Baltimore. March 1.-Two hundred

attitude OF stepping up to shot tax

swing before their nervous systems
have grown too taut for anything but
disaster.
Not Careless Haste
This doesn't mean 10 adopt method
Of carelessness and undue haste. But
il means the development, through
practice and thought, OF a crlsper ana
more businesslike attitude.
The fastest golfer in the world Is
George Duncan. And of them all he is
the most brilliant, with the possible
exception of Nardon. Duncan is a
highly nervous type, 80 he never lets
his nerves get started before his swing
is under way. As a rule, the more ner-
vous O golfer is over his game the
longer he takes, which is precisely what
he shouldn't do under the eircum-
stances.
This advice goes for putting az well
as for other shots. In getting the line
the first bunch is generally the right
one. The longer a golfer studies the
green the more the average performer
is likely to get confused. Let him get
the line, adjust his club and then con-
centrate entirely upon hitting the ball
hard enough to get up. But most OF
them stand over the ball. wondering
whether they have the right line. try

state of mind, where success is only the
sheerest luck.
A ball player has about a second 70

a curve, a fast one, over the plate or
wide. He is forced TO make up his
mind in a fash and swing with the de-
cision. Which is one reason why ball
players take TO golf so quickly. They
make up their minds what to do. and
do il. or try 10 do il, without adding
for half the morning or afternoon.
Quick decision in golf tends to conf
dence and dehniteness. A slowly made,
hesitating decision brings in doubt. and
doubt calls for the niblick when the
next shot is to be played.

pear 10 be deliberate, 10 be taking their
time. but in observing their play you
will notice that none of this time is
wasted. When Travers and Anderson
played in the championship final at
Garden City, in 1913. they both moved
along at such a clip that the gall ery
could hardly keep pace. In the after
noon only fourteen holes were needed,
but these fourteen holes were played
In Just a trifle over an hour and ten
minutes-or at the rate OF an hour ana
thirty minutes for the complete round.
There Is no touch Of overdeliberste
play TO Max Marston. Gardiner White
or Norman Maxwell. In fact, both
White and Maxwell play along at an
extremely fast clip. The same is true
of Bobby Jones, who merely steps up,
hits the ball and then moves on at
once.
Poor Players Slow
As a rule, most of the poorer golfers
are slow actors. This is partly or
mainly due to a lack of confidence.
Fearing the result of each shot. they
fiddle and fuss around as long as pos
sible before finally taking the swing.
Many of these actually dread TO start
the club back, even though only an
opponent and the caddies are look
ing on.
Here is sample. A certain golfer,
who rarely plays under 115. was Just
starting from the first tee in a certain
club match. He stood rigid over the
ball. shifted his grip and stance and
finally turned to his caddie with this
remark:
"Ssy. boy, you've got a cinch, COM
pared TO me. All you've got to do is
to find this ball. I've got TO hit it,"
And he meant what he said
The average poor golfer could i'm
prove his game immeasurably if he
would only make a practice Of cutting
away this waste. all Of which Is only
an added drain upon his nervous sys-
TEN.
The longer he stands over a shot the
more nervous he becomes. He finally
grows rigid and il forced 10 try to
make his swing with the last touch of
elasticity gone-as far from his system
as hi, shot generally is from the cor
rect line.

Man Suspected Of Steal.
ing Chickens.
SPECTATORS TAKE A HAND

Detective Charles Walker was
beaten up by crowd at 1108 Farnam
street yesterday morning when he
went there to arrest man who was
thought to be a chicken thief"
A call came from the Omaha Cold
Storage company asking that an Off
Ger be sent there to arrest a man who
was selling chickens and who was
suspected of having stolen them. De-
tective Walker responded. He found
Arthur Williams of Kansas City un-
loading chickens and other poultry
from a wagon. The detective climbed
upon the seat and attempted to make
the arrest Williams threw the de-
tective off the seat.
Two we'll dressed men, passing on
the sidewalk, took the cue from this
row and rushed into the mixup, be-
ginning at once to beat up Walker. A
crowd gathered, and for some reason
everyone, without knowing who
Walker was, began to kick and beat
him. A street car conductor and an
expressman then happened along, and
recognizing Walker. rescued him from
the crowd. They then helped Walker
take Williams to Jail. Walker is suf-
fering from a sprained ankle and a
badly bruised face.

COURT ENJOINS
ELECTRICAL UNION
Interference With Men En-
ployed on Omaha Buildings
Forbidden Till Case Heard.
DEMAND SCALE OF $5 A DAY

A temporary injunction was
granted by Judge Leslie OF the dis
trict court against the Electrical
Workers union to prevent its MEN,
bers from interfering with men now
at work on buildings about the city.
The case will be heard April 26.
Since April / some OF the electri-
cal workers have quit their jobs be-
cause contractors refused to pay the
increased scale of 6834 cents per
hour, or S. day, demanded by the
union.
R. L. Cortright of the electrical
workers grievance committee says
there is no strike in the real sense of
the word, as maintenance, fixture and
the shop men have not been called
cut. 1t is only the electrical work
eIs in the building trades that are in
volved, according to Cortright. He
said:
"The only demand we have made
is for 68M cents per hour. We are
not now asking and never have asked
for a closed shop. We have asked
lor nothing but the increased wage.
We have been getting minimum Of
57H cents per hour and a maximum
of about 62H cents.
Want Increase.
1--WE notified the electrical con-
tractors the first day of last January
OF our demand for an increase and
offered to finish old jobs at the old
scale. What we asked was that the
new scale be paid on all jobs figured
after January |, 1917. We thought
that was fair.
The contractors promised US in
writing that they would give US 62h
cents beginning January /, 1917, but
when the time came they denied they
had made such a promise. Although
most of our records were burned i'll
the Continental block fire we still
have that letter in our possession"
The electrical workers say twelve
shops are now paying the scale de-
nanded and that sixty-seven men are
benefited. Others are holding out,
according to Cortright and R. c. Col
lier, another electrical worker.
A house brick sailed dangerously
near the head of Benjamin Bennett,
nonunion electrical worker in the en-
ploy of the LeBron Electrical COM
pany, while he was at work Wednes-
day on building at Twenty-second
and Davenport streets.
G. L. Adcock and John Andras,
union iron workers on the same Job,
were arrested, charged with throwing

PENDANTS, after cautioning them to
engage in no disputes over labor diff
fculties.
