GOLFERS DECLARE
FAULTY SEASONING
FATAEFOR SHAFTS

It's matter OF history that the
shafts on the golf clubs OF today are
about 80 per cent worse than those
OF Ave years ago. With less spring
to them and an almost total absence
in many cases or that snap so es-
sential TO a good shaft. those sticks
put into golf clubs today are decided
~ inferior 10 those made prior to
1912. II Is not the fault or the pro-
fessiOnal. Dor yet the dealers fault.
Hickory il so hard to obtain in such
suitable quantities and quality that
rarely is a fine shipment found.
One professional claims that out OF
100 shafts recently received by him
more than one-half were not At to
use in first class clubs. The fault
lies. in a measure. I'm the fact that
certain dealers do not allow their
shafts to become properly seasoned
and turn, them out green and without
the snap and pep that a properly
seasoned shaft should have.
Whether the new steel shafts re-
Gently put on the market will solve
the problem Is a question. II has
been claimed that wooden heads split
rather easily when steel IL inserted,
ana more 30 Wish Nluu IL uHeu
in wet weather and swells. The balls
leave a steel shaft Club with a sweet
feeling. one perfectly comparable
with that OF a well hit sphere from
a wooden shafted weapon.
II il certain that golfers who have
been using poor wooden shafts will
turn with relief 10 the steel con-
structed club, and they really VIII
have q valid excuse for the change
after seeing a well hit ball turn on
at right angles or do some freakish
stunt in the air. Shafts are in some
cases 20 bad that after short USAGE
they become impossible.
often the professional himself
can't tell until after the implement
has been tried out When he selects
a shaft in the rough without being
tapered down 1t probably has the
proper feel and hang, and only after
a couple OF weeks use does It become
limp and whippy.

By ". H. sLoCUM.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The Yam
KEGS and Grifmen continue to play
games that remain in doubt up. to
The final out in the ninth inning.
Twice in the three games played by
these clubs at Washington last week
lhe winner was in doubt to the I'm
sh, and the opener at the Polo
Grounds was on the same order.
hotton was on a dash to the plate
Nth what would have been the ty-
ng run yesterday, when Peck tagged
Lavan between first and second
bases, ending the game.
A game rally by the GrinE in the
anal inning was the outstanding fea-
lure OF the opening game. For eight
Innings Allen Russell had set the
capital City crowd down with three
lesttered hits, and the Yankees col
1ected fourteen on Doc Ayers in the
rst six frames. The result OF this
fitting was that The Huggins troupe
as away to a so advantage when
&c NTH inning had been completed.
LusseIl's wIldness and a double by
Layan enabled the Nationals 70 grab
"a two runs in the eighth, and in
the ninth hits by Foster. shotton, and
I.avan. with a pass to Ainsmith, SPELL
ed more trouble.
With score > to in the Tanks'
favor. shotton on third base and
Lavan on first. Higgins sounded the
recaIlsous Russell, and called upon
Slim Love to check the rally. It was
q troublesome spot for any pitcher,
and Love Is not noted for his steadi-
ness. But he managed to pull
through safely. Milan popped TO
Hannah for the second out and then,
with Shanks at the bat, Griffith gave
the wigwag 10 his speedy base run
ners TO try the double steal. Lavan
made one start and Hannah drove him
back. On his second try the Yam
kee catcher made a good throw to
Pratt. and Lavan began TO run up
and down the lines 10 let Shotton
breeze over with the tying run Bert
finally made his dash, but before he
could complete il Peck tagged La
van. and the game was over.
HuEgins will call upon Mogridge
or Caldwell for the second game OF
the series here today, the southpaw
being the favorite for the assign
ment. Caldwells arm Is not yet
ready and HuEgins IS not willing TO
take any chances trying 10 hurry il
along. He IS leaving il entirely in
CaldweIFs hands. and the veteran
will be allowed to start as soon as
he feels that the salary wing is
ready.
Il is expected that Harry Harper.

NEW YORK, April 25.-clark
