THE SPORTLIGHT
by CRANTLAND RICE

the Spring that hope springs eternal in
the base ball breast. BY June most OF
this hope has withered and turned stale
A warm and woolly Spring start may
pave the way to big league record as
far as admissions go. There may OF
may not be as many youngsters playing
base ball as there used to be, but there
are more fans than ever willing to pay
the tax when good pennant race is
on-or Babe Ruth happens to be
swinging a 52-ounce war club. Base
ball is professional entertainment, but
as long as it is entertainment it will
continue to grow. Professional sport to-
day might be rated as big business. but
as long as it entertainS several millions
the label means little.
IT have just discovered" pens L. D.,
"the hardest shot in golf. 1t is the next
shot I have to play under pressure. 1t
foot putt Under certain conditions
where the old bean is throbbing and
the pulse Is hopping, they all seem to
be alike. No difference at ALL"
Yet there are a number of easy shots
in golf to play One is the out-of-
bounds slice with fence to the right
of the course. The other is the jump
ing putt when you are down and l
to play. Still another is the topped
mashie when there is pond to carry.
These can all be played without much
thought or worry. One doesn't even
have to look at the ball or relax. One
doesn't have to think about pivoting or
turning the body. In fact. any number
of these shots in golf will play them
selves if left alone They are set-ups.

Colts Vital Plays
AS Told by Masters
THE SECOND SHOT

backspin when it hits the green, but
the ball rotates from left to right. caus-
ing it to fade. BY cutting under the
ball. II the direction Is correct, 1t will
roll straight for the hole after it hits
the green, and will not be detected by
fluctuations in the turf.
In the New York A. G. and Winged
Foot championships last year I had 10
one-putt greens in 81 holes, but on
most of them my chip shot left me
comparatively simple puts.
Jerry Travers was the greatest ex-
ponent of the chip shot ever saw. He
could get more wrist into a shot than
any one else. OF the present stars
none excels Jim Barnes. Within chip
ping distance Of the green Jim is deadly.
Walter Hagen doesn't employ the
chip shot have described, though
believe 1t won the British champion
ship for him at Hoylake. On the thir-
tenth hole OF the final round he drove
to a trap back of the green, say about
20 feet away. Hagen knew he had to
get par 3 to maintain his ne-stroke
lead over Ernest Whitcomb.
The ball was sitting UP pretty high
In the sand, but no one realized better
than Walter that he could not explode
1t out with any degree Of accuracy. He
finally selected mashie niblick. He
knew that by playing the ball with a
cutback stroke he would get not only
desired height but proper direction and
a better stop to his ball once it hit the
green.
The ball cleared the edge of the trap
and stopped about four feet from the
cup. Hagen took his there and went
on to win the British open champion
ship one stroke ahead of Whitcon1b.

Metzger Analyses
Duncan's Putting
BY SOL METZCER.

In putting-and Abe Mitchell will
fell you George Duncan Is one of the
best--method Is paramount. Dun
can believes you must visualize the
shot in advance. But he lays stress
on his method of Stroking the ball.
The slight press forward of the
clubs handle just before you start
the backswing insures your hitting
the ball on top. That gives it roll.
But all this counts for little unless
you understand just how George
moves the club. He starts it back
with his left hand, a sort of push
back. And he says that in taking it
back the left wrist should be kept
as straight as possible. Bend the
wrist too much and you lose control
of the club.
The other point is to avoid OPEN
ing the club too much on the back
swing. If you do. Duncan argues
that it then becomes almost impos-
Sible to bring it back accurately.
SO he advises one to take the face
back as straight as possible.
He plays the forward stroke with
his right hand. being careful to
carry the clubhead through after
the ball along the line to the cup.

Lassman's Future.
r AMI BEACH has been shelter

AZ AMI BEACH has been shelter
HU ing a young man who might
VE easily have been the next
4 4 heavyweight champion of the
world His name is AL Lass
man. one of the best tackles that ever
wore a. foot ball suit. If foot ball hadn't
given the New York University tackle
terrific punishment for two years In
row he would have been far and away
the best ring prospect in the game TO-
day. Eastman is different from most
of these other college boxers. He had
glove experience and ring experience
before he ever came to college. He
knew how to handle misunderstanding
hands and feet.
Lassman, 6 feet 8. weighing 215
pounds in condition, is faster than most
halfbacks. He is also terrific puncher,
with all the ingredients that might have
made the hardest puncher ever known,
IL foot ball hadn't hammered him SO
heavily for two years. He happens TO
have courage and brains, and these still
count when one starts checking UP
assets.
Just how much his foot ball injuries
will set the big tackle back is some
thing for time to show. But if 1t had
not been for foot ball, he might easily
have been champion within two years,
and one Of the greatest of the lot
a big, fast, hitting, aggressive type
that would have packed any coliseum
now built.
Heading for the Sun.
Over 500 big league ball players will
soon be under way for another dish
of Southern or Western sunlight. In
the American League the main idea
will be to curtail the Yankees. who
now have rolled up three in row. 1t
will be Yankees and Athletics again,
with the Browns moving up closer. but
hardly close enough to overtake Hug
gins or Mack.
In the National League there will be
four cornered scramble among the
Cubs, Giants Cardinals and Pirates.
The Cubs. with Hornsby, have their best
chance since the war. But II Pitts
burgh's Pirates have as much good luck
this season as they had bad luck a
year ago, this team, with Jess Petty
around, will be as dangerous as any
other.
Both leagues ran into tough Spring
last year, Spring full of rains and
raw winds. Weather of this brand cut
away thousands from the seasons run
of admissions. For it happens to be in
