an authority than Harry Vardon
has made the statement that
it is necessary for q player to
hit at least a hundred thousand
balls before he can hit one with
anything like reasonable de-
gree of confidence. Balls can
be hit indoors as we'll as out, and
hitting them in either place gives
the player that reserve of con-
fidence that is essential to good
golf. After the player has hit
his hundred thousand balls he
isn't beset with what you
might call the primary worry"
namely. the worry over whether
he is going to connect or not.
Once rid of that worry the
player can concentrate on dis
lance and direction. And those
are the things-and the only
things-that par shouters con-
centrate on when they step up
to the old pill.

TODE5 SPoRDRIAL
BY Xii Miller

!
Walter Johnson has just paid
his second great compliment to
the name Of Ross Young. The
first gesture was offered during
Young's lifetime, the second
after the marvellous outfieIder
has passed onward where good
ballplayers 60.
Over in New York, you know,
they are planning a memorial
to the memory Of Young, the
money for which is being con-
tributed at the rate of 81 a
head by individuals who so de-
sire and in larger amounts by
any groups of people who wish
to pay a final mark of respect
to the Incompatible Ross.
Johnson's dollar has just been
forwarded and in joining the
hundreds of other ballplayers
and thousands of fans who are
erecting the Ross Young Me-
mortal, Johnson must have
thought of that crucial seventh
game Of the 1924 world series
bewteen the Giants and the
Griffmen, when Johnson twice
issued bases on balls to the
then Giant gardener.
For it was in that event
full contest that Walter Johnson
paid his first public compli-
ments to the man whose memory
is now the object Of baseball's
respect. Maybe you were out
at Griffith Stadium that day,
and perhaps you weren't, but
Johnson's contribution to the
Ross Young Memorial fund re-
calls the incident to the writer
and perhaps the whole thing
will stand rehashing at this
time.
Johnson's significant gesture
of esteem for Young's physical
prowess was registered in UNI
qualified terms in the ninth
inning of the last chapter of
the 1924 series, when, with
Frisch having tripled after
Lindstrom flied out, Young came
to the bat, swinging his clubs
all the way from the dugout
and vertically exuding vengeance
at the mighty johnson.
In Young, Walter recognized
real trouble, and the Kansas
Cyclone proceeded to pass him
so as to get a crack at George
Kelly, who had been the down
fall of Johnson in the opening
game of the series. With one
out, Frisch on third and Young
on first, Johnson proceeded to
ignominiously strike out the
dangerous George Kelly, and
the third out Of the inning was
The Washington times., 1928-02-08

an easy infield play from third
to first. IS We recall It.
Then again HI the eleventh
inning Of the same game, for
it eventually went twelve in
nings, you know johnson faced
i similar situation. One man
was on second and up came
Ross Young again. Walter
once more fed him four wide
ones so as to get at Kelly.
Kelly again famed, this time
to end the inning. Johnson fed
him fast balls, one after an-
other, despite Georges fame as
fast ball hitter and if you
ask US, passing Young to get
Kelly just about won that series
for Washington.
Walter Johnson fears no man
on the diamond, but he has
learned in his two decades in
the game TO have a great deal
of respect for many Of them,
and Ross Young was one OF
those Waiter respected most.
johnson knew as everybody
knew, that Young was . great
money player. When high
stakes were in the balance,
Young was at his best. Had sit
been a run-of- the mine ball
game, Walter might have tried
to tangle Young up in mis-
speed ball, but with $53,000 at
stake for the Griffmen, Johnson
did something he very seldom
had to in his remarkable big
league career, passed player
twice in succession.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-The new
football rules adopted this week by
the intercollegiate football rules
COMMITTEES are intended to make the
game open and safe, and to increase
the possibility OF scoring, according
to e. X. Hall, chairman Of the COM
mittee.
s'The backward pass IL being de.
veloped to put more action into foot
ball." said Hall, speaking at the am
nuaI Colgate alumni banquet here
last night. I'VE protected every
pass back OF the line during last
season, but that produced q tendency
on the part Of the defensive lines
not to charge when the ball went
into play.
1--WE are now protecting only
back-Of-line passes going more
than two yards. Back passing
will Omen M the play by spread.
Ing the defense, improving the
possibilities Of every running
and pIunging play"
Hall declared that the rule requir.
ing a pause of one second after the
passing Of the ball apparently has
done away with the illegal shift.
The new rule allowing either side
to recover q funbled punt will offer
the receivers a premium for getting
the ball and trying to run it forward
instead of playing safe and letting
the ball go by, he asserted.
