While McCafferty is not heavy with
the stick he looks better in the short
field than any of the candidates End
seems to be improving steadily When
many things are taken into considera-
ton he seems TO be the logical man
for the position This leaves Hilly,
who will undoubtedly be used at third,
and Pennington and Bresnahan for
the other two positions. Pennington,
as an old head, is needed somewhere,
and second base seems to be about as
convenient a place to put him as any
where. He worked in this position
Sunday and looked mighty good
The result is that Bresnahan would
be shifted to the outfeld, giving Belt
hard hitting trio with Reichle and
Clark the other two men. Clark APP
pears to be the best hitter of the out
field candidates, and is slated to be re-
tanned for this season.
1t appears tht Belt has the possibili-
ties of a versatile ball club. with a

problem of securing more men.

shade in throwing alone Hicklin has
been working well, and seems to be

Putting Hard Part Of Golf

to him who would play for safety Is
to imagine that the hole is some two
feet in diameter Draw an imaginary
circle round the hole and attempt to
place your ball In the middle of this
circle There is the chance that it
will go down. AT all events. if the shot
be successfully played there should be
little chance of railing to get down
with the next putt, and we are allow
ed two puts on the green.
Position For Putting.
There is no part of the game which
offers such scope for originality as
putting, but it is pretty safe to advise
that the player should stand with his
right foot rather forward and the left
foot pointing to the hole. If anything
the left foot should have rather more
weight than the right foot. The right
elbow should be kept close to the side,
with the lelt pointing to the hole
The club should swing easily, with a
pendulum motion, along an i'm
aginary line-in the case of ordinary
straight putt on a level green--drawn
from the ball to the hole. do not put
forward these instructions dogmati
cally BY following them myself

That is why am naturally fond Of
them
Again, q lot Deepen on whether
the club head meets the ball above
