COLONEL J. A. ORR

Judge J. A. Orr. one of the really
big men of the "Old South died at
the home of his daughter. March
10th. in New York City.
judge Orr was born in 1928; was
a native of South Carolina. and was
descended from revolutionary an
cestors. He inherited from them
the spirit of intolerance for oppres-
sion that made him first among his
countrymen in resisting the wrong
sought to be put upon this section
by the Federal government in 1860.
He was a graduate of Princeton
College and doctor of laws of the
University of Alabama. Being high
ly educated and patrio tically en-
dowed. peculiarly fitted him to be
among the movers for secession
during the trying times of the con-
vention which separated the South
from the Federal union and led to
the formation of the Southern Con-
federacy. After the first provisional
congress be raised the 31st Missis-
sissippi Regiment and commanded
it as colonel until his election as a
member of the second Confederate
congress. AS a jurist he ranked
high. serving as Judge of the sixth
judicial district of Mississippi and
subsequently as attorney for the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad Co. The
ninety-four years of Judge Orr's life
were passed in honorable service.
The useful career of this mans
life is left as legacy to history and
is impressed upon the hearts of
posterity who will remember his
service to his country with appreci-
alton and gratitude.
Judge Orr's remains were inferred
in the family plot at Columbus, in
which city he resided many years,
an honored citizen.

A clergyman who had been a mis-

his residence in Berkeley, Cal. His
friend and fellow missionary, DR..
Boone, returning on furlough, was
expected to arrive In San Francisco
on a certain day. DIR. Smith, the
clergyman mentioned, crossed the
bay to the city. He meant to find
DR.. Boone and his party, and after
spending the day in sightseeing to
take them to dinner at well-known
cafe.
The steamship, however, had
reached port earlier than had been
expected, and when DIR. Smith got
10 the dock his friends had left. He
made inquiries at the principal ho-
tells, but could not find them. In
order to notify his family in Ber-
kelley of the necessary change in
plans, DR.. Smith sent them a tele-
gram. Here is the somewhat dam
aged message that Mrs. Smith final

Different Treatment Required
ForIrona and Wooden Golf Clubs
u. S. Open Champion Advises Player to Stand Fur
ther Away From Ball in Using Driver and Brassie
Length Should Be AZ Inches for Average Man
BY James M. Barnes
Open Golf Champion of United States

gether with the wrists unbroken. They
should start down evenly and steadily,
without any wild rush, picking up speed
along the way until at the right mo-
ment the blow is made and the club
head whipped into the ball.
AS the club head crashes in the
arms go out after the ball. There
should be no stopping of the club
after the ball has been hit. The fol-
low through is not completed until
both arms are straight out in the di-
rection of the hole.
The Right Club
In selecting driver it is better to
get one with slight loft. 1 don't be-
lieve in having one with too straight
a face. In fact, it isn't bad idea to
use brassie from the tee, with an
other brassie slightly more lofted for
the fairway.
For the average man I advise a
driver or brassie around forty-two
inches in length, with firm shaft and
the feel Of the head. A club that feels
like stick of wood is no good.
The weight might average around
thirteen ounces, but all the weight
mustn't be in the grip and shaft. AL
ways be able to feel the weight Of the
head.
In handling the body remember
backward. In guarding against a
backward sway be careful not to lean
too far forward at the top of the swing.
for then you will have no power left
with which to hit the ball.
l don't believe in long, heavy clubs,
for you can get just as far with the
lighter ones and control them in an
easier way.
Since you are after distance as we'll
as direction, balance is an important
thing in handling a wooden club, and
you can get this balance only by the
proper pivoting of left shoulder and
distribution of weight at the top Of the
swing. so far as the feet are concerned.
Let the left arm come back straight
as far as it will go, and then at the
top there is a slight bend of the
wrists, a natural bend to complete the
back swing.
Let the body again use only the same
amount of space in pivoting that it
held before. That is to say, you pivot
in the same space the body held at the
start, without swaying to the right or
left.
The head always remains the anchor
to the swing and must not be moved.
1t isn't bad idea, however, before
starting the swing to tilt the chin in
slightly toward the right shoulder.
If you are hooking or smothering the
ball, turn out the toe of the driver or
brassie slightly.
The ball should be played just trifle
to the right of the left heel, with either
slightly open or a slightly closed
stance, depending mainly upon greater
physical comfort.

Seven Cue Wizards
TO Meet i'm Tourney
For Title of World
Hoppe Will Defend Cham
pionship Against Six
Contenders at Chicago

The last in the series of international
contests which have made this season
one of the greatest in the history of
sport will begin in Chicago tomorrow
The first worlds professional balkline
billiard tournament that has been held
since 1905 will be launched, to continue
through November %. With seven of
the strongest cue wielders that could
be mustered together on two CONT
nents-and that means the balkline
billiard world-the event promises to
be the greatest ever held, not only from
the viewpoint of general and wide
spread interest, but in keenness of com
petition and remarkable performances
as we'll.
Never before has such a galaxy of
stars been assembled to compete on the
green cloth. Not even in the days when
Jake Schaefer, the "Wizard"; Frank
Ives, Billy Sexton, Maurice Daly.
George Slosson, Maurice Vignaux, Louis
Cure and others were doing duty was
a field of such class sent to the post.
A glance at the entries should suffice to
convince even the layman of the quail
ity that will battle for premier honors:
Willie Hoppe, worlds champion; Jake
Schaefer, now of Chicago; Welker
Cochran, Of San Francisco; George SUIT
ton, of Chicago; Ora Morningstar of
California; Edouard Horemans, of Bel
gium, the champion of Europe. and
Roger Cont, of Paris, the champion of
France.
For the first time in the last several
years the winner of this years tour
nament will be subject to challenge.
The players participating in the tour
nament will have the privilege of chal-
longing for the title in the order Of
their standing at the termination, of
the tourney. Each of the challenge
matches will involve a money stake of
$4,000. $1,000 to be posted by each the
and challenging player. The

New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

There are certain general principles
of course, that govern the play Of both
wood and iron, but in many important
ways they call for different treatment
For no man can play both with the
same stroke and not find serious
trouble.
In taking up the use or play Of driver
or brassie the first thing to remember
is to stand trifle further away from
the ball and to be prepared for looser
freer stroke.
The body should be slightly more re-
laxed, for we are coming now to q
much firmness as iron play calls for.
There should be more freedom in the
play of the left arm, and the right ell
bow isn't SO compactly held against
the body.
The left arm, as always, must be kept
straight, but not stiff. There is big
difference here and one that must be
watched. A stiff, straight left arm Is
no advantage at all. There can be just
slight natural bend at the left elbow
but it must not be too much OF bend
merely a slight give to prevent stiff
ness.
Important Features
The grip should be about the same
as for iron play, with the left hand
slightly over
The two VS. formed by the thumb and
forefinger Of each hand should be
pointing at the right shoulder. If you
keep this in mind you can always judge
your grip correctly.
The left shoulder and the left knee
start together. AS the left shoulder
comes around, be sure that the left
knee pivots at the same time. There is
more turn of the body in this stroke
with an easier feeling of body and
arms.
AS the left knee pivots in, with the
kneecap pointing at the ball, the left
heel will come up at least an inch,
with the ball of the left foot firmly
gripped against the turf.
The weight at the top of the swing
should be about evenly balanced upon
both feet.
In iron-club playayou have a sense of
steering the ball. The wood calls for
less of this. In swinging through
don't be in too big hurry to apply the
blow If possible imagine that you are
to deliver the full force Of your swing
at some object five or six inches on be-
yond the ball, and you will then very
likely put in the snap at the right
time.
The Wrist Snap
Many golfers are taught to put the
snap in at the top of the swing, to
start the down swing with movement
of the wrists.
I believe this is all wrong. You can
only put the snap in once, and if you
use it at the top of the swing you
will have nothing left when it comes to
hitting the ball.
The hands and arms start down TO-

and it has given me greater confidence
l feel that my clubhead is still pick
ing up greater speed two or three
inches beyond the ball, in place of
dying out or slowing down as the ball
is struck.
Gas the ball remains against the
club head for two or three inches, it
is important that it leave the club
as the latter is still gathering force
This is what causes the ball to jump
away SO quickly and to carry so far
You can't get distance if you apply
the punch just before the bali is
struck and let the main force die out

keep on going through at even greater

Worth Watching
A few days ago we visited the great
Pine Valley course outside of Phila-
delphia with Jim Barnes and Walker.
On the fourth hole, one of the finest
two shooters in the world Walker
must have driven close upon 300 yards.
The distance he got with his 115-
pound body and 12-ounce driver was
almost beyond belief. The ball appar-
emily was just rising as it cleared the
upland some 180 yards from the
tee, and when he came to it only a
light iron was needed where ordinarily
two full wooden shots are required
for the best of players.
His pivoting and his timing are
perfectly co-ordinated. The left shoul-
der comes we'll around, in perfect
unison with the bend of the left knee,
and just after the downward starts he
seems to lash at the bail. At any rate,
his club head is travelling at bewilder-
ing speed as it passes on through the
ball, which leaps away like bullet.
Walker has played in many of the
big tournaments of the year. Yet he
has rarely been outdriven by any one,
although he has exchanged drives with
many of the longest hitters golf now
knows. He is final proof that distance
doesn't belong to Drawn alone and that
physical power is secondary affair
where the stroke is correctly delivered,
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13
Tales of a Wayside Tee
Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc.

If any one should care to pick up q
unique example along the line of cor
rect timing and snap in golf, apart
from the use of physical power, he
should watch Cyril Walker, the Engle-
wood pro, for round or two. Walker
is far out of the ordinary in this re-
spect. To begin with, he isn't very
tall and weighs only lis pounds.
He hasn't the stocky build Of Freddie
Mcleod or Jack Bowling. His hands
are not large and his wrists are not
thick.
He is slight, slender and lighter than
bantamweight. He uses driver just
forty-one inches long, weighing just
twelve ounces.
A twelve ounce driver is lighter than
most women use. After picking it up
was far too light and too short for
your own use.
Yet with this club Walker is one
of the longest drivers in the country
He is fully as long as Walter Hagen
or Jock Hutchison and about as long
as George Duncan. We have seen him
carry over $50 yards on several occa-
sions, reaching three-shot holes of $50
yards in two full blows.
Snap and Timing
Walkers timing is assclose to per-
fection as any one could find AS ne
snaps into the ball the club head
seems to be going two miles second,
and yet he waits for the blow.
In some mysterious way he has
added at least twenty yards to his
drive this year, which happens to be
the best season he has ever known,
with a record of many great rounds.
part of this" he says, has come from
watching the way Jim Barnes holds in
his right elbow. My own at one
time had a tendency to get away from
my body. Part of it is due to better
timing, which is always hard to ex-
plain. | found, also, that used to hit
just trifle too soon. l tried to put
in the big punch too quickly. This is
common fault. | have corrected that.
