tTMIOSI two victories won by the Whlto Sox Saturday mako tJio Windy City
club-loolc much better In tlio b.ittlo wltli the lted J hue for tho league leader
ship, lio.iton'n extra-Inning victory over Cleveland helped tho Kasterners, but
that doublo win ohoved tho Itowliind crowd a notch further In tho front.
Chicago Is playing good baseball those days, nlthough luck jilayn an- Important
part In their work. In tho first gamo Saturday Klmor Myers presented them
with n flying start and they remained In front until tho end. Tho Sox profited
by tho mistakes of tho Athletics, which Is perfectly proper, nnd turned thoso mis
takes Into porfectly Rood tallies. However, they hit tho ball hard and timely
and guvo evidences of championship class.
Tho schedule Is ngnlnst tho Chicago club this year. After a series In Wash
ington, tho team returns homo to play for n couplo of weeks and then another
swing of tho c'rcult will bo mndo. They will play away from homo during tho
last month of tho season nnd unless they have n lead of llvo or six Karnes when
thoy start, tho lied Sox will luivo a decided advantage. Cleveland. Detroit and
possibly St. Louis will bo stumbling blocks nnd ,thefo clubs always play well on
tho homo grounds. Itlpht now Iioston has the hardest Job, as Cleveland and De
troit wilt bo entertained whlto Chicago Is meeting tho A's and "Washington. Tho
Trcstornors should mako considerable hay In tho next week unless tho club slumps,
s Is usually tho cafo when weak teams arc piny id.
Clarcnco Ron land nnd his men nro confident of victory, but their spit It Is
nothing boastful or braggadorlan. They mo merely renting In a conlldenco that
they havo tho ability to deliver tho goods. If the pitchers can deliver a con
sistently good brand of wares, tho plajers bellcvo that tho llag will Uoat over Mr.
Comlskey'a park and Chicago will hoe a world's series.
rpHE Whlto Sox won two gams in Iioston nfter a poor start and tho
- thrco from tho Athletics started them on a winning htrcak, which they
hopo to contlnuo until they Itavo for home. Today they again clash
with tho Athletics, while Cleveland plays in Iioston.
Walter Johnson to UcSold by Washington, Is Latest Rumor
ACCORDING to n story penned In Washington, Walter Johnson will bo placed
J on tho open market at the end of tho season nnd sold to tho highest bidder.
It Is contended that tho Washington club Is bound to lose money before the cur
tain drops In October and additional coin of tho realm Is needed to pay some of
tho expenses. Tho baseball park Is not frco from encumbrances nnd with salaries
and notes to bo paid, tho stockholders nro likely to bo assessed qulto heavily.
But hero Is tho story. Take a. look:
"Thero is but one solution to tho wholo business. Walter Johnson, If placed on
tho open market, would bring a fancy juice. Strange as It may seem, Johnson Is
not Washington's winning pitcher this season, although he Is still a great drawing
card and capablo of pitching lino ball for several years to come. Tho Washing
ton club needs tho money. Johnson con be spared, and tho tip is out th.at he is to
bo sold.
"Mannger Clark GrIIllth denies this report, but that Is to bo expected. Grif
fith Is a, heavy stockholder In tho Washington ball club. IIo would bd tho first
to suggest tho sulo of Johnson if it camo to a question of meeting flnanclul
obligations.
"If Johnson is to bo sold thero is every reason to bollevo that Jim Dunn, of
Cleveland, stands as good a chance of getting him as, If not bolter than, any club
owner In tho American League. Dunn and Griff arc warm friends. Tho Old
Fox often has said that any time ho had a chanco to do Dunn a favor ho would
not hesitate. Also Griff has placed himself on record with tho statement that
nccr would ho sell ono of his star plajer to a club llko tho Whlto Sox or lted
Box teams that uppear on paper us tho strongest in tho Johnsonian circuit.
rpiinilirs a flno chanco for Cleveland to get Walter Johnson not
1 J- this season, but perhaps next year. Tho big fellow would look
mighty sweet In a. Cleveland uniform."
Americans Arc Just Learning to Play
AMERICANS for very many years were content to sec others play their games,
Xibut not any more. In fact, tho only sport where tho red-blooded American Is
Willing that the other fellows should do nil tho work while ho looks on Is boxing.
IIo would rather see sotno other fellow get a punching. Tho usual afternoon of tho
avfctago American live years ago was totako a tinln or trolley to the ball park nnd
It through tho afternoon watching the ball players peiform. Hut whero Is ho
today, or any other afternoon'.' 'No; ho Is not at tho ball park. Cut If you will go
out to any of tho numerous golf links In nnd nround the city of Philadelphia you
will llnd him busy doing his own exercising and getting moro real enjoyment
out of it than In thu old days when ho watched tho baseball men perform.
In other words, tho nveragb Anin lean and there nio humheds of thousands of
him would rather do his own playing. IIo has gono back to his boyhood days.
Did you ever watch a bunch of boys? Did you ever notice any of them watching
tho others play? Not for u minute. Uojs mo not built that way. They must bo
right In tho play, whether it is baseball, swimming, football, prisoner's baso or
whatever tho form of sport right at hand may be. No boy makes a good spectator.
Ho wants to bo right in tho center of things. And tho men of today arc Just
beginning to realize that tho gieatest fun In tho woild ls,dolng things, rather than
watching others. Perhaps tho baseball men may not admit that baseball attend
ance has been hurt, but If they nro honest nnd frank about it they will tell you
that tho two things that havo dono moat to cut down attendanco at ball paiks
throughout tho country are golf and the motorcar.
A MAN can Jump Into his motorcar and in less than thirty minutes ho can
" bo out on tho links getting a breath of fresh air and cxerciso thnt ho
knows is boneilcial. And tho chap who docs not own n motorcar and can
not afford to belong to tho private clubs can leave the center of tho city and
in half an hour ho can bo playing on Cobb's Creek nnd having tho tlmo of
his life. Golf expensive? Not a bit of It. Ask dad, ho knows.
Now the Argument Starts; We Call It a Draw
cUlucn was tl10 brainier plajer," writes A Steady Reader. "Barry or Collins,
' when they played on tho Athletics? This excludes batting nnd bnso running
but means Just brain In engineering plays and their value to tho team."
This Is sotno question to answer, so wo put it up to Tris Speaker when ho was
hero last week.
"I'll pass," said Trls. "Of course, Colllns's batting keeps him in tho limelight,
but when it comes to a question of brains, you never saw two players moro alike.
I can't answer tho question cither way."
Connlo Mack was next approached nnd, after studying a moment, declared
It a draw. Members of tho Athletic? team say that ono Is as good as tho other,
so thero you aro. The best way to decide is to match pennies or pull straws. Each
man has hU admirers and it will take a lot of arguing to settlo tho question cither
way.
One-Armed Player Leads League Up in Maine
'TOST becauso ho has ono arm doesn't handicap this lad a bit. Ills name Is
J Charles Foley and tho way ho swings n baseball bat and handles tho high
ones in tho outfield Is a sight, according to fans who havo watched Mlm. Foley
plays with tho South Windham (Mo.) team and Is tho leading hitter of tho club.
After losing his right arm In a trolley accident, Foley took up baseball. Ho has
nn average of .428 and is an excellent fielder. In addition to basoball, ho Is a ten.
second man, plays basketball and football.
Higgins Running Well Over Mile Course
TOE HIGGINS, tho national COO-yard indoor champion, has run two corking
W races at a milo recently and. It is predicted that ho will shortly beat four
minutes and twenty seconds. However, if he does, Hlgglns will havo to run much
faster than ho did In either tho Mayo mile or in tho struggle for tho Conollan
trophy. In the Mayo race ho was second In a fraction over 4:25, his time being not
bettor than 4:27. Then In tho Conellnn mllo ho won In somothlng over 4:27. ' In
both races he virtually was all out at the finish.
Al Demaree Is Real Lucky Bird
A li DEMAREE must feel very badly about going back to the Giants. He was with
A them while they won throe National League pennants, left, them to divide a
little world's scries money here, nnd now ho returns to Now York Just In time to
add a llttla something to his bank account this autumn. Al cannot smoko any
moro cigars unfess ho gives up part of his sleeping time, but ho now will bo ablo
to Increase tho cost per smoko.
Mitchell Injecting Young Blood in Cubs
TpETfJ KILDUFF'S transfer to tho Cubs indicates that Fred Mitchell realizes
fhat ho must build up his Chicago team with young blood. Groh and Stock
did not. I'lay their best until McGraw traded them and they had a chanco to get
' Into games regularly. It may bo that Kilduff also will show wonderful improve
ment. .

i Jy'TJUCJ GRIFFIN, the rookie first baseman sold by Lincoln to Connio Mack, has
-, 5jTcen shipped on to the big league club while his record Is still good. He

UPLAND'S VICTORY
TIIKRIJ aro 431 golf clubs In tho United

Of the 4Ct clubs, 102 are active members,
and theso control tho situation so far as

ittOW TO PLAY GOLF-
JCnartes (Cfiidc) Evans Jr.
T went out yesterday to play the course
In the best of spirits. Started out to
play eighteen holes; got a ejy poor start
and felt very much discouraged, but as I
look back over tho golf of that round I
remember one thing after starting" poorlv
I said to myself
that I would for
get tho bad holes
and try to make
up for them on
tha ones to follow
Bven though I had
some mofo bad
holes I had this
thought In mind,
and lo and behold!
I was around in 73
with three" sixes 1"
"One should
never get sulky on
a golf course, but
try all the time.
The worst of all
things Is to keep
regretting a short
putt missed on a
nrevlous hnlo. Th
matches lost by permitting such a frame
of mind could hardly be counted. The
thing to remember is to do one'B best at
all times."
'Today I learned In playing my full long
Iron shots that if I gave a quick blow
when playing Into the wind the result was
very satisfactory. By a quick blow I
mean to snap the clubhead through the ball
sharply. With this In mind I try to think
of a strong, firm and straight descent of
the clubhead, I found also that I was
standing a little too close to the ball, and
I remembered the Idea of distance was to
be governed by the lie of the clubhead,
the left knee being braced In the follow
through. I remembered particularly to
keep my eye on the ball a little thing that
must never be forgotten."
"The moat Important thing I learned in
DUttlnsT today was to keen mv tvs nn

speech, but It really seems to be descriptive
of the net. When one hits a ball squarely
ii wtra as it too ciUD-nead takes tho
contact with perfect rhythm, going right on
Instead of stopping when tho objects meet
In other words, tho force of the blow when
properly struck nppears to condense Itself
Into a nrm body passing directly through
the object struck Instead of being diverged
weakened and evaporated to various points
In Its circumference. , Perseverance In ac
quiring a good stroke Wilt surely result In
a feeling that the clubhead has been "sent
through." It Is really a feeling of nccuracy
whoreas In the wrong sort of stroke there Is
a sense of Ineffectual weakness, borne out
only too surely by results. Your strencth
tun Mfdi DVUUCI CUt
Pages from my Journal are not neces
sarily In sequence, for any description of
a day s practice can he tnken up anywhere
to tdvantage. Tho writing each day Is a
short resume of one day's discouragements
and triumphs, a mention of mistakes' that
led to undoing, short cuts to achievement
and thoughts upon the dally practice and
Improvement or lack of It. I find helpful
hints In any sheet of my Journal I chance to
pick up and I hopo my readers may do
likewise. Every one of us has a bad habit
of falling Into unwitting mistakes! our game
suddenly goes wrong and wo cannot dls
cover the reason why. Sometimes a profes
slonol can set' us right, but often wo are
forced to work out our own salvation in
my own case I have found a glance through
the pages of my diary, where dally mis
takes nnd their corrective means have been
set forth, a very certain help in time of
trouble. '
For Instnnce, I learn that on some par
tlcular day my Iron shots went wrong and
by repeated effort I was feble to rhjht them
Those methods today may bo the very thing
I want. There Is, of course, no absolutely

Deep in the drifting snows

eight games before a decision wns reached
only a fow remain Fletcher nnd Herzog
still adorn tho Infield, but Doylo and Mor
klo nro gone The entlro outfield, which
consisted of Snodgrass, Murray and Devorc,
Is missing, of tho pitching staff, Mathew
son nnd Marquard hae passed on, with
Tesreau alono on tho Job. Chief Meyers
has passed from back of tho bat- So from
tho entlro line-up of regulars only Fletcher,
Ilcrzog anal Tesreau aro left In McGraw's
rebuilding.
The present Giant array looks to bo a
much stronger club and should have a much
better world series chance. The new out
field, with Burns, Knuft and Ilobertson, Is
ell bojniul Murray, Snodgrass and Dovoro.
Tho present Infield Is playing better ball,
but the present pitching staff Isn't quite up
to the Mathewson-Marquard-Tesrcau stand
ard. The old Giants played nineteen world
series games, won 6, lost 12 nnd tied 1.
If tho new Giants are tossed In against
tho lted Sox again they will need every In
gredient at hand to win. Tho odds will
belong with the still unbeaten lted Sox.
Leverage
Leverage Is of far greater sporting value
than ono might consider It nt first glanco.
Norman Maxwell weighs only 120 pounds.
Yet ho can drive a golf ball moro than 250
ards, up with the long hitters of the gamo.
He has tho leverage.
Iiobby Byrno was a diminutive athlete, but
Bobby could smash a baseball with the
force of a Baker or a Zimmerman. He had
tho leverage.
Benny Leonard has knocked out thrco
first-class fighters In a row,
Benny has the leverage which means tho
snap to hit hard from a short distance.
Tho entry who nccepts rough breaks and
tough luck as part of tho gamo has 87 per
cent the best of It from tho start.
"Ability to run a long approach putt dead
Is tho most valuablo Miot In Bolf." notes an
exchange. How about tho nblllty to lay a
mashlo shot dead or a long Iron shot
stoney? Between the two, we'll take a
chanco on tho aluo of tho latter.
Walter J. Travis Is supposed to havo won
his championships via the putter. Th.t
