There isan interesting sldeliirht
in Glenna Collett's effort to lift
the British amateur womens golf
crown. that is worthy of mention.
Glenna was eliminated from the
tourney in the third round by Miss
‘ Joyce Wethered. rated of recent
seasons as Great Br'ltains greatest
. golfer. The defeat was not. unex-
pected. It was Miss Collett's first
- attempt to win the British title. It
was her first important tourney on
foreign soil And Miss Wethe1cd‘s
play has marked her as one of the
greatest feminine players in the
' game‘s histmy.
' ;.But her friends and American
‘ golfing enthusiasts in. general
would have liked to have seen Miss
Collett in the finals. And this
thought brings out the fact that
_ conditions governing the tourney
; ‘doubled the obstacles in her path to
the finals and victory in the final.
. Miss Collett and Miss Wetherod
were in one “bracket" in the early
rounds. Miss Cecil Leitch was
placed in the other bracket.
This arrangement automatically
gave Great Britain two chances to
defeat the American girl.- Had
, Miss Collett triumphed over Miss
' Wethercd she would haxe been
forced to defeat Miss Leitch in the
final round. as Miss Leitch won all
matches in her climb to the finals.
Little thought was entertained that
she faced real opposition before the
finals.
The elimination of Miss Collett
automatically gave England the
so. leading contenders—one in
condition might have been altered.
The sporting thing to have done
would have been to let Miss Weth-
cred and Miss Lellch play for the
honor of meeting the stranger from
the strange land.
However. Miss Collctt learned
much in the tourney. and by the
time another year rolls around will
have perfected her tournament play
considerably. Till then.

Good Arm Vital to Baseball But
Two “Crooked Wings" Succeed
- 1
By NORMAN BROWN.
It is a tradition of bascbail that
a. man must have a good arm to suc-
coed.
Many players have won fame in
the" diamond ' sport. without a. good
batting Icye simply because they
boasted powerful and accurate
whips. .
Some. of course. have shone .be-
cause of their batting ability pri-
marily despite other shortcomings.
But the number of hard hitters with
bum wings is much smaller than the
number of poor throwers
Donnie Bush and Oscar \‘ilt are
two examples of men who climbed
the heights and stayed there with-
out lhe aid of a big but. simply be-
cause they had wonderful whips. .
Joe Birmingham. old Cleveland
centerfielder and later manager of
the team. was one of the , greatest n)
outfieldcrs of all time. And , the
sweetest tribute ever paid him was
that he could “throw strikes from
the outfield." so perfect was his aim
and strong his arm.
Birmy could heave a ball. from
deep center in a wide sweeping are
that would carry it right into the
waiting glove of‘the catcher a she
knelt at the plate to check the run:
nor.
But to get back to good arms.
In the face of all tradition there
are two men making names for
themselves innbaseball today who.
by all the lawa of tradition, should
be out of it.
They are Riggs Stephenson. utility
slugger do him of the Indians. and
Russell Miller..star pitcher of the
Ohio State Univenltyninc. ”
Stephenson broke hlsarm playing
football at theI‘IUniversity of Ala-
bama. The break mended poorly.
The “curve". in Itevie's' arm is no-
ticeable as it hangs at his'slde. . He
cannot "whip” ‘an underhand throw
us infieldcrs must do frequently and
yet his ability to snag infield hits“.
his dash and fire and his hitting
ability caused Manager Speaker of
the Indians-to play him.at second
for some time last year and in 1023.
When the need of his service in
the infield ended Steve's terrific
clouting causedhianager Speaker to
shift him to the outfield. His speed
in fielding and his ability to judge
batters and play them enabled him
to hold down the outfield berth ac-
coptably despite the fact that his
"when" was a bit. short. 1
Miller. who comes from a family
of ball players. is even a more re-
markable character on the diamond
in that he essays to pitch .with a
"crooked" arm caused by 11 fall.
Miller has the entire repertoire
of the average pitcher and has had
remarkable success with the Ohio
110.
All of which goes to prove that
after all the heart may have as
much to do with it as the arm.

bert Robinson. who at a meeting of
the stockholders of the Brooklyn
Baseball Glut». hold yesterday in
Broolen. was made president of the
organization. has appointed Zack
Wheat to act :as assistant manager
of the team for the balance of the
playing season. Wheat succeeded the
late Jake Daubert as captain of the
club in 1019. Robbie also abnounced
that Jack Fournicr, first baseman,
has been elected to succeed Wheat as
field captain.
Robbie came
after the meeting and wasaslhappy
as a school boy. When he ‘learned
that the scheduled game'wlth the
Phillies had been postponed on ac-
count of rain he called Fournier to
his room at the hotel in which the
club makes its headquarters and in-
formed him of his promotion to the
captaincy. Wheat was not here. He
had returned to his home in Brook-
lyn as soon as the game was post-
poned.
The new president of tho Robins
said that he would not put_Whoat in

and this year. However. he intimated
that if Wheat. as assistant manager.
displayed real managerial ability he
would make him manager next year.

“I will still not as manager. 1 will
