O6eict to Studios.

Notwithstanding the fact that five years ago most of the land in Hollywood. Cal. which is now oc- cupied by great film studios was used for pasturage many of the res idents Of that section have tried to put the studios out of business.
 They caused an ordinance to be introduced into the council, limiting the height of fences to five feet The Los Angeles city council immediate ly killed the ordinance. When the matter was brought up before the council one speaker for the film companies brought out big laugn by suggesting that the height of the fences had caused the straining of many necks and possibly that was the principal objection.
 The. film people claim that if this ordinance had been passed they would have moved away from Holly wood in a body. Eighty-fve per cent. of the employees of the stu dios live in Hollywood.

Knack and Practice
The answer is that individual problems
in golf are beyond our earnest range.
Evans picked up the knack of driving
when he was a kid, had confidence in
his stroke, and so required no practice.
on the other hand, Evans started put
ting on slow greens with a midiron, lost
his confidence when he hit fast greens
and had to use n putter and constant
practice failed to help because his trou-

By SANDY McNIBLICK

TIGHTY-Two pounds OF American youth
II went out on the trail of a full-booded
200-pound Chippewa Indian, at Cobb's Creek
and just naturally scalped the big redman
by Il margin OF five strokes on the golf
course

faced, tow headed golfer, sticks out his boy

Freddy" is actually about half head
taller than his driver. It's an old grass
blackened bludgeon. and "Reddy" has to
take mean grip on Its middle to hold II in
line when he swings into the ball. But he
has the exact form OF the expert pro, the
stance the tiny over-the-ball waggle, and
the shot-tImlng that make for distance.

One of the best professional golfers we

his life--that is, actual practice not In

the game when kid in Scotland, so his
case is not one to follow.
Confidence and Such
Judging from the above" continued the
Gentlemanly Duffer. you would say that
confidence in a club is big part OF the
game. Then explain this--I, and many 9TH
ers that I know have gone out frequently
when we had full confidence in our game
and were sure of good scores Yet we
played miseraby on other days we have
gone out when we had no confidence in any
club. yet everything seemed to be easy and
each shot came Off much better than our
normal game. Why is that?"
We began to have a brief but strong in
ward hunch that our afternoon was going
to be total loss.
We had only this answer. Confidence In
club counts on the average, not for indi-
vidual instances. Golf, more than any
other game, is matter of one days or one
weeks mental attitude. OF sudden, for no
apparent reason, one Is off. Why? The
player is In good health, has been playing
good golf conditions are all favorable--and
yet he can't hit shot why again2 Be.
cause his mental attitude for the day is all
Rwry, out of gear or out of focus. There
is no coordination between his mind and
his muscle. AS old Don Marquis has said,
Mind is superior to matter--when there Is
nothing the matter"
But IL the proper coordination between
brain and muscle is lacking, no living man
can haul 1t together again under fire.

The p. r. r, Y. NJ. C. A. Athletic
Grounds will be the ecene of fine battle to-
day when the Victrlx Catholic Club and the
Shanahan Catholic Club meet in the Gath
Annual Field Day of the c. Y. NJ. a. U.
These two clubs will not claim all of the
attention, for there will he several other
clubs in the Catholic Champi 'nshlps, but
the real struggle and interest Ill be CEN
tered on them. 1t is generally conceded
that the meet will amount to practically
dual meet between the two clubs.
Both clubs are out for the title this year
and have been on the job bolstering up the
strength of their teams.
shanahan has won this title several
times, but does not seem to he willing to
give 1t up without hard fight. On the
other hand the Victrix Club has never
really been a favorite contender for the
prize This year II has stolen march on
its rivals and seems to be the likely win
ners
Meet is Closed
Since this meet Is closed affair the
clubs can take men from other clubs and
use them for this meet without hurting the
standing of these men under the rules of
the A. a. u
This condition has sent both clubs out
after material and they both Jared very
well, with VictrIx probably having a little
the better of It..
Shanahan has a host of stars on It's list.
Frank Dorsey. Penns next years captain,
and Eddie Meehan, local boy and student
of Notre Dame University, being two of
its prominent runners.
The VictrlX Club also has a few local
schoolboys and college men wearing its
coors. Tom Dougherty, Eddie Brennan
Gillian and others will sport the Victrix
emblem.
A. A. u. Championships
All the athletic clubs i'm the Middle Allan
tic district are out getting ready for their
A. A. U. championships which will take
take place on Houston Field, August 26
Tho games promise to be the best this dis
trict has staged for many years both for
the number of contestants and for the cali
ber of men who are to represent their re-
spective clubs.
Germantown Boys Club will put team
out which will be n well-balanced bunch.
Samuel ]. Dallas and Jimmy Curran, of the
Meadowbrook Club, have not been asleep,
however. and will have bunch which are
out for the highest honors and will not be
denied without hard struggle.

has a man who is good for a couple of
places. Harvey Reed and Davis. two Mer-
