gentlemen who stand at the home -plate with avowed intentions of soaking a
blunt out of the playground
And therebj bang thi- tale Mr. Johnson. even outside of Washington.
Is considered it err high class pitcher. He uses, nothing to deceive the batter
except eoutrol nnd pced, and when those trivial things are working properly
the noble athletes can mell out their rhests and modestly receive congratulations
every time thej connect with a foul tip. The tduggers 'imply do not slug when
he is on the mound, and If there !. any doubt, look up the figgors. They nccr
band you a bum steer.
Last year, according to the muty old dope. .Tohnfon was not nicked for n
tingle circuit swat. AH of which in u way of saying that no player was able
to make a home run while he was on the job. and be was very much anions those

and tolled in "00 full nnd complete inuiugs, which is something to make him
bold out for an eight hour day thi year, lie delivered n lot of baseballs iu those

especially when such weakliugs a Nabe Hutb, I'iug Bodie. Hobby Koth nud

Johnson's record was prett good, but here'- something ulmost as Martliug.
The curvers working for Connie Mack did NOT allow tho largest number of
four-base wallops last senson. True, they made a noble effort to lead the league,
but missed it by three. The New York Yankees copped the russet shoes with
the pearl buttons when they allowed the enemy to knock forty -seven baseballs
haphazardly and for long distances.

Gallia Permitted Ten Home Runs
MELVIN ALBERT GALLIA busts into print because he was the most liberal
guy in the league. The slinger from St. Lose outhoine-runued all of hit,
curving Cjotemporariei. for the opponent succeeded in stinging him for ten
lengthy lnrrups. In justice, to Mr. (iallla we must mention he comes from
Ueeville. Bee count , Tex. wherever that is. Tom Rogers and Walt Kinney,
of the Athletics, were lunners-up with uiue each, nnd the same goes for Oeorxe
Dauss, of Detroit, end Herb Thormnhlcu, of the Yankee. Jack Quiun truiled
along with eight.
IJernie Roland, of the Tigers, also was a generous gent, but was a discrimi
nating person, lie allow ed himself to be socked for seven smashes, but uo one
was lingering on the ruuwjv-. when the powerful punches were perpetrated. In
other words, the homers ame when they did the least harm if those things, by
nay stretch of the imagination, can be considered harmless. However, the boys
used to piny return engagement-, against Beruie. F'rinstanec, Michael Menosky
mauled him for a pair nud Bohbv Roth did likewise.
Lefty Williams, of the White Sox. almost equaled Roland's record, as six
of the seven homers made off him lame when the bases were ns densely populated
as Port Indian. I'.i . iu Jnntinry IMdle Cieotte. his teammate, allowed flic,
which Is the same number chalked up againt Carl Mays
The pitchers who laid the pellet in the rtoovc with the bases clogged are
Dauss, Qmun. Shaw key. Jing Johnson. Shore, Pavenport. Co urn ho nnd Sotheron.
The most sensational was pulled by Coiinib". The Cleveland port-slder went in
as a relief hurler against Boston one day in the last iuulng and the bancs were
full. The Indinns were three runs to the good nnd Ruth was at bat. The Rabe
knocked a homer and won the game. He also kuocked Coumbe out of the box,
Cleveland out of the game and Lee l'ohl out of a Job.

nineteen trickling over the pun. Walter Kinney und Tom Rogers were close
behind with seventeen each.

Miss Edith Larzelere Teaches Her Teammates
Fundamentals of a Good Swing
i
By SANDY
ISS RDITII LAR
ZRLKRp: is u
w hole lot more
than the host
golfer of her club
team She is its
captain nud has
been for t w o
vears. But more
'ta. tbau that, she is
coach, trainer, would be waterboy if
they had 'era, nnd cvrythlng else.
She isn't conMnt to piny tine golf and
let her deeds shine for tho team, nor
does she concentrate all her efforts iu
trying to outdo tho beat the rOift ar5
able to do.
Miss Larzelere realizes that the team
cannot win by the Individual work of
No. 1, No. 2 and possibly No. 3 players,
but figures that every match won counts
the c,ame and that the players on the
end of the list must win, too, to bring
u team victory. She works, therefore.
Just as vigorously over the game of the
worst player on the team as she does
on her own. This kind of leadership
will tell
Mi Larzelere has made sure of the
soundness of her principles and has tnen
gone uhead.
"Tim greatest trouble I find with
women players just beginning golf,"
stated the young cantalu the other day,
"is overswlnging. Nine-tenths of them
have ibis fiiult, trying to hit the hall
farther than they can, I guess. I spend
more time with them on this overawing
ing fault than on nnv other phase of the
shot. Where they have the fault to a
degree, J only let them take a half
swng until they get coutrol and abiliM
to hit the ball '
Mins I.nrzelcio raid that when this
patt nt the shot was going nicely she
indur-ii d a little more swing toniing
back nud to get the distance, taught
u more than-full follow-through.

"My follow-through." explained the
slender team leader, "is much farther
relatively than my back swing. I let
ray club come right on around as far
pi it will go. It even overbalances me,
no T make no effort to hold it In or
poso nt the finish of it."
She played n drive to show the idea
She enme back slowly with the club
head, hugging it nlong (he ground more
than six inches in back of the ball as
it went back. Her right nrm was in
close. The swing-back was slow nud
did not reach tho full top of a man's
swing. Without any attempt to take
aim at the top of her back-swing or
any pause, she whipped Into tho for
ward swing.
Her hands had dropped from shoulder-high
to the hips before tha club
head, aud at this point her wrists and
hands broke into 6uup, which gave, tre
mendous impetus to, the clubhcad, caus
ing It to attain its greatest momentum
at just the right moment from the
height of the hips to the ball.
Ah she hit the ball her clubbcad wan
thus ahead of tho hands, the arms
straight, the right hand, forearm and
shoulder bearing the brunt of tho hit,
I the left pulling the club through.
I Of course, the actual nctlon waa a
1 little fast for the eye, but this la what
I MKs Larzelere said happened.
1 'Notice." continued Miss Larzelere,
i dropping another ball and taking her
stance, "I play the ball off my left heel
with the right foot In front of the left.
That is Important for balance."
"Why do you use the Vardon grip?"
we asked, as is customary.
"Because by overlapping the little
finger of my right hand I tiud my fingers
do not slip."
"I never would have been champion
of anything." she finished, "but for
attention to n Alow-back, shortened
back swing and nil the force in the
, bit nnd thorough follow -through."
