GOLF GOSSIP

49,
There are a great many things to
remember in playing the game OF
golf. You get a lot Of advice about
what TO do and what not TO do. You
are taught in a dozen different ways
how TO drive the ball off the tee and
how to putt, but there are other i'm
port things that you must learn be-
sides the mere art OF hitting the ball.
Golf is at all times a mental game
and the player who plays great deal
or only once in while in competition
will discover that it is the thinking
part that gets him sometimes into the
most trouble. A bit of bad judgment
Is often more costly than a poorly
executed shot.
Francis Ouimet, the amateur cham
pion. has given some very valuable
Information along these lines that
every golfer would do we'll to read.
Ouimet's success at golf can be un-
questioned. His rare judgment in
playing both match and medal rounds
is worthy OF an older and more expe-
rienced head This is in substance
what he has written:
A thing that always try to re-
member in playing golf is to keep
from letting my opponents game in
huence me in any way. Often we take
too much notice of what he is doing
For instance, he may play an iron
shot on to the green ten or fifteen
feet from the cup. The first thing
you would think OF naturally is to
either get inside of his ball or make
your shot just as good as his. Nine
times out of ten, If you try to improve
on his shot you will wind up by max
ing a worse enc in your anxiety to
Guido him.
in playing match play / always
try to take as little notice of his shots
as possible, II he makes a good one
j play one to the best of my ability
and the pin is my obiect-notshis ball.
III he makes a bad shot play one
just as we'll as | know how. This, of
course, all goes for match play only.
I'm medal play Il keep a close watch
on the card, and when 1t is a par four
hole try for par four. II it is a
I'VE hole I try to keep the figure
five In my mind. In doing this
usually find myself putting for a three
on the four holes and four on. the
i've holes. II have one bad hole
in medal play try not to be in too
much of a hurry TO make 1t up. -
For instance, IN I should take a
seven early in the round on a hole in
which the par issfour. there are three
strokes wasted. Now, instead of Try:
ing 70 make up those rec Strokessof'
the next few holes Il kply forget
about Il and 60. aloae md play the

executive sat in a lower box with
Speaker Holstein of the house.
Just as the game ended, Berger's
band struck up the national anthem
and the sailors were forced to come
to attention while the 1ess-patriotie
civilians filed out through the gates.
When AL Castle biffed out the
homer in the ninth, the majority of
the fans were midway between the

HNFTELD BARRACKS. April 49,
The hitherto invincible Third Bat
talon met its Waterloo yesterday
when It played the Second Battalion.
The latter team had been holding in
the bottom Of the league and we're
looked upon as an easy proposition
for the Third battalion. But when
the battle was over the mangled re-
mains OF the Third Battalion lay all
over the field.
The first seven innings saw some
of the highest fielding ever seen on
this diamond, each team pulling out
one run during that portion Of the
game.
In the first half of the eighth, the
Second Battalion began to make
things hum. With base on balls
and two singles they put pair Of
scores across and before the period
was up two errors in the outfeld had
added two more tallies. ~v. -. a~
That was a bitter enough pill for
the leaders to swallow but in the
ninth they Jared still worse Knock
ing 0'Neal out of the box with FIVE
hits for a start, they wound up by
clouting Johnson all over the lot and
making the score read 1S to !. ~.
This proved to be the final score
and the worst defeat ever inflicted In

PLANS CHANGED
ON VAN BUREN
PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE PRO-
POSED DISTRICT ADD ANOTHER
BLOCK AND CUT WIDTH
New Petition Filed Seeking 24-FOOt
ROadway-COntract for Polk Street
Paving Signed by City

The property owners residing in
what is known as the Van Buren street
proposed paving district, have peti-
toned the city council for the with
drawal of it's first petition and have
filed an amended petition which in
cludes an additional block of street
seeking pavement and asking that the
paved area on the street be "a feet
in width instead of 80 feet as original
ly intended. The matter will be
brought to the attention of the coun-
Gil at it's meeting Wednesday night.
The new petition provides for the
paving of Van Buren street between
Third and B streets; street from Van
Buren to Polk; A street from Van
Buren to Adams streets; B street from
Van Buren to Adams street. 1t is very
probable the council will act favO3-
ably on the petition providing it has
been signed by all the property own
ers interested.
The contract between the city and
Wycoff & Green of Spokane for the
paving of Polk street was signed on
the part Of the city today and will be
sent to Spokane for signatures of the
company. AS soon as the contract is
signed and the necessary bonds filed
and approved, the work of construc-
ton will begin. 1t is expected that the
contractors will begin work the pres
ent week.
