CONNIE MACK'S j FOUND A PUNCH Or a! Least II.- Thinks H-j Has. fiicli Aild# Another to Teams thai Will Give) Yanks a Kim for Pennant. | By JOHN B. FOSTER C.?rt?l. mi. Montgomery. Ala..

Strand and Simmons arc respona I I** '<"? the change In a larce dc yree t lion uh Pirbf.nh la responsible for some of It. Ih"r'' way you can ?pell >our name with too?" ?aid Connie to Illshop, How about N. Ilishop ? the "a" uj Bllent a.* in swat? "The brand for this ranch." savs! Connie, "will ho the double S with J ? bar of Minister slugging swatters J in I lie linger right hand comer. I | almost believe I would put it on the sleev. a of the l>oys shirts only I am afni d somebody might put a per pen- 1 dlcular mark n i? and down and make the Ss look like dollar signs. The' next t la In ? 1 know, somebody's been tryina to pass the shirts for hundred I dollar hill." \lack has Kot what lie has been looking for. for more than five il years, a team that Kives promise of being able to lilt the ball. "It almost se?>tn?'d as if I had not i It last season." lie said with a sigh. 1* or a while we went alon.u as If we J were going to be in the IVKht at th.-il flu uii. ThHi the players bo^un ? nr1 Ket hurt and after _lhey were injured ' they never cam. back. Our hoys I wen- not recuperators. Once pUysi-i cally incapacitated, they lost theirTl pep." Strand can hit and Simmons can ! hit. l or the moment Simmons is j not hitting because he has a boil on his knee and can t move ahout with I any ease. When he tried to run. something tells him what Job said ?/hen he had to run for his chariot. I It is a <|iieer thing about holls and' ball players -the latter always have the former where they are the most effective. Bishop can plav second base. He has had practice and has been taught well. No matter how ?ood he may have looked at haltimore, he looks I better now with Calloway on on. 1 side playini; short an dHauser on the other side pla>lnK first, bishop plv- I ( ots as if he were on roller bearings. 1 Galloway tosses the ball. bishop I doesn't receive It. but simply hands | it along to Hauser at first base and while the umpire is still looking at Galloway, the double play Is over at first. It will take two umpires to watch the Athletics' double plays this year. The average umpire's eye! will never be able to follow this lightning combination of Galloway to bishop to Hauser. Mack has definitely settled on bishop for second, just as T.v Cobb has settled on Pratt for the same post. There are other infield. is . with the S-S outfit but the starting combination, which may unlock an other pennant for Philadelphia is Mauser, first base: bishop, second base; Galloway, shortstop, and Hale, third base. That is speed to speed , to speed. Strand and bishop are not the same size, but they look enough alike that they might well be called Little Joe and blu Joe If their names were Joe. but bishop Is Max and Strand Is Paul. bishop has the beaming face of a boy of IS. com bined with the grip of a man of :so. Strand is more mature. He is wind burned and tanned with good health and when he stands at the plate with i his left hand swatstlck In his grip lie lias both feet well apart and ! looks at the pitcher ,out of the cor ner of his eye. bishop stands murh the same way. Funny that Connie cauuht two who look so much alike and yet came from so far apart. Simmons doesn't hit like either of them but he hits the ball over the fence If the fence is not sufficiently removed from the back of center ed. It Is evident that the large delegation with which the double S Is surrounded Is completely taken with Simmons, and that Simmons Is unite as well taken with his boll but he limps out to the ball field every day to surest that that center field fence bo set s little farther back. Connie has no end of voung pitch ers scattered around, but the old fel low* look so well that they are most likely to stick. Perkins wants to catch every cimn during the season, and Druggy says he objects, but they don't think very much about pitchers nnd catchers around this ranch. They've found a punch.

Cdfeatkor^B ff??fed Peanut Brittle Onr l.h. Pwfkagf 37c i BY LAWRENCE PERRY C*?yr?aftt. I *24, fcy Tkff A?*t?c? isvw iorK, March 14. ? What may. be regarded as a valuable contribu tion to the moot question of lighten-' ing the weight of the present golf ball has been obtained by the writ-j er from the sixteen leadinK profen-. sional players who participated In the recent professional tournament : at Miami. Their opinions run as; follows: Arthur Havers, Urltlsh open cham pion? 1 feel a lighter ball might ' work to the benefit of the game, al though 1 have no objections to the J present standard make. Jimmlc Ockendon. French chain-, pion ? The liKhter ball miKht be a"j good thins but the present make Is1 all right for me. Joe Kirkwood ? A lighter ball would make the game more scienti fic. Mere sluicing would not ?uf-j flc?*. Wind would have to be al-j lowed for. A man would have to know how to cut the ball with the wood to hold the greens. As it Is now, stars can use their mashle nib-l licks or mashies for their second! shots. Jock Hutchison ? If they make the; change to the lighter ball they will i ruin the Kttinf. As for science. I be lieve It in much harder to control a heavier ball than a light one. Every one likes long hitting. Gene Saraien ? One could score better with a light ball. Alao eaaler to control. It would pitch right to the pin and hold the greens easily. A lighter ball putts better than a heavier one. A player has to know how to cut to make the heavier bail hold the green. Walt Hagen ? The fun golf Ilea In long driving. Leading players would not be greatly affected by the lighter ball, but In a wind the average golf er would be lost using a lighter ball, and would never get around. The star Is intent upon a low score but the average player finds more pleas ure in a long drive. He will miss that fun with the lighter ball. Leo Diegel, Bill Melhorn. Macdon ald Smith. Clarence Hackney, Mike Brady and Emmet French are all op posed to the lighter ball on the ground that one of the great fascin ations of golf for the ordinary .play er is long hitting and that the -tight er hall would make low scoring eas ier. BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to H?k about baseball ? If you want a rule interpre ted ? ? If you want to know any thing about a play or playar? __AVclLfi_to JohlL H. Foster. the man who helped make the rules under which the game is played today. If you want a p.erscmal reply enclose a stamped, s?*lf-ed dressed en velope. Otherwise your ques tlon will be answered in this column. Address: John II. Foster, special baseball correspondent of The Daily Advance, SI I World ItuildinK. New York. Question ? Suppose the hark stop in a gu me is only 15 feet from the home plate. What is to he don**? Answer ? Establish a ground rule. Dm* base flat every time the ball gets iwa.v to the backstop. Question? I have been much in terested in trying to find out where ball player? g"t their nick names. Why did they call Anson "Ha by" and why Young the pitcher "Cyl" Answer ? Anson was called "Bn by" beeauso he was a pronouuced and incurnble kicker against deci sions by the umpire and the fans on. the 'first base side In Chicago christ ened him because they liked to kid him. Young got his nickname of "<\v" because his pitching was de scribed by a Cleveland baseball writ er as that of a cyclone, which quick ly shortened through the ball play ers to "Cy". He never was called "Cy" before pitching in Cleveland. Question ? Is it against the rules in amateur baseball for the pitcher to use a spit ball? Answer ? It is but if both captains agree to its use it may be used by both teams. On general principles young pitchers should abstain from the spit ball. It Is worthless from all standpoints and the greatest tax on the arm of any method of deliv ery ever devised. ?.

Rucker & Sheely Company ELIZABETH CITY'S BB8T STORE I The Sportsman *yV*??rCee, (Copyrl|ht. 1124, By Th. Aiviww) New York, March 14.-^-It looks as .if the "woman vote" were against ithe stymie. An informal vote of Kates to-Uie! Woman's (Jolf Asso ciation meeting. held in Boston, 'showed SO favoring its abolition and only three favoring its retention. . It j was decided however, to check up in ! tournaments and see how much it 'influenced results. Men and women alike in their friendly matches do not for the most part, play stymies any more I than they ever did. What constitutes an average golf er? This question has been the top ic of much discussion recently, and several experiments have been made in an effort to And the answer. The largest quota in a recent tournament1 in a Mid-Western city fell between the scores of 105 and 100. From this and other experiments, it is estimat ed from a grand average of thous-l ands of rounds that the average golf er is the one who plays in 105. Subterranean golf courses in the I heart of the bin citi?-s is the latest proposal. President Schultz of the National Association of Building Owners, is author of the Idea, sug gesting that the basements' of some of the huge city skyscrapers be util ized for golf. TALK MAY HURT A BOXER'S HAND And Maybe That's Why of i Heport* That Clark's Dani j ajsed Maulie May Prevent Fight With Berlenhach. By FAIR PLA* I . '{?yfl|>l 1924, By Tb? A??anc#) t New York. March 14. ? Just1 | whence have come reports concern- 1 ,1ns Injuries to Jackie Clark's hands Is a mystery. Out in Newark. New. I Jersey, where Clark opposes Paul' iRerlenbach on St. Patrick's Day. I 'there is a feeling that the false ru- 1 jmor was' inspired t? rival business, .people in New York. On the other hand, more thought- 1 ful fans believe that Clark may have1 I been feeling his way toward a de imand for more money than he is to i I receive. It appears that when the j 'Armory promoters first thought of, \ putting on a Rerlenbach-Clark bout| 'they wired an ofTer to Jackie who. I llike the fighter he is. accepted the! j terms without any effort at dicker- j : Ing. So far so good. Rut the Newark : promoters showed themselves to be" j not so good business men as theyj 'thought they were. They gloated; ! aloud over the terms made with { 'Clark, intimating that had the fight- j ? er balked at the offer, .they had been prepared to make it much more at-, I tractive. This was hardly cricket. Certain-! fly it was not indicative of any great i ! amount of intelligence on the part; i of Jersey promoters. They have, j much to learn, evidently. Can you. j imagine Tex Rickard admitting to1 i anyone that he was nndernn vtn u t ooxer ? They will be lucky out In j I Newark if Clark really doesn't pro jduce a hand done up in bandages.
