I hare no Intention, beloved, reader. Of , (turninr on the sob staff for Mathew aon, uie veteran, for six, eifht and 19 years from now I-expect to be writing . again about what we are writln abdut today Tlx. : Mathewaon " looked better than ever, for he la six years younger inmu rums, ana ir nana has gone back, then Colonel John . -Rockefeller hasn't enough kale left to purchase a short .. . v.; lCBI.. ,' y Plank was far better, yeaterday than In 1905, and of all the games wa' have ever r seen Mathewaon pltoh, thla un- " doubtedly was the greatest.; .The day oeiore ne naa seen the clouting Athletic c,an r the gor aide of Marauard and Crandall, and as he went to battle la the rune he had to win to hold tils peo pl In the fight, the, mala! backstop was on the bench with a spUt paw, a pitcher was playing first and an inflelder out la center field. Granted, that these men did their part, yet the effect of working , such' a fame with ao many rents in hla . team's original lineup . would have " cracked the confidence of almost any - other man. J; . ?,X'-,.i v,,w ' jSui not Mathwion. v For him It merely.- meant a little harder work, a Uttls mors to do, a tougher fight No one see. Ins; that ninth round will ever forget It . After eight Innings wherein both pitch. , ers had destroyed every semblance of an attack It looked aa If the Macklan artil lery had cracked the Giant defense at - "u Btninx singled.' 'Barry bunted, sad when Doyle pegged high and wide to THltse, titers were runners on second apd third and none out 'V.-.A;.. ..,. Hero Mathewaon rose above the oca- slon, and her professor Mack, In our , humble opinion, slandered. ' Through . fine work by Wlltae, Strunk and Barry . wer nailed at the plats aa Lapp and ' Plank pumped snort drives to first base. j Then . Murphy closed the rally with. n easy poke to Mathewaon. ,..;.-" 'ff The second sight In any affair la .of considerably more uas than' the .first . guess, .,; If Flank had filed to the out field? nothing would have t been said. After Lapp failed, with a runner atllt on third and on out the logto of the sltsat tlon was that Mack should rally hla strongest attack and ' rush It to the front , He bad Dan Murphy and Schang under cover and both can hit Here waa tha place ' for the one last desperate charge with the heaviest guns left In the camp. But Connie elected to play things safe, and let Plank go to bat r r , tol TuM to May Safs,-" I What might have happened" with Mur phy and Bchang up never will be known. It strikes us that this was not the ooca. " slon to plajf safely. :' In : rebuttal, for Connie, we ean only say; that? he hat ' won five pennants and two world's se ries, and we never have won even on pennant or one third of one world's se - rtes.' But having a aeond ruees, w propose to Use It, although we admit" we suffered quite a shock when wo saw Plank come to the bat In the place of a pinch hitter with a keener eye and a ' stronger awing; :t-j-v,iVv-'-','!Ji' If Mathewaon' support bad stuck ' with him, I believe he could have blurred "' the Athletics attack for another nine rounds. Ever and anon someone would thump the ball safely, but never when t a runner was In striking distance of home.:. On theae occasions be bad Col -, lias and Baker marked for slaughter, as ' three of his strikeouts were Issued to this great pair. , One outfield fly In the ninth round,' however,; and Plank today would be the hero of the game. Plank pltohed well In 1905. : He pitched better in 1911, and yesterday pltohed the great est- game of the three. He had the Gianta cooked to a brown turn. He had McQraw'a beat batsmen tied In a knot Not until the big upheaval In the, tenth ' dld'ha at last lost heart1;- v..!t,.-.r The . dope waa : scrambled ' ; badly enough, but on the threshold of the third game It la beyond repair A total loss. Mack now' will have to " ' uncover x a youngster, an unknown -quantity in such a (railing fire.; But to offset this wide difference In pitching, McQraw ha lost ' Chief Meyers for the year, and Merkle - la still limping with an ankle puff a. If" iWiltse and McLean continue their ' fine work of yesterday there would be no auseto worry.'

' . , - ; GOLF-Trying to Get Distance Where the longer shots are concerned there Is not the slightest doubt ia my mind that two thirds of our troubles are caused by our making a conscious effort to get Just a little too far, says a writer in the World of Golf. When X say !"our troubles," I mean those of us who still know bow to f oosle more or lesa fre quently,, I .might- have used the word "presalng," which, of course, la the same as trying to do too much, but the novice hears so much about. not pressing that he Is apt to become bored and to regard It merely a parrot cry without s top ing to consider , exactly, what pressing means" to him. ' V ' v ' 4 - ' A wild, fierce lunge at tha ball Is ob viously pressing, and even the veriest tyro knows, and recognises it as such, but there are.' ether ' kinds, of pressing which ars not quite so apparent That la why. I used the phrase TTry- 1ns to get distance." . The average be ginner always appears to me to be en deavoring to get a terrible lenath every time.

A eta, and Tay- lor Streeta. shots, yet after ' two or three f ooxlea he will relate with unconscious humor what a much longer ball be often gets without hitting half so hard.' v That Is, of course, the explanation. When not hitting: hard it Is mucn eaaler to time properly and to get more work with the wrists; consequently, although the physical effort la. leas, the club bead is traveling much quicker at the mo ment: of impact, and when all is said that is the determining factor where length; Is concerned.. ' 1 " Correct timing, wrist action, follow ing through, head steady, 'and any suoh hackneyed advice,. If .followed has the effect. of lmparyng speed to the club head at the psychological moment The novice realties that the clubhead must move quickly, but ' he not infrequently commences . speeding up - In the wrong place. For example. It Is no' use trying to add SO yards to the drive by merely quickening' the movement of the shoul ders.' In like manner It la no use mov ing the upper arm more' rapidly than the lower, and continuing still further, ' it avails nothing . to merely, move the hands, i Tou can drag the hands forward a considerable distance when grasping a club without moving the head of the club an inch. ' r. ... " Therefore, to sura up, as we can get a greater distance only by moving the clubheadqulcker, it behooves us to see that we ao pot put our extra energy Into Just swinging our - shoulders and anna What we want to do is to speed up our wrist notion first then It necea sarlly will move a little more quickly in unison, but In the same way as tha hub of a wheel does hot travel so quickly as the rim. the clubhead must have the greater speed If our mechanism la to be effective. ijjA.
