By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Following the withdrawal of Frank English, "A medalist of the Waterbury Country Club cham pionship golf competition which began yesterday with the quilify- ing round, members of the first sixteen started out today, with w.

Spirit and Speed
 we've got the best infie1d in baseball, extensively and defensive ly. Every member of it is smack ing the ball-Gehringer, .374; Ow- en, 1884; Greenberg, 1928. and Rogell, 1905.
 ''Our outfield is not the hardest slugging group in the American League, but it surely is the festest. White and Fox are two of the games neatest base-runners.
 Speed has a lot to do with win ming games. That's one thing the experts overlooked when they picked the Yankees to walk in. and the Tigers to tag along in about sixth place. You can't score if you don't move ahead. And we move pretty fast ga rule.
 "We make most of the breaks we get. And we make lots of them by base-running. Base-running is generally regarded as a dead art, but we've made 1t useful one, dead or not. By being fast on the bases. we manage to make infield- CTS and outfielders hurry plays. If you keep them doing that, they're likely to hurry too much, and make errors.
 ny Cobb always tried to hurry them, and make them throw the ball. He knew that if he kept them throwing the ball, somebody would throw it away sooner or later.
 There's nothing mysterious about our methods. They're all very simple. We have just gone along, and tried to use common sense. Until the let-down we had the proper spirit"

Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept 12.-- (UP)--Mercer Beasley, eminent professor of tennis tactics. stretch ed out his legs beneath a table in the West Side club, stirred his long cool drink, and plunged into thought.
 "Yes," he said after while, just when I was beginning to wonder if he intended thinking the rest of the day, ives he will have to do it with brains. He must make it by conquering matter with mind. There is no other way"
 "Who must do what with brains, MT Beasley?" I asked. Whose mind must whip whose matter?" I felt these questions justified. For after all, had merely sat down with the man for a drink and the conversation, or rather the mono. head.
 'I speak of wilmer-WiImer Allison,' said MT Beasley, T trust you were not too busy during the afternoon to learn that he meets Fred Perry for the national title today. We'll. brain power is his only chance of winning. It was his superior mental processes which enabled him to lick Sidney Wood in the semi-finals, and he must re. ly on the same thing to take Perry"
 Do you really mean to tell me, MT Beasley, that head work was all that enabled Wilmer to defeat Sid- ney? It looked from where I sat, which was so close I could hear Allison cuss when he missed one, that his forehand, service, and stout pair of legs and a stouter heart. helped considerably"
 Granted" said Mir Beasley. "All the things you mention were a great help. But they were not the chief weapon. They earned the points, yes. but it was his brain that guided them and made their deadly execution possible. Let me explain. Against Parker on Mon- day, Wood was a magnificent player. He couldn't miss. Why? Because he Is always that magnifi- cent? No! He was great because Parker. in his inexperience, did not have the tennis brains to see that In making shots to the corners he was offering Wood the opportunity to lash back angIed placements. Wood loves angled shots. He loves. a match played at breakneck speed. You must have noticed how. when he was going ereat he kept calling for the ball boys to hurry and hand him the balls He didn't want the rhythm broken'
 Well, I suggested to Allison that he be extremely careful not to fall into Parker's error. That was aii needed do. Not once in the match did Allison give him an angied shot when it wasn't abso. lutely necessary. Ninety-nine of every hundred balls he hit were right down the middle. And he wouldn't hurry. He played leis- urely. thus spelling the terrific tempo that Wood loves. That's how he won. Brains. He couIdn't match shots with Wood so he out thought him."
 Did MT Beasley think brains would win for Allison against Ferry? After all. they had played nve times and the Texan had never

Most of the boys seem to have figured that beating the New York club twice in the one afternoon to start that key series was all they need to do to clinch the pennant. Few of them thought about the remaining six weeks of play. Our lead is slight enough. It doesn't mean thing when a club gets an overconfident as we look to be.
 ''The New York club is not out of it by any means. We got the Yankees down by our long run of consecutive victories, but let them get fresh courage. and Detroit will not look as good as 1t has as a pennant prospect"
 Cochrane declared that the an- swers to miracle men and teams of destiny could be found in the batting, pitching, and fielding av- erages, and base-running figures.
 If you want to konw why we're on top, just look at the averages" he explained. There's no destiny or inspiration about them. They're just hard facts.
 Detroit is the only team in the major leagues hitting 300 or bet ter. We are 10 points over 300.

 Brookline, Mass, September IF - (UP) - A line on what it's ail about should develop at the Coufl- try Club today when GA survivors of two torrid rounds of the Ma. tioHal Amateur Golf championship meet in 1S-hoie duels. Some house before sundown the GA will be but 16 and the survivors will battle on tomorrow to decide four semi- finals.
 The experts who like nothing so much as to determine winners be- fore the first blows are struck, have taken such a terrific beating in past two days that no one Is offering one profound opinion. The hero of today's competition might be, for example, Weeds Beckman of St Pete. a virtual unknown.
 Golfing sentimentalists will be in trested in the <duel between former champions, Chick Evans of Chicago and Chandler Egan of Del Monte, California. This is Chicks Silver anniversary tournament. Egan won the title 30 years ago and repeated the following year.
 Best of, the earlier matches is the meeting of Ross Sommerviile. Canada's unhappy one. who beat Johnny Goodman in the finals two years ago. and Sidney Moves. the stylist from Ardsley. N. r.. another good one will find George Dunisp of New York, the defending cham pion, playing Willie Turnesa. the non-mercenary member of the famous golfing family from Eims- ford, N. Y.
 The first match likely to draw any semblance of gallery involves Bobby Jacobson. 16-year-old boy from Deal. N. J., who plays Jack Ahearn of Hamburg. N. Y.. in the fourth match of the day.
 1t was Bobby who gave the tour- ney it's greatest upset yesterday. He beat Johnny Goodman, up in 1s holes. The other major rever- sal came when Al Andreggan ot Chicago. slightly known player. beat Johnny Fisher. Walker Cup per from Cincinnati. Former champions to have lost out on the second day were Jesse Guilford or Boston and Davidson Heron or Oakmont, Pa. W. F. Marks also or Oakmont. beat Guilford. 1 up. and Frank English of Denver peat Heron, 3 and 2.
