KelIy's Position Undetermined.

Without doubt Kelly is the best
right-handed first baseman in base
ball today, and vet he is anchored in
Cincinnati as a sort of cross between
q utility and a where~will-I- be next
man. The Reds have no need for him
at second base now that Hughie
Critz is playing. and no need for him
at first so long as Pipp is retained.
If the Boston Braves had Kelly to
play first base, with Bancroft at
short. Moore at second and its pres
ent third baseman. the Braves would
have a right smart BAH team. But
there isn't much chance that Boston
can get Kelly, because the Braves are
loath to give away any of their
pitchers, Of which there are many.

GOLFERS HAVE TASK
NOT TO BREAK LAW

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 28.--Erratic golfers
at the Glen Oak Country Club, where
Tom Mcnamara once won the West
ern omen title, may have a hard task
in obeying the law from now on
The club has had its property and
some surrounding farms made state
game preserve for complete protection
of birds and small animals and has
placed a flock of ducks and geese on
the pond that serves as water haZ-
ard at two short but "cantankerous'
holes. How to dub a ball into the
water without hitting a duck Is a
problem.
Golf clubs for several years have
made efforts to protect birds because
of their usefulness in destroying harm
full insects, and have built houses and
feeding racks for the winged insect
vOra. But the Glen Oak management,
learning that ducks and geese also
were helpful as we'll as picturesque
a.dornments of a pond, decided to ac-
quire q flock.
1t also was garnered from insectol-
ogy that moles and wo0dchucks ate
the harmful mites, while rabbits made
way with weeds. Some quail and
pheasant also will be placed in the
woodland.
How members will answer the game
warden in caes they top a bali into
the sconce of Mallard swimming in
the pond, or slice a drive into the mid
ribs of a rabbit browsing in the
rough, has not been determined.

II. Davis, whose story to that effect Is

The champion regards handshaking
as menace to the health of public
figures. Handshaking wrecks constt-

Harding and Roosevelt. and no Presi-
dent should participate in any demon
stration that requires him to shake
hands with a line of people. he thinks.
"No man can stand it," he said.
"The act of extending your arm and
taking a strange hand in your own,
bestowing a grip and receiving another
is the most exhausting thing in the
world"
Tunnev spoke to Davis while ad-
mirers pumped his hand and present
ed menus for his autograph at the
boxing writer's annual dinner.

'Tt would be a good deal worse if
they did not shake hands with you at

the champion answered emphatically.
He went on to say that President
Harding was so weakened with public
reception that he became easy prey TO
illness in Alaska after his trans
continental tour.
And it weakened Roosevelt, Tunney
said, even though the colonel was

If you want a close match with
your pro or some star player in
your club. the surest way to fix it
up is to arrange one whereby he is
to drive for you and you drive for
him. If you average 90 and the
star r.. you'n give him the battle
of his life. Willie MacFarlane and
a man with whom he played a
great deal did this. and MacF'ar-
lane came home with a IS against
the buffers 70.
All of which is offered as proof
that the main reason for high
scores is faulty driving. If you
can pound them down the fatrWay
every time, you'll take a tremen-
dous number Of strokes off your
score. Say what you will. good
driving 'is bigger stroke saver
than good putting.
Willie Farlaue, former open
champion, is a good driver. a
point about his game worth imitat-
ing is his downswing start. His
hands pull the club down to the
lower point shown in the iilustra
tion without any body turn or
movement. As n result, he strikes
the ball as in figure /, with the
club at .ght angles to the line of
fight. If one gets the body into
the downsWing too soon, his hands
precede the clubhead at contact
figure p and a slice results, Don't
rush the body into your down
stroke.

continued the fight, when he was

he would not have signed q contract

Tt may not have occurred to the
Cincinnati club that in losing Roush
it also was losing about 90 per cent
of its outfield defense, all of which
made the Cincinnati pitchers look
good. Pitchers can be made good or
bad as much by the presence or 20
sence Of outtield strength as by
strength or lack Of it in the infield.
Kelly has been having hard time
getting started in Cincinnati because
he has been threatened with appendi-

thing that has helped to keep him
back is the fact that he is not play
