Show 1 (Copyright. 19 22. New York Tribune.) Jess Wlllard should have waited anther year, when by that time he, Jaek Johnson nnd Jim Jeffries could put on an elimination contest to name Demi'-ey's main oopum-nt i'nr 1?23 1 h FHINGS 10 REMEMBER I Pi ;olf 1 WTien some one skies his shot : always say "That's tho highest " 2. On finding your ball In a trap ! nea- the green don't fall to remark "1 thought I had a good one." 3. On missing a short putt casually remark upon tho rough texture of tho greens.

If your opponent or partner I plays one or two bad shots start in 1 giving him a lesson for the rest of the round I "According to one erpert," says an 1 exchange, 'modern glove fights bring 1 out points which were unknown to old-time fighters It has been ob- 1 served, for Instance, that a knock-out ' blow with a glove is apt to develop unsuspected literary talent in a professional pro-fessional pugilist " And sometimes we ! get the development of the same quaint talent from a hall player after a flock of home runs or under the stress of a world's series. One can never tell when the strain and stress of contest will force one to rush for the first fountain pen in sight. "Stuffy" MInnls retrained himself i for thirteen years in regard to urn-; urn-; pircs. but caved in at last beneath the I strain. It is not known whether he said everything he load been saving up for all these years or only disposed of a small but select portion of it. PAGING DOC HOLMES This pttchlng-batting situation in 'baseball in the most complicated mis- ture over known. One day pitchers flood the! 1 scenery with ho-hlt or two-hits game? By the next day a flock of bat9men 'are pounding out home runs and, triples for double-figure scores. There are now f.ur clubs which have b-en consistently over the , 3 0 j mark all spring and many others are ! up around .290. The crop of home ' runs ls at least normal Yet there have been many more brilliantly pitch-1 ed games to date than any season has , known for some time. Tho inconsistency has been marked, tearing the dope to shreds in many I places. CLEVELAND'S TROUBLE Cleveland is again playing pennant winning ball everywhere except, around ..he box. The Indians ae scoring more than I their share of runs, but hostile forces are scoring more, Unless Speaker's! pc-cMiiis scan seiiies soon ne will na - little or no chance to cope, with ihe Yankees and Browns, who have tin-punch tin-punch and much better pitching to help them out. It was an almo.-t complete com-plete pitching collapse that cost Cleveland Cleve-land her chance last fall whore Ave or six runs per day were not enough to carry her safely over the shoals- THE BATTLE OF BILLS Back around 1919 Bill Johnston won Crom Bill Tllden at Forest Hills In a battle that brought the Californlan .'ijcuin to the lop. In lsL'o and 1921 TUden reversed the outcome, but the inar;ti wa never nev-er wide enough to be decisive. R was quite enough to leave Tilden as the premier tennis player of the world, however. Now in tho fourth year of their rivalry riv-alry Little Bill opens the season by first crushing young Richards and then stopping Tllden In a five-set test, proof enough that the Californlan has not slipped and that he again will bs a rival factor in the 'GermantOWU mer-tlng.
