ANNAPOLIS IS 1929
LACROSSE CAPITAL

| ANNAPOLIS, June II. Annapolis
claims championship honors for two of
/ its teams this Season-the leadership
among all the college teams for the
twelve of st. Johns College and the
first place in the intercollegiate La
crosse Association for the Naval Acad-
envy stickmen.
| Both teams were on the short list of
college teams which won all of their
! games, but the fact that st. Johns had
much the sitter schedule is a circurn-
stance which gives its team a higher
general rating than that of the Naval
Academy.
| The work of the twelve of st. Johns
with student body of exactly 278 and
| in the fourth year in which a lacrosse
team had been put on the field, was the
outstanding feature of the collegiate la
crosse season.
st. Johns played and won an even
dozen of games. 1t defeated Maryland.
Johns Hopkins and Rutgers, three of
the four teams which were placed in
the lead the previous year, but did not
play the Navy, which was the fourth of
that group.

Academy, and won by big scores from

days. The OILY close scores were with
the Army. TO 8, and Johns Hopkins,

SIMONDINGER QUITS;
DUPLlN TO GONZAGA

Kenneth Simondinger, successful all
round coach at Gonzaga High School
since 1925, has resigned to accept the
athletic dictatorship of st. Mary's Col
lege of ST. Marys, Kans.
The Gonzaga authorities have offered
the vacated post to Ralph Duplin of
Boston, Mass, who was graduated at
Georgetown University this Spring,
Duplin was varsity gridironer and ball
player and a brilliant student. He
taught mathematics in his senior year.
Gonzaga had the rosiest period in
foot ball in its history during Simon
dinger's regime. In 1925 his eleven was
one of the strongest in the South At
lantic section and numbered among its
victims the Central team, which won
the public high school championship
of Washington.
Gonzaga won the prep school title in
1926 and again in 1928. Simondinger
also turned out winners in basket ball
and base ball.
Duplin was a quarterback on the
Georgetown eleven and in base ball

These fellows seem to make their
hands handle 30 per cent of the
swing" remarked one enthusiast,
after following Jones, Hagen, Farrell
and a few others. II never knew
before how much the hands had to
do in hitting a ball.
Why shouldn't they? The ball is
struck with the head of the club, and
the hands are the only part of the
body that have any grip or touch or
control over the club. Why shouldn't
they do most of the work in so far as
it comes to hitting with the club head q
If the wrists are not too tenSely held
and are not locked, they will then give
the hands their chance. But not even
the wrists can help If the shoulders and
body are locked and stiffened.
No one can see all the details that
take place during an open champion
ship. But the careful student can get
lot of valuable information II he or
she will pick out one or two important
matters, and then see just how these
are handled by the best in the game
The main trouble Is that most of those
galloping with the big crowd watch only
the flight of the ball. They are look
ing for results, not for causes. And
most of those looking for causes are
attempting to watch too many things
at once. One section of the swing is
enough to study at one time. When
you get q clear mental picture of that
pattern, then pick out something else
to look at and think about and store
away in your memory files for future
reference.

on one hole to go on to a possible
championship himself
Playing safe, the contender was on
with his third shot on that long hole,
and about 80 feet from the pin. Hagen
was Is feet away, above the hole, with
his second shot.
Diegel sank his putt from 80 feet.
and when it dropped he felt that VIC
tory was as good as his. The green
was lightning fast, and Walter had a
curling, side hill putt. Under the cir
cumstances it looked impossible, but
nothing is impossible to Hagen. He
dropped that enormously difficult putt
and went on to beat Diegel on extra
holes and eventually to win the title
from Wild Bill Mehlhorn. 1t was a
shot in million, and one I'll never
forget.
1t might be mentioned that Leo had
his revenge this last year when he beat
Hagen and won the P. G. A. cham

1t was the first tim, too, that Hagen
had failed to win it in five years.

The Pioneer HoIdOuts.

If the magnates should persist in the
notion OF revising the base ball salaries
downward 1t might start some of the
players toward becoming serious hold
outs. This would rouse no little indig-
nation among the magnates. Among
those who would be very indignant, in
deed, would be Mr.. John Joseph Nc
Graw and Mr.. Wilbert Robinson. To
them holdoutS are little better than
bolShevistS.
Yet, If the truth were known-and 1t
can be told now-Mr. McGraw and Mr.
Robinson themselves were among the
first holdouts known to the national
pastime. A holdout really Is a player
who wants what he thinks he is worth
made 1t appear that the act of holding
out carries with 1t q certain reproach.
Mr.. Dorsey Guy, who travelled with
the old Orioles, blows the whistle on
Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. McGraw in
the matter of holding out. It seems
that at the conclusion Of very sue
cessful season Mr.. McGraw, Mr..
Robinson. Hughey Jennings, Willie
Keeler and Joseph Kelley reached
the conclusion that they should be
paid $2,400 year. Mr.. Hanlon, who
managed the team. was Of the opin-
ion that $4,000, which was the top
salary for a star base ball player of
tAle gay COS, was more than ade-
quate.
Whereupon McGraw, Robinson, Jen-
| ningS, Keller and Kelley announced
that they would not play for less than
; the sum demanded. Mr.. Hanlon was
firm. The holdout quintet reported for
training, but they insisted that they
would not play in the regular season
unless they got $2,400 q year They
were very firm, but so was Mr.. Hanlon

Dixie GOLF CROWN
AGAIN UNDEFENDED
Brilliant Field Will Strive
for Title Vacated by
Watts Gum.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N 7 ASHVILLE. Tenn, June IL
~ The Southern amateur golf
title will be undefended for the
4 second time in as many years
when some SO golfers begin
over the Belle Meade Country Club
course tomorrow.
Those who seek to mount the throne
of Southern golfdom moved into town
today and prepared for the grind. Some
played complete rounds and others
practiced for some of the greens which
have given the course reputation as a
difficult one.
Watts Gum, formerly Of Atlanta,
but now of Pittsburgh, who took the
George w. Adair Memorial trophy and
the crown to his club last year, will
not defend his title. Two years ago
Harry Ehle surrendered his title with
out raising a club in its defense.
The meet probably will provide as
great an array of champions as ever
sought the Southern amateur honors
despite the absence of Gum.
Emmett Spicer of Nashville, Belle
Meade'S hope. and Glen Crissman of
Selma, Ala, former Southern title
holder, will be on hand
Fred Lamprecht of New Orleans,
twice national intercollegiate champion,
will compete. Reuben Bush, who was
t1nalist in the classic in 1911, has sent
his son George up from New Orleans
to carry on. The entry list had reached
so today.

BY WALTER r.. McCALLUM.

THOUGH scoring among tbs
n top-notchers of the game re-
IA mains very much the same, the
4 \ general level of golf about
Washington has risen very
materially in the past six or seven
years.
Taking the Columbia tournament
alone as an example and discounting
entirely the first flight players (al-
though they are truly indicative of the
whole trend) it will be noted that sew
eral S5s we're drawn out of the fifth
and last flight at Columbia. In other
words 80 men out of the entry list OF
$40 shot 30 or better in the qualifying
round. Many of them were from out
side of Washington, but the bulk of
the entrants came from Capital clubs.
At the Washington tournament
where there were the same number
of qualifiers- 80-several scores of SO
were drawn out Of the last flight, al
though ground conditions during the
washington tourney were not as favor
able for scoring as they were at Co
lumbia last week.
AT Indian Spring the scores were
higher and yet cards of SO barely made
the last fight.
1t has not been so many years ago
that scores of 81 and IS played off for
q place in the first flight at Columbia,
which is taken as indicative of the
general trend because it is the most
popular tournament about Washington
judged by the size of the entry list. In
those days of six or seven years back
scores above 90 qualified in the last
fight. But that day apparently has
passed. The game has moved on at
. faster pace than the old guard can
negotiate.
Probably the scoring spree in which
Columbia found itself was caused as
much as any other factor by the pre-
ponderance in the event OF youngsters,
who have not all played in the other
tournaments.
In the first flight there were such lads
as C. D. Evans, C. w. Cole, H. D.
Nicholson, Tommy Webb and several
others who scored II and better but
who had not figured extensively in
other tournaments during the season.
Any guess as to the relative scoring
of the first fight of today and decade
back would probably reveal that the
winner plays much the same game he
played 10 years ago. But we also recall
when winning golf in the first flight
about Washington meant II or 10.
These days it means 10 or IA to keep
going in major golf tournament.
Roughly, we would estimate the
scoring quality of the game about
Washington has improved four or five
strokes in the past decade. The game
Is much faster than 1t was in the days
when Lee L. Harlan, Allan Lard and
Sam Dalzell were among the top liners
about Washington. They won with IT'S
and 7Ss. Today winning golf must
shade those figures by several strokes
to be in the running.

RUNS MARATHON TO SET
CLEAN LIVING EXAMPLE

BY the Associated Press.
Why, many an observer has wondered,
do men like to run in marathon races?
Here Is one answer:
Nicholas A. Schultz of Mystic, Conn,
was running well in marathons before
the war. Battered by overseas service
in the war, he dropped out of competi-
ton for 10 years. This year he began
training and entered the American
Marathon to Boston, the National A. A
U. championship event.
Why?
Because, Schultz explains, he has a
family of youngsters and he wants to
show them what clean living and ath-
letics will do for man at his age.
And then there Is Benny Hern, tele-
graph messenger, who finished twenty
first last year and who will demonstrate
again this year that he knows how TO
hustle.

competition. His pldy-o6 with Bobby
Jones for the national open title at
InDood 1Uds one OF COILS most drn-

Illness checked his Dictory streak
last year, but he resumed his beau

campaign.
TT putting, the right hand is in con-
troll, but it should not grip the shaft
too tightly. believe in bringing
IL back the clubhead without turning
the blade either way and going
through with the face open toward the
hole.
You can't pick out any one man as
the greatest putter in the game. There
are too many good ones. Bobby Jones,
Walter Hagen, Macdonald Smith,
Johnny Farrell and George Voigt are
as good as any. Voigt's putting has
been somewhat overlooked in the praise
of his iron play and his generally fine
accuracy from tee to green. But he is
remarkably good in sinking puts day
after day.
Farrell gets down as many long puts
as any one, guess. He tells me that
he studied Walter j. Travis method
when he was caddying for that master
Travis, you know, never tried just to
get near the cup. He was always aim
big to sink his ball, no matter how fan
away he happened to be, and it was
amazing how many dropped. That il
a theory I thoroughly subscribe to
Never up, never in" It's better to bt
over than short, for short puts never

I think the greatest putt ever saw
was made by Walter Hagen on thu
thirty-fifth hole of his match with Lee

ship in. 1927.
Leo was up and two to play. I
seemed almost certain that Hagen, whit
had won three consecutive professiona
titles, was due for his first defeat II
years. AL Diegel needed was hal
