Hurl Well Against Old Mates;
HAYES and M'Lean Join Club

Hayes from the Chattanooga club and
Elden Mclean from Harrisburg Of the
New York-Pennsylvania League be-
came full-fedged Nationals.
Hayes, who arrived Unexpectedly at
noon, was to get his first test under
big league fire today in the twin bill
against the Browns. Buck Newsom,
who worked Sunday, Wednesday and
Thursday, was to hurl the curtain
raiser. Newsom did not get into the
game yesterday and fears staleness.
Hayes then is due to receive his
baptism in the nightcap.
Mclean Is Find" Of Cambria.
MCLEAN is another Of Joe Cambria's

Louisville of the American Association
and was promising in 1888 Last
year, however, he had some difficulties
with the club and was made q free
agent -. so Cambria signed him, was
impressed with a couple Of perform

him to Griff he appears to have

HolbroOk Fined
For Not Sliding

GAM HOLBRoOK, the happy
bridegroom of the Griffs, lost
a little Of that smile today when he
reported at the ball park and
learned that President Clark Grif-
fifth had plastered on him a fine
for failure to slide.
Declaring that the rookie catcher
had failed to keep his head up,
Griffith announced that Holbrook
would be socked only $25 this time
and, if there is "a next time for the
same boner," the price will be
sleeper.
Holbrook walked to open the fifth
inning yesterday with the score tied
at IL. Bluege sacrificed and
pitcher Crowder of the Tigers
elected to try for Holbrook at Sec
ond. Sam would have made the
base with ease, but he neglected to
slide and overran the base to be
tagged out. He could have scored
on the next two infield out and
possibly averted yesterdays defeat.

Perry-Vines Match Would Over-Shddow
Davis Cup Series and Feud Of Helens
BY JOHN LARDNER.

lences. But, when the ball flies past
him at a mile minute there is moth
ing he can do except watch 1t. And
even that Is q pretty good trick. I
remember the semi-f1nal he played
with Vines at Forest Hills in 1881.
Perry had . lot Of great
strokes then. But he might as
well have left them home in the
trunk for all the good they did.
The critics, when they pick Perry
to beat Vines, are thinking Of what
Freddie did to our boy on q couple
Of other occasions. The truth Is that
he didn't do anything. Vines simply
smacked the ball outside the white
lines with great speed and con-
sistency. And, when they added up
his errors, they found that he had
lost the ball game.
Vines always beats himself when
he loses. There Is no case on record
of his being out-thought or out
maneuvered. Maneuvers don't enter
into Vines match. If he has his
control he wins, and vice versa. I
think he can beat Perry now be-
cause his control, since he turned
commercial, has improved about so
per cent. That's all the edge he needs.
Explains Vines improvement.
IT'S been said that Vines chief
trouble Is the fatness of his drives,
which leave him almost no margin Of
error on the lines and over the net.
I asked large William Tilden about
this q short time ago. How come
Ellsworth's control has improved SO
much? Is he putting English on the
ball or Is he getting into position
faster, or what?
"Well," replied the professor, "al-
most every tennis player puts q Ger
tain amount of spin on his drives, no
matter how fatty he seems to be hit
ting them. Vines Is no exception.
He hits flatter ball than most, but
IT wouldn't land inside so often II it
was just q straight smash.
"The main thing about Vines since
he turned professional, though, is
that he plays all the time without
being under any sort Of pressure.
THAT'S an unbeatable combi.
nation-steady practice against
the best players in the world,
with no danger Of staleness or
worry"
Not long ago Iilden was Of the
opinion that Vines would beat Perry
when and If they met. Now I see by
the foreign dispatches that he be-
heves Perry is the greatest player in
the world-or says he believes it.
There Is only one way of settling the
matter, of course, and the British
promoters are planning to let the pub
lie see 1t settled, at great expense,
on the courts Of Wimbledon.
It will draw terrific gate. It will
clear the way for o return match and
another gate In this country. Best
of all, it will be step in the direc-
ton Of open, pro-amateur tennis,
which is the only sensible sort Of
tennis they can play now.

TIGERS SNARL|NG
AS IN FLAG YEAR
Seem Certain to Make 1t
TWo-CIub Race if They
Don't Win Pennant.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
IUST about a year ago the Detroit
Tigers, who had begun to mani
fest their power to come from
behind with q "never-give-up"
spirit and pull apparently lost games
out of the fire, forged into the Amer
ican League lead and went on to win
the 1884 pennant.
The 1885 edition of the Tigers, while
still q game and half behind the
Yankees, against have caught Mickey
Cochrane's idea. and II they aren't
headed for another title. they seem
sure to make 1t two-club race, with
the other prospective contenders look
ing on from behind.
The Tigers didn't have to come from
behind often during their recent 10
game winning streak, which carried
them up for fourth place, but fire.
quently they did their big scoring In
the late innings.
Yankees Win, Too.

Senators yesterday failed to reduce the
Yankees lead, as the New Workers

Lou Gehrig gave the Yanks the lead
and they held it while Red Ruffing
and Monte Pearson pitched on almost

The Boston Red Sox again failed to
grasp an opportunity to climb past
the Indians into the first division when
four fingers, starting with Joe Cas-
carella, failed to check the Chicago
batters and the Pale Hose won cut,

TITLE BILL JOHNSTON says
we have q good chance to win
back the Davis Cup, and it will

- be swell If we do, but the Davis
Cup, the Moody-Jacohs match, and
all the other highlights Of the tennis
season will dim into insigni1cance If
British promoters go through with
their plan to stage a special contest
between Fred Perry and Ellsworth
Vines.
That will be the worlds greatest
tennis match, because the two boys In
question are the worlds greatest ten
mis- players. I don't think there's any
doubt of that. I've heard it argued
that Nusslein, for one, is Vines equal,
but the argument has no Juice.
Once in q while Nusslein win
beat Vines-but when the cal
low Californian turns on the
heat, there is no professional
who can touch him.
The question is, can Perry touch
him? The public and most Of the
experts seem to think he can. Fear
less Freddie Is on the crest OF the
wave now, hailed everywhere as the
greatest player alive and seldom If
ever denying it. When he smothered
Jack Crawford and pulverized the
Herr Baron Won Cramm in the recent
social outing at Wimbledon, he looked
50 good that the experts got together
and voted him perfect on all tickets,
including the conservative.

Though, of course, when the machine
gets nudged by locomotive at q

The Main Trouble.

THE average golfer faces shot. He
sees beyond him bunkers and
traps-ponds and rough-trouble wait
ing along the line.
His directing mind Is on this trouble.
As he addresses the ball his frightened
grip locks hands and wrists-and this
tension spreads to legs and body.
His hands and wrists are locked up,
30 he has to call on shoulders and
body to help out the swing. He hasn't
any chance In the world to develop
club-head speed at the moment Of i'm
pact. Most Of this club-head speed

(sV Y YE ALL get so many tips
\h/ on golf" writes F. H
w D., "and we have SC
70 fhi,,t

w D., "and we have SC
many things to think
about, and we get tied up in sc
many knots, that 1t is no wonder
SO few Of us three or four million
ever improve. The games of most
Of us are just about where they
were five years ago. Isn't there some
one working tip you can give us that
will be at least in the nature of q
start along the right lines?"
F. H. DIS not echoes the wall OF
many millions. So much has beer
written and taught about feet, hips
shoulders, wrists, body, pivoting and
whatnot that only confused picture
can emerge for the average golfer
who didn't start as a caddie, or who
hasn't unlimited time to practice and
oevelop better game.
What should the one tip be that
might help relieve this nationa
trouble?
In my opinion. one of the main
faults starts on the mental side.
Ninety-nin golfers out of
hundred think only in terms Of
results-not of causes that pro-
duce results.
They think ahead of the ball
ahead of the swing. They think only
in terms of the hitting area Of the
downswing.
This applies, even in open cham
pionships, to many leading pros when
the pressure is on.
This controlling thought leads to
tightening up-to steering the ball
to hitting too quickly-to any number
Of wrecking details that break up a
game. Muscle action responds to
mind direction.
If the mind is on the downswing,
then the backswing is going haywire.
Beyond the Ball.
THE first angle that the average
golfer should look for is correct
finger grip on the club-and a feel
ing of what his hands are doing in
swinging the club head-and this In
cludes both hands.
He should have picture of the shot
to be played-a drive-a mashie-or q
chip.
After that he should shut out any
picture beyond the ball-and begin his
concentration on the backswing-not
the downswing.
As Walter ]. Travis once said, 'The
ball has to stop somewhere" Hit 1t
correctly and it will stop in the right
spot.
Once one has eliminated all
thought beyond the ball. it Is
far easier to swing as one does
In practice, where . dandelion
or . cigar stump Is the target
It is far easier to relax-it is far
easier to keep the head in place.
We started contest once along the
line of helpful tips. The winning ad-
vice was this, "Just imagine the golf
ball has no mass" That is the same
idea.
Irecall q story that Bernard Darwin
wrote years ago. He was 4 down at
the fifth hole in q championship
match. "Then," he wrote, Il said to
myself, If I can't play like good
golfer, I will at least swing like one.
I'll let results take care Of them
selves" Finally he won.
I once heard the veteran Nipper
Campbell give q fine golf lesson. 1t
was to this effect, Just stand here
half an hour hitting the ball and hit
with your practice swing" This also
carried the same idea-thinking In
terms of correct swinging and not In
terms of results.

THEY say base ball lacks sentiment.
It doesn't; at least it doesn't lack
q certain kind Of sentiment.
Take the cases Of Washington's
cast-offs, for instance. Consider AL
Crowder, Walter Stewart, Joe Cronin,
Luke Sewell, Jack Hayes, Sammy West
and Goose Goslin.
Crowder, cut loose from the Nation
ais last year, Is well down In the

of yesterdays 2-to-1 victory over the
Griffs, has beaten his former club in
each of his three starts this season
Two of his performances have been
five-hit affairs.
What Fat Figures, Boys.
GOOSE GOSLIN'S batting average
~ today is in the 290s, but against
the Nationals this season he has bat
ted at a .435 clip.
Joe Cronin is batting .269 for the
Red Sox, but in the IL Boston Wash
ington tilts to date he has averaged
.306. scored eight runs and batted
across ten tallies.
Luke Sewell is .289 hitter in the
season averages, but against the Ma
tionals he has banged the ball at q
.424 clip.
Sammy West is sticking for .305
against all clubs, but in competition
against his old mates his mark Is 45O
An even 800 is Jack Hayes sea-
son average; against Uncle Clark's
club it is 1854.
