LOST AND FOUND
ONE TIN LIZZIE

A few minutes after the eight
o'clock whistle blew Monday morn
ing John Magee. of Tonopah jumped
into his working toys and rushed out
TO the garage to feed and water his
pet machine before starting on the
daily grind. says the Elko Independ-
ent. At the entrance OF the barn he
suddenly stopped---for why should he
go any farther. when Miss Ford was
nowhere to be found. She was gone
Horrors, What was he going to do
for did he not have to bump many
miles to and from work?
Uttering a mild imprecation. the
owner decided to wreck vengeance
on all implicated in the bold crime.
The sheriff's Office was called. No
trace OF the car. Bill Evans. In the
police office, however, promised to
run down the mystery. Bill scratched
his head. stamped one foot on the
floor and--an idea. Who owned the
car standing at the side of the 7. &
G.. meat market? This must be the
right machine for no one had courage
enough to claim the boat.
Magee was notified and within a
short time was on the scene. Sure
enough. this was his dear old Eliza
beth. He wept tears over her tin
TANKS and vowed she never more
would leave his side.

Shattered Confidence.

/, was this shattered confidence in
his ability to putt that caused the bulk
Of Chicks trouble on the green. lie
changed putters frequently. and he
changed putting styles. lie tried the
upright stsrce end the crouch. the low
grip and the high grip, the wide stance
and the close stance.
But through it all there was woven
Jagged thread Of confidence which
continually snapped under the strain.
Evans could putt we'll enough with
little at stake. although even here ne
was not a Travcrs or Travis.
But once IN tight match there
would come to him. b-consciously a,
first. that lurking dread. that growing
lear. of missed putt. And. as the
strain began 10 grow. this dread or
fear began to increase through a hard
match until finally there was regis
tered a distinct and indelible impress
sion upon his sub con scious mind the
belief that he could not putt.

4 Few Wherefores.

We saw Chick Evans play good
many years ago. when he first began
to attract national notice. In those
days the putting greens of the West
were fairly heavy and slow in compsri-
son with the faster, smoother greens
OF the East.
And in those days. under such con-
ditions, Evans began TO use a n1idiron
rather than q putter for the delicate
process Of getting the ball close or
into the cup.
Chick was putting with a mdiron the
first time we ever saw him play, ana
ne was laviEg his long approach puts
close enough to get down steadily in
two to the green. The long midiron
approach putt was almost n CHIP shot
and tho shorter pu;t to the hole was
half-topped affair that held the line.
