M VERNE WlCkHAM 1 This goat getter has just driven of l the tee. His drive carried 100 yards The green is 300 yards away, but he | won't take his second shot until the hut them!
 Of course. the players behind him
 wouldn't think of driving off with his
 lie just l00 yards away. And the other members of his "quarrelsome | must wait with him before they ad- vance to their ball.
 When he does hit his second shot. l which gets about halfway to the l green, the players with him probab- ly have lost sight of their ball And a lost ball or dubbed shot usually
 results.
 Golfers should learn the distance to reasonably expect with the clubs. Don't overestimate yardage! To be sure. never shoot up 10 the
 green while the foursome is putting out. But, on the other hand, don't
 wait 300 yards away 10 make sec-
 ond shot when you know you can't get 200 yards to save your life.
 There is no harm in taking your
 second shot while the foursome
 ahead is putting out when you're far enough away.
 It is d popular golfer who knows
 the yardage he can get with each
 club, who knows himself. and who
 never holds up the players with him
 or the ones behind him when he should be shooting.

"Alibi Pete" former football mag nate and One-time champion (cheese) of Greece at middle dis tances, in other words. the weli- known Pet Perakos. has done so much arguing over the recent foot race between himself and Joe Herg. strom which was won in q walkaway by the Y physical director. that an- other race has been arranged.
 Hergstrom, full of confidence after his recent victory, wishes to make it plain that he is better foot racer than Pete ever thought of being and for that reason he has given the former Greek champion all sorts of concessions.

On Feb. 2, Ulrich's condition took
a turn for the worse and he be-
came weaker and weaker.
Burt Shotten, manager of the
Phillies, was depending on Ulrich
to help him in the National League
race this year. His loss will be felt.
After playing on local lot teams,
.Ulrich was signed by the late Jack
I'unn Of the Baltimore Orioles in
1919 and after failing to make the
grade was farmed to the Moline
Club of the Three-I League. Moline
released him and then he was
signed by WayneSboro in the Blue

small sum from Waynesboro and
then farmed him to Waterbury in
the Eastern League, where he
played for two seasons.
In 1926, Ulrich returned to Phila-
delphia as a regular member of the
pitching corps and won a good
many games. In 1927 he continued
his good work and was considered
one of the leading pitchers in the
National League.

ere isn't much left to say in
advance of the regular weekly
glove throwing show at the Armory
tonight. The usual five bouts will
be offered. Many fans have a
bunch Chuck Virgins is due for a
licking at the hands of Jack De
Nave in the main go, others believe
the Hoesier will outlook his oppon-
ent, and still there are others who
are going merely to see what hap
pens.
At any rate the show is sell
out, which means old Chuck still
can pack 'em in in his home town.
Matchmaker Greene's only remain
ing advance announcement is a re-
quest to the fans to be in their seats
early to permit him to start the
first prelim at 8:15.
De Nave holds a win over Wig
gins, gained in st. Louis some time
ago, when the referee disqualified
Chuck for alleged rough work and
held aloft the hand of the big Hol-
lander who does his fighting now
out Of Jersey City.
In describing that st. Louis scrap,
De Nave said he registered no
complaint with the referee about
Virgins tactics and that the ref
took it upon himself to end the
clash. Low punches were not in
volved, De Nave said.
Tonight's prelim card looks
promising and the large crowd no
doubt will be we'll entertained if
the feature bout lives up to expec-
tations.
