the one-time star pitcher of the New York Giante is now "throwing the.bal for the indianapolla club of the American association. Eleven years ago Schtipp was standing the batters on their heads in the National league. This year his arm is hack again in its natural condition Tof the first time in a oecade and that he-'can pitch, as easily and as freely a he did for the Giants In 1S16. If hf finishes the 1927 season with' a good record It is better tha an even bet that' he will be back in the major leagues In 1928. isn't old as pitchers go.

He be- san to pitch at an age. when some boys are Just leaving grammar t'hOOl. -1 When Schupp who preferred to ht called because it was ostentatious was pitching for "the. Giants he was the best left-hand pitcher for one season and two-thirds- who ewer played baseball In any league. That includes such' left-handers as Toad Ramsey, who was superior to Rube Wad-J11, notwithstanding all the laurels heaped on the Waddell brow: who was a pitcher above, the rating given hirn, and the present day Lefty Grove of the Athletics, who is on the verge of being an eight-cylinder affair, although he may slip over the edge before he gets there.

Schupp; made the most wonderful- earned run record that was ever made in major league command of the ball was superb. He had worked three years to obtain it. He Joined the New, York club as a slender stripling, too fragile to go a' full game. Uncle Wilbert Robinson, then roach of tire Giants, undertook the task of out the manifest superior points of the young man. MAKES GREAT RECORD.

Scfiupp's record in 1916 was nine victories and three defeats. The Giants did not win the vennant In 1916. They might have done eo had changes been made earlier on the team.

expected to be a winner in 19i7. He began the, sea-eon well and soon became the counts' besjt With" Bailee and Benton he pitched the team to a pennant. He won 27 games and lost 7 with another wonderful earned run percentage! In 1918 Schupp wasf expected to be greater than '-ever. He com-, plained about his arm, however, from the start the season. He would, never reveal what had hap-pptK but there were rumors that he had got into a row during the winter and injured his pitching arm.

When he did that he. blew, up about $50,000 worth of pitching, sinew. This year Schupp says his arm i is back i.i ita natural condition. What wouldn't the Giants who have Just lost three garner in a row to ihe Chicago Cubs give for a pitcher like the old-tlmo Schupp, this season? i (Gwrlrbt, 1927.)

ERSKINE SIX The Battle at Oakmont THE Oakmont golf course is nearly 7000 yards long and it has more traps and hunkerfcthan a porcupine has quills, but-for all that the decision tn the United States open will again rest largely with the putter.

It happens to. be the stroke that-finds the bottom of the tin that completes the score on each hole A'o one who is driving badly is. going to win at Oakmont and no one going to win'whose iron play is: spotty. But the point to be considered is thisthere will be many hitting their drives down the middle and lacing their iron shots to the greens. From this group 'only a few will be putting brilliantly or consistently, and these are the ones who will fight it out.

It doesn't take many three-putt greens or many putts of four: and five feet to kill the spirit of a pretty good fighter. The Importance of the Putt Bobby Jones realized the Importance of the (putt. some years ago when he took three putts on nine greens at Columbia and finished with a 77 that have been a 67. He went towdrk on the putter after that championship and has never skidded around the greens since. 1 -V A year later at Skoki iron play was' erratic, well below hit average, but every time I saw him ha was sinking a ten-foot putt.

He finished only stroke out at 289; just one over 4s for 72 holes, Jones will find Oakmont's length and narrowness suited to his wooden club play, but it ia his work around the greens that again makes him, favored above, any other competitor, At'Jnwood I saw; Jones trapped four times in five holes, Jjut on these five holes he had two birdies and three pars. He was coming from a trap or chipping up and holeing in one putt. He has been the man in the last five championships from within twenty yards of the green, in the sand or on the turf, Hagen riot so far away with niblick, chip shot and putt. Certain Rounds 1 At Skokle. in 1922, Abe Mitchell gave the finest exhibition of driving I ever saw.

His iron play was almost as good. He was around in a. 7.1 that might have been a 63 or a 64. He put any number of second shots three, tour and five feet from the cup and missed nearly every putting try. He missed six or seven putts of five feet or less.

In his third round at Scioto last summer Joe Turnesa had a 72 that might easily have been a 1 He missed five or six putts from four to six feet, and several fathers around eight or ten feet. If either Jones or Hagen had been using a putter on that round the count would have been well under 70. There is nothing that harasses the soul of a good golfer more than to drive well and lash iron shots up around the pin, and then keep watching fairly short putts just slip by or Just stop short. Naturally bad driving and bad iron play over a course such as Oakmont mill hamper any. one's chance, but you don't see many, of the leading ttart in an open driving badly or tupping iron Last summer at Scioto Mac Smith was driving well and his iron play was good, but his short game cracked and he got around in 81.

A day later the touch came back and he had either 68 or a 69. What Should Win Any golfer who can break -295 at Oakmont ought to win. There are too many sanded grottoes, and too much length for any one to' keep steadily in the low 70s over this battlefield. The furrowed sand straps put a premium on direction, for no one walks into an Oakmont trap with a mid-iron or a spoon. It is all a niblick's work and the idea is to get ot in if possible, regardless of any fancy recovery.

The Winning score should' be somewhere in the neighborhood of 293, and any chip who around 72 holes'at IhiJ course in only live over even fouu lias a cfown comimc to him. 15: 945 b. factory, including front mnd roar motometer, Studeboktr modsls from $1165 to $3495.
