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.

attack It looked aa If the Macklan artil

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

What might have happened" with Mur

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

' 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

; 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. Even after, be baa passed the
lunging stage he seems to fel that he
must put a lot of energy Into his long

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. STKAIGHT; DRIVE!,
