PULL THROUGH
C HATTANOOGA, TENN., July 22.
That the Immediate addition of
material strength is absolutely
necessary not only to keep the Look
outs in the race, but moreover to
make them a first-division ciub, is
being gradually conceded locally.
The showing of the Lookouts in
the week just passed, and, in fact,
during the long home stay which
closed with the'Gulls, gave conclusive
proof that the club does not possess
the strength and stamina not only
•to rise in the percentage ladder, but
even to hold its present position.
Realizing the general weakness of
the club for the final spurt. Elber-
feld has secured Dee Walsh from the
St. Louis Browns, but the acquisition
of the league’s fielding sensation is
not going to help the club to any
material extent, as offensive strength
1s what is needed. Walsh can not
be expected to hit over .250, although
he will surpass Williams in fielding.
Alberfeld and Elston, who represent
about 50 per cent of the club’s of
fensive strength, can not be depended
upon to any degree of certainty, be
cause of their injuries. Elston has a
bad leg, which has worried him for
three seasons, and the member forces
him to lay out so long that his bat
ting eye is continually off form. The
beaning of Elberfeld will undoubted
ly affect him to some extent through
out the entire season.
The Lookouts must get another
good hitter to pull through.
It is being gradually conceded here
that Atlanta and Birmingham, al
though there is considerable prej
udice against both clubs’, are the two
teams which are to be the ultimate
grapplers for the rag. They s»eem
to possess the greatest strength, and
are not being forced to spurt now as
are Montgomery and Mobile.
LANGFORD-MILLER GO OFF;
NEGRO MAY BE BARRED
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.—Sam
Langford has # been stamped an unde
sirable in this city, so far as ring
engagements are concerned. The
board of supeVvisors have notified
Promoter J. T. Mitchell, of the Na
tional A. C., who planned to stage a
four-round bout between Charlie
Miller and Langford here Friday, that
the colored heavyweight would not
be permitted to enter the ring.
This action was taken under a rul
ing of the Police Commission, in
charge of boxing contests, that fight
ers whose names appear on the pro
fessional “list” can not take part in
the ‘‘amateur” four-round bouts.
Langford’s name appears on the Po
lice Commission’s “professional list.”
It was not made clear whether Sam
might box in longer contests, though
it is taken he has been barred from
all bouts.

BASEBALL SUMMARY
C LEVELAND, July 22.—James
McAleer, president of the Bos
ton Americans, refused to dis
cuss the statement of Ban Johnson
given out in New York, in which the
league leader severely criticised Jim
my for his action in releasing Jake
Stahl.
"There is nothing to say on the
Stahl matter," said McAleer.
“The change in the club was pre
cipitated by Stahl himself.
“ 'Are you figuring on making a
change in the managership of the
team.' he asked me in Chicago.
“ 'Not this' season,' I replied.
" 'At the end of the year?’ he asked.
'* 'It is possible there may be a
change then,’ I replied.
•• 'Well, in that case,’ said Stahl.
'I might as well get through now.’
“ 'Do you mean that you wish to
resign?’ I asked.
'Pay me to the end of the sea
son and I’m through,' was the an
swer.
"So I gave him the money he
would have drawn had he gone all
the way through to his release.”
McAleer stated that Carrigan will
continue to manage the Red Sox the
remainder of this season.
"Whether or not he will manage
the team in 1914 depends entirely up
on himself.” said the club president.
McAleer said there was absolutely no
truth in the story that Fielder Jones
had been offered the management of

SEC. FARRELL ISSUES NEW
RULING ON OPTIONAL MEN
AUBURN, N. Y., July 22.—Chair
man Farrell, of the National Board of
Arbitration governing minor base
ball. to-day gave out the following
orders relative to the sale and trad
ing of players among major and
minor leagues:
“All optional agreements must be
exercised on or before August 15.
"The sale or the release of players
within twenty days of the commence
ment of the major league drafting pe
riod or within twenty days of the
close of the season of the club dis
posing of the player is prohibited.
"The sale of a player's release by
one national association to another
shall be null and void against the se
lection- by draft of the player by a
major league club from the selling
club, unless he be in the actual serv
ice of the purchasing club for twenty
days before the opening of the draft
ing season for major league clubs,”
The double play is one of the most
thrilling features of baseball, but there
is nothing particularly thrilling about
the double cross.
It is true that there is no gambling

T O PLAY golf well, one must keep
everlastingly at it. This is a
rather hard thing to do. for «i
golfer may play regularly for a cer
tain length of time, and then not
see a club for a week, or a month.
This is particularly true of the busi
ness man who finds it hard to get out
to play on regular days. The lack
of regular practice adds to the diffi
culty and uncertainty of the first
few shots of one’s game. Golf Is at
all times the most uncertain of
games; perhaps in this uncertainty
lies its fascination.
Early Shots Are Important.
Even the expert can not judge what
scores or strokes the day’s play or
the next round holds for him, but th"
first few shots in a round of golf,
especially the first tee shots, are ap’
to be Indicative of the day's play.
The first drive Is usually played to a
gallery, either of spectators or wait
ing players, and for that reason I
have formulated a few rules which
I endeavor to use when I play a new
course, or hit my first balls after an
absence from the game.
Judgment of # distance does not
Reading the newspapers, one is led to
believe that as pugilists those Cards are
great little ball players.
One is glad to learn from Ban John
son that the gents who control baseball
are actuated by a spirit of philanthropy.
But it would be hard to convince Artie
Hofman or Mordecai Brown of said fact.

The foreign wrestler sits.
And frequently a smile of glee
Across his visage flits.

And sings: **Whcn Autumn breezes

takes great care in the hitting of the
first few shots, he will find the path
around the course much smoother
than If he is careless and misses the
first few. A player should learn to
hit a ball fairly and squarely, so that
the muscles will work in rhythmical
assistance. I have frequently gone
along teeing and heeling my shots
and then at last struck a square blow,
and at once felt my muscles* respond
to the clean impact.
Player Should Study Shots.
I am a firm believer in the habit of
hitting a few practice shots before
starting to play, and my chief rule is:
Keep your eye on the ball and see
that your clubhead traverses th*
imaginary line to the hole.
Judge John Barton Payne once said
to me:
“Every shot should be made as if
one were making his will.”
That is not putting It too strong.
