you can begin putting" is Bobby
Jones' support of Sir Walters the
DRY; and if anybody should know
the Importance of the drive it is
Bobby, especially since the United
States open championship of 1928 at
Olympia fields. His failure to win
the championship, and, indeed, to
win it by from two to eight strokes,
is directly attributable to his inabil-
ity in that tournament to keep his
tremendous and usually accurate
tee shots in the fairWay.
The long and ~saccurate drive
makes all the difference between
a pitch to the green and a hard
iron or a spoon shot, sometimes
from a disadvantageous position, on
many of the two-shot holes which
nowadays constitute the potent fac
tor of our championship courses.
On the popular holes of 400 to 440
yards, a fine drive leaves a pitch or
a medium iron, where a short or
partly missed drive means a poke
with the longer irons or a desperate
bang with the wood.
TWo-thirdS of a modern cham
pionship course is built on the drive
with the wood.

1925-COWNEISSIONERS OVER
RETE REEEREE

When the tiStic fans in Manllat-
tan Sporting club filed out into a
cold February night in 1925 after
watching the bang-up Joe Dundee
Charley O'Connell 10-rounder. they
were confused as to the actual Win
ner and the method at which the
officials arrived at their decision.
1t seemed that O'Connell ham
mered Dundee around at a lively
rate and it vas just a matter OF
how easy he was going to grab off
the big end of the purse.
In the ninth round he slapped
the Italian to the canvas. Dundee,
groggy from punishment, took a
short count, rose to his feet and
then suddenly decided to take a
longer count and pumped down
again without being hit.
Referee Jim Crowley immediate
~ rule that Dundee had disquali-
fled himself and awarded the YER
dict to O'Connell. However. the
commissioners, grouped at the ring
side, disagreed and proceeded to go
into a huddle.
With the crowd yelling for action,
Dundee was again ordered to fight.
The referees decision was overruled
and the final round was ordered
under way.
Again O'Connell renewed his
Furnishing attack. At the finish
the referee passed the buck to the
commissioners. who then decided
OConnell, Cleveland boy, had won
on points. The referee insisted he
had won on a technical knockout
and the boys who had wagered on
the result had their voice Of de-
cisiOns.

VALLEY LEAGUE

FARLEY TUESDAY

A baseball meeting that has
the earmarks of getting a league
started, will be held at the Miller
hotel in this city Tuesday night,
at s o'clock, President 0. N. Bos-
ton announced last week.
McAllen, Mercedes, Harrington,
San Benito and Brownsville, a
prospective group of Valley towns
which may enter the league, or at
least some of them, were to be
notified today. Laredo, Corpus
Christi, RobStown, Kingsville and
Alice, were also notified today.
William t.. Billy Burnett.
Rio Grande Valley manager of
the South Texas Chamber of
Commerce, is working in conjunc-
ton with MI. Boston, in getting
notifications to these towns.
A temporary league was formed
at a meeting in Mercedes last
week. At this meeting a set Of
bylaws also was adopted, the
playing season scheduled to start
May /, and close August Is.
Corpus Christi is DESTROYS of
entering the league; they have so
stated in letters to Mr.. Boston.
1t is believed by Boston that if
Corpus and two other towns in
that part of the country join
with Valley towns, a compact cir
cult can be formed, and Mr. Bur-
nett has SO notified Corpus to
line up other towns, and to bring
accredited representatives to the
meeting here Tuesday night.

The moot question, what is the
most important shot in golf? has
produced a number of different an
swers, all interesting and a couple
of them clever.
Willie Park, a grand putter, said:
"The man who can putt is a match
for anybody"
To which Harry Vardon replied.
THE man who can pitch doesn't
need to putt"
And one witty sophist lodged the
issue by saying that the most i'm
portant shot in golf is "the next
one"
1 like Walter Hagen'S determined
decision, following an era in which
it Seemd generally accepted that
the iron shot "a the backbone OF
golf"
The drive is the most important
shot," said Sir Walter. 1T makes
every other shot easier or harder
This is essentially a reasonable
verdict, especially in the latter
days of Gargantuan courses, with
the second shot depending almost
exclusively on the long and accu-
rate wallop off the tee.
You must reach the green before

*ROBBY HAS
NOTHING TO
SMILE over
BY BRIAN BELL

ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer
CLEARWATER, Fla, March IL
Robinson, the Jolly
Robby" of Brooklyn baseball, finds
it harder to display his beamins
smile as the Robins go about their
training. Amy frownS Robby may
be c~oncealing seem justified.
Dazzy Vance, Speedball kind OF
the National league, is losing val
liable days while he confines his
attention to the business office in
stead of the ball field. The dazzler
thinks the club officials have un-
der-estimated his value by about
$4,000.
Glenn Wright, a great shortstop
for Pittsburgh, pulled up with a
lame arm in his firSc day Of prac-
tice and is under treatment.
Brooklyn lacks coordination in
some Of the players. If Wally Gill
bert could hit like either Babe Her
man or Harvey Hendrick he would
be a third base sensation and II
either of the clubs star hitters
could come up with the balls Gilbert
gets. Robby would worry much less
TOO early" says the manager when
asked if he had made a tentative
arrangement of his infield and out
field combinations.
Two Posts Assigned
Two positions seem assigned. Del
BiSonette, who can hit and field
will play first base and Herman will
take care of right field. Herman is
no ball hawk but he is the clubs
best hitter.
Jake Flowers was given a tenta-
tive advantage at second base but
Billy Rhiel, who has had two trials
with the club. has complicated the
situation by his good playing in
practice.
Wright, in shape. is conceded the
shortstop position but if his arm
should be slow in coming around
Dave Bancroft will have to step in.
Gilbert is essential at third base
from a defensive standpoint.
But If he fails to hit, Hendrick may
have to be move in from the outfield
for the sage Of the offense.
Rube Bressler will be an outfield-
er, at least part Of the time. Max
Rosenfeld, mi of the University OF
Alabama crop Of football and base
ball players, John Frederick, a
Memphis graduate, the much trav-
eled Henry Sullop and Hal Lee, a
former infielder, furnish an inter-
esting contest for the available out
field openings. Max Carey is listed
as an outfielder but probably he
will coach and act as first lieutenant
to Manager Robinson.
z Hurlers Back
Seven of last years pitthing staff,
excluding Vance are back. Thus
far there has been no indication at
the training camp that any of the
veterans will be displaced. The
holdovers are Doug McWeeny, Wat
son Clark, Big Jim Elliott, RUDE
Ehrhardt, Ray Moss and Louis Kou-
pal.
One of the young pitchers is not
so young. Winn Ballou, drafted
from Milwaukee, has had much ma
jor league experience. Jim Rich
ardson from New Haven, elise
Dudley. late of Atlanta, and Bill
Moore, a Macon product, are work
ing hard to win a place. Orr, or
two at the most, can succeed.

That the Jordan River Revue, an

opinion of L. L. Fisher, director of

According to initial figures the
show earned a total profit of be-

receipts for the trip were $10,252 as
compared with $1,000 last year. The
