Coach Alexander was in charge of thd work and put the squad through the usual conditioning work. Ed Means, who it was thought would not return, will be back in school and will report this week. This certainly is ■ neourv.ging news, and Ids presence will greatly strengthen the line. Spence, a big. heavy', strong-looking man from Carrollton, has reported, and has a good chance of landing a berth on the big team, Loeb, last year’s center, reported for work today and. though light, seems to lie in great shape. Nothing startling lias happened in the way of new material being found, but, slowly and .surely, the nucleus is being surrounded by healthy, spirited men. and Tech may not handle the basement squad after all.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 1912. Self-Taught Golfers Seldom Learn Real Enjoyment of Game By Mark Allerton. IDO not thlnK that very many people become golfers because of a fixed determination or malice aforethought. A few, in deed, do because their doctor tells them to. or because golf is the fashion, or because (and these are the rarest) they realize that, of al! games, golf presents the greatest number of opportunities for enjoy ment. Tiie rest take to golf as some peo ple take to drink. They are in duced to play a stroke or two, these strokes lead to a round, and that round to many rounds; and before the victim knows where he is. ail that matters to him in heaven above or earth beneath is the hit ting of a ball well and truly, and the lowering of his handicap. It is rather a pity, from one point of view, that the golf habit, like the drug habit, seizes upon its victim in this insidious manner. Let me explain why . it is at this season of the year that the golf microbe gets busy. All sorts .and conditions of people who have hitherto known golf only as it is interpreted to the comic press go to a holiday resort where there is a golf course. There they meet some indulgent friend who in vites them to a game. Protesting, half-contempiuously, they accept the invitation, and in nine cases out of ten they are inoculated. The golf microbe has them in its power. Life of Futile Hopes. They continue to play strenuous and inefficient golf with whomso ever they can beguile. If they be conscientious people they will play solitary rounds by themselves, or even practice the shots that are most difficult to them. And one day—-after they have gone back to town and joined a club—they will’ get a handicap and take part in matches, and (I regret to say it) the rest of. their life will be, one long regret and a series of futile hopes. The reason of this horrible fate is because these people have been content to teach themselves. They have hugged to themselves the de lusion that golf is quite an easy game, that anybody ought to be able to bit a ball with a stick with a bit of wood or iron at the end of it. When they fail to hit the bail to their own satisfaction they blame this, that and the other cir cumstance. They refuse to believe that there is a right and a wrong way of hitting the ball, and that tlte right way can rarely be at tained by intuition. Golf is an extraordinarily fickle game and one day It will delude these people into thinking that they really have mastered it, while the next it will convince them that the difficulty which a camel must expe rience in endeavoring to enter the eye of a needle is nothing com pared to the difficulty of hitting a golf ball toward a green. Most of this difficulty’ is due to ignorance. The majority of begin ners have been told, or they have read in books, that in playing a stroke one must not move one's body, or drop one's right shoulder, or move one’s head, or snatch in one’s aims, or do any of the other half-dozen things one is so curi ously apt to do. And these dear souls do their, befit to put into practice the knowledge that is theirs, and they fail simply because they lack the— . . power iae giftie gie us To see. oursels as ithers see us. By’ watching a foozier play on stroke a competent teacher will be able to diagnose his ailment.

A rascal grown rich has lost all his kindred. , will prescribe his treatment, and the wqrst of the remedy is that the sufferer will, more likely than not, find it almost worse than the dis ease. His bad habits will have be come second nature to him. To pull in his arms, for example, will seem to him the most comfortable way in which to play the stroke, and to thrust them out will be an irksome and awkward exercise.- He will, accordingly, have to unlearn al! that he knows of golf before he begins to learn the correct method of playing the game. That is why the casual and de sultory way in which people "take to golf is to be deplored. They would save themselves a great deal of unhappiness if, right at the be ginning, they received proper tui tion from a competent 'teacher. I distrust amateur teachers. As the tag goes, the advice that one gels for nothing is seldom worth more. The professional teacher is more conscientious, more tolerant and less irritable than the friendly am ateur. We are also more inclined to pay strict attention to his pre cepts. Because we want to get the value for our money’ we are care ful to do as he tells us. Crux of the Matter. in short, I advise all those hosts of people who, within the next few weeks, will be introduced to golf for the first time, to take the game se riously. and to learn it from the direct instruction of one who knows how to teach it. Those who do not wish to take all this trouble may’ cast my own words in my teeth, repeating that golf is a game, and that we should play golf for the sheer fun of it. I qrge in return that a game is all the better game and all the jollier if one can play it so that one’s rec reation Is not a series of trials and blasted hopes. To the confirmed foozier there is really very little fun to be got out of a round of tiie links. On the contrary, it is an ordeal that brings into prominence Hie frailties of his character. On the other hand, the player who Is continually in doubt whether he will even hit the ball, not to men tion hitting it in the right direction, has so much worry on his mind that he has no thought to spare on the beating of his opponent.

PLAYERS’ UNION IS LAUNCHED IN NEW YORK NEW YORK. Sept. 6.—Major league baseball players formally launched their new protective organization yesterday. Il is mown as the National and Amer ican League Baseball Fraternity, and its certificate of incorporation was signed by Supreme Court Justice De laney. According to the petition for incor poration, its object Is to foster fra ternal feeling among the players in tiie two big leagues. * Dave Fultz, former baseball and football star, who was largely instrumental in bringing the new movement to a head, is at present president of the association. While the articles of incorporation have not beep made public, it is gen erally believed the players intend, for mutual protection, to demand repre sentation of their brotherhood in the councils of organized baseball. The call for the organization re sulted from the difficulties of Ty Cobb which precipitated a strike among the Detroit team in Philadelphia early in the season. Opposition from club owners is expected to be directed against the organization. The magnates fear this means the unionization of baseball and the possi bility of strikes. Seventeen men. including players from the Giants. Pirates, Phillies, White Sox, Cardinals, Naps and Trolley Dodgers, signed the articles of incorporation.
