having been chosen yesterday in election in which

Obregon, admittedly of the strongest charac

office next December for period cf six years He
promises to carry out the policies of President Gales,
and as the latter is merely continuing those naugur

Robertson May Retain
Olympic Coaching Job

When the coaching staff OF the
American track team for the 1892
OLYMPIC games Is chosen, there Is
no doubt as to the man who will be
at it's head.
Lawson Robertson, the dark.
stopped, saturnins coach Of the
University of Pennsylvania, seems
likely to go on forever as the chief
mentor of American athletics.
What success the United States
team enjoyed at Amsterdam--and
it must be remembered that we won
five field events in addition to the
4O0.meter run and both relays
must be credited in considerable
measure to the genius of Robertson.
The American team was on
strange soil, in a strange climate,
facing strange conditions, with the
opportunity for training and prac-
tice strictly limited. "Robby" made
the best Of things.

swing all its own. Mac Smith,
the best of golf stylists, is at
the same time the best expo
nent of the Acoustic swi u.
All golfers would make better
golf progress by adopting the
Carnoustic swing. The chief
characteristic of this swing is
its slowness, almost laziness.
1t starts easily and gently with
the clubhead being taken from
the ball, but the chief point of
its slowness is in starting back
toward the ball. The Car
noustie swing is swing abso-
sulteIy devoid of effort. Mac
Smith even uses it in putting
causing the putter at the end
of the back stroke before it
swings forward. That same
principle applies to all other
swings in his bag. Begin with
the Carousite swing, stick to
it and your golf will improve.

Earle Reggie, national Junior

RUETHER LEADS
. COAST LEAGUE

Reasons why John McGraw
wanted to get Dutch Ruether back
in the majors can be seen in the
pitching figures for the season on
the coast. Ruether won 20 games
for San Francisco and lost seven.
He was the leading hurler OF the
circuit. which boosted six other
pitchers besides Ruether, who won
at least 90 games. The others were
Heating, Jacobs, Shellenback. Malls.
Vince and Barfoot.
Vinci is one of the best south
paws in the circuit and it Is thought
out on the coast that he will go
up this year. Gordon Rhodes, a.
Yankee prize, won 1S games and
lost 10, his work being the most
sensational on the coast. as it was
his first season in pro baseball.
His record shows he was re-
spOnsibIe for only - runs.
DagIia and Cragl1ead, two young
hurlers i'm whom the Yankees
also are interested. won Is
games apiece.
Bruce Cunningham, who comes
up to the Cubs, managed to put
over IL victories while losing 13
games for Los Angeles. He was
one of the best pitchers in the
league. Seattle tried out young
pitcher named Nance and tied the
tinware onto him. The Missions
picked him and he won nine games
in a row before the season closed.
He looks like one OF the best In
the circuit and will bring a big
price next season.
