"Golf's most successful teacher," says "Chick" Evans, The golfer who will get the knack of relaxing thoroughly ia the ad- dress, then starting the club away the ball slowly and easily will discover one of golf's great se- créts, which is that he can sutoma- tically "lock his body" at a ogrtain in a way to say, will be a couple feet back position--"locked'--while he ele vates-the club with his wrist action, A REAL PRO. "Pug" Allen is Golf and Baseball Professional. The Indianapolis club of the Am- erican Association boasts the only all-year-round professional in basé- ball. He is Horace "Pug" Allen, Not only is Allen a corking good ball player but he is one of the lead- ing golf professionals of the country. During the summer months he plays baseball. The moment the season closes he hikes south and takes up his golf work. Last season he was located at the Déland (Fia.) Country Club. Allen is a right-handed thrower but bat# left handed. He occasion- ally shifts to the right side agalust southpaws, but is only fairly success- ful hitting that way. As is usually the case he plays golf right-handed even though he bafs left-handed in baseball, For sqveral fyears Allen, Ilke all other players, has been shooting at] the majors. Unless he gets a trial within the next two years it is prob- able that he will forsake the dia- mond for the golf links. Just before joining the Indianapo- lis club he turned down a flattering offer to take charge of a leading eastern golf olub. - The lure of base- ball and the prospects of making the big show caused him to pass it up. Allen is known as one of the longest hitters from the tee in golf. The Mighty Lefty. Conny Mack sald before the season started that his success this year de- pended upon the work of Lefty Groves, who cost him $100,000. Groves may do better when he for. gets the assignment that was given him, but so far he has been a fall- ure as he had to be removed in his first two starts. He has a reputa- tion for walking most of the batters] that he doesn't strike out. * | when his pitching arm failed him." | Billy Evans Says Manager Eddie Collins of the Chi- cago White Sox is giving much] | thought to one question: What part | | will southpaws play in the American | League this season? It is apparent there is going to be | {a southpaw epidemic in the Ameri-| can. The great success of left-hand- | | ars last season, followed by the sen- | sational work of the veteran south- | paws, Mogridge and Zachary, in the | world series, has created the situa-, | tion. | | In an effort to keep pace with the | {times every American League man- | ager, vés big league manager, has i scoured the highways and byways of | | | baseball for portsiders. . . . { Connie Mack and Ty Cobb, koth | | having designs on the pennant, each | | had six left-handers at the training | camp and most of them are rated as regulars. Every club has at least one star regular, most of them more, except Chicago. Mike Cvengros, the mite left-hander, who at times works brilliantly, is the best bet of the Sox. I put this problem to the White Sox manager. "I have been thinking about that one thing ever since I was appointed manager. My first thought was 1 wouldn't be anywhere unless I, in some way, picked up a dependable left-hander who could be worked in his turn. : "Failing in that, I have tried to view what at first seemed an alarm- ing situation in an entirely different light. "Pitching is, of course, a concern with every manager, but I think there are several who have more to think about in this respect than me, even though I lack left-hand- ers." ------------ A Valuable Hitter. Joe Bush will not only be the Brown's pitching ace this season but | star pinch-hitter as well. | Joe hits right or lefthanders equally well, but likes the southpaws better. When a pinch-hitter is need- ed by the Browns this summer, Bush | will get first call. During the spring training trip | Bush took his turn at bat as one of | the regular players, not as a pitcher. It is customary to allow the pitcher to have batting practice only on the day he is to work. Bush, however, has as much bat- ting practice as Ken Williams, mighty slugger of the Browns. In the games played so far Bush has done better than .500 in the role of pinch-hitter. "Bush takes a natural swing at the ball and has a good eye," says Manager Sisler. "When through as a pitcher he should be as valuable for utility roles as was Joe Wood, In Class by Himself. When baseball fans speak of EIl- mer Smith they usually refer to him as the "only player to ever make a home run in a world series with the bases filled." That's just what Elmer did in the 1920 classic between Cleveland and Brooklyn. He was playing with the Indians at the time, his second en- gagement with that club, Smith is well known throughout the American League, having been! with Boston, Washington and New York besides Cleveland. Thipspring finds him on the roster of the Reds where he hopes to gain a berth in the outfield. A Real Comeback. One of the greatest ninth-inning rallies ever staged in the majors toek place in the opening game of | the 1901 season between Detroit and Milwaukee. For eight sessions that day the Brewers hit the offerings of the. Tyger pitchers to all corners of the | lot and apparently had the tilt sew- ed up with the score standing 13 to 4 when Detroit went to bat in the last halt of the ninth. But a hectic rally, during which Frank Dillon, Tyger first baseman, made two doubles, enabled the De- troiters to count 10 runs and win the old ball game, 14 to 13. ly -------------------- Y.W.H.A., Toronto L.O.B.A. and] Eastern Canadian girls' basketball! champions, leave.

DUNN WANTS NEW SECOND BASEMAN He Is Satisfied That Kane Will Not Fill the Job. Baltimore, Md., April 22.--While hif club was hugging the stoves at Oriole Park to-day, idle for the day the left 1 because of the cold spell, Jack Dunn, manager and owner of the Orioles, renewed his hunt for a second Dase- man. "I'll get a man, but I can't say right now where he is coming from," said Dunn. Good second-sackers are hard to find. "Kane is sick, and I have brought Porter in from the outfield to fill his place.' But I have decided that Kane won't do, anyhow, and I must gét an- other man. I will keep Porter on second no longer than I have to. I want him in the outfield." Dunn has waxed hot and cold on Kane. Be- fore the club went south he said Kane would not do. But failure to | get another man caused him to warm up to Kane. For a time he express- ed confidence in Kane and said he expected him to make good. Then came the announcement that he wasn't satisfied, and was looking for another man. When the season rolled around Kane was on second, and hit so nice- ly the first day that Dunn forgot about & new second baseman. "Kane has fielded his position all right ex- cept in the making of double plays," said Dunn. 'I must have a man who will work with Boley on double plays. Porter is not the best in the world, but he will do for the time be- ing." During the afternoon Dunn had a conference with Merwin Jacobson, who Saturday was transferred to the Jersey City Club, ~ Dunn assured Jacobson he would get the same salary at Jersey City as he had been drawing with the Orioles. Jacobson sald he would go to Jef- sey City to-morrow, but was not sure how soon he would be able to play; he has been sick two weeks. "Jimmy Walsh for Buffalo.
