\ BRH3SIE SHOT 111 A Tl OF lit g By “Chick” Evans C hicago, ill. May 3?.—The brass!* shot is becoming mor» a thing of the past, and by a bras- trie shot I mebn any shot after tlie tee shot has been played that is too long for the irons. Donald Boss say* that three-*>hnt holes are really only names now. Years ago before the advent of the rubber-cored balls the brassie 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 willful players. It may he explained for the benefit of those new to the game that a brag- si* is really a w*ll-lofted driver with brass-covered sole. Sometimes it is shorter than the driver, but that is a matter of individual choice. * As the ball lies dose to the fair green and it Is not teed up like the driver it is easy to understand that the brass sole is intended to prevent th* club from being injured by the rough ground underlying the fair way. 1 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 lasting. Brassie Once Useful Club. In the days of the gutta-percha ball the brass!* was very useful In those days bogey was figured at 17", yards for a drive and 150 for a braseie, and a player getting home on a 325- yard hole was playing remarkable golf. Of course there always was a bras ^sie shot on those 325-yard ’holes and I when winds were a little unfavorabl /three brasrie shots of good length and direction were needed to help the drive. It is hard for us to realize a 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 shot* and bogey distances moved up. Holes of 400 yards w ere reached with a drive and a good brassie, and at the prest nt moment then ar< s• w holee in the country of the recog nized long-hole length, 500 to 600 yards, that cannot be reached with a drive and a brassie. This means that different irons have supplanted th* brassie on nearly alK 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 eighteen holes and then often mon than once, it is now used probably only once or twice on the round ■ Sometimes on the few long holes \yhere one can use a brassie then are bunkers guarding the green 1 and the player will find it much safer to play short with an iron instead of trying to place a brassie shot Just over the bunker. It's the 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 mavmot he needed more than ihiv, or four times and many players now carry only a driver and a spoon. Necessarily the decreasing use of “' tile brassie Is developing a corre sponding uncertain \ in »!:•!•■ ii. and perhaps It is to counterba mce this weak vet* that some <r u v indenting it in »o T! ran get just as far ; the club for use on tin fair gre yet, on the o'her hand, 1 hn revival players use a driver fair way. -/- : The wooden clubs give advantac to the strong, but they lack the“dt 1 tmu . the desire for this accuracy joined . * ehort'r holes and longer balls i is depriving the brassie of all It legitimate use.

May :6.—“silk" O’Boughlin, American League umpire, declares that Albert Russell, the Sox southpaw, has bet ter control than any lefthander who i vir broke into the American League. “Hi ’s going to be a great pitcher,” said O’Loughlin. “Not only has he control, but he has a lot of stuff n the ball. But his control is the tiling that makes a hit with»me. I ,;o 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 iff* rent 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. His 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 ?tar Indian of t^e Athletics, is another pitcher who warms up that way. And it was from Connie Mack’s Indian that Rus- ■■i»U got his idea. When the Ath- h;:vs were in Texas in 1912 Bender ■ s#instructing some of the San An tonio youngsters how to warm up and h« insisted that the only way to do was to try for control. Bom* youngster who was coached by Bender saw the good point of it at once. That isn’t the way the ordii ary pitcher warms up by any means. li* just throws the ball in the *s?ener. 1 dir ction of the plate. His idea is U atari pitching easily at first, then pu: in” more and mon si>eed on until hi.- atm is in condi- ; ion to permit him lo put everything he has on th.* sphere. But it’s control first with Russell. ZOOTE BEATS M. ATTELL. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, May ’ Ad Zoote, »of Stockton.

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 has been subscribed. But the Cleveland ball players have been told that there is every reason to believe that the full amount will be donatedi 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 25 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 so hard for every game. Winning a pennant Is a whole lot. It means a part of the world’s aeries 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 A win that pennant is 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 arc 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 S'de manager wasn’t either long or s'rong on fly chaser? and t yet, so far - ’hat goes. So he* waivers were asked on Davy he grabbed him. GA '"ON TO ST. LOUIS. COLUMBUS, GV.

PoeLandmarkSite For Baseball Field 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. It is on the site of what will be the new American League baseball park next summer, at 226th Street and Broadway, and a gang of laborers has taken possession of the old tavern as a shelter for themselves and their shovels. Efforts of Poe’s admirers to prese^v^ the old tavern for its historical interest failed. RAFAEL ALMEIDA WANTS TO BECOME A PITCHER CINCINNATI. May 31.—Rafael Al- meida, the Reds’ Cuban fielder, Is practicing pitching and thinks In time he will get to be quite a hurler. He is wmrking out every day with Kling and Brown, who are giving him the benefit of their expert advice and coaching. Almeida says that all he needs is practice enough to insure his having control. He claims that his curve ball will fool the cleverest hitters if he can get it over. That’s a big “if” with a whole dot of pitchers. BRITISH GOLFERS WILL BE HERE NEXT AUGUST NEW YORK, May 31.—Edward Ray and Harry Varden, the present and former open golf champions of Great Britain, respectively, will be in this country as early as the middle of August, according to word received at the Shawnee Country Club.

May 31.—Though Luth er McCarty, the powerful young boxer who dropped dead in the Calgary arena last Saturday, was a care-free, indifferent young man on the surface; he was sensi tive to criticism and read all the sto ries that were written about him with the deepest attention. 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 his 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. “I’ve seen McCarty in tears after reading some of the unjust and un true things that were ?aid 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 his 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 (rouble 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 yams 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 mighf be called a foolish manner.” HILTON RETAINS TITLE. ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND, May 31.—Harold H.
