possibilities. He was a. catcher.
'quraw. quick to form impres-

the way. pronounced Ott a natural
ball player the moment he saw him.
~When I looked the club over at Sara-
sets Fia.. he remarked to me:
“A youngster by the name ocott
1 is the best looking recruit in the
lump. ,1 am afraid he is too light
for a catcher. The outfield may be
his right place. But of one thing I
am positive. he can hit."

hitter but failed. He has delivbred
many a time since. however.
In his first 13 trips to the plate,
young ott has come through with
a base hit on seven different occa-
sions. a most remarkable perform-
ance. Batting better than .500.
merely in the role of pinch-hitter. is
going some.
Another peculiar thing about Ott's
first year in the majors. is that dur-
ing the time he made seven hits in
13 trips to the plate. he has not
once played any position in the field.
lchraw is continuing on the the-
ory that he isn't built for a catcher
and is having him work in the out-
field. where he is showing constant
improvement.
I have it on good authority that
McGraw expects to start him as a
regular in 1027.
Had a very interesting chat the
other day at Boston with Jim Jef-
frles and Tom Sharkey.
The former heavyweight champion
and the near titlcholdor are doing a
stunt in vaudeville and getting away
big.
Like all old-timers. both Jeffries
and Sharkey regret they were not
born about 20 years inter. Both feel
they could have ”taken"‘any of the
present day heavyweights without
much trouble.
At that. both consider Dempsey
the best of the crop and feel he will
be able to defend his title against
any ofthe challengers. despite his
long absence from the ring.
Sharkey has fallen right into the
gestures of the actor. When the
two entered the American League
ball park at Boston. they received
an ovation that must have warmed
their hearts.
Jeffries slipped quietly into his
seat. He appeared embarrassed.
but not “Sailor Tom.” He took at
least 50 ‘bows and as the crowd yell-~
ed for Jeffries. Tom pulled him
frOm his seat to share the plaudits.
0f the two. Jeffrles looks the
more fit. but Sharkey. who always
appeared zv trifie fat because of his
peculiar physique is perhaps the
more rugged.

SEATTLE, July 8.—-If you began
life as a cripple and overcame that
by shot-rpm“ power and learned to
swim— _
And then. just as you were get-
ting among the topnotchers, you fell
and broke your shoulder, and lamed
your arm for life-—
Would you have spunk enough to
come back and try again to be a
champion?
Thomas W. Pierce. Seattle. did.
He had to invent a new swimming
stroke to do it. so that the handicap
of his liimed arm would be nullified.
For months he worked to perfect
the Pierce stroke. The other day he
went out and tested his lnvcntlon.’
He swam the mile in 27:39. four
minutes over the world record!
Not bad for a man born a cripple.
with almost useless legs. and later
with an almost useless arm.
It seems pertinent to say that
good golfers med not load down
their bags with extra clubs whose
grips never see the light of day.
Now the reason is not in the ex-
tra flight of the ball. which distance,
it is true. has been of exceeding
yardage the last few years. ' Much
comes in the power of the club and
tho succcésful search for a club
whose beautiful balenco gives an ex-
tra 10 yards or more.
If you will look over the precious
clubs of star players you will find
that their niashles are the best liked
of all the clubs in the bag. Large.
bladed affairs most of them and
finely tuned to the stiff shaft. With
out n. msshlc of parts I doubt very
much if the present day amateurs or
pros would be ablc to boat par.
It doesn’t seem so very long ago
when we figured on the use of tho
mashle from a distance of not more
than 125 yards. Nowadays it is the
exception when a first-class player
does not look for that club when he
has a shot of up to 175 yards to
make. A brassle plus a mashioiglves
