ace of the Giants. was the arch enemy
of the Cubs Of Chance.
The fact that Joe Tinker could in
variably hit Matty in the old days is

II have never seen the real reason for
Tinker's batting feats against Matty
given.
Tinker could hit Big Six success

against Matty. too.
Joe and myself made a close study
of the big fellow. And after a while
we could tell every ball he was going
to throw before it left his hand.
Crossed Up Sometimes.
Now and then Matty would cross
us up. He would sneak over the

GOLF ETIQUETTE.

Every golfer should learn the print
ed rules of golf etiquette by heart.
They should be his spiritual reading
and no golfer should step near tee
without knowing these rules of con-
duct. Golf etiquette aims to regulate
ones conduct toward ones fellow
players, and a knowledge of it will
help us to sec ourselves as other golf
ers see US.
Agreeable companionship on the
links is one of the great attractions
of golf; indeed. a famous golfer has
said that companions ship is the chief
JOY of the game. Look around you at
any club and you will see that the
man who frequently disregards the
etiquette of the game has few invita-
tions to play with the more desirable
players. for there is no surer way to
lose popularity than selfish violation
of the rights of others. Try not to
earn this sort of unpopularity.
Serious Ofenses.
Talking and moving when player is
about to drive is a serious offense. and
so is standing within a players line of
vision. Keep good distance away
Replacing divots is a rule to be faith
fully lived up to.
When several matches are on the fair
way, singles, foursomes, etc, the player
farthest away Technically designated
away invariably plays first. The
single match has the. right of way, but
If single liz not going any faster than
foursome it should not in courtesy ask
