Pickings From Ihe Letter Hack
Sandy McNIbllck I am a beginner and
play at Cobb's creek. It strikes me that
this publlo course Is too hard. I know
I have my hands full with It and there
are plenty of others In the same boat A
follow like myself nover gets a look at
the course. Wo are always playing from
the rough and tho places whero tho Park
Commission had no idea, a person would
over go. It soems to mo that a, lot of the
rough grass should be trimmed and a lot
of tho other "rough places made smooth."
I have lost so many balls and have worked
so hard without results that I am be
ginning to get discouraged.
West Philadelphia I. ZOLLINGER.
No course Is worth whllo unless It has
some dlmcultlcs, and a hard course Is tho
best placo to learn ono's game. The be
ginner gets ln no careless habits and has
to play for all he's worth. A straight game
Is not handicapped unreasonably at Cobb's
Creek S McN.
Sandy McNIbllck I hear folks talk about
honor in golf, tho proper lie, and things
line mat will ou please explain what
these torms mean? A BEGINNER.
Philadelphia, Pa
The word "honor" In golf refers to the
right to drle off first from the tee. Tho
player ha3 the honor who won the last
hole which was won A "proper He" Is a
good position of tho ball for a neat stroke,

JOHN MACKLIN Is through with footbnll
Tho man who put tho Mlchlgnn Asglea
on the gridiron mnp -nnd kept them there
. for live straight years
wandered Into our
office yesterday with
tho Had tldlncs that
from now on the fall
pastime would bo the
least of his troubles
His coaching days nre
over, nnd In the future
he will bo a regular
business man, with a
stenographer, offices
and overythlng Ho Is
about to follow the
trail blazed by BUI
tTnllnnriinlj' nnfl RAll
tf Q 15" coal to the Doar Old
n W MAXWELL public, whether It
needs it or not,
Tho passing of John Macklin removes
from football one ot the most conspicuous
figures For seven years over since ha
took a firm hold on his diploma and left
rnn ho has occunled the centre of the
stage with the spotlight constantly playing
around him Mo turned out wuiiuenui
teams and had a chance to contlnuo for
years to come had not the call to business
Interefercd. Seeral big colleges In the
West made tempting offers, but he refused
them with a firm, strong voice Duty called
him, and It was up to him to prevent the
citizens of these United States from freez
ing to death.
Ployed on Penn
Mncklln played on tho Unl.erslty of
Pennsylvania football team under Dr Bob
Torrey and Carl Williams, but did not set
the world on lire by his wonderful work
He started out as a halfback, but enormous
stature was needed In tho line, so he was
shifted to tackle and guard Ills name ap
peared in tho line-up each week, and occa
sionally, when news was dull, somebody
would run his picture ln the papor He
played a Btendy, consistent game, however,
and did all of tho heavy work while the
others pulled tho brilliant performances
But It was after he left Penn that John
made his reputation. He coached Pawling
School In 1909 apd 1910, nnd his work at
tracted the big guys at Michigan Agricul
tural College, in Lansing Macklin was
offered the Job and he grabbed It, reporting
for duty In September, 1911 Up to thU
time the Aggies had the same social stand
ng as Hiram College, Ohio, and were used
is doormats by the unuersity ot micnigan
and other colleges In that section In prac
tice games. No one gae the team any
serious thought, and it was bumping along
in the same old rut made years before.
New Spirit Instilled
A now spirit was InBtllled when the big
coach arrived. He called his football
squad together and told tho eleen men
that small college teams occasionally win
games and he was going to prove it Then
he assigned the men to their positions and
began tho season with one full team and no
substitutes Macklin was successful in the
early games, but Michigan trimmed him
by the score of 15 to 6. Lack of substi
tutes caused this defeat, but It revived the
spirit at the Agricultural College and the
next year a larger squad reported
The team made a better showing in 1912,
but again lost to Michigan, but by a
smaller score. The players began to ab
sorb the old Pennsylvania system, however,
nd went through tho remainder of the
season with flying colors.
Wa all remember tho fall of J913 when
Macklln's team surprised the entire football
world and gained recognition by walloping
Michigan by a huge, score, vIt was one of
the biggest upsets In yearsVand the wise
dopesters vainly tried to discover1 how the
fluke victory was put across. But the team
went on, scoring victory after victory, and
they gave It up as a hopeless (ask.
Defeats Wisconsin
That year tho University of Wisconsin
won the Western. Conference champion
ship and the team was considered the best
in the country. Elated by the victories
of their own college, alumni of the Michigan
Aggies disputed the claim, and a game was
arranged. The Badgers were the heavy
favorites, but Johns team won after a
struggle 'rue next year. Mirhumn
triumphed) over the Ai-gjea by the, slender
margin of 3 to 0, but Penn State was van
quished Lnst year Yoit's men lost by the
score of 24 to 0.
Dutch'Somer will do the coaching for the
Aggies next fall.
Macklin also coached tho baseball, track
and baskotball teams and met with wonder
ful success His baseball team won many
gnmes from Michigan, tho principal rival,
and trlumphod over the big Ohio colleges
and Syracuse,
John will don a pair of overalls In a
couple of weeks and go to Calver, Pa ,
whero ho will work ln tho mines Ho was
offered a position In the oflleo of the J. H
Wenvor Coal Co, but spurned it, because
he desired to learn the business from tho
ground up or down, whatever It Is His
ofTlclnl title is Assistant to the President,
but ho will not work at It until he knows
something about coaching the new game.
School for Coaches
Dick Harlow, football coach at Penn
State, and BUI Martin, track coach, have
turned professors for tho summer and will
deliver lectures at a summer school for
athletic coaches at State College beginning
next month. Professors Harlow and Mar
tin will give dally talks and a largo
number of prep school athletic directors
have enrolled to learn some ot the new
dope.
This course was tried out at the Untvor
slty of Wisconsin last summer and was
highly successful The students were
taught the rudiments ot football and the
proper methods of teaching, something that
has been Badly needed ln the high schools.
Penn State is the f.rst college In the East
to take It up, and no doubt others will
follow In tho near future.

FOSTER'S NO-HIT
GAME IS 18TH IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Average of Hitless Perform
ances Is One a Year in
Each Major Circuit
George Foster's feat of holding the
Yankees hitless In Boston yesterday was
the eighteenth no hit game pitched in the
American 'League since Its organization, ln
1900 More than tuo years elapsed since
tho last no hit game as twirled In Ban
Johnson's league, Joe Benz, of the Chicago
White Sox, pitching it against Cleveland, on
May 31, 1914.
In the National League, there have been
10 no hit games In the 40 years of Its ca
reer, the )ast one also being by a Boston
pitcher, Tom Hughes, 2d, of the Braves,
who held tho Pirates hitless only last
week, on June 16 That a no-hlt game is
a raro performance may be noted from the
fact thatMn both National and American
Leagues they have averaged only one a
year
Several pitchers have had the misfortune
of holding bpposlng teams without a hit in
nine innings, only to yield hits later on
and be deprived of places in the No-hlt Hall
of Fame. Among such performers In the
last decade are Leon Ames, formerly on the
Giants; Harry Mclntyre, formerly of Brook
lyn, and Jim Scott, of the White Sox.
It is interesting to note that neither
Walter Johnson nor Grover Alexander, the
present pitching princes of the two major
leagues, has pitched a no hit game, though
Johnson has been with Washington since
1907 and Alexander with the Phillies since
1911.
