A0.-Jim Ferrier, the Australian

brought out an important point di-
rectly connected with the killing
pace golf pros set today.
Il had no idea," he said, that
any one could practice that long

I ever expected to see hit in two

this with natural skill and natural

golfers follow. They break no rules

not?

Grudees, Lozy Habits
Won't Go With Frisch.

Old feuds, grudges and lazy habits
made the task almost impossible
for Pie Traynor, even If Pie had
been stronger on the inspirational
stuff. But the players have no
habits or ready-made attitude in
relation to Frisch, and Frisch, at
more than 40, still is full of fire.
I remember a trivial occurrence
at the World Series last fall which
illustrated Frankie's feeling about
baseball and ballplayers.
1t was in Cincinnati, in the fourth
game of a series that had been
consistently miserable for Harry
Craft, the Reds center fielder. Craft
couldn't do anything right. He
would trudge to the plate, strike
out, and trudge back to the dugout,
his shoulders dropping more every
time. The Yankees did not conceal
their scorn for his performance,
and even questioned his nerve,
though most of the ballplayers
knew that Craft had not been feel
ing we'll for some time.
In this game, after a couple Of
more strikeouts, Craft withdrew
voluntarily, and the voice of the
loudspeaker told the crowd:
Graft is leaving the game be-
cause of stomach trouble"

His infield is about the best in

Waners of old, but they still can
play baseball, and with them In the
outfield are John Rizzo and pair
of humping recruits, Bob Elliott
and Maurice Van Robays.
Ray Berres is smooth and COM
petent catcher. Spud Davis, his re-
placement, is hitter and a shrewd
hand with certain pitchers. The
pitchers are Frisch's worry and the
stuff is there, if he can mine it out.
Bauers, Butcher, Mace Brown,
Klinger, Sewell, Heintzelman, john
ny Gee and two men imported by
Frisch from Boston. where he
studied them last year, John Lam
ming and Danny MacFayden-com-

Frisch now goes to a club where
stomach trouble, more synthetic
than Crafts, often pops up. In
fact, the Pirates have been referred
to as team of stomach aches and
hangovers. And that is something
Frisch won't take. Maybe his at

players of promise, but the players
