The Next Show.

IN q year of surprising results all
along the line, the arrival Of the
New York Giants in first place by
a decisive margin is one of the main
features of the fast-moving show.
Washington's Senators were picked
far and wide to finish no worse than
second-back of the yankees, who
were supposed to be on their way to
another romp.
But the Giants were picked
BY 80 Per cent of the proph-
cts to stagger in around
fifth, sixth or seventh place.
They were given only a light
blue chance Of finishing in
the first division, back Of
Pirates, Cubs and Cardinals.
But here they are after one Of the
most consistent marches base ball has
known. Moving along, with brilliant
pitching-the best that base ball has
known this season-they presented q
hustling, compact group under Bill
Terry's able management.
Their lone break came after Ryan,
the young shortstop, had to move into
the hospital for week. At this point
the Giants lost six or seven games IN
a row, and many Of these defeats
trickled through the open gap at short.
With his lineup intact once
more, Bill Terry proceeded to
lead his men into thinning
margin without i:asting precious
time.
One answer is that you can't break
down the march of team that gets
such pitching as Hubbell, Schumacher,
FitZsimmons and Parmelee have Of
fered. They won flock Of close

Golf Book Fails to Unravel
Problem Over Practice Ball

VEN among the better golfers ig-

prevalent, but II common sense
and craftsmanship are used as yard
rules covering play in hazards is spe-
cific. II your ball lies against stone
or a stick you cannot remove the OBJ
struction. But there Is no rule covering
practice shots to a green in match play.
Even the pros sometimes are at a loss
to interpret the rules, as witness the
incident at Beaver Dam last Monday
where Al Houghton's ball struck the
Flagstaff on the fourth green, when he
was outside the 20-yard limit. Some Of
them claim that when the caddie went
to the pin. Houghton waived his right
to hit the staff without penalty.
Others declare no penalty was incurred.

enough to pick pear out Of
hazard will 60 down In golf history as
another "bonehead play" Of the Merkle
variety dt may have cost Sid the anna
teur championship, another funny
quirk on the inadequacy Of the rules Of
golf came out Of the Anacostia open
tourney last week.
w. w. Seay, playing against Tom
Doerer, jr., the medalist, hit practice
ball to one of the green's. after playing
his regular shot, and although he made
no further shots with the practice ball.
an attempt was made to call the hole
on him. Fred Mcleod and Al Hough-
ton, two golf professionals who know
the rule book backward and forward,
were appealed to for q decision. but
neither could find a rule that provided
penalty for such an action.
THE fact that Seay won the match
by a single hole may have had
4 something to do with the fuss
that was raised about the incident, but
there isn't any doubt in the mind OF
thinking golfer that that sort Of thing
isn't done in tournament. Doubtless
Seay was guiltless Of any attempt at
wrong doing, but equally doubtless there
is no rule in the book covering such an
occurrence.
So far as the rules of golf are con-
cerned, in match play competitor may
play a practice shot to every green If
he so wishes. It's just another example
Of the failure Of the rules to cover all
situations, although the U. S. G. A. has
tried-and tried hard-to make them
adequate. In the final analysis golf is
an honorable game, played under COM
mon sense rules among gentlemen.
Seay should have known that he vio-
lated at least the ethics Of match play
by his practice shot. But then SO
should Sid Noyes have known that he
cannot touch anything in q hazard.
