very effective on the occasion on which
l met him.
The effective golf stroke is rhythmic,
and determined to try swinging
smoothly and rhythmically, and I
found that i had to pause just little
at the end of the back stroke. Pause
however, is hardly the word. for that
would cause q stop in the timing and
good timing must be continuous. II
might be more correct to say that 1t is a
slight slowing up which permits the
wrists to relax slightly up there and in
turn gives the little dip of the club
head and swish of II at the end of the
back stroke. The slight hesitation
makes you more careful of the location
OF the ball and is more accurately de-
livored.

the feeling of hitting the ball up into

ball farther advanced in order TO hit it
up: II you do you are likely to increase
your slice spin to a discouraging extent
The whole idea is to get the ball as

TRAVERS, MARSTON, KIRKBY
AND ANDERSON TO PLAY
HERE FOR THE RED CROSS
Will Participate in FourBall Match at Merton Next
Saturday Under Auspices of Golf Associa.
ton of Philadelphia
By WILLIAM H. EVANS

THE Golf Association Of Philadelphia,
L through the personal efforts of Max
we'll r. Marston. has arranged a four
ball golf match over the east course of
the Merton Cricket Club for next Sat-
urday afternoon. The proceeds will be
for the benefit of the Red Cross. Max
WELL with Jerome D. Travers as his
partner, will play against Oswald Kirkby
and John G. Anderson.
This will be the first war fund ex-
hibiuon match to be played In this
city. but the Golf Association expects
to have others, which will be announced
later. While the local association gets
into the game rather late. as these
matches have been played in the metro
politan and other districts for the last
two months. it has as its opening gun of
the drive four of the most prominent
amateur golfers in the country.
There Is Only One Jerry

times amateur champion, and Is one of
the three American amateurs who have

played in the Lynnewood Hall Cup

trophy and gained permanent possession
of it. The same week he played In the
tournament given at Merton by Harold
Sands, now in the national service, and

the Pine Valley course.
Marston has, won everything worth
while in golf line but the Metropolitan
and the national championship. One of
the best exhibitions he ever gave was
in the final of the Lynnewood Hall
against Travers after the then open
champion had a most comfortable lead
The next year he won the trophy. Last
year he entered the navy as a seaman
but early this year he was invalided
home. He is now playing most of his
golf over the Merton course and there
are few better players in the country.

BENDER PUTS u. s.
ABOVE BASEBALL
Won't Play With Yanks
Without Permission From
Hog Island
HUCCINS C. A Nj B L E S

Chief Bender, who was recently
turned over to the Yankees at the waiver
price by President Baker of the Phil
lies, puts patriotism before baseball,
and last night said that he would not
leave Hog Island under any circurn-
stances until he saw the first ship
launched on the Delaware.
the big Indian pitcher has signed
to work at Hog Island and do his bit"
over here, and he will not join the
Yanks unless he has the permission Of
the authorities at Hog Island and their
promise to allow him to return to his
work after the baseball season ends.
II was not particularly glad when the
announcement was made that Huggins
had paid President Baker, of the Phil
lies, S2500, the waiver price, for my
release" said Bender. 81 am sore that
Baker got that money for me, for he
never treated me right, and I think
that it was foolish for Higgins to take
that kind of a gamblers chance.
And it is chance. too, for, unless L
receive willing release from those in
charge at Hog Island and their assur-
ance that / can resume my work In
the fall after the ball season Is over, /
will continue as I am.
Baseball is a secondary consideration
with me, and, while I realize that the
fellows who are doing their bit over
here need amusement as well as the
boys in the trenches and back of them.
| also realize that we need ships and
all the men we can get to build them.
II made all this clear to Joe Kelly,
the Yanks' scout, when he was over
to see me, and I presume that he
reported my attitude to Higgins
II have stated my case to the officials
at the shipbuilding plant. and 1t is up
to them to say whether I shall. stay
there and help build ships or play bali
with the Yankees"

easily ranks among the five or six best
amateurs In the country. His last ap-
pearance here was in the national cham
pionship at Merton where he lost SEN
sational match to Gardiner White.
Anderson has twice been the runner
up in the national championship, the
first time to Travers and the second
time to Bob Gardner. He was the rum
ner up to Chick Evans for the French
title in 1911 and he has twice been the
champion of Massachusetts.
Marston is one of the longest drivers
in the country and in his famous
match with Gardner In the semi-fnal
Of the national championship at Detroit
in 1915 he held the far driving Chica-
goan fairly even. During that tourna-
ment he had the hard fight for he beat
both Jesse Guilford and Jerry Travers.
In his match with Gardner Marston was
dormie one and both were home home
on their tee shots. Marston ran his
approach putt to within two feet Of the
hole while Gardner missed his second
and lay dead. All that Marston needed
was that putt but he hurried his shot
and missed On the extra hole Gard
ner won.
All Familiar With Course
All four have played over the Merton
course a number of times and are thor
oughly familiar with it. OF the four.
Anderson Is the only one who is not
snowy. but he gets there. The other
three have beautiful form and, as all
four are playing very fine golf, we may
expect a very brilliant exhibition.
For those who delight in following
the best players in the country the
match should be a delightful treat, and
rarely does this city or any other have
the opportunity of seeing such fine
quartet of players. There is not the
slightest doubt that a record-breaking
crowd will follow the match
Marston has already played In three
matches for the Red Cross. He de-
feated Mrs w. A. Gavin. to whom he
gave nine strokes in eighteen, in handy
style, and he and Travers have beaten
Barnes and Low in easy style and car
ried another match with Barnes and
Mcnamara to extra holes before they
lost.
