What kearns does not say, but
which is thoroughly patent to all fol-
lovers of boxing i'll this CONNER

risking his laureIs. Only last week it

Beckett, who generally is expected to
knock out Carpenter. has refused to
consider coming to this country, while
Dempsey has declined to entertain the
idea of going TO England. Ultimately
they are sure to clash. for neither can
hope to pick up anything like such a
sum offered by meeting any one else,

$500 EACH FOR GIANTS
National Commission Gives New
York Players Share of World
Series Receipts.

NEW YORK, october 29.4The mem
bers of the Giants were awarded
their share Of the world series re-
ceipts by the national commission
yesterday. BY the new plan of divi-
sion, which was put into effect this
season. the clubs finishing second and
third in both the National and Ameri-
can leagues were. given part of
the money. The full share for each
of the Giants for finishing second
amounted to about $500 Ali the reg
ulars received this amount, while
others were given smaller amounts,
according to their time of service
with the club during the season.
The new system worked out so well
this year that it will be followed
again next season. The prize money
for the second and third place clubs
was an incentive which kept the pen
nant fights at a high pitch of compe-
tition right up to the end of the sea-
son.
The members of the Yankees have
not yet received their share for fin
ishing in third place in the American
League. as the money has been held
up by the national commission pend
ing the decision on the protest of the
Detroit club against awarding the
Yankees third-place money because
of the games in which Carl Mays
pitched.

Stynnies.

Whether stymies sare good golf is
a much debated question, but since
stymles are played in national events
they must enter into the calculations
of golfer.
stymies offer a difficult and annoy
ing question to every popular player
and L find it hard to make many sug-
gestions with which experienced
players are not familiar. 1 believe I
can, however, give some information
on this subject of interest to expert
enced players and very helpful to
beginners. We have suggested the
value of the cut stroke in putting
which gives a curve to a ball and al
lows player to go around a stymie.
TO execute this cut stroke Vardon.
who does it well, turns the face of
the putter slightly outward-that is,
away from the hole. The face of the
club is kept at this angle clear
through the stroke and the moment
the club face comes in contact with
across the ball
All golfers have played base ball
some time or other I'm their lives and
they understand giving the simple
curves to ball such as an incurve
and an outcurve. This same spinning
motion which you used to give a base
ball will if impaired to a golf ball as
described above produce the same
kind Of curves. And let me say here
that this control of the curve in golf
is valuable not only in stymies. but
to avoid a bad piece of the green
which If played otherwise the ball
would have to pass over. There is
even greater use for the curve ball
in putting on sloping greens.
Tricks to Overcome Stymies.
In my recent match with Ouimet at
Pittsburgh Francis stymied me a
of times. One stymie he laid
me on the fifth green was averaged

should be 60 and snappy and is al
most wholly wrist stroke. Still another
method is by giving your. golf ball the
follow-through and thus knocking your
opponents ball over the hole while your
own follows and drops in.
The follow-through is usually PLAYED
by hitting the ball just above the center
and aim squarely at the other ball.
Sufficient force should be used to get
twice the distance ordinarily required.
All ar these three methods must be made
with decision and confidence. III the

and then thought that it would be
large enough to defect my ball to-
ward the hole il 1 could hit it prop
erly. / played this shot and won the
hole. This reminds me of an old trick
of golfers. who used to take their
cleek- putters and rough up the blades
Then they would play up against
these stiff. outstanding blades. which
would resist the ball enough to throw
it back on the line or into the hole.
In playing stymieS one should rec
ognize the simple fact that some sty-
mics can be played successfully and
some cannot When stymie is abso-
.utely impossible it is poor judgment
to attempt to play it, excepting in a
situation where a miracle is necessary
to win.
The danger of giving even this
guarded advice is the fact. as | have
seen so often on the links, many play
erS are SO determined to win the mole
in tight situation that they disre-
gard the situation as it lies before
lutely impossible. The result of this
is that they almost certainly lose the
hole at the finish, instead of halving it:
or they may sink their opponents ball
or even find themselves facing an
other stymie. 1t is in situations like
this that golfing temperament, which
we talked Of in the previous articles,
is of such great value TO a player.
Lofting Is Common Method.
When a player doesn't feel confident
that he can curve his ball around the
stymie a common method of solving the
difficulty is by lofting your ball right
over your opponents. Whether this can
be done or not depends upon how near
the other ball is to the hole and also
how far the balls are apart. OF course.
in playing your ball over your opponent
you must abandon your putter and play
with a club that gives plenty of rise.

A FINE TOMATO GARDEN

Last evening The Leader man was
introduced to one of the finest toma-
to gardens that it has ever been his
good fortune to see. This garden is
in the rear Of the local express office
and is the property and pride of Agent
w. c. Epps. 1t consists of about
twenty plants which stand from four
to six feet high, bearing from IL to
"a of the finest tomatoes each that
have ever been raised anywhere.
There are several NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
there that will easily tip the scales at
one pound each, and the flavor of the
fruit is far ahead of any on the mar
ket. We can talk this way because
these tomatoes are not for sale. Mr.
Epps has staked the plants so that
they are kept off the ground; and the
wisdom of this plan is shown by the
fact that he has one plant that was
not, staked but left to grow as it
would. On this plant there is not even
& sign of tomato, though it was of
the same seed and had the same class
of fertilizer and care of the others
with the exception noted above. Sure
ly this is a tomato country.
