Cob During World War.

A FORMER COB in Uncle Sans blue
during the war, Witty didn't take
up golf seriously until he was well
along in years. He is 38 years old
now, rather an advanced age for a
pro to have championship ideas, but
if you were to drive up in a hack and
ask his brother pros about Witty they
would be unanimous about theil
opinion of him.
"a. grand guy, that Cox. and a
darrad good golfer. A guy who might
win any championship"
Witty is a Straight-line Swinger,
which may not mean anything to
some folks. but means lot to some
of the young pros who have advanced
ideas on the golf swing. 1t means
that Witty tries to get away from the
pronounced pivot of the older school
of golfers and achieve the matter of
knocking a golf ball from here to
there by the simplest possible method.
To him and to some of the more ad-
vanced thinkers this means swinging
the clubhead as if it were on the end
of straight. or pendulumlike line.
KY Laffoon, Henry Picard and 'Hor-
ton Smith are among the pronounced
| adherents of the straight-line swing.
They haven't done so badly with it.
A master of all clubs, WHY'S golf
forte is the play with the long irons.
There isn't a man in America who
can take No. l or No. 2 iron (usu-
ally) the bugaboo of golfers) and hit a
zooming shot straighter on the OBJ
jective than Cox.
The putter is his pet peeve, and
yet his putter sometimes acts like a
long-lost brother. When it does, he
goes on a scoring spree that knocks
par cock-eyed. He may do just that
in the open. and if he does, Witty
will come home with the champion
ship scalp dangling at his belt.

rules.
Up in Philadelphia. visiting
American League clubs are
learning to their unconcealed
joy even a sOur-pussed town will
support consistent loser and
get a lot of fun out of it.
The amazing fact that Connie
Mack's diamond entry is outdrawing
the laughter and more expert Phil
adelphia clubs of the last three years
was brought to light yesterday, when
the Nationals stopped off at Shibe
Park to pick up their seventh victory
in games with the AS. No team is
likely to draw 71.754 people at Shibe
Park, as the Nationals did in Yankee
Stadium on Decoration Day, but for
team that had to be torn apart
and sold because of financial trou-
bleS, the Athletics are proving that all
of the dire box-office fears of the
Spring were unwarranted.
Thrice this season upward of TO-
900 Philadelphians have paid their
way into Shibe Park to see Comics
weird and miscast collection of collie
glans, sandlotters, North Carolina
farmhands, broken down minor
leaguers and a goodly measure of
never -has-beens.
This Is a tribute that wasn't
paid when MIR. Mack's ensemble
included the renowned James
Emory Foxx, supported by an
aIl-star cast.

Admiration Replaces Scorn.


THE AS of. today are just as futile
as they were on April IA. Raw.
unpublished kid pitchers keep moving
into Shibe Park and moving out.
Comics scouts comb the college cam
puses and the backwoods townships,
ship recruits by the carload to Mack
and keep trying.
Some of the kid pitchers
don't even know how to stand
on the rubber. Some of them
not only can't find the plate,
but can't keep the ball inside Of
the bulIpen.
But the Apathetics have one re-
deeming feature lacked by at least
the 1885 club. They're trying-they're
not laying down and "dogging it,"
like Comics all-stars of year ago.
Yesterday Connie dragged out a
long-armed, lim-shanked pitcher
named Stu Flythe, fresh from the
North Carolina State campus. He was
not lacking for encouragement. You
would have thought the guy was the
ghost of Grove.
don't know whether the thing has
has a moral to it, but the lean old
tactician they call Connie Mack,
proudly plotting seventh place ball
club, for which only Wally Moses is
playing in big-league style, is basking
in a glory different, but no less shin
ing, than when his Athletics were
feared the length and breadth of base

Psychological Victory for Connie.
IT STRIKES this department as a
notable victory in crowd psychol-
ogy for the ancient Mr.. Mack, who
was regarded as fit to cruelty in Phil
adelphia a month and a half ago.
After scanning the box-office records
for the last few years. and deducting
this total from the cost of maintain
ing his band of stars, Connie reached
the conclusion that he had to do some
selling and, in Tom Yawkey, he found
ready buyer. Philadelphia fans set
up howl of protest and local news

by yanking their base ball writers off

When the A'S-lOng since
nicknamed the Apathetics--
opened their 1886 home season
against the Nationals, the city
of Philadelphia openly con-
trived to give vent to its scorn.
Only 1000 fans turned out.
In the face of it, Connie Mack did
something unprecedented in the hal
cyon days of the Athletics, when Foxx,
Grove, Cochrane, Earnshaw, Sim
mons and Bishop were running rough
shod over opposition. Connie fought
back by marching at the head of his
misf1t band and helping the mayor
(who didn't stay for the game) to
raise the flag.

in his attacks even than the Repub

the polls June 6, and yet he persists"
Mcdonald has been in the State only
~ years, and was here eight years be-
lore he ever decided what party he
belonged to. He says he is in line
with Roosevelt and yet he never made
a single speech for Roosevelt, said
the speaker.

there are two reasons why I am not

and I am going to be governor and
don't want to talk about any citizen

declared
The speaker charged Mcdonald

now abandoned all issues and is deal
ing solely in prejudices."
Hoey said Mcdonald had claimed
there was only one issue, and that was
machine control, and that Hoey was
the candidate of the machine. Gle

81 have not been a lobbyist" he re-
piled, saying he had represented the
Duke Power Company twice, but only
before a Legislative committee, ana
challenged Dr. Mcdonald or any mem
Der of the last several. legislatures to
say that he had ever mentioned to
them privately any matter OF lcglsla-
ton affecting this company. He had
brought 10 suits against the company
in the last 20 years. He also said he
owned no stock in any tobacco COM
pany and had never represented any
of them, and is under no obligation
to any of them.
"Unless 1 am man of character,
/ ought not to be governor of North
Carolina, and if l am, then McDOn-
aids charges are false" Hoey said,
adding he was profoundly grateful for
the $4,000 votes he received in the
June primary, the largest ever given
to any one man in any primary in
the State.
Campaign issues he had been de-
Tending were completely ratified by
the recent Democratic State COnven-
tion Hoey asserted and yet McDon-
aid is attacking the party. DO you
want to turn the Democratic party
over to man like that to rum" he
qucried.
Under No Obligations.
II am under no obligations except
to the people of the State Hoey said.
"NcDonald says he will kick all pre-
sent State officials out if he is elect
ed. Who will he put in in their places?
1t would be interested to go about
over the State and learn how many
different people he has promised jobs
to- But he won't be making any APP
pointments next year"
He says 1 am rich" the candidate
declared, referring again to McDOn-
aids accusations against him. II have
no money. 1 have always paid my
debts and my taxes. Mcdonald was
here for eight of the II years he has
lived in the State before he even list
ed his taxes, yet he talks about tax
dodgers"
Mr.. Hoey advocated free school
books and better schools with equal
opportunity to all the children He
the cause of agricultural
betterment, higher prices for farmers,
compact legislation and everything
the State could do for the aid and
benefit of the farmer. He pledged
State cooperation with the Federal
government to get decent prices and
favored State agreements to regulate
tobacco crops and assure higher
prices. He wants to see the States
industries prosper and labor to have
a fair chance.
Il offer such ability as I have to
the people of this State, without

closed with a ringing invitation to
young Democrats, old Democrats, the
ladies and Republicans to join in the
march to victory, paying
tribute to Roosevelt and predicting an
even larger majority in 1886 than he
got in 1882.
