7ACOBUS, professional at Ridge

his nth term as president. The Illi-
nois section started q campaign last
Summer to build up Alex Cunning

George Aulback Of Dallas, Tex, and

The association president aroused
the displeasure OF the Illinois section

the trophy given by Harry E. Radix

Lack of Discretion Feared.

"T>URNING ball player loose in
restaurant for the winter" says
MIR. Barrow, sis like putting your cat
tie to Craze in a vegetable garden.
They don't use any discretion"
When Mr.. Di Maggie set out for
home this year, after the World Series,
he mentioned casually that he would
devote most of the winter to making
things hum in his new water front
beanery in San Francisco.
The full import of this statement
did not dawn on MIR. Barrow till a
couple days later Then its sinister
message struck him back of the ear
like a sandbag and he yelped with
pain and apprehension. He recalled
that Di Maggie had smiled when he
said he-and Mr.. Barrow, looking
back, decided that there was some
thing wolf-like about that smile.
He conjured up hideous vision of
Mr.. Di Maggie strolling down long
lanes of fodder, antipasto to the right
of him, spaghetti to the left of him,
bread and fried potatoes in front of
MIN, dressed cattle dangling above
him, from November till March. He
saw Mr.. Di Maggie swelling before
his eyes, till he took on all the ap-
pearance of balloon ascension. Sew
eral of Mr.. Barrow's sparse hairs turned
white overnight, for Mr.. Di Maggie,
even in normal surroundings, is one
of the leading ambidextrous eaters of
the American League.
The Yankees have had experience
with this particular peril, similar to
scourge of locusts. Twenty years
ago. their pay roll boasted the name
OF the greatest free-style table d'hote-
wrecker OF his day, Mr.. Ping Bodie,
also of San Francisco. Mr.. Bodie once
undertook to outeat an ostrich at
catchweightS, down in Florida. The
ostrich quit in the 21st round.

Play Golf as Business Men,

THE old rootin', tootin' days when an
open golf tournament was vaude-
vile show are over. The open tour
neys OF today are grim, serious affairs,
and the men who play in them are
serious-minded young gents, who go
about their business as any other
business man would do-to win in q
serious way.
You couldn't find among the top
notchers of today a single one who
paints the town red. They Just can't
do it and keep their nerves steady on
those 4-foot puts. That "hit the mid
die BALI stuff of hangover days is all
washed up, and these modern pros
don't fool with hard likker, nor do
they go in for extensive night-club-
bing. EARLY to bed and early to the
practice tee" is their motto, and they
follow it through the year.
In such a tough competitive game
as big-time golf you can't step on the
first tee with highly developed case
OF Jitters and get anywhere. A couple
missed puts can cost plenty money,
and If the other fellow is making them
and you are missing them, 1t may run
into hundreds of dollars. The boys
figure that a night out isn't worth it..

fact that the Dettweiler girl won't be
entirely without practice when the
women's golf season rolls around next
spring She doesn't need so much, but
any golfer needs little to keep the
swing in the groove, and Helen will

Y you never are to good TO take
" professional advice on the golf

sionals of the land are forever giving
advice to each other, ironing out the
kinks in the swing of their brother

there isn't one of them, from the ma

it will do him some good.
Even John Goodman, the present
national amateur champ, and national
open king in 1888. heeds the advice of

Anticipated Its Needs.

kOH years they've nad under con-
sideration at Woodmont enlarge
ment of the present links facilities,
anticipating the time when present
facilities would become so congested
expansion would be necessary. That
time now has come and the 18-hole
course will become reality next year.
The land for the new layout, west of
the present seventh hole and north
west Of the seventh tee, is being
leased for 10 years from the Town
and Country Club, Inc, a holding
company composed Of Woodmont
members.
Added length will be the main
change in the first nine at Manor
when the new holes are placed in play
next year. The old second hole will
be abandoned as it has played in
past years. So will the present first
green. The new first green will be
the present second, making the OPEN
ing hole a straightaway drive-and-
pitch affair. The third hole will be-
come the second, and the fourth will
become the third, while the new fourth
will be long par to be played to q
new green located away back in q
corner Of the woods behind the present

Stengel's Case Recalled.

I REMEMBER a steak famine in the
neighborhood of Orlando, Fla, a
few years ago, when the Brooklyn
Dodgers were training there under
Casey Stengels management. This
famine was so acute that it hurt Mr..
Stengeps feelings as well as the ball
players. Throwing caution to the
winds, Mr.. Stengel instructed Coach
Chick Fraser to scour the surrounding
country for kline, lean or fat.
Settle for veal, if necessary" he
said.
Luckily the meat train pulled into
town at that juncture, and saved Mr..
Stengel the humiliating experience of
eating veal. But there ought to be a
lesson there for Egbert Barrow and
Michael S. Jacobs. A famine can cut
two ways.

Sarazen Buckles Down.

JUST an example Of how the boys
train for golf. Gene Sarazen
thought he was out Of condition early
last winter, SO he retired to a sani-
tarium. where he spent two weeks in
training. The next week he won a big
open tourney. Not for years has Gene
touched the "redeye," and the other
boys feel the same way about 1t, with
very few exceptions.
Your modern golf pro is a trained
athlete in every sense of the word.
Some OF them even 60 in for light gym
nasium work before the big tourna-
ments to keep their muscles in trim.
They have to keep in tiptop shape If
they are to stand the tournament

of added weight behind her mighty
wallop from the tee, said she expects
to sign up with the Montague man
when she reaches New York a day or
two hence. She is billed to play an
exhibition match with Montague next
Sunday. Others in the match will be
BABE Ruth and Helen Hicks.
La Didrikson shows the effect
of the hard work she put in on
her golf game under the watch
full eye Of Tommy Armour last
summer.
Longer than ever from the tee and
straight as string on all shots, she
is a SO per cent better player than
she has ever been. To give you an
idea, she played Congressional in
n whacks yesterday, an honest 1895,
which isn't so bad for a gal from
the middle tees. Nor bad for man,
either. She had Chesley w. Jurney,
sergeant at arms of the Senate, and
Leslie Biff1e, secretary to the ma
jority, dropping their chins and OH
ing and ahing all over the place at
the power and accuracy OF her shots.
Babe can win some money on the
winter tour with the male pros. She
isn't yet ready to win big golf affair
against good competition, but she
can slip into some of the lower prize
awards If she keeps on improving.
And if improvement can be done by
hard and conscientious work she'll
get there.
OTHER gals may take time off for
dance now and then or some
other form Of amusement. But the
Babe thinks in a straight line.
Golf is her game, and she
spends all her waking hours
and probably some of her sleep
ing hours thinking about it.
When she isn't on the practice tee
she's on the course, putting and chip
ping and knocking those tee shots
out Of sight.
"Say, Babe" we asked, 'how about
this added weight you've put on?
And while we're on the subject, you
certainly look swell, too"
"You know this business Of drink
ing beer has something to it," she
said. "They really have something
there. For years I've tried to put on
weight, and couldn't gain a pound.
But for couple of months now I've
been drinking beer, and you see what's
happened. I'm getting so fat I'll have
to have = caddie tee up my golf ball
