MYSTERY WOMAN
IS LINKS WONDER
Lone Club, Yogi Philosophy
Putting Fair Coniurer
Near En-. 'ish Title.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
r ONDON.-England's Pam Barton
is Americas new woman golf
champion. but 24-year-old
- Gloria Minoprio remains the
most bizarre. eccentric girl player Of
class in this country-even perhaps q
threat to Miss Barton's British title.
Tall, beautiful. mysterious, dressed
in close-ftting black Stacks and
sweater, playing with only one club
cleek-Gloria Minoprio is the talk Of
British links and club houses.
Her rise has been meteoric and her
golflng days only extended back four
years. In that time she has clicked"
through several rounds of match play
in the British amateur.
In all, she has played but ~ rounds,
So holes Of which were in tournaments
Her handicap Is 4.
She Deals in Magic.
WIDELY known as a conjurer (only
recently she refused $4,000
offer for a world tour, Gloria carries
some Of her mysticism with her on the
fairways, coldly playing each shot with
calm which has earned her the nick
name Of Human Refrigerator"
Like lot of other golfers, she car
ries about 20 clubs in her bag-but
she leaves the bag and 10 clubs in the
locker and marches out to the first tee
with solitary cleek as weapon.
She's tried swinging wooden clubs
and using other irons, but they
wouldn't work for her.
Typical of her individualism, she has
concentrated on one club and she is
at the point where this will do any
thing for her but chase a gopher.
Shows Up Professional.
NORTHUMBERLAND DRIVES,
sand blasts. chips and puts are
as good as made when she starts out
in earnest.
Once at an English club, she and
the professional had a contest for ac-
curacy in recovering the ball from a
sand trap. She used her cleek. He q
niblick. And she gave him a sound
lesson.
Her singular costume for the links
has aroused much comment, but Gloria
claims it gives her freedom and con-
centration. Trousers are freer than
skirts, and they aren't blowing around
in the breeze and taking by mind OF
q shot.
Gloria says that understanding of q
simple principle Of Indian philosophy,
Yogi. has enabled her to concentrate
easily on any type Of shot, but she
will not reveal what the principle is.

she had several bad holes, notably

feated Business by a 14-6 score.
Centrals passing was the big
factory in the victory, Long and
Kaplan throwing the ball in a
manner which would have done
credit to college passers. Wise
and Raedy also threw a few lat
erals for the Stenogs.

CECIL CAN HANDLE
JOB, BOSSES FEEL
Looks Better in Infield After
Uncertain Trial as i.
Gardener.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

)Ec1L TRAINS turned in his
uniform little over q month
ago with few folk who follow
~ the Washington ball club
knowing exactly what he was-short-
stop, outfielder or a third baseman
who did not play third base. He fin
ished the American League season
playing short for the Nationals, but
that hardly meant definite answer
to the majority of fans. After all. he
was placed in the outfleld at one time,
supposedly for keeps. He even was
found on second base.
But II 1t will help to clear up any
tmystery as to Travis status as a Ma
tional it can be said here and now
that Cecil, as far as Manager Bucky
Harris and President Clark Griffith
are concerned, is shortstop. Before
the 1896 season opened the youthful
Georgian was promised bonus by
Griffith If he made good in the posi-
ton he was playing for the first time.
He did not make good right of the
bat. On the contrary, so little hope
was held for him at the halfway
mark that Cecil was shifted to right
field and the Shortstop job was given
to Red Kress. But at the finish of
the season Travis was given his bonus
for making good at short and club
owners are not in the habit Of giving
away perfectly good dough.
AS soon as he shakes of q cold
that put him to bed yesterday. Grit
fifth is going back to the sanctity Of
his Offices and plan bartering pro-
gram calculated to bolster the Wash
1ngton club. One species Of player he
assures you he is not looking for is
shortstop.

Not Looking for Shortstop.

Not Looking for Shortstop.
ITO MY mind" comments Grit
fifth, Travis made good as a
shortstop. I know he did not look
good in the early part Of the season,
but, after all, you had to go lightly
on him. He was stepping into one
of the toughest positions in base ball
"A post that was brand-new to him.
And, although he isn't the kind of a
boy to tighten up it is just possible
that he tried little too hard to make
good.
After Harris took him off short
stop and later put him back, he i'm
proved 100 per cent. During the
final month of the season he did ev-
erything-field, throw and maneuver
in his position like shortstop
should do"
Griff admitted that Travis often has
been a topic Of conversation between
himself and Harris since the season
closed. Sure, we have" says Grit,
land we've agreed that he has def
=
one thing. we're not looking for any
body else to play there next season."
That pretty well spikes rumors that
Roy Hughes or Bill Knickerbocker
OF the Indians will wear a Washing
ton uniform next year. In other ma
5or league cities, whenever the gossip
mongers gather. they discuss the pos
sibilities Of Knick or Hughes playing
mere. Just THAT foundation there
Is for such report. unless 1t merely
is that Harris inquired about Hughes
ct last years Winter meeting, Is un-
known.
Outfielding Drew Varied Opinions.
PROBABLY If pressed for an opin-
ion, both Harris and Grif1ith
would admit that Travis best position
is third base, which he inherited from
the veteran Ossie Bluege in 1884 and
held throughout 1885, except for
week or so in left field. But Buddy
Lewis has come along and proven him
self too good a prospect to run OF
third. Then, too, Lewis is a flasher
helder at third than Travis, adequate
as the boy from Georgia proved to be
toward the end Of his regime there.
After his brief fling in left field,
the opinion that Travis was an out
1ielder was widespread. He looked
good for youngster chasing fly balls
for the first time and the taking Of
no liberties by base-runners was per-
mitted by his arm. Then, after his
initial trial at short, Travis was shifted
to the outfield again last Summer and
he did not fare so we'll. In fact, def.
mite shortcomings cropped up and
little time was lost in replacing him
with Carl Reynolds and then Fred
Sington. This time the widespread
opinion was that Travis was not an
outflelder.
There may have been reason to dis
miss his outfelding trial lightly this
season, being jerked from the infield
to the outfield within "a hours Is like
ly to bewilder youngster not % years
old. Then, too. he did not 60 back
into the pasture which he patroled
for that short time last year.. Even
veteran outfielders play left field far
better than right, or vice versa.
At any rate, unless Jake Rupert or
Lou Comiskey walks up to Grit at the
Winter meeting next month and makes
. present Of Frankie Crosetti or Luke
Applmg, you can look for Cecil Travis
to open the season again at shortstop.
And probably do better early season
Job.
