IT have received no offer from

Boston club does not sell its players
for cash. No amount of cash can
buy Hornsby. and will not trade
him for playing material. for we
have decided he Is just what we
need for a winning combination.
Il have had long conversation
with him and L can say that he Is
satisfied to come to Boston and
show the National League that he
can do as good work with second
division club as with contender.
''With Moore at third. Horns
by at second, Farrell at short
and either Brown or Burrus at
first, we will have an infield
which can field and which will
hit over .3OO-well over 800.
THAT is going to help our staff of
excellent young pitchers. All
need is a good first string catcher,
and have one in sight and have
made an offer for him.
I'VE have given some thought to
putting Brown on first base, as we
would like to keep his heavy hitting
in every game. He did well at in
field work at the close of the sea-

might take three puts. 1t doesn't
happen often, but you can never
tell.
I myself in the past year have
twice found the value Of playing
the fifth shot just 40 carefully as
the second. In former times
used to fly off the handle after I
had messed up q couple OF shots
and would usually throw away two
or three more strokes as the result.
But / can appreciate now that 1t
is just as important in medal play
to hole a good putt for seven az
for a three.

open at East Lake, Billie Burke

and some real New England sIset.

1t off to the right in the rough

fourth likewise. That left me play
