Newsies Tie Up Game In
Third But Fail To Take
The Contest

In a hitting game featured
by five doubles, the Coast Line
softball ten won a thriller by 50
score. Roy Cook and Al Alderman
hurled on equal terms throughout,
both allowing seven blows ard
being hit hard in every inning.
The Railroaders opened the game
with a run in the. first, tailed
three more times in the second,
and added their final and winning
run in the third. The NeWsies
roared back with a furry of four
runs in the third to tie the game
up on three hits and wildness on
Alderman's part. Fer the rest OF
the game neither team could get
runners as far a. third, though
men were on base every inning
ALI fourteen hits were made by
different players, oddly enough.
Leon Thomas, Hewlett, and Ribe-
lin of A. C. L. banged out doubles,
as did also Gieschen and Roy
Cook of the Newsies.
The loss showed the Newsies
deep into the cellar position. Their
records is one win in 9 games.
The Railroaders are in fourth place
with four wins.
Friday afternoon at $50 at Rob-
ert Strange the Newsies meet the
Firemen. 1t will be partial doub-
le-header, with a shortened game
being played first. The Firemen

in the winning run.
Curt Davis; who went to the

Added to the trouble Of getting

Causey has run into more Stun
bling blocks with big Bobby Stew

Since both w-estlers are top
ranking matmen, neither wants to
follow the other on the billing Fri
day night at ITALIAN Hall. Since
they will not listen to reason, the
only way to handle the situation
is to let the boys match for it.
The winner will take the main
event spot and the loser will just
have to like it, says Causey.
This fellow Levy, all 642 pounds

= OF the two, Vardon, who died
in 1897, was the better golfer.
Not only did he set an unequalled
record in winning the British open
six times, but he won the Arlerl-
can open in 1900, in the playoff IN
1913. and finished second to Ray
when the latter won in 1920. A.
that time he was so years old.
Ray and Vardon offered vivid
contrast in styles and persouali-
ties. Ray was huge, lusty man,
rather ungainly and with a golf
style best described as no style
at all. He attacked the ball with
ferocity and somehow managed to
harness his power at the right IN
slant to hit tremendous wood
shots.
Vardon was of placid and Sc
rene temperament, and was the
supreme stylist when it came to
playing the game. He popularlz-
ed the overlapping grip. now
known as the Vardon grip. Before
he proved its merit the practice
was to grasp club as a base
ball bat and let nature and the
ball, take it's course.
His best club was the brassie,
and Britons still maintain he could
put a full brassie shot within five
yards of the cup at any time.
He won more than go first class
tournaments, and the question Of
whether he or Bobby Jones was
the greatest golfer always will be
debated.
The Ouimet-Ray-Vardon playoff
is credited with taking golf out
of the ermine class and spreading
it around a bit for everyone to
enjoy, and that probably is true
as our personal recollection of the
game before that time is hay.

called golf was played.
We remember the avenue par

they had two huge stacks, one

seemed to 60 down at the same

Anyway, our Introduction to the
game came after the first World
War. and we cannot trace it to
the 1913 playoff, although that
may have had something to DO
with the establishing of course
on which we could play.
The game evidently had been
in popularity during the
World War years, and immedi-
ately afterward public courses be-
gan to sprout and the common
folks who work for a living began
to hear of this 6 a m e through
friends, gave it a try, found it
fun, and the panic was on and

the idea of squeezing him into a
shower stall at Thalian Hall would
be like trying 10 put locomotive

The steps leading to the stage at
the hall were never designed to
bear up under such weight, so
they will have to be reinforced.
About the only thing left to do,
it seems, is to build a dressing
room in the lobby Of the hall or
use a tent in the backyard. For a
shower, the nearest length of hose
will suffice. If that is not handy,
Causey plans to send Levy to the
