GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
Perplexities of Uneven Stances and
Lies of the Ball.
By STRAIGHT DRIVE

Unless the ball is cupped a level
| stance tnsures a clean hit, provided the
swing be true. But problems appear
when player is forced to stand above
or below the ball. and when he must
| take stance when both are on a hill
I side facing each other" Very often
the incidents of slope make the shot
risk, yet the shot that seems i'm
possible may be well played by modi-
flying the usual stance, swing and "trip
Once I saw Harry Vardon, during his
first tour in 1900, rise superior to these
| adverse circumstances in a wonderful
way.
Nardon stood one down to the best
ball Of two amateurs during game
over "dinky" Adirondack course when
the ball from the drive lodged on
tree stump about foot above the
ground. Originally farm land on
clearing in the woods. well rotted
stumps abounded just off the fairway.
Vardon gripped his brassey low down
on the leather and sent the ball to the
green. $50 yards or SO. with a jerked
hit. The follow on almost demolished
the stump, which had been sundried
into punk, and the ball scared off in a
cloud OF brown dust to its haven, to the
CONSERVATION of the amateurs, who
never after had a look in to win the
match.
There are some courses so hilly that
only Rocky mountain goat or an Alps
chamois would ever walk them for
pleasure II the fascination of golf did
not blind the club members to the
pedestrian difficulties Of the round. A
ball resting above the player is often
easy to get away, for in an exagger-
ated manner it is teed for him. low
| swing from loose grip will do the
trick, and, IL necessary, the shaft may
be foreshortened. as Vardon did when
facing the stump.
| ball presents more difficulties. for to
swing too far means tumble. The
| only thing to do Is to take solid
stance by digging the heels into the
earth, a pose to suggest the rock
shall fly from its Arm base as soon
as L. and chance the shot.
When both player and ball are on
hillside. the line being up the ascent
there is tendency to top in the fear
| of skying the ball. The main thing
then is to get the ball away, careless
| how high it may soar. In hanging
| lies, the worst Of all, the risk depends
! in degree on the sharpness of the slope
| 1t is safest on a long descent; most
difficult when there is a clump of earth
Just beyond the ball. The best rule is
| to plan for an easy swing, using the
club that will help most and to go
| to it,"

ANNOUNCEMENTS
DAVIS THEATRE TONIGHT
The Blue Envelope.

To thoroughly arouse an audience to uproar1ouS and health giving laughter requires the efforts of a mas ter builder of farce, and it is in this
 respect that Richard Lambert, the producer of The Blue Envelope, which will be the attraction at the Davis theatre tonight.
 The story of The Blue Envelope has to do with John Doe, a man of high standing in his native Canoes. Does sympathies have been touched by an article in a matrimonial journal signed The Clinging Vine. He replies that he is "A Sturdy Oak" and after numerous letters have passed between the two, they arrange a clandestine dinner at an uptown restaurant in New York. Bidding his wife a fond i farewell Doe leaves Canoes ostensibly for Bermuda. He arrives in New York and makes a flying start in a taxicab for the trysting place. There Is an exciting ride up Broadway, a sudden accident, and before Doe re- covers from his dazed state he finds that he and a bewitching feminine stranger, who in some manner mys- { terious to him has become his com- panion, are being subjected to treat rnent by beauty doctor, to whose es- tablishment they have been taken by a mistaken zealot in the quest for the office of a regular physician. Before the philandering husband can extricate himself from this situation Mrs. Doe arrives on the scene. Complications are forced one upon another in quick succession.
 The only company presenting The Blue Envelope on tour is this partic- ular one, regardless of the usual cus- tom of managers to place number "2" and '3" companies on tour in a me- tropolitan success. Another interest," ing and alluring feature in connection with this engagement is the fact that the S1.6O scale of prices will prevail.

ministration. If the measure had gone before the Belgian parliament there would probably have been a long de- bate, as there was in the American congress. But with the Belgian par Iiament scattered, the Belgian eXecu- expeditions means of issuing a decree which fully constitutes the shipping concern and establishes all the main details of organization.
 The need of ships to bring Ameri- can relief supplies was the immediate cause for the forma tion of the Bel gian company. although once formed for this purpose it has now taken on much larger dimensions as one of Bel gium'S weapons in the economic and trade struggles growing out of the war.
 With the great Belgian shipping port of Antwerp occupied by the Ger mans, the headquarters of the new company had to be at the little port of La Parme on the short stretch of front still held by the Belgian ar my, lying west of the Yser river. The organizers also have been Belgian re- fugees in London and Paris, who had formerly been the chief bankers and shipping merchants of Antwerp. These were Arthur F. Brys. Henry M. Gye- sen, Amand Griser, Emile Deckers and John Schobbens, former shipping mer- chants of Antwerp. now living in Lon don; and Hector Carlier and Henri Borgers, former Antwerp bankers, now living in London and Paris.
 The government decree, confirming the act of organization. makes the concern Belgian in every respect ''and shall remain essentially Belgian" All the officers and directors must be Bel gians. Contracts are prohibited which would permit the concern to pass into foreign hands, or be controlled by for eigners. No stockholder can vote as the representative of a foreigner or under foreign influence: Belgian ex- ports and imports are guaranteed as favorable treatment as is given to foreign products. Freight rates arc Belgian commerce and industry sent abroad in soliciting trade.
 The decree also provides that Bel gian sailors shall be employed as far as available; Belgian passengers shall have the fullest facilities. and Bel gian ports favored as far as possible in traffic arrangements. The foreign agencies are to be run by Belgians, and two government commissioners are to watch over this Belgian char acter of the organization. Without the consent of these government off, cers, the society is specifically for bidden from taking a subsidy from a foreign government.
 At a meeting held later at La Par me, the organizers above named were chosen directors and auditors of the company. The ships acquired at the outset included a number of "tramps, '' particularly useful just now when reg ular trade routes are interrupted. The purpose, however, is to secure liners for competition in the regular trans atlantic service, which is expected tC

Havre, France. Oct. 2.-The Belgian authorities here are going ahead with the forma tion of an extensive govern ment shipping organization. known as the Royal Belgian Lloyd. which they expect to take rank with the principal ocean carrying organizations now in existence. Of the $20.000,000 capital, all of which has been paid in. the Belgian government has subscribed S15, ,000, 900 and has guaranteed the payment of the bonds on the concern.
 Already thirty-nine steamers have been acquired, and an ambitious pro- gram of buying and building is laid out for the next five years, notwith- standing that Belgium is supposed to be at present prostrate under Ger man domination.
 The Belgian organization is some thing like the new American shipping measure. Each is a measure for de- veloping the merchant marine of the country. and each has the principle of private operation of the ships, with government surveillance over the ad-
