Amateur Tips

SAYS S. COYELESKIE ' W Pitcher, Cleveland Indians | " ITJ EEP out of the hole. Try to I I have the edge on the batter I I 1 instead of giving him the advantage. If a pitcher is the possessor of control he has a shade on the batsman. Control enables a pitcher to make use of his stuff in the proper manner. Makes it possible tbr him to mix up his style of pitching. Some days I always try to get the first ball over. Opposing players, knowing I use a spitball almost exclusively, always look for it. A fast one occasionally crosses them up. Such a system, however, would not work as a steady diet. The other teams would soon get wise to it. I early discovered that a spitball pitcher, more than any other style, must have control to be successful. I tyorked hard to acquire it. Every pitcher must have control to win. Every pitcher can get it, if he makes the proper effort. PUBLIC LINKS TOURNEY McAleer of Washington, D. C., Breaks Course Record at Dayton. By Time* Special , DAYTON. Ohio. June 25.—Earl McAleer of Washington, D. C. proved the sensation of the national public links golf tourney here Tuesday when he shot TO in his first qualifying round of eighteen holes. Hhe score was one stroke under the course record. The second round of the qualifying was on the program today. Match play will start Thursday. Dick Walsh of New York, 1923 champion, may not qualify. His score of 85 Tuesday put him far down the list. He is handicapped by an inurjed hand. At the end of the first day's competition Washington, D. C., led in the Harding cup four-man team play with a score of 312.

The A. A. race tightened as a result of Tuesday’s struggles over the league. The Indians defeated the Blues here. 6 to 3, while at Louisville the tailend Brewers turned on the Colonels and won, 6 to 4. St. Paul took another beating at Toledo. Ownie Bush’s athletes were stepping on the Colonels' heels today and were less than one game out of the lead. Here’s the way it was previous to the various league contests this afternoon: If the Indians won

Milwaukee was at Louisville again today. In the series wind-up with the Blues here today Manager Bush planned to use Bill Burwell on the mound in an effort to make it four straight over the slipping champions. Manager Good of the K. C. club had Zinn and Caldwell ready for firing-line action. The Blues were desperate today. The defeat Tuesday made the tenth stiaight licking for them. —*i ILL saved the day for the Ini' T T dians Tuesday. The veteran * * relieved Eller in the sixth and blanked the Blues the remainder of the way while the Tribesmen stepped out and won the ball game. Eller had the K. C. sluggers dazzled until the sixth, when a flock Os hits and two sacrifice flies knocked him loose. Eller is vert - popular with the fans and they were pulling for him to win. Perhaps he will gain more strength later and show the stuff for nine inning that he displayed fer five rounds. When Bailey entered the fray. Manager Bush sent him to center, moved Rehg to left and Allen to right. Branom batted for Schupp in the seventh and Dawson finished on the mound for the Blues. In addition to halting the stickwork of the visitors Carmen Hill smacked out a double and drove in a run for the home boys. EHE Indians gathered eleven hits Tuesday and the Blues eight. Rehg. Whelan and Sehmandt hit triples. Whelan played second in the absence of Sicking. Gene Bailey got in the game for the Tribe in the sixth when he batted for Christenbury against Southpaw Schupp. Bailey fanned but he took three “healthies.’ ’ Shortstop Jones for the Indians and Lavan for the Blues played fancy defensive ball. The fans have witnessed some great work in the shortfield during the K. C. series. Beals Becker robbed Allen of a home run in the first inning when he backed against the low left field fence and speared Allen's !rlve as it was about to go through the wire. Becker got two of the visitors’ eight hits. Jess Petty was asked what kind of orders Manager Bush gave him in the fifth inning of the Blue-Tribe game of Monday, when he went to bat with none out and three Indians perched on the sacks. Jess’ reply 1 was: “Ownie told me he’d pull my nose off if I swung at anything.’’ Jess followed orders and got the count three and two before being called out on strikes. Bush feared Petty would hit into a double play. Christie then came up and singled, scoring two men “Everything ended in fine style,” Petty said. “I fanned, Christie got a base hit, two men scored, we won the game—and I still have my nose.”

3CO-YARD DRIVE UNUSUAL ON GOLF LINKS Bv JOE WILLIAMS SPA Sen ice. Writer \ vTI HAT is the record drive for distance in golf? You read much u/ of siege gunners whe habitually slum out 30u yard drives, but T you seldom catch tests were held in the South last win tor with noted professionals, including Havers, the British champion, competing, and in no case did the winning shot measure, anything like 390 vards. We recall a driving contest held at St. Louis several years ago In connection with the amateur championship and the longest wallop was less than 250 yards. In the spring of 1923 a drving competition which ushered in the British open championship at Troon, the winning stroke, roll considered, measured 277 yards. Cyril Tolley, thought by many to be the world's longest amateur driver, competed and had the best carry at 247 yards. Hagen, defending champion at the rime, was fifth on the list with a carry of 248. So 1: may be seen that even the stars do not make a daily practice of lining out 300-yard drives. And yet there have been occasions, duly authenticated, where golf balls nave been driven considerably farther than 300 yards. Just whaC Is the record distance is, and probably always will be, a matter of controversy. The record books show that one E. C. Bliss of England drove a golf ball 445 yards at Hern? Bay, Ereland. in 191 i The circumstances are not set forth. It may be presumed, however, that the fairway sloped and was hard besl les. And this distance is said to have been bettered by an American, one Scott Scnmmell of Trenton. N. J.. who is credited with driving the ninth green at Hot Springs Va.. with one blast, a march of 457 yards. Scammell naturally had every condition in his favor. The wind was behind him, the fairway was Liked, and it was a down-hill poke. Ti e longest shot this writer ever i xtimined at close, personal range was made by Ellsworth Augustus, a young Cleveland giant, at Brookline two summers ago. Augustus drove to within 60 yards of the ninth green, a 130-yard hole, or ‘hereabouts. .Ml during the tourn'-.i ent the second shot to this green was full mas hie blow to Augustus on this occasion it was a mere rrashle-nlblk k flick BRITISH LINKS TITLE ELIGIBLES TAKE REST Five Yankee Golfers Among Field of 87 Stars to Start Play Thursday for Open Crown, By United Press HOY LAKE, England, June 25.—Five of the eight Americans who crossed the Atlantic to compete in the British open golf championship tourney here, qualified for the event and will be among the field of 87 when the title rounds start Thursday morning.

WASHINGTON TOPS LOOP AND SURPRISES NATION Spurt of Cleveland Club Causes Scramble and Seven Teams Are Figured in Running at Present,'* Washington at the top of the American League! Yep, anything can happen these days—and especially in that American League race. No longer can the wise crackers puil that old one —Washington, first in peace, first in war—and last in the American League.

Washington reached the top by defeating the Yankees, Tuesday for the third straight time. Six teams in the major loop have a percentage of .suo or better, and the seventh team Cnicago, is only three games from the ’.509 mark. Some race! Tris’ Team Spurts Connie Mack’s Athletics are the only ones which seem almost hopelessly out of the chase for the flag, and they may come to life at any moment. It is partly due to Cleveland’s sensational spurt that the i. earn a a, e launched. Tris Speaker's clan has been knocking them off without any respect for previous : eputations and as a result climbed from the bottom of the ladder to sixth place. In such a scramble sixth place is within easy striking distance of the top. Washington, which is looking down on the others for the time being, has a percentage of only .552. Treat for Fans It's one of those struggles that the “oldest inhabitants" will talk of in years to come. The fans like it. the magnates like it as the turnstiles click. It’s a big year for the younger of the majors. Every one is all “het" up. The fans are restorting to that time-honored weapon, the pop bottle —the players are quarreling and crabbing. On with the race. Only two games between first place and fifth, and it is nearing the end of dune. If that doesn't satisfy the most hard-boiled fan, he never will be satisfied.
