SPEAKER KEEPS WELL
DAVY ROBERTSON DROPS TO .335
i
Daubert Loses Ground,
but Hornsby Advances
From .315 to .823
Tho Chicago Cuba' pitchers treated Davy
Itohcrtson very rudely In the recent series
with tho Olantrt. and the result wan that out
of 19 times at bat Davy made only two
nits, 'i mis slip was very costly to tho
ambitious llavy. and while he still leads tho
batsmen, ho dropped to .336, a loss of 13
points In one week. At the same ttmo,
however, Jako Daubcrt, hs nearest rival,
failed to take advantage of Davy's slump,
losing twn polnti and dronnlnc to .329.
Hogcr Hornsby, tho sensational Inficlder
incited up by Miller HUKRtns. camo for
ward with plenty of speed and advanced his
niarK to a .323. a gain of eight points.
This atlvanco enabled tho Cardinals to
pass both Wag-hcr and Long and to climb
within a. few notches of tho lead. This Is
Hornsby's first year' In tho big league, and
another slump by Hobertson and Daubert to
llkoly to cost tholm their present positions
and witness the elevation ot the recruit to
tho top.
The three Phllllo leaders virtually held
their own. Whined dropped from .293 to
.291 and 1'nskcrt and Stock went nlnng at
nn oven pace. Uancroft was the only mem
ber of the Qunltcrs to mako nny notlccnble
move upward, tho diminutive shortstop
climbing from .173 to .130.
Tfelter heads the pitchers, but Alex's 21
out of 29 keeps him right near tho top.
Illxcy has won 13 out of IS.
Mamaux lias been beaten Beven times.
whllo ho has cashed In 16 victories.

'REDDY' ROBERTS, TINY GOLFER,
SCALPS 'BIG CHIEF' BENDER
WITH DEADLY LINKS SHOTS
Shoots an 84 at Cobb's
Creek to the 88 of His
Giant Opponent
Bala Ends
By SANDY McNIBLICK
EIGHTV-TWO pounds of Amerlcnn youth
went out on tho troll of a full-blooded
200-pound Chlppfyva Indian, nt Cobb's Creek
and Just naturally scalped tha biff rcdman
by a marifin of five strokes on tho golf
course.
Today "neddy" Roberts, a tiny, freckle
faced, tow-hended golfer, sticks out his boy
ish bosom and tells anyone that wants to
know how ho trimmed "BIr Chief" Bender
yesterday, over tho publlo course, when he
shot an 84 to the "Chlefn" 88.
"I was bIx under lives," piped "Reddy" In
Ills soprano voice, " 'n I guess the pace was
a ll'l too hot fer the old .'Chief.' "
"Ueddy" Is actually about half a hend
taller than his driver. It's an old grass
blackened bludgeon, and "Reddy" has to
take a mean grip op Its middle to hold It In
lino when he Bwlngs Into tha ball, But ho
has tho exact form of tho expert pro, the
stance, the tiny over-the-ball waggle, nnd
tho shot-timing that maka for distance.
Ills ball flies away on a. Una that Is re
markable for a kid who does not look as If
he could knock a ball off the tee.
Ills bag Is an old ragged canvas thing
that was given to him by a player, the same
as were the clubs he uses.
His Tool Kit
"Red" has three of these his driver and
two Irons. lis has a maahlo and a cleek.
They're rusty, they're old and they're tat
tered, "But they do tha bis, so why should I
worryl" asks "Red," as ho cuts his ball
right up to the pin.
"Chief" had to whistle every now and
then as ha tried to Blip up a shot and then
watched his midget opponent bend Into one
that sailed up Ilka a bird to tha pin.
Tha Indian's brown face widened Into a
great big grin whenever ha was lucky
enough to win a hole.
AH the time "Reddy" Just played his shots
unconcernedly, picked, up his tattered bag,
hitched up tha trousers which were almost
voluminous enough to have fitted a certain
sporting editor ot parts, and sidled along to
Jook way up at the "Chief." up to whose
waist ha nearly reached. The best thing
about "Reddy," aside from his golf, was his
golf outllt.
His red hair was covered by a big cap,
pulled down almost over hla freckled nose.
The trousers he wore wera In the natura of
pants and vest combined, for they reached
way ud nearly to his armnlts. In tha
pockets were 24 golf balls, for ballast. A

of space to move around in.
Caddies Incidentally
"Reddy" coddles at Whltemorsh most of
the time when ho is not scalping Indians
nnd other wild bo! fens. Ho caddies for
Bender every chance he gets. Yesterday tha
giant baseball pitcher, trapshooter, billiard
player and all-around athleta gavo "Reddy"
a chance to show how well he could play.
"I showe'I him the good, I did," piped
"Reddy." "H had me two down on holes,
but he couldn t stay with me on tha medal."
Today Is tin- last day of tho blue-ribbon
Bala annual.tnvltatlon tourney, and all hands
have long -slnca voted this the most success
ful of the four tourneys held so far.
The only tiling to mar the whole meet
ing was tho misfortune that happened to
John C. McAvoy. resident of tho Bala Golf
Club, when he fell from a bicycle ha was
riding, and broke his arm It Is feared. Tha
brake locked and he was thrown on his
shoulder very heavily. Only a lucky frac
tion prevented, him from being thrown head
on into a treo.
But the only time the otherwise cheer
ful "Prexy" frowns Is when he thinks of
the worst thing it will mean to him.
"No mora golf for seven weeks," ha
groans. "Savon weeks, Jubt think of It,"
Then ha twists his Injured wing to see
if It isn't r-sally all right after all. and
yells right cut when he finds It certainly
it not !
Charllo Iloffner, rhllmont'a wizard pro,
was among the gallery that followed tha
20-holf match of his amateur brother,
George Hoffner, and Edward Clarey.

standing of theso men under the rules of
tho A. A. U. ,
This condition has Bent both clubrf out
after material nnd they both fared very
well, with A'lctrlx probably having a llttlo
tho hotter of It.
Shnnahan has a host of stars on its list,
Frank Dorsoy, Penn's next yenr's captain,
nnd Eddie Mechan. a local hoy and student
of Notro Dame University, being two of
Its prominent runners.
Tho Vlctrlx Club nlso has a few local
schoolboys nnd collego mon wearing Its
colors, Tom Dougherty, Eddlo Brennan,
Glllam nnd others will sport tho Vlctrlx
emblem.
A. A. U. Championships
All tho athletic clubs In the Itlddlo Atlan
tic district nre out getting rendy for their

trict has stnged for many years both for
tho number of contestants and for tho cali
ber of men who aro to represent their re
spective clubs.
Gcrmantown Boys' Club will put a team
out which will be a well-balanced bunch.
Samuel J. Dallas and Jimmy Currnn, of tho
Meadow-brook Club, have not been asleep,
however, nnd will have n hunch which nro
out for the highest honors and will not ba
denied without a hnrd struggle.
Mcadowbrook added Izzie Houch to Its
1st of stars recently nnd In him the club

EVANS UNABLE TO OVERCOME
HIS ONE WEAKNESS PUTTING
By GRANTLAND KICE
TUB Gentlemanly Duffer reported with
tho announccmnet that ho had a number
of Questions to nek,
"Flro nway," we remarked.
"Tell me this," he said, "Chick Evans has
practiced putting for hours, days, weeks,
months and years at a time. Yet putting
has been tho weakest part of his game.
He never has practiced driving 10 minutes,
he says, yet lie la a most accurate driver
nnd a long hitter. Why Is It, If prac
tice means so much as every one advises,
that Evans Isn't a wonderful putter nnd
a poor driver?"
vVhllo wo were pondering this complex
quory tho Gentlemanly Duffer Interjected
with this:
"You might answer these two ruierles
together. Here Is the other: Of lalo years
Jerry Travcrs has Rpcnt more ttmo work
ing his drive than anything else. He hns
given no great ttmo to putting. Yet he
Is still n wonderful putter and a some
what crrntlo driver. What, If nny, is tho
nnswer?"
Knack nnd Practice
The answer Is that Individual problems
In golf aro beyond our earnest range.
Evans 'picked up tho knack of driving
when ho was a kid. had confidence In
his stroke, and so required no practice.
On tho other hand, Evans stnrtcd put
ting on slow greens with a mldlron, lost
his confidence when he hit fast greens
and had to uso a putter, nnd constnnt
practice failed to help because his trou
ble was psychological, not physical.
Travers learned to putt early, devel
oped confidence with, this club, and so
had no mental worries attached when ho
picked It up.
Ho developed a bad fault of changing his
swing, shoulder high In driving, lost his
confidence In tho driver, nnd this worked
against his success from the tee.
For the Averages
Golf problems must be worked out for

One of tho best professional golfers we
know of never practiced 10 minutes In
his life that Is, actual practice not In
volved In playing around. Ho picked up
tho game when a ktd In Scotland, so hla
case Is not ono to follow.
Confidence and Such
"Judging from the above," continued the
Gentlemanly Duffer, "you would say that
confidence In a club Is a big part of the
game. Then explain this I, nnd many oth
era that I know, have gono out frequently
when we had full confidence In our game
nnd were sure of good scorea Yet we
played miserably. On other days wo have
gone out when wo had no confidence In any
club, yet everything seemed to be easy and
each shot camo off much bettor than our
normal gamo. 'Why Is that!'"
We began to have a brief, but strong In
ward hunch that our afternoon was going
to be a total loss.
Wo had only this answer: Confidence In a
club counts on the nverage, not for Indi
vidual Instances. Golf, more than any
other game, Is n matter of one day's or orje
week's mental nttltude. Of a sudden, for np
apparent reason, one Is off. Why? The
player Is In good health, has been playing
good golf, conditions aro all favorable and
yet he can't hit a shot. Why again? Be
cause his mentnl attitude for tho day Is' all
awry, out of gear or out of focus. There
is no co-ordination between his mind and
his muscle. An old Don Marquts has Bald,
"Mind Is superior to matter when there is
nothing tho matter."
But If the proper co-ordination between
brain nnd musclo Is lacking, no living man
can haul It together again under fire.
