differences of opinion as men,
bers of the same organization,
when each exhibited SteadfaSt
allegiance to his own views, and
evidence is at hand that, now
their paths have diverged, they
are running true to form by
continuing to disagree.
The subject over which they are
at odds now concerns the making
of double plays. This column re-
Gently carried a tribute to Peckin-

received losses and ferried them to
first base.
This got a rise out of Griff. who
said in effect that the scribe in
question was all wet and that the
chief burden for making double
plays fell on the player who Origi-
nally fielded the ball-the FIRST

THOSE who consider 'Let

the announcement that the
foot ball rules committee has
decreed that fumbled balls be
dead at the point of recovery
by the defensive team.
And those who are chiefly
concerned with witnessing
spectacular play will find little
consolation in designation of
the two instead of the three
yard line for the try for point
after touchdown with nary a
mention of returning the goal
posts to their original position
to revive the art of field goal

MUST FIGURE CLUB
IN RACE, SAYS JOHN
Has Second Base, 0utfieId
Problems to Solve at
Camp in Texas.
BY ALAN J. GOULD.
Associated Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, February 19.-John Nc
Graw, about to start his twenty-eighth
year as manager of the New York
Giants, has no predictions to make
about winning his eleventh pennant, but
he looks for tight race, with the
Giants in there"
The Giants were "in there" last sea-
son, faltering only in the last strides.
and not few critics predict they will
lead the chase this season, even though
the Chicago Cubs are expected to start
as favorites for the first time since the
days of the peerless leader, Frank
Chance.
"The Cubs look good" McGraw ad-
mits, calculating on the added all
arcNnd strength furnished by Rogers
Hornsby. But the Pirates and Cardi-
mails will have to be figured on and so
will our club. don't know much about
Boston, but Cincinnati will be strong
and both Brooklyn and Philadelphia
seem improved"
Second base and the outfield are about
the only problems McGraw has to solve
when he takes charge of his men at San
Antonio probably the early part of next
week. But he does not consider either
as source of worry. At second base
it is question Of choosing between the
hard-hitting Andy Reese or the smooth
fielding Andy Cohen. The outfield
offers more juggling. possibilities. and
McGraw may be obliged to employ
year.
Much Outfield Talent.
Two of the outfield stars have been
classed as holdouts, but one of them,
Jimmy Welsh, has just come to terms,
while the other. Fred Leach, who was
obtained from the Phillies, Is expected
to do so soon. McGraw expects both
to sign contracts at camp and end his
concern over salary matters.
To pick from, McGraw has four right
handed hitters in his outfield crop, If
Breese is included, and as many more
who hit left-handed. But the latter
quartet, consisting of OFT, Welsh, Roush
and Leach, seems to have a big adj
vantage over the rest of the contenders.
McGraw makes no secret that he is
counting strongly upon Carl Hubbell.
the young Oklahoma southpaw who
pitched sensationally last season after
coming up from the Texas League. He
expects Hubbell to win around 10 or 20
games and share the main pitching
burden with Larry Benton, the red
headed Highlander.
Likes Cuban Players.
McGraw, just back from vacation
in Havana, is enthusiastic about the
prospects Of base ball on the island as
well as the chances Of several new Gu
ban stars making the big-league grade.
"They have q young amateur star
down there now, one Alfonso. third
baseman, who may get tryout with us
In another year." said TIE Giant man
ager. He Is only 19 row, but good hit
ter and great natural player. Another
promising player is Ruiz, who will be
with bridgeport in the Eastern League
this year."

He has skidded before. but never for
any length of time. Given his share Of
rest for the purpose of recuperating a
somewhat aged arm, he still will be hard
to beat, with change Of pace that still
is the best that base ball knows. Alex
ander makes them do the guessing. and
this element of doubt has broken up
many an offensive machine.
Alexander will be good pitcher as
long as he can push slow one and
still slower one as far as the plate.
The Main Factor.
Jock Hutchinson, who spends as many
hours teaching golf as any professional
In the business, was peering out across
the vivid colored waters that surround
Nassau.
IF I could discover just one thing"
he said. Il could increase the value of
golf lessons 200 per cent"
What is that?" asked.
Some way to make them relax" he
said. Il can cure faults and get them
hitting the ball fine, and then when
they go out to play most of them are
holding on to the golf club as II it
meant matter of life and death. It Is
hard to make your pupils understand
that 1t is next to impossible to keep a
free, smooth swing when every muscle
and every nerve in your body Is tied UP
in knots"
This is 100 per cent true. Even In
addressing the ball the average
golfer shows the terrific tenseness
which dominates his entire heinz
mental and physical. Even the
waggie Is series Of stiff. quick mo-
tons that shows what little chance
the club head ever has to pick up its
speed and sail on its way.
How can this relaxation be brought
about? Largely through the mental
side, the practice Of feeling a freedom
from hurry and from tight gripping.
light, firm wrists, at least give one q
start. There are certain days when no
one can keep from too much tension.
But there is no reason why it should be
an eternal disease.
Some golfers cultivate q feeling of
lazy effort at the start of round and
make q habit of light gripping and
smoother swinging on the first few
holes. But the second their systems
stiffen as they address the ball you can
understand that mcuh trouble waits on
ahead.
Golf is no easy game to pick up, but
it shouldn't be as difficult as a few mil
lions have made it. 1t isn't as hard as
most of them make it look, with rigid
muscles and nerves all ready to impede
in every way the speed Of the club head.
1t may not be simple, but neither does
it demand combination of contortion-
list motions to get at least fair swing
working along the right path.

A CCORDING to the repre-
~ sentative of one OF the
~ large metropolitan dailies
4 n who is on the scene of
the impending battle at Miami
Beach, Jack Sharkey is favored
by "a faSt-growing majority"
to defeat Young Stribling, al
though the consensus Is that II
speed alone decided the issue
Stribling would enjoy the ad-
vantage.
There's that line on expert
opinion which boxing fans have
been looking for, but that it is
not wholly conclusive may be
gathered from the fact that at
least three figures prominent
in fisticufflng and accounted
creditable authorities on the
game emphatically disagree.
The trio who opine that
Stribling will take" the terrible
Sharkey man are Jimmy Bron-
son, Lou Diamond and Leo
Flynn.
'Stribling is under estimated,
Sharkey over estimated" Bron-
son is quoted as saying. "The
young Georgian is a big money
fighter. He will rise to the &C.
casion. Sharkey was a flop in
all his big shots with the ex-
ception Of the one with the
toothless and clawless old
brown panther, Harry Wills"
According to Flynn, "Stribling is
the best heavyweight in the game"
and let's it go at that, but Diamond,
who recently made a trip through
the South and Is convinced by what
he heard and saw that the Florida
battle will go over big financially,
goes more into detail. He says:
