After Eight Years of Failure Vaughn Delivers I TiniEN" can an entry be considered an otit-nml-out bust? Jim Vaughn had ' been eithei a raw failure or nn unsatisfactory performer with eight dif , fcrent ball clubs, minor and major, over a period of eight yenrs. cn Clark Griffith, that past master nt handling pitchers, had given him up as a hopeless case. And then, in his ninth year, Vaughn suddenly wheels i under a Cub banner and becomes one of the best and most dependable pitthcrs ' in the game. After eight years of failure he now has turned in five seasons of success. And after thirteen years of this weird mixture he is now only Ihirty-bne years old. You can't always tell. Six years ago there wasn't a mnjor-lcague owner who "would have given two francs for the big Texan. IT MERELY took Vaughn eight years and eight failmcs to make up his mind that he wanted to pilch.

ED LEWIS ELIMINATED A IjSO, in the employment of his left arm, he can throw a baseball en ei if en matt Ining. Almost Strictly Personal INDIANA'S total output embraces something more than nutbors. There is Hvcrctt Scott, nf Bluffton, Ind., and Boston, Mass. Scott, although he rarelv ranges above .240 nt bat, is our idea of a great ball player. He is a defensive marvel, the surest shoitstop in baseball, n timely swntsman, an aggressive, hustling, bend-up workman, good for every game ou the season's schedule. So far he has played in 300 consecutive games, and in the 300 games he has played championship baseball over every inch of the route. fiQSinEU.tthi: bloke, Mr. Scott the licbl. take it from the recoids or Ouimet Star on Brassie Shots TIIERL mav be golfers in America who can play a brassie shot from a close lie better than Francis Ouimet, but we never have seen one in action. Where another, even n first-class golfer, would have to use a spoon or an iron to get the ball up, Ouimet can tear through with his brassie and thereby pick up fifteen ni twenty ards. No one who ever saw it can forget the brnssie shot he played against Bill Fowncs on the thirty-sixth hole nt Ekwanok in 1014, where only a full brassie shot could reach the green. And the ball wasn't lying any too well for a midirou.

Phil Carter a Golfing de Palma PHIIi CAUTER'S return from Trance brings back one of the star members of the voungcr golfing colony. Phil is not only one of the best, but also one of the fastest plav ing golfers of the realm. AW recall one match in a metropolitan championship which Carter played against John !. Anderson. This battle went to five extra holes. On the twenty-fluid hole Anderson ran down a thirty-foot putt for a 2, breaking up the contest. And the two had needed just an hour and fifty-seven minutes to play the twenty-three holes, where most golfers need two hours and a half to play eighteen. As a rule, the slower they arc the woise they arc. CARTER has pioved that the main idea is to step up and hit the ball, n hether it be a drhe or a putt. Merely Question of the Punch JESS WILLARD'S nge has been put down anywhere between thirty -three and thirtj -eight. The champion naturally picks the younger mark, but that doesn't mean un awful lot. He looked to be more than thirty when he fought Carl Morris six years ago. Willard weighed 240 pounds when he fought Morris in 1013. He weighed 2C0 pounds when he fought Moran in 1016. In the last four years he has boxed only one ten-round competition, which will haidlv help him a terrific amount for his fight with Dempsey. Quite a number of people don't believe he can ever be knocked out. Quite n number of people believed the same thing about Sullivan, Jeffries and Johnson. Jf'iS' meicly a question of time, the place and the punchif they only M stick around. Which they always do. HEINIE ZIMMERMAN", of the Giants, has the best golf swing among all ball plu.vcrs Heinle was a caddie in his budding youth, where he first acquired the knack.
