 Every golfer in the duffer class es- pecially if he or she has not been long at the game, should acquire a good style. Play the shots in the proper form and almost anything will be possible. The old adage, A stitch in time saves nine," was never more fitting than "A fault early con tracted means trouble protracted." Remember, therefore, a few timely lessons before habits become formed may save years of regrets. There $ no time like the present.
 Despite the fact that he lost the dse of his right arm at Gallipoi, Capt. Frank Sutton still manages to play golf of no mean calibre. Out on the Del Monte links in California he devoted considerable time to de- veloping a swing with his left hand and now he can hold his own with the rank and file of players. Re gently Sutton, playing with Jack Neville, the former California cham pion. turned in a card of S4. He drives straight and true, and it is remarkable what distance he gets. On the ninth hole the soldier had a putt for and on the eighteenth, another long affair, the visitor act ualIy holed out in 3, Neville taking 4.

The Boston Braves have re- turned Pitcher Lefty George to the Columbus club. Perhaps this time George will be sentenced to finish out his career in the minors. George is a minor league veteran, but at periodic intervals he is picked up by some big league clubs. Cleveland tried him out about ten years ago and the St. Louis Browns also gave him another chance several years after that.

FORMER NATIONAL LEAGUE HITTERS
 LACCINC BEHIND
Sherwood of Reds, Who Led In 1910; Hal Chase and Daubert Take Flop Baseball News.

Former National League batting champions are faring poorly this spring. Sherwood Magee of the Reds, champion of 1910, is down at -213, yet this is considered better than the average possessed by Jake Daubert and Hale Chase. Daubert, who led the old league in hitting in 1913 and 1914, is moving along at a .197 gait, while Hal Chase, 1916 champion, is keeping company with the Boston outfielders and the pitchers. Hal is hitting 1856. Zack Wheat, champion of 1918, is hitting only PAP. South worth, who fvI Wheat last season, hitting .341 in 62 games, hit only .071 in four games, when he was taken out of the Pirate lineup.

Miller Huggins has added a few morew rinkles to the collection on his brow in the last few weeks trying to decide who shall play right field for the Yankees and lead off his bat ting order. The Tank lead-off men have not been conspicuous for their ability to get on. Wick, the first one tried out is hitting .156. Then Halas was given his chance and hit only .11s. Lamar. the third guess, is hit ting .125. The only answer to the problem seems to be for the Tanks to dig up a new outfielder.

placed upon the men who lost limb or
health for the country the opprobrium
of being called pensioners The
war risk insurance does not relieve
the country Of all the tax burden. but
it does fix the amount which the in
jured soldier receives and that amount
does not go to him as an act of grace
or favor. but as the settlement of a
clean. straight insurance policy, on
which he paid the premium.
Thus far the government has paid
out $90O,000.000 and gotten back in
premiums approximately 100000, 900.
The taxpayers must bear the rest.
That is right. because the men have
paid what they would have paid for
