this year, may be a big shot in medal
play, but he has just taken licking
at the hands of an 18-handicap golfer
from his own club, and today he plans
to lead with his chin in another match
in which he probably is going to absorb

The gent who whipped the Maryland

Hutchinson the usual liberal handicap,
the professional won. Hutchinson
slipped him the customary five spot,
with the remark that he thought he
could beat HCughton if he (Hutchin-

The match was arranged and they
stepped out on the first tee. AL made
only one condition, which was that he
shouldn't be made to drive with nib

by calling the spade mashie from the
first tee AL hit good one down the
middle. and then Hutchinson asked him
to play his second shot with putter.
AL poled out long one so yards short
of the green. about the same distance
Hutchinson had attained in three wood

Then Al had to play his approach
shot with driver, and he put it in the
bunker by the green. His fourth shot

green and he three-putted with the
driver for 7. Hutchinson won the

Then in the fifth inning of the
final game Fred Schultz and Joe
Kuhel singled. Ossie Bluege got two
strikes and then bunted foul to
strike out under the rules. Had
Bluege made his sacrifice, Schultz
would have had no trouble scoring

Runs Into Big Money.

IF SOME club should offer huge
sum for the release of Ruth to act
as its manager. it might prove a
temptation to Col. Rupert. Especially
WOULD this be true if some club in the
second division made the offer. Ruth
has had no experience in the man
aEerial line and his debut in that
capacity would be watched with curl
osity. If he should take team from
fifth or sixth place up to second or
third in the race, he would be gen.
orally accepted as a bowling success.
But to do this club that is fifth
or sixth must surround a new manager
with some good players. This would
require considerable outlay, and. in
view Of the high price that would have
to be paid to obtain Ruth's services,
would make it well-night impossible for
any club to land him. An expenditure
Of at least 100000 would be involved.
At the lowest estimate it would take
250.000 paid admissions above the
average to balance this venture, and if
anybody can show where there could
be a normal attendance plus 250000
extra admissions in a second-division
city, most people would regard it as
Q marvel of economic thinking.

advertisement of no small proportions

the shaft should be held not in the

lows better wrist action, which adds
yards to the shot. It also allows
more relaxed muscles, and although
the grip should be firm enough SO
that the clubhead will not turn In
the hands, tendency to tightness
should be avoided.
With a clenched grip the back
swing is unconsciously quickened,
which in turn is very apt to take the
