The Northeast Church Basketball

days, and q schedule Of twenty one
contests has been arranged, fourteen In
the first half and seven In the second
half.
The league went through q most sue
cessful season last year, but with the
advantage of playing in Beacon Hall
which is ideal, not only from basket
ball standpoint but in convenience to
the contenders. the officers of the or
ganization predict a banner season.
Leslie Brown, secretary Of the Manu- :
facturers' Baseball League, is at the
helm.
"Bilr' Taggart will handle the

"NJOT merely hired to carry bag

Tom Cribbin. in point of service one
of the oldest caddy masters In the city,
thus smartly hits the nail on the head
in his preface to a little book Of which
he Is the author. 1t is called Correct
Caddy Conduct
The files Of the bag carriers are

And what else to do and why
makes up the body Of Tom Gribbin's 9
book, a primer in caddy conduct, and
one that every tow topped youngster
peering eagerly through the bars of the
caddy fence on any links ought to know
backward in order to earn his fee.
Bag Minor Part
"a poor caddy is a positive brother
to me-" is the way one local golfer puts

fact I prefer to, rather than suffer the

and stand beside it so can play my

"when play golf I'm playing the
hest I know how. I don't want q caddy
who's grinning at me behind my back or
totally disinterested. In short, tip
caddy who Is with me- and have
no time for the bag carrier who is
'agin me- or who always have to tell
what to do"
These are among the many points
Tom Gribbin. whose station has been
at the Philadelphia Country Club for
twenty years, brings out in his book.
Gribbin starts at the beginning by ex-
planning golf terms in the simplest Ian :.
cuage SO that any boy can understand
| il. He names the clubs in the same
manner. telling what they are for.
There are simple photographs show
ing the boys how to carry the CLUBS
correctly, where to stand during the
several shots. the right and wrong way
to take the pin" and SO forth.
Caddy Education
Along with the pictures are detailed
instructions of just what to do. 1t is
pointed out that golfer knows what
a caddy Ia expected to do and If the
bag .toter fails to do them, it Is just as
annoying to the player as IL he does
them wrong.
Among many pithy paragraphs in the
booklet Is this one:
"Do not suggest or offer q club ia
your player unless he asks you for this
service. Offer the bag to him. He
knows his own ability better than you
do" :.
There is a page or two of "don'ts"
which would benefit nearly all caddies.
Tom Gribbin's school Of caddies has
had among its pupils many a fine golfer
of today and many promising young
man in business who will give Gribbin
lot of credit for a correct start in his
unreasonable days as caddy at the
country club.
Here is Gribbin's closing advice to
the boys he daily assigns to their bit on
the links:
"Your work as a caddy throws you
In close personal contact with the
prominent business men of your local
ity. These men are quick to notice q

appearance and good habits. know Of
many cases where a boy, possessing all
the qualities essential to a first class
caddy has, by reason of his contact with
some big business man, been placed in
most promising position after his
caddy and school life.
The Moral
.''The moral is: Be everlastingly on
the job, doing it well, whether you are
praised or not. Your good work is bound
to pay you handsomely in the future
Local caddies would benefit greatly by
the distribution Of this booklet in their
ranks.
Gribbin also has many Innovations for
handling the caddy problem so that
there is order and efficiency at all times
IN his domain.
Among other things, at the Country
Club tourney last week, he got the
pairings and provided q caddy for each
of the sixty entrants, had them signed
up and assigned to the player the day
before, all Of which was considerable
of q feat and a matter Of foresight In
these school days.
