Thousands of golfers in thlS Well
bunkered land spend a world of time
| developing the proper grip--the proper
stance-the follow through--and num-
Der of other attachments to correct form.
But not one golfer in 10000 spends
! any time at all in trying to develop the
main ingredient of golfing success, which
is simply this-patience.
Not only patience for practice, but
patience for the missed putt, the sliced
drive, the topped mashie to II bunker.
The patience that can take the game
exactly as II comes and that counts
everything which may happen as nat
ural part of the days play.
An Illustration
When Harold Hilton the great Eng
lish amateur. was last over here, this
defect struck him above anything else.
"You people, he said, "are keen for
golf and hard workers at it, but some
times too keen. Too many of you are
inclined to expect too much. You ex-
pect every lie through the fairway to
be perfect-and If it isn't you imme-
diately develop an impatience and let
this upset your play. What you call
a good brassie lie over here we call
driver le, and we look at 1t as a
rare piece of good fortune"
Which is quite true. The average
golfer takes his good luck as natural
part of the game; but his bad luck is
supposed to be some fiendish freak of
fate sent to harass-his soul.
The Case of Bender
Here Is a case In point, Some time ago
we were playing with Charles Albert
Bender, the Chippewa chief, who is almost
as adept at golf as he is at tossing base
ball over the outside or inside corner.
Bender, playing the course for the first
time. made what he thought was perfect
shot for the green. The ball was cleanly
hit and on the straight line home. But a
hidden trap of which he knew nothing
caught the shot 20 yards short.
You know what the average golfer I'M
der such conditions would have said and
done. The squawk would have been i'm
mediate-and lusty, Tough luck" we
said NO" said Bender. sit wasn't tough
luck; 1t was my fault. l should have asked

What 1t Is

" HaI IT IB
We know of at least two crack anna
teurs who might have won championships
but for this fatal lack OF patience. What
is patience? II is first OF all the faculty
needed for practice for the grinding part
of the game that has no thrill. 1t is the
faculty of being able to come upon bad
lie and take this as natural part of the
game and act accordingly without being
upset 1t is the faculty of being able to
miss n short putt and take this also as a
part OF the game. and so forget about it.
1t is the faculty. you might say, of
knowing In advance that in the course of
every average round there will be bad
lies encountered, drives sliced and puts
missed. That these things are all In
evitable happenings. That TO the true
philosopher there is more glory In playing
a good shot from a bad lie than from a
good one

Expect Too Much

The main trouble is that most golfers
except too much from their game. The
golfer who plays around 80 expects to
have rs. The golfer whose game is IS
is sore because he didn't land an 80. The
100 golfer figures he should have had an
easy 95.
Each round the average golfer figures
that something happened to wreck his
score which will not happen on the next
round He figures this as a piece of ex-
ceptional hard luck. One day it is poor
driving; the next bad putting; the next
something else. But he finds 1t hard to
meet these various upsets with equanimlty.
Which is only natural and human. II is
much simpler to mention these defects
than II is to correct them And yet they
can be corrected just as slice, hook or
other physical faults can be corrected.
And nothing will pay more than this
practice of patience. 1t means a steadler
grip. a surer touch. cleverer eye. The
golfer whose disposition Is torn apart by
hard luck or a bad shot is up against IT,
The needed control upon his nervous sys-
tenn Is gone. He is a rudderless ship upon
stormy sea.

Why was Farnam street named
Farnam street, And after whom
were Dodge, Douglas, Harvey, How

Listen, and this Well of Wisdom
will explain to you.
Farnam street was named after
Henry Farnam, a wealthy banker Of
Hartford, Conn. He was one of the
principal hnanciers of the Rock Island
railroad, which had reached as far
west as Iowa City when Omaha's
first streets were named. He was a
friend of DIR. Enos Lowe, who got
the street named for him.
Thus did Omaha escape having its
main thoroughfare named Main
street But suppose this great Rock
Island fnancier's name had been
Sznbolowzski! Think of what nigh,
have befallen us!
Dodge street was named for A. c
Dodge, once great man in Iowa at
fairs.
Lincoh's Opponent.
Douglas street was named after
Stephen A., "the Little Giant" whom
Abraham Lincoln defeated for the
presidency.
And right here it is noteworthy thai
practically all the streets of the
original Omaha that were named aft

cratic statesmen. Think of the dense
darkness that must have yelled the
minds of the people in those days
Just think of It'll

General Henry Leavenworth, WHIT

of 1872, was recognized in the nam
ing of that street. He founded For
Leavenworth, Kan.
Mason street was named TO
Judge Mason of the Iowa bench, ant
Marcy for William l.. Marcy,
democratic statesman born in Massa
chusetts in 1872. Pacific street wa
named for the Pacific Ocean.
Pierce street was named for Frank
