is no great amount of loft to it.
there is sufficient for the type of
pitch required.
Travis is also the first golfer in
memory who began. when the oc-
casion was suitable. to use a put
ter out of a banker. When he found
it was possible to run the ball
up the sloping side of a bunker
with a putter. he frequently prefer
red this stroke to using a niblick.
The main idea is to get the ball
as close to the hole as possible.
If n putter can do the work more
simply and more effectively than a
niblick in the banker and a jigger
OFF the green, why not use the put
ter? There is no rule or law in
golf that limits the use of the put
ter to the actual boundaries of the
green itself.
Travers' Way.
Travers. fifty yards off the green.
was the most dangerous golfer of
them all. Alex Smith has frequently
said that at his best Travers would
beat any golfer he ever saw five
times out Of eight from a distance
fifty yards from the pin.
From this distance he was almost
sure to have a limited putt left.
And he could he counted on to sink
most Of these puts.
We recall a match he had with
Hagen at Garden City, where Hagen
was out-driving him by thirty
yards. But on at least three occa-
sIons. where Hagen was much
closer to the pin with Travers off
the green, the latter got his chip
shot dead and won the hole.
Main Details.
To keep the head still; to keep
the body out of the stroke; to use
you will find the main details to be
watched in playing a chip shot.
The pitch or flick comes from the

hole.
Evans, as a rule, plays this shot
exceptionally well. but 1t was the
shot at Oakmont that beat him In
the Ouimet match. as he failed to
get his chip within fifteen feet of
the cup through hurrying his
stroke.
This stroke, above all. requires
an unhurried. unf1urried handling of
the club.
II is generally missed through a
nervous jab or stab. and in no other
stroke is there greater temptation
to lift the head.

Mike Lynch viii
Run in Distance
Hike at Boston

Three District distance mixers
have entered the Boston Athletic
Associations annual marathon road
race which will be held on Patriots S
Day. April 10. This road hike from
Ashland. Mass, to Boston is to be
recognized as an official tryout for
marathon runners who desire to be
candidates on the American Olym-
pic team.
Mike J. Lynch. the Carroll Insti-
tute veteran: Edwin Bland and
Jimmy Montague are the local run
ners who will compete in this clas-
sic. OF this trio, the veteran Lynch
has a grand opportunity of making
the Olympic team. Mike has COM
peted in six of the Boston mara
thons. and knows the course like a
book. His first race over the course
found him finishing twenty-first in
a field of 100 starters, while he i'm
proved his position the next year
to thirteenth and since has never
finished out of the first eight
Last season he trailed Frank
Lassko. of the Morningside A c.
of New York. the winner. and
Frank Zunna of the American Le-
gion across the finishing line
finish in the first five this season
and also expects both Bland and
Montague to make the other runners
hustle for honors. Lynch is not
claiming he will win the race
although the Boston A. A officials
/ have already picked him to land
J the honors because of the recent
! poor showings of both Lassko and
Zuna in the Detroit race.
| Charles Miller. of the Chicago A
, A, winer of the A. +. F. and Detroit
marathons, is another favorite for
I the honors, but as he has never
run the course Il is expected that
he may be killed off on the hills at
Wesley College about the halfway
distance. Sidney Hatch, of the
/ Pittsburg A A, the veteran of six
teen Boston marathons, is another
who is expected to show the young
sters the route. while Kyronen. the
famous Finn of the Irish-American
( A. c., is also expected to make a
creditable showing. Should Lynch
land in the first five in this race he
/ is sure 10 be selected for an
Olympic berth because of his vast
experience.
