The roll call was responded to by the largest gather ing of the membership that has been present at meeting for a long time. After the initiation every one retired to the banquet hall where the ladies of Mooseheart Legion had prepared a sumptuous spread. Everyone partook to his entire satisfaction and pro nounced it one of the best spreads they had been to in a long time. After the supper the members went back to the hall and listened to some oratory from some of the members.

Two teams also stand out above the
others in the Manufacturers Basketball
League. This season appears to be the
best ever for the industrials and the
attendance records are being surpassed
at each game. The new rule allowing
two outsiders was a wise one and also
the addition of dancing after the games.
In the contests last week there was q
marked improvement in the playing of

teams have three or four good players

preaching you will have the wind at
different angles; one one hole it will
be with you, Mt another against you.
II the ground is hard. practice the
running approach if it is soft and the
green guarded in front, use the pitch
shot.
There are so many different shots
that can be played with the iron
clubs that the practice should be
less irlisOme than with the driver.
T AM inclined TO believe that the aver
l. age golfer needs more practice in
his approaching end of the game than
any other. Somehow or other those who
take up golf have an idea that good
drive is the making of the game. and
so they cultivate this more than any
other stroke. with the result that their
iron club play is neglected. Driving n
fair. distance with a degree of accuracy
that is, getting on the fnirway-is. Of
course. essential to playing good game
of golf, but approaching calls for so
much accuracy that 1t necessarily. calls
for more practice.
Two Hours Per Week
In my next article | shall deal with
practcing before entering tournaments,
and the pleasure that can be derived
from putting practice. We should all
plan on getting at least two hours q
week of practice in; even more would
be beneficial. and it would lead TO n

at New York Session
NATIONALS MEET

New York: Dec. 12.-Manhattan,
exclusive scene Of the last worlds series
in baseball, bubblcd again today with
chatter of the national pastimc and
bhnked its eyes in whirlwind of dia
mond dust.
Owners. managers. players and Of
otficials gathered for the annual Ma
tional. American, International and
Joint major leagues meetings. launched
into conferences that were expected to
result before the end of the week in a
series OF trades and purchases that
would place many stars and near stars
In different uniforms next season.
The International League meeting
got under way today with President
Ioole umpirng. 1t had before it for
discussion the efforts of syndcates in
Montreal and Providence to re enter the
League through the purchase of fran
chises now held by Syracuse and Jersey
City.
Talk Of Trades
The majors. facing peaceful sessions.
were talking n great deal Of trades and
purchases and giving little attention to
such subjects as the draft. the proposed
seven game Worlds Series suggested
by. Judge Landis and the high prices
asked by the minors for their best per-
formers.
The Cubs. the Pirates. the BroOklyns.
and the Braves and nearly all the other
National League club owners and man
ayers announced they were in the mar
ket for players and were ready TO talk
business. The Yankees and the Tigers
were together trying to arrange trade
and cash deal whereby Ehmke and
Ieach would come to New York. and
the Reds appeared to bc negotiating
with officials of several clubs.
Garry Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati tqub. was nll chuckles and
smiles when he discussed the Groh deal.
Garry thought that he had just about
made the best deal of his career. and
Pat Moran, his able manager, nodded
assent.
Dreyfuss Wants Stock
Barney Dreyfuss was talking about
Third Baseman Stock as a good addi-
tion to his team and intimated that he
would pay pretty penny for him.
George Gibson had few things to say
about Traynor, the young shortstop re
called from birmingham, of the South
ern Association. last fall. and it was
gathered that the Pirates wouldn't be
avcrse to letting rabbit" Maranville
loose IL they could do so in n trade.
Bill Killefer and President Vecck
let it be known that they would like n
good second baseman. good third
sacker and maybe another man.
In the American League every club
seems to be after players. For instance
Joe Schener the keeper Of the third sack
down in Louisville, in an American As
sociation town. is spoken of highly and
may be purchased this week by one or
the other of the clubs-all according to

would be staged Mt the Madison Square
Garden. but persons from the big city
say he has not chance of playing
there.
Manager Myers. of the Phils. is NO
doubt another Of the managers that
Scheff would like to hear from and il
is more than likely that the local owner
will have some interesting news to dis
close to the assembled magnates.
The big change in the Eastern circuit
during the week was the victory OF
Camden over Trenton. 1t was attended
by the largest crowd that ever saw a
game in the Camden Armory, and
proves what has been said all season,
that the fans will not turn out unless
they see two teams of good players
well matched.

pearance as an ice hockey player yes
tcrday afternoon with the German
town Cricket Club. which lost to the
Swarthmore Hockey Club in a League
hatch. The Swarthmore team. won by
score of II to 0.
Tilden occupied the most important
position on seven-man team. He
played the rover berth, which kept the
big fellow skating over all parts of
the ice Tild.en apparently had trouble
at first handling the hockety stick. The
fact that he held it at an unusually
high angle for an expert performer
in the ice game may be accounted for
by his long use of the tennis racquet

the Bachelors Barge Club defeated the

shots. and perhaps by this time you

"vorv stroke Them Yes. you practice
every stroke by PLAYING in match, but
you don't pick out one particular bad
snot in your play and try to improve
n OF course. you try to play the very
hoe, game of golf of which you are
canobIc. but I am convinced that one
hour of practice is worth two hours OF
match play.
with One Club
The way to practice is TO go 10 the
course with one club and the deter
minntion TO spend an hour with it
alone. Don't at the last minute
wcakcr and say. "Wcll. | might MS
wsII wsn" bring along the whole kit. might
meet some of the boys etc.
No take one club. and If that club

times.

yond your limit. for the minute you
begin to press your practice You are
doing more harm than good. Another
wav to nracticp driving is TO take hole
