Before the Americans Joined the ranks of the Allied fighters 'the majority of Europeans had a very vague idea of what the game was , all' about. Now they are picking up the details with remarkable celerity. . mainly because they are interested In it. The games that have been played between the American service teams in Grat Britain recently hao been largely attended, and the best part of It Is that the people at those games came from all classes. Just as the fans of this country do. At the Army-Navy game Thursday, Princess Pat tossed out the first ball and made a decided hit with the Americans. She was greeted with a .regular American chorus of "O, you Pat!" which pleased exceedingly, In Vaplte of the fact that she Is not accustomed to being addressed that way. Clark Griffith, who has done so much to further the Interests of base ball with his bat and ball fund, jays that after the war many European countries and some of the Oriental nations may bo expected to go in for baseball In earnest. There Is a league composed of thirty teams In France present, with American soldiers, pallors and marines enrolled aa players. If baseball grows In favor abroad the fans on this side of the pond may : forward to a real world's series some day. Imagine what interest there uW be in a series between the French or English chumplons and the nnere of the American series! Griffith says it Is only a matter or time, his opinion, until such a series will be possible. Star Teams in United States Service A baseball manager were allowed to look over the list of men In the United States service and select a baseball club, he could pick out a lib that, with a reasonable number of breaks during the season, could iture the flag In either league and follow that up with a victory In the Id's series. Here is a selection that would make even the New York ts management assume a green decoration of envy: Pitchers Alexander, Pfeiffer, Smith, Hamilton, Shore, Scott, JUxey, Cadore.

"-vv-faKX 1 1 TtBIBT Tin TRAVERS, MARSTON, KIRKBY AND ANDERSON TO PLAY HERE FOR THE RED CROSS Will Participate in Four-Ball Match at Mcrion Next Saturday Under Auspices of Golf Associa tion of Philadelphia 0 By WILLIAM H. EVANS THE Golf Association of Philadelphia, through the personal efforts of Max well It. Marston, has arranged a four ball golf match over the east course of the Merlon Cricket Club for next Sat urday afternoon. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the lied Cross. Max well, with Jerome D. Travers as his partner, will play against Oswald Klrkby and John G. Anderson. This will be tho first war fund ex hibition match to be played in this city, but the Golf Association expects to have others, which will be announced later. While the local association gets Into the game rather late, as these matches have been played In the metro politan and other districts for the last two months, it has as its opening gun of the drive four of tho most prominent amateur golfers In tho country. There Is Only One Jerry Traers, as we all know, Is the four times amateur champion, and Is one of the threo American amateurs who hae eer won the national open title. One of the last times that he played here In a tournament was In 1915, a week after winning tli.-i open at Baltusrol. He plajed in the Lynnewood Hall Cup tournament In Huntingdon Valley, and won the third leg on that valuable trophy and gained permanent possession of It. Tho same week he played In the tournament given at Merlon by Harold Sands, now In the national service, and he won that. He has played here a number of times since but mostly over the Pine Valley couise. Marston has won everything worth while In a golf line but the Metropolitan and the national championship. One of the best exhibitions he ever gave was In the final of the Lynnewood Hall against Traers after the then open champion had a most comfortable lead. The next ear he won tjie trophy. Last year he entered the navy as a seaman but early this year he was Invalided home. He Is now playing most of his golf over the Merlon course and there are few better players In the country. Oswald Klrkby has been the Metro polltan and New Jersey champion and he easily ranks among the five or six best amateurs In the country. His last ap pearance hero was in the national cham pionship at Merlon where he lost a sen sational match to Gardiner White. Andetson has twlco been tho runner up In tho national championship, the first time to Travers and the second time to Bob Gardner. He was Uie run ner up to Chick Evans for the French title In 1911 and he has twice been the champion of Massachusetts. Marston Is one of the longest drivers In the country and In his famous match with Gardner In the semi-final of the national championship at Detroit in 1915 he held tho far driving Chlca goan fairly even. During that tourna ment he had the hard flight for he beat both Jcsso Guilford and Jerry Travers. In his match with Gardner Marston was dormlo one and both were home home on their tee shots. Marston ran his approach putt to within two feet of the hole while Gardner missed his second and lay dead. All that Marston needed was that putt but he hurried his shot and missed. On the extra hole Gard ner won. All Familiar With Course AH four have played over the Merlon course a number of times and are thor oughly familiar with It. Of the four, Anderson Is the only one who is not showy, but he gets there. The other three have beautiful form and, as all four are playing very fine golf, we may expect a very brilliant exhibition. For those who delight In following the best players In tho country the match should be a delightful treat, and rarely does this city or any other have the opportunity of seeing such a fine quartet of players. There Is not the slightest doubt that a record-breaking ciowd will follow the match. Marston has already played In three matches for the Red Cross,. He de feated Mrs. W. A Gavin, to whom he gave nine strokes In eighteen, in handy style, and he and Traver havo beaten Barnes and Low In easy style and car ried another match with Barnes and McNamara to extxra holes before they lost. I EVANS GIVES POINTERS ON FOLLOW THROUGH Advises Golfers Not to Go Through With the Arms and Clubhead Bent Immediately After Hitting the Ball By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR THIS little article Is merely a group of suggestions as to the follow through and It begins with a series of do n't s. Do not go through with the club and arms on the same line; nor go through with the arms and clubhead bent Im mediately after you hit the ball, that is. do not pull your club up quickly and sharply after tho ball Is hit, for you will probably get a wabbly flight; also this sort of a slap is hard to Judge. Slap the old clubface against the ball all right, but keep your arm and club on a straight line for about three feet and then draw It back with the body In a bent arm and club position. You will be bure to do this If you brace your left knee as you should. This method of following through worked fine for me, but I discovered a tendency to leave out the quick, snappy slap at the Impact, and to start the straight arm and straight-club follow through before the ball Is hit. Be very careful about this if you value the re sult. B. C MacFarlane, the Scottish player who beat me at Sandwich In the last British championship, had a peculiar pause, as It were, at the end of his back stroke as If to rrieasure the amount of strength he was to put Into the shot for the required distance. He would seem to wait something like a musician for his first note to 6i 'out before ha erJ effective on the occasion on which I met him. The effective golf stroke is rhythmic, and I determined to try swinging smoothly and rhythmically, and I found that I had to pause'"Just a little at the end of the back stroke. Pause however. Is hardly the word, for that would cause a stop In the timing and good timing must be continuous. It might be more correct to say that It is a slight slowing up which permits the wrists to relax slightly up there and in turn gives the little dip of the club- head and swish of it at the end of the back stroke. The slight hesitation makes you more careful of the location of the ball and is more accurately de livered. I was much Interested the other day In the chance remark of a "pro" about Harry Vardon and his way of hitting them up with the slight slice spin so as to get all carry for the slow, or well bunkered courses. That Is to say, he finishes his blow with the right hand a little underneath Instead of turning over as was the old Idea. This method gives the; feeling or hitting the ball up Into the air. Vou do not have to have thr ball farther advanced in order to hit it up; If you do you are likely to Increase your slice spin to a discouraging extent. The whole Idea Is to get the ball as straight as pobsible.. Another good feature of playing the3e shots with the tendency to slice, rather than to pull Is that difficult idea of turning the wrleti over f.the right time, and also ( rU- BENDER PUTS U. S. ABOVE BASEBALL Won't Play With Yanks Without Permission From Hog Island HUGGINS GAMBLES Chief Bender, who was recently turned over to the Yankees at the waiver price by President Baker, of the Hhll lles, puts patriotism before baseball, and last night said that he would not leave llcg Island under any circum stances until he saw the first ship launched on the Delaware. The big Indian pitcher has signed to work at Hog Island and "do his bit" over here, and he will not Join the Yanks unless he has the permission of the authorises at Hog Island and their promise to allow him to return to his work after the baseball season ends. "I was not particularly glad when the announcement was made that Hugglns had paid President Baker, of the Phil lies, J2500, the waiver price, for my release," said Bender. "I am sore that Baker got that money for me, for he never treated me right, and I think that It was foolish for Hugglns to take that kind of a gambler's chance. "And It Is a chance, too, for, unless I receive a willlnr release from those In charge at Hog Island nnd their assur ance that I can resume my work In the fall after the ball season ts over, 1 will continue as I am. "Baseball Is a secondary consideration with me, and, while I realize that the fellows who are 'doing their bit over here1 need amusement as well as the boys In the trenches and back of them, i I alt-o realize that we need ships and1 all tho men we can get to build them. "I made all this clear to Joe Kelly, the Yanks' scout, when he was over to see me, and I presume that he reported my attitude to Hugglns. "I have stated my case to the officials at the shipbuilding plant, and It Is up to them to say whether I shall, stay there and help build ships or play ball with the Yankees."
