The Case of Mcnamara

Tommy Mcnamara, the well known
homcbred, isn't long hitter or slash
ing player. Yet he has been up among
the leaders for long while-always in
the hunt
Tommy is known as a fine mashie
player and as one of the best putters in
the game. He says that he has made a
practice of playing his short APP
proaches we'll up, and of seeing that
each putt gets as far as the cup. He
attributes his skill with the mashie
and with the putter to this study of
distances and to the knack developed
from habit of hitting the ball crisply
enough and firmly enough TO reach the
flag.
Gil Nichols and Jock Hutchinson are
two of the most brilliant golfers in the
country. You will find in watching
their games that when going well both
are rapping the ball on by the pin from
any distance up TO l25 yards. You will
rarely find them twenty-five or thirty
feet short Of the pin upon their seconds.
Most golfers, for some reason, seem
to have a brooding fear of hitting the
ball on past the pin. They seem to
imagine that fearful dangers lurk be-
yond the green, and they would rather
fly softly to traps they can see than
take a chance on others over the green.
Shot after shot stops short of the green
or short Of the cup. But very few can
be seen rolling bravely on by.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-08-12

Golfers have heard frequent discus
sions Of the most important shot in
the venerable pastime.
Considerable debate has waxed back
and forth as to whether the putt or the
second shot to the green had the great
err bearing on the endeavor to obtain
par.
But there is no questioning AZ all
the most important type of shot in
golf. This stands we'll out in front Of
all debate.
The shot we refer to is the shot
that goes past the pin.
The Winner
This undoubtedly is the winning
shot, from mashie, chip shot OF put
ting distance.
A few days ago we tested with John
G. Anderson the number of shots that
fell short of the pit and the number
that went past in two thirty-six-hole
matches.
A thorough recount brought out the
development that at least 10 per cent
of all mashie chip shots and puts
were short. Only 80 per cent went on
by the cup, and the course was fast.
You can keep track Of your own
game and find that not over three
shots in ten from l2O yards up to fif-
teen feet of the cup go beyond the
flag. The other seven will be short
which means in the case Of chip shot
or putt the ball was never given a
chance.

Making Apple Butter

All who like apple butter stand
up, 1t is a fayorite dish for young
and old alike and the right constitu-
ency is the point in making it, says
today's bulletin from the National
Emergency Food Garden Commits
sion OF Washington, ID. c., which in
cooperating with this paper, Will
give $4,000 in cash prizes for the
best canned vegetables grown in
war gardens.
The right proportion Of apples and
sweet or sterlliZed cider may be kept
in mind Take five gallons sof cider
and boil it down one half, Swimming
occasionally during boiling. Wash,
pare, quarter and core apples and
use in proportion of TWO parts ap-
pies to one part boiled cider Boil
slowly for four TO six hours. stirring
often to prevent burning. When the
butter is two-thirds done, add about
pound of brown sugar to the gall
Ion and spice TO taste. if the lp-
pies are little over-ripe, add lemon
or vinegar to give acid taste. Apple
butter should be stored in sterilized
|receptacles and the tops sealed or
covered with parattin paper or cloth.
aHOtHeI met EUu Ol Ilidh1HS apple
butter is to make a smooth sauce of
apples before adding to the boiled
cider and use in the same proportion
as above. This method requires
about three hours of cooking after
the addition of the apples.
A third method requires no cider.
Firm, tart apples are allowed to
simmer slowly for long time until
of the right consistency. When
nearly done pound of brown sugar
is added for each gallon and the but
ter is spiced to taste
The Commission for the final big
drive to save the food of the nation
will award $4,000 in prizes to those
who win awards at the war garden
exhibitions that will be held through
out the country. Charles 1-aLnrop
Pack, the president, and 2. S. Rids-
dale, secretary of the commission, are
now working out details and ask that
all war garden committees and those
in charge of the exhibitions write o
the commission at 210 Maryland
Building, giving brief outline OF
their plan of awards.

CARS ARE AGAIN TIED UP
 BY GENERAL STRIKE
Men Became Dissatisfied at Way Company Was Act ing Following Settle
 ment and Quit

Chattanooga. October 16.--Like bolt from the blue. a strike of the employees of the Chattanooga Railway and Light company was put into effect at noon to- day and the city is entirely without service, after a lapse of only 10 days since the former trouble was settled. Dissatisfaction over the contract and all legged methods of the management of the company are given as the reason for the walk-out by some of the strikers, but charges to the latter effect are denied by company officials. Vice President Hoover of the street railway company insists that the men had presented no grievances to him and that he had no knowiedge that strike was about to be declared.
 The strike is result of conference held in Detroit few days ago between President w. D. Mahon. president of the Amalgamated association. and Board Member ]. H. Reardon and President Colbert of the elocal division, the two lat ter having journeyed to the Michigan city to lay the situation before Mahon.
 The street car company has declared its intention not to attempt to operate its system until ample protection is guar anteed by local authorities.

STORY 0F LOWEST. INSULTS BY TEUT0NS

Helpless English Men and Women in South Africa Were Subjected to
 Physical Torture

Washington, October f6-- Insults and physical torture inflicted upon help less Eng fish men and wonen by their German captors in German East Africa in the early days of the war form the subject of special British parliamen- , tary paper, copies of which have just reached this country.
 This report, embracing the sworn testimony of many missionaries and native teachers, will form part of the terrible indictment against German of be brought up at the final reckoning at the end of the war. The affi- davits are by British civilians, most ly missionaries, men and women who were engaged in church work among the natives and who, uI Ie~ all rules of warfare, were privi1 to quit German territory in safety upon 2I hours notice after the outbreak of war.
 Permission to leave was refused by the German officials on the ground Of .'the military exigencies," and the un- fortunate civilians were kept as pris- oners, the testimony says, confined in crowded quarters, with insufficient food and much of that unfit for con sumption, and forced to do all sorts of exhausting labor, so that some were permanently injured in health.
 Every effort was made to degrade the prisoners in the eyes of the na- tives. The men were obliged to aot IS Iaborers for native masons and to per- form many degrading tasks The women are declared to have been obliged to witness the bathing of Ger man soldiers and to submit to insults and abuse from the native guards and German civilians.
