more fortunate than their brother
yachtsmen on Gravesend Bay and Long
Island Sound. They do not have to
worry this year about the demands of
paid hands.
Hard to Engage Crews
This summer the good sailormen
of Port Jefferson are turning up their
weather beaten noses at berths on
yachts. To go to sea they are demand
ing not only exceptionally high wages
but also an eight-hour day. Under the
circumstances, very few of the larger
boats that have recently been turned
back by the government to their for
mer owners will go into commission.
Commodore Howard C. Borden, At
lantic Yacht Club, is putting two small
yachts into commission at Port Jeffer-
son. One is the schooner Isis, which
he will use as the fltgship of the Sea
Gate club. The other is the power boat
Wig Wag. Other yachts that are going
into commission at Port jefferson are
Norman Johnson's houseboat Belle
Chance; Akela, which was S. P. No.
1913 during the war; and the steamer
iCioio, tHe property OF Maxwell
Wyeth, of Philadelphia, which will not
be put into commission until next
summer.
The same condition of affairs exists
at Greenport, another North Shore
yachting harbor. Commodore James B.
Ford, Larchmont Yacht Club, is put
ting into commission his schooner
veruna. The schooner Vagrant, Vice
Commodore Harold S. Vanderbilt, New
York Yacht Club, is also being made
ready for summer cruising. Another
big yacht that is being commissioned
at Greenport is the big schooner En-
chantress, the property of William E.
1selin.
Harry Payne Whitney will have his
steamed Whileaway this summer The
schooner Tarpon, recently sold to
James Young, of Manhattan, also is
being overhauled at Greenport, as are
the launches that belong to George J..
Gould, Oliver G. Jennings and John l..

Observations of recent tournaments
and recollections of those held in the
past have brought forward again the
tremendous Importance of the short
game in golf.
The short game is not only the
foundation of good golf. 1t is also
the hardest portion of the game to
achieve and the part that brings
greater devastation and woe than any
other factor.
Among both good and bad golfers In
every tournament as they file in at
the finish the chief complaints that
resound on all sides are lamentations
involving trouble in the short game,
especially up around the green's.
Those scoring we'll were also putting
we'll, and getting their chip shots
close to the cup.
The Mental Balance
Why should the short game be a
stout foundation for play? Simple
enough. The golfer who has control of
his short mashie pitches-who is get
ting his chip shots close. and who is
putting well--immedately takes on a
winning confidence
Even if he misses tee shot he
figures that a good approach and a
good putt will carry him safely
through
He no longer feels the foreboding
necessity of getting his long irons and
mashie pitches dead to the pin, in the
knowledge that if he isn't close he
will very likely take three puts.
This restraint is lifted if he is get
ting his puts. l have seen Travers and
Travis time after time win holes from
their opponents who were on the green
in where they were on in g. They
would come up 6, 8, 10 or IL feet
in three shots. Some opponent, fig
uring the hole won would then lay
his approach putt within three feet of
the cup. Travers or Travis would
then hole out for a 4, with the
dismal fact that in place of having
the hole won he now had to hole 81
footer to even get half. This sudden
shift in itself is upsetting enough to
~ ing ooVut q PiepOHueIdHCe OIL missed
puts on their behalf
The Four Varieties
There are four varieties of the
short game worth considering, taken in
order by their length:
1. The mashie shot from rs to 1870
yards away
2. The chip shot from to Is yards
off the green.
3. The approach putt from 20 to 40
feet from the cup.
d.. The and foot putt.
The golfer who has these four shots
in his bag is a rugged customer to
handle, even if his long game is a
trif1e ragged. The golfer who hasn't
these shots in his bag-or at least
three of them-is up against it. And
peculiarly enough, in way, each one
OF these helps the other. The man
who is fairly sure of the and S foot

With Mack's Athletes

Connie Mack, manager Of the Phila-

players who did not participate in the

feel that he has to get the ball within
few inches of the hole to go down
in l more. With this feeling there isn't
the same tendency to lift the head or
impart a nervous jab to the ball.
But the golfer who has been miss
ing his short puts almost Immediately
begins to miss the approach puts also
in the strain Of overriding the job.
The Case of Walter ]. Travis
Walter ]. Travis is undoubtedly the
greatest approach putter American
golf has ever known. He has never
had an equal from 80 to 40 feet from
the pin. But the ex-British and ex-
American champion can rap these
puts forward with the confidence that
comes from the knowledge that even
if he is or feet short or over he
will almost certainly sink the next one.
He first made himself master of the
short putt from 3 to feet, or as
nearly master as any one ever was,
and then with this foundation to build
on started to work on the longer shot.
The mastery or near-mastery of the
short putt is stabilizing influence.
How often have you seen good golfers
miss 3 or 4 shot putt, and then at
the next tee miss their drive, still
brooding over the melancholy Incl
dent? Often enough, if you have fol
lowed many matches.
On the matter of both the short and
the approach putt you never see
Travis, Travers or Ouimet jab or poke
the ball. In all cases their putter
blades, after hitting the ball. swing on
in the direction of the hole with
short follow through. This helps to
hold the ball on the right line. They
have sure, easy rhythm attached
that prevents any nervous jab or poke
where the head almost invariably
comes up.
Where the Trouble Is
There is always greater inclina-
ton to look up on a short shot than
on long one. On the chip shot or
the approach putt there is certain
inward yearning to see the ball roll
closely by the pin, and this yearning
takes possession Of the eye, which
promptly comes up as the putter starts
down. More heads are lifted on the
approach putt or the chip shot than
any other three varieties of shots.
And as the pressure gets greater, the
tendency to lift the head becomes
more pronounced.

Heavyweight Challengers
Given Little Encourages
ment in Fight for Crown
By w. O. Mcclellan

One of the quaint angles to the Will
lard-Dempsey fight is the fact that
many are disposed to give the con-
tender a chance. Harking back to the
time of John L. Sullivan, the contender
for heavyweight championship never
was conceded the chance of Boche.
When Corbett was matched to fight
John L. Sullivan he was more pitied
than censured. When Fitzsimmons was
matched with Corbett Ruby Robert
wasn't given great deal of encourage
ment. When Jeffries was matched with
Fitzsimmons it was pointed out that
Big jeff was just big boob, who had
made himself useful as human punch
ing bag for Corbett.
Long before Jack johnson was
matched to fight Jetfres he was around
challenging Big jeff. One of the ia
vorite stories Of this period was the
cellar fight" story. 1t was related that
Johnson met Jeffries in Harry Cor
belts poolroom in San Francisco and
demanded match.
GAIL right" Jeffries is alleged to
have said: eve will go into the cellar,
and the one that comes out alive will
get a couple of thousand" To which
Johnson is alleged to have replied:
"Ah amt no cellar fighter, Mr.. JEFF
fries"
Jeffries Lacked Agility
Consequently the impression got
around that Johnson was afraid of JEFF
fries, and the chances were even that
he would jump right cut Of the ring
when he faced Jeffries at Reno. john
son didn't jump out of the ring. JET
fries might have jumped if he had been
agile enough.
And 80 on down to the time when
Willard was matched with Johnson. As
matter of fact, Wizards record was
nothing wonderful until he beat John
son, so there was reason for the skep-
ticism that existed as to his chances.
But now comes Jack Dempsey, chal-
lenger and contender, who made his
ring reputation-such as it is-in
about as brief space of time as the
American doughboy made his reputa-
ton cover there" Instead of laugh
ing at his pretensions the consensus of
opinion seems to be that Dempsey has
chance, and good chance.
This may be because the skeptics
have been bumped so hard and so fire.
quently that they have been cured. 1t
may be because Jess Willard does not
hold the popularity that the other
heavyweight champions held The pres
emit champion has been running faster
from the limelight than Jeffries did
He has been mismnnaged and-even as

spread to be a good sailer and at the
same time a safe enough craft for
the younger generation. The prin-
cipal reason for the promotion of the
class was to encourage youngsters.
Still, boat was wanted that would be
large enough to seat five or six adults
without unnecessary crowdlrg.
Order Fourteen Boats.
The committee decided that Goel-
ler's boat ideally filled the bill. A few
changes were necessary on account oe
the shoals and flats of Jamaica Bay.
The boat is a fast, sturdy little craft
cat rugged, ID feet over all by 61z feet
beam, drawing Is inches with board up
and about PA feet with the board
down. Fourteen boats of this class
have been ordered and will be oeliv-
cred about July 1.
The yachtsmen who have ordered
the boats are: Commodore C. A. Mar

L. Wedel. Canarsie Yacht Club, presi-

possibility that Sir Thomas Upton may
