Concerning Montagu.

r HAVE played several rounds with
John Montagu in California and
I'll take him as an even bet
against any golfer you can name
over a championship course.
In the first place, he is around 80
years old. He Is feet 10 inches In
height and he weighs 2o5 pounds.
His physical power is amazing; a
strength that is combined with 1.-THE
ness and muscle looseness. He is built
like Jim LondoS and just about as
strong.
played with him at Lakeside,
Riviera and other hard courses around
Los Angeles and he handled most of
the long four-par holes, from 430 to
450 yards, with drive and niblick
over soft fairways.
He has the grip Of doom in his
hands, which are like active steel.
He has the ability to concentrate
with keen, alert mind.
He would be murder in an amateur
championShip-here or in Great Brit
ain-and a distinct threat in any
open.
why QOu you euucE oIic Va CAieoe
championships" asked him.
I'm not interested in champion
ships" he said. II like golf for other
things"
Montagu comes from the East-he
has mining interests in Arizona-he is
one Of the most pleasant golfing COM
panions you will meet-a square
shooter who at least will try to give
you the best Of it.

MONTAGU SPURNS-
TOURNEY HONORS
Master of All Shots Has
Played 10 Rounds in a
Row Under 70.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Y OS ANGELES, January 18.-
When you bat around in this
sporting game for more than
80 years, you stumble over
stories beyond belief.
I have just come upon one of these
rare episodes in the person of John
Montagu, an amateur golfer who never
plays in tournaments of any sort
and yet he Is a golfer who would be
o wrecking whirlwind in any amateur
championship and on par with al
most any pro.
In the first place, John Montagu
runs neck and neck with Jimmy
Thompson of Long Beach as the
longest consistent hitter in the world
And he has all the backing any one
wants that he will outhit Thompson
one Of the mightiest maulers OF all
times.
In addition to this. he can play any
type of shot the game calls for, from
q full iron to short 2itch-and there
are few better putters.
He Is more likely to break 10 than
20 over 10 on any championship course
you give him-under pressure, where
he is at his best-and with all his
blasting power, he is one of the finest
golf stylists you will see in long
time. He broke 10 ten consecutive
times on one of the most difficult
scoring courses around Los Angeles
Only a year or so ago, he played
o United States open champion who
shot a 81 over his home course. Yet
Montagu beat him, 2 and l. with IS
He has played many of the hardest
courses in California in So to 66-ano
yet you probably never heard hi'
name. Once, on nine holes, Leo Diego
shot a 80 against him, and was
down. You can have him." Leo said
to me.
He Is from 10 to Is yards beyond
Lawson Little in distance and one OF
the best iron players in golf-but he
is still nationally unknown. For one
thing, Montagu swings a 17-ounce
driver as II 1t were q feather duSter.

TIGERS LINING Up
FOR FLAG BATTLE
No HoIdouts in Ranks of
American League Champs,
Who Will Stand Pat.
BY the Associated Press.

~ ETROIT, January l8.-The
Detroit Tigers, the club that
made the turnstiles click for
the American League last
year, were picking up the odds and
ends around the front Office today.
getting ready for another pennant
fight without a holdout in sight un-
less Schoolboy Rowe decides to hold
out-for more pitching assignments.
The business relations between
Frank J. Navin, president Of the De-
troit base ball club, and his players
are q club secret, and base ball men
cannot remember when holdouts
worried the Tiger management since
Ty Cobb and Dutch Leonard were
classed as holdouts.
The start Of the Tigers Spring
drill at Lakeland, Fla. is six weeks
away, but the foundation for another
pennant drive has already begun with
the ordering Of Pitcher Tommy
Bridges and Marvin Owen, the third
baseman, to Hot Springs for early
conditioning. Alvin Crowder, who was
sold to the Tigers last year just in
time to cut In on the finish of the
pennant fight, may also be sent to
Hot Springs.
Grooming Rowe Nows
TINE club management already has
Rowe's pitching arm under
examination to make certain
that he will be ready for another
fling at q new record for consecutive
victories.
Manager Mickey Cochrane Is ex-
pected to depend upon Rowe, Bridges,
Crowder and Eldon Auker to combine
their talents In winning the biggest
share Of 100 ball games in the 1885
campaign. Rowe was one of the pace
settlers Of the league last season, tying
the league record for consecutive
victories. but falling short of a new
mark for both leagues. Crowder and
Auker, the latter having the best
earned-run average of the staff last
year. are expected to be important
factors In the 1885 campaign.
Cochrane Likes Infield.
.VXI1TH the other clubs in the cir
w cult still juggling their pros
pective line-ups for the next
season. 1t is likely that the Tigers
will be the only club In the American
League to start the season with the
same infield set-up that finished the
1884 campaign.
Hank Greenberg and Owen dis
appointed the Tiger fans in the
world series, but Cochrane and the
club management have shown no dis
position to try to replace them.
Greenberg set the pace for two-base
blows last year and may be an even
greater hitter this year.
Gehringer and Rogell, the other
members Of the quartet which played
every game in 1884 together, except
one, will be back in the lineup, with
Goslin. Fox and White in the out
field.
The Tigers proved to be the cham
pions Of the league last year and
Mickey Cochrane thinks they will be
better this year.

that other clubs, chiefly the Yanks,

fielder, long has been interested in Roy
johnson of Boston and Manush and
Johnny Stone of the Griffmen.
Cleveland, facing the necessity Of
replacing Bruce Campbell, and, with
only untried rockies now at hand to
battle for the vacant outf1eld assign
ment, may be interested in a Wash
angton gardener.
II the Chisox let Al Simmons 60 to
Detroit, as popularity rumored, and, in
return failed to grab an outfielder,
then Jimmy Dykes also may be anx-
4ous to talk to Grih and Bucky Har-
ris. Dykes needs pitchers. If Sim

new interest In Earl Whitehill. II q
pitcher or two Is transferred from De-
troit to Chicago in the event Of Sim

Unanimous offer such as Yawkey's Of

FIRST grade stuff, you say. AL right,

best hockey circles only one assist can
be credited when q goal Is scored?

skate checks and straight rights TO
the eye. "Yet very seldom do we get
credit for an assist unless we are right
under the scorers nose at the mouth
Of the goal"

assists Gan assist counts the same as
a goal in individual scoring) than
are given In games played in the

"You follow any hockey play and
you will see, when your eye gets ac-
customed to the speed at which the
game Is played, that there is a great
deal more to score than the man
who drives 1t in. Not always, Of
course-look at Schriner," said Red
Dutton.
Did you know that Schriner, q
rookie, was fourth highest scorer In
