Show OH, LOOKiT; GOLFER WILL TEACH CUBS HOW TO BAT CHICK EVANS. alW A f x i f - . r .' n CHICAGO. Dec. 27. Charles ("Chick ) Evans, Jr., national amateur ana open golf champion, is going to teach batting "form" to members of the Chicago National Na-tional league club. Evans today accepted the invitation of Charles H. Veeghman, president of the club, to make the spring training trip to Pasaceua, Cal. Weegh- man believes Evans's instruction will be of valuable aid. Evans's amateur standing will not be affected, it was explained, as he will not receive any money for his 'sendees. He merely will be a guest of President Weeghman on the trip. Mr. Weegh-man Weegh-man believes that Evans will be able to improve the batting of every player on the team. "There is 'form' in the driving of a golf ball." he said, "but there is none In driving a baseball. Applying the form of golf to baseball was responsible for the wonderful driving power of Frank Schuite and Heinle Zimmerman. It may be argued that Schuite knew nothing about golf, but he unconsciously used the same swing." ' Evans is one of the few expert golfers golf-ers who can drive a ball high or low as he may desire. He is ranked among the longest drivers in the world, although confesses that he never practices with his wooden clubs, as the swing is so easy when the iron clubs have been mastered. |
