Ab far as I know, the author of the article is not engaged in teaching golf. In fact, most of his'knowledge of the game, I am told, is decidedly second-hand, yetrhis writing has been accepted by’a limited number of people. In mjore than 20 years 1 haven’t found one normal person, regard lea; of age or size, who could not learn to play a good game of golf properly taught. In teaching I take a particular interest in the pupil who seems hopeless, the individual I know other teachers have failed to help.

Tony Canzoneri Barney Ro.. and after that? ... in this comer ; the logical answer seems to be Bar ney Ross . . . Tony is entitled to a crack at the welterweight cham pionship if any battler ever was. What to Expect? Ib might be that Canzoneri, who couldn’t beat Ross as a lightweight, would wallop him as a welter . . . it will be remembered that the Ross-Canzoneri fights were very, very close . . . and after what the little New Orleans Italian showed against McUarnin, you almost wonder if he isn’t getting better, instead of preparing to knock off and call it a good day’s work done, as boys past 30 are expected to do. The winner of the 500-mile Me morial Day race at Indianapolit will be Wil'd Bill Cummings, who copped the petrol derby in 1934 . . , we’re just passing along a tip from Peter D Paolo, little ex-champion driver, who deems Bill tops among the heavy-footed robots of the roar ing road ...

Jewel Barnes scored home runs in second and fifth, making a total of six for The Daily Times. These thrilling four-baggers together with numerous other one, two and three-base hits, gave the boys a total of 18 runs to a score of 10 for the All-Stars. The playing was sensational on both sides. Scintilating plays, too many for the space to mention them, one’s head would get in a whirl try ing to keep record of them. But we did keep in mind several of these, especially the team-work be tween the third and first basemen for The Daily Times team. On three oc casions when hits were made by the opponents toward the left field, low enough to be stopped on third, and by swift throws to first, the runner was out on a hit that would ordinari ly be at least a single. We noticed a decided improvement in the fielding for The Times, very few fumbles, and many good catches were made. Melvin Lee can always be depende d upon for ths kind of work in left field. Incidentally yesterday’s victory was the third straight one for The Times boys. A game is scheduled this afternoon between The Times and The Wash ington Squares at 6:30 at Bay street square. “CHICK” EVANS PLANS FINAL SHOT AT TITLE BALTUSROL TOURNEY CHICAGO, May 14 (TP)—“Chick’’ Evans said today he is going to take just one more shot at championship golf.

Said “Chick": “It’s great to have another fling at the old title. But this is my last effort. I’m going to be just another week-end golfer after the tournament at Baltusrol next month." Evans, long one of the world's out standing amateur golfers, is a Chicago business man. FOUR BALL TOURNEY ENTERS FINAL STAGE The play in the General Oglethorpe four ball tournament, sponsored by Frank Stevenson, moved into the final stages yesterday when the Weichselbaum-Smlth team overcame an early lead of the Lippett-Space duo and defeated the latter pair, 5-4.

He was born in the mountainous countryside around Hoytville, Pa. Os course he’s Polish. The Cardinal management needed a boy to replace the injured Bill De lancey, who has temporarily retired.

ARTHUR, THE GREAT, LOOKING FOR A JOB CHICAGO, May 14 (TP) “Arthur the Great” Shires, the former big league baseball play er came to Chicago today looking for a job. Shires first attracted attention while playing first base for the Chicago White Sox. He was one of the most boastful players in the game. He gained a certain popularity because of his brag ging. Shires also took a fling at pug ilism, but soon found out that as a boxer, he was a good first base man. Shires said he feels he sUll has "a few good games for some team.” Said he: “I’d make a good man for some high class semi-pro outfit. I’m going to try and get a tryout with some Chi cago team.” The city of Portland, Ore., was so named by the flip of a coin. The two New Englancers who founded the I city could not decide what to name ' the new village, since one, a native , of Massachusetts, favored Boston. ' and the other, a former resident cf Maine, wanted to call it Portland. Trey flipped a coin, and Maine won the contest. The word Sistine is derived from the Italian Sitino and the Latin Sex- I tus. The Sistine chapel was so named 1 for its founder, Pope Sixtus, IV. ! BEHOLD THE BUSHERS! By WALTER JOHNS (Central Press.) ■l'. Hlf -M /"’Mil Brusie Ogrodowski . » .

Collins now I is . general mnager in the major lea ' gues. Collins now is general manager ! of the Red Sox, and in the last three 1 years has helped in the direction of j Owner Tom Yawkey’s huge invest -1 ments in star players. Collins was b:rn May 2. 1887, in Millerton. N. Y. While stil la stu dent at Columbia university he played a few games for the Athletics under the name of Sullivan, becoming a regular in 1909. When Connie Mack broke up his great 1914 team Collins was sold, to the White Sox for $50.- 000. He played through the crooked world series cf 1919 between the White Sox and Reds, but his name was cleared. In all Eddie played in six world series. Collins was named manager of the Sox in 1924. but in 1927 returned to Philadelphia to coach the Athletics, then growing into championship stature. He was on the As roster not only as coach but player, and his ninch hitting was valuab’e m re than once when the A’s were in a tight • pot. Collins is on the record bor.l’.s for longest service as a player, 25 .ears. He always was a good hitter nis best mark being .365 in 1911. His playlig career ended in 1930. PAGE THREE OPEN SEVEN-GAME STAY AT STADIUM AGAINST COLUMBIA OPEN SEVEN-GAME STAY AGAINST COLUMBIA SENATORS ■ ■ " The Savannah Indians return to day to their home stamping grounds, after a somewhat hectic road trip In which they were on the red side of the ledger too often to suit Bobby LaMiotte, genial general manager of the club. Seeking to regain some of their lost ground suffered at the hands of Aug usta and Jacksonville, the Tribe will open a seven game stay here, start ing with the Columbia Senators and carrying through the first part of next week with the Macon Peaches. Frankly disappointed, with the poor showing of the Tribe on the road, La- Motte has started a series of juggling acts, which he hopes will bring re sults to Savannah's hopes for a win ning combination. Needing pitchers more than anything else, negotia tions have been consummated with the Pittsburg, Pirates and the Scran ton club for a pitcher to help bolster the moundmen of the Indians. Indians Can Hit Showing that thev can hit the ball, the Indians are sadly wanting in the hurling department, and LaMotte stated that the addition of another pitcher to the staff should put the club into the first division of the league. Jake Levy Sterling, righthander of the Indians, will start on the mound today, with Gould taking the reins tomorrow and Harris and Hanley as suming control of the affairs in Sat urday’s doubleheader. Assisted by such hitters as Hines, Lunak, Col burn, Broeckleman, Elliott and Mc- Neil, the Tribe hopes to be within striking distance of the first division when they leave on their next road trip, Thursday. Lose to Tars 7-4 Jacksonville took the last game of their series with the Savannah In dians yesterday when they got to Hargrove, the converted right-fielder for the Tribe for a total of 12 hits to win the game 7-4. Dave Me Kinney, veteran right hander for the Tars was touched fcr eleven hits but kept them scattered, never being in dan ger, with the exception of the sixth Inning when the Indians, led by Lun ak, scored 2 runs. A triple play was started bv Lunak who drove a line drive into the hands of Thomas, little second baseman for the Tars, who pegged to Leitz to catch Colubrji off the bag, who in turn threw to second to catch Moore coming in, featured the game. It was the first triple play recorded for the Sally League this season. Hargrove the right fielder for the Indians who was converted into a pitener, hurled his first 7 full game, but was touched for twelve hits Showing that with a little game ex perience he might become a full fledged nitcher, the former Yemassee 860 a h - scor tog one of the runs in the sixth inning. Led. by Lunak, who got three out of four, V? J ndians had no double in hitting McKinney, but couldn’t bunch the hits when needed to score runs settTn^ n^ y h9d ?
