Good Pitching Essential.

A pennant-winning ball club must
have good pitching. We had good pitch
ing last season. I am inclined to think
that any manager in the two big leagues
would be perfectly willing to trade his
stan for mine. There is no better right
handler than Earnshaw. Grove and WAL
breg are outstanding among the left
handlers. Rommel and Quinn did great
relief work.
Despite the fact that our pitching
was good enough to win last season, I
feel that we have added strength to
this very important department. Ma
haffey Of Portland of the Coast League
locks best. My scouts tell me that he
is ready to win in the majors. We also
expect some help from Breckenridge
the Dartmouth collegian. who was with
us all of last season, but was used very
little
While it is my intention to stand pat
on my regulars, do not fear injuries
to them as l did last season because
We have far better reserves in case Of
accidents, and a more powerful corps
of pinch-hitters. Wally Schang should
be very helpful in pinch-hitting roles,
and is still high-class catcher, able
to step in and deliver should anything
happen to Cochrane.

TaiI-Ender Fights.


The teams all the way down to the

every effort to keep the race close. A
couple weeks ago Silver Spring turned
on st. Johns and took all three games
when the latter had a chance to 90 into

by the failure of Earl Keeler to bowl
up to his past standard plus the loss

 The latest to receive a share of stock is the prime minister of Cam ada. The association has received a letter from him expressing thanks flor this interesting souvenir

 FOR RANCH SITE.

Kodiak has tentatively been se- lected by Martin Miller of Buhl, Idaho, as the place where he will establish a sheep ranch next sum mer or fall, reports the Fairbanks News Miner. MT. Miller, who ar- rived i'd Fairbanks with his wife, made a trip to the westward before coming to the Interior and found conditions on Kodiak for sheep ranching very favorable
 He made the trip to Fairbanks for the purpose of looking over this sheep raiser and while ne believes country from the viewpoint of the sheep could be ranged in the Tam ana the year around, the higher cost Of bringing animals in would be a factor in favor of the westward when that region is compared with the Interior.
 MT Miller has not made any def mite plans but he indicated it is likely that he may establish a ranch on Kodiak, with loo head, or on some adjacent island There is plenty of feed available there, 1t was said, and climatic conditions are favorable.

CONCENTRATION on how to
swing, how to break the wrists,
how to handle the body shift
and all the other factors that
90 into the successful golf swing may
have their place with some people, but
the vast majority of golfers must be
satisfied to let their muscles remember
what to do and must not exercise con-
scious control over all the manifest
processes that go into the swing, ac-
cording to DR.. Bruce L. Taylor, presi-
dent of the District Golf Association,
a man who has given nearly 20 years
to an intensive study of why golf
ball performs as it does.
DR.. Taylor believes that muscle
training is the only way in which a
golf ball may be successfully hit, and
that for a player to remember all the
thoughts impaired to him by instructors
at the instant the swing is made, is
asking so much that 1t Is impossible
in practice. II find that if I think
how to stand, think how to turn my
wrists, think to curtail my back swing,
and then think that I must not start
to flub the shot," DR.. Taylor says.
But If I 60 out there without thinking
of any particular part of the swing, of
the stance or of whether my feet look
right, can usually get off successful
shot. I am convinced that muscle
memory is the thing to cultivate, and
not the thinking processes that pro-
duce the tailor made golfer. That is
the reason, I believe, why youngsters
