THE SHORT GAME.

but not including it. I say 1875 yards
because I consider anything beyond
that long shot. but. of course, in
this connection ! am thinking only
of experts. 1t would be a little differ
ent for the poorer players.
The short golf shots are the really
delicate parts of the game. They are
played with various clubs: for in
stance. with run-up irons, pitcher.
jigger. mashte-niblick. etc. and with
these clubs it is liGhtened stroke.
When it comes to a question Of max
ing the cluhhead go slow. and an ap-
plication of less strength. then comes
in pronounced degree of difference
between players. Hence the impor-
tance of the short game.

Evans Was Favorite.

In spite OF the fact that the battle
OF the Bobs. Jones and Gardner, was
In progress. as soon as the throng be-
gan to gather attention was turned
toward the big match" Those in
clined to reason a bit in advance and
oack their judgment with friendly
wagers gave Evans the margin in
these figures. This was due mainly
to the fact that Ouimet was known to
have started the tournament a sick
man.
After a very. brief period it became
apparent that any effects of Ouimet's
mdisposftion were surely invisible to
the naked eye. Further proof of this
contention had effectively sunk in by
the time they finished the first nine
holes with the Boston crack holding
lead OF one hole. When he took the
tenth Evans enthusiasts were begin
ming to become plainly apprehensive.
1t was an even toss on their drive
Tor this last and deciding hole. as de-
velopments were to prove. Ouimet
played hrst and sliced a long iron
shot to trap at the right Of the
bidding as the heel print of a missile
from Big Bertha. The door was open
to Evans. He was a bit overanxious.
His long low iron veered to the left
and dropped in high. thick grass Just
Evans would have laid that ball
within twenty feet of the cup.

JAP AN IS ASKED
TO NAME DATE
U. S. Requests Information on
Shantung Question, Toxic
Paper Declares.
OFFICIALS ALL SILENT
Washington Will Not Comment on
Statement in Absence of Presi-
dent-French Chamber De-
lays Treaty Approval.

Toxic, Sept 17.-According to the
Jill Shimpo, the United States has re-
quested memorandum from Japan
stating, first, that Japan has no az
gressive designs on the province of
Shantung; second, that Japan is to
abandon her rights to the establish
ment OF an exclusive Japanese settle
ment in Tsing-Tao, and third, an
nouncing the exact date for the return
of Shantung to China, and also the
date for the withdrawal of the Japan
csc troops there.
The newspapers point out that it
will be difficult to fix the dates as
these must be settled by direct nego-
tiations between Japan and China.
Officials Won't Talk.
Washington, Sept 17.-Oficials here
in the absence of President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing, will not COM
ment on the report that the United
States has asked Japan to set def
mite date for the return of Kiao Chau
to China. The general impression in
official circles is that the report is we'll
founded
Japan's answer to such request
by the government would have an
important bearing on the senate's con-
sideration of the peace treaty as one
of the objections to it on which opposi-
ton is being Jcentered in the Shan
tung provision.
Administration supporters of the
treaty feel that a definite announce
ment by Japan setting date for the
return of Kiao Chau would go far to
remove that point.
Various Japanese officials have
stated that Kiao Chau would be re-
turned but time never was set.
Treaty Approval Delayed.
Paris, Sept. 17.-Forty-six deputies
DESTROYS of explaining the reasons
why they would vote for or against the
ratification of the peace treaty, in
scribed their names on President Des-
chauel's blotter when the debate was
resumed in the chamber. The list is
still open and growing daily. :.
M. Viviani, after pointing out the
weaknesses of the treaty, its omis-
sions and errors, concluded with an
imprisoned appeal to the deputies of
all parties to ratify the treaty at the
earliest moment possible.
