PRIOR to the opening game of the season with Brooklyn Tech yesterday afternoon, Carl Hultin, an omnalder. was elected captain of the Richmond Hill baseball nine. He was an All-Echolastic gardener last season and batted .410. He collected one of the five hits made by his team in yesterdays scoreless tie. Hultin is also president of the General Organization of the School.

The inimitable Baron Munchausen had no hand In the development of the plot This very thing happened to Bill Mehlhorn in El Paso, Texas, recently where "Wild Bill" threw to the winds in one "supremely careless gesture," says A. T. Packard in the current issue of Golf Illustrated, "a considerable amount of money." "In a financial sense," Packard continues, "this occurrence was of importance to only those immediately interested. In a golfing sense, it was an outstanding illustration of the basic fact that no golfer, except the dub, can take liberties with his stroke and escape the evil consequences.

That point should be a benefit to every By JAMES HAROLD DELLE, who had the honor of leading the Richmond Hill baseball nine to the Queens championship in 1927, is one of the main dependants to keep the title in the Scarlet and Gray institution this season. Aside from using rare judgment on every occasion last season, Delle played no small part in assisting his aggregation to the much coveted laurels. The versatile diamond performer fits prominently into the plans of this spring's unit. Delle is a heady combination catcher and outfielder, who gives efficient service wherever he is used. He is a natural ball player with a good throwing arm, a dandy at holding up pitchers and a sure thing when camped under hoists to the outfield.

The experience he gained in getting under foul balls has been of vast importance to him in cultivating a natural aptitude for gathering in drives of all kinds to the outfield. While he is one of the best defensive players on the Hal Delle. team, the lad is also a tower of strength on the offensive. His bat can always be counted upon to function in the pinches. He first made the nine in 1925 and divided his time roaming the outfield and manning first base.

Through a dearth of experience talent in 1926, Delle was compelled to take up his place behind the bat and made good from the outset. He vol unteered his services as a backstop and his presence there solved a troublesome problem for Coach Har- ley Thomas. His asoressiveness and line of chatter pepped the team up to a point where it was never beate.1 until the last man was out. He is still the same chatterbox and his ginger instilled a winning spirit into his mates in 1927, and is expected to do likewise this season. His all-around brilliancy won him an all-scholastic nomination in 1926.

Ainougn Richmond Hill lost to James Monroe in the semi-finals for the city title last spring, it was through no fault of Delle's as he had the distinction of delivering all of his team's three hits, off Ike Goldstein sensational mound ace of the Bronx team. The fact that the boy compiled a batting average of .444 and a fielding mark of .983 and managed to go through the campaign of 1927 without being set down on strips once more earned him All-Scholastic recognition. While baseball Is nolle' vu.uiuii in the spring, his fancy wanders to basketbaU in the fall, but it remained dormant the past two. seasons as the school has dropped the sport from its curriculum. He was a member of the last quintet that represented the Scarlet anrl Grnv HnHncr tti paign of 1925-26.

Dene is also a track performer ot no mean ahilirv and a runner of repute. He did splendidly with the harriers in 1925 and again in 1926, finishing well up in the city and Queens championships those years. Harold is to be graduated in June, but he Is undecided relative to the college he will enter in the Fall.

i I 1 1 I l-7 II fill VW 'lA. JfJ J3 II II for real enjoyment Nev Utrecht Mentor La-ments Fact That Mate-rial Has Deteriorated. By JAMES J. MTRPHY. Coach Morris Kaufman of the New Utrecht High School baseball nine laments the fact that the scholastic talent is getting worse each year.

He blames the situation on the fact that available playing fields have given way to houses during the building boom since the war. He points to the fact that the youth of today has lost interest in what is supposed to be the national pastime and has taken up punch ball, which can be played in the streets if the policeman are halfway reasonable. Coach Kaufman declared that 300 candidates responded to his call this season and he did not hesitate to admit that they were the poorest lot he had ever come across. Out of that number he was able to select a hand. ful to fill the few vacancies on the varsity nine.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he had several veterans to fall back on, the mentor would have been up against a tough nroDosi tion. He is fearful of the future if there is not an improvement in the class of players that turn out for his teams. The spirit that was so rampant neretoiore has practically disappeared The situation was so acute at New Utrecht this season that it was found necessary to stage a rally week to re vive the slight interest that remained. The Green and White is now playing its home games at Ulmer Park, and when that field disaDDears it will probably mean the passing of baseball from the school's curriculum. There is not another available field within easy access to the school, i Initial Workout, New Utrecht underwent its inital test of the campaign yesterday after noon.

The team met De Witt Clin ton High School at Ulmer Park, but the weather was so cold that the combat had to be abruptly concluded after three and a half innings had been played, with New Utrecht showing in front by 7 to 0. The showing greatly pleased the able mentor, but ha is not claiming any championship possibilities on the strength of that snowing. The Bensonhurst nine has two capable veteran curvists in Julie Goldstein and I. Shavitz. Coach Kauf man looks for them to turn in a large percentage of victories in the games they work.

Shavitz did the twirling yesterday and measured un to antici pation by holding the De Witt Clinton stickers at bay. Anderson, Frontera, McKeag and M. Cohen are other pitchers being carried to provide breathing spell between contests for the two regulars. Johnson will be called upon to do the major share of the catching, but he will have another reliable veteran In Bethill to give him relief when it is necessary. Nelkin is another receiver who is being carried for emergency purposes.

Experienced Outfield. The entire infield embraces expert enced performers and is the strongest link of the outfit. The quartet that comprise it are steady fielding indi viduals and they pack proportionate strength with the willow. Abramo witz is holding sway at first base Glash is at second, with "Kiddie" Carr checking shots to short and Captain McLouehlin smothering hot ones down the third-base line. Bach of these lads has an understudy, which means that, despite the scarcity of real high-class talent among the newcomers, the team is well fortified with reserves.

Itkin is the second string first base men and S. Goldstein understudies Glash. Kamlnsky occupies the utility role at shortstop and Coleman stands ready to nil any breach that might occur at third base. Vadala, Logatuta and Lauria are other surplus inflelders being retained. The outfield is also made up of three veterans who have supernumeraries awaiting me cnance to step into tneir snocs snouia tney falter or become maimed.

O'Brien is the regular In left Meld and his substitute Is Friedman, snul skv is a fixture in center, but that Important past is fortified with two ambitious understudies in uosteuo ana Donaldson. Greco is rlrst choice in right field and should anything hao-pen to him either Tartakoff or Hall-back will fill his place. Htifnagle Takes on KidWhalen Tonight; Tendler Back Again Lew Tendler, veteran campaigner, Is going to have another shot at a boxing title. The Philadelphia southpaw next Monday night will take on Joe Dundee, welterweight champion of the world, for ten rounds or less at the Quaker City Sports Club. It's great, all the opportunities Tendler finds confronting him for picking up titles and the majority of them have come since Lew lost the fine edge he possessed about four nack.

a K00d left hand He is sill! well aware of moil of the tricks of the game. Bui he no longer can slide around the ring fast enough to catch up with some of the speedy young ones. Tendler has a chance to collect a title Monday a lOo to 1 opportunity. Tonight we have th National Guard battle of the century. At the 212th Antl-Alrcraft Armory, two of the headllners In the Armory boxing racket are to meet.

Eddie tKldi Whalen, welterweight champion takes on Bcruie Hufnagle for six rounds. For sheer excitement this bout looms as one which will have an edge over any other Armory bout and that, one will admit, is saying something. No rougher, tougher opponents could be found. Whalen belongs to the hit hard and draa 'rm out school. He can hit and he can take It.

Hufnagle Is not quite the hitter that Whalen Is. The Brooklvnlte will have an edge In the matter of smacking. But whatever he may lark In lunching ability, Hiilnnule will make up In an ability to bike all that Is coming to him and remain uprlaht. Hufnagle recently won the rirrlalon from two welterweight title aspirants. He won from Nick Palmer and Larry Estridge.

HEMI-PROS AT rtfAMMt'cl FIELD. The Bay Parkway bawbnll tcrtm will open Its eaon against the rtnynl v.i.n.a it, crumui Field, Eiintl'y afternoon, golfer who wants to Improve his or her game. Menial Attitude Often Deciding Factor. HPHE conclusion of the statement of my personal belief that, as be tween players of supposedly equal skill, the winner will be the one with the best mental attitude toward his game; that mental attitude oemg based on a full knowledge of his own limitations and the conviction that each shot in a contest may be a crucial one. It will be noted that such a mental attitude eliminates all care less methods and leads the player to use only his best and approved mem-nils on everv stroke.

"Any slightest deviation from that mental attitude is wrong. The star golfer knows that margin for error in the golf stroke is narrower than that in any other spirt. He must try to wipe out that margin by concentrating all his physical and mental ability on each stroke and that, by the same token, marks every step of advancement in the game of any golfer from dub to star." Needed Only To Touch Ball. AN EXTREME case, the Texas incident, but it effectually illustrates the point. The chajices were 100 to 1 that Mehlhorn's one-handed stab would have touched the ball sufficiently hard to send it into the hole.

That ball needed to make but half a revolution to reach the tin. But it remains a fact that Mehlhorn missed and lost considerable money. Had "Wild Bill" given the shot the same concentration awarded each of the other 70-odd shots he played in that round, he would have tied for second place and divided second and third money. Instead he missed and had to content himself with a share of third, fourth and fifth prizes. Carelessness a Great Handicap.

ALL average golfers are as Mehl- horn was that minute in Texas. They are careless, heedless and unthinking, and yet they wonder why it is that they so seldom break 95. One watches these golfers on the tee. His swing, while maybe too loose or a too-restricted, is fair enough. We watch him play his irons and lo, there is sufficient comoactness, sufficient length to assure the watcher that he is capable of 90.

But when he returns his score, one finds that he has taken 100 or more strokes. Takes More Strokes Than He Should. HPHIS" is typical of the average golfer. He always takes half a dozen strokes a round more than he should. The mental state of the golfer is tremendously Important.

One watches those lads with the woodsman's swing, go plowing along, hacking at the ball. Their swing is brutal. They will never achieve distinction on the links unless it be fur the sheer rug-gedness of their efforts. They will never be able to score in the 80s. But, tor all their crudest ot operation, they Favorite Trimmed When Pile Garners Award Over Herbst The unexpected is bound to happen, and it turned up at the amateur boxing bouts presented at the Friars Club, Manhattan, last night, when John Pile, flaunting the silks of the Lenox Hill A.

outpointed Eddie Herbst, recent winner of the New York and Chicago Golden Glove tour ney of the middleweight division, in fast fought three-round bout, the KO-pound special. Aerbst was decidedly the favorite, but he failed to show his vaunted fistic ability when Pile easily led the way for the entire duration of the bout. In the second stanzi Herbst made a sudden spurt, following up on pis opponent witn a rapid succession ot left and right Jabs, but the atiac was offset by the defensive tactics of Pile. The latter easily gained the much sought victory. In the other special, which was In me navywcient division, Charles Ot fen of the National A.

Often Misled by Tee Markers. YOUR average golfer walks up to the teeing place.

He takes a stance square with the markers. It never occurs to him that those markers might be incorrectly placed. He goes ahead and drives and, because he didn't look, his drive is off line. He plays an iron to the green, or at least attempts to. His customary second shot on this hole may be a spade mashie.

Out comes the spade. It makes little difference that a slight breeze faces him. A spade is his club and it is employed. His effort brings up in a trap. One shot or two are dropped.

Then he plays the second hole. Chooses to Gamble On Trick Shot rpHIS IS hole has ever been a Jonah him. It is, with his drive, a layout which calls for a strong iron second. Unfortunately he has not much confidence in his long iron play so he chooses to half-hit a spoon. In trying to stop the force of the shot he drags across the ball, the sphere flying in an arc into the rough.

To have hit a full spoon would have been to go clear across the green which would not have meant dire trouble for behind the green there are no bothersome hazards. I'nable to Benefit From Experience. npo HAVE played a full mashie 1 would have left him a wee bit short but still within easy reach of a five, one over par. Did he essay either of these last mentioned shots. Not he.

A little thought would have meant scoring a five at worst with a bare chance of a four. But no, he, not knowing his own limitations, essayed the gambler's shot and lost. Hole number three on this course has a huge bunker across the fairway. Invariably it catches his second shot. Once in its sandy depths he attempts to explode over the grass fringed heights confronting him.

Sometimes he gets out witn nis nrst try, more frequently he misses one if not two shots. Mental Lapses His Big Trouble. SINCE he plays this hole an average of three times a week, he had plenty of opportunity for playing a mashie second and another mashie for the green which would give him an excellent opportunity tor a par Ave. Does he learn from experience. Not he.

For all his ease of movement. For all the compactness of his iron swing and his ability to get down in an average of two putts on each green, he will continue to be a 100 golfer until he either stops playing and connnes himself to acquiring fair skill with his long irons or adepts the iialer, wiser method of play. The mental attitude is tremendous ly important in golf, for the dubs and for the stars. Longworth Chips Dead Over Trap MAiWt rllQUC AT AOOOttifc By SOL METZGER. As Dewey Longworth, noted Western professional, Is an outstanding expert with the short 'chip the flag from Just off the green over a trap or bunker, let us consider his method.

First, wherein does this chip differ from the run-up as Macfarlane was shown playing it? Lnntrwnrth tiaea at alloKtlu '1?" Macfarlane and Kill "nI 01 The main ones to note are that he plays the ball off his rteht heel whereas Macfarlane played his run-up on me leii, ana he used a more lofted club the mashla nlblic to Impart more loft. The reason for playing the ball off the right heel Is to take It with the face on the downswing-. That Imnnrta dead stop. Such a pitch Is aimed for the hole. The Idea is to lift the ball high so it will drop almost vertically on the green.

Such a ball has little run. Imparted backspln lends further to counteract any forward movement after falling.
