GREAT SHOOTERS
SHOW THEIR SKILL
HERE SATURDAY
Six Shotgun Stars Billed to
Perform at Tri-State Fair
grounds Before Memphis
Gun Club.

With a team OF six shotgun stars,
any n of whom would be a real
attraction alone, as the headHners, the
Memphis Gun club has arranged a spe-
clal meet at the club grounds for Sat-
uruay afternoon, which. II is safe to
say, will be missed by few lovers Of the
shootlng game in this section. Every
member of this Winchester shooting
team, which has been secured through
the wide-awakeness of the local club.
Is q recognized star at the traps and
a fancy shot Of thrilling talent, while
Mr.. and Mrs. "Ad' Topperwein, who
are W Of the members, are known all
over the world for their marvellous
SAINTS with the gun.
enthusiasm is running high among
the members of the club at the program
which they are arranging for this event
and It will be a gala occasion for the
shooting fans throughout this part OF
the state. j. NOVEL; Hawkins, who is
IN charge of the shooting promotion
work of the Winchester company, is
managing the team and at the same
time winging the clay birds in his GUS
tOmafy form, which means equal to the
best of them. Mr.. Hawkins, by the
way, was official high average man
for the 1918 trapShooting season In the
United States. Up TO the war, which
stopped competition for the time being
he was n of the IL high men of the
country every year for Is years.
Another shooter whose work will hold
a keen fascination for local sportsmen
is Charles G. Spencer. Spencer set up
IN 1893 q new continuous long run
record with 565 hits and then he was
stopped not by a miss but because
he had used up all the shells avail
able. A man who can hit them like
this Is liable to start something in the
trapshooting line any time, and as in
the case of the home run king in base
ball, this stand may the occasion OF
another remarkable bit of shooting by
Spencer.

Denied Ball Ideal.

1t is we'll known, Of course, that an
easily dented ball with a plastic center
Is ideal for the women and there are
plenty of brands on the market to
satisfy their wishes in the securing long
drives. II is quite as difficult for a
male golfer to hit a ball Of 80 penny
weights as it is for a woman golfer to
play with a ''3l," as sheer weight pre-
vents the ciubhead from going through
with the necessary speed hitting the
heart Of the ball as 1t were.
But 1t is quite within the province Of
a woman player to use a 90" which
is the same weight used by half the
male golfers. The superiority Of added
distance in q ball is thus swallowed up
at once and only the science and
strength of the different golfers form
the basis of comparison. We believe
that ten golfers from that list Of quail
fiers in the national championship, say
Miss Stirling, Mrs. Vanderbeck, Miss
Hollins, Mrs. Gavin, Mrs. Barlow, Miss
Caverly, Mrs. Stetson, Mrs. jackson,

Golfers Nay Soon Excel
Men Because of the LiUeLy Ball
BY JOHN G.

The lively golf ball is placing the women golfers more and
more on an equality with the men. There is a certain distance
which a flattened sphere will travel when resuming its former
shape, and beyond that average length only the crashing smash
of a Heron or a Cuilford can send the rubber-cored pellet.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-16

On these latter occasions there is
seldom a long run after lighting. It
IS far different with the more gently
hit ball. Runs Of 40 to so yards are not
uncommon. and when the turf is firm
or hard, IL is a simple matter for a
short low driver to keep up with a free
hitter whose every distance is all carry.
Women golfers, as a general rule,
cannot get into the drive with enough
abandon and punch to secure an i'm

the tee, rivalling almost Mrs. Quentin
Feitner, perhaps the hardest hitter
among the ranks Of lady golfers.
Content With 200 Yards.
But the great majority of women
players are content to hit the ball
soundly, depending upon q run Of 80 to
20 yards to bring their drives up to the
20o-lard mark. At Shawnee, in spite
Of an unreasonable stretch Of weather
which left the turf soft, the average
drive Of the qualifying contestants in
the championships was over 1856 yards,
with that distance as a minimum. to
2lO as a maximum average for the play
over Is holes.
That is, 30 yards farther than was
had five years ago most Of the added
distance coming in the perfection of
the golf bali, with not over a fourth,
perhaps, in the skill Advancement of
the players themselves, for we doubt
very much II the golfers Of today SUR
passed in driving power Miss Curtis,
Miss Hecker (now Mrs. c. T. Stout, or
Miss Bessie Anthony.
But, whereas the average difference
in driving distance between the men
n the women was over so yards five
years ago, the yardage difference today
has been reduced to 80 or Whereabouts.
The crack which the expert gives the
ball nowadays imparts a terrific under
spin. which in a measure precludes
much run after lighting. The gentler
hitter keeps the ball on a more even
plane, so to speak, and there is a con-
sequent following run after landing.
Evidence of this was seen in the final
n semi-final rounds of the P. G. A,
championship, where only Mcleod, who
hit the ball less severely, secured much

Three. Quarters Science,

1t must always be remembered that
golf is three-quarters science and skill
and one-quarter strength, and If the
women continue to take lessons year
after year there will be still greater i'm
provement looking toward the time
when as a class they win excel the men;
that is, the general average for the
number Of women players will be higher
so far as their part is concerned than
the standard for the men.
The Shawnee tournament produced
better putting than any previous cham
pionship for women. Since 1t Is agreed
that putting is so per cent or so of the
game there is no handicap involved
there. Competition has made women
less nervous and more capable with the
putter, while, as we remarked before, an
~equaling process has been evolved
through the evolution Of the lively rub
Der core. .

of q new group Of golfing youngsters
who will be past champions before d

Women to Play Men.

We had thought that some effort
would be made last eason for a match
between ten representative men golfers
and ten stars. This contest
would have been held If the war lasted,
we know, but the ending Of host .ly'
ended the great need for securing funds
for war purposes and the effort lam
guished,
However, we may say with surety
that in 1920 there will be a match of
this kind, which will determine Just
how near we are to the truth Of the
statement that the standard Of woman )
golf in America is high enough to dis
count the stroke every other hole, which
has been the usual handicap allowed in
Great Britain in contests Of this nature.
Ouimet today is little better than he
was in 1913 at the. time Of his playoft
with Vardon and Ray. Evans did not
indicate in his golf this year that he
was better than his 1916 form, and the
same was true Of many others, but 1t
was a different story with the women.

the heights of ambition in golf, none

Mrs. Let's, Miss Rosenthal or Miss

Shawnee was a good test Of the game
and nearly every one Of the uplayers
mentioned had more than n round

links half the membership can not play

ever, it may be said that most of them
have never taken lessons and that IS

as men should have the same right, and
she wants the Indian women to have
