GOLF CHAMPION
MAKES HIS DEBUT
AS MOVIE ACTOR
By m Service
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. March :1.-—
Like all champions. Walter Hagen.
golfer extraordinary. has gone into the
movies.
For the past month Hagen has
given up the golf game as a business
for that of a movie actor.
It is generally believed that Hagen‘s
debut into filmdom was to he of an
educational nature. The impression
prevailed that he would merely show
the proper way to make various shots.
also the incorrect way. and that the
pictures would be slowed up so that
every golf enthusiast would have a
chance to help his game.
College coaches in football and row-
ing have found the movies of great
aid in perfecting form. Slow motion
pictures are made of the men in ac-
tion. and then the faults pointed out
as the pictures are thrown on the
screen.
There is no reason why such a.
stunt wouldn’t go big in golf. particu—
larly with Hagen doing the stuff.
However. it is said that Hagen has
been playing the lead in a regular
feature picture in which golf plays
only a minor part.

BY BILLIE EVANS
CLEARWATER. Fla.. March 81.—
Managcr \Vilbert Robinson of the
Brooklyn Nationals appears to have
the biggest task of any of the major
league managers. '
With the exception of his pitching
staff. Robbie hasn't a thing to boast
about. In discussing the situation
with the Brooklyn leader be about
summed up his situation when he re-
marked:
"The way things new line up my
club dosn't present much of a. front.‘
it's just a good minor league team."
The usual number of holdouts have
hampered Robbie from using his full
strength. Zach Wheat is among the
absentees. as is Third Baseman High.
also Jack Fournier. secured in the
trade with St. Louis for Bi Myers.
If these three players were on hand
Manager Robinson might again wear
his broad smile. At present Robbie
hasn’t had much to enthuse over and
the smile has been conspicuously
missing.
When I looked over the Dodgers in
action few of the men in the lineup
were familiar to me. In the game
with the Boston Braves the entire in-
iicld with the exception of Jimmy
Johnston was made up of recruits.
Three youngsters from the Southern
Association. with the addition of
Johnston. comprised the infield.
Stewart. with Birmingham last year.
was at second; Mullen. with Mobile.
at third. and Schleibner of Little Rock,
at first.
Stewart looked right promising
despite the fact that this is his third
chance in the majors. Pittsburg
and St. Louis of the National League
had him for a time. but he never got
much of a chance. Weakness at the
bat was given as the reason for his
failure to stick.
Stewart handles himself nicely in
the field. and looks like a mighty
good base runner. provided he can
get on enough to take advantage of
his speed. He. hit an even .300 in
the Southern Association last year..
If he can hit within 30 points of
that mark he should help Brooklyn.
I-‘rcd Schleibncr. a husky chap,
will hold down first. unirsa lc‘mirnier
reports. Schleibner wont big in the
south. leading the Southern in hitting
with a mark of .854.
As yet the big fellow has not im-
pressed with his hitting despite his
imposing swat average of last year.
He says that he is a late starter.
The records of the Seuthern Aeso-
citatlon boar out that statement. 17p
to July 4 last year Schiicliner was
hitting about .180, yet he topped the
organisation in hitting. He just
couldn't be stopped the last two
months.
