* "’» VFWS. BRASSIE SHOT NOW II TIC OF THE PAST SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT C&3 Harry Goes to Defend Rummy’s Good Name / Bv “Chick” Evans C hicago, ill.. May 33.—The brasgle shot ia becoming more s thing of the past, and by a bras sie shot I mean any shot after the tee shot has been played that la too long for the Irons. Donald Rosa says that three-shot holes are really only names now Tears ago before the advent of the rubber-cored balls the brasale was a very Important club, but since the coming of the new ball Its use for the second shot has con stantly decreased among the more skillful players. It may be explained for the benefit of those new to the game that a bras- sie la really a well-lofted driver with brass-covered sole. Sometimes it is shorter than the driver, but that Is a matter of Individual choice. As the ball Ilea close to the fair green and It la not teed up like the driver it Is easy to understand riiat the brass sole ia intended to prevent the club from being Injured by the rough ground underlying the fair way. I appealed to Tom Bigelow, the well- known golf authority, for a detailed explanation of the origin of the club and I found the information very In teresting. “At a certain length from the tee at a certain hole at St. Andrews." said Tom "there was a gravelly out cropping ” In consequence the wood en club used for the second shot had to be constantly repaired At first the club was mended with a bit of ram's horn, but It was finally de termined to shoe the new club, as Tom expresses It, to avoid the neces sity of frequent repair. Then some one tried a brass plate covering the entire sole, and as this was much more durable the Innovation at once be came popular and lusting. Brassie Once Useful Club. In the . days of the gutta-percha ball the brassie was very useful. In those days bogey was figured at 175 yards for a drive and 160 for a brasfle, and a player getting home on a 326- yard hole was playing remarkable golf Of course there always was a bras sie shot on those 826-yard holes and when winds were a little unfavorable three brasrie shots of good length and direction were needed to help out the drive. It Is hard for us to reaiixe-e. time when the taking of four wooden shots of the well-hit kind was necessary to reach the green. With the change In balls came long er shots and bogey distances moved up. Holes of 40(1 yards were reached with a drive and a good brassie, and at the present moment there are few holer In the country of the recog nised lorrg-hole length, 600 to 600 yards, that cannot be reached with h drive and a brassie. This meltns that different irons have supplanted the brassie on nearly all distances of 450 yards or so, and there are few holes now over that length So while the brassie could formerly be used on perhaps sixteen out of I eighteen holes and then often more than once. It Is now used probably only once or twice on the round. I Sometimes on the few long holes where one cap use a brassie there are bunkers guarding the green and j the player will find It much safer io I play short with an Iron Instead of trying to place a brassie shot Just over the bunker. It's ths Driver and Spoon Now. One can play round after round on Chicago golf and use no brassie a! all. Even on the windiest day It may not be needed more than three or four times and many players now carry only a drlvur and a spoon. Necessarily the decreasing use of the brassie Is developing a corre sponding uncertainty In playing It, and perhaps It Is to counterbalance this weakness that some players are adopting It In the place of the driver They claim they can get just as far and It keeps them In practice wilh the club for use on the fair green; yet. on the other hand, I have seen several players use a driver on the fair way. The wooden clubs give advantage to the strong, but they lack the deli cate accuracy of the Irons, and It is the desire for this accuracy Joined to shorter holes and longer balls that fs depriving the brassie of all Its legitimate use.

Standing of the Clubs, By Bill Bailey C hicago, ill. May 26.—'"silk" O'Loughlin, American League umpire, declares that Albert Russell, the Sox southpaw, has bet ter control than any lefthander who ever broke into the American League. “He'B going to be a great pitcher.” said O’Loughlin. “Not only has he control, but he has a lot of stuff on the ball. But his control i» the thing that makes a hit with me. I do not believe that I ever saw a young lefthander who had the control that he has.” And Russell has control for the reason that he warms up In a way different from almost every other pitcher in the league. Russell works for control from the moment that he gets the ball In his hand until the final warmup. Can Place Ball Well. "Four at your waist,” he will say to the catcher. Then he will pitch four at the waist. It doesn’t matter so much whether there is anything on the ball. Ills first idea Is to get those four at the waist. "Now at the knees,” Russell will say. Then he pitches four at the knee. He pitches Just as carefully as if there was a man at the plate and he wanted to break the ball at his knee. “Now at the shoulders,” he will fol low. And four are shot at the shoulder. It's control that he Is after. He has an idea that his speed and his curve ball are with him always and that it is the control which will make or break him in the contest to come. Bender Gives Tip. Chief Bender, the star Indian of the Athletics, is another pitcher who warms up that way. And it was from Connie Mack’s Indian that Rus sell got his idea. When the Ath letics were in Texas in 1912 Bender was instructing some of the San An tonlo youngsters how to warm up and he insisted that the only way to do was to try for control. Some youngster who was coached by Bender saw the good point of it at once. That isn't the way the ordinary pitcher warms up by any means. He just throws the ball in the general direction of the plate. His idea is to start pitching easily at first, then putting more and more speed on until his arm is in condi tion to permit him to put everything he has on the sphere. But it's control first with Russell. W. L. Mobile. 32 19 .62 N'vllle. 25 21 .543 Atlanta 24 22 .522 M’phis 24 22 .522 X.

THEY COP FLIC C LEVELAND, OHIO, May 31.— One hundred thousand dollars In cash Is the bonus that Cleve land business men are reported to have offered the Naps If they can bring the pennant of the American League to this city. The fact has not been advertised in Cleveland and will not be until all of the money ha* been subscribed. But the Cleveland ball players have been told that there Is every reason to believe that the full amount will be donated. One of the players told Manager Callahan, of the White Sox, that the winning of the pennant by the Naps would mean the enrichment of every man on the team by $4,000. They figure 26 men In on the division should the plan go through and the Naps should win. • • • THIS would be the largest purse 1 ever split by a baseball club, and that regardless of whether the Naps were victorious In the world’s cham pionship series or not. Incidentally this may reveal anoth er reason why those Cleveland play ers are battling 60 hard for every game. Winning a pennant is a whole lot. It means a part of the world’s series money, but add $100,000 to the sum to be won in the big series and you have a purse that almost any fellow would strive with might and main to win. • * • THAT the men are fighting hard to * win that pennant !s a certainty. Clark Griffith, manager of the Sena tors, went out of town claiming the Naps were playing "dirty” ball to win. There has been nothing to in- dicate that In the games between the Sox and the Naps. But the Sox do know that the Cleveland lads are showing considerable more fight than they ever have before. TOLEDO GETS DAVY JONES FROM MANAGER CALLAHAN CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 31.—The Sox yesterday heard that Davy Jones would be with them no more. They weren’t a bit surprised. They ex pected it and were Interested only in knowing where he was going. Nor was there any surprise expressed when told that he had been sent to Toledo. When Shaller made good Jones was doomed. Callahan took Jones from Detroit only that he might pro tect his outfield. The South Side manager wasn't either long or strong on fly chasers and isn’t yet. so far as that goes. So when waivers were asked on Davy he grabbed him. GASTON TO ST. LOUIS. COLUMBUS, GA.. May 31.—Dave Gaston, who has been a bone of con tention in the Sally League for past several months, and whom Co lumbus wanted this season, is on his way to St. Louis, where he goes to sign a contract with John O’Con nor's team in the Federal League. NEW YORK, May 33.—Kings bridge Tavern, a landmark of 100 years’ standing and a resort where Edgar Allan Poe used to wait for his manuscripts to come back from unappreciative edi tors, is about to give way to the march of progress.

He never said much about the criticisms that were heaped upon him In the East because of Billy McCarney’s unpopularity with certain people there, but that they af fected him keenly Is well known to hi* close friends. As a matter of fact, McCarney Is outspoken in say ing that McCarty never was the same after their recent campaign in the East, during which the big Nebraska athlete was roasted severely. ‘Tve seen McCarty In tears after reading some of the unjust and un true things that were said of him,” McCarney told me a couple of days after the contest that resulted In such a hideous manner. "I won’t say exactly that this has tened hls end, but I do know that he grieved deeply over the cruel things that were printed, especially In the East. While training for the Frank Moran bout in New York some of the worst things imaginable, and all of them absolutely without founda tion in truth, were printed about him. “For Instance, It was sent out over the country broadcast that we had been ordered to leave a New York hotel because Luther walked through a corridor with nothing on but his fighting togs and a bathrobe on his way to and from the arena. There wasn’t a particle of truth In the story, yet until right now I never took the trouble to deny it. “The hotel people were indignant and wanted to make a statement, but I couldn’t see It. The proprietor told us when we were leaving we could always return there and be welcome. “That’s merely a sample of the out rageous yarns that drifted into the papers. All of them affected the boy keenly, and he would grieve for hours over them. He worried a lot. "There never was a grain of fear in this man's make-up. He was a bundle of courage and liked the honor of the thing above all else. He was none too careful of his money and spent it freely, but not in what might be called a foolish manner.” HILTON RETAINS TITLE. ST. ANDREWS. SCOTLAND, Mas- Si.—Harold H.
