The statement Is made notwith standing the fact that many bnscball men still ennnot see George Gibson's outfit as a serious contender, even If 'they are out in front by two full Ciimes at this stage. The answer Is simple: The Pirates ore making a practice of winning any contest Hint goes longer than the regulation nine innings. Nine times Ihl:; season tln-y have traveled past tho regular cloning time, and in seven Instances they hnvo taken tho de cision.

" lloj Ch iiiumn Andrew, Returns Practice Habit Contains Menace Ily Johnny i'arrell, (As Tola To Artie McGovern) You often hear a remark to the effect, that a prize fighter has left his stamina In his training quarters, and this same theory applies to .the golfer who wastes his best shots on the practice tee. eome practice Is necessary, of course, but hitting balls off a prac tice tee for several hours at a time Is not going to Improve your game. Ten minutes each with the woods, the Irons and the putter. Is a fair amount of practice, but more than half an hour only brings about uti1 necessary physical exhaustion, blis tered hands, and an additional men tal hazard In the realization that your game Is far from perfect. One of the best methods of prac tice is to go out on the course at a time when It la not crowded and f PIft' balls on each hole. This 8'v you an opportunity to study the various shots, different Ilea and distances, and since you play alone. you can uuce your lime ana nci rusn your shots. Sport Slants i Ily Alan J.
