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, '

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

THI3 Indications are that the Inter
coll'glalo outdoor track and field
championships which were abindoned In
1017 will be resumed In 1918.
In lcw of President Wilson's stand
for tho continuation of -port nnd the
'set that most of the young men In our

better as he nesrs tho crown. If he
would not comna'o with the old school,
no at leant outshines the new.
One reason advanced fir the decrease
In gridiron fatilltlcs during the 1917
ea oi Is tho Improvement In the foot
iall warrior's uniform. Tho style makers
In gridiron sartorlals have so bettored
their art thit tho modern-day player
takes tho field with every' vulnerable
sp t scientifically protected.
He-id guards aro stronger nnd bettei
padded. Neck, shoulder and chest pads
are mado In ono plcco and nro slipped
on beneath the Jersey or sewed to It,
The ribs, stomach and hips are protected
by heavy pads. 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. Different motions are used In throwing
tho forward pass, and, ns a matter of
fact, few If any of them nro Identical
with tho movement used In tossing a
baseball. Ilcrt Bell, tho Pennsylvania
quarter, comes ns near tho baseball
throw with a footbill as any man we
havo seen In tho L'ast this season. .

on the diamond Cobb batted .369, and Keeler had the same rating.
t'.'aairylng out this mark to another decimal point it was found that
r" mark reached .3693 against a .3696 for Keeler, a difference of three-

Teen Ty and "Wee Willie." During the years when Willie made his
