Hall Is Creator of Distance With Golf Club
BY o. Ii. KELLER


~ HARL1E HALL. champion OF
the Southeastern p. G. A.. for
many years professional at
the Country Club of Birming-
ham. Ala. and one of the
half dozen longest hitters in golf to-
day-many we'll informed persons
regard him as the longcst--is one
who takes his extraordinary powers
with the wood clubs as rather mat
ter of course.
I made a study Of his driving
some years ago. aided by photog-
raphy, and, / think. aScertained the
secret of his amazing range. But
that. as Mr.. Kipling says. is another
story, We may have it some day.
/ think, however. that the shot
Charlie is most proud of was played
back in 1920. at the Roebuck Coun-
try Club course. Birmingham. in a
match in which Charlie and the late
Douglas Edgar we're pitted against
Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, the
foursome thus being an all-Engllsn
affair. / know Harry himself praised
the shot, and the Old Master was
never given to loose laudation.
The ninth hole at Roebuck Is 600
yards long and uphill all the way;
probably it is the longest playing
hole in the world Ted Ray, HIM
self famous slugger. and Charlie
had been having sort OF driving
contest all day, and Charlie was out
ranging the big Engllshman. They
were far head of the others regu-
larry though Edgar and Vardon were
doing quite their share before the
balls were holed out.
From the ninth tee Charlie was
out with so powerful a drive that
after the others had played their
second shots he was inspired to at
tempt an impossible feat-he put all
he had into huge brassie shot in
the effort to get home in two.
The big shot was showed out and
wound up about 100 yards from the
green and in a singularly unfavor-
hives, fortunately not inhabited.
Edgar, Charles partner. failed to
stop his third shot. pitch. on the
sloping. fast green. and Ray also
failed to reach the green. but Vardon
was well on with l0-foot putt tor
a birdie 4. which seemed certain to
win the hole.
Charlie studied the situation. The
distance. 100 yards, was a difficult
one Apparently he could not hit
the ball with his mashie-niblick
firmly enough to apply the maxi
mum of backspin and it was too
much for nlblick pitch. Yet any
kind Of a pitch-and-run shot would
be virtually certain to be thrown far
off line by the slope on which such
a shot must land
Charlie elected TO shoot for the
pin and. using short and compact
swing. he hit the ball hard, knocking
it down. as the saying is. with ter
rifle emphasis. SO that the blade OF
the club almost stopped IN the turf
The ball came up fairly buzzing with
hackspin dropped a foot in front OF
the pin. spun around the hole like a
top and. after nearly dropping in
stopped dead for 4. It did not
bounce at all; it seemed made OF

By SOL METZGER.

Gene Sarazen, former open cham
pion. who recently won two open
tournaments within the span OF one
week at Miami. Fla, puts with his
right arm resting lightly against his
right leg. He is no exception IN this.
About every golfer who puts well
does the same thing. The purpose
is 70 prevent the arms from wob-
bling. Any movement by the putter.
other than the actual playing Of the
stroke. would affect the putt and
probably spoil it, Outside Of the
muscles he actually uses TO putt he
must and does remain as still during
the entire putt as figure Of bronze.
The art OF putting makes the shot
different from any other in golf. The
main difference between the putt
and all other shots is that the putt
lis played With overspin. hence IL Is
stroked Off the left heel: whereas all
other shots. including the drive. are
played for carry. The faces Of these
clubs. even the driver. are built at
various lofts TO aid in this carry,
and for the more exaggerated carry
shots. the pitches the ball Is played
OF the right heel.
Another difference is that the
arms and body move In all other
shots. In putting they do not move.
The matter Of stroking the ball Is
done in another way.

25 YEARS OF BAN JOHNSON
By John b. Foster.


The National League soon began to
realize that something would have to
be done to put an end to the rows
that were taking place all too often on
the Polo Grounds in New York. In Gin
c:nnati. in Brooklyn. in ST. Louis ana
OH other fields of the league So the
owners passed a resolution giving Pull
liam power to enforce discipline. Then
the fur began to fly i'll the National
League. and Ban johnson looked on
and laughed and said They had to
come to 1t. but they should have start
ed 1t before their players got away
from them"
Nothing pleased Johnson more than
to speak of the loyal manner In which
his owners and PLAYERS supported hun.
even If he had to club them TO 1t early
in his administration. But he dubbed
them successfully and never flinched
when he undertook to use the hludgcon.
None felt it more often than Tv Cob
and johnson was as ready to discipline

johnson was also persistent fighter
against gamblers and gambling ele-
mentS. He cleaned out bunch OF
them. but as the petty gambler tries
to get his grip on base ball all OF the
time. he must be watched all OF the
time
johnson made his greatest f>~t
against the gamblers when he brt/.sht
the crooked ball players of the Chicago
White Sox to book following the fixed"
world series of 1919 The American
League president never relinquished tn"
task OF trying to ascertain who was
principal In the transaction that put
black mark on the 1919 series. He
undoubtedly believed that the man be-
hind the scenes was gambler in New

versant with the facts, but he could
not get the connecting link to estab-
lish whether all the money used III

A storm Of discussion has ragged Up
and down the Pacific Coast ever since
Zamloch first made hts proposal that
the batter be given his option Of run

the bases are clear. Zamloch holds
that under the present rules right
handed batter is penalized b- being
required TO run 10 first base.
"A right-handed hitter. first OF oil,
stands on the side of the plate away
from first. giving the 'eft-handed bat
ter an initial advantage" explains
Zamloch. Then. after ne has hit the
ball. the momentum OF the swing car
ries him little farter 20 the left
and ne must recover his balance before
he ran start for first The result L
that the left-handed batter can beat
out many hits that rIgat-nandec ait
ter is sure 10 be called out on"
The California coach's proposal re-
qures that as long as man Is letr
on the bases, all succeeding bate
must run in the same direction that r
is running until the bases are clear.
Then the next batter. facing empty
bases. has his choice OF running 20

IN AN JOHNSON made definite and
l. valuable contributions to base
ball during his long term i'll
H. Office as president Of the
American League. Aside from
great influence that he asserted over
MAJ or league base ball in a construc-
tive and business way. Johnson made
for himself 4 commanding position IN
another direction. This was achieved
by the attitude he took toward eradi-
eating from base ball the disagreeable
features that had arisen from promis-
cuouS assailing of the umpires and the
laxitv on the part of the players.
Many of the players had been
brought up in a school where the
roughness and toughness of the game
were more admired than manly ath-
letlc department,
Johnson Is Strict.
Johnson assessed fines and Suspen-
sions against ball. players and managers
who had been immune to that sort OF
thing. AT first Johnson's severe meth
DDS of punishment were looked upon as
a novelty. a new way of doing Things
in a major lcague-a sort OF adVer-
tisement. as It were. But when one
fine was followed by another. players
tice When PLAYERS who had strutted
on the diamond trampling the UNI
pires under foot. suddenly found them
selves off the field for an indeterminate
period of suspension. the game Of base
ball began TO look up and some OF the
PLAYERS began to detest Johnson.
johnson began his crusade for clean
base ball in advance of the movement
in The National League. Harry Pulliam
started a similar crusade in the Ma
tional League when he became its pres
ident. late in 1902. and the good work
tina; Johnson had done in the Ameri-
can League proved 10 be very good
argument in Pulliams favor.

the power that Johnson has. and If
there are disturbances on the field dur
