GOLF GOSSIP

Having dealt with the question OF
the beginner avoiding battered balls
and 50 starting on with an unneces-
sary handicap, Home Green" says:
The same line Of argument APP
plies with no less force as regards
clubs. II is essential that the begin
ner should learn the rudlments Of
the game with clubs which are suit
able for her, instead of. as Is too
often the case, with weaver's cams,
which are not inpfobabiy both too
long and too heavy even for the male
person who condescends to lend
them. Miss Cecil .Leitch has put Il
on record that the driver she habitu-
ally uses does not weigh more than
IL ounces and that her iron clubs,
with the exception Of her niblick and
her heavy mashie, do not weigh over
IA ounces. The lady golfer should be-
gin with clubs whose weight. is as
little as possible in excess of these
figures
IF the beginner has to buy new
clubs for herself she should be con-
tent to invest In a driver, an iron and
a putter only, at the first time OF ask
ing. These will suffice until she has
learned all the primary lessons of
the game. and by that time she will
have some experience of her own re-
quirements to guide her In her fur
Their selection. Besides steeling her
self against the temptation to get
clubs which are too heavy, she should
also take care not to get clubs which
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-04-19

are too long. Naturally length Is a
question which depends to some ex-
tent upon the height and physique of
the player. hut for an average lady
golfer it may be taken that 40 inches
for the driver and 36 inches for the
iron is quite long enough. The long
er club is in no way more powerful
than the short one. And on the 9TH
er hand, you must, remember that the
longer the club the farther you are
standing from your ball, and conse-
Quently the more difficult is it for you
to strike it with perfect accuracy.
Closely connected with the length
of the shaft Is the lie OF the club
head, that Is to say, the angle which
the head makes with the shaft. The
way to test this is to hold the club in
an easy, natural position with the
sole Of the head on the ground as If
in the act of addressing the ball. If
when you do this the sole of the club
is lying fat on the ground then you
may rest assured the lie of the
club is exactly suited to your require
ments. But If the toe is cooked up.
however slightly, into the air, you
may be perfectly certain that either
the lie of the head is too nearly at
right angles to suit you, or, what is
much more likely, that the shaf; is
longer than you can conveniently use.
1T is difficult to give advice upon
such vexed questions as the shape of
the driver head. Fancy is everything
in these matters, but if the beginner
has no prediction either way, 1
think that a medium-sized head with
a straight face fairly represents the
golden mean in this direction. Lucki-
ly iron heads are all very much alike
in essentials and there is no need for
you to worry much over the choice
there. Ihe shaft of the iron should
be stir without being absolutely
rigid, but in the case of the wooden
club a certain amount of fiexibility is
permissible and even advisable. Do
not use too whippy club to begin
with, however; it is always more diff
ficult to control than, fairly stiff
one, and moreover is usually less
suited to stand the strain or sudden
jar upon the turf of the teeing ground
such as even the most promising of
beginners is apt at times to obtain. :"

Chinese BEAT
KANSAS BOYS

& LAWRENCE, Kansas, April 1S.--
The All-Chinese baseball team of
Hawaii defeated the University of
Kansas nine here this afternoon by
a score of eight to five.
The game was close throughout and
hard fought on both sides, but victory
rested finally with the crack team
composed of Americanized Chinese
from the Hawaiian Islands. The at
tendance was exceptionally large and
the greatest interest was taken by all
in the admirable work Of the visitors.
Their basc-running and stick work
excelled that of the university men.
