OWNERS ANNOYED
1 BY SH|RES AFFAIR
Held Within Power of Mag
mates to Prevent Men
Entering Ring.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

n A AJOR league magnates will see
M to it now that no other base
vi ball player has the opportunity
to emulate the ring career OF
the great Arthur Shires.
When the Texan first entered the
ring and up until last week the mag
mates either paid no attention to his
endeavors to become the Charlie Chap
lin of the squared circle or else re-
garded him with the proper amount OF
levity.
But when Shires was hailed before
the Michigan Boxing Commission and
charged with having attempted to make
a dry-diving champion of Battling
Criss the base ball people came to life
and began TO realize the seriousness Of
the affair.
Few persons in base ball believe that
Shires personally was guilty of having
attempted to frame a fight. But they
appreciate that the innuendo left by the
affair is not at all favorable to their
game, and they want no more OF It.
1t is within the power of major
league club owners to prevent their
players from participating in any ath-
1etic activity outside of base ball. Sec
ton of the contractual regulations of
the major leagues reads:
Rule TO Stop Boxers.
1.-THE player, while under contract or
reservation shall not engage without
the consent of his club in any game or
exhibition of base ball Except for the
club or for an assignee of this con-
tract). foot ball, basket ball or other
athletic sport"
In view of the Shires affair some
more severe regulations for the conduct
of major league players during the off,
season shall be formulated.
1t Is quite certain that the matter
will come UP for serious discussion at
the next meeting of each major league
and that the two probably will unite
In formulating new regulations. Shires
Is the only base ball player actually to
have entered the ring during the pres
ent outbreak of Winter unrest, but
many others have threatened to do so
and the club owners are becoming tired
OF the entire affair and its attendant
publicity.
The major league clubs have pre-
vented many fine foot ball and basket
players from picking up loose change
during the offseason and the sentiment
Is that boxing should come under the
same classification as other sports.
No Action Likely.
There is little likelihood that Com
missioner Lands will take any action
against ShireS on the charges that
have been made so far. Should he be
found guilty by either the Michigan
Boxing Commission or the N. B. A.,
then Lands would make an iryestipa-
ton of his own and be guided by the
findings Of his own men.
American Leaguers, while not be-
lieving Shires guilty of any crookedness,
are hoping the suspension hung on him
by the N. B. A. and the unfavorable
publicity he has received will definitely
end his pugilistic career and turn his
thoughts back to base ball

GOLFERS IN WEST
NEAR END OF CARD
Los Angeles, Aqua CaIiente
Events to Draw Fine
Pro Fields.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, January THE Far
M West is about to say adieu to
| professional followers of the
Winter golf trail with shower
Of gold for a parting gift.
Two big tournaments-the Los An
geles and Aqua Caliente opens-will
mark the end Of the big-money Winter
events on the Pacific Coast. Ten thou
sand dollars will find its way into the
pockets Of the pros at the end Of the
Los Angeles open which begins to-
morrow. Prizes totaling $4,000 will be
distributed in the Aqua Caliente open
starting next Tuesday.
There are score of golfers good
enough to win either or both of these
events, but the lad who will be most
closely watched, perhaps, is Horton
Smith, the Joplin ghost" who again
is showing the way to the Winter cam
paigners.
Berkeley open and the Pasadena open,
with a second in the Hawaiian open,
have netted Smith money prizes total
ing approximately $4,000. His three VIC
tories all have been won with 72-hoie
score of $50, an average Of 20 for each
Of IL eighteen-hole rounds. A few more
rounds like that, put together, will
make the Joplin youth formidable
contender at Los Angeles and Aqua
Caliente.
Diegel May Go Well.
Leo Diegel, Professional Golfers As
ISOLATION champion, may decide to fash
his best golf in the two last tourna-
ments, especially at Aqua Caliente. Leo
is the pro at Aqua Caliente, and prob
ably will be anxious not only to capture
the major share of the $4,000 purse
but to show his employers that he can
tour his own course in better figures
than any of the invaders.
Walter Hagen hasn't had any luck
at all so far this Winter, but the British
open title holder is at his best when
most is at stake. He won't have any
more $4,000 prizes to shoot at after
Aqua Caliente. Craig Wood, the long
driving Bloomfield, N. j.. pro, started
out we'll, with victories In the Oklahoma
City and Hawaiian opens, but hasn't
done much since. He may come to life
either at Los Angeles or Aqua Caliente.
ReinforcementS will arrive from
Florida at Aqua Caliente. Gene Sarazen,
fresh from his fourth victory in the
Miami open, plans to take shot at
the big purse, as will a number OF other
pros who have been spending the Win
ter on the Southeastern Coast.

You encounter this when you come
to the chip shot. Experts agree that
the chip is nothing but long ap-
preach putt played with a lofted
club, such as mashie or jiCger.
It's a valuable shot to know and
a hard one to master, because of
the touch necessary to gauge dis
lance exactly. But what a stroke

- third baseman of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, figures that all his team
needs to put it out in front in
the fight for the 1880 National League
pennant is one bang-up good shortstop.
Pie confides to this observer his be-
lief that If the Pirates can get short
stop who is as good as the outfielders
they will give the Chicago Cubs a
rousing battle from the start Of the
season to the finish.
The Pittsburgh third baseman was
physically upset before the past season
ended and more upset after it had
ended, for he exerted all of the base ball
skill in his system in an effort to win
a pennant for the Pirates. He threw
himself around the infield so recklessly
that he was blackened and bruised.
They tell me that we have some
prospective shortstops for 1880 who are
good enough to make the team" said
Pie. IF they will show me one good
one I'll say that we'll never be out of
the first division all season."

Approach Putt
BY SOL METZGER.

The descending scale of golf shots
from drive to putt are played much
alike, the same principles governing
them. The differences are in the
length one is striving for. Wrists,
arms and body are used for the
longer shots. Wrists, arms and very
little body in the irons. Wrists and
arms alone play the chips and puts.
In other words as you ascend the
scale you apply more power But
the principle of play is the same

well, there's Sankey. for one. He
played in Selma, Ala, in 1929 and the

think a player out of class D can fall

who had no class experience of any
kind. He was neither A nor 2 nor
anything between, and what has he
done for us? Started just a kid and
last year he was the best kid in the

there is to learn about playing big
league ball, but I've seen big league
players of long experience who couldn't
handle themselves any better than he
does.

that he can't bat hard enough to make

Engle Of Memphis. Southern Associa-
