There were any number of dep- recating gestures early in the base ball season when such names as Herman and O'Doul began crowding the top of the National League batting list The Implication was clear that this sort of thing was all right in the spring but would be quickly stopped when real hitters like Hornsby, the Waners, Terry Frisch and others swung into the stride.
 But at the end of August, no one except Floyd (Babe) Herman of Brooklyn had been able to stop Frank Gefty) O'Doul of Philadel- phia and no one at all had suc- ceeded in checking the National leagues "Bustin' Babe" The ter rife hitting of these two outfielders attached to second division clubs, ranks as one of the biggest sur- prises of season full of unexpect- ed developments all around.
 There has not been the slightest fluke about the way Herman club bed himself well out in front in the tussle for batting crown that Rogers Hornsby has worn several times in the last nine years. The rangy Brooklyn slugger took over the pace-setting from O'Doul about the middle of June, with a mark of .338. He was up to 1892 on July Is and whaling away at a .413 clip a month later, going toward the September home stretch. A boost of 25 points when the start ing mark is .338 represents mighty consistent hitting, O'Doul was at 1883 the middle of June and 1885 the middle of August to remain constant threat to the leader.

It would be difficult to find two

It would be difficult to find two
 more checkered piayIng careers than those of Herman and ODoul. They are among the boys who
 have made good in spite of all" Herman has been with 13 clubs al- together ODoul has spent most of his time shutting back and forth between the East and Pacific Coast. He once was pitcher with the Yankees, turned to the outfield in 1924 and was voted the most val
 uable player in the Pacific Coast League in 1927 when the Giants drafted him from San Francisco. McGraw thought so little of O'Doul
 that he tossed him in with bundle of cash to get Fred Leach from the Phillies Now Lefty in his first regular job, is also playing the best ball of his career.
 Big Bill Tilden has been some what harassed on the courts over oAAS Pe'ob wv VI tllA CC yCdlo do liC fought gallantly against the inevi- table slide down from the crest
 But Big Bill, for all that he has
 slipped from the heights of 1920-25,
 still has lot of good tennis in
 his system. With no Frenchmen
 in his path, he figures to regain
 some of his old prestige at Forest
 Hills in the national singles cham
 pionship. At 35, Tilden's legs no
 longer can carry him about with
 the old careless ease, the old sure-
 ness, but his experience and strok-
 ing ability should keep him one

TWO HOLES IN ONE MADE
 ON SAME COURSE IN HOUR
Associated Press Photo

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 12.- Two holes-in-one were scored on the golf course of the Wanna moisett Country Club within an hour of each other recently.
 Judge Benjamin w. Grim, using a spade mashie on the 135-yard third hole, lobbed his ball to the green where it rested against the marker in the cup. Forty-five min utes later, William c. Perry scored a hole-in-one with his mid-iron on the I'll yard eighth hole. Both were playing in foursomes.

to one performance week in e season that lasts only about three months at the most but on the basis of drawing power-per game, Cagle is bigger card than Ruth or anyone else in sport, at least for this year.
 The Army captain, in his five main games last fall, furnished the main thrills for some 315,OOO fans. This year, with West Point playing the most pretentious schedule of its history, Cagle's performances are likely to be the main attraction for upwards of 35O,OOO, an average of 10000 spectators for each of five games that will take place in Cambridge, New Haven, New York, Urbana and Palo Alto.
 The biggest worlds series turnout was 328,000, in 1926, when Babe Ruth and the Yankees dropped the final decision to the Cardinals, and it took seven games to roll up that total.
 Jack Dempsey, in his five out standing battles for the heavy
 weight championship, drew an ag- gregate turnout in excess of 50O,- 00O
 All of which seems to show that he big punch, the home run and ,he wild dash through a broken field make up trio of the greatest gate" attractions anywhere in the world of sport.
 It was easier in oaseball's pre- war days for pitcher to collect 70 victories than it was for slug
 ,er to bang out 30 home runs. It wasn't usual for Mathewson, Young, Alexander or Johnson to oag 30 triumphs on, the mound in the old days but it was not until 1920 that Babe Ruth began rock nig the Armament with unpreccd- ented totals of circuit blows.
 Now, the situation is exactly re- yersed, with the 30-or more home run hitter no novelty whatever but the 30-victories-or lover apparently an extinct accomplishment among the boxmen
 Half dozen clouters have pass ed the 30 mark already in home runs and as many more may do so before the season closes.
 Not since Sergeant Jim Bagby turned the trick for Cleveland in 1920 has any twirler registered 30 victories and the spell won't be broken this season. Grove of the Athletics and Grimes of the Pirates got good starts, each reaching the 18th victory around mid-season but they begged down somewhat after that, for one reason or another.
 The clouter, it seems, is making it tougher for the pitcher.
 Most of the star performers Tn he amateur golf championship at Pebble Beach may be pardoned for thinking about Black Wednes- day" with some apprehension, for that's the day when the 32 sur vivors of the qualifying rounds start match play with two 18-hole rounds. Not since he won the title in 1926 has George Von Elm got ten by this particular day of nerve competition and the great Bobby Jones has had his closest calls in those opening tests.

today set about to complete their
I8-hole round, which was ended by
darkness last night Clarence E. Clark,
Tulsa, Okla, and his amateur partner,
Nick Mc1nery of San Bernardino. Calf,
will view the finish seemingly securely
intrenched as winners Of the event by
virtue of a 63 card yesterday.
Although the Oklahoma professional
shot good golf yesterday, he has his
youthful partner to thank for his $3.50
check, the winners share Of the event.
Fortified by an eight-stroke handicap,
McInery turned in IA card, one over
par, for his afternoon performance. In
doing so he had the best score for IL
Of the 18 holes, with Clark making
the round in rs.
The remainder of the prize money
will be divided among the seven pro-
fessionals who with their amateur part
ners tied for second place one stroke
behind the leaders. Many of the out
standing golfers who have been making
o regular appearance in the Journeys on
the Pacific Coast this Winter did not
appear in the event, resting UP for the
$4,000 Pasadena, Calf. open, which
starts Friday.
A check Of the cards Of those COM

only an outside chance for any OF them
to enter into the money winning class.
The teams tied for second place with

was the first of the mashie masters and
there are many who will insist he never
has had an equal in the manipulation
of that club. With the mashie and
putter Taylor was very much Vardon's
superior. but lacked the accuracy with
other weapons possessed by the i'm
mortal Harry.
In winning his fourth championship
at Deal. 1909, Taylor turned in the re-
markable score of 295 and that stood
all tests until Bobby Jones fired his 291
to win at Lytham and st. Annes in
1926. A score of 295, 20 years ago rep
resented master stroking for the high
velocity ball had not yet been created
and golfers did not have the keen
weapons with which par now Is defied
Taylor was not the traveller Vardon
was and made few trips to the States.
But back in 1900 he came across with
Harry and was second to his companion
in the United States open at the Chica-
go Golf Club. ~. H" still remains the
greatest golfer ever produced in Devon
shire. He grew up on the fairwavs of
Westward Ho and along the shore from
which the men of Drake put out to
repel the Spanish Armada centuries be-
fore the world became a golf course
He is one of the most respected men in
British golf and his opinion is valued
highly in every part of the golfing
world.
May Heed Call Again.
Perhaps Taylor may again enter the
championship field, for it is difficult for
the old timers to resist the call when
the hawthorn blooms and April comes
to England. But should his retirement
be permanent, he has left an indelible
stamp upon golf He was the last CT
the Goths who sacked fairways and
raided bunkers from one end of the
islands to the other and it is unlikely
there ever will be another quartet t0
compare with Vardon, Taylor, Herd and
Braid.
England has been searching for their
successors since the resumption of golf,
after the war, without success. Abe
Mitchell probably is the outstanding
professional in the empire with Archie
Compston close second, but these two
lack the ability of the old giants and
until greater players are produced
Britain must revel in the deeds of the
old heroes while American professionals

KEARNS' HOLE-IN-ONE
COMPLIMENT TO HIM

John Kearns, chief golf course con-
naire of the public golf courses of
Washington, built a new green at the
fifth hole at Rock Creek Park several
weeks ago. He built it carefully and
turned out fine job. And just tC
prove that he knew the kinks Of the
green he had built he made hole-in-
one on the hole yesterday with q
maShie that he had just obtained dur
ing the day, club that was completed
only an hour or two before he went
out to play.
The hole is los yards in length and
the feat was witnessed by Harry Ora
ham, Rock Creek Park course manager
and Robert Peddicord.
The golf course Of the Annapolis
Roads Club has been closed to play
until next March, Talbot T. Speer
chairman of the golf committee of the
club, announced today, to prepare the
fairways and greens for next seasons

Harold Keats, chairman Of the green's
committee, said the club has taken this
step to insure proper playing condi-
tionS for next year. THE club putting
greens last season attracted the atten-
ton Of golfers throughout this section
and we're said to be among the finest
in this part Of the country despite the
fact that they were not year old"
Keats said. I'VE intend that the fair
ways will be comparably as fine and
to this end we are building up the soil
this Winter, planning o water system TO
see them through the Summer drought
and reseeding and top dressing. We
also. are giving the green's heavy top
Col. Charles DENLY, president Of the
club, Is pleased with the progress the
club has made in its short period OF
existence. ALTHOUGH the club has been
in existence only six months progress
has been so rapid that the executive
committee has determined to discon-
tinue the allotment of life memberships
in connection with the Beach and
Tennis Club" Col. DENLY said. I'VE
feel that a limit now must be placed
on the number of members in order
that all may have a chance to play"
Walter r. Hall, who served as club
professional during the past season, has
left the post and is working In wash
ington. The club, according to Keats,
now is receiving applications for the
professional berth, and number OF
pros already have applied. An an

And he declared that If he qualified il
would be his last appearance in the

performers as Harry Vardon, Jamie
Braid Sandy Herd and Taylor and
while they still are robust and in Wig
orous health. their games and their
swings soon will be only a memory to
those fortunate enough to have seen
them, and a glowing legend to those
born too late.
Taylor is one of the greatest golfers
ever to swing a club and the more re-
markable because when we'll past so he
still could give good account of him
self in both the open and match play
championship. He met Abe Mitchell,
the ultimate winner. in the first round
at wentworth and gave the long
smasher rugged battle to the final
putt. Aging muscles are the only thing
ever to affect Taylor's game, for his
mastery over a perverse golf ball is al
most as keen as ever.
Taylor and his three contemporaries
set record In golf that probably never
will be equaled. Starting in 1904 when
Taylor won his first open champion

Your grip for pitch shots can be
the same as for the wood, even
though many stars alter it. Proof
of this lies in the fact that Harri-
son Johnston won the United States
amateur championship this year
with the same grip for all shots. In
fact, for the player who has little
time for practice and who gets in
but few rounds a week it is bet
ter for him to simplify his game by
sticking to the same grip.
Chick Evans brings out an inter-
esting point about iron play. After
much experimenting over long
period of years this master of the
