base only to find Johnny Vergez se- curely stationed there by virtue of his superior hitting. Bucky cast about a bit and discovered that his pest chance for a job with the team was to try to win place on the mound staff. Manager Jimmy Will son, after watching Walters toss strikes to the first baseman, while working out at third, really gave his consent and even went to work coaching the youngster. He was quite a sensation on the rubber when he shut out the world cham pion Cardinals with four hits.
 Beck To Third
 After a string of victories he went along with fair-to- middling success until one day when Wilson, finding himself in a difficult spot with only two outfelders available for duty, called on Walters to try his hand in the outfield. When the pitching staff needed bolstering Walters took up hurling again. His pitching re- cord showed nine victories against the same number of defeats. But the strange part of it all is that Walters finished up the season right where he started-at third base.
 Bobby Refs of the Boston Bees is another infielder-outfielde pitch CT. Most of his mound work was con- fined to relief pitching but he won the two games he started for Brook lyn last year, one an Thinning af- fair, Al Lopez, now of the Boston Bees, often took off his catching gear while with Brooklyn to go out on the infield and see just how much fun it was for second baseman to take a throw from the catcher, dodge flying spikes and get would be base stealer.
 Ralph Winegarner went to the Cleveland Indians with a reputation as Handy Andy He made a de- cided hit with Manager Steve O'Neily by the way he handled him. self in his numerous assignments. He hit 300 and did a creditable job on the mound.
 Ryba Plays 'Em All
 Pepper Martin alternate between the outfield and infield for the Car dinals. He had one brief whirl on the mound but did not threaten Dizzy Deans regular turn. The real ack-of- trades of the Cardinals TO- ster is the veteran rookie, Mike Ry- ba. Ryba reported to the Cardinals late last season after he was rated the best pitcher in the American Association and one of the leading batters of that circuit. He has play ed every position on the field, and a couple of years ago piloted Spring field of the Western Association.
 Randy Moore of Brooklyn is catcher -infielder, outfielder. Jimmy Foxx played third, first and caught for Connie Mack while he was with the Athletics. Mark Koenig played every infield position for the Giants within two-weeks' period. Mark once took fling at pitching when his eyes were troubling him but he didn't set the leagues afire.
 Babe Ruth wasn't exactly an all- around ball player but the Babe did all right on the mound before his slugging prowess demanded that he be played every day. He wasn't bad first baseman and, before his legs gave out, he was mighty fine outfielder.

GOLF MAKES GAIN
AS FAIR SEX GAME
Fair Sex Plays 40 Per Cent
of 100000 Rounds
on Cards of 1885.

@HcAGo, January 1l.-Herbert
CRAFTS, editor and proprietor
of Golfng and Golfdom, re-
leases his annual compilation
of facts. figures and fancies on the
state of the ancient and horrible
game. There are 5,727 golf courses in
these United States. OF those 4,155
come under the heading Of private
clubs; 256 are municipality owned and
512 are operated as daily fee courses.
There are 1859 courses of 10 holes or
more and 1868 or holes Some 125
new municipal courses have been built
during the past two years through the
agency Of relief monies.
Rounds of play increased during 1885
from 55.000,0 900 to $4,000 900, which is
rather surprising when one considers
the weather conditions which re-
tarded the season. The number Of
active golfers last year was approx
mately 1.250,000, of whom 6O0,0 900
were members of private clubs. Occa-
sional players, playing six or less
rounds per season, accounts for an
other 250,000.
There was a great increase in the
number of rounds played by women
despite the heavy week end play by
men, when women are denied the
privileges of most private clubs
and they now account for some 40
per cent of the entire play and IS
per cent Of the active players.

Acceptance of Costly Prizes
In Golf Will Imperil Amateur
Standing, U.S Il. Warning

too many clubs tends to minimize the
skill of the game and make it too
mechanical as we'll as to increase the
cost
aside from the above important
features, it creates an unreasonably
heavy burden for a caddy to carry"
the committee said. The committee
is not inclined to recommend at this
time any change in the rules which
would restrict the number of clubs a
player might carry. but it earnestly
expresses the hope that the manufac-
turers and players alike will agree
with our thought that 1t is important
to discourage the present tendency
toward carrying such an excessive
number of clubs"
The Amateur Status and Conduct
Committee disapproves of award of
prizes Of large monetary value, such
as automobiles, for amateur tourna-
mentS, feeling that amateur competi-
tion for them is detrimental to the
best interests and spirit of the game,
that sentimental value of prizes
should transcend their financial value
since amateur competition is primarily
for sport and honor and not for
visible prizes" It coupled this state
ment with the threat that the asso-
citation probably would disbar from
the amateur championship any one
accepting such valuable prizes"

NJ. A. ASSOCIATION
ADDS JUNIOR GOLF.
Congressional Gets Event.
McPhaiI of Baltimore Is
Named President.

%HE Middle Atlantic Golf Asso-
citation has embarked on a new
field. Already holding two
Il major sectional tournaments
each year, the association decided at
its annual meeting last night to stage
a junior championship this year.
1t will be held at the Congressional
Country Club during the Summer, on
dates to be chosen by the Executive
Committee.
The mems championship tourna-
ment will be played at the Five Farms
course of the Baltimore Country Club
June 10, II and II. The women's
tourney will be played in Baltimore,
probably at the Suburban Club, on
dates to be chosen later, probably in
October.
Charles E. McPhail Of the Baltimore
Country Club was elected president,
succeeding Fred M. J. D. Mackay of
Richmond in that Office. Other Off
GERS were chosen as follows: First vice
president, Harvey L. Cobb, Congress
sional; second vice president, Robert
Stead, jr., Chevy Chase: secretary
treasurer, w. r. McCallum, Wash
ington.
The meeting, lasting for two hours,
was given over to general discussion
of golf problems in this area. The
Junior tourney to be staged this year
is the first such affair to be held by
the mid-Atlantic body.

championships last year, and that was
only the beginning for the mop
haired wop," as his associates call him.
Smith has been one of the leading
professional gunners for a half-dozen
years and is overdue for the open
championship. With little to do but
work on his game, he'll be tops by June
and Baltusrol should suit his type of
play.
Cooper has been campaigning for
the past 1G years and is no juvenile,
but neither is he a grandpere. Light
Horse finally has obtained control Of
a jittery batch of nerves and has i'm
proved his putting. Harry is one Of
the finest scorers in the game when
he is hitting the ball, and he may we'll
be hitting it when the next open comes
along.
Little Apt to Figure.
SHOULD like to think that Lawson
Little will be factor in the 1886
open. It's always fun to see the per-
turbation of the fashion-plate pro-
fessionals when an amateur comes
along and wins the open. Little is
fine shot maker, but so far lacks the
consistency in medal play necessary
to win the open championship. He
may acquire that within the next six
since he expects to do con-
campaigning, and his mighty
wooden smacks will do lot over the
Baltusrol layout.
Any one OF Is players can win the
open any year but only one ever does,
and this year 1 do not think the
winner will be Sam Parks.

PARKS UNLIKELY
TO RETAIN TITLE
Big Fight for LaureIs Apt
to Be Among RevoIta,
Cooper, H. Smith.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.
HICAGO, January 1I.-Per-
sonal guess is there will be
one new national golf cham
pion In this year of grace,
1885. w. Lawson Little and Mrs.
Glenna Collett Ware may hang on
to their hard-won championships, but
odds are that Sam Parks, jr., will
surrender the open crown he won
at Pittsburgh last June.
Since 1905 only two players, Bob
Jones and Johnny McDermott, have
nipped of the national open cham
pionship in successive seasons and one
hesitates to place Sam Parks, jr., in
the class with either of those old
matsers.
To win the national open twice
running, a man must have lot of
skill and commensurate amount OF
luck, and it's doubtful if Sam Parks
can come up with a sufficient cargo of
either when the lads assemble at
Balthusrol next Summer Parks has
done little to indicate he is durable
champion since winning at Oakmont,
which was his golf course.
Veterans Marked "Out."
EURTFER guess is that none of the
old boys, meaning by that such
gents as Walter Hagen, Macdonald
Smith. Gene Sarazen, ct al. will come
up with the winning score at Baltusrol
which is a long way removed, and
the time lapse offers plenty of oppor-
unity to do more and funnier guessing.
Hagen still is a good hitter of the
ball, but is about finished as serious
challenger for the national champion
ship. and after 20 odd years of failure,
it's not likely Mac Smith suddenly can
start throwing sevens. So we'll wash
up Hagen and Smith as bidders in the
open and let it go at that.
Sarazen accomplished little or
through the 1885 champion
ship season. and we'll predict the same
for him this year. Neither do we ex-
pect Olin Dutra to do much in the
open If he competes. The big Don now
Is devoting most of his time TO in
struction and club duties and has lost

KEEPS HELEN BUSY
Former Champion Believed
Polishing Her Game for
Overseas Play.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Va Y EW YORK, January 11.-Pres-
M ent activity of Mrs. Helen
VI Wills Moody savors of serious
l. enterprise. Not in several
years has she played so much Winter
tennis as now, when the courts of the
California Tennis Club. San Francisco,
see her in action almost daily.
She plays anyone, everyone, and the
impression she gives is of a healthy
young woman enjoying herself i'm
mensely. But If her mind could be
read-and no ones mind is less easily
read than that of this imperturbable
girl whose face is none the less mask
because it is lovely; whose thoughts,
intentions, emotions have never known
public reflection, much less expression
what would be found? The usual
picture, no doubt, of an athlete, once
supreme, who with reluctance relin-
quishes a notion of supremacy.
Close friends of Mrs. Moody advise
us she never again will appear in ma
tional or international competition. So
they advised last year. And how wrong
they we're!
