1894 and Lafayette l895-97 he main-
tanned close contact with the game
until his death and was the out
standing historian of the sport.
Davis served on the Rules Com
mittee from 1909-l9l5 and had much
to do with the evolution of the mod
ern game. Among innovations with
which he is credited are the division
OF the game into quarters, number
ing of players, abolition of inter-
locked interference and creation of
the end zones.
He was author of the articles on
foot ball in the Encyclopedia Brit
annica, author of glossary Of foot
ball terms and for years had kept the
records and written a history of the
game for the Foot Ball Guide.

Davis was one of foot balls most
loyal adherents and always took
pride in pointing out the distinguished
men who had played the game or
had contact with it.
He boasted that he was taught
foot ball by one President, Woodrow
Wilson, and had another as con-
sultant coach during his time at Am

Armour in Trim
To Capture Open

TOMMY ARMOUR is very intent
i upon winning the national
open golf championship at
Merton Cricket Club this week.
The silver Scot" is in great phys
ical trim and playing as fine golf
as at any time in his brilliant
career. He proved the quality of
his game recently by shooting a
SO over A. D. Laskers private
course. something no other player
ever has been able to do.
Always great iron player,
Armour is swinging the polished
blades with additional skill this
Spring. The reason, as he ex-
plains it, is that he has turned to
lighter set Of clubs. In fact,
Tom is using Mrs Armours pet
set of irons, so, if he wins at
Merton. she can claim half the
prize money. Many players make
the mistake of using too heavy a
set of clubs-both wood and irons
A lighter club demands a slower
back-swing and is less tiring.
which makes for a better and
more enjoyable game.

The Other Side,

But the ancient duffer, after all,
had something to say. The golfer who
has won more money-who has packed
away more tournaments than any
other star this years. Paul Runyan,
the rather short and slender pro from
White Plains, N. Y.
1t so happens that Paul Runyan
does not specialize in big hitting. He
isn't big hitter. He isn't built that
way.
Paul Runyan specializes more in
deadly iron and spoon play-and then
in big putting-paying practically no
attention to the roar of the siege guns
that rock the landscape with their
thunder.
1t is Paul Runyan's main idea to
tap a tee shot down the middle-not
so very far-to play an iron or a spoon
to within a few feet of the cup-and
then poke in the putt for a birdie or
a par.
He is the only golfer I ever saw"

Coast star, who won the Brit
1sh amateur title 10 days ago, ar
rived at the club yesterday and
played l3 holes in the twilight. They
drove well, Little's tee shots being
consistently about 40 yards in front,
but otherwise they were rusty from
the nine-day lay-off.
After Johnny uttered his rebuttal
to Sarazen and the betting men, Lit
tie shook his head and said:
mo, Johnny, I think you're wrong.
In the first place there are 80 anna
teurs in the field against l20 pro-
fessionals. That makes us four-to-
one shots to begin with. Then we
amateurs don't have the f1nesse in

TINE golfing lads are getting
warm at the Scottish game
these days You could search
4 long time and not find
hotter scoring bee than six
gents put on at the Washington Golf
and Country Club yesterday when
they played the course with a best
ball of 81 strokes. bagging 10 brides
and an eagle between 'em.
The eagle came on the 305-yard
second hole, where Tommy Webb, who
crashes the ball mile from the tee,
drove the green and holed 20-foot
putt for the deuce.
In the game, in addition to Webb,
were Reese R Hair, the club cham
pion; Jimmy Drain, Milton r. West
colt, v. Calvert Dickey and Thurs
ton Furr. All of 'em bagged at least
one bird and four of 'em had birds
on the par fourth, a hole that
really is a long par 4 from the tee
in use at present. They had a best
ball of 90 for the first nine and 80
for the last nine.
Dick Lunn, entirely recovered from
an arm injury he suffered last Fall,
is going to make his first start of
the year in the Beaver Dam tourney
tomorrow.
Dick. who won the District cham
pionship in a play-off with Roger
Peacock last September, entered the
tourney last night. He will start to-
morrow at PAS with Glenn Strong
of Beaver Dam.
Early starters in the medal round
today found the course slowed from
the rain of yesterday. and Ernie Cald-
well, Hillendale ace, hoped for
repetition of the 73 he scored in
practice round. A score like that will
bring to any man the qualifying
medal, for Beaver Dam is one of the
toughest layouts to be found any,
where. Martin F. Mccarthy, the club
champion and a tavorite to win,
scored a IS. Mccarthy was to play
today in the medal round.

minors. but Milt still is going along
right well for the White Sox.
Jimmy Isaminger. who has been
writing base ball since the American
League was born and who now is with
the Athletics. is authority for the ex-
istence of two other brother batteries
in the big show.
He cites the case of the Jonnard
brothers with the Giants and also OF
the Whites with the old Cincinnati
Red Stockings. It was many. many
years ago when the Whites worked to-
gether. Jimmy says the Jonnards set
a world record in the brother battery
business because they topped it all by
happening to be twins Nobody could
tell them apart, he declares. They
worked together with the Giants for
one season and then drifted apart.
New for Ferrells, Too.
SAMINGER also is authority for
i the revelation that Rick Ferrell
caught his brother Yves but once
before they came together in the Red
Sox fold. And that was in an exhi-
b:tion game after the end of a season
in which Yves pitched for the Indians
and Rick caught for the Browns.
Rick explained this to Isaminger
saying: When we were boys We went
to different schools and there was
never a chance for us to play to-
gether Then in the Summer we
played on different clubs. too, so
never handled a pitch thrown by Wes
until that exhibition game"
Yves and Rick we're on the Ameri-
can League all-star team that beat
the National League selects in Chicago
last Summer Rick caught the entire
game, but Yves never left the bench.
So their first major league action
together was in the morning game at
Shibe Park in Philadelphia on Me-
mortal day. Then Yves relieved Fritz
Ostermueller in the eighth inning and
pitched long enough to Brother Rick
to retire one batter.
