Addressing the Ball.

Hardly too much importance can be
attached to the manner of addressing
the ball 1t really means getting
properly ready to make the stroke.
for it is impossible to get up and
place the feet on the line for the
square stance, or bit back for the
open. without dreadful feeling Of
and turns ones grip into a wise. The
right address, as I take 1t, is an ad-
justment of weight that results In a
feeling Of comfort. It should be about
the same for all clubs, with the idea
Of comfort constantly in mind. for !
consider comfort a leading motif OF
all good golf play.
When I get up to address the ball
stand with my fet close together
and with the club held loosely in my
hand. Standing rather well back. /
place the head or blade of my club
behind the ball at right angles to the
imaginary direction line that leads
from the hole through the ball. The
sole of the club must be fiat. neither
toe nor heel off the ground. The club
should not be too near the ball for
, fear that in the process of adjust
ment it might be turned over and a
stroke thereby lost. With the club.
ball, hold the position loosely with
either one or both hands. The reason
for not gripping your club and taking
your stance before putting your club
head down is to be sure that the
clubhead will be in a position to hit
neither corner of the club will dig
in the ground or in any way inter-
fere with the stroke.
Position Is Important.

FINAL HEAT OF RACES
Miss Detroit II and Miss Detroit
III Power Boat Event on
Even Terms.

DETROIT. Mich. September 1.-The
Miss Detroit II and Miss Detroit III
were to enter the final heat of the
gold. cup race to decide. the motor
boat championship on even terms to-
day, each having won one heat and
scored eleven points. Early indications
were that the course would be calmer
today than on Friday and Saturday,
when choppy sea held down the
speed.
The Miss Detroit III. 1918 cham
pion. was generally favored to win
the final dash. In the two previous
heats the boat has shown she is sew
eral seconds faster than the Miss
Detroit ii, her sister hydroplane.

Topping Common Fault
in Beginning Golf Play

Practically every professional
will agree that the most COM
mon fault OF the beginner in
golf is topping, and before this
can he corrected the cause
must he discovered. Treatment
in golf In similar to that in
medicine, In that the diagnosis
must precede the prescriptions.
In general there are three dis
tinct and separate causes for a
topped ball, any one OF which
IL suficient to spoil the shot.
They are raising mp the body,
pulling in the arms and shift
ing the center OF balance.
Evening star., 1919-09-01

head is a very important preliminary
to the making of successful shot.
1t has, first of all. to do with direc-
ton. because the face of the club
must be exactly at right angles with
the imaginary line Of direction. for
the least variation from that angle
will mean a hook or slice.
Occasionally some professional golf
ers turn the club face out somewhat.
and. being skilled, they get away
with it. but it is a bad practice
and usually results disastrously. OF
course. there may be times when a
man is playing with but one club and
he changes the slant of it for very
high or low balls. but that merely
means that he is trying to get from
one club the results to be obtained
from variously lofted ones A player
should try never to lose sight of the
principle of simplification in his game,
and for that reason he should not
have one position of the clubhead for
one shot and entirely different ones
for others. Have them all as nearly
alike as possible.
Evening star., 1919-09-01
Let Club Head Do Work.

Get the full value of service of the
different clubs; their differing lofts
give the proper variation of angles
for high and low balls. Bearing this
idea in mind will also help one to put
in practice the rule of letting the
clubhead do it's share of work.
With the clubhead in position, you
advance somewhat and take the
proper grip, the hands and clubhead
being even. Bring your feet up to a
comfortable position (square or open
stance, as the case requires) and
carefully adjust them. Then, follow
ing a preparatory waggle, you are
ready to strike the blow that will,
il you are fortunate, result in a good
golf shot

|G0THAM GRID FANS
TO SEE BIG GAMES
Many important Contests to
Be Staged In and Around
New York This Fall.

NEW YORK. September lin an
other fortnight the base ball season
will be on the wane. Thoughts of the
world series will be crowding to the
fore, while followers and patrons OF
the great collegiate game of foot ball
will be thinking of the coming grid
iron struggles. AS our Mr.. Rice sue
cinctly puts it: Foot ball is coming
other sport. and it takes no prophet
thusiasm all along the line"
The service are returning to their col
leges this fall, and when the strife
is on we shall see names of players
in the various line-ups who were
starring on the checkerboard a few
years back. The sport is going to be
given greater encouragement by the
authorities. which means that the
caliber of the teams should be of a
higher grade.
Most of the colleges have arranged
unusually attractive schedules. But
what interests the lovers of the sport
in this city is the fact that New York
and vicinity are to be favored with
some OF the best matches of the COM
ing season. Manhattan never has
been known as great foot ball city.
like Boston or Philadelphia, but it is
certain that this will all be changed
in few months and that the games
carded for New York will draw ex-
ceptionally large crowds.

Army-Navy Game Biggest.

The biggest contest on the list. as
far as crowds and attractiveness are
concerned, is, Nof course, the Army
Navy battle to be played at the Polo
Grounds the last Saturday in Novem-
ber. Hitherto only the Yale-Harvard
matter of 1uster and crowds. The
Polo Grounds will never hold the
!, throng that will want to witness the
struggle this autumn.
The first big contest to be played
in this vicinity will be held on the
second Saturday in October, when
Syracuse lines up against West Point
on the plateau. Syracuse is planning
to have one of the strongest teams
in it's history, but for that matter
same lines. On October New Workers.
will be able to witness a good game
between Georgetown and Princeton,
! which will be played at Tigertown.
On Saturday. October IS, Williams
will play Columbia in this city. The

can selection, at quarterback again.
which means thrills for the spec
tators. Fordham will play at Prince
ton on the same day, but. inasmuch
as Frank Frisch is now starring for
the Giants, the chances of the Bronx
oman will be 1essened as regards vic
tory.
Conflict in Big Games.
The following week local fans will
be forced to decide between two stel-
lar struggles that will be well worth
witnessing. Cornell is scheduled to
play Dartmouth at the City College
stadium and Rutgers is to clash with
Fordham on the Bronx campus. If
past records prove anything both
games will draw large crowds.
Two other big attractions will be
staged in this city on election day,
November 4. Georgetown will battle
with its old rival. Fordham. and Rut-
gers on that day will attempt to
avenge it's defeat of last season by
Syracuse, on the Polo Grounds. On
