PLENTY OF PRACTICE By CHAHI.ES (Chick) EVANS, JR. About three O'CnM ago this winter I noticed an cxtrV-cnthuslcst'c and hard working golfer at tin Ind " golf school I was told that lio went there reeularlv i and was worl Ing at the gamo In an earnest and Intelligent manner. Ho np .rarcnlly was one of thirc wl never I roci Into anything except to do It well I I do not know how lorg he had been IplaylrR bef-iri I met him, but ho wa R'i eny-getlc and thoughtful bout his work at the gilt school thit It was Impssslbl" not to notice, It. I'o m's;ed no oppor tunities to Improve, and when any of tho long-time golfers who had mndn their reputation came In to play he wos try observant of their gamo and asked many questions. Tho following summer 1 saw nnd heard little of him, because. I d d not p'ay nt nls club, but In nn open tournament In defeated some of our bet players and won tho final I was much pleased with hW lctory, because I knew ho had worked at tho game Indoors. Kept Hight at It Tho second winter I again saw him a' tho golf school und ho was ttllt working away and with n much Im.iroved swlnir I learned that he pract ced every noon hour, and r ght hero It Is well to state that he Is In business and Is noted for his close application to It. All that winter he kept st.-ndlly on at his game i and did not seem to bother whether ho i could see Improvement or not. It Is my belief that cllf lmprocment Is for a long lime Inv.s.ble. Ills scores Im-1 proved, howeer, and his summer was spent steadily going ahead n that by tho time winter rolled around again h was entitled to consider himself a real I goirer . j Ono day I had some business with this I golfer, and after the business was con 1 eluded our conversation nitU'ally drifted to golf I learned considerable I about the road he was traveling, and It looked not unlike the ono I had como over; only, owing to an older nnd better brain, ho had mndo fewer mistakes on tho way, although I.e. too, had frequently i retraced his steps. Among , ih(.r things, ' Ho i. ' ' ' it4 AT THE neo of twontv Cobb batted his wayto his first crown 111 ' -fl907. Inelifcntnllv It will bo recalled that this was the year when "2u. i ' V". Detroit won Its first American Leaguo Hag. Cobb turned In a .330 average, which was tho same mark registered by Wagner In topping the National League. Crawford, of tho TlgerK, finished second to Ty, with a .314, nnd It was tho work of this pair of batmen which was responslblo for bringing the pennant to Detroit. Wagner's Mark Twice Tops One Made by Ty '?. rvSoBB slumped during tho 1908 season, but that year found tho pitcheis ' v' unusually effective, and with this lower latlng Ty btlll was ablo to lead the'race. Over In the National Leaguo thero was no noticeable depression SJSMras the hitters, for the heroic Honus surpassed his 1907 mark by four turning In a .334 for tho leading average. ThlH was the second lltno his career that Cobb was forced to trail tho mark set by tho Nntlonal champion batsmen. Ills, first was In 1906, when ho had n .320 ', .339 for Wagner. During Cobb's twelvo years Wagner has been ifsply one able to surpass him, twlco beating him and onco getting a. r, at ,350. Taking tho first live leading batsmen during Cobb's period of nthir service supplies somo interesting information. Only twlco durlnir 51 .Ms 'career did Hal Chase finish among Iho llvo leaders.

Knees, ankles nnd wrists aro taped, Light but protective shin guards are often worn beneath gridiron hosiery. Shoes nro hea,vy and well dented. This better equipment furnishes the answer, for It Is an undisputed fact that backfield men. who receive loss aid from their Interference than they did In the h-iullng, mauling days, are required to withstand greater shocks than ever be fore.
