Tales of a Wayside Tee
BY GRANTLAND RICE

This early Winter and Spring season
Of golf has already pushed two pro-
spective champions into the limelight-or
spotlight. They are Helen Hicks, the
sensational girl player of Long Island,
and Horton Smith, the 81 or % year.
old professional from Joplin, Mo. Here
you have two of the greatest young
stars the game has known since the APP
pearance of Bobby Jones and Glenna
Collett. Miss Hicks has now won three
big tournaments in a row down South.
She has beaten such stars as Maureen
circuit, Virginia Van VIE and Mrs.
Reinhardt, annex national champion
ship. The young Long Islander is both
strong and supple. She can hit a golf
ball almost as far as any young woman
in the game today and she is getting
better control Of her short game under
fire.
Miss Hicks is almost certain to win a
championship in the next two or three
years possibly before she is 20. AS far
as that goes, she Is good enough to win
a championship now, with the right
breaks. Her power Is a big factor.
Power helped to make Helen Wills and
it helped TO make Glcnna Collett. It is
helping to make Helen Hicks one Of
the coming sensations of the new sea-
son.
Horton Smith isn't riding so far on
power. He has only about three

through the land as golfers resume their
attempts to conquer the uncomfortable
game again. The annual meetings of
the Middle Atlantic Golf Association
last night officially opened the season,
although the courses about Washington
generally remained closed because of
bad ground conditions. The midatlantic
meeting had little of importance to
come before it, and was given over
largely to awarding of places and dates
for the two major tournaments held
annually by that body
A week hence, the District Golf Asso-
citation will meet to consider two i'm
portant changes in the constitution, and
officially set dates for the two cham
pionship tournaments held by that body.
1t is also customary at the District
meeting to finally fix the dates for the
several invitation tournaments held
about Washington.

n EW YORK, March 1.-THE re-
luctance of the Waner brothers,
VI Paul and Lloyd, to sign their
/ contracts for the season of 1929
has developed an unusual sort
of disturbance among the players of
the Pittsburgh team who are at PaSo
Robes.
Those now at work think the Pirates
have a chance to win the pennant and
play In another world series. Naturally
they are eager to have the season Gull
inmate for them in that manner, but
they are not foolish enough to think
they have as good chance to win
without the Waners as they would have
with them.
Ball players are very practical now
adays in looking at anything in which
money is involved. The world series
has led up to that sort of thing. and the
owners must bear the burden of trouble
II there Is such thing as trouble in
made the world series much a matter
of finance by their disposition to get
their "cut" out of 1t. Perhaps if the
owners had adhered more strictly to
the policy of making the event one for
the players only, they would have less
trouble with some of the young men
they deal with each Spring and Winter.
Pirates Not Pleased.
The ball players of the Pittsburgh
club assume that their chance to win
the National League championship and
get into the world series increases in
proportion to the work to be had from
the Waners. Therefore they think the
famous brothers are doing them hurt
as serious as any injury being inflicted
upon the owner of the club. In fact,
some of the players think the Waners
are hurting them more than they are
Barney Dreyfuss and his son.
One of them said:
Some of us won't be in major
league base ball much longer. Here we
have a team that is as apt to come
through as New York or Chicago, and
the Waners should be as ready to help
us as they are to help themselves.
I'm our time we have done some share
to help the Waners. Some of us were
players of the Pittsburgh club when the
Oklahoma kids got their share of money
and fame out of base ball. and we help
ed to make them because we helped to
make Pittsburgh a winner. If they had
been with losing team, where would
they be now. They wouldn't even be
in a position to demand big money.
Any player who is member Of good
base ball team can afford to gamble
little on the. chance to share in the big
pot after the championship season is
over"

Miller. B. Stevinson's statements have
always been true in the past. We have
always found the District champion to
be man of the utmost yeracity, and
one who would rather lose a champion
ship by dozen strokes than make a
misstatement of fact. But Steve" Is
just back from the Southland with a
yarn that sounds like the pipe dreams
Of duffer rather than the sober state
ment of player who knows about all
there is to know about this tricky game
Scotland wilfed to us.
STEVENSON claims that while in Florida
he was putting on the eighth green of
course near Lakeland, 308 yards from
from the tee, whizzed over his head and
struck the back edge of the green to
vanish in the tall grass behind the
putting surface. On its face it is Just
another one of those instances which
cause endless argument as to Just what
distance golf ball may be driven Oh
the carry. No one has yet settled that
argument satisfactorily, but Stevinsons
story makes 1t appear that some one has
at least succeeded in driving a golf
ball far enough to carry more than 300
yards.
The District champion insists it was
driven from the tee, over the inference
Of j. e. Bains that possibly the anony-
nous long hitter had topped his tee
shot and played healthy iron shot
from an unseen piece of rough.
STEVENSON professionally is sincere,
and he is not given to exaggeration. But
we have seen some long wallops, and we
have yet to see one carry more than
270 yards-even one of the best hit by
the mastodon of Indian Spring..
Munr0e Hunter, who probably ranks
with the worlds big hitters.
Only fortnight remains before the
click of the wooden club and the loud
walls following missed puts will resound

BERMUDA net TITLE


HAMILTON, Bermuda, March a.
Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Va.
won the woman's tennis championship
of Bermuda today, defeating Miss M. j.
Harland of England in the final, TO,
Ga, SO.
There were plenty of thrills in the
international duel between Miss Harland
and Miss Anderson. The losers forte
was her powerful deep driving, by which
she won the first four games. Miss
Anderson then seemed to solve the prob
lem by effective court covering and mix
ing up her shots, pulling up to make it
4-all From then on it was nip and tuck
with the American player finally forced
to yield the first set before her OPP
ponent's impetuous rally,
In the second set also Miss Ander-
son started poorly. but this time she was
able to come from behind to win it,
sauaring the match and then taking the
deciding set. Miss Anderson employed
a we'll rounded net game and decisive
vollying.
j. Gilbert Hall, young Orange, N: j.,

Herbert L. Bowman of New York and

The woman's doubles title went to
Gladys Hutchings of Bermuda and Miss
Harland as a result of a decisive 6-1.
60 triumph over Miss Anderson and

Critics says she Is as good as Miss

The Recovered tumble.
To judge from many of the COM
mentS written, there is now no penalty
for fumbling a foot ball and no reward
for recovering a tumble.
On the other side, there is the PEN
atty of losing the ball. which means
from 20 to 60 yards, and there is the
reward of taking over the ball and kick
ing it back out of danger.
