On the road to Pebble Beach.

On the road to Pebble Beach,
Where the flying slices Screech,
And a squn,Dk comes up like thunder
When the hole. gets out OF reach.
If there is any gray hair in the still
somewhat youthful scalps of Bobby
Jones and George Won Elm the same
will be due to heavy brooding over the
two 18-hole matches they will have to
hurdle next Wednesday.
A young man by the name of jess
Sweetser is not to be taken any too
lightly. He happens to be so adjusted
that the stronger his opponent the bet
ter he is almost sure to play. He can
outstick glue.
In looking over the list no one has
been able to discover the entry of the
golf champions of Patagonia and the
Fiji Islands. But practically every other
champion is here.
Other Random Thought.
Caddie-Any small boy keenly inter-
ested in everything except where your
wild hook landed.
Fairway-A green but largely I'M
inhabited strip of turf running from tee
to green.
Trap-A device which your oppo-
ponents ball jumps over and yours just
rolls ill.,
He usually has enough to do in the
way of carrying twice as many clubs as
any golfer ever needs without having
all the sins of dufferdom and stardom
heaped upon him.
: A caddie as rule, is about as good
a caddie as the disposition Of his en-
ployer.
The good sport usually has good
caddie. The bum sport never has.
Any golfer who has from 10 to Is
clubs in his bag has already given
the caddie all he can do without
expecting him to find balls lost In
impenetrable thickets.
The caddie makes no pretense at
being combination superman, truck
teacher. Yet that is what about 100000
golfers expect him to be.
The golfer as a rule gets as good a
caddie as he deserves to get-most Of
the time even better.
There are ten times as many bad
golfers as there are bad caddies.
The caddie is the camel of golf. You
know how much fun the game would
be il his tribe>suddenly became extinct.
He's pretty useful institution to con-
serve, protect and develop.
The main trouble in golf is getting
the two hands to work with any team
play. Often they don't speak. The
left hand frequently doesn't know
what the right hand is thinking about.
The right hand, usually being the
stronger member. wants to take con-
troll. This Is wrong.
You hear lot about the most i'm
portant stroke in, golf, Drive, approach,
putt-what not.
Don't let them kid you
There is only one Important stroke
In golf. There is only one stroke you
must think about. consider, ponder
over and plan, to the absolute climi-
nation of everything else. IL Is the
only troke that matters q half
whO<3ln Heligoland, and that is
the hext stroke you have to play.

Cincinnati Graves some batting
punch and pitcher or two to re-
place the aged Luque and Rixey.
Pittsburgh wants a second base
man and new pitching strength,
which it probably will be able to
get if the Paul Waner deal goes
through.
Cleveland is short on catching
strength.
Washington is in the market for
q first 'baseman.
The White Sox could use pair
of pitchers, a second baseman and
a smuggling outfielder or two.
The Cubs only pronounced weak

AS a matter of fact, it was not
so cold. But the sky was overcast
and prospect of fair turn out of
cash customers was not bright.
Furthermore. Saturday double
headers in Yankee Stadium have
been paying propositions. So it
was thought better to have the
clubs clash twice today. .,
Should it rain today. the washed-out
games probably would be transferred to
Griffith Stadium in Washington, where
the Yankees are listed for four regular
tits late in September, which wouldn't
hurt the Washington exchequer in the
least Two double-headerS with the
Yanks in the Capital would draw many
more of the mildly interested fans than
two single encounters.
Pitchers Doubtful.
Manager johnson was not so certain
of his pitching selections for the dual
fray with the YaukS this afternoon. He
had expected to employ his lefthanders.
Bob Burke and Garland BraXton, but
there was possibility that Sam Jones
instead of BraXton might start one of
the engagements.
The Yauks had Roy Sherid. orthodox

tional. who filings from the portSide.
ready TO shoot at the johnson band.
Wells has been no bargain for the
Nationals this season.
Following their Scrapping here. the
Nationals will hustle home, where to-
morrow they will tackle their strongest
rivals of the campaign, the Athletics.
Not since the first week in July have
the johnson men faced the league lead
ers, and they are rather eager to get at
them. Although the AS have them
down, Is games to 2. the Nationals feel
they might surprise Connie Macks
m.nions this time.
Rumors of Transfers.
While here the Nationals have been
hearing more of those rumors OF trades
that will take many veterans from their
club next Winter. The New York dope
has Rice. Judge, Ruel and Jones marked
for the market: it is sending Ruel to the
Browns to become their manager: say
ing that Muddy already has agreed to
take the job if his transfer can be
effected. Surprising news to Muddy, it
seems.
Johnson has nothing to say regarding
any trades; declares he knows nothing
of what is going on in the way of boil
stering the Washington club for next
year, or of anything concerning
change in personnel. But the New York
Sharps claim to have the right line on
the situation.
None of the players appears to be
bothering much about the trade rlImors.
Have to go where they are sent, they
figure. Their main thought now is
getting ahead of the Tigers. Ball play
ing is the big business with them and
will be to the finish of the season. If
he can show fair record for this year
he is sure of job next year-and the
average ball player isn't worrying where
the job will be as long as it is in the
majors. The Nationals are average ball
players when it comes to thinking of
next year.

combination at Detroit has brought
the Tigers enough punishment in
one season to last them several
years.
The punch-drunk Yankees will
have to have pair Of pitchers and
a reserve outfielder to take Byrds
place when he moves into Meusels

McGraw,s Giants need two pitch
ers. an outfielder and second base

out of that particular campaign than
you could keep Babe Ruth out of some
base ball park, even if Babe Ruth's sal
airy were reduced to practically nothing.
The Tilden-Lott match was a great
show at Newport. Mr.. Tilden always
been insinuated that Tilden lags for a
while and then comes from behind with
a rush to make melodrama for his gall
leries. There was a time when there
might have been ground for these in
situations. but hardly any more. An
laying veteran" cannot take those
chances in game as strenuous as
tennis.
Mr.. Tilden, the news says. will sail

Specialists in Foot Ball.
COME of the boys are mourning the
- decline of drop-kicking in foot bail.
do not see much cause for any intense
a speciality rather than team play. OF
course the team has to advance the
ball to get the drop-kicker within range
of the posts.
But, on the whole, in the old days.
when the goal posts were on the goal
line instead of half way into the stands.
drop-kicking specialists provided some
foot ball that was highly unspectacular.
I can remember several instances where
a drop-kickec was sent in for just one
play, his particular speciality. and as
soon as he scored his three points by
his own special play was Immediately
yanked right out again.
There have been games that Rave
been won by drop-kicking alone. and
these have been most annoying to
the customers. It was like base
ball game being broken up by pinch
hitters. Dropping the goal posts
back has discouraged drop-kicking.
While lessening the number of drop,
kicks is a help to the game rather
than a hindrance, the goal posts
now seem as though they had no
connection with the sport whatever.
They might as we'll be at the sides
of the field or out Of the Enclosure
altogether.
The forward pass has developed a
new sort of specialist a combination of
foot ball and base ball player. Knute
Rockne produced one of these at the
last Army-Notre Dame game. The
young man was sent in to make a run
ming catch of forward pass, which he
achieved with the deftness of Iris
Speaker at his best. Then ne was
taken right out of the picture.

Girl Lands Her Plane

Longm0nt, COlO.-When the med

Miss Blackwell, a student flyer,

Miss Blackwell was at the con-
trolls as the plane skinned along
at about 1000 feet when Clyde no
ticed his sister acting queerly, but
she kept the ship on an even keel
and headed for the landing field.
And, according to Clyde, the fas-
ter his sister squirmed the faster
the ship travelled until it finally
reached the landing field.
Miss Blackwell landed the air.
plane, almost dived from the pilots
seat and extricated two field mice
from her flying costume.
Although having a natural aver
sion to mice, Miss Blackwell en-
dured the horror of having the
creatures crawl over her while she
brought the plane to safe land
ing.
The mice apparently had built
home in the plane while it was
stored in it's hangar.
