GOLF GOSSIP

Under the title Letters to the Mod
crate Golfer" Golf Illustrated pub
fishes some excellent bits Of golfing,
advice. The author is Sandy Hoi-
lows" and Sandy certainly knows the
woes of the goIfer who goes wrong.
The letter is as follows: II.
l am sorry to hear you are clean on
your game again, but | do not think
it is necessary for you to purchase an
entirely new set of clubs ON that ac-
count! There have been times when
you have played a really good game
with your present implements, so the
fault must lie with yourself, and you
must try and find out what You are
doing wrong. You know my three
maxims well enough, SO Just ask Your
self after each poor shot which OF
them you have transgressed.
lihe the way you have of always
going for" anything within reason,
but you must not expect to perform
wonders with brassie Just because
you have topped your drive into the
rough. On these occasions it is some
times wise to play short of that far
bunker and then try and chip your
approach dead. Ii you 90 in for try
ing impossible carries YOU are almost
sure to start pressing lin fact, | think
that is one of your chief faults at
present, judging from those wild pulls
and slices YOU describe.
You must take il easily don't
say, necessarily, slowly back to the
extent of making your swing into a
tedious, unsightly push, but play we'll
within yourself with every club. Start
slowly, then continue fairly quickly, If
IL suits you, hut it is absolutely neces-
sary that you should retain full control
of the club; the moment you lose that
nothing but good fortune can save
your shot from being dismal failure.
You must try and time your strokes
better; or, in other words, you must
try and bring your wrists and should
ers into play the moment the club
head comes in contact with the. ball.
Those terrific smites of yours are not
the slightest use if all their force is
expended in mid-air before the club
head reaches the ball, and that is what
does happen when you try and hit too
hard.
/ think the greatest asset toward
proper timing is to cultivate an even
swing back after addressing the ball
So many people bring their club-head
away with a kind of unsteady witch
or give. a great lurch at the top Of
their swiDg. Either of these actions
is bound to throw the whole stroke
out of gear and consequently irender
proper timing extremely unlikely. -
Another great fault to be avoided is
oyer-swinging. II is not necessary to
take back even your driver beyond the
horizontal, and remember this-you
are probably swinging much further
back with all your clubs than you
think you are doing
i Unless your know your caddie we'll
and, what is more important still,
your caddie knows you, 1t Is wiser
for you to make your own selection
of what particular implement to use
on each occasion. always remember
ing, If in doubt, to use the WOre pow
erful of any two clubs. There is,
am aware, a certain satisfaction in
having some one to turn round and
blame if you miss your shot; but
after alls that's poor sort of game,
and it's really your own fault for not
knowing better.

Tennis NOTES
FROM KAHlAu|

Especial Star~Bulletin Correspondence
KAHULUI, April 3.-The Kahului
Tennis Club has invited the Puunene
Club TO compete in doubles tourna-
ment on April 6. About sixteen teams
in all viii participate.
Interest in the games for the Plum
enc Store cups, TO be played in May
rext. handfeap doubles, continues to
grow, and Il looks now as though
twelve teams will participate, Paia en-
tering three, Puunene three, Lahaina
one, Kahului three and Wailuku two.
At Punnene in the three-cornered
Il looks now as though 1t would win
the prize. the office and mill teams
fighting out the second place.
Collins and Lindsay had round OF
four sets on the Kahului courts with
the Walsh brothers, and defeated them
sfter hard battle.
Wailuku is trying to get start for
some new courts but there seems to
he no one who will take the initiative.
With some of the best material on
! the island to start with, the town
should have a strong club, which
would be good thing for tennis, as
there would then be better chance
for inter-club games This would keep
up the interest in the game until Au-
gi:st. when Maui would have better
chancesat Honolulu,s scalp than in the
past. -... H..
Baseball is waking up, the kahului
players having ordered their suits
from the East. They are also show
ing great enterprise in getting their
team together, and have the promise
OF good lively team for the coming
season.

Cares Not for Averages

Cares Not for Averages it,.
To Illustrate the second phase indi-
eating the transition gradually COM
ing over the world of sports John J.
McGraw, manager of the New York
Giants, has signed, within the past
few days, two men of whose average
he knows scarcely anything, thus cast
ing to the winds the iron-bound prec-
edents of the years past, when any
player, in order to get in the big show,
was forced to possess batting aver
age as glfstening as fools gold, and
fielding average which, topped those
of al the other .playeGsEine his organi-,
zation. ..'...>*- r .g
What does this portend? Well, for
one thing it indicates that McGraw is
not going to depend on figures to tell
him whether or not he has good ball
player. The baseball world is full of
instances where statistics have fled
most outrageously in determining a
certain players ability. Instead of
this, the Giant leader is going to take
into account more and more the ath-
lete's natural ability, and forget Us
much as possible the element of aver
ages. ::*
There. can be but one result to this
method of procedure. Contrary to
hoary axioms, figures do lie, but nat
ural ability, being tangible and amen
able to development cannot. Give
me man physically well-developed,
with head on his shoulders instead
of a box of bone, keen eye and a
q
ball-player," says McGraw And who
should say that his method is not the
better, in the face of the dismal fail
ures that have been recorded since
ball-players were shown the portals
of the big league gates solely on ac-
count of lot of figures narrating
their past performances in other
leagues:

TRICKS DOCTOR
.H= TO SAVE HIM

]. ID. Byrne. a San Francisco bust
ness man, for long time president OF
the California Fig Products Co, heard
that a friend, a young physician, was
fading under a hard case of Brights
Disease. The doctor becoming thor
oughly discouraged, Byrne induced
him to consent to use something he
would take to him. ~
Byrne went to the nearest drug
store. bought a bottle of Buttons Re-
nal Compound, soaked the label off
and took it to the patient. He began
to mend and Byrne got him another
bottle and still another. ..
When recovery was in Sight he was
told it was Fulton'S Renal Compound.
And this is not the first case of this
kind. A number of cases have been
reported in which the patients were
so certain nothing could be done that
they too had to be deceived to put
them in the way of recovery.
There is no escape whatever from
the fact that Bright's Disease is be-
ing cured by Fulton's Renal Com
pound. If you have Bright's Disease
you owe it to yourself and family to
try Fulton's Renal Compound before
giving up. 1t can be had at Honolulu
Drug Co. ... -. IT,.

ton into the durability of Bright's Dis

Probably the wise Solons of the leg

The Hawaii polo team Game

Yesterday the local combination
turned the tables on the San Mateo
Slashers, the crack four Of the
Coast, winning the second game OF
the series. for the Merchants Cup by
score of 1917 to 5h. This makes
honors even in goIls as well as
games, for II. was by exactly this
score that Hawaii went down TO de-
feat last Sunday The deciding
game is to lie played next Sunday
afternoon, according to the original
schedule. .'-... -s..-@ %.
There are half a dozen WAYS to
account for the much improved
showing OF the Hawaii team, but the
cable report tells little besides the
score and the fact that the game
was of the whirlwind variety, and
therefore acFiticism Is little better
than guesswork. II seems most prob
able, Though, that the sudden brace
of the team is due to Frank Bald

full sprained knee which he received
at Coronado kept him out of the sad
die for many days, and even when
he was able to ride again, he must
have favored the injured member to
a certain extent, besides having lost
the keen edge OF his condition. II
he suffered no further injury in the
first game against the Slashers,
Baldwin very likely regained his
strength and playing form fast, and
II he was back in top form yesterday
that alone might account for the turn
of the tide.
Again, the Hawaii players have

we're able to convert paper polo into

team work ever seen in California,
and this may have been put to good
use.
Presumably the Slashers played
their regular combination of Dick
Tebin, Deveraux, Driscoll and Ho-I

in California. IL Hawaii, with its reg
ular line up, turned the trick on this
team, there is no reason why they
