~ UR1NG the last few years it
has become apparent to me
that the little army of golf
Minute Men who write about
the game actually add more to
il in suggestions for improvements
than do the widely heralded star play
ers l cannot recall a single striking
thing added to the sport by any of
the playing celebrities unless 1t could
he the recent furry Of publicity about
George Duncan's discovery of back
and,forth hip action in the swing-a
principle projected to golfers in my
articles some two years ago.
And now from one of the golf
writer's comes another putting idea
which involves principle so helpful
that the wonder of it is somebody
didn't think of it long ago. A Detroit
golf enthusiast has just given me the
detail of this method and informs me
it was invented by l.. +. DrukenbrOd,
the golf expert of the Detroit Free
Press.
Drukenbrod, che adds, not only plays
very fine game of golf but thinks
construetively of the sport all the
time. Perhaps this is the reason these
writer's come forth with these sugges.
tions for golfers-they are thinking
of the game all the time as sport
and pastime for golfers generally. not
for their own individual scores.
Drukenhrod's method of putting is
the best rhythm producer for the put
ting stroke haye ever seen.
In the back swing he goes Mac
Donald Smith one better. AS he starts
back with the blade he lets it go a
few inches, where he stops 1t, let's 1t
| swing just slightly back toward the
ball, then he starts back with it again
and this time finishes the stroke.
That produces a wavy action--a
| complete flow of rhythm in the back
swing. I have tried this myself and
/ recommend it unhesitatingly. This
| method will help any putter on earth,
without doubt. 1t produces just the
thing that many players lack when
| they putt--that freedom and ease of
action with the blade; in plain terms,
rhythm and completeness Of stroke.
| BY the latter I mean stroking the
| blade clear through the ball instead
of just forward to the ball.
never heard of anything in putting
like this before and undoubtedly this
| is an original contribution to the sport
by this golf writer. 1t is an oppor-
tunity for service to be able to pass

M'TIGUE WINS FIGHT,
BUT SHOWS POORLY

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 10.-A ten'round
decision over Pat Mccarthy of Boston
was added today to the lengthy fight
ing record of Michael 'Methuselah"
McTigue, contender for the world light
heavyweight championship which he
once held.
The victory at Madison Square Gar
den last night was marred and slowed
by constant clinching. as both boxers
hesitated to come out in the open and
mix it up.
The veteran fought a canny defen-
sive battle through the first five
rounds, then opened the throttle wide
enough to pile up a safe point total.
The fire and punching power he
showed in recent bouts with Berien-
bach and Sharkey were conspicuously
absent.
Occa sionally near the end of the
fight McTigne nailed his foe with a
stinging right and drove him to cover,
but it was not enough to still con-
stant chorus Of boos and eatcalls from
| the gallery.
For McTigue the LATHE was a tryout
| for the coveted title bout with De-
| laney. The judge of whether he quail
| flied will be Tex Rickard, who holds
l the keys to the match.

BY JOHN b. KELLER.

~HIcAGo,, May 1o.-When
Bucky Harris brought his
Nationals out Of Florida early
~ last month ne thought he
had in Stanley Coveleskie,
Alvin Crowder and George Murray
three pitchers who would prove of
much value TO his club.
True, a sore hip had been bothering
Covey, Crowder had been suffering
with a stomach ailment and Murray
had not been able TO rid himself of all
his superfuous avoirdupois, but the
Washington manager figured these
three fellows would round into form
quickly and help give him fairly
strong mound corps. Now il seems
that Harris was all wrong in his
figuring and that this trio will not
mean much to the Nationals for some
time, If ever.
The record OF these three pitchers
? to date reveal clearly just how in
effective they have been on the hill.
r Perhaps the greatest disappointment
has been Crowder. For Harris and
other officials of the Nationals regard.
ed this purchase from Birmingham
a sure.fire slab artist after his exhibit
tions with the club during the latter
part of last season. But Crowder has
y
failure this season.
Figures Tell the Story.
AL has started four times and
pitched but one complete game. That
was against the Red Sex In the first
series of the campaign. Since then
he has done little else than go 10 the
slab and make matters easy for the
opposition. In Crowder's case the
cold figures tell the story. In 262s
innings he has allowed Is earned
rurs, an average of SOS runs per
nine-inning game. That's not big
league pitching by long shot.
Crowder has yielded 20 hits, issued
pitch and committed a balk, He has
since the season got under way, and
/, Crowder generally has been at his
worst after seemingly being in con.
troll of the situation. Several times
after getting two out in an inning he
has fallen and let the opposition walk
AL over him.
Just what is the trouble with
-Crowder no one connected with the
club seems to know. He declares ha
Is feeling good and that he has got
ten rid of all the stomach trouble
that annoyed him so much during the
latter part of the training season.
. But he certainly is not pitching the
bra nd of ball that reasonably was eX-
pected of him this year.
The nature Of Covey's trouble is
being kept deep dark secret by those
in direct charge of the club. One time
he has sore hip, another time he
withdraws from a game voluntarily
because he has developed a kink In
his salary wing, still another time the
weather was not quite right for the
