Superiority On Mound, Be

Garden Shown by A's
Card Infield Holds Palm
By Alan Gould
(Associated Press Sports Editor)
HEW YORK, Bept. 39. (AI-)
Measured by the calibre or pitching
or the yardstick of fielding skill and
experience, the world's champion
Athletics possess a margin ol super
iority over the Cardinals in. defensive
strength for the baseball champion
ship battle.
The National league charhplous
have a faster Infield, featuring the
Trlsch-Oelbcrt combination around
second base. The A's otherwise, have
an edge on the mound, behind the
bat and In the outfield, especially

Sensational Hupport -Lefty
Grove and George Earnahaw,
the twin aces upon whom the hopes
of another quick ' American league
victory are based, always have had
the benefit of sterling support from
their teammates. Inspiration works
both ways when either of these fast
ball fltngers Is on the mound.
It's an old baseball axiom that
Tou can't hit what you can't see"
and at times last October It appeared
some of the Cardinal batsmen were
not properly visualizing the smoke
of Grove and Earnshaw, let alone
penetrating It with any substantial
success. Walberg and Hoyt will form
the second line of pitching defense
for the A's.
The Cardinal twirling defense will
be distinctly a gamble. If Gabby
Street Is forced to rely on Paul Der
ringer and BUI Hallahan, Instead of
Burleigh Grimes and Jesse Haines,
veterans of the Red Bird flock. Der
ringer la a newcomer to series fire,
With Hallahan, it's either a shutout
or a knockout. He blanked the A's

year and was routed In two Innings
the next time.
A's Infield Weaker
The A'a Infield has never been the
club's strongest point. Foxx, for In

though Big Jimmy Is steady. Bishop

of the great defensive second basemen
of all time, Boley, an old reliable,

Cardinals, do not quite measure up

rlvsls. Watklns or Toettger, In right
field for the National leaguers, lack
the experience of the veteran Blng
auiier.
Cochrane Dependable
Mickey Cochrane may have one or

GAB BXJSTREET
APTo
Francis Oulmet Is not only cham
pion of the American amateurs, but
he is also, or rathsr should be,
shining example and pattern to the
rising generation In a very special
department of the game of golf In
which the youngsters, Z regret to say,
are strangely deficient.
That Is the economy of time. In
performing golf shots.
The younger generation for eome
years has .seemed to me to be get
ting slower and slower in golf, while,
according to the people who are as
sumed to know, It has been speeding
up In many directions.
Out on the Pacific coast the
youngsters are especially deliberate:
it was Bobby Jones' one criticism ot
far western golf that the young
plnyers took too much time over
their shots. ' .
. Concentration Fleeting.
It Is. a theory of Bobby's, that It
golfer Is concentrating properly,
such concentration oaunot be kept
at the penk for more than a very
few seconds at a time. It Is best, he
considers, to make up one's . mind
what to do before taking the stance
and then do it promptly.
As to this Increasing practice of
making every putt of more than one
foot .an engineering problem; sur
veying It from both ends and often
both sides; lining It up again and
sgsln .before hitting the ball well,
I couldn't help seeing the contrast
between old Francis Oulmet ana tne
kids In the recent national amateur
championship.
Francis Oulmet Is, and always nas
been, a better putter than 80 per
cent of these gallant youngsters
may ever hope to be. Also, he wsa
approximately twice the age of most
of his five opponent In the cham
pionship.
It Is not unnatural to expect
golfer to slow up a bit with the
passing of the yoarsi Justs as It Is
natural to expect youtn to do exuo
rant and Impetuous.
But tbs kids did all the fussing
around on the green; I think they
averaged at least three times the
period for executing the average
nutt that Oulmet required.
Francis would stand quietly by
while an opponont about half his
age studied and surveyed his putt
from both ends and men posea dock
of the ball for endless seconds, and
then hung over It, before he couia
strike It.
Afterwards hs . would step brlexiy
out behind his ball, look over the
line quickly and sharply from the
putting-end, step up to tne oau, nua
swing the putter with that beautiful
flowing stroke that has beoome one
of the patterns of golf.
peed and Skill,
Perhoos I am awayed by the recol
lection of a more slsshlng school of
youngsters, coming along 10 or 111
years ago Sweetaer and Von Elm
and Knepper and Jones; lsds who
were less ot the civil engineer in
their play.
To be candid, they seemea to me
to play better golf than the young
ster of today. Certainly they played
faster.
Nor do I remember that the class
before them wss noted for delibera
tion Oulmet and Evans and Gard
ner and Guilford and Fowne and
back to Jerry Travers and Walter
TTavers, who were rated the greatest
putters ot their generation perhaps
of all past generations.
Miss 'em quick," old Alex smltn a
advice, still lias much to command
It. Eepeclally to the youngsters
who tuke quite too long about miss
ing their putts.
A "different" wsr book makes It
appearance In "The Cross ot Carl"

Its being "different" and few will

Knute Rockne In Its football wars for
at least two years. In the opinion of
Edgar "Rip" Miller, one of the fam
ous coach's moat outstanding pro
ducts and now head coach of the
Navy.
"Football Is made up, to a large
extent, by psychology," Miller satd.
"The psychology of 'winning this
game for Rock will add the needed
spark for the Irish.
"I know I went out and clawed the
dirt and played like for 'good
old Qlpp' and I never even knew
how to spell his name then. It was
Just that he .had been a great Notre
Dame back and had given his all to
the team before he died.
"That same spirit will go a long
way toward giving Hunk Anderson
the spark ho needs In addition to his
coaching ability In seeking to take
Rock's place."

Vision ' State Crown
The Medford .high school football
team will have it work cut out for
It when It tangles next Saturday
afternoon at Van Scoyoc field, with
Mare h field high. The Coos Bay squad
,has weight and speed, and a veteran
backfleld, and practically the same
team as In 1930.' Marshfleld Is a
tentative aspirant for state cham
pionship honors, and If ' they win,
loud will be the crowing about It
when . It comes time to compare
scores.
In the Mllosevlch brothers, Hazen,
Perry and Edlund, the visitors have
a plunging and forward passing com
bination along with a heavy line.
Point for Pass Defense
The locals, somewhat enthused
over their showing last Saturday, re
sumed practice last night and Coach
Burgher started drilling them for a
forward pass defense, and correcting
the mistakes they made against Cres
cent City. The timing was slow Sat
urday. Several times the line opened
up a big hole, only to have It close
before the ball carrier could get thru
It. The work of eradicating a sur
plus of confidence Is also underway.
If It rains next Saturday, Marsh-
field will have a vantage, as that Is
the ' kind of weather they are used
to. The locals play most of the sea
son on a dry field, and to fool the
weatherman, Coach Burgher wilt do
some practicing with a wet and slick
ball, If the clouds warrant.
The Junior high school In their
game Saturday against the Tiger
Cubs, showed up well and while they
scored no touchdowns, neither did
the foe. They are a big husky bunch
of kids, and provide a lot of likely
looking timber for the senior high.
Fans Oct Double Bill
The two games in an afternoon
idea was tried out for the first time,
and the customers got a lot of foot
ball for their money. It will not
work so well when the Saturdays get
short. The main game did not start
until three o'clock, and was not over
until after five. Businessmen and
clerks can spend two . hours away
from their desks and tasks, but they
can't spend all , afternoon. If the
weather Is a little rough, It is anoth
er factor, along with the early dark
ness.
Many fans feel that the Junior
high games should be played either
Saturday morning or Friday after
noon. They would draw Just an many

NOW PRIESTESSES
BUDDHIST ALTARS
KYOTO, Japan (AP). Japanese
women finally have won the right
to become full-fledged Buddhist
priestesses.
In religious circles this move la
regarded as likely to revolutionize
the priesthood.
Training schools for women priests
have been established in Tokyo and
Kyoto.
The revised regulations apply to
temples under the Jurisdiction of
the Nlshi-Honbanjl of Kyoto, the
largest Buddhist organization In
Japan, and the head organization
of the Shlnshu sect. ' 1
The priestesses will be allowed to
retain their bobbed hair. Instead
of having their heads shaved like
the men. They may use a touch
of face ' powder, too, and perhaps
a suggestion of rouge for the lips.
But their gowns are restricted to
black in order to prevent the pos
sible evils of vanity arising from
garment decorated with gilt foil
or bright colors.
Initiative In bringing about iemi-
nlne priest was taken several years
ago by the Buddhist vyomen's asso
ciation of the Nlehi-Honganjl. This
same organization has now started
a movement for feminine rights
generally.
