DIFFICULTIES ON GREENS
Playing for Cup From Lie on Slope
Verv Hard and Calls for
Drag Shot.

Sometimes on very keen greens the
golfer finds himself three feet above
the cup on a sloping hillside. 1t is a
most difficult matter to stop the ball
from running past the hole under these
circumstances, and the player might DO
well who would make strong bid for
the back of the cup. Very frequently II
the ball is hit on the toe of the club
il will be caused to drag little. and
perhaps stopped from running to an
impossible distance past the hole. With
an approach putt from a considerable
distance above the cup, much cut is
impaired to the ball by using stiff
wristed mashie run-up, and this often
is found better than simply hitting it
with a putter and allowing it to trickle
down to and sometimes way past the
hole.
Another "kink' is cutting the putt.
generally from right to left: as the ball
is twisting from left to right it will
stop in a shorter distance than Will a
straight putt. and on hitting the back
of the cup will drop with gratifying
'plunk," while straight hit bail is
liable to rim the tin.
Greens nowadays are constructed
the entire surface and frequently two
or three slopes lie between the bail
and the hole. No definite rule can be
laid down for the negotiation of these
difficulties, but it will be found that
the slopes generally compensate one
another. When near the hole a ball hit
slightly above the center will be more
apt to find a resting place in the bot
tom OF the cup than one hit squarely.
This is called topping the putt, and is
a very hard matter to regulate proper
Iy-that is: one is liable to put too
much top on the ball and not enough
forward spin. This matter of being
short of the cup is bad failing, and is
prevalent among ali classes of golfers.
If the ball is not up to the hole 1t has
no chance Of being holed. and some of
the long efforts are sure to 30 in If
The PLAYER gives them a chance. 1t has
been said that it is better to he three
feet beyond the hole than one foot on
the near side of it. and this is very
good advice
Cutting the ball around stymie is
NOT the difficult business it is held to
he OF course, when the opposing ball
lies on the lip of the cup it is very
hard to prevent knocking it in and at
the same time get past it. The general
rules for cut puts are: For pull. hit
the ball on the toe of the club. and for
a slice hit it on the heel at the same
time drawing the club in sharply. y

Familiarity, which we are told
breeds contempt among adults. is the
quickets way to change a Jealous cad
die into an inefficient helper. When the
schools are closed and the schoolboys
come focking for employment on the
links is a good time to formulate the
club and Individual rules for their con-
troll II is as well to frame the codes
on strict lines. In every neighborhood
where golf had start in the COS the
caddie boys of the pioneer days are
now voters and in other ways doing
their share in the community life
J have never heard any complaints
among the scores of ex-caddies with
whom golfing recollections are always
a welcome topic against a club. or
golfer. for being too strict on requiring
competent service. Per contra, in
looking backward, the former caddies
show little respect for the players
who were not smart enough to keep
them 'on the job" and no respect at
all for the men who were too close and
mean.
in Scotland usually order the caddie to
make the sand tee and place the ball
on it. If the golfer IS at scratch or
near it. the American boy is always
glad to please him by prompt obedi-
ence to what he regards mentally as
"all foolishness." The duffer who ex-
acts similar service is not waited on
so quickly, or as cheerful1y. The diff
ference is due to the hero worship of
the caddies for fine golfer. Among
our boys the interest becomes almost

Harry Eardon. who has a keen eve
for the humorous side of the many
caddies he meets, thought at first that

American caddie boys-Mas an imper-
tinence, but he changed very quickly
into warm admirer of their quick

One of the things he thought funny
was that should he ask the distance to

Nardon was accustomed to being

thought the caddies lacking in percep-
tion because they told him the distance
as stroke instead of In figures, as in
America.
When in the United States in 1913.
Vardon noticed that the caddies no
longer quoted measurements in reply
TO theisame query. but advised instead
the club to use. He opined from this
that the game had gripped them as
well as their employers
In dealing with the boys, it is wise
TO remember that the Juvenile caddie

leaves to see what he could find under
them, and his heart was happy, for
his stomach was full, and you know
full stomach, unless it be too full, al
most always makes happy heart.
Now, as he pulled over the red and
yellow and brown leaves, his sharp
eyes spied little brown seed. 1t was
a homely little seed which had fallen
from rough pine cone, and you and
I would very likely not have seen it
ut all, or if we had we would have
thought it of no account. But Happy
Jacks eyes sparkled when he saw that
homely little brown seed, for he knew
that it was very good to eat
Not that he was hungry. Oh, my,
no! There wasn't room in his stomach
for the least teeny, weeny bit more
just then. But Happy Jack knew that
there might come a time when his
stomach would not be so full, and then
that little brown seed would taste oh,
so good!
Now, he had hidden a great many
little brown seeds and fat nuts near
the Lone Little Path, so when he
picked up this particular little brown
seed quickly he scampered over the dry
leaves until presently he came to the
edge of the Green Forest. He looked
this way and he looked that way to
see if anyone was watching him, and
when he was sure that no one was, he
ran out little way from the edge of
the Green Forest, dug tiny hole IN
the soft, warm earth with his paws,
dropped into it the little brown seed
and covered it carefully.
'There," said he to himself, as he
scampered back to the Green Forest
to see what more he could find, every
one knows l live in the Green Forest
and no one will think to look out here
for things have hidden"
Old Mother Nature, who knew just
what Happy Jack had done, smiled, for
she also knew that it was more than
likely that Happy Jack would forget
all about that little brown seed, and If
he did she had plan to use it her.

self, and Happy Jack had saved her
some trouble, for, though he didn't
know it, he had planted it for her
1t all came about just as Old Mother
Nature had thought it would. Happy
Jack never once thought of that par
ticular little brown seed, for he had
hidden plenty to eat all the long win
ter in the Green Forest. So the little
brown seed lay just where he had hid
den it, until gentle Sister South Wind
came in the spring and with her soft
fingers opened all the little brown
blankets of the leaf buds on the trees
which Jack Frost with his hard fingers
had been unable to open. Then Old
Mother Nature remembered the little
brown seed, and she wakened a little
fairy who was sleeping in the heart of
it, and the name of the little fairy was
the Fairy of Life.
SO out from the warm earth sprang
tender green shoot, which really was
a teeny, weeny Pine-tree.
Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun, look
ing down from the blue, blue sky, saw
it and smiled, and his smile made the
teeny, weeny Pine-tree very happy, for
1t warmed the ground and comforted
the little roots growing there.
Old Mother West Wind, hurrying
past on her way to blow the white
sailed ships across the Great Ocean,
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1916-12-21

saw the teeny, weeny Pine-tree and
sent some of her children. the Merry
Little Breezes, to drive up shower
cloud that 1t might not 60 thirsty.
But no one else saw the teeny, weeny
Pine-tree, or if they did see it, they
took no notice Of it. Happy Jack
Squirrel ran right past and didn't SO
much as look at it, for he had forgot
ten all about hiding that homely little
brown seed in the ground there. Once
Peter Rabbit, nibbling tender sweet
clover, nearly nipped off the head Of
the teeny, weeny Pine-tree and didn't
even know it.
But nothing really happened to the
teeny, weeny Pine-tree, and 1t grew
and grew and was happy, for it loved
jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun and Old
Mother West Wind and the Merry
Little Breezes, and they loved it. So
it grew and grew, and when rough
Brother North Wind came again he
covered it deep with soft blanket OF
snow to keep it warm all winter.
SO the teeny, weeny Pine-tree was
kept safe all the long winter, and when
gentle Sister South Wind once more
came in the spring the teeny, weeny
Pine-tree began to grow again. 1t
grew and grew and grew and grew
until it was no longer teeny, weeny,
but put out sturdy branches and was
very good to look upon. and held its
head high, for it was indeed q beauti-
full young tree.
And for a time the young Pine-tree
was very, very happy. But after
while it began TO feel lonely. All the
other Pine-trees were in the Green
Forest, and often it could hear them
whispering together and it longed to
whisper with them and could not, and
so it sighed and sighed, and Peter Rab-
bit passing that way often stopped to
wonder what made such handsome
young Pine-tree seem so sad.
So the years passed and the young
Pine-tree became bigger than any Of
it's neighbors in the Green Forest, and
became known as the Beautiful Pine,
