Things to Consider Regarding
Putting.

People say that putting. is merely a
matter of practice. but there are excep-
tons to this rule. for I know a number
Of very fine putters who never practice
at all, and yet the strength and line OF
the putt always seems to come naturally
to them, writes c. b. in the World OF
Golf. To most OF US, however, practice
alone can give the delicate touch SO
necessary for holing the four or five foot
putt. and IL the practice is made at a
small hole (say two and half inches in
diameter). It will improve the players
game enormously.
But the practice must be on sound
lines otherwise it will not do much good.
and each putt must be almost as care
fully studied as IL the most important
match Of ones whole career depended
upon It, This does not mean tedious ex-
animation of every blade OF grass be-
tween the ball and the hole-which. as
most people know. is no advantage what
eyer-but just a little careful study until
ones mind is made UP as to the exact
line. Sometimes, on an undulating green,

To call off the worlds series because
ball players insist upon violating the ma
t!onal commissions order not to lend
their names to newspapers articles refer
ring to the series would be serious blow
to base ball, yet such an action might be
taken just to establish the power Of the
supreme court OF base bali.
There should really never have been any
controversy about the players writing or
allowing the use of their names over
articles. Just as soon the public
realized that 1t was being imposed upon
by these player experts, whose names
are lent for monetary consideration to
stories which they 90 not write. this
practice would have been discontinued
by the newspapers and the players would
nave been out of that end OF the game.
The pubic might DC foo-ed for While
by these payer experts. but IN tins
would take q tumble. IL would have been
wiser to ignore the alleged writings OF
the players, for the scheme would nave
come to it's end in due time.
But inasmucn as the commission has
forbidden players who are eligible to
play in the series from lending their
names to such articles that ruling
should be upheld at any cost. When
ever this bail game is in such posi-
ton that the players will conduct its
affairs its end will be near When the
players realize that they are doing
nothing but hurting themselves by
violating the rules OF those who are
preserving the sport they may come to
their senses.
Worlds series dopesters are making
comparisons OF the various players,
mostly the stars Of the two contending
teams, and yet, as has often hap
pened. some player who is not figured
on at all may prove the star OF the
worlds series. 1t is not always the
stars who do the effective work in
these series. Recall the games between
the White Sox and Cubs In 1906. and It
was George Robe. considered the weak
est hitter on that team, who did the
most effective stickwork and made the
SOX victory possible. Robe went into
the minor leagues the very next year,
though he had really been responsible
for the winning Of worlds series.
Babe Adams won the series from De-
troit in 1909, and he was not considered
the Pirates star by any means All
the comparisons and predictions which
arc being made to figure the outcome
of the coming series really amount TO
nothing. for in a short series the actual
playing is what counts. and the player
or players who will shine cannot be
picked.
That a pitcher Of Walter Johnson 8
physique and ability would almost as
sure a world pennant to the team that
had his services is generally conceded.
If the time ever comes when the Ma
tionals with Johnson a member of the

will be demonstrated. Johnson under

failure near the hole was the spasmodio
action of a nerve on the inside OF his

The Jumping of this nerve causes his
wrist to give a slight turn and prevents
him hitting the ball quite truly.
AS a m6kter of fact, the hasty tabbino

less than the effort to get the ball away
before this unfortunate nerve would get

Curiously enough. Ray also has been
suffering from an injured wrist for some
time. 1t was troubling him at Fulweai.
and at Hoylake 1t was preventing him
from following through in his usual free

Although Ray would be the last 10 put
forward such an excuse himself. we have
no doubt that this accounts more than
anything else for certain inaccuracy
in the matter of direction which has been
noticeable In his long game this year.

the line is not found SO readily, but
think any reasonable sportsman will not
mind his opponents spending a little ex-
ira time, SO long as they do not lose their
place on the course.
Many people consider that the best plan
is to keep two putters, for a change will
sometimes have a marvellous effect but
within my own experience it is better to
keep to one. There is usually some very
good reason for bad putting, and by far
the best thing to do is to go off to some
good green and just practice until the
fault has been detected.
One of the most important things is to
notice which side of the hole the ball is
missing. If, for instance, you find you
have pulled your puts on the first three
or four greens, a slight alteration in the
| stance or method of hitting will often
result in sinking a good one within the
next hole or two
BY way of final advice, if you practice
putting, do not specialize on any par
ticular length; play long and short ones
on both fiat and undulatng greens.
