Reds and White sox Maintain Lead rs
Seasons End Ncars.

New York. Aug. 23.-Another days
battling in both major leagues passed
into the records yesterday with moth

maintenance OF position by the lead

The Reds and Giants, and incl

their relative positions in the race
were unchanged.
In the American league all the first
division clubs won, with like result so
far as the percentage column is con-
Cerned.
These happenings, while not in
creasing the lead of the Reds and
White Sox, naturally are favorable to
them, since another game Topped from
the few remaining to be played in
either league with the leaders mar

An important series opens in Chi

game see in this series the last hope
of the Yanks to reinstate themselves
as real factors in the race.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 23.@The final
battle for the title of national amateur
golf champion started this morning
at the Oskmont country club course
between Robert T. (Bobby) Jones of
Atlanta and s. Davidson Heron, of
Pittsburgh. Interest in the round was
at a tense pitch owing to the stake

Bobby Jones and that OF his local OPP
ponent, who is but five years older.
Heron is receiving the local backing,
but even money has been placed on
him.
Jones and Heron won the right to
compete for the championship yes

I am always conscious of a good grip
on my club.
Here is another little trick in the
mi6-iron shot which IL is very well
to know: Do not bring the clubhead
up too quickly on the back stroke.
Take pains TO bring IL back along the
ground a little ways before going up.
This little wrinkle is a decided help in
getting distance and control.
1t is my opinion that iron shots
should be practiced zealously. keeping
uppermost in the mind the impor-
lance of accuracy. feel this way be-
cause iron, shots certainly offer the
opportunity to some of the finest golf
play. When you and your mid-iron
understand each other well enough so
that you are ambitious to play for the
hole and not be content with making
the green then you will see what /
mean by a first class mid-iron shot
and you will enthuse over its posi-
bilities. OF course, it goes without
saying that since the mid-iron is
shorter than a driving iron you should
take the stance somewhat nearer the
ball. Most players do not have sure
enough control in full mashie shot.
Such players will get better results by
using a half or three-quarter shot
with a mid-iron and using the mashie
only when within pitching distance Of
the green.
W nat Is ACdnI Oy AcCpAhS
the eye on the ball?
ANSWER-There is a tendency, partic-
ularly on the part Of beginners, to raise
the head before the ball is struck in order
to watch 1t in flight This Is fatal to good
playing. Just where you should keep
| your eye depends on the shot. For an
ordinary stroke you should keep your eye
on the ground Just back Of the ball.
| QUESTION-In swinging my clubs i
frequently hit the small Of my back. What
| is the trouble with me?
| ANSWER-Probably you are not hold
| ing your clubs with sufficient firmness sad
your wrists are given too much play.
QUESTION-While playing In four
some the other day two players who were
| following US insisted they had the right
to drive thru and go ahead Of US. Were
| they right about this?

permits a twosome to play thru a four

of direction and give the ball the
quickest wrist snap possible. This
should be done with relaxed wrists
and rhythmicaIIy, with perfect timing.
When this snap is properly done 1t
gives q throw to the clubhead that
adds distance. To take a little chip
OF sod after you have hit the ball is
the way a master golfer plays the shot.
To do so steadies the flight of the ball
in a surprising way.
You will observe many players who
seem to be sort of stabbing the ball
with their mid-irons. This is all
wrong. The clubhead should go thru
the turf following the imaginary di-
rection line. with the shot played with
the bent" follow-thru.
There is another point which find
Is a bit difficult to make clear with
words, but stating 1t the best can 1t
is this: You must find a middle
ground between tenseness and relax
ness. If you play with either too
much of one or the other your shot

ties. 1 believe the finger grip is the
best OF all grips. and the only real
tightness I experience in gripping my
clubs for the shot is. tightness Of the

offegs to serve as professional to out of

"Boney'' is distinctly q Topeka pro-
duct He learned golf caddying at the
Country club. He is now a member of
the Shawnee club and one Of the best
players in Kansas despite his three or
four years OF playing and his youth.
There Is a move on foot to keep
Bonebrake in Topeka by attaching
him to the Shawnee club as a profess
sional. 1t would be costly effort on
Shawnee's part, owing to the clubs
short time in the Kansas field as n
blow to Topeka golfers to see "Boney"
leave.
Charlie Flanders started to refill the
sand pits on the Shawnee course the
other day. The sand instead of spread
ing over the surface disappeared in
whirlpools into the huge cracks in the
sun-baked ground and he was forced
to cease his operations upon orders of
the club treasury. The traps must
wait for their sand bath until after
heavy rain fills the grand canyons.
The younger generations who have
taken up golf in Topeka have turned
their eyes to the Shawnee club for
real sport Here is the way one of the
rah-rahs explains it:
The Country club. OF course, has

final nine holes.
Frank Griggs, Kansas champion. is
working out a new caddy system for
the Topeka Country club. Under this
system players will give their caddies
grades on all scores turned in. There
will be "a" grade, "B" grade and "C''
paid according to grades This, 1t is
believed, will prove an incentive to the
caddies to do better work and will re-
ward the older caddies and enable
them to make more money than the
younger boys. The grading will be

dies are supposed to possess.
Country club players predict that
any score under 90 will qualify players
for the invitation tournament which
will be held the first week in Septem-
Der. All members of the Topeka
Country club and the Shawnee club
are expected to qualify Saturday and
Sunday. Aug. 80 and 81. Many Shaw
nee club players have signifted their
intention of qualifying. Thirty-two
players will be qualified for the first
flight, 50 for the second, 16 for the
third and all the other players will be
placed in the 'also ran" flight.
Robert Fullerton. father of the
Shawnee golf club, who has been one
of the chief boosters OF the proposition
to procure government atrplane
landing field for Topeka, says that the
Cowles field which has received the
approval of Colonel Morrow also
would make an ideal golf course.
Many of the Shawnee club players are
beginning to worry about the time
when they will have to give up their
present grounds TO the Country club
and it has been suggested by some of
the directors that steps be taken at
once to provide funds with which to
