'
Golf terms, like Jail terms, are very
hard to understand. Here are added a
few more explanations to the collection
already unloaded through this column:
The undef portion of tho clubhead Is the
"solo"; tho part that comes In contact
with the ball is the "face." The end of
the head Is tho "toe" or "nose," and
the part nearest the shaft la tho "heel."
Tho part Vheio the head Joins the shaft
Is th6 "neck." The narrow port where
the head Is glued to the shaft Is the
"scare," and the ,twine binding tho head
and shaft Is the "whipping." The angle
of tho head with shaft Is the "Ho" of -the
club, and tho position of the ball on tho
ground Is the "He" of the ball.
Tho "stance" Is the way one stands
when In position to hit the ball.
"AddrcBslns" the ball Is giving it a
mea'n look before a shot and swinging the
club over it in a threatening way. There
should bo no verbal demonstration.

MANCHESTEH. Vt., July 23.-A. G.
Mcllvaine. of Yale, won the medal for
low score in the qualifying round of the
annual midsummer polf tournament at
Eliwanok Country Club yesterday from
a fast Meld of 75 players. After an in
different start the Yalo golfer reached the
turn in 41 strokes, which promised little
more than qualifying in the first 19.
Cornlnc home, however, he played bril
liantly, and with three threes and six
fours had 33 strokes for the last nine and
a total of 74 for the 18 holes.
W. P, Seeley, Drookllne, and Slaxwell
R. Marston. of Baltusrol, were next In

surprise of the day was tho failure of
Fred Herreshoffe. of. Garden City, to
qualify In tho flrat flight. The far-driving
Garden City goiter was bunkered
from every tee, and after oomlng in with

WAHOO SAM CRAWFORD REAL .
EMPEROR OF SLUGGING DOMAIN
By GRANTLAND RICE
The Record '
I met a bloke the other day,
A most unusual, chop,
Who hart no dope to launch upon
The European scrap;
And I've met loomeii here and thero
A tew, I toll! coness
Who scorned the Servant Question
And who balked at talking "dress";
But just a day oiiso ago
These records all went lame
rnef a poller who-rejused
To talk about Ms game.
, The Premier Slugger
Dear Blr I noticed what you had to say
the other day about Saler hitting for
nioro extra bases than Sam Crawford.
Saler Is a grand ball player, but when it
cornea to crowning the old pill Wahoo
Sam Is far in advance. I have seen him
lino out many a drive here In Chicago
which tho Whlto Sox right fielder has
gathered In against the wall which. If
Bald drlvo had headed the same way in
Cub park, would have put a dent In the
signboard and counted for four bags. My
humblo opinion is that If the Tigers
played 73 games a year on tho West Side
In Chicago a new record for home runs
would be established. How about It?
CUB FAN.
Cobb's Opinion
Colonel T. Raymond Cobb agrees with
"Cub Fan." "If Sam Crawford." says
Ty, "was batting In National L,eaguo
parks such short parks as those at Bos
ton, Philadelphia and ChlcagoHio would
smash all home run records and set a now
mark for extra bases never dreamed of.
There Isn't a short park in the American
League, while the Jfatlonal, I know, has
at least four. This Is where Cravoth and
Saler have a big advantage over Sam or
any other American League slugger when
It comes to extra bases. If Crawford
played 77 home games at Philadelphia or
Boston In the National League his mark
would be over .420 sure."
Conservative
I'll plunge on war stocks right and lejt
Against the Street's" intrigue,
But I wouldn't wager seventeen cents
On the race in the National League.
Crawford and King
Crawford Is undoubtedly the ilugging
emperor of the game. In the course of the
last nine years a good healthy test he
has hammered out 765 extra bases. For
nine years Magee. of the Braves, Is sec
ond, with 653 extra base blows, Cobb
standing third, with 683. Crawford'B aver
age mark for a year Is 5 extra bases,
Cravath Is. second, with 83. Frank Baker
ran third until the Trappa plowman de
sorted the ball yard for a frollo In the

Last' season Fritz Malsel led tho Amer

This seasori Fritz had It figured out that
If ho could bat nbove ,300 he woutd be ten
Jumps beyond tho next bloke In Bight.
But the dope slipped a cog for Fritz,

decided to lead the league himself. So
far Fritz has stolen 43 bases but he In

with 65. Malsel has a good chance of
beating his 19l mark. But Cobb needs

There Is Balrd, of the Pirates, and Lo
bert, of the Gants. There Is Vltt, of tho
Tigers, and Groh, of the Reds. There is
Gardner, ot the Red Sox.
But for dll-around value Fritz Malsel
Is now the leading third baseman of tho
game. Fritz Is a first-class Inflelder. He
s the fastest of the lot next to the fast
est man In baseball. He Is batting only
ft,shade,belpw-.,3ipi,And has stolen close
upon SO bases second only to Cobb. He
Is a flno run-getter and one of the great
hustlers of the game a .hustler through
every minute of tho battle. "If Malsel
was on my club," remarked Hughey Jen
nings, "where he could work In with
Crawford and Cobb, ho would bat .330 and
score almost half again as many runs."
Fritz la only In his second year and Is
coming faster every day. Ho Is one of
the few stars playing third almost the
only one.
Sayings of Great Men
By Old Tom Jenkins.
"There ain't no holt tha't can't bo

Eastern lawn, tennis players will make
a last hard stand against the California
stars Invading Eaitern soil. But there are
some things that not even the law of
gravity can control. The East has Its
margin In golf, but In lawn tennis the
West Is anchored where it lives.

Authorities. '
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. July .-Harvard
Is planning to drop Cornell In crew and
substitute' Princeton. This Is the report
from semiofficial circles, and the matter
la to be. taken up officially at one of the
fall meetings of the Harvard Athletic
Committee,
Harvard haa found the trip to Jthaoa,
too tiresome a Journey, and last spring's
viotory over Courtney'a crew affords
them an opportunity to withdraw honor
ably and gracefully.
Another new move In Harvard crew
affairs will be depriving the captain of his
present great power In rowing and put
ting the sport under a graduate commit
tee. Wray'a coaching will also be more
closely watohed by this committee.

GAINER NOT LEMON
AS RACING GELDING
H. P. Whitney Purchased Ani
mal for $12,500 Last Year.
At First Was Off Form.
Jimmy Bowo evidently did not make
any mistake of Judgment when he rec
ommended .to Har,ry Payne Whitney the
purchase of Gainer ot public auction for
J12.500 last year. Of course, Gainer didn't
pan out right after that, and tt took
a lot of patience on Howe's part and
on that of Jimmy Owens to make
Gainer perform to expectations. At one
time since hq was destined to be a
steeplechaser.
As a 3-year-old, after the Whitney pur
chase, the gelding performed like the
veriest lemon. It began to look as If the
terms of the sale didn't Includo the pre
scription. Not until this season did Gainer begin
to show the form that Justified the price
paid for him. Within a short space of a
couple of weeks this year he has won the
Bronxvllle Handicap and the Empire
City Handicap. In the latter event- he
won In a gallop, beating off the redoubt
able Roamer. surprising a lot of folk
who thought him a 10 to J shot
Gainer won like a real good horse,
like the horse he was an a tws-year-old,
when Roamer, Punch Bowl and all the
retf of the good juveniles didn't dare to
give him weight. Gainer was a good racer
then, and evidently he has come back
to that form. From now on it will take
a better horse than Roamer to beat him
over the handicap distance at anything
like the weight assignments of the Em
pire City Handicap.

RIXEY WILL OPPOSE
HUB PERDUE TODAY
IN PHIL-CARD FRAY
St. Louis Fans' Hopes Are
Revived by the Defeat of
Alexander H u g g i n s
Took Big Chance When
He Chose Doak.
ST. LOUIS, July l.-The defeat ot
Alexander the Great by the Cardinals
revived the pennant hopes of the local
fans., and though the Cardinals are far
In the rear as the result of the poor
Eastern trip, the general opinion Is that
Hugglrts' team Is due to start a win
ning streak on the home field. Hugglns
took a desperate chance sending Willie
Doak against Alexander, but he realised
that Doak was the only Cardinal twlrler
with a chance for victory.
A victory for the Phillies over Doak
yesterday would have completely upset
the Cordlpats, but the defeat of, the king
of pitchers gives Hugglns' team a great
advantage. Today either ''Hub'" Perdue.
wTio has shown a return to form, or t,ee
Meadows will faco the league leaders,
With Alexander out of the way, Hugglns
believes that tho confidence of the Phil
lies has been shaken, and ho expects to
take three out of four.
Eppo Rtxey will face the Cardinals this
afternoon. Rtxey haa been pitching
splendid ball of late, and as the Cardi
nals never have been able to do much
with the giant southpaw. Manager Moran
thinks the Phils will even up the series
'today;
