Pilot H. c. Gillian flying the Steerman plane. arrived at the ship Nanuk, North Cape, Siberia, Friday afternoon. He states that he and pilot Joe Crosson were separated in the fog but says Cros son is okeh. While the message did not say that Crosson arrived at the Nanuk it is learned today that Crosson intended to search in the vicinity where Eielson and his plane was last heard, some 60 miles from the Nanuk. and that he evidently landed in that neigh borhood for the night, while pn- ot Gillian went on to the Manuk to carry on search work further to the westward of the Nanuk

Sherwood Forests golf course was in
excellent condition for the large field

fourth annual tournament today. Nearly
so players from Washington were

which began with an 18-hole qualifying
round. The customary twin rounds of
match play are scheduled for tomorrow,
and the event will end on Sunday, with
the semi-final and final rounds.

too often to the well, and c, an utterly
ignominous person, with chronic half
topped slice and faculty for jumping
bunkers, consigned stripes to a per-
petual retirement by a matter OF
6 and S.
There is a difference between
belief in a lucky course and belief
in a lucky tie. 1t is capable of
rational explanation, though often
an unf1attering one. If We are short
We shall find as likely as not that
our lucky course Is short also; If we
are long and erratic misfortune dogs
our steps where the fairway and the
rough are clearly defined and there
is plenty of heather. A course where
all the out-of-bounds hedges are on
the left gives the Slicer a strange
sense Of happiness and well-being,
for which he may be at loss to
account, but which his kind friends
will be ready to explain to him. Like
Mr.. Blotton of Aldgate, they will
presume to state view of the case
as degrading as ridiculous
All of hiwch Is undeniable true. A short
while ago a certain chronic hookerino
pronounced a certain mild course as
one of the hardest and one of the worst
he ever saw. played there few days
later and discovered there were three
or four out-of- bounds and three or four
patches of deep woods to the left OF the
course, all perfect targets for a brisk
hook. II these hazards had been to the
right of the course to catch slice what
a difference of opinion! The same
golfer, knowing his inbred faults, should
select a course TO match them. Why
not, you may ask, cure the faults? Why
not-and again, why not? 1t can be
done. but it so rarely is. Only one golfer
in hundred has the patience to attend
to such job. That is why opinions
concerning golf courses are SO often
different. 1t often depends on how a
course fits the players game-or doesn't
fit it.
Same for Ball Parks.
Modern ball parks work out in the
vi same way for modern hitters. II
ball players were switched around there
would be a big change in home run
records. Many might do better and
many others do much worse. Ruth
hasn't been particular about where he
hits his homers in the past. but you
will find that many others pile up most
of their home runs on certain home
| grounds.
Given the modern ball and certain
short right field barriers Sam Crawford
would have averaged 100 home runs a
season and Frank Schultz would have
been close behind with about 90.

SECOND BASEMEN
LEAD |NF|ELDERS
Three and a Shortstop Have
Accepted ID Chances
This Season.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

-FOUR infielders Of the major
- leagues other than first base
men hold a record of accepting
l. IA chances in a nine-inning
game this season. That is high
mark for this year. It is not high
mark for all years, but it is good.
The players who hold the IA record,
good thus far for 1929. are Andy Reese,
New York, National; Hughie Critz Gin
cinnati: Oscar Melillo. st. Louis, Amer
lean. all second basemen. and Horace
Ford, Cincinnati shortstop.
There are major league infielders
who have been nimble in other ways
but these four are the king pins in
ground covering to date.
Drop one peg lower to IS chances
and one finds Colbert. st. Louis Ma
tionals, who has pocketed IS twice;
Jimmy Dykes of the Athletics, who
accomplished one. playing second base;
Tony Lazzeri, New York Americans with
one ID: Rogers Hornsby of the Cubs
with IS, and Frank Frisch OF the st.
Louis Nationals with 13.
Ralph KresS, the st. Louis American
shortstop, has one ID.
In the 10 class as well as in the IA
class the second basemen have ex-
celled and the truth Is that the second
basemen, as a group have been playing
better base ball this year than the
shortstops.

MOORE OF YANKEES
!. STAGES COMEBACK.
Pitching Sensation of 1927
Apparently Has Regained
His "Sinker" Ball.
GEORGE MORIARTY,
Rig Lea 1iie TImDiYe


a K ID-JULY possibly has contrib
Nh uted a double base ball mir
wv acle. It centers around Wiley
L ' i Moore and Herb Pennock.
Yankee pitchers, who. counted
out of the picture for the last year
or more. seem back on the job with
the stuff that made them famous.
I suppose you recall that Moore was
the pitching sensation Of 1927 and
made it possible for the Yankees to
walk in under the october wire. Dur
ing intervals for the last two weeks
Moore has been sent to the mound by
in a valiant and convincing manner.
Recently there have been mild
claims that Moore had regained his
famous "sinker ball." but his support
ers were afraid it was only flash in
the pan. But the claims have grown
stronger the last week.
Shows His Old Stuff.
Though Moore had been looking bet
ter each time on the rubber, it was in
the recent 14-inning game against Chi
cago that he rose to his old heights.
In the eleventh inning. with the score
SIS, Moore was asked to save the con-
test.
One was down. Kerr was on third
base and Lyons on first. Moore faced
Hoffman, a hard hitter, and struck
him out with his "sinker ball." Cissell
next slashed at the "sinker ball" and
rolled an easy grounder to Moore, who
threw him out to end the inning. 1t
was against these batters that Moore
started to look like the Moore of 1927.
From then on to the end of the game,
which the Yankees won 6-5. Moore
t,Yr IN, ~ ovnel1nyIt Micro nf relief
pitching 1t was easy to note the re-
action Of the Yankees with Moore side
arming his wicked "sinker" past the
knee-line of the Chicago batters. They
were the Yankees of old and played
like demons, spirit and all, when they
sensed that Moore had his old stuff.
Moore's every pitch reflected confidence
in himself.
After enjoying banner year in 1927
Moore, for some unaccountable reason.
showed a reversal that puzzled the
base ball world. Everybody wanted to
know what was wrong. Even Moore
could not explain how he had lost the
"sinker ball" He didn't complain Of a
sore arm, still his effectiveness had left
him in strange manner.
Credit Is Due Higgins.
Players observed that Moore was
pitching high across the plate, entirely
contrary to his pitching policy. Often
he was wild, and when he did get the
ball over he was hit numerically. Next,
he lost his chance to pitch regularly,
and later he became a forgotten hero
merely an occupant of the bench.
If Moore now really has regained his
'sinker BALI the Yankees must be &C
counted dangerous foes all the way to
the wire. Not the least of the credit
for Moore's apparent return to form be-
longs to Higgins. There are managers
who would have said good-by to Moore
by the waiver route. Higgins. true to
his conservative style, just sat back and
took the outside chance Moore might
return to greatness. Now it looks as if

FORMER FOOT BALL STAR
HEADING FOR MAJORS

BY the Associated Press.
'Phoney" Smith, one of the greatest
foot ball heroes ever produced at Mer-
Ger University, appears to be making
name for himself in base ball on the
Huntington, W. Va, Club.
Smith was said by some sport scribes
to be among the South's greatest foot
ball and basket ball players in his day
at Mercer, but he took his base ball
lightly.
Now it appears that sport writers in
Huntington and elsewhere regard
"Phoney" as a likely major league base
ball prospect.
They say Smith is good fielder, .
good hitter, has an excellent throwing
arm and he goes around bases like FIRE
around a celluloid collar.

the Yankee manager might reap mani
fold dividends.
Southpaw Pennock has stepped back
into the limelight with a consistent
showing of his old form. Pennock's
arm went dead last year and made him
of little use until recently.
Both these stars can start games and
serve as relief men, and If they are as
right as indications lead one to believe
the Yankees mound staff may have re-
covered about 80 per cent of the po-
tency it once enjoyed when Moore and
Pennock were at their peak.
