GOLF GOSSIP

Allow me to start by saying that
make no pretenee at being an expert
on putting, and that this article is
merely intended 10 convey few little
hints which have come up from time
to time. -" . r@e
People say that putting Is merely q
matter Of practise. but there are ex.
ceptions to this rule, for | know 4
number Of very fine putters who new.
er practise at all, and yet the strength
and line Of the putt always seems to
come naturally to them. To most Of
US, however. practise alone can give
the delicate touch so necessary for
holing the four or five-foot putt, and
| II the practise Is made at q small
hole (say 2is inches In diameter), II
viii improve the players game enor-
mously.
But the practise must be on sound
lines, otherwise It win net do much
good, and each putt must be almost
as carefully studied as II the most
important match Of ones whole CO
reer depended upon II. This does not
mean tedious examination Of every
blade Of grass between the ball and
the hole which, as most people
know, is no advantage whatever but
Just q little careful study until one
has determined upon the exact line.
/ Sometimes, on an 0ndulating green,
the line is not found 30 readily; but
think any reasonable sportsman will
not object to his opponents spending
little extra time 50 long as they do
not lose their place on the course
might here add that In trying to find
the line for putt. I have come to the
conclusion that It Ii Q good tip TO get
down Just as low as possible to the
ground. a. that position seems to
show up the slopes more readily
Many people consider that the best
plan Is to keep two putters, for 2
change win sometimes have mar
vellous effect, but within my own ex.
perience It Is better to keep to one.
There Is usually some very good rear
son for bad putting. and by far the
best thing to do IL 10 go off to some
good green and Just practise until the.
fault has been detected.
One Of the most important things IL
to notice which side Of the hole the.
bali Is missing. n for instance, you
md you have pulled your puts on the
first three or four green's. 4 slight al
teration IN the stance or method Of
hitting will often result in sinking q
good one within the next hole or two.
BY the way eok hnal advice. if you
practise putting. do not specialize on
any particular length; play l6ne ana
short ones on both flat and undulat-
ing green's. 8
The above Is another 81 G. B.'s fne
little contributions TO the game which
are 90 useful It is a pity that every
one Is not fortunate enough to see
them regularly.

Have Become National Issues.

our Republic is now graphing
with great moral problems deeply
affecting it's very existence. some
uf these problems have at last he-
come national tissues, RI" uollti-
clans have done nll they could to
keep them in the background, but
they have failed.
The passage OF the Webb Liquor
Gin marked the entrance Of temper
uncc n Il national issue. Hence
forth it will be regarded as the great
est issue in the life of the nation,
not even excepting slavery. Con-
grcs. will now he the center Of the
gigantic conflict. The great struggle
will be to take the national govern
mont uut of partnership with the
liquor business The stupendous
question viii be Hs to whether or
not n great nation for r" iHHch
money in hand paid-called revenue
will continue IN partnership with Il
horde of criminals who are wreck
ing homes, destroying families and
numbering it's citizens by the tens
Of thousands ever year. T. be still
more specific, tho question for Con-
gress to determine will he as to
whether or not, for so much blood
money paid into the national cof.
fers, IA Christian republic will be
permitted longer to legalizc the most
colossal crime in the history of the
world, These are strong words, but
every fair, intelligent American will
now admit that they express the
plain truth.
What Is the duty OF tn" temper
ance advocates in this supreme
crisis? Beyond cnvil they must
fight. In ali the annals Of tim" no
great evil has over it been removed
without IA fight. God In His in
srrutable economy has So ordained
IT, And there is only one way in
which they eau fight in this behalf,
aud that il to send meu to the two
houses of Congress who will work
and vote tu take the national gov
eminent out of partnership with the
liquor traffic. The work of educa.
ton should continue, but the time
for action has come.

Bryan Not Dominant.

Long before the President had an
nounced his cabinet, in fact imme-
diately alters the election, certain
Republican papers began to com.
ment on the position Mr. Bryan
would occupy in the administration
avering that he would he the whole
show; that Wilson would be figure
head and that Bryan would pull the
wires. OF course such statements
were to be expected from such
sources; but many people prOIes selI
to believe that such would be the
case. Mere than month has
passed since the new officers went
on the job, yet there has been no in
dication Of Bryan's domination. On
the other hand, to AN outsider, ii
looks like Bryan has had pertinent
suggestions in administering the af-
fairs of State. Announcement of
the attitude of the L. S. toward
the Central ana South American
States was made from the White
House, 80 was the policy toward the
,erstwhile dollar Diplomacy" An
other, and still more important mat.
ter, was the statement regarding the
recognition of the Chinese Republic.

nsnts would have come from the Of

One Game Ahead in Factory
League With But One More

Top place in the factory league is
apparently cinched by the Marseilles
team as a result of Saturdays con-
tests. By easily defeating Deere &
Mansur the Marseilles players kept
the lead, one game ahead of Deere &
Co. and Silvis shops, who are ii, fer
second place. There is but one more
series to play and so Marseilles may
possibly be tied, but not beaten out
except through the playing off of a
tie. Deere Harvester continued its
record of unbroken defeats.
The closest game of the entire series
was that between Deere & Co. and the
Moline Pillow company on Browning
field, which the former won l to 0, the
only score being registered in the

since the introduction of the republic
an regime.
The report declares that since the
fall of the Manchus the policy of sup
preston agreed upon between China
and Great Britain has been weakened,
and that there has been an immense
recrudescence in the cultivation OF
the drug. In the provinces of Anhui,
Human and Shantung the campaign
for the suppression of the cultivation
of the plant has been successful. and
in consequence the importation OF
Indian opium into these provinces will
cease. But investigation in other parts
of the republic tells a different tale.
In many of the provinces the authori-
ties are powerless to prevent cultiva-
ton; in others there is collision be-
tween the powers and the growers.
ana in still others the Officials are not
inclined to deprive themselves of a
rich source of revenue.
The reports, however, are not all
from official sources, many being sup
piled by missionaries and travellers,
so exact figures are impossible. The
minister concludes with the statement
that a great deal must be done before
the work Of suppression can be con-
sidered as complete.
