@NLY two newcomers to big league

George Tuck" Stainback, 21-year-old
outflelder who was purchased from
the Los Angeles club year ago for
the resplendent figure of $4,000, and
Augie Galan, likewise recently added
to the list of registered voters, who
dug grounders out of various and SUM-
dry Coast League inflelds as men,
Der Of the San Francisco club.
Offhand you'd say that a couple Of

OF breaking into an outfield which
already had four Of the best fly
beagles in the business or switching
an infield job away from the sensa-
tional Billy Herman. Don't be Off
hand about Messrs. Stainback and
Galan.
Before the good-looking young blond
outfield candidate injured his ankle
in training, Manager Grimm already
had announced plans to use him on
opening day with Kiki Cuyler and
Chuck Klein, choosing him over Babe

Gives Recruit a Chance.

XIOUNG Mr.. Galan. pronounced
just as 1t reads but with the
accent on the tail end. got his
chance in Spring training largely cue
to the fact that Billy Herman is
quake-shy and didn't report at Cata-
lima. Galan was brought up on Quakes
and likes 'em before and after meals.
He also relishes hardhit ground balls
and, switching to port or starboard
stance at the plate as occasion de-
manded, managed to compile the
nifty average of 1856 at bat in 1888.
while fielding 948 with a club that
didn't have any too flossy pitching.
With a useful individual like Gabby
Leo Hartnett occupying lot of space
and making himself obnoxious to op-
posing teams, there isn't much call
for new catchers on the Cubs. Grimm,
however, is trying out a couple of
kid catchers, Walter Goebel and Bill
Seebold, respectively, of Little Rock,
Ark, and Kansas City. One will
probably be handed over to the Los
Angeles club for seasoning and the
other will probably get ticket home.

MAKING leaf from the book OF
the other golf professionals in
this area. Roland Mackenzie,
i new Congressional pro. is
planning a series of free in
struction classes this year for the
fair golfers of Congressional. He also
is planning to sell the idea of golf
to Young America as personifled by
the younger feminine members of the
club
Roland has mapped out a schedule
of instruction periods during which
he will give free golf lessons to the
woman golfers of the club from the
tiniest sub-debutante up to the sea-
soned tournament player. A similar
scheme has been in operation at
many of the clubs around Washington.
Al Houghton of Kenwood, one of
the originators of the free instruc-
ton scheme for the fair sex, is going
further with his plans for improv-
ing women's golf at his club. Al told
the woman golfers of the club who
gathered at meeting of the Golf
Committee yesterday that he will play
with members of the first and sec
ond teams Of Kenwood this year
and will give both teams instruction
classes by means of free playing les
sons.
Mrs. Roy c. Miller will head the
womans committee at Kenwood this
year, with Mrs. John c. Shorey as
vice chairman and Mrs. A. A. Nc
Entee as secretary-treasurer. Mrs G.

coupled with the fact that his star

to watch the world series from the

Match Play Plan Praised.

4 LONG step toward bigger and
~ better District golf champion
ships has been taken by the
District Golf Association with the
change in method OF play for the
local simon-pure title from medal to
match play. For several reasons the
last District title tourney was more
or less joke because of the small
size of the entry list and the fact
that several potential winners did not
play, although there is no doubt that
Dick Lunn richly deserved to win
and probably would have won in any
event But any championship that
has only II entries is not much Of
tournament. That is what the Dis
trict title event had last year. This
year, with the event going to Colum-
bia, a drop in the entry fee from 50
to 50 and the match play method Of
settling the matter in vogue once
more. there should be a decided re-
vival in interest in the chase for the
local links crown.
Again it probably will result in a
three-way duel between Dick Lunn.
Roger Peacock and Harry Pitt. but
there are far more apt to be sur
prises in match play than in medal
play and the man-to-man game vastly
increases general interest in the pur-
suit of title or tournament.
The District Association has made
a good move in taking cognizance of
the general feeling in the matter and
returning to match play.
