by the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, March 6.-For-
M fixture of the franchise
l Y and its operation by the
International League in
some other city today seemed to
be the most likely solution of the
Jersey City tangle, bug-a-boo of
the circuit for many months.
The leagues directors failed to arrive
at any definite solution for the prob
lem at an all-day session Saturday,
but they did order Sam Colacurcio,
owner of the club. to show cause why
the franchise should not be forfeited
and at the same time announced they
were going ahead Immediately with an
investigation into q proper training site
and were preparing to negotiate for
players.
The league further announced that
in the event the franchise was declared
forfeited, it would not be operated in
Jersey City. Providence, r. l., has been
prominently mentioned as . possible
site.
President Charles H. Knapp, George
Weiss of Newark and Warren Giles Of
Rochester, forming special committee
of three to handle the Jersey City mat
ter. were to hold further discussions
during the next few days and possibly
reach a definite solution by the end Of
the week.
Negotiations for the purchase Of the
club by Walter johnson and his asso-
ciates apparently have fallen through.
johnson conferred with the special COM
mittee for many hours on Saturday. but
no deal satisfactory to all those involved
could be arranged
1t was understood that. in view of the
banking situation, johnson and his as
sociates were chary about putting cash
"on the line" especially with Jersey
City's various debts yet to be cleared up.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The Pitts

tie for the Eastern intercollegiate
Conference title this week, provided
they defeat West Virginia's Mountain

On the same evening, birthplace Car

BIZ TOM DOERER.

~ nOXI, Miss, March 6.-The
X lobby Of the Hotel Biloxi,
social center of the Wash
ington Base Ball team,
Bwarmed with players last night
as a shipment of malnStayS ar
rived by train and automobile.
The arrivals included Goose Cos
lin, Fred Schultz, Joe Kuhel,
Buddy Myer, Ossie Bluege and
young Bob Boken.
Every man who will be part OF the
1888 Nationals now is in camp, except
ing two fence smearers. Heinie Ma
nush and Dave Harris, who are destined
to come in sometime today.
The arrival of the latest batch of
athletes had a sentimental dash here
and there. Clark Griffith, again suffer-
ing with lumbago as a result OF SO holes
of golf the day before, sat up in bed
with the suggestion of a film in his eyes
when Goslin came In to see him.
Whats the matter, Pope" asked
Goose with some anxiety.
Nothing now, Goose, the sight of
you Is tonic.'
TOE CRONIN took time out after a
round of atrocious golf to make up
the batting order Of the Nationals
to be adhered to during the next busy
week of practice and, If satisfactory,
to continue throughout the season. 1t
runs like this:
Buddy Myer, Ossie Bluege Heinie
Manush, Goose GoSl1n, Joe Cronin, Fred
Schultz. Joe Kuhel catcher and
pitcher.
Cronin believes that Bluege's often
sive worth to the team will be enhanced
by promoting him five steps up the bat
ting ladder from where he has been
won't to hit and pop out. OF sud-
den, Cronin has discovered latent bunt-
ing and base-running talents in the
veteran third baseman.
After a great deal of elaboration.
Cronin placed Goslin in the cleanup
position instead Of himself. since Cos
lin always has batted either there or
third. Third place was made Heinie
Manush's, by dint of his hitting
ability and hit-and-run genius.
THIS will be a fatal week for the
L raft Of young pitchers in camp,
many Of whom are facing big
league batters for the first time in their
careers. Batting practice will be stressed
and every pitcher from Crowder, the
old-timer, to Lefty Burrows, the
Phoenix flash, will have, to serve em
up to the lambasting infielders and out
fielders.
The young pitchers, especially, are on
the spot. If they are hit all over the
lot, the powers-that-be naturally will
decide that they are not so hot. If
they work" on the regulars and put
EN- where they're difficult to hit, long,
loud squawk will come from the batters
to take that Elmer the great out of
the box and put in somebody who can
throw 'em over"
It's q vicious circle, gents.

II wildered golfer one from the
n great army Of the average,
seeks some advice at the thres-
hold of new season.
For some time" he writes, "the
thought has struck me that my golf
game is about the same now that it
was 8 or 10 years ago. am no
better and no worse, with all the golf
have played, there should have been
some improvement, at least. I have
noticed this same condition in regard
to most of my golfng friends. Why
Is this? Is there nothing we can do
to lower our score. at least to find some
Improvement"
There Is simple answer to the first
puzzle. Most golfers fall into certain
fixed faults, which In time turn into
fixed habits.
These faults may seem to vary at
certain times with wood, iron or putter,
but in the main they remain constant.
Since a certain cause produces a certain
result, the results will be about the
same ss long as the causes remain I'M
changed. There isn't any doubt that
the average golfer lets his game run
along the same average. year after
year.
This Is because he uses the same
swing or the same methods year after
year. Even II he tries out some new
idea. which seems to work for a short
while. the chances are he will soon
return to the same old ways.
About the Cures.
A NsWERING the next question
IA some cure to work on-is not
quite 50 simple And yet it is far
from being q hopeless matter, as many
thousands from the ranks of the aver
age have shown.
In the first place, 1t might be well
to consider the most common faults that
lead to lack Of improvement and so
many dismal trips to sand and rough,
to thicket and woods and water.
What are these faults or habits?
1. Too much stiffness or tension in
addressing the balm taking q stance.
There is q lack Of ease and comfort.
The feet are too firmly planted-the
grip is too tight-the legs are about as
pliable as hydrants.
The first thing to consider Is to stand
trifle straighter with q more relaxed
feeling in taking your stance. And
don't take this for granted. At least it
helps one to look more like a real golfer,
in addition to leading to better results
along all lines.
2. The average golfer takes the club
up with the right hand, using little or
no body turn. He either lifts the club
head or rushes 1t back, and this leads
to hitting with the right hand and
right side The main result Is bringing
the club head down outside Of the line
Of fiight-which always Is disastrous.
The cure here is to build up the left
hand, wrist and arm-to make . habit
of starting the swing with the left hand
and firm left arm, fairly straight, let
ting the left side turn naturally. If
the back swing is started with the left
hand and arm in control, 1t Is . much
simpler matter for the left side to turn
In q natural, normal way.
3. Hitting too quickly-rushing the
down swing-not completing the back
swing.
It is Tommy Armour's opinion that
this Is one of the most common and
most harmful of all golfng faults.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1933-03-06
THE SPORTLICHT

The deep yearning to wallop the ball
overpowers every other line of thought.
1t is surprising how many golfers start
their down swing before the back swing
is completed. They can't wait to finish
one before the other is at work.
One way to help cure this fault is to
think more in terms of correct swing
ing rather than in terms of results-of
where the ball will land. 1t is just as
well to remember that the ball has to
stop somewhere. Forget that part of
it. Keep q mental pattern of what
you are trying to do rather than a
mental pattern Of bunkers and ponds
and out Of bounds to be faced.
Other Suggestions.
This fault of hitting too quickly is
largely right handed, right-sided
fault, and 1t is common to most games
to base ball, tennis, polo, etc.
1t Is usually the result Of overtension,
overeagerness.
The first correction must start from
the mental side, where one should think
in terms OF smoothness and ease rather
than In terms of power.
Don't be in any great hurry to hit
from the top. Let the left hand and
arm play their part in getting the down
swing under way.
4. What about head lifting?
This fault usually goes back to the
same old enemy-hurry, tension,
tightness.
If you can make a habit of thinking
only OF swinging at the ball, rather
than thinking of trouble ahead, 1t will
help.
In too MANY cases the golfer is think
ing ahead of his swing. If your mind
is on some bunker or trap ahead or
upon some other hazard in the way
it Is almost impossible to keep the head
still Subconscious action will lift ii
to see the result in advance.
Think with or back of the swing
not beyond 1t. A series of exercises,
which will let the arms and body work
independently of the head, will be
helpful.
S. Grip and stance.
Make a closer study of your grip and
the correct method of standing to the
bali. The chances are your left hand
is too much around the club shaft
not over it sufficiently, where power
must be developed. Grip more firmly
with the left hand than with the right
Keep the left foot slightly advanced
in address-more along closed lines
Here are just few suggestions. which
II given a fair chance, will be sure to
produce helpful results. But none of
them can be taken for granted at any
time. If they are, the player will al
most certainly revert to his old meth
DDS In short order.
