prominent part with the master eye and
vertical plane there Is not the slightest
doubt. By the power of the brain the
hand is made to travel in this vertical
plane which includes the object and the
master eye. This can be easily proved
by getting some one to throw a long
stick from above his head. after the
fashion Of the soldiers throwing a lance.
The aim is generally taken by moving
the hand backward and forward, it
being evident all the time that the hand
is maneuvering to get the stick on the
same vertical plane as the master eye
and the object. Again If a person watches
a boy throw stone at a bird, he will do
1t In manner that the hand cannot be
brought into the same plane with the
master eye when the head is held erect
on the shoulders. So in order to bring
the master eye on the same plane as the
hand, he stoops slightly over as he de-
livers the stone.
Quite often cricketers are heard to
use the term ''blind spot" for an objec-
tive point on the wicket of the opposing
side where the bowler intends to send his
ball. This is the rankest nonsense, for
this spot can only exist by the body of
the batsman being In such position
that his master eye cannot see the bowler
or the approaching ball. To avoid this
mistake, q batsman should bandage his

master-eyed and they invariably play
their game better than those who are
right master-eyed, while against this 1t
is often seen that baseball pitchers,
cricket bowers and tennis players who
are right-handed are found TO be right
master-eyed. Whenever any of these
experts try to shift the master eyeship
they make an error. and this mistake is
more glaring in golf than in all others.
This is particularly the great difficulty
which exists when a golf player tries to
hit the ball clean and true and when in
nine cases out of 10 he tops 1t, or is guilty
OF schlaffing or toeing. The chief object
of the game is sending the ball at the
moment of dispatch toward the next tee.
Here the master eye vertical plane is at
a right angle to the plans of the swing,
and this is the reason of the great diff
ficulty of golf and possibly the great
charm of the game. Were 1t possible
for the muscles to swing and the golf
club head to travel on the same plane
as the master eye half the difficulties of
the game would disappear. But our
anatomical construction prevents this and
the followers of the game must ever
remain dependent on nerve muscle sense
to send the ball in the proper direc-
ton.

But of all the games there is none bet
ter for the illustration of the master eve
than billiards. for there is the real ten
dency for the muscles to act in what is
called the vertical plane. In watching,
a billiard player take the ordinary shot

ed backward and forward in the same
plane as the eye, and that includes the
object ball. Unlike the shot with a gun.
the elevation does not come in here. for
the biliardist has the plane of the table
10 supply the want and he has only to
think of the strength and speed he
has to impart to the shot. In order to al
ways shoot effectively the billiartlist
should keep his cue in his master eve
vertical plane when aiming at the ball
Very often he forgets this, however. and
when he does his aiming is of the worst
description.
The bright light and continued exertjon
of watching the balls is a great strain and
often causes mental confusion. the hand
and master eye failing to work on the
same plane. A mastership which remains
constant has all to do with correct aiming
and should be always cultivated nv the
billiardist. AS rule they are all the time
unconsciously thinking of the aiming eve
and vertical plane in relation to the anpIe
that the player or object ball will mako
when they meet in the same plane. So
when a player finds himself with marked
tendency to misdrect the playing ball the
best thing for him to do is TO entire1u
close the secondary eye and It will nre-
vent him doing too much in the way of To-
calization.
Natural angles are often spoken of in
billiards and are regarded as the result
of the course of the driven ball and its
subsequent deviation after impact with
the object ball. This conclusion is abso-
1uteiy erroneous. as a moments thought
will show that the course of the cue ball
is but the expression of the master eve
vertical plane. 1t is the subjective ex-
istence of this plane In the mind which
causes the cue ball to take the direction
desired.
II is notable fact that rigfrt-handed
golfers and baseball batters are left

Another method of finding the master
eye has long been known to gun makers.
When they want to find out they get q
man TO aim at some object and note care
fully how he goes about his work. and
from his movements that which is the
master eye can easily be detected; that
Is, whether the muscles are acting in a
right or left eye vertical plane. In aim
ing with the gun man usually places
the master eve on the same vertical
plane as the sights and then points it at
the object the master eye plane is made,
il being the same as the sights on the
center of the barrel Then as the barrel.
the eye and the object are one and the
same plane the correct elevation IS the
only requisite needed to cause the bullet
to hit the mark.
In the practical application of the
physiological facts of the master eve
there is another factor to be considered,
and that Is motion, that is as It Is applied
to the sports and pastimes in which the
objects are moving. These may be
divided into two classes, one where the
object moves such as baseball, tennis,
and clay pigeon shooting; the other class
being billiards, golf and target shooting.
where the object is stationary. To be
able to hit moving object a man must
be able TO form an accurate estimate
of the speed at which It is travelling.
Therefore when the eve forcuses the
moving object the locating muscles OF
the eyeball must travel in the same direc-
ton and keep speed with the moving
object so that the eye gives the clue to
the brain at what rate the object is NOV
ing 1t is much the same as a man try
ing to keep a fast moving object on the
finder of q camera.

Pole vaulters, high and broad jumpers
all do the chief part of their work with
the eye and it is a notable fact that the
man who holds the worlds record for
the running broad jump never measured
his strides to the takeoff but trusted to
his eye 1t is a fact also that he never
made a mistake or a bad break in his
whole career as an athlete, and it was a
very long one and exceptionally brilliant
Every man, whether or not he might be
a sportsman, has a master eye" and it
needs but a simple experiment to find
out which eye it is.
Any one DESTROYS of finding out can
take a sheet of note paper and in the
center cut a hole about an inch in dame
ter, placing the piece cut out on the
floor. Then with both eyes open the
sheet of paper should be held about an
arms length away with the piece on the
floor visible through the hole. One eye
the left-should then be closed, and If
the piece of white paper is still visible
through the hole the right eye is the
master eye" On the other hand, If the
right is opened and the left closed and the
object paper is visible to the left, it is
the master eye" Some very interesting
points are revealed by this slight expert
ment. When the paper is held In posi-
ton with the eyes open that which is
the master will be found to be in
straight line with the hole in the paper,
the other eye being to one side of a
line which joins the hole and the OBJ
ject.
