Gate In National
Close to Normal
Cold Weather and Postpone
ments Cut Into American
League Attendance

New York, April 2o-tP)-A revival
Of interest at Cincinnati and the great
drawing power OF the revamped
Brooklyn Dodgers have contrived to
keep National League attendance
close to normal this season despite
frigid weather. but the American
League has suffered losses.
The National has averaged about
1850 spectators per game this sea-
son compared with 13,40O over an ap-
proximately similar period last year.
The corresponding average in 1890
was 1880.
The American League has averaged
only 9,540 fans per game compared
with about 10000 last year and 1880
in 1890.
Two factors contributed heavily in
this situation. The weather this year
has been extremely cold, forcing many
postponements and cutting heavily
into attendance.
Then the averages for this year
were reckoned before two of the big
gest money-making clubs In baseball
the New York Yankees and Chicago
Cubs-had played single home game.
Cincinnati leads the National
League so far with about 130, 900 spec
tators at seven games Washington
has drawn $4,000 in two home games,
the best American League average.

Willis HudIin Hurls Cleveland to

(By The Associated Press

After two lean years, in which he
experimental right and left and prac-
tically rebuilt from the ground up,
Manager Bucky Harris appears at
last to have a pretty slick combina-
ton at Detroit.
Tied with Washington for the lead
ership of the American League after
winning five of their first seven starts
at home, the Tigers easily qualify as
the sensations of the early going. It
is doubtful if even Harris expects
them to stay at the top but, even SO,
the former hoy manager" can report
progress.
So far the Tigers have enjoyed the
finest pitching in either league from
Earl Whitehill, Vic Sorrell, George
Uhle and Whitlow Wyatt, and their
hitting has been both hard and time
~. Tuesday the Tigers made 1t three
out of four from the Browns, 8 to O..
Whitehill, turning in his second VIC

o3!!I7!f;7 7 e; !. G.: I:

Stance in golf is the position of
the players feet in relation to the in
tended line Of flight Of the ball.
There are three standard styles, all
of which are used by championship
players.
The square stance practically de-
scribes itself. In it the feet, hips
and shoulders are parallel to the line
of flight. From this stance it Is
easier to hit straight ball. There
Is less chance Of cutting across the
ball, creating slice. Body twist
comes easier in the square stance,
and more power with less effort can
be put into the swing. The square
stance is the best for stout and elder
ly PLAYERS.

Still The Magnet
A year and half away from the
competitive fields has not diminished
the brilliance Of the Jones brand of
golf nor its lure to the royal and
ancient fanatic.
The biggest turnouts on the Pine
hurst links were the crowds that
chased Jones in q friendly round or
two prior to the North and South
open. He seems to have lost none
of his drawing power in the interval
nor the Shotmaking skill that devel-
|oped 1t over long period Of years.
The "gates" for the big golf cham
ipionships this year will suffer more
from the absence Of Jones than they
did in 1881, when the falling off was
around so per cent.
Not even reduction in the price
!of admission will attract the average
golf bug" through the turnstiles to
see the average run Of topranking
talent. When he pays hts money he
wants to see the nearest thing to per-
lection that the game offers. With
Jones missing, 1t isn't there and
neither, for the most part, Is old Joe
Spectator.

Nv ALAN GOULD

Bob Jones' first inquiry, when en-
countered him this spring at Pine
hurst, was:
"Where can I get a first baseman?"
At the time it was no joking mat
ter. The great golfer has taken over
executive responsibilities in connec-
ton with the Atlanta ball club and
he had been searching high and low
for a first sacker-on the proper
terms.
Either they haven't got anything
we can use or they want too much for
what they have" said Bob in refer
ence to the situation he found among
other club officials.

Count Jones Out

Count Jones Out
Jones has no intention whatever Of
returning to competition this year.
have heard gossip from time to
time that the Georgian might recon-
slider his retirement to the extent Of
re-entering the open championship,
but he will not be among those who
tee off this year at the Fresh Meadow
club, Flushing, Long Island. in the
chase for Billie Burke's crown.
Jones has enough business and
pleasure to occupy his time and in
terests. For the present, at least, his
retirement appears quite as perma-
nent as that of Gene Tunney.
Perhaps the most far-fetched Of all
the Jones rumors since he quit COM
petition after his 1880 grand slam"
to engage in motion picture work was
the story that Bob would seek REIN
statement as an amateur.
It was so far-fetched that even
Bob got hearty laugh out Of it.
He still Is an amateur, in the sense
that he is not a professional golfer
or pursuing his livelihood solely from
connection with the sports business
angles. OF course he could no longer
compete in the amateur champion
ship, having made the decision to
cash in" through the movies and
other connections, but that does not
make Bob Jones any less the amateur
sportsman than he Is and always has
been.
