The feud between Ban johnson.
Fiery Prexy of the junior circuit,
and the mild but firm Judge Ian.
dis, dates back six years. Since
then several heady flareups have
threatened to remove one or the
other from his high position in
baseball. But each time mediators
managed a conciliatory peace,
The. present crisis was precipi.
tated by the Cobb-Speaker scandal,
which broke" short time after
the widely advertised harmony
meeting of major league officials, at
which Lands and Johnson were
photographed, arm in arm, a
veritable Damon and Pythias.
After the Cobb.Speaker ex-
pIOsiOn set the public to asking
lot Of questions no one
seemed inclined to answer,
Johnson broke a long silence
with the charge that Commits
sioner Lands alone was re-
spOnsibIe for cl0uding the
escutcheOns OF Cobb and
Speaker. and that he was try.
ing to "pass the buck" to the
American League.
Lands countered by summoning
major league officials to meet with
him here Monday, when he promises
to thresh out the whole matter to a
bitter finish. Johnson met that
move by calling a meeting Of
American League directors for the
Sunday before. At this meeting
American League officials will de-
eide whether or not they will attend
the Lands hearing.
Tt looks like merry session

was taken to mean that the Amer.

NEW YORK. Jan. 19.--Reports
were in circulation today that the
name Of Edward q. Barrow, busi-
ness manager OF the New York
Yankees, would be advanced as a
candidate for Ban Johnson's office
when the American League mag.
mates convene on Monday to con-
slider Johnsot's most recent tack
on the regime Of Judge Lands.
The story had its inception in
this city where johnson succe eded
in alternating Col. Jacob Rupert,
president Of the Yankees, by his
subsequent statement that he, John.
son. had his suspicious OF the in
tegrity Of the 1922 world series. { in
which the Yankees were a par.
ticipant.
Until that statement had ap-
peared. RUPERT had expressed :,
no opinion on the Landis-JOhn.
son question beyond saying that
he was "tired Of the whole
thing" Z
Today, however, he issued a blast
at johnson, declaring that he would
back Lands ito the limit" even ID
the extent Of forcing Johuson's
resignation as president of the
American League. Rupert added
that he considered Johnson's at
tack on Lands a direct violation
of the major league agreement Of
1920 and Of the club owners
promise to Lands in December,
1924. of an effective gag on john
sons utterances.

Let us first consider the two
handed putting grip. In this
the two hands are brought as
closely as possible to each other
but avoid overlapping or inter-
locking in any way. l,llaVe seen
them an inch or more apart, but
in this case one hand Is likely to
work against the other. In this
grip one hand should govern the
other and the second hand acting
more as q steadying Influence.
The Washington times., 1927-01-19

Then there Is the interlOcking
grip. This can best be accom-
pIished by using the first two !,
fingers that touch when you
take a grip and interl0cking
them. The greatest American
putteF, was Walter j. Travis.
He puts the tOreflnger Of the
left hand on the little one Of
the right, thus leaving the
right hand in full possession Of
the grip. He believes that put
ting should always. be done
with one hand. /:
Once Harold Hilton throughout
a tournament putted with one hand.
Kirkaldy saw him and said
God did not give US two hands
for one to be kept. in a pocket
while the putting was being. done. :,

I In this grip the thumbs are usual
ly straight down the shaft. know
hardly a single good prtter who
puts him thumbs around the slaft.
Sometimes those who putt well put
the thumbs to one side or crook
them a bit but never all. the way
round so that the club might slip
back and forth in the crotch.
Then there is the overlapping
grip in which one or more fingers
of one hand overlaps those OF the
other. Il three or four fingers are
overlapped then. in my opinion. 1t is
permissible to put the thumb OF
the Overlapping hand around the
shaft for you are making an abso'
lutely one.handed putt, II you
putt better with your right hand

right little finger and If you do

LITTLE GIRL DIED FROM
INJURY IN AUTO WRECK
NEAR MAINE THURSDAY

Muriel, four and half years old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Kuy-
kendall Of Santa Ana, Calf, died at
Mercy hospital, Flagstaff, Wednesday
night, from fearful injuries received
in the wrecking of the family car
at four that afternoon about two miles
this side of Maine.
Mr. and Mrs. Kuykendall and three
children were on their way from
Santa Ana to Denver Mr.. Kuyken-
dali was driving at a moderate rate
of speed and the car left the road on
the reverse curve. The car turned
over. Mrs. Kuykendall received a
fracture of the pelvic bones, which
necessitates her confinement in the
hospital for some time.
Joe P. Wilson and Clarence Kunz-
man Of Flagstaff, on their way to
Prescott, came upon the wreck short
ly after the accident and brought the
family to Mercy hospital
The little girl was operated on
about seven o'clock. Something, be-
lieved to be the emergency brake, or
broken glass, had pierced her left side
through the spleen and into the lungs.
The injury was SO extensive that
nothing could be done to save the little
patients life. Death occurred at 10:45
that night.
The body of the little girl, who was
affectionately nicknamed Bubbles"
by her parents, will be sent to Santa
Ana this afternoon.
The two older children, both girls,
were only slightly hurt. Mr.. Kuy-
kendall was not injured
