But, l0ddte, neDeT mind It,
For What you haze not found before
Is faoUel tDten you ind 1t.
EoR many years base ball has had
IL pretty much the same rules Three
strikes. four balls, three out. It's
the same old game. yet 1t always is new.
In all the games which have been
played since the pastime was invented,
l doubt If any two were exactly the
same.
So here we are coming TO another
world series. We have seen many a
world series in the past. but that doesn't
help us to forecast anything concerning
this one. 1t may be the stupidist series
ever played, or it may be more full of
thrills than the subway change booths
are of nickles.
I THINK this world series may prove
i a real contest. You may have no.
ticed that Gabby Street frequently
warns up his pitchers. Most managers
leave this job to second-string catcher.
This may be one reason why the st.
Louis pitching staff changed from a
rather frail-looking set of reeds to a
bunch of sturdy oaks. It is quite a
trick to turn reed into an oak, but
Street has done 1t.
Dill f1dIlliidIl, fOyl-
vester johnson, Jess Haines and Flint
Rhem form pitching staff stronger
than many others which have pitched
teams to glory, and one plenty strong
enough to give a good account OF itself
in any series There Is a collection
which includes speed, skill and courage.
THE Athletics rather think that
i Frisch, Douthit and Bottomley are
the men to watch. l would not
deny it, but I also would recommend
the Mackmen TO keep their eyes on
Adams, Hafey and Watkins, and not to
overlook absolutely Colbert, Mancuso
and Blades.
In other words. that whole ST. Louis
batting order will bear watching. Not
that all of them viii hit In a world
series there are always soma men who
hit in hard luck. driving the ball at
| fielders. and others who may be in "a
temporary slump. but what mean to
indicate is that all of the Cards appear
| 10 b. money players, men who may come
through with hit In a most annoying
place for their adyersaries.
| CIhfMONS and Coehrane are great
~ players, and don't claim ST. Louis
can match them, but / will take
| Colbert and Frisch in preference 70
Boley and Bishop for all-around value
Frisch looks like the best second base
| mHn in the game today And that St
Louis outfield is strong combination.

Of empty ringside, grandstand

AS Should Cop,' Says Griff,
They've Got More Power"
By JOE HOLMAN

Clark Griffith Washington club president was today all set
root for Pladephas Athletics in the world series which
gets under way Wednesday,.
The Washington times., 1930-09-29

In other words, amateur golf.
once imbued with the notion that
its champion had his fallible mo-
ments-now realizes in a dull,
Spiritless way that it hasn't q
chance and spends one full week
in proving it. AS for 36-hole golf,
only one man. George Won Elm,
even so much as attempted to give
Jones a match in seven long
years.
IL was an inspired Won Elm
who did this and it won him the
championship in 1925 but since
then Won Elm hasn't lasted past
the second round and today he is
just another golfer. It was his
passing in that now-famous twen-
ty-eight hole match with Maurice
McCarthy-in addition to the
early elimination Of Harrison
Johnston, the 1929 champion:
Willing. Voigt, Sweetser and Oui-
met-that helped to make the
Merton tournament a one-man
exhibition.
Johnston didn't even qualify in
his own tournament. Won Elm
went out the first day of match
play. Voigt quickly followed.
Sweetser lasted to the Semi-finalS
but unfortunately he had to meet
Jones there and the master won
by 8 and 8. He shot an ap-.
proximate ~ over the first
eighteen holes of this match,
which was fair enough but not
quite the thing that Jones can
do when the spirit moves him.
He knew that he didn't have to
be at his best to win. N,
In fact, this seemed to be his at
titude throughout the tournament,
even when shooting his SO of the
qualifying round and in meeting
Fay Coleman, supposed to be bet
ter than Charley Seaver, the 19-
year-old sensation Of the early
rounds.
As for Jones' play against
Gene HOmans in the final
round, he all too seldom shoots
80 for nine holes. even when
he isn't trying. Yet indiffer-
ent as this performance was,
he turned for home 2 up.
Perhaps one Of the younger set,
like Seaver, Lawson Little or the
Dunlaps, George and Gibson. will
bring the spirit of flaming youth
into play to give Jones something
Of a contest IN the years to come.

BY DAVIS ). WALSH

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-It re-
mained for Jerome Dunston TraV- ,
ers, himself a four-time amateur
champion in the days when he
could and did play golf, to offer
the only possible commentary
today on the fact that Bobby
Jones' had won the National Anna.
teur championship at Merton on
Saturday. The victory meant
that Jones not only had won one
championship but four for the
year, five for amateur competi-
ton and l3 for life, each of these
a record so unique that it is ur1-
likely that the world will ever
see their approach, let alone their
equal.
At least MIR. TraVers
thought so and the reasons
he felt that way were sue
cinctly two in number: First,
that Jones was too good ever
to be eQualIed; second, that 4
he has the field Of golf 80
cOwed that no successor, how
ever good, could hope to find
the same tractability in his
opponents.
It is fact, not fancy, that the
psychology Of any amateur match
in which Jones is a player has
changed abruptly since the mas
ter sorcorer began brewing his
magic. He couldn't win the anna
teur championship between 1915
end 1928, in spite of his great
ability. Why? Because he always
met some opponent who for one
dazzling day at least was u1beat-
able.
It was an established fact in
those days the man who played
Bobby Jones always played a little
better than his best. Today, the
reverse is the case.
This statement is made in full
realization of the fact that Jones
almost was beaten in the 18-hole
rounds of the opening day of 1926,
1927 and 1928, and that he did
lose one of these to Johnny
Goodman at Pebble Beach last
year. But these opponents pros
pered not so much through the
fact that they played so very well.
but rather because Jones played
more or less badly. He thought
at the time that he couldn't play
l8-hole golf. He knows better
now.
The Washington times., 1930-09-29

Not only did he survive al
most an entire week Of lH-
hole play in the British
amateur championship In
May, but he won both Of his
1S-hOle matches at Merton ON
Wednesday by the rather spa
~iOuS margin Of 5 up and 4 to
