GOLFERS MUST
PLAY IN RAIN
Such Practice Necessary for
Those Who Wish to Be-
come Proficient
HELPS ONES GA NJ f
By CHARLES ,CHICKD EVANS, Jr.


II was raining the other day when
! was going out for my afternoon
hour on the links. As | started for the
first tee | saw a number of friends OF
mine quitting for the day. and "A lot of
good-natured banter flowed back and
forth between uS about ducks and rub
ber boots and Cahbages and kings. My
friends thought me foolish to play under
the conditions. But practice in the rain
seems a very essential thing to me since
no player can pick the weather Condi-
ti0ns under which tournaments may have
to be played And there is lot Of
difference between wet and dry weather
playing. In wet weather the atmospheric
conditions affect the flight of the ball
and your control Of it, One not used to
a wet cluh-head can make remarkably
bad shot. and without practice on wet
ground ones stance may he very un-
certain thing.
Doesn't Mind Rain
7 do not particularly mind pIaying
golf in the rain. II did | should have
a hard time in the Red Cross tourna-
ments. for SO far every one of them has
been played beneath weeping skies So

schedule.
The golfer who only goes out to prac-
tiCe once in a while tries to do 1t all in
one day. and II can't be done All worth
while progress is steady and consistent
and the speed of Improvement depends
in large measure upon the intelligence
used in practice and natural ability
think that one should determine to
hit each day a certain number of Cleek
shots. midiron shots. light irons mashies
and StOpums all at a makeshift flag
Then there should be some practice get
ting out Of the toughest grass and bunk
ers. Then one should practice run-up
shots and puts long and short. There
Is more fun playing than praCtiCing. of
course but such a plan Of practice
takes but little time.
Something Learned
1 My few shots on this particularly
rainy morning did not teach me many
! things. bat | learned one of much ir'-
pOrtanCe. and that was that when the
face Of an iron club. especially one that
has not been scored. gets wet. the ball
/ slips and the result Is very uneven
flight. Moral: ON a rainy day dry your
! ClubfaCe before playing. Another thing
! that I learned was to keep on trying.
even under disCouraging circumstances.
/ | thought of hitting as If clipping the
bail up at the last minute and the
ball went fine. A well-carried follow
through helped considerably on the
mashe and stopum shots brought my
hands nearer and let them act as the
center of a circle and the result was
excellent. Try these plans when you
play next

WATSON TOSSES
GAME TO REDS
Pat Moran Says Raw Deci-
sion Was Handed Phils
in Eleventh
F1ELDERS KEPT BUSY

Cincinnati. May 25.--Pretty tough to
lose game the way Mule" Watson
shed it-a wild pitch in the eleventh
session. Pat Moran maintains by all
the kings that ever kinked in Ireland
that Tom Griffith should never have had
chance to make that dash for third
base that he was out hop and half
a second Bancroft says he got him
by two feet The dust kicked up so
thick that nobody could Judge the play
from the press box. and the right or
wrong of the decision must. therefore.
remain mystery. save to those who
were involved.
Speaking Of his wild pitch. Mule"
wanted to know If the famous wild
chuck with which Chesbro threw away
pennant long ago went any higher
than this one. "If Chesbro could peg
any taller ones than that" said Mule, ,"
he must have been darling"
Stolen Bases Help
All three runs were coined from stolen
bases. Lee Magee's steal in the first put
him where he would score on Chase 9
short hit. Williams's pilfer in the sew
enth created two errors which took him
home. And Grifith's two grabs in the
eleventh upset the ball game. All last
season r. Griffith stole five bases. and
here he gets two in single game and
already has nipped fve, though the sea
son Is in its morning.
Intentional passes were tried by both
commanders. The Reds took long
chance when they passed Cravath in the
sixth and filled the bases with only one
out. but the idea went through. for
Meusel hit into nifty nield double
play. Wingo was passed In the ninth.
filing up the bases. but two were out
and Toney at bat, so the risk wasn't as
heavy.
Cy Williams drove quite a close bar
gain with Pat Moran. Whitted's depar-
ture for war left the Quakers decidedly
shy on outfield talent and the long col
legian didn't overlook any business
chances. He will roost on the bench till
somebody falls away in batting, and
will then gallop around the outfield with
his awkward but effective methods.
Steady in Pinches
In every one of the last six innings
the visitors made hit off Toney but
the "Riheman of Tennessee" proved in
vulnerable when the danger began to
threaten. He seems to have all he ever
owned in speed and shoots, and also ha S
developed a drop ball with a tendency
to dip outside the plate. which Is hard
for the batters to understand.
Stops by Bancroft and McGaffigan
| featured the pastime, both of them rak-
ing some almost impossible bounders
McGaff1gan also contributed two fooz-
ers, but they did no harm.
Moran and Mathewson, two of the
most placid men in the game, were
wild with warlike wrath-Matty early
in the battle and Pat right afterward
Matty. claiming that Blackburn was
safe at the plate in the second frame,
stormed more fercely than was ever
seen before. while Pat maintaining that
he was knocked out by the close de.
cision in the eleventh, was as growly
as a grizzly at the finish.
Roush and Meusel were extremely busy
in center field Ed got seven flies and
Meusel five each man making sundry
pretty and almost startling catches.

Should Be Quickly Arranged
But If Philadelphans are to see any
of the big amateurs and professionals
| and IL the War Chest Is to be benefited
speedy action is necessary. As has been
pointed out before. these exhibition
matches will bring in more money than
can be raised in any other way. Some
. Of them have already netted as high as
$4,000 for single match. Then it
should be remembered that many people
go out of town early in June. and golfns
conditions are never better than they are
just al present.
The West and the metropolitan dis
triCts are just as busy with these stamp
and charity drives as Philadelphia. and
at the same time they are having these
big exhibition matches which are draw
ing large galleries and are filing War
Chests.
Marston. Travers, Kirkby, Mrs. Gavin
and the rest are ready to do their share
Now the whole thing is up to the Golf
Association of Philadelphia.
Old York Road Springs Surprise

was the One-sided defeat of the Over
brook team by Old York Road The

right to play the last team in the Phla-
delphia Team cup race. 1t promises
to he an interesting battle of the links
There will he two interesting exhibi-
ton matches today. At Atlantic city
Jim Barnes and Tom Mcnamara will play
against Clarence Hackney and Walter

| Hackney holds the record of the course
with a siXty-siX and has frequently

The other match will be played at
| Garden city with Francis Ouimet and
John G. Anderson paired against Jerome
| D. Travers and Oswald Kirkby. 1t will
probably be the last appearance of
! Ouimet in an exhibition match. II will
be an eighteen-hole affair.
