(OT rSOME PRACTICAL HINTS
ON DRIVING

Ten or twelve years ago the player
who could drive the ball a long way,
even though it was sometimes a little
off the line, was a man greatly to be
feared, but the construction of courses
has altered so much, and the rubber
cored ball has shortened the holes to
such an extent, that nowadays straight
driving of moderate length is really of
far greater all-round value than pro-
digious hitting. though I will not deny
that there are times when the latter is
most useful, says a writer In the World
of Golf. At any rate, 1t is safe to say
that the average golfer will do well to
ignore the question of length until he
can hit practically every ball down the
middle of the fairway.
The temptation to go out for little
extra length when being outdriven by
ones opponent may be very great, but
do all in your power to resist 1t. 1t should
be clearly understood however, that 1t is
great mistake to spare shot with q
driver; Just play Il full shot. but do not
try to hit harder than is natural. Also
remember that it is not at all advisable
to use a club which is too long. You
may get q little farther with 1t, but the
frequent employment of a niblick to re-
cover from bunkers or rough grass soon
proves that the. extra length of the shot
IL of no particular value. Bear in mind
that James Braid and Ted Ray. two
comparatively tall men, use drivers of

named had contracted a glass arm, which
kept him out of the game. but did not
improve his temper nor soften his voice.
Cincinnati had few noise-makers of its

would drive a Iittel farther with longer
ones, but they find it pays to sacr flee
the extra distance for accuracy | am
afraid l have somewhat labored this
point. but do not think 1t can possibly
be exaggerated, since ones pleasure part
ly depends upon avoiding the rough grass
and other similar troubles.
In short space it is no easy matter
to give complete Instructions about diiy-
ing. but there are, in my humble opinion,
four outstanding points to be observed
strictly:
Firstly, take the club back slowly
Secondly, be sure that you are grip
ping firmly at the moment the club
strikes the ball.
Thirdly. do not lift the head.
And lastly. get the arms well through
in the direction of the hole.
There are few little things which are
nearly as important, such as executing
few practice swings before starting,
standing the correct distance from the
ball and selecting the best place on the
teeing ground. On some courses, in very
dry or very wet weather, the last item
is an important one. for there are few
things more fatal to Il good drive than to
be standing i'll an uncomfortable position
And last. but not least. find out the
height of tee which suits you best, and
keep to it; in windy weather it may be
necessary to vary it little. but this il
point for each golfer to decide for him
self.

GR|FF SENDS OUT
1914 CONTRACTS
Some Thirty-0dd Players Re-
main to Be Signed for
Nationals Squad.
MIKE MARTIN COMPLETES
TRAINING ARRANGEMENTS
Green Fence in Center Field One of
Concessions Players Obtained
From Commission.
BY J. ED GRILLO,

Anticipating the lifting of the order
which has prevented the members of the
players fraternity from signing for
next season, within the next few days,
Manager Griffith is busily engaged send
ing contracts to his players for their
signature.
Some thirty odd players remain to be
signed, Johnson, Gandil and Shaw being
the only ones who have affixed their
signatures for next season. Griffith does
not expect the slightest trouble getting
his players in line. Several of them who
have shown improvement in their work
will receive increases and there is not
single instance where a player will have
his pay reduced. Under such conditions
it is never very difficult matter to come
to terms with the players.
Trainer Mike Martin returned from
Charlottesville this morning, where he
made final arrangements for the housing
of the players during the training period.
The youngsters will be separated from
the regulars, it requiring two large dwell
ing houses to accommodate the big
squad Griffith will have in training this
year
The rising generation which is inclined
TO think that there is not much chance
tip from the history of some OF the
men who have sprung into base ball lime
light recently. For, Instance, there is
Joseph j. Lannin of Boston, who re-
Gently acquired a half interest in the
Boston American League club for more
than a quarter of a million dollars.
Lannin began his career as a bell
hop in Boston hotel. saved part of his
salary and all of his tips, dabbled in real
estate and nov owns acres of Long
Island real estate and several big hotels.
Then there is Charles Weeghman, the
hacker of the Chicago Federal League
cago restaurant ten years ago. He also
saved his tips and started a light lunch
cafe. He prospered and established an
other cafe. Thus he kept on, until at
the present time he has ten light lunch
places in the Windy City.
One of the demands which the players
made and which was granted was that
the fence in center field be painted green
on every grounds in the circuit. This
has been a hobby of most players for
years. They claim that it is impossible
for them to hit up to their standard when
that green fence is missing. Batters
claim that unless they have a green space
to look into when facing the pitcher it is
impossible for them to see the ball.
The American League has for years
furnished its players with uniforms. but
this has not been the case in the Nal
tional, where the clubs deducted $50
every year for uniforms. To have the
clubs furnish the uniforms was one OF
the demands which the players made
and which of course was granted.

Knabe, the new manager of the Baltimore
Federal League club. arrived in the city
yesterday. He talked over plans with the
local directors. knabe is here looking
over the field and will start out to seek

time looking up the addresses OF major
leaguers and decided to begin his real
work today.

SCHOLASTIC BASKET BALL.
League Opens Tomorrow With Battle
Between Eastern and Western.

The local Scholastic Basket Ball
league starts its schedule tomorrow aft
ernoon in the gymnasium of the mems
department of the Y. NJ. C. A, at 3
o'clock, with Eastern and Western High
Schools fighting for honors Western has
been at work for some time, and has
not shown to advantage. Adams, the
star center of last years team. who is
unable to play because of the lack of
time, is greatly missed, as he is one of
the best centers in the local schools.
Every effort is being made to get him out
with the squad, but to date he has not
been seen on the floor. Western lacks
to see it get the short end Of the score.
Eastern has been at work but a short
time and little is known of it's ability,
but as it has won the only two
games which it has played this year
it is the favorite for tomorrow's game.
Eastern will have but two veterans
in the lineup. and as both of these
are guards of last years team, Western
is likely to find 1t hard to get the ball
through the net, as its forwards will
be covered pretty closely. Eastern has
been without coach and has been work.

for first honors.
Both A. and n. Prep and Business have
good teams and good race is sure to

in the short period of its existence. as
evidenced by the substantial balance now
remaining in the treasury. One of the
most important resolutions passed at the
