Kauffman Expected to Annex Public Links Title Third Consecutive Year

With the Sandlotters

Ihad a funny letter the other day It was from a kid upstate New York and It wound up as follows: “What does it take to make a good ball player. Babe?"

That's a tough question to answer—and I guess it will take a better man than I am to make a satisfactory reply. I asked some of the boys down on the bench—a n and they all kidded about it. “Tell him a good pair of feet, broad shoulders

and nothing in the head,” Waite Hoyt said. Kidding on the square though, it takes about the same things to be a success as a ball player that it takes to succeed in any other line. And the most important thing of all is a real love of the game. The physical side is important of course, but you find a lot of frail, small chaps in the big leagues. It takes a good disposition; the winning spirit and a willingness to keep plugging. Then it takes speed, keenness of eye, strength to keep going and the desire to succeed. To my mind the ideal chaps as ball players are fellows like Earl

Combs and Charley Jamieson. And the reason that, they're fighters—making the most always of what they've got, You know the fellow who has only 75 per cent ability and makes use of all of it is a better ball player than the chap who has 109 per cent ability and only uses or develops 50 per cent of what he has. There are fellows in the big leagues today who could be stars if they only wanted to. But they’re content to drift along, just getting by. There are other fellows on the other hand who are limited in their ability but who rank as stars just because they’re plugging every minute. There's no need mentioning names. Every fan knows which is which. But answering that kid's letter, it strikes me that the most important thing there is about baseball is simply playing the game hard and for all you’ve got. Nobody yet ever failed because they tried too hard—and there have been a lot who fell down because they “dogged it,” when the going got rough. A lot of people think I’ve been lucky m baseball. Probably I have. I probably was lucky enough to be born with a good physique and some natural ability. But there’s one thing else I can say for myself. I love to play baseball—and one thing no one will ever criticise me for. Tm always trying. (Copyright, 1929, by The Times)

Score of 70 Thursday Gives Champion Edge at St. Louis. YOUNG PLAYERS SHINE 16 and 18-Year-Oids Put Up Battle. BY RALPH L. SANDERS United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.—Carl Kauffman, veteran champion from Pittsburgh, was favored to win the national public links title for the third successive year as third-round match play in the tournament got underway here today. The 1929 battle for supremacy in the largest group of golfers in the United States has become a battle between three steady veterans and ! five erratic, but brilliant youngsters.! Turns in 70 Kauffman won the favor of dopesters when he went around in 70 in the second round Thursday afternoon to defeat John Conway, Detroit, who conceded the match at the fourteenth hol£. John Horsby, Topeka, and John M. Boyd, Philadelphia, were left with Kauffman to defend age against youth. And “youth” in this case doesn’t mean men approaching thirty who after years of practice on local courts finally won the chance to participate in public links championship. Lad of 16 There's Mortimer Jaffee, 16, champion of the village of Hudson, N. Y., who, Oldsters said, couldn’t possibly be steady enough to have a chance. Frank Connolly, Detroit, 18. won two matches on the eighteenth green Thursday to show his steadiness. He played even-up for seventeen holes with Guy McCall, Buffalo, and Frank Brokl, St. Paul, then out-putted each to win, 1 up, in the final tangle. Gordon Denny, Louisville, Kentucky amateur state champion, defeated Harold Cook, Toledo, 2 and 1, Thursday morning, but was forced to play a nineteenth hole to eliminate Dr. I. R. Davis, St. Louis, in the Thursday afternoon round. Defeats Team Mate Wesley Casper, Louisville, was forced to beat a member of his own team in the second round, pairing witn Connell Kersey of the same city Milton Soncrant, Toledo, who tied with Kauffman and Patsy Tiso of New York for medalist honors, in the qualifying rounds, seems likely as any to unseat the veteran champion. Tiso was eliminated by Hornsby of Topeka after two extra holes in the afternoon match Thursday. ‘RosyKid’Coming Back on Tuesday Program at Fort Captain Frank Schucker, matchmaker at Ft. Harrison, has his card nearly completed for next Tuesday’s fistic show at the outdoor “punch bowl.” in the main go Jac McKenna, Canadian middleweight, will brush gloves with Young Jack Dillon, Louisville, over the ten-round route, and in the eight-round semifinal Rosy (Kid) Baker, Anderson slugger, will be brought back with Mutt Marsch, Cincinnati. These aggressive punchers staged a lively six-rounder last Tuesday. Marsch proved better than the fans figured and gave Baker a stiff fight. Ther good work has been rewarded by moving them up to the semi-windup. In the four-rounder Tuesday Billy Powers, Indianapolis, will battle Jack Clore of Crawfordsville. The two six-round bouts have not been filled yet. Tony Celmars will appear in one of the “sixes.” MOLINE SELLS INFIELDER MOLINE, 111., Aug. 9.—The management of the Moline club of the Mississippi Valley League has announced the sale of Keith Molesworth, shortstop, to the Wacon club of the Texas League.
