‘ . .‘Says Vance,
By NORMAN E. BROWN.
“When you‘re passing out the
glory that goes with being the
strikeout wizard of the big leagues
dish out a. large portion of it to
Hank De Berry."
So said Dazzy Vance. whose wiz-
ardy with a baseball has made him
the sensation of the majors once
more.
Vance was speaking of the quiet
gent who catches him day in and
day out while the Dazzling one
winds 'em about the National league
batters' necks.
"Hank catches them whenever.
wherever and whatever I throw."
said Vance.
Vance might have gone further,
also. and stated that De Berry al-
so gives Mr. Vance considerable
help in figuring out where. "when,
and what to throw.
Catchers Overlooked.
Failure to give catchers due cred-
it for their part. in the development
and success of great pitchers has
always been one of the unfortunate
tendencies in chronicling baseball.
Walter Johnson has always been
frank in 'hls admiration and appre-
ciation of Eddie Alnsmiih's assist-
ance during the heyday of Walt's
career.
Stanley Coveleskle of the Indians,
one of the best pitchers in the game
in his day and one of the Krcatcs‘
spitball artists the game has known,
attributes much of his success to
the brainy support of Steve O'Neill.
now a Red Soxer.
At times other mound stars haw
given credit where credit is dur.
But ordinarily in'the telling of a
eral work of-I hurler no mention is
made of the man behind the plate.
There is no'doubt but what in
Vance’s case De Berry has been n.
\ftal part of the combination. both
from s. mechanical and a psycholo-
gical viewpoint;
and his change of pace make him
‘I. "hard” pitcher to handle. llc
Berry. who once seemed'destined in

NYATI‘. R. L. Sept. 8.——Miss
Mary K. Browne of Santa Monica.
Cal., National lawn tennis champion
in 1912. 1918 and 1914. created one
of the greatest sensations ever re-
corded in golf here yesterday when
she defeated Glenna Collett on her
home course. the Rhode Island
Country Club by 1 up in 19 holes.
The California girl will now meet
Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd. form-
er National champion. in the final
round of 85 holes tomorrow. Mrs.
Hui-d eliminated Mrs. Clarence H.
Vanderbeck. also a former National
title holder. by 2 up and 1 to play.
In defeating Miss Coilett. whose
golf the past few years has been
one of the outstanding features of
recent sports achievements. Miss
Browne gaveone of the finest ex-
hibitions of couragp eve, shown in
any golf tournament in this country.
and in going to the final round of
the national *women's golf cham-
pionship the girl from the Golden
West has proved herself the most
remarkable woman athlete in the
United States.
Only three weeks ago Miss Browne
was struggling for honors in the na-
tional women‘s tennis championship.
She got to the semiofinal round.
where she encountered Miss Helen
Wills and was eliminpted. Thereupon
she got out her golf clubs and pro-
ceeded to get ready for the national
event here. . This is the first time
she has appeared as a competitor in
a. major tournament.
At first the golf devotees here did
not ‘consider her seriously as a con-
tender for the title. but as the tour-
nament progressed and Miss Browne
kcpt toppling over her opponents
with fine golf play the folks here be-
gun to take notice. In every match
she has played to date in this event
she has gone out in 41 strokes. which
is remarkable golf on one of the
best layouts in this section of the
country.
‘Everybodv knew Miss Browne was
a truly remarkable fighter. but none
here quite realized just how stout
the heart of this girl is until they
saw her come from behind and boat
the best woman golfer ever develop-
ed in this country.
Through the entire contest Miss
Browne was never up. For the most
part she was down. Yet she never
lost any of her aggressiveness and
always she was the same cool and
