a match for anybody" Which shows
clearly that he thoroughly appreciates
the value of putting.
Jamie Anderson. who bears the repu-
tation of being the most expert player
IN Great Britain on approach shots,
says anybody that can approach does
not need a putter."
His literal meaning was not that the
bah could be laid SO dead to the hole
it could be showed in with almost any
club in the bag.
The running-up stroke with the
mashie is peculiarly useful under GER
tain circumstances. If there is a small
rise before the putting green, SO near
the hole thai a ball lifted over it would
inevitably run over the green, though
the ball We're cut ever so shrewdly, then
1t is almost necessary to run the bail
up. That may. of course, be done with
a putter II the ground that the ball has
to traverse is smooth and even all the
way: but that does not always happen.
Often what happens Is that Immediate
ly in front of the ball the ground is
rough, even if not distinctly hazardous:
Indeed. 1t seldom occurs thai the ground
just before the ball is so srnooth at any
considerable distance from the hole that
a putter can safely be used. With the
mashie the ball is sent away with a low
flight by cutting close behind it, never
rising more than a yard from the
ground. and 50 carrying the rough

that OF Jean Bart. h popular naval hero
of France. Born and bred a pirate. he
became the boldest and most successful

did not know about that business was
not worth knowing. Recognizing the

SELL DEFENSE IN

BY Terry McGovern.

No matter how peaceable and well
behaved you may be, the time may

twenty-four hours) when you will find
it necessary to fight.
1t is always best to avoid a street
fight Whenever you can and to do
nothing to bring it on But is such a
fight is forced on you, don't give up as
long as you have a particle of life left
in you.
II some fellow much bigger than
yourself attacks you the nance are
three to one that you can beat him if
only you understand boxing and keep
cool.
Your street fighter is seldom in con-
dition. The man who trains conscien-
tiously and who has a working knowl-
edge of boxing is not the sort Of fellow
as a rule who p1ovokes street fights.
1t is more often a drink-soaked foafer
or tough, who is soft and unframed, or
else some wharf workman who. while
strong, is slow n doesn't know how
to Use his muscles.
Thus far the chances are in your
favor.
When you see the fight is inevita-
bic. don't wait for him to get into posi-
tion or attack you.

VALUABLE MINING.

New York Tribune: These fabulous
stories you hear everywhere nowadays"
said ". w. Green, of Denver at the Ho-
tel Nethefland. ''of the wonderful dis
coveries made and prices received for
claims in the mining regions bring back
to my mind a story hat used to be told
in the earlier days of Colorado. A young
chap had there located a claim in which
he had every confidence that ore exist
ed, but try as he would he was unable
to locate the precious metal. and little
by little he became sicker and sickle at
heart until at length there came a day
whose closing was marked by clean dis
enlargement on his part. His las piece
of bacon was eaten, his last stick of
gunpowder fired and his credit utterly
used up. Still, he believed the ore to
be there, but he recognized the utter flu
tility on his part of trying further to get
1t. Lonely and out of spirits, Just at
sunset he stood at the door of his cabin
hooking for the last time over the scene
of his useless efforts, when down the
winding trail came a stranger astride a
broncho. Taking in the situation at a
glance, the man refined in his cayuse
and called out to the lonely figure in the
cabin doorway. Say. pardner, what will
you take for that p~layed-out claim of
yours?'
Hope sprang up and cleaned from
the miners eyes as he firmly replied,
Played out nothing. It'll take 81. ooo. 900
cold to buy me out
"The stranger slowly gathered up his
reins. TIL give you 49, he said tenta-
lively.

pective millionaire, eagerly.

THEIR QUEUES.

The following gives the origin of the
queue. The early Chinese allowed the
hair to grow all over the heal. They
did not cut it. but wore 1t bound urcn
the top of the head. secured by one or
more long wooden pins. In 1927. how
ever. the Manchus issued an order that
all Chinese under them should adopt
their style of hair dressing as a sign OF
f~aithfulness, on penalty of death. The
fashion thus begun by ao,npuision is now
followed from choice. AS no man can
safely undertake to shave the top Of his
own head, abarberisr required daily. Those
who cannot afford 20 have n come to

Whiskers are seldom worn, except by

even by the very few who can raise
them. A mustache IL not considered

Is apt to be out OF condition. In no
place is lack of training SO manifest as
in the state of the muscles, tissues, ETC..
covering the stomach.
By following out a ~gynlnastic course
you can make the muscles and flesh
from chest to waist nearly as ard as
from But an unframed man has mo
such protection Therefore,. if you can
manage to land a few heavy punches
on his wind you may finish him UP. A
stiff blow on his wind will at least bend
him over far enough for you to land
your hand heavily on his jaw.
Remember this.
And now. one more point: The man,
as I've told you, won't fight fair. If
ycu once get within his grasp it may
go hard with you unless you know q
trick or two to block him.
He may go even further and kick. If
YOU are SURF enough of your ability to
cope with him at close quarters, jump
in at him when he starts to kick and
get too close for the kick to- land hard.
Or else side-step or get out of the way
in some other fashion and if possible
grab his foot or leg before he can bring
it back to the ground and throw him.
Som good tricks at close quarters
are as follows:
Suppose for the moment that I am
your opponent in a street fight. I hit
out for you wildly with my right hand.
As I do SO seize my right wrist with
your left hand, ben your left knee and
pull my right arm over YOU head UNI
til your left hand. which holds my
wrist. is behind your own neck. At the
same time seize my right leg just above
the knee with your right rand. Give
your body a twist a will bring the
back of your shoulders under my waist.
Then rise to you full height, swinging
my body up. as you go. my stomach
resting across our shoulders, my right
hand and leg imprisoned by your left
and right hands.
The impetus. the way my body is
balanced and the momentum Of the rise
are such that a small man can. in this
fashion lift a man who weighs 200.
Be sure his body is well balanced across
your shoulders, as this lessons the diff
Guilty Of lifting me. When an opponent
is once up in the air hurl him head
downward, or any way you like, to the
ground. 1t is needless to say that this
Vancouver must be executed with
lightning q~uickness. 1t is far easier
than it sounds.
Another: When an opponent leads for
your face. countter with the right, send
ing your right hand beyond his face so
that your arm can encircle his neck.
Swing your body around SO that your
right leg is just in front of his right:
catch his right forearm, if possible, with
your left hand: then. with a quick mo-
ton. bend sharply forward from the
waist, using the right hips as a lever,
and throw him thus over your hip to
the ground.
Again: When he leads with his left,
duck. rush in. throw your left arm
about his waist, get your left leg be-
yond his and just behind it, catch him
under the chin with your right hand
and, using your left hip as a lever,
throw him backward ITO the ground.
This is the hip fall. When a man tries
this on you move your left leg sharply
fifteen or eighteen inches to the left,
planting the left foot firmly there before
his left leg can get behind you. This
will block the trick.

for some other part Of the face. Then,
don't let up, but keep right ON throw
ing in blow after blow, without giving
him a chance to recover from his sur
prise.
Don't hit wildly. but with strength
and cleVerness, as your gymnasium
practice with dumb bells and punch
ing bags will have taught yoA to do.
Make ZACH blow tell, and deliver each
blow with full force.
Be careful, though, not to be over
confident or to place yourself where he
a reta too easily. Remember hat
a street loafer won't fight fair, but will
use every foul tactic to win. There will
be no referee there, o know, to dis
ness count in your favor, as we'll as
your boxing skill. While defending
yourself carefully, keep attacking him
all the time. Give him no chance to at
tack you or to try any of his unfair
methods. Thus steady, quick. agrees
sive work is often the best way to de-
fend yourself.
Don't get ratified. If you do your
skill n knowledge of boxing will de-
sert you and leave you almost help
less. AS long as you remain cool and
keep your wits about you you increase
you chances of victory tenfold.
Let me say right here, if four or five
men tackle you at once, don't be
afraid to u for your life. There is no
cowardice in this, for it is only in dime
novels that one man can thrash a whole
gang. In such circumstances escape
while you can for it is not a fair fight,
but a brutal, hopeless beating you're
running from.
II. however, you are surrounded by
such a crowd with no chance for es-
cape, fight to the last gasp, taking the
aggressive and using all the quickness
and skill you have.
There is something magnificent in
the thought of a man battling gallantly
and single handed in a contest he
knows to be hopeless. The increased
respect OF all who know you will COM
pensate for such a defeat.

it should be good, the brassey will be
used, and if bad, the cleek will be called
upon. When the distance to be gained
is hardly sufficient for a full cleek shot
the midiron is brought into play.
The sportiest feature i'm the game of
golf is the playing through the fair
green or that portion of the hole be-
tween the drive from the tee n the
putting green.
1t is in this section where all the OBJ
stacles lie and where the greatest pre-
caution is necessary. AS a rule, there
is rough ground of some sort. if not a
ravine, ditch, stream or bunker neces-
sary to be carried to the drive, and the
hole is not considered good unless there
is punishment of some sort for topped
drive, which is a common occurrence
when a player becomes careless and
takes his eye off the ball even for an
instant. 's
1t is at this ju~ncture the other clubs
are brought into play, according to the
nature of the difficulty the player gets
into. Often the lie is not really bad,

But more frequently, however, the trou-
BILE is of a mere serious nature, when
a mashie or niblick has to be used. Il
If a ban should be near a bunker,
but not in it, but where lofting Is ne6-
ssary, greater distance can be required
in clearing the bunker by using 4 mid
iron or lofter. The mashie. as a rule. is
used more for approaching the green
from a short distance than for gaining
any great distance in playing out Of a
