George Sisler s Condition Hard to Understand Star of St. Louis Club Strick en Down With the Best Years of His Career Before Him. EW YORK, Jan. 12. — Mysteri ous, and for a long time unan nounced, wai the striking down of Sisler, of St. Louis, last year during the off season. It was a thing that base ball followers found hard to realize. On the field he had al ways been the picture of stal wart health and It was known that he always took the best of care of himself. Yet here he was, young, strong, intelligent, and a brilliant pjjyer, stricken down with the best —ars of his career before him while old timers who had been breaking for the past two or three years continued merrily along. Sisler had developed some sort of eye trouble following on the heels of influenza. Double vision, partial blindness, and numerous other de scriptions of it drifted east. Finally it became pretty definitely estab lished that his right eye was crossed. The reports which have come from St. Louis of late have it ^iat the eye refused to respond to any of the treatments afforded by the doctors. Towards the end of last season It was reported that the eyes of the great player were improving. He was able to drive his automobile and play golf, and there was no doubt ex pressed but that he would be back in the game In 1924. But the silence and lack of announcements from St. Louis, coupled with the reports from the same place, make it appear that the great first baseman is through unless some eudden Improvement takes place. Giants Used More Pitchers New York, Jan. 12 —If John Mc Graw Is to gratify his ambition and win his fourth successive pennant. It Is doubtful If he can do It with his present pitching staff, says an ex pert. The. recent official averages of the National league merely empha sizes the weakness of ths Giants in twirling department. There Is a lot of common sense In the remark of Charles A. Stoneham, Giant president, that his club needs two or three pitchers more than It needs Hornsby. Since the close of the season Joe Oeschger, the former Brave, has been added to the Giant staff, while sev eral prospects have been picked up. The best of the lot Is Maun, a young ster sent up by Frank Isbell, the for mer White Sox infielder, now owner of the Wichita team. But It Is a jump from the Western league to the majors, and Maun probably will need a lot of polishing despite reports that he is a second Mathewson. Practically every pitcher on Me Gtaw's Club Is a gamble for 1924. McC.raw has no way of telling what he can expect from any man on the staff. Nehf pitched great ball In the world series, until his eighth Inning blowout In the last game, but Nehf always had It on the Yanks, and we can’t lose sight of the fact that he took part In only seven -complete games last season. Oakland Signs George Foster. Oakland, Cal., Jan. 12.—The Ooak land Baseball club has signed George Foster, former Boston Red Sox pitch er, who played with the Vernon Pa ciftc Coast league club In 1923. It was announced here today. The Fort Bliss polo teiun fell be fore the San Antonio teem yester day at San Antonio, Id to IB. Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Pains or Bladder is Irritated. Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a neted au ttiority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys In their efforts, to expel It from the blood.

Frisch’s second base play was a feature of 19J3 and he ranked high among the hit ters. But ho ranked higher still as player of character, spirit and brains. These attributes count more than just skill nowadays, according to John McGraw, master of baseball men. JtatUc fftisck Tales of a Wayside Tee -By GRAXTLAND RICE. STARS AND FEATURE STROKES. No. 1—The Drive. Thero are just three details which go to make up fit^e wooden club play. Including the drive and the brassle. They follow In this order: 1. Direction and control. 2. Distance. 3. Consistency. It Is upon this basis that we are going to take up the wooden club play of leading golfers that we have seen and studied. Who are the best? And why the they best? A rather extended list might In clude the following: Abe Mitchell, Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Arthur Havers, Bob McDonald, Walter Ha gen, Jim Barnes, George Duncan and several others. There are many fine wooden club players In the land, but we are going to restrict our list to three men. They Include Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazpn and Abe Mitchell. And, for all round wooden club play excellence. w» believe that Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen lead the field. Neither has anything on Abe Mitchell for long, straight snd consistent driving. But both Jones and Sarazen aro surer with both drive and brassle. Jones and Sarazen. Wethered, Tolley, Mitchell and Mc Donald are four of the longest hitters we have ever seen. They are among the sons of the mighty when It comes to getting dis tance. From these four McDonald and Mitchell are surer than Tolley or Wethered. But they are no longer. We have never seen any one hit a golf ball further than Tolley, Weth ered and Guilford. Wo measured one Guilford drive that carried SOS yards. We saw Tol ley at Brookline after two days’ rain, with a soft course, reach a 630-yard hole with a drive and a spoon, uslnc a spoon because he had a downhill lie, with the green 270 yards away. But for direction, dlstanre and con sistency with a wooden club, driver and brassle, ws have not seen any one auperlor to Bobby Jones and Gene Baraxen. Jones Is not only long, but remark ably straight. He Is rarely In trouble off the tee and he le at hie best when he has a full braasls shot to piny for the green. At Inwood In the laet open he was one of the few who was willing to go for a olosely bunkered greens with wood, most of the leading profession als and all the aipateurs using Irons on the longer shots. Two Stars. Jones and Saraxen are something more than brilliant In this respect. They are also conalstent. We have already told how Serazen reached the last hole at Pelham, 274 yards, nine consecutive times. In addition to this. Sarazen repeat edly reached holes from 500 to 530 ynrds In two strokes—a drive and a long hrassle straight to the green. It was this proficiency In wooden club play which lielped him to heat Hagen again We doubt that any other golfer, ex cept possibly Jones, could have kept consistently reaching these long holes In two shots. these can keep hitting drives and hrassle shots straight and far above any golfers we have ever seen. ICven with close lies, under heavy streas, we have seen both repeatedly play hrassle shQls straight upon the pin, 250 yards awsy. It wse this shot which won ths open for Rarazen at Skokie. His last full stroke van a hrassle shot to a well guarded green 250 yerds awsy. and the ball etnpped 15 feet from the cup. Their Styles. Both Jones and Sarazen are In clined to he stocky, Sarazen extreme ly so. Neither le over 5 feet 3. Jones uses the equare stsnre, with both feet on a line, Sarazen has a wide open stance, with the right foot well In advance of the lef' With both It Is a matter of perfect timing and confidence. They are not afraid of the long brassle to a well-guarded green from a close lie. Both have fine body control and play their long shots without any signs of visible effort. Yet never get the Impression that either Is struggling or using extra exertion. They simply step up and lay Into the ball, with the body firm and un der fine control, all swaying abol ished. Where majiy stars, for greater safe ty and surer control, will use a long iron, these two go for the wood If It Is a case of reaching the green. Jones was the best wooden club player we saw operate at Inwood, one of the longest of the courses. Sarnzen in most of his big matches against such stars as Hagen, Barnes and Hutchinson kept planting his long brassle seconds on the green af ter fine drives. It was not that he was longer, but he was just ns long, and stralghter and surer. Abe Mitchell Is a marvel from the tee. But Abe Is not quite up to cither with the wood through the fairway. Arthur Havers Is another great wooden club player whose work against Sarazen In California will be one of the most Interesting events of the year. Copyright. 1124.

Seth of Jones Stock Farm Contending Strongly for Honors of Being the Greatest of Sires Seth, whose name is borne by a multitude of thoroughbreds on the race tracks of America, is contending strongly for the honor of being one of the greatest sires of the country today. Each year the Jones Updike stud has shown his worth. Each year new colts hearing the Seth name add honors to the stable rolls. Handicapped by limited opportuni ties, the handsome stallion has man aged to send an excellent crop of j 2-year-old winners to the poles. So j c onsistent has this erop of runners been that It Is surprising to fans that the advantages of the sire, the great son of Adam, have not been in creased. Not since the days of the mighty Sain has any one farm had the name that has been given that of Seth. The Barney Schriber farm, home of Sain, was once greatest in Missouri. Now Reth and the farm that Is his home Is the talk of the country. Reth’s honors are not confined to the 2-year old class, either. Delante. a runner of 4 years, Is without ques tion the greatest son of Petli. That stepping gelding has won five straight handicaps at New Orleans. Ix)rena Mareellia, daughter of Seth, Is a great sprinter. As a 2 year-old she was tile best entry at the Havana winter meeting. Now, at the age of 4 site is still an exceptional horse. Seth's Flower, raring in tills, his third year, at the New Orleans oval, is a wonderful colt and contender at every turn of the track. Tender Seth, another 3-year-old, Is racing at the Louisiana track and giving good ac count of himself. A dozen or more other sons and daughters of the great Seth are also at the New Orleans meet. Some race as 2-year olds, others at 3 and over, but all show form that thrills the customers. Reth’s Treasure, 2 year-old son of Reth, raced at New Orleans last Fri day. He went to the post second favorite with the customers in the first event. H# lost after a valiant race, hut the fact that hs was near favorite showed the esteem in which the race of Seth is held. In former races this thoroughbred has shown wonderful bursts of speed. Seth’s Alibi is among the Seth prod nets to rare this winter at the Tia j uana course. Tiny Seth, Seth’s lemon and many others have faced the wire at this course. Some have already won a place on rolls of fame and others arc sure to chalk up at least one good win before the end of the meeting. Should Seth be mated with better mares, such mares as are found for Man O’ War, Fair Play and other Kentucky stallions, his would be a name to live as leader of the list of winning sires of all time, ills blood is true and with more chance than he now gets he would be "a world beater." Sport Sparks. Baseball scouts would do well to look over that New Jersey woman who hit her husband with a flatiron 29 times without missing him once. San Francisco man paid $1,300 to join golf club. That's nothing— wait till he starts buying halls. Phillies are to train in town found ed by Ponce de I^eon, but it will take considerably more, than the fountain of youth to lift the boys from the Sleepy City out of the cellar. Interstate Umpires’ Protective as sociation organized to promote bet ter umpiring. A more useful pro tective organization would be one protecting the umps from stray pop bottles. Only hope for Boston Braves to cop pennant this season is fact that ex perts pick them to finish last. Anrlent Irish sports now being revived. Fight game Is another ancient Irish sport lliat could stand a lot of reviving. Former White Sox player Is run ning for legislature, which ought to be a soft Job after wrangling with A. L. umps. Report of golf match between pro fessional and senator says no score was kept. Scrtre was kept, but senator kept it secret. Christy Mathewson Against m '•_ Bonus System For Ball Players J •> New York, .Tan. 12.—Christy Math ewson, presk’s. of the Boeton Braves, joins with Bob Quinn, presi dent of the Red Rox, in condemning the bonus system for ball players. This is the plan of giving a player a certain salary and then promising a bonus for extra meritorious serv ice. The plan is generally used with pitchers and the bonus hinge# on their ability to win a certain number of games. Matty made some re marks on the subject to the Chicago meeting of the leagues, but no action has been taken on It. • The main objection to the plan is the feeling that It Is not apt to make for particularly firm faith on the part of the populace. Burton Whitman of Boston el'es an instance of lreet fall, when the Braves were playing the Brooklyn team towards the close of the season. "Neither team was going anywhere In particular,” he writes, "but the fans knew that If Ruether (Brooklyn pltcheri won the game he would get a special prize, something like $1,000 extra, over and above his salary. Nat urally, some of the fans did not take the game seriously. They refused to believe that the Braves would try to break their necks to deprive Rue. ther of his thousand. It wag an un fortunate situation. There was criti cism at the time. The idea Is that baseball ought always to be above sus piclon.” Indians and Tigers Angling for More Hurling Material New York. Jan. IS.—Before the schedule meeting of the American league Is held In Boston In February, the Cleveland and Detroit cluli* of the American league are likely to put through Rome deals which will give them a better chance to hold their own against New York. The Yankees are the natural oppo nents of all other club* In the league thi* year because there are seven team* whmlch are eager to knock the Yankee* from their perch on the top limb. The managers nre e good bunch of fighter*, but they are cold blooded when they analyze the strength of the teams opposed to them, and they are smart enough to know that the New York American* as they nre constitute a dangerous nine. Both Speaker and Cobb think they have a chance for the pennant if Tunuey May Meet Stribliug. Macon, Qt„ Jan.

Itoth of them are satisfied with their outfield* and they have reason to be. They Want in field propping and Cleveland wants pitcher*. President Barnard, of the Cleveland club says he won't give up trying to strengthen his team until the season begins. That Is why Cleveland keeps its correspondence bureau busy with the Boston club, from which It desires to get George Burns.

Moyle lough I -ail Tills Paul Doyle person who v..l. attempt to bounce his fists off Morrie Schlaifer's beautifully lined jaw next Friday r.lght, Is one tough welterweight fighter. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Moyle has fought ’em all In the welter class ami is considered a lough foe for Mickey Walker, the king pin of the welters. Dave Shade, Georgia Ward, Kddle Shev I in, Johnny Karr and Frankie Selioell have exchanged ring greet ings with tiiis bird Moyle, not to mention all the lesser light who have met him in the roped arena. The The New Yorker is a fighlit who works on much the same order ns Schlaifor. He isn't much on tlie science, but when It comes to sock Ing he seems to be able to hold his own. This fact was brought home when Doyle knocked out Frankie Murphy of Denver. Omaha fans re member Murphy as one of the tough est fighters who has ever fought Krhlaifcr In this city. Schlaifer hit Murphy with everything except the gong and then couldn’t put Frankie to sleep, so when a fighter came along who knocked Murphy out, fans in this section of the so-called sticks, sort of scratched their domes trying to place Doyle. PRIZE fighters hold the spotlight of aportdom only w-hile they are knocking out opponents. Fans don’t bother to follow the up* and dow’ns of the cauliflower-ear boys after they slip down the ladder of ring-popularity. Take Jess Willard for Instance. Willard, of eonrse, whs popular while lie was active In the ring, lie quit and then returned. Just before liis fight with Firpo the husky Kansan was given much publicity, but now. Well, it’s dif ferent. Willard is living a life of ease in Ixis Angeles, keeping one eye on his Kansas farm interests and the other on his bank roil. Willard is through as far as fighting ix conrerned and probably doesn't care whether his name is ever mentioned by ring fans again. Then there's Ad Wolgast. He was a great little fighter in his day. N'ow he is on the west coast, broken in health and spirit. Just the oppo site of Jess Willard. Billy Papke, former middleweight champion, is the owner of a large orange grove in Altandena, Cal., while Kid McCoy Is doing stunts in the movies. Tommy Kyan, undefeated wel terweight, is wealthy as a result of his real estate activities in Culver City, Cal., just the opposite of Tommy Kyan of lies Moines. The I >es Moines Kyan, known as a fighter of note in Ids day, is try ing to make both ends meet by running a gymnasium and promot ing fights in lies Moines. There are a lot of other fighters scrappers who were anion* i lie con tenders for their respective titles in years gone hy who aie trying to keep the wolf from the door. These foimer fighters who are il most down and out along life's road, had their day. but didn't make the most of it.

Tablet* Experts Clash on Golfing as Aid to Health One Physician Says Nerves Are Put Umlcr Strain hy the Co-Ordinated Effort. London, Jan, 12.—It will be a deep joj- for tho long handicap men among golfers to know that, on medical authority, the wilder the game they play the greater the physical benefit they derive from the exercise. Kngl.sh golfers were saddened a few weeks ago by some remarks < f Dr. Hnrld Dearden, who declared that of all the games for tired nerves golf is the worst. “It involves the performance,” said Dr. Dearden, “in sequence, of a number of highly co-ordinated actions. The whole affair is com monly a grim one, < arrh-d out in a sort of constriction of the ner\ our system ln'miccl to rest. It is this damming up of emotion due to unsuccessful strhing that is so productive id nervous unrest.” But there is another side to the story. This is the way in which it is stated by one of Br.tain's chief medical authorities: "The answer to Dr. Dearden is." he says, "that prac tical experience is w r*h all the the ory in the w-orld. The amount of good done by golf is obvious to every body. "Thousands upon thousands of people have li::d their health re stored hy playing gfdf and keep their health hy continuing to play. “Golf has no bad effect upqp the nervous system, but has a very good effect as a rule. The inexpert player. curlouB as it may seem, gets more lier.ef.t from the same than the short handicap man.
