new TRAPS
FOR MANOR
By r. D. Thomas

BY IL. IL. IhOmdS
An upward trend in the scores Of
Manor Club players is foreseen for
this spring. Eleven new traps have
been placed on the hitherto not diff
ficult course.
The club is going forward rapidly
with development plans. ID. =.
Thompson, the green's committee
chairman, announces that the
green's, fairways and tees Of the
third nine are ready for planting.
All trees and stumps have been re-
moved from the new layout.
The installation Of 3 1O.O00-
|. gallon reservoir, coupled with
the lake at the second hole and
the club swimming pool assures
Manor Of an ample supply of
water for the inevitable dry
spell.
That tricky second hole, with its
formidable lake, was the big topic
of a meeting of the golf committee
in the offices of d. N. Burnham.
Some players have insisted ON
dropping q second ball on the
tee after the first entered the
lake and playing two from the
tee while others dropped a ball
behind the lake with the usual
penalty of one stroke.
The latter will prevail henceforth,
the committee decided. This is the
U. s. G, A. rule. Hereafter all u.
q A. rules will govern play at
Manor.

CLEAN CUT
KIDS NOW
PREVAIL
By BABE Ruth

81. PETERSBURG, Florida,
March THE longer I stick
around baseball the more changes
can see in the type Of men who
play it.
It's q funny thing how a fellow
notices that sort Of stuff over
q long period OF years. But no
kidding, baseball Is changing. You
notice 1T particularly in the young
players. The kids who come down
to training camp today are q lot
less experience too, most of them.
And somehow I've got a bunch
they are better ball players. They
certainly are q lot higher class
than the roughrecks who used TO
come into camp as rockies when
I broke in.
Take the kids in the Yankee
camp this year for. instance, and
4 suppose they're about the same
IN the other camps. A lot of them
are college kids. We've even got
one chap. catcher named Eiseman,
who il q Phi Beta Kappa. They're
all well dressed, good looking
Kids who seem to know what it's
Ill about.
I'm the old days the newsnaper
boys used to kid the rockies a
lot because they were green, and
awkward and didn't know how
to handle themselves IN a big
hotel. But you cant hid them
now. The rookie Of today b
smart. He takes his baseball
seriously. He has been around.
Today. you see mighty few
0f those green farmer Kids who
used to make up nlne-tenfI1s
Of the rookie squad.
In the old days the rockies
usually had five or six years in
the minor leagues before thew
finally came up to the big league.
Nowadays the big league clubs
pick up their new PLAYERS from
the schools and colleges and the
sandlots.
Most Of the kids who come into
camp are fellows who have been
playing ball only two or three years
and a lot OF them come ND with
out any professional experience at
All.
Then, IL they're not ready, THEY'RE
sent out to the minors for more train.
ing, but the point il they come to
the big leagues first. It's because
they come up without all that
minor league experience that they
are younger than the rockies in the
old days.
Another thing that strikes me-
too, IL that most OF the present day
rockies are city kids. A few years
ago the young ball players came
mostly from the country towns of
the Middle West and the South.
Nowadays they come from the big
towns. OF the 20 rockies in our
camp, for instance. there are only
three or four who come from the
small town sandlot clubs.
There's one way though that
y they're like the old timers.
They're interested in baseball.
Those kids Of ours talk baseball
every minute. and they're al.
ways asking for information and
obstruction. A few years ago
the veterans used to Kid the
rockies \ lot. They'd put them
on the pan on every occasion,
and wouldn't even think Of help
Ing them or telling them any
f1afng about the game. But
MFaea have changed. Today the

Baseball aQClCLS everywhere
of course are wishing Walter
johnson unlimited success in
his venture as manager and
naturally such good wishes are
more emphasized here than
elsewhere, because of the nearly
81 years of labor he put in
in behalf of the Washington
Club.
To the far seeing, Johnson's
progress at Newark where he
has been signed to a 2-year-
contract by Owner Paul Block,
means more than the temporary
qualification of his desires and
those of his multitude of fol-
lowers; it means undoubtedly
a chance at big league manage
ment just as soon as he has
shown his worth as a minor
manipulation.
Vacancies are eternaIly oc-
curing in such position in the
upper strata of baseball. Just
as players are recruited from
the lower class leagues to fill
the ranks of the major cir
cults, so are the Class AA and
even lower groups often looked
to to produce managerial tim
Der.
Next to the playing ranks Of
the majors themselves, the bet
ter minor leagues ore the chief
producers of managerial ma
terial for the big top. Just
as sure as Walter Johnson
proves his worth at the helm
of Newark, is he likely to be
offered more important work
to do. Too, if johnson proves
to himself he can get along
as an executive in baseball, he
may buy some good club.
If an erstwhile player ever
carried more background into a
new task than Old Barney is
carrying to the international
League, we do not recall the
incident. He has everything to
start with from an enviable and
unequaled record as a big timer
to the confidence and backing
of his millionaire boss.
The latter statement is quite
well substantiated by the fact
that the two of them have
brought the cream of retiring
American and National League
timber into the fold to represent
Newark. Names like jacques
Fournier, Hugh McMillen and
Jack Bentley are only a few
of the famous ones with which
Paul Block has endowed Walter
Johnson.
Johnson will handle these and
other former greats with a
cream and honey treatment. be-
cause it is Walters nature to
be that way. But if they do
not thrive on such a diet, john
son can De just as rigid as the
next. He knows his future
hangs In the balance and if CO.
operation isn't forthcoming via
the easy route, it is not to be
thought for a minute that Wal
ter can't extract it by the harsh
method.

neer cr the public health officer
to advise him. In this way the
heating Of buildings il left more
or less to chance and convenience,
without regard to health. Many
people defend the popular coal
fire because ii produces q current
OF air, drawing fresh air into the
room autonatic Ideally.
Others point out that the gas
and electric fire share with the
coal fire the pleasant property ~of
warming the objects In the room
more than the air through which
the rays pass. The newer, or
panel, or plenuml system acts In
just the opposite way. BY this
system, 1t seems. objects In the
room are warmed by heated air
instead of the air being warmed
by heated objects. Hot water
pipes and steam radiators chiefly
transmit warmth through cur.
rents of air heated by contact
with them, and only heat by
radiation to minor degree.
The latest system of house
warming Is by large surfaces or
panels, flush, with the ceilings,
walls or floors, behind which are
concealed coils OF hot water pipes.
The intensity of the radiation so
obtained, we are told, Is some
400 times less than that from a
fire. 1t is somewhat misleading,
therefore, to suggest that the
radiant warmth from ceiling
fall or floor approximates closely
to the effect ct sunshine. Never
theIess it would seem that the
method deserves consideration.
The Industrial Fatigue Research
Board OF England has inquired
closely into it and reported on
the results.

found to be an even distribution
of heat over the room, so that
