vacationing horses spending the
Winter at ease on farms in the blue

through weeks Of "legging up," before
they can be started on the strenuous
grind they must undergo to be ready
for the big race.
The derby comes early this year,
May 2, and fitness may 60 long way
toward offsetting any shortcomings in
class. Also, with Southern and Pa
cific Coast tracks offering fat purses.

''IIl tell you something" said Mr..
Foxx. sixty home runs in Babe
Ruth's time would be about 40 home

Things are tougher now"
The Margate, Md, mauler was
asked to explain why things are
tougher now for home run hitterS.
The ball is a bit deader, to be sure,
than it was when George Herman
Ruth took his so round-trip rides, but
that hardly accounts for the difference
between 60 and 40.
WELL" said Mr.. Foxx, scratching
his chin, "the ball parks have changed.
They're tougher than they were in
Ruth's time. I'll give you an example.
Have a Screen Now.

high and hard. But I counted IL or
Is times in st. Louis when my hits
would drop OF the screen they got in
the ST. Louis ball park. They didn't
have that screen the year Ruth made

right field, where the Babe hit EN-"
So, If it hadn't been for sinister
maneuvers of the architects of St
Louis, Mr.. Foxx might we'll have es-
tablished an all-tine high for home
runs. But he doesn't want to alibi
himself on that score.
A warm admirer Of George III.
Ruth, Mr.. Foxx comedies that
go is a lot of home runs any
time.
Ever since he was transferred from
Philadelphia to Boston the critics
have been saying that Jimmy is a
cinch to improve his home run totals
The left-feld fence is Jimmy's IA
vorite target, and the left-feld fence
Is considerably shorter in Boston than
In Philadelphia-one of the shortest
in the league. in fact.
II was thinking about that the
other day" said James. "Detroit's the
easiest park for me to hit in, but !
got to admit that Boston has a short
left wall. Some Of the balls that the
outfielders caught OF me in Phila-
delphia would Of gone over the fence
in Boston.
"On the other hand, some Of my
line drives that went for homers in
Philly would of hit the wall in Bos-
ton. The Boston wall is higher. You
have to consider a lot of things in
this home run business. I fgger that
the Boston park will help me, and I
hgger I might make 60 home runs Or
more with the breaks, but don't ever

A Long Step Forward.

TEN years ago Bob Jones had boy
from Atlanta named Luke Ross,
who carried Bob's golf bag through
many a championship Obviously
both Bob and Luke were above re-
proach in so far as taking any advan-
tage of the rules of golf were con-
cerned. But at that time there we're
other travelling caddies who we're not
so upright. Stories began going the
rounds about some of the lads, and
the result was that the United States
Golf Association ruled out the travel
ing caddies. Nowadays caddies at all
the major championships are fur
nished by the club holding the tour
nament, and no outside boy could get
in with a shoe-horn. The caddies
themselves see to that.
The District association will take
long forward step if it enforces the
regulations on caddies, both of the
travelling type and those who commit
ofenses.

Nearly Caused Caddie Strike.

1T HAS been common practice for
L many years around Washington for
players from one club who go for a
friendly round of golf at another club
to take caddies along. In one case
last year this practice came very
nearly resulting in caddie strike at
one Of the larger clubs, the boys hold
ing that since they were not supposed
to carry bags elsewhere, visiting cad
dies should not be allowed to carry
bags on the course where they worked.
The single exceptions made by the
District association in frowning on the
use Of travelling caddies apply to pro-
fessionals. who frequently have their
own caddies. paid by the week, and
who do comparatively little travelling
anyhow.
But over and above this factor the
District association feels strongly that
o boy who has committed some offense
at one club shouldn't be allowed to go
down the road to another club and
obtain a job. Most of the golf clubs
around Washington have their own
caddy groups, known to the caddie
master, and the District association
feels that the man In charge of the
caddies should report to the other
ceddie groups, known to the caddie
mitted some offense for which he is
barred, on the theory that an offense
ut one course also is an offense at an
other course and the boy should be
disciplined. The idea is good and
should be carried through.
