In the three rounds he had against
Gil Nichols. Jock Hutchinson and Wal
ter Hagen, if there was one shot when
helped lift Jerry Travers to the top
above any other it was q chip shot of
the green.
On any number of occasions this shot
not only saved him from losing hole
but brought him a win against rugged
ODDS.
Against Hagen, for example, he
placed three hard chips from well
off the green dead to the pin. and each
one caused a sudden upset in calcula-
tions.
Against Hutchinson he placed al
least four from off the green to within
easy putting distance, and these also
helped harass Jock to no small extent
Jerry and the Chip Shot
Knowing the value Of the chip. few
days ago led Jerry quietly to one side
for a short discussion of the art OF
tapping 'em up to the pin anywhere
from sixty feet to seventy yards on
the range.
In taking his stance for this shot
Travers explained that it was almost
the same stance he took for putt.
my feet" he said, "are close to-
gether-only two or three inches apart
| believe in standing almost straight
for the shot and in holding the club
well above the lower part OF the grip.
1t is my opinion that too many golfers
crouch entirely too much. By leaning
we'll over they suffer muscular cramp
and lose the keen touch necessary for
the occasion. | don't believe in bend
ing over too much for any shot. A
mans natural position isn't decided
stoop. When he begins to crouch he
is out of his natural position. I don't
believe either in gripping the club too
far down the leather, for there is
tendency then TO jab at or poke at
the ball, whereas the chip shot requires
as much ease and rhythm as the putt.
In my own case | would rather have
chip shot TO play from off the edge
OF the green than long putt to get
dead. The first is easier TO get close
to the pin. The chip shot is undoubted-

in his catches. His judgment of fly
balls was not Of the best. His arm was
always good, but his judgment IN
throwing to bases somewhat faulty. To-
day Kauff is ranging almost as well as
Iris Speaker. That is the last word in
ranging.
In 1915 Kauff was the central figure
of one of the most novel situations ever
developed in baseball. While he was
still playing with the Brooklyn Fed
erals, Benny was signed to a three
years contract by the Giants. The az
ternoon that he signed New York at
tempted to play Kauff, but the Boston
Club refused to take the field against
the OUTLAW" This action was substan-
tiated by President Tener. Kauff, who
claimed he was not bound by contract
TO the Brooklyn Federals, had to re-
turn to that team much Inundated.
The circumstance was one which
almost cost the Giants Kauff's services
later on. After Benny had been sold to
New York he insisted that the local
team fulfil the obligations of the con-
tract it had repudiated as result OF
the remonstrances of Robert b. Ward.
Kauff held out until after the Giants
had gone into training. He held out
till his terms were met.
The New York managers attempted
raid on the Brooklyn Federals, calcu-
lated to precipitate general desertion
on the part of the outlaw players,
proved a sorry fivver at the time. But
indirectly it led to the subsequent &C
ouisition of Kauff. 1t established a
claim that could not lightly be regard
ed at the peace conference.
Kauff has steadily improved as a
member of the Giants. He has fine
chance to lead the National League hit
tiers this year. And as TO his predic-
tons of heading Ty Cobb? Well, Benny
will not have TO go much further, or Ty
slip far. TO make good the prophecy.
Kenny has age in his favor. As to am
bition, it's just about 5000 with Tyrus
and Benjamin.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

make it a point to see that every shot
played from 100 yards away up TO the
green was struck on beyond the flag.
He made il a point to make himself do
this on each short shot. The result
was that he had 10, very much TO his
astonishment.
There isn't any question:" remarked
Travers, "but that the one fatal mis-
take most golfers make is playing
nearly every approach shot and nearly
every putt short. ! mean by that that
at least 10 per cent never have a chance
TO get by the cup. A shot that falls
short. whether it is a short approach or
a putt, usually means a ball that isn't
we'll hit. This means ball that is very
likely to be off line-for a well hit ball
is far more likely to travel straight to
the object aimed at. Many golfers, for
some reason, seem TO get green shy, by
which | mean that they seem TO have a
haunting fear of playing boldly up TO
the pin"
"If player" continued Jerry, would
make up his mind to hit every putt
hard enough to get by the hole, he
would be surprised to see how many
begin to drop. OF course, it doesn't
always work. lost a chance to beat
Harold Hilton at Apawamis in 1911
through this method. ] hit putt after
rutt on by the hole and then missed too
many coming back to have look in.
But the rule will work the other way
nine times out of ten"
The coming battle between Travers
and Kirkby, of New York, and
Ouimet and Gulford of Boston, for the
Red Cross fund will decide whether
Boston or New York is the golfng
metropolis of the East. There can be
no definite decision on a country de
scale for the reason that Evans and
Gardner, from Chicago, make up one Of
the most formidable teams now extant,
and Gardner is heading for the front
This trio represent the three strongest
teams in America beyond any .argu-
ment. Three Of them have won both
the open and amateur championships.
Another has won the amateur cham
pionship twice And still another ha.
won the championship of his state and
of the metropolitan golhng district
three times.
Ouimet and Guilford, by defeating
two such star professionals as Brady
and Teller, have proved themselves ,
formidable combination. II will take
only rare golf from Travers and
Kirkby to hold them in check, but the
latter are well capable OF playing at an
abnormally fast clip.
When il comes TO long hitting. tbs
longest hitter We have seen around New
York recently is Tommy Kerrigan, at
Siwsnoy. kerrigan outdrove every
man he met in the recent test, and ia
to-day probably trife longer than
even Nichols or Burns. The Siwanoy
Homebred gets abnormal distance from
the tee. being from fifteen to twenty
five yards ahead of the average first
class professional. And it is only re-
Gently chat this extra distance has come
kerrigan's way.

certain round few days back. The
golfer in question had had three rounds
over a certain course averaging around
