Well sir, 1t certainly Is re-
freshing to reflect over some
baseball news which doesn't
smatter of sensationalism, un.
less you consider $4,000 an ex.
traordinary amount of money
to pay an athlete with the rep
utation of Rogers Hornsby, for
six months. work!
With Rogers name on the
broken line, the winter of base
ball discomfort seems to have
somewhat reached a state of
normalcy, so far as personnel
is concerned. Eight new man.
ayers have been commissioned
since the close of actual hos
tilities last fall and all of the
deposed pilots who expect to
continue in the business have
found themselves berths in one
capacity or another for the en-
suing season.
Within eight weeks now, the
1927 entries will be in their
training camps and within an
other five weeks the season it
self will be under way.
There may be many ways of
looking at the Hornsby negotia-
tons, but there seems to be an
opinion hereabouts that Horns
by has considerably bettered his
prospects for the future by the
stand he took with Sam Brea-
don.
Hornsby is in a town now
where he will be appreciated
by the club owners as we'll as
the fans. If he has anything
like as sustained a record for
excellence of play in New York
as he did along the Mississippi
flats, he will go right to the
top Of the salary scale with
Babe Ruth and if the present
top isn't lofty and dizzy enough
for Hornsby, then they'll ele,
vate it for him.
True, he undoubtedly failed to
get the $4,000 in New York
that he was holding out for
in st. Louis, but if there's any
city in either circuit chat will
pay for it's baseball performers,
once their caliber is established,
it is Little Old New York.
If Hornsby isn't shot, as. the
boys say of ball players who
begin to slow up, he'll get his
Fifty Thou" and he won't be
a gray. haired old second base
man when he does. He's just
81, which is not the slowing up
age in baseball any more.
Meanwhile the Giants have a
baseball character fully as color
full as the highly-tinted Babe
Ruth, which means a box-office
attraction, or a turnstile mag
net, second to, none. Hornsby
and Ruth poled one of the big
gest world series gates ever re-
corded in last falls classic,
an event in which they were
the advertised principals.
Their pulling power is I'M
questioned, collectively or sep.
arately. Hornsby will not. be
long earning back that $40, 600
for the Giants, and he shouldn't
be long earning more than that
for himself! He will yet get his
$4,000 a year.

Follow Through
Should Be
Full Up
By Charles (Chick) Evans, j.

The condition in front after ball
is hit is one perhaps described as
doubling and finishing well up. Bear
in mind always that this movement
necessarily necessitates completing
the shots, and your thoughts.
The follow through should be full
up and not out a one-sixteenth of an
inch too short on even a three-quar-
ters of follow through nor show
ing a neglect of the last six inches
even If you are just practicing.
Finish your shot by thinking
of a little farther finish. Please
avoid q stiff rounded follow
through. Follow through with
your hands and wrists and not
your body.
The body will follow naturally.
You should stand up almost straight
at the finish facing the hole.
Now try the whole swing, feel the
completed rhythm, the music of the
stroke. Swing up. swing down
rhymically. You should not follow
through yourself. You want to have
a relaxed condition in front.
You should remember that the
front half Of the" stroke should be
approximately. identical to the back
half. The patient golfer is the one
who succeeds.
Don't hurry and swing easily
are two fine rules. Never get
out of comfort il possible. The
hands should make the same
sort of curve to the left of the
vertical line up from the ball to
the zenith as they do to the
right of 1t. / urge you again
to keep your eye OH the ball
and watch the way your are

Try each shot hard! Think out
every shot and don't hit them when
sou are out of comfort and rhythm
Think Of swinging and hitting
Remember all the principles! We
have spoken much about relaxation
and of firmness and Of tightness
and medium condition--that is what
you want. Seem loose and seem

purse of 81 900 or more. 49,
Albert Gardner. the Convention
Hall manager was named as their
representative"
The challenge was made public to-
day but it was issued informally in
Brooklyn shortly after the intercity
matches between the Convention
Hall Stars and the Brooklyn
Orpheums.
Gardner 1roached> the matter TO
Phil Spinella, the Orpheum chieftan,
who gave a keen ear but withheld
Judgment temporarily insofar as his
bowlers were concerned.
The BrOOI1lynites were thor.
oughly interested, largely for the
reason that the challenge opened
a way for them possibly to get
back some Of the long green

the Convention Hall Stars and =
their supporters.
Wolstenholme and Campbell, roll
ing against professional bowlers,
gave the Brooklynites an exhibition
that will be remembered for spell.
Wolstenholme, in the regularly
scheduled intercity singles, con-
quered the pride of Brooklyn: the
famous Barney Spinella, who set
several records in the Washington
end of the series.
Campbell, paired with Red Me-
gaw, fellow King Primer, mopped
up Barney and Mort Lindsey in the
doubles. But that wasn't all. A
series OF impromptu matches sol-
lowed the Brooklyn.Wa Washington
championship contests.
Campbell was the big gun in
these. After Megaw had polished
off Phil Spinella in three-game
set, Campbell went to the firing
line with Mort Lindsey, shooting
rubber-banded pins, game in
which Washington sharpshooters
were supposed to be at a disad-
vantage.
Lindsey is rated among the coun'
try's elite in, all styles of bowling.
He had many willing hackers when
he and Campbell were matched.
And so had Campbell.
Campbell whipped Lindsey in
a three.game set and Mort came
right back for more. He got it.
A third match was arranged at
Lindsey's request. A third time

bell for Washington. bore the brunt
Of competition in the unofficial
matches, until Lindsey finally was
forced to admit defeat. Then Brook
lyn trotted out that brilliant. valiant
little stake shooter, Barney Spinella.
Campbell had rolled 10 games, in.
cluding the regular matches, by
the time he got around to the in.
dividual clash with Barney, and
figured to be worn down. Yet he
continued to roll with great &C.
kuracy.
