run for EN-" the
Babe would shout, and Charley
would do just that-finally Ruth
came to the clubhouse wet with
perspiration and glowing with
health.
His hitting is good, too. The old
Ruthian swing is still there and his
eye apparently is as keen as ever.
Most of this week he mas spent
perfecting a swing for tbs left field
hitting.
"Tm out after those base hits
this year." he explained. "And
If / can learn to hit to left field.
as well as right, I'll have all the

the club. There have been times
when Ruth hasn't been particularly
popular with his associates. But
there isn't a man.jack on the club
today that isn't pulling for him 20
make a glorious comeback.
So far as any pennant talk is
concerned-that seems a bit far
fetched. But, in the case of the
Bad Bambino you can go as far
as you like. His innoculation with
the reform germ apparently has
taken beautifully.

looks as though it might put up
