CARDINALS ARE MOST AMUSING IN BIG LEAGUES Writer Completes Survey Os Big League Baseball Camps New York. April 6— (U.PJ —Faro-' well to Florida after trouping 873 miles around the grapefruit circuit and looking at nearly 300 ball play ers of varying descriptions: Entertainment — The best show i in the baseball business still is put on by the St. Looey Cardinals and ; Uncle Frankie Frisch, who has plenty of headaches managing them but never gets bored. Remember that afternoon in Saratosa when ] the Cardinals came in for their ! bats und Frisch yelled: "All right, wo might as well hold l class now. You Mize sit here, and you Martin here. Gutteridge you sit here. Have you fellows met each other? You don't act like it. Why don't you say something?' Why don't you say something to the pitcher? Two out and a crip-' pie up at bat and you mess around trying to catch a man off base. : Whnt kind of baseball is that?” Two prizes- remember these two names. Max Macon, a southpaw pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals. and Harry Craft, a fleet-footed center fielder with the Cincinnati' Reds. Macon is one of the smart-, est young pitchers to come up this spring. He has god stuff, good control. When he was with Bloom-. ington a couple of years ago Bur-. leigh Grimes, who managed the ’ club, drove a stake in the middle of the plate and stretched a string out to the pitcher's box. He show-, ed Macon the why and wherefore ! of every pitch. When Macon throws a ball up to the plate now he knows just what he's doing. Craft hit .300 or better in three 1 leagues last year with Waterloo, i Syracuse and Cincinnati. Bill Terry tried hard to get him. Mike j Kelley, who managed him at Syracuse. says he's the fastest player ' in baseball. Bill McKechnie. the ■ dour Scotchman, smiles when he 1 talks of Craft and says: “He has a \ chance to be. not merely a good | player, but a great one.” The sphinx talks —Charlie GehrInger. who has a reputation for his extreme reticence, was sitting outside the Detroit bench waiting to

Professionals spend years perfecting their ' grip, their stance, their swing, nnd , all of the other one thousand and | one things they swear are essen--1 tial. Professionals charge old ladies. : old men. young ladies and young 1 men. five dollars an hour to show 1 them where to place their thumbs 'on the club, their feet on the ; ground, and their hips in the at- ’ mosphere. In my 10 years of writing sports. I the greatest players of the game have told me. not once, but a thousand times, that golf was the most j I delicate of all games. One little 1 deviation, they said, and a man's i game is ruined. 1 believed them. Through my) column. I advocated the taking of! lessons at five dollars per hour In my time I must have sent 73 bankers. 202 furniture salesmen. • i 153 presidents of garden clubs and i I thousands of assorted artisans. I scurrying to a high priced teacher of golf. Today. I openly apologize. I I humble myself. I beg pardon for ■ such a silly misdemeanor. Golf professionals know no more about i the game than you or I do. This i was conclusively proved in the recent Augusta Masters’ tournament.; which was won by one Henry: Picard. Henry Picard is 27. He started I playing golf when he was 11, and I was told that he must use the over- ; lapping grip if he was ever to get anywhere. For 16 years, he used the overlapping grip. It was part and parcel of him. Two weeks ago, he badly bruised his left thumb. I do not want to get technical, but when a man injures his left thumb, he cannot use the overlapping grip. He must find some other way to hold the club. Picard discovered his bad thumb at midnight. At nine the next morning, he entirely changed his manner of gripping the stick. He told himself and hundreds of others that he would not be able to break ' a hundred. His fellow professionals shook their heads and said, in

RULES B. JONES | MUST QUALIFY " No Consideration Given Former Champions By Golf Officials —— i New York, Apr. 6. — LU.PJ —ls . Bobby Jones wants to play in this ’ year's national open championship i , he will have to quality in regular j i sectional rounds just like any , Imashie wielder named Gus. presl-j I dent A. M. Reed of the U. S. golf I association indicated today. I Jones said that he might play, i! in the open at Denver June 9, 10 ‘ ’ and 11 this year if the U. S. G. A. I ■ i would exernp t former champions i 1 from qualifying. "As much as Bobby means to i golf and as much as I'd like to see i him play in the open. 1 hardly see I how the rules could be changed in j time for this year's tournament." Reid said. Reid pointed out that of the 170 | available places. 30 go to the low- j scorers of last year’s champion- j ships. The home club profession- i al also is exempt which leaves 139 | 1 places to divide up among the othI er tournament golfers. "It would hardly be fair to them to exempt a dozen or more former titleholders, reducoing the avail ) able places to around 125." he said, i 1 o — • ♦ j At the Training Camps I By United Pres* ♦ ® Dallas.

Clearwater, Fla. — The Brooklyn , Dodgers and Detroit Tigers meet;, here today for their fourth and last game of the spring. The Tigers need to win today for an even i break in the series.

As experts, who charge five dollars an hour to Instruct old wo-i men. they knew that a man could ’ int change his grip overnight. So] what did Mr. Picard do? All he did was change everything from A to I Z and start hitting the ball better j than he ever did. Using a strange grip, he won the most important tournament next to the open and the P.G.A. There’s only one moral to this story: Golf is a funny game, and never pay your pro more than one dollar for 12 hours of teaching. He's just guessing! (Copyright 1938 by United Press)
