GOLFERS BUZZING It was undoubtedly one of the best performances ever turned in by a woman golfer at Pebble Beach and has the golfers buzzing. There is especially much speculation as to how Miss Hollins would stand up against some of the leading men players. Miss Kavanagh played some pretty golf, but in comparison to the way Miss Hollins was going she did not have much chance.

On the third she sunk a long putt for a birdie three and won the ninth with a nice par four. In the second flight Mrs. John Worley (X) defeated Mrs. R. Hau-ser i) for the final honors, and 2.

2V2 1 00 CANS imoiilt ously some of these Incidents were taken, we had a game in Pittsburg one day that broke up in a for eiture and an official protest. Ritchie, the Pirate second baseman. went Into third on a play, and it looked as if he were easily out. Neither of the umpires would say one way or the other. I ran from one to the other trying to make him give a decision.

The best I got was "Go and play ball." I protested that I couldn't go on until I knew whether the runner was out or safe. As a result the game ended right there, with me giving notice or an omciai proiesi. Mr. Brush was with the team at the time. While he pretended to deplore scraps, he really reveled in them.

He was determined to fight out the protest we were going to Chicago that night so he wired ahead and engaged a notary publio to take acknowledgements of affidavits. I guess we were the strongest affidavit making club in the world. It seems to me that we used to go around swearing to official papers as a sort of routine. It was fun, too. vmfs wroxo One of the party of New Tork newspaper men accompanying us had been a lawyer.

He was promptly assigned to write out the affidavits In regular legal form and then have the players, manager, owner and other newspaper men swear to them. Of course, our evidence showed the umpires to be entirely wrong. Arriving at Chicago we got a special room and spent the whole morning rounding up our affidavits. The newspaper-man-lawyer would write the paper something like this: "Being duly sworn. John Jones deposed as follows, to-wlt: "I am a resident of the city of New York and my occupation or profession is the Dlavlnr of base ball for a team known ae the New York Giants.

My special occupation In the pursuit of said profes sion Is the playing of a position Known as second base and one requiring a certain amount of physical dexterity and mental acumen.

Six semlpro baseball teams of Long' Beach plan a city league, games to be played on Saturdays throughout the year. Plans are so far advanced that three diamonds have been engaged and the promoters of the league are looking for a fourth, as two more nines may be added to the roster. The teams, which have so far Indicated their willingness to enter such a league arrangement are the Shell Oils, Grahams, Southern California Edisons, policemen, firemen and the -Raymond-Weilen mans. All these are fast organizations, and have some of the best semlpro players in Southern California. The Shell Oil diamond, the Elks' field and the high school field have been tentatively selected as sites of the Saturday struggles.

No admission fee is to be charged to these contests. In view of this fact, it is believed that an immense attendance will greet the efforts of the local players, for there is nothing the retired farm era league lines better tnan a no- pay baseball game. The Shell and the Graham outfits are well known to the fans of Southern California. There Is enough excellent baseball material in the police and fire departments for two good teams and the local Edison team is a hummer. having been organized some months ago.

HE ancient wheeie to the effect that "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" Is nothing less than a fable according to James Anthony Murphy, reigning of the apeedway.

With Ralph DePalma, Eddie Hearne, Earl Cooper, Darlo Resta and Tommy Milton, all former wearers of the crown, hanging around In the expectation of knocking him loose from his hard-won honors, Jimmy positively refuses to worry and Is much more bothered over Cliff Durant's injunction restraining him from flying than he Is over the prospect of losing his title. The opening race of the 1923 speedway season, scheduled for the 25th Inst, at the Los Angeles Speedway might well be called the Battle of Champions, for most of them are on the Job preparing to battle for glory and filthy lucre. There have never been so many real champions together on a track as there will be a week from Sunday. Xside from DePalma. Hearne, Cooper.

Rests, Milton and Murphy there are enough near-champions on the Job to make first-class race. instance there Is Harry Hartz. runner-up last year And the fastest-coming youngster In the business. Art Klein has never won the title of speed king, but he has probably caused more thrills than all the title holders put together. Frank Elliott Is another of the youngsters busy trying to get famous.

Chief Interest this week will be centered on the first serious appearance in practice of Darlo Resta. The 1916 speed king won his first fame on the speedway and was always thought of more as a speedway driver than a road racer although he collected the money la both styles of racing. Ordinarily with all these ex-champions gnashing their teeth and looking for his scalp the champion himself would be worrying his head oft, but net so with Jimmy. His car is in perfect shape and he has every confidence that he will break all speedway records by getting away with his second championship in a row and proposes to start things oft right with a victory In the 250-mile event next week.

The Cardlnels claim they will even up the series, while the Mldwlck men are confident of another victory. To this day the fans of Pittsburg have a keen animosity the Giants. That I think. Is a good thing for baseball. Sportsmanship and easy-going methods are all right but it Is ihe prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds.

Personally I never could see this idea of taking a defeat philosophically. I hate to lose and I never feel myself beaten until the last man is out I have tried to Instill that same fighting spirit into all the teams I have managed. I can appreciate the fine work of opposing players but at the same time, I'm not much for that show of friendly feeling on the field. Off the field yes. But once a team of mine is on the diamond I want them to fight Namby-pamby methods don't get much results.

Nothing ever gave our players more delight than to go back at fans and players who had started to give them a razz. I never tried to discourage them in this, either. A team that will fight back on an enemy diamond and before an enemy crowd is pretty well able to take care of Itself. The players gain confidence in themselves by maintaining this cocky spirit HURL EPITHETS Fans always resent the fighting back ot a visiting ball club and that usually leads to trouble. I never could see, though, why a ball player should be expected to take Insults and razzing without retort Just because he was In a city other than his own.

While on the road we had hot arguments of this kind daily. Often the fans got so enraged that they would follow our carriages and hurl epithetsand other tilings at us. All of this tended to make us a great drawing card on the road. Fans could rest assured that when the Giants arrived there would be action of some kind at the park. This also furnished the newspaper men with a lot of material for sensational stories.

That also helped. Ifs much better to be knocked and roasted than to be unnoticed.
