TRIBE HAS TALENT
YANKS MIGHT LIKE
Champs Would Bolster Box
Corps After Letting
Out Two Vets.
By JOHN n. FOSTER.

n JEW YORK. November 29.--
N Evidently under the impress
" sion that they have plenty of
4 strength to win another pen
nant i'm 1928. the New York
Yankees have dropped Bob Shawkey
and Dutch Ruether from their list
Of pitchers. No doubt the Yanks are
figuring on some trades later. but
they are convinced that they will get
Il lot of good pitching from the re-
manning old-timers and the young re.
cruits.
Shawkey is the type of pitcher who
can so into a class AA league and
pitch good ball. His delivery is apt
TO battle the hatters who are Just a
little weaker than those of the Amer
lean League. He has wide sweep
ing curve and a round arm motion
/ that is enough to confuse a natter
before the ball leaves the hand of
the pitcher.
Ruether pitched some good ball for
The Yanks in 1927. The trouble with
him is too much physical alment.
He breaks down every now and then,
and often when his services are most
needed by his team He never has
been Il good world series pitcher since
his first trial in Cincinnati. when
he won a game against the Chicago
/ White Sox. His only world series
game with the Yankees was pitched
in st. Louis in 1926 and he did not
pitch at the same tempo as the other
New York pitchers
There is an impression in the East
that some of the Cleveland pitchers
may be traded or sold before the
1928 season begins However Cleve-
land has not selected new mana ger
| as yet. and until he Is named II
/ Will not be easy to figure on the
plans of the team.
No American League team is better
| fit to make changes in it's pitching
| staff than Cleveland. The Indians
have some young pitchers who should
be stars in the future if they get the
right training, and the club can spare
some of the older pitchers better than
other teams of the circuit. If Cleve.
| land could get some of the young in
fielding material on the New York
team and the Yankees could get some
of the Cleveland pitchers. it would he
pretty fair swap-eXcep. that any
thing that is obtained by the Yanks
will seem to make the team all the
stronger for the 1928 season. :
The Yanks have notion that
Henry Johnson will pitch well for
them next season. Johnson was tried
with the team and then sent out to
work for a days wages and learn
more about control
Hoyt. Pennock and Shocker are still
retained by the New Workers. The
great white hope is George PipSras.
The fine showing of that young man
in the 1927 season and during the
world series was particularly respon-
sible for the dropping of Shawkey.
Manager Huggins needed another
sure-fire right-hander. and figures that
he has found that person i'm Pipgras
There is also Wiley Moore 10 count
upon, and Myles Thomas may pitch
better in 1928 than he did last season.
Giard will get work enough to show
whether he can ever obtain control,
and there are some kids whose fate
will be settled in the Spring training
camp.

Florida open, in a foursome OF

Playing in foursomes is bad prac-

and Cyril was taking his time.

Cyril holed the putt. Then he

'If old age doesn't get you first
said Gene. And the incident was
closed.
But Walker, as / found out later.
was afflicted with a severe stomach
trouble which was keeping his
nerves ragged. and this was the
main reason for his painful slow
ness and preparation for each shot.
He finished in fortieth place in the
national open that year at Skollie,

IL YOU were to drop q plumb
nose when he prepares to putt. the
plumb itself would come mighty
near to touching the ground at
the spot where his club is to make
contact with the ball. In other
words, Bobby's eyes are right over
the ball and the line of the putt
This is a marked feature of the
stance of most great putters. Why?
Most of us have played pool or
billiards. In order to stroke the
cue ball to the object ball we do
not look Mt the object ball as we
play. We stroke the cue ball
along an imaginary line that we
have previously decided is the right
one. But our range of vision is
confined solely to that line. So it
is with putting.
The late Walter ]. Travis often
told me that he took no chances
remembering this line. because he
selected a certain blade of grass
just in front of his ball on this
line and stroked the ball over this
blade. All good putters keep the
line in their mind. remember the
distance. do not move the body and
stroke the ball straight along this
line.
One of the striking weaknesses
of a great woman golfer in Amer
lea who has not recently won a
national championship is her putt
ing. She fails to get her eyes over
the line of the putt. She plays the
ball off from some distance in front.
Her putting has been her most
noticea BILE weakness. Next. putt
ers themselves will he discussed.

Young Canadian base bail players
should be bobbing up in the major
leagues in the next few years, for the
hackers of the new Montreal club of
the International League will make
a determined effort to bring out some
youngsters from the Dominion.
Montreal is surrounded by a lot of
amateur base bali and number of
small leagues in which all the play
ers are Canadian born. If the Mon
treal club goes forward with the sue
cess expected of it Canadian players
may be developed who will make
their regulations in major league
base ball by and by. The Toronto
club never has done much to bring
out young Canadian players because
the team has been content to go along
with the help of major league
optional players.
Judging by the plans made for
Montreals new club. the national
game at last is to be given more
than bush league recognition in the
metropolis of Quebec. The new con-
crete stadium will be built during the
Winter, despite the rigors Of the Can
adian climate, but it will he built of

Shaughnessy is chairman of the exec
utive committee and the directors are
men of importance in the city. The
new club will not be operated as a
market for trading and speculating
in players, but will try to develop a
winning team. Previous administra-
tions of base ball in Montreal were
more or less enterprises to make deals
for players with clubs in the United
States
