firm tone in the face of considerable
cash selling to establish income tax

slightly, more than made up its early

pear in the first two hours, but the
common shares were slightly higher.
The rails and motors, the former in

SIGN GRID PACT

CHICAGO, May 27.-A second
two-year contract, heretofore kept
secret, was revealed today be-
tween West Point and the Uni
versity of Illinois, proving that
the two institutions have ar
ranged home and home football
games for 1888 and 1894
The new contract forces post
ponement of the new Western
Conference decree barring compe-
tition between Big Ten schools
and the Army. The ruling prob
ably will not become effective
until 1885 when the West Point
Illinois agreement has oeen car
ried through.
The conference faculty commit
tee ruled at its meeting last Sat
urday that no further competi.
ton will be held between Big Ten
universities and institutions which
do not observe the three-year
eligibility rule.
This move was generally
interpreted as aimed directly
at West Point. The ruling
provided, however, that all
existing contracts be carried
through to completion.
Although the new contract had
been drawn up prior to Saturday,
neither institution had announced
it. Carl Lundgren, acting di-
rector of athletics at Illinois Uni
verSity, said last night that the
two schools had agreed on games
in 1888 and 1884. Major Philip,
director of athletics at West
Point, confirmed Lundgren's S
statement.

HIT LOW BALL
.|NTOSTRONG
WIND
By HORTON SMITH

When one asks me what con-
slider the best method Of making
an approach shot I always have
to stop and think for a moment
as there are so many varieties
that an offhand answer might be
misleading. The condition Of the
course, the weather, the tempera,
ment of the player, the club one
uses and other items might enter
into the argument or discussion.
Recently I played one of the
English courses but conditions
were such that I kept changing
from one style of approach to
another to determine which
would give me the best results.
The green's were backed as hard
as asphalt and we'll pitched
shot would run wild; not even
back spin would serve to control
the ball when it dropped,
In a case like this, the pitch
and run is advisable and all four
of the members of the foursome
fell to playing it. There were
times where a pitch was neces-
sary but not one of us felt GER
tain that we were going to get
near the pin.
Now if the ground had
been wet and heavy as we
find most golf courses in the
spring months, not one of us
would have attempted low
pitch and run as a high
pitch would have been the
proper thing.
If a strong wind were blowing,
a high pitch would be unsafe and
we would be compelled, for
safety's sake, to keep the ball
low. resorting to a back-Spin shot
with a medium amount of height.
In recommending an approach
shot it is therefore necessary 10
have some knowledge OF condl-
tions. ,
Another point to be considered
is that of personal choice. Prac-
tically ever since 1 began to play
in important tournaments l have
preferred to pitch the ball, en-
ploying a certain amount OF back
spin. but I am not prepared to
say that this is the correct shot
as there are a number of famous
players who have different ideas.
will insist, however, that
this style or method of ap-
preaching suits me best and
in nine cases out of ten 1
find it the most dependable.
I think that I would be safe
in saying that this shot is an
American invention. At least the
back-spin shot such as we use
in America was not known in
Great Britain prior to 1920
Some of the leading experts on
the other side had made strong
objection to the small heavy ball
because they insisted that it
could not be brought to a dead
stop on the green unless cond1'
tions we're favorable-meaning
of course, the right slope, to the
green, wet ground, etc.

spin to the ball. Chances
are you also let your body
weave forward, which is really
what does the damage, since
the rolling of the forearms
through the ball would not
hook the ball if you held your
head to a fixed place and
swung through only with the
arms; on the contrary the roll
ing would add to the effective
ness of the stroke. A conscious
effort to. hit with the right
hand, just as the ball is taken,
also can make you hook unless
your stroke is directionally
across from the inside out, in
which event you can get away
with 1t.

Seventy-seven per cent OF
Washington baseball fans want
the local games to start at 3
o'clock or earlier, and I believe
the powers who be within the

would be making a very wide
appeal indeed, were they to
listen to this vast majority Of
their clientele.

AMBITION BIG
REASON; ALSO
. HARD WORK
BY GARRETT WATERS

LICK NOUIlC1 oIICdu 10 dAA4bAOAOAD'
He is also a pitcher of baseballs
and when you get that combina-
ton you're or the road to some
sort of success. Dick hurls for
the Saks Nine which plays in the
unlimited division. And here's
where his ambitiousness comes in.
Dick organized the Saks team
about two years ago. 1t was then,
like every new team, ineXperl.
enced, unawares of any real
organization value, nothing but
collection of boys anxious to play
ball.
First Dick spent hours of
concentration and work in
moIding the ideas of his
mates into real organization.
Thus educated, he next spent
endless hours in drilling them
into the better playing Of
plausible baseball.
Successful in that Dick then
set to work in bettering himself
because he was a pitcher and to
Npitch he had to deliver his best
or sit on the bench which was
not his idea of fully enjoying a
baseball game or team even
though he was the manager.
After weeks of hard work
Dicks team came around and he
came around with it until last
wear it was held as one Of the
strongest on the sandlotS. Dick,
too, was marked as one Of the
clever boys on the pitching
mound And all because OF. his
concentrated work both with his
boys and himself.
Now Dicks team is enjoy
ing a successful winning
streak. A good start this year
has meant whole lot and
has inspired him alone to his
best efforts. Dicks like most
all pitchers. When the going
is GOOD he is also good.
So far this year Mothershead
has not lost a game while pitch
ing. In the last three games he
has allowed is opponents but four
runs, and that's some pitching,
especially on the sandlots, where
free-hitting and loose games are
usually the. rule. Dick started
his performance by letting the
Army Headquarters nine down
with one run while his mates
piled up eight to win.
Then against the Diamond
Cab nine he pitched alright
ball, never letting a runner
cross the plate, while his
mates won, to O. Recently
against the Alexandria Cardi-
nails he gave up three runs,
the most he's been scored on
this season, his mates win
ming, to 3.
Such pitching is pleasing to
Dick, who naturally takes a
great deal of interest in his
work. Because he started the
