we have always thought lent a

Some friends recently re-
turned from Atlanta where they
played Bobby Jones home

they gave away the secret OF

good-the same being that al
most any other course in the
world would be child's play be

lake.
It seems that Jones doesn't
allow himself to become soft,
so long as he adheres to his
home course. The fairways are
rough and stony. There are
four water holes, one of the
greens is an island surrounded
by canals. Trees and mud
abound the course and a por-
ton of every green is always
undergoing replanting or some
sort of change as against the
alternating seasons.
In summer the winter greens,
a few feet away from the cup,
are being plowed or replanted
and in winter the summer
greens are always. undergoing
some rehabilitation, making it
always imperative to land a
few feet away from the cup or

proaches and subsequent putt

informant, is like a corn field

courses around Washington.

As minutes, but Washington
and Boston have played two
games in as many days in
1888 and 1874 respectively.
Reports of the games didn't
say so, but reports Of the
weather up in the Hub indi-
cate both teams had to play
fast in order to keep up their
blood circulation. This should
please President Barnard who
long since has been advocating
less lettering in games.
You would have to look q
long way before finding an
outfield that can cover more

sloweSt birds in the world by a
long shot.
In the last two days we have
been alternately regaled with
stories that Earl Webb and
George Loepp would succeed
Sam West in the Washington
outfield, but apparently Sam is
going to have something to say
about that. His home run OF
yesterday wasn't OF any particu-
lar help to either Loepp or
Webb, in ousting him; and we
thought. that double of Sans
here on the opening day showed
he was getting his eye on the

whereas Goslin has gotten two

the Old Roman of the Chicago

concerned and that DOME Bush

HIS FAST ONE
| FOOLS PALS .
At BAT
BY BOB THAYER

by BOB THAYER
BOSTON, Mass, April 17.-Ad
Liska is ready to go.
Yesterday the youthful subma-
zine ball pitcher found himself
Cutting loose in batting practice,
ne showed worlds of stuff for the
first time this year.
THAT settles it," Walter
johnson remarked while grin
ming gladly.
That's not batting prac-
tice pitching-that's the real
thing"
The hitters agreed with Walter.
II can't get a foul off him."
Ossie BIuege complained after
taking his icks.
"Same here" Goose GOslin
echoed, "when he gets that
fast one around your knees
it's just too bad"
The Washington times., 1930-04-17

Walter does not wish to create
the impression that there is any
dissension on his team. Rather
he insist he is ready to take
measures which will eliminate
any possible friction which might
arise.
In the past johnson has been
rather easy-going with his men.
Sensing that his 1880 club is set
to get somewhere, however. he is
taking steps to get the most out
of his men. And in order to do
SO he believes an understanding
is necessary.
T won't ask anything OF
the fellows I wouldn't be will
ing to do myself" he re-
marked today, "but they've
got to do things my way.
I'm running this ball club, and
the sooner the players get wise
to it the better off we all will be-"
This morning johnson and Sad
Sam Jones, veteran pitcher, were
to 90 in conference. An outbreak
yesterday very nearly resulted In
the latter'S penalization.
Jones, apparently under the i'm
preston that he was to pitch
first in batting practice, was pre-
pairing to warm up when john
son advised him that a youngs-
ter, who is getting the once over,
was to precede him.
Ired at this turn Of affairs
Jones disgustedly threw the ball
at the home plate.
The substance of the converse
tion that followed was:
JohnsOn-'Tf you don't
like the way this ball club Is
being run you'd better 60
home"
JOnes-"AII right. Get me q
ticket and I'll go home"
JOhnsOn-"If that's the way
you feel 90 in and take off
your uniform"

JOHNSON BEST
.HURLER, SAYS
GRAY EAGLE

Speaking over the radio, Iris
Speaker, the Gray Eagle Of
Baseball ranked the Athletics
Of 1910 as the greatest machine
in the history of the game. He
said that besides fine pitching
staff of Coombs, Bender and
Plank, an infield of McInnis,
Barry, Collins and Baker and an
outfield of Oldring, Strunk and
Murphy, it also combined hitting
and fielding ability with brains.
Speaker stated that the great
est catch he ever saw was pulled
by Harry Hooper in the world
series Of 1912 between the Boston
Red Sox and New York Giants.
In the ninth inning with two out
and two on, Larry Doyle ham
mered a drive that looked like
homer.
"Hooper was off with the
crack of the bat" said
Speaker, "and as the ball was
going into the stands, Hooper
leaped about four feet into
the air, coming down with
the ball in his glOved hand.
How he caught 1t was .
miracle, but that catch saved
the world series for u.s."
According to Speaker, his great
est fielding gem happened in the
fag end of the 1920 American
league pennant race with Cleve-
land and Chicago fighting it out
down the stretch for the flag.
Cleveland managed to beat the
White Sox across the wire, but
Speaker remembers a catch he
made against Chicago.
Il was toward the end OF :.
the season and we were play
ing the White SOx," recalled
Speaker" We went into the
ninth inning one run ahead
with the SOx at bat, two out
and two ON, and Joe Jackson,
a great natural hitter, at the
plate. He got hold OF one
and / saw the pennant slip
from our grasp with that
smack. turned about and
dug for the wall and Ieaped
about three feet and crashed
into the wall which almost
knocked me SenSeleSS, but
somehow I managed to hold
that ball"
Speaker stated that the great
est thrill he ever experienced was
when his mother came all the
way from Texas to see him lead
la championship team into the
w0rld series with Brooklyn In
1920.
He also classed Walter john
son, Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth as
the three greatest in the game s
history. johnson because he had
the fastest ball of any pitcher:
Cobb because he was the bralnlest
and speediest player as we'll as
the best hitter of all times, ana
Ruth because he was a brilliant
left-handed pitcher who later
turned out to be one OF the
games greatest batters.

returning from an engagement
however, he thought better OF this
move.
If Sad Sam makes a satisfact
tory explanation for yesterdays
outburst this morning he will
likely be restored to good stand
ing. otherwise immediate action
will be taken.
johnson and Jones have long
been fast friends. And it is to
be hoped that they effect an
armistice. They frequently fought
it out on the slab in Johnson's
halcyon days and the Big Train
still maintains that Jones Is one
Of the smartest pitchers he has
ever seen.
There is no questioning john
sons changed managerial atti-
tude. He feels that the modern
day ball player is pampered un-
necessarily and adds that he is
ready to call stop to the pres
ent run of things.
Experience has taught me
you've got to act quick-in
certain cases." he pointed
out while on this subject.
"I want to be as good as I
can to my players. In turn /
expect them to stick by me.
81 feel we've a good ball club
And this is the time to show it.
If I've got to clamp down on
several fellows to get results
you can bet your life I'll do it."
Walter seems most pleased with
the attitude of his younger play
ers, and is banking on them to
get his club away to a fast 1880
start.
"When we all get in step
with those kids" he explained
in passing, everything will
be set. A few Joe CrOnins, q
couple of Lloyd Browns and
a Bob Burke or so will make
managing this ball club a
pleasure. I'm only pulling for

BERKELEY. Calf. July II 1.N.
S).-A behavior clinic, where
criminal traits may be curtailed
in childhood, probably will be
established soon in Berkeley. it
was disclosed recently by Chief
of Police August Vollmer.
The noted crime expert, who
introduced the "lie detector" and
other scientific devices, believes
that founding of such clinics in
various American cities may solve
the growing crime problem.
Vollmer revealed that already
he has launched a move here
along that line. Several experts
in the human behavior field are
making an intensive study of
school children, observing their
criminal tendencies and seeking
to correct them.

A steady increase in demands

Federal Radio Commission to pre-
dict that use of the radio to com.
bat bandit warfare will spread to
every large center in the country.
State police organizations, fol
lowing the lead Of Michigan, also
are expected to enter the field,

Specifications for the installing Of

Having Wide Use
BY providing constant contact
between central police stations
and cruising autos. police agencies
using the radio hope to relay in
formation to the latter so quickly
that many bandit cars can be in
tercepted after bank and other

With police broadcasting con-
sidered solely an experiment for
several months, radio experts now
say the present tendency indicates
the experimental stage is passed
and police radio service has be-
come q permanent fixture.
Although the radio commits
sion has set aside eight channels
for police use, it is now predicted
the service will spread to $50
cities and demands will be made
for additional channels.
