In the opinion of Harry Vardon,, the
English golf expert, the acme Of con
troll lies in the ability to slice or pull
q ball at will. On occasions Vardon
has extricated himself from tight
places by resorting to this form Of
master shot, but It is doubtful if any.
nne has the pulled ball down to such
a point Of science as had the late Will
Anderson. Ia
1t was at Oakland some fifteen
years ago when the course at Bay
Side consisted of nine holes that An
derson had a chance to show his won
derful cleverness in this line. Being
the Bautusol professional at the time,
Anderson had been selected by James

q member Of the Oakland Golf club,
and: Dave Hunter, at that time the
professional there. In playing what
was the home hole the drive was over
q deep valley to a level stretch Of
turf beyond, after. which the hole
turned sharply to the left around a
point Of woods.
IN those days Of the solid ball,
golfers considered It a good Stunt

a man makes the study OF the auto
business his life work when he enters
the Office Of an auto concern.
THE game is just like a business.
The man who studies It, who is at.
tentive, who is ambitious, who does
what's right, who gives the club all
that he possesses, who takes care Of
himself, is the man who will stick to
the game and who will find that it
will pay him dividends as long as
any other line OF work would.
Just consider for a moment how
many minor league clubs in this coun.
try are more than enxious to get a
man Of intelligence at a good salary
to manage their clubs. Think 81 the
number Of scouts employed by major
league clubs. There's room for every
man who is willing to try to advance
in his profession.
Il don't intend to sermonize. Int
that's a plain statement of fact, and
conditions support my argument.

healthy salary, On the contrary, | be.

mean to convey is the idea that the
ball player should work for the future
Just as the young fellow does in other
lines of work"
