EXPERIMENTAL GOLFERS
THE HAIG'S IDEA
INJURY-HIT TIGERS
TEAM ON DOWN-GRADE

It's funny what different types
of temperament constitute a
group of golfers fighting for a
large tourney victory. Bobby
Jones, the champ of champs, was
without a doubt one of the cool
est of the snOt-makers, end be-
cause of his ability to remain at
the same emotional pitch at all
times, was able to get in his
share of practices before each
large tourney, the effects of these
ple-tourney rounds having little
effect on his spirit of play when
tee-off time rolled around. There
are other golfers whose practice
rounds determine their type of
play in the rounds that count, a
good warmer-up tit of shooting
giving the golfer confidence, while
a somewhat disastrous practice
round producing an effect result
ing in erratic golf tourney play.
Then again there are those who
take their practice rounds lightly
enough but who crack under the
strain of a bad beginning, as
well as those who are calm
cough to back-up a fair start
with a sensational winning fin
ish.

The Detroit Tigers have at last
caught up with the inevitable in
jury-jinx, so it seems, the same
fate that SO miraculously escaped
them in their pennant-winning
years of 1884 and 1885. First of
all, Big Hank Greenberg, the
leagues most valuable player in
1885 and the heaviest hitter the
Tigers have had in years, has been
out several weeks with a broken
wrist, and is not expected to re-
turn to the lineup for some time
even yet. Jack Burns, Green
berg's sub, has been more than a
capable understudy defensively.
but his hitting has not driven in
the runs that Greenberg's bat was
capable of producing with regu-
larity. The loss of Greenberg
alone for a number of weeks is
enough in itself to rob the team
of its pennant chances. But as if
this were not enough, Mickey
Cochrane has been forced to re-
main idle with an illness that
will be a real menace to his play
ing for the rest OF his days. Then
again, SchoOlbOy Rowe and Ray
HaywOrth, the latter Cochrane's
number one understudy, have both
been out with injuries at critical
times, leaving the team bit
weakened in the battery depart
ment.

1t is apparent that Detroit, from
this time forward, barring a mi
raculous collective recovery from
its ills. will be on the dOwngrade.
Certainly Bengal chances for a
third consecutive pennant have
been dimmed considerably. And
if and when Cochrane and Green
berg have staged complete recOv-
cries by next season, the constant
aging of Goslin, COchrane and
the others are bound to take away
a fair-sized part of the teams
batting power, something which
the young Tigers fail to show i'm
mediate hopes of replacing. The
play of Owen, Rogell and Crow
der, as well. seem to be on the
downgrade, and this trio's spark
ling work of the past two seasons
will be sorely missed, unless Rox-
lie Lawson, Chef Laabs. and a few

Perhaps the best of the COM
petitive spirits is that of Walter
Hagen, whom we mentioned in
this column recently as having
proclaimed himself, and what we
believed to be rightly so, the best
competitive temperamental golfer
in the game. And this is borne
out strikingly in the fact that
Hagen won the P. G.. A. tourney
for four consecutive years, be-
ginning in 1924 at French Lick,
Indiana. This feat, with the
strain of defending the title last
ing oyer a period of four year, was
perhaps nearer perfect example

than that of Bobby Jones in win

score, however, we are quite

DENTAL CLINIC IS
BEING CONTINUED
Extension Of School Holt
days Creates Opening for
More Children.

Vance county's dental clinic. under
auspices Of the county and State
boards of health, ran out of patients
today, and Dr. q. p. Mitchell, health
officer, announced that engagements
were open the rest Of the week for
young school children to come to his
office and receive needed treatment
from DR.. Pringlc, in charge Of the
work.
The open engagements came about
by reason of the fact that the city
and county schools will not open un-
til next Monday, this being a delay
from tomorrow, the original date set
for rcsuming class room activity fol-
lowing the Christmas-New Year holi-
days.
DR.. Pringle works in the schools
while they arc in session. An effort
was made to fill in sufficient engage
mcnts Of school children to keep him
busy during the holiday period, so
that just that much more work could
be gotten behind him in the program.
But the postponement Of the opening
Of the schools resulted in the engage
ment list being depleted.
Any child under IL is invited to call
at the health office, where the work
is being done during the holiday pc
Rod, instead of in the schools. Par
cnts are urged to accompany their
children. The invitation for the re-
mainder Of the week is to school chill
dren in any part of teh county. A
dozen patients can be handled daily.
DR.. Pringlc does the actual work that
is needed to be done, and goes be-
yond the mere examination of the
child, The work is free by reason of
an appropriation by the Vance Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners and a
grant from the State Board Of Health
When the Christmas holidays began
two weeks ago, Dr. Pringle was en-
gagged in Central school. He has not
finished there, and will resume his
examinations and treatment there
when the children return to classes
next Monday. Meantime, any eligible
children from any part of the county
will be treated at the health office.

cclcbrapts were not deferred here last
Mig. They gave the usual noisy
greeting to the lusty youngster Of the
New Year 1886. If anything, the noise
making was a bit more spirited than
usual.
lherc was the usual blowing OF
whistles, honlling Of automobile
horns, ringing of bells and explosion
of fireworks. Evidently large por-
ton Of the Christmas supply OF fire
works had been reserved for the New
! ears arrival.
A big New Years Eve dance at tie
West End Country Club apparently
led in the city's celebration. But there
were private watch parties in vari-
Gus homes of the city. And many of
them doubtless had provided appro-
pirate refreshments for the occasion.
