There is little doubt that the East-
drn League is a faster circuit than
its
The reason for
this conclusion is obvious when it
is noted that the six-tines pennant
winning team of the Into—the Balti-
more club—has lost three post sea-
son series with the champions of the .
Eastern loop in as many years.

but from a playing standard
perennial champions prove
-. .1! surpassing the John
Tools loop and the caliber of East
ern League ball is improving yearly,
while the league coffers are becom-
‘ ing fuller.
The Orioles have made a much
better showing in their so-callcd
little world series with the winner of
the Amvrimn Association pennant
than they have with the Eastern
League title holders, so it might be
conclmlcd also that" the Eastern
League is really becoming a. great
minor organization, despite a. much
inferior territory and much smaller
incomn than Ints or the Association.

WEISS SELLS

New Haven Owner Is
Called Master Sales-
man of Eastern
League
NEW HAVEN. Conn., Sept. 30.—
George Weiss, president. of the New
.llarcn Club. clings fast to his title
as the master salesman of. the Edit-
ern League. Regardless of what. his
teams may accomplish over the
course of a season's play. Weiss usu-
ally manages to deliver one or two
athletes to either the majors or
some Class AA league club. He leads
the select circle of Eastern magnate:
in this respect. ’
The most recent deal to be ar~
ranged by the local solon calls to?
the delivery of Catcher Joe Smith
to the New York Giants. Smith
Journey-ed down to the Polo Grounds
a. few days ago to invite the critical
inspection of Manager McGraw. Af-
ter watching the bulky receiver at
close range McGraw decided that he
would take a chance with the play-
or. ngith will report to the Giants
next spring and battle it. out with
other aspiring and prupirlng athlet-
as for a steady Job in fast company.
Among the players who will fur-
nish competition for Smith will be
Mickey Devine, former New Haven
backstop who was recently acquired
by McGraw from the Newark Club
of the International League.
It of course. remains to be seen
if he will be able to make the grade
and there' are many who think he
will. One thing certain is that he
will at least land in Class AA com-
pany if the Giants farm him out.
Has Bea Lock On mums
Smith is he third catcher Wei-s
has grabbe from an Eastern con-
temporary for an investment and
then sold to a big league club Tito
others were Ginger Shinault and
Bill Hargrave. Shinault was dis-
posed of to the Cleveland Club after
a short tenure of office. while Har-
grave went to Washington via the
draft Hargrave still is in the big
show and will cut. in heavily on the
box-office receipt: in the event that
the Senators ease into the World's
Series. Shinault has been doing fine
work for Milwaukee.
Other players sold by Weiss to
the majors include Jimmy Mines.
with the Phillies; Hal Riconda. 3
member of Connie Hook's Athletic
cast. and Frank Woodward. who he.
been in and out of the majors no
less than three times. Last year
Weiss sold Bowman and Osborn to
Pacific Coast League clubs and this
year he got a handsome price by dis-
posing of Sneaks Dowd to the Read-
ing International mu. club. He
also had a deal arranged for Pit-

The man who has given Washing-
ton its b18808: baseball year. Clark
Griffith. started iii-baseball career
as a pitcher with the Blodnington.
Ill. team. He was tlfen 18 years of
ago. His work at Bloominnon drew
attention bud Milwaukee bought
him. The Chicago White 80:: then
grabbed him and Griffith pitched
and managed that club to two pen-
nants. Then he joined the Qomiskey-
Johnson forces organizing the Amer-
ican league and went to New York
in 1903 to manage the first Ameri-
can league club started that».
The following year he came within
e. wild pitch of. winning the‘pennant.
Jack Cbcsbro uncorking that one in
the deciding game with Boston.
Griff remained with the Yanks
until. in the middle of the 1908
season he was let out as pil t in
favor of Kid Elberfeld.
Griff braved fate, the retiring of
Cinci fans and the ficklcnecs of the
Red bosses and accepted the man-
agement of the Cincinnati team in
1909. He held that post until the
close of the 1911 campaign. ‘
The next year Ban Johnson ask-
ed him to assume the management
of the Washington club.
Griffith devoted all his time to
the management of the club up to
the winter of 1919-20 when he and
a Philadelphia business man. Wil-
liam G. Richardson. purchased the
controlling interest in the club an.
Griff became president of it. He then
turned over the actual field manage-
ment to George McBride.

by Wilbert'Rob son's athletes yes-

game of the season from the Braves
by a score of 5 to 1. Dazxy Vance
pitched his teammates to their last
victory and the season's most sensa-
tional hurlor carried his spectacular
work right 'up to the finish mark.
Vance slowed only five scattered
bits and was not scored on until the
ninth. when Thomas hit a home run
inside thopark. Vance fanned nine
men and in the fifth and sixth
frames he; turned in five strike-outs
in succession. He fanned Cunning-
ham, Smith and O'Neil in the fifth
after Tierney led off with a single.
In the sixth Deny struck out Powell.
a. pinch hitter. for his fourth straight
victim and then set down Thomas.
Bancroft broke the streak with a
grounder to Fournler.
Vance finished the greatest season
of his career, with twenty-eight vic-
tories and only six defeats. During
the campaign he pitched 308 2-3

In many ways Bobble Jones. the
‘ new national amateur golf leader,
1 makes the most ideal champion this
country has ever scen. It is claimed
that the true golfer is the man who
can best master the two phases of
the game-——match and m’cdal play.
Jones has repeatedly demonstrated
by the smoothness of his game to be
lthe best medal player in the ama-
teur ranks.
Because of his repeated rebufls
yea after year. it had begun to be
fear .d by his admirers that Bobbie
wasn't cut. out for the hard man to
man match play phase. He had
made his try and been turned back
in seven previous national amateur
meetings. and because of this some
had accused Jones of lacking the
fighting spirit. That is all changed
now. He never had his nerves ‘un-
dcr better control; he never appear-
ed so completely master of the situa-

era who were at Merlon all last week

result of ome advice
from \Valter J. Travis down at Au-
gusta last winter.
throughout the entire
five days of match play last week.
Jones now takes his place with
those other past masters. Jerome
Evans, Jr., all of whom have held
both the open and amteur titles.
Travers was a fighter, never taking
tions. Ouimet and Evans were fam-
cd for their low scoring ability, but
at their best it is doubtful if they
could quite approach tho J es
standard. The British-visiting ay-
do not hesitate to pronounce Jones
as the foremost living amateur.
If there has been one department
of the game above another which
Jones can thank for his latest tri-
umph it is his putting. Never before
as this season, and this may be the
he received
W'hen putting
now Bobby bears his weight on the
left. foot. lets the left hand do the
work in taking the putter back and
then allows the right hand to take
command in stroking the ball. His
grip for this stroke is also different
from the way he holds his clubs for
all other shots.
The fingers of the right hand are
more on the shaft of the club when;
he putts and the wrists are directly
opposite each other. With this grip
there is less tendency to pull the
putt. The wrists follow through
more easily along the line. One of
the most perfectlyvexecuted strokes
seen during the entire championship
was that long approach putt of
Bobbi": at the sixteenth. on the
morning round of the final. It re»
quires the acme of judgment to con-
trol the ball at that distance. yet if
Jones had had the line exactly his
bail would have dropped into the
cup. As it was, it; came to rest only
a. trifle to the left of the hole.
In the decisive match.-as well as
in earlier contests, Jones outclassed
his opponent not. only in the use of
the putter but also on the chip shots
from a few yards off the greens.
These chips were so deadly that they
must have been disconcerting to his
opponents, who. after having gained
a seeming advantage. suddenly found
themselves struggling for halves.
George von Elnf surely had a taste
of this through that final.
