TEST OF CHAMPION

3-Foot Circle.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

w TE'vE heard OF the hardest
M shot in golf, the most i'm
v v portant shot, the finest
shot, and so on, and now
comes the most skillful shot in the
game, the one shot that demands the
utmost in ability to place the ball at
or near the objective. What is it?
In the opinion of Freddie Mcleod,
the little wizard of the bunkers and
master of the short game at Columbia,
the most skillful shot in the game, the
one which in his opinion is the one
shot that separates the master golfer
from the herd of less Skillful perform
ers, is the lengthy approach putt.
When all is said and done, Freddie
says, long and straight drivers are a
dime a dozen; men who can play the
irons with rare skill exist by the
scores, and even men with we'll
rounded game who can drive, and play
the irons like champions are around
every golf course. But, he adds, In
the opinion of the men who know the
game from A to lizard, the ultimate
test of all is the lengthy approach

a great deal depends on whether

The Yanks were we'll in the

club needs another name here

him, can be considerably more
than that. He can be and, under
mellow conditions, is downright

They say he is to be sold for
what he can bring, probably $780,
600 and upward, to either the BoS-
ton Red Sox or the New York
Yankees, with the former believed
most interested because of Foxx's
close personal friendship with Ed
die Collins. The quality of Foxx's
close personal friendship with Con-
ME Mack at this time can best be
revealed by the statement that the
young man hit only one home run
in IS games, previous to yester-
days second game in which he hit
two. Further, his average during
the recent Western trip was
around $50.
Got Only $4,000
Moreover, this beautiful friend
ship has not been noticeably
strengthened by the fact that last
year Foxx was supposed to get
$4,000 but. 1 understand, took
$4,000. This year, they tell me,
he was supposed to get $4,000
but took $4,000. Next year-but
why go on? Probably the idea
hasn't been fully perfected yet but
all they have to do is wait long
enough to get Foxx down to 5000.
After that they'll let him owe them
the difference.
On the ball clubs side, it is
pointed out that Foxx hit a re-
sounding homer and single in the
all-Star game, producing three of
his leagues four runs. But, signifi-
cantly, they add that that was for
Foxx. For the club, it seems, he
hasn't been able to do quite
enough owing to the fact that he
cannot somehow rouse himself
from a profound reverie, although
I understand his contract contains
a bonus clause.
Although, it looks like a clear
case of incompatibility for which
the only answer is legal separa-
ton, although I cringe from men
tioning Boston in connection with
this. The last time I did so, I re-
ceived an embittered telegram
from owner Tom Yawkey, Gliding
me no end. All I did was suggest
that he was interested in Foxx
but, judging by the tone of his
message, the accusation was SIM
ply more than he could bear.
Yawkey Will Pay
Anyhow, Mr.. Yawkey has what
Mr.. Mack wants, which is money.
Mr.. Mack also wants pitchers, but
will compromise on more money.
Mr.. Yawkey only has two or three
pitchers of his own and the other
is not especially interested anyhow.
He's had Grove and Walberg be-

Rinaldi Coalmen, 10 to 2.
Sunday they encounter their
ancient rival, Miller Furniture, on
the South Ellipse at 3 o'clock.
The Millers should give the
Pigs the battle of their lives, as
the furniture boys are their best
in fast company. Further, the
Millers have also added new
faces in Russell Boyce, a hard
hitting infielder and John Nc
Guire, a top-notch second sacker.
Boyce is a youngster of eonsid-
cradle promise, having played in
the Junior division the first half,
while Mcclure used to carry the
old Aztecs' colors.
AlI-High Hurler
Sullivan has been the all-high
pitching choice for the past three
years. The past season he twirled
Eastern High School to the inter
high championship. Joe is a
southpaw with loads of stuff and
a fine fast ball with a neat hop.
He complied quite a strike-out rec
ord during his three-year stay at
the Lincoln Park School. Sulli-
van is also capable hitter, being
extremely dangerous with men on
the sacks.
Keegin is another former East
ern boy. He was all-high catcher
the last year he performed with
the Guyon-coached machine. He
plays the outfield for the Pigs be-
cause they have one of the finest
sandlot catchers around this Sec
tion in Cliff Keyser.
De Lisio used to hold down the
initial sack for Central High. He
is a timely hitter and a first-rate
fielder.
Plenty Of Action
A game that should offer
plenty of action will be when
Nationwide clashes with Wash
ington Flour on the South Ellipse
at / o'clock in the junior division.
These aggregations are tied with
Simpsons Pharmacy and AuthS
for first place. with four victories
and one setback.
The Storemen boast several
champion Eastern High players on
their roster. They are Wesly Tay-
lor, AL Pepper, Joe Crisaful, Rus
sell Kidwell and AL Hebrew.
The Flour team has some of the
best young players on the sand
lots.
