Foot Work Is Golfing Necessity FOLLOWING THROUGH AND EYING THE BALL COME NEXT

By BILLY EVANS r EEP your eye on the ball. Follow through with your swing. These and a score of other suggestions are a part of golf. Every kind-hearted individual has a bit of advice that he feels suro will improve your game, when, as a matter of fact. It is certain to Injure it. I have r.lways believed that keeping your eye on the hall and following through with your swing were the two principal features of the golf game. • * * RECENTLY as I watched Jock Hutchison drive ball after ball down the fairway of the Miami. Fla., Country Club, getting uncanny accuracy and great distance to each drive, I wondered what he thought about it, what he figured was the basic fundamental of a good golfer. •‘"What is your greatest asset from a golfing point of view?" 1 asked Jock. “Footwork." he replied, as he continued hitting them a mile. Hutchinson is a little fellow, not weighing over 145 pounds, yet he hits a mighty long ball. You wonder how he does it. • * * THAT is the greatest asset \\/ of any golfer?” I asked. ” “Footwork," replied Jack with a smile. "Let me explain,” he continued. “In baseball the fellow who pulls away from the plate never amounts to very much as a hitter. In tennis foot faults are the most annoying of anything that can happen. Nothing will throw a tennis player off his game more quickly than being constantly out of position. In bowling if a player doesn't approach the foul line properly, and isn't lined up with it when he lets the ball go. he isn't going to get much accuracy. It is needless for me to comment on what footwork means to a fighter. (4 IRST you must address rhe 1H ball properly. Yotjr feet must be correct as to distance. Then as you start to swing, the importance of footwork becomes even more manifest. “It is rather difficult for me to try to explain this feature. Any one who has ever tried to play golf knows just what I mean when I refer to foot' ork. Tnose who have never played it have something to think about, because sooner or later most people will play it. * * * 4 4 T 7" IEPINCr your eye on the ball is important. Following through with your swing is more important. Footwork, however, is most important.” There you have Jock Hutchinson's opinion of golf, and Jock is sure a postmaster at the game.

INDIANS IN LAST PLACE AGAIN AS INJURY JINX RETARDS CLUB EFFORTS Tribe Faces Third of Series With Senators With Same Old Handicaps—Eddie Brown’s Batting Average Starts to Bulge. Trouble, trouble, boil and bubble. The depleted Indians skidded down the cellar door again Wednesday. Players in the make-shift line-up are trying 1o keep their heads np. but the patched places are pulling the boys down. The Tribe athletes were ready for another go-around with the Columbus Senators today and the outlook wasn’t encouraging, Jess Petty was about due for the chucking job, but unless he was airtight his chances for victory were of the slim variety.

Old experience counts In the tight placet and the weak links are sure to come to the surface in the defensive pinch. First base, third base and right field are out of order because of necessity and those three spots were poorly defended Wednesday. In addition to handicaps there, Pltchei Carmen Hill didn't have a thing. The veteran is not twirling as of yore. If all Tribe regulars hail bee a in the contest Wednesday victory probably would have been easy for the home team. Palmero, Senator finger, wasn't much. He won because the Indians didn't have their full strength The score was 5 to 3. Seib Tries Outfield Clyde Selb was used in the Tribe right garden Wednesday. Purcell was left out of the line up because of his Inability to hit southpaw flinging. Seib got one hit and a sacri flee, but his outfield work was semipro and his throwing arm was weak. There Is a vast difference in the strength of the Tribe as it stands now and when nil regulars are in position. Little can he expected of the club until Kirke and Campbell return to the line-up. When these two players recover from injuries four positions will he bolstered—first base, third base, catch and right field. Three hits for Eddie Brown Wednesday. The tali hoy's batting average is fattening. Sicking and Whelan many chances Wednesday twenty all told. Sn-k----ing failed to hit in the first two games of the series, hut he Improved defensively The Tribo captain is complaining of a ‘‘same'' leg.

ROPE AND WEIGHT OF BROOKLYN CLUB RUINS HIGH CLASS PITCHERS Ruether, Grimes and Vance Have Taken Medicine After Hurling Great Games —Ebbets Makes Stall at Buying Players,

By United Press NEW YORK, May 3.—Three of tho best pitchers in baseball are wasting their arms on a last place club in the National League and unless something is done they will finish with an average of about .250. Like Nap Rucker, baseball's most tragic example of wasted talent, Dutch Ruether, “Burly” Grimes and Dazzy Vance are going down with the rope and weight of the Brooklyn hail club around their neck. Dutch Ruether Is about the best pitcher In the National League. His presence on any of three other clubs would mean almost a pennant for that MANUAL LOSES FIRS! CONIEST 'Southport Wins pom South Siders in 11-Inning Battle. The Manual Training High School baseball team lost Its first game of the season Wednesday to Southport at Southport In an eleven inning heart-breaker by a score of 8 to 5. Southpo-t counted one run In the first inning and four in the fifth, and did not dent the rubber again until the eleventh inning. Becker who relieved Woempner for Manual on the mound pitched great ball while he was on the hill. Klein, big right-hander of Southport, struck out twenty-one men. He is above the average high school twirler. Manual scored four runs in the fourth inning and tied the count at ! five-all in the ninth inning. A single and double counted tho winning run in the eleventh. Paul Becker and Hare led the hitting for Manual. The team lined up with Whitcomb catching, Wachter. lb; Hare, 2b: Eiehman, 3b.; Snodgrass, ss.: Noll, If.; | Howard, of., and Paul Becker, rs.

outfit. Last Monday at the Polo Grounds Reuther pitched a wonderful game against the Giants. Late in the game his catcher missed a signal, the ball went right through him and the winning run scored from third for the Giants. And Ruether was charged with a wild pitch and the loss of his own game. Tricky Contract To make" It the more disheartening, Ruether has one of these tricky Ebbets contracts by which he gets his money on a "win game” basts. If he wins twenty games he gets his top price and if he wins more he gets a bonus for a certain number of games. Asking him to win twenty games with what the Robins have set up behind him is like asking him to paint the Wooiworth building with an eye lash dauber. Grimes ran into the same thing against the Giants Tuesday. He let the champions down with six hits and saw his game blown In the last inning when his third baseman hurled an easy chance to the stands. Vance came In for his share yesterday when he struck out fifteen Giants and lost his game. Last week the Brooklyn club owners announced that the team had to be rebuilt and a bid of SIOO,OOO was offered the Baltimore Orioles for Joe Boley, the star shortstop of the International League. Such an offer meant nothing because Jack Dunn turned down a bigger bid last winter. Ebbets then turned around and hinted that he would give SIOO,OOO to the Cincinnati Reds for Babe Pinelll, one of the best third basemen in the major leagues. He couldn’t get PineLLi for twice that sum.
