lnerc are certain necessary tHlnBSs
that the golfer must do to play each
we'll for him to consider each case
because he is coming upon
them several times on every round.
| will take up to-day the matter of
playing an upslope shot. In the first
place this stroke is best played with
a natural slice. If played correctly
there will be slice, so it is best to
allow for this by aiming slightly to
the left.
In taking your stance, unless play
ing against the wind, it is best to
stard back of the ball with an open
stance.
The right leg must be held str,.ight
and almost stiff. The right leg is now
the sole support of the swing since
the left knee must be bent in order
to allow for the rising ground.
So be sure the right leg braces the
swing.
There is more of bend of the left
knee than pivot, bracing with the in
side of the left foot, but not coming
up too far upon the left toe.
Working for Control
1t is important here to stand just
little closer to the ball and to take a
slightly shorter grip upon the club.
Also not to take full swing. 1t is
important not to swing back too far.
The club head coming back follows
the angle of the ground, and after
close along the ground upon it's fol-
low through.
There is no feeling here of lifting
slope % us is all all that way.
1t is best to use fairly straight
faced club for this reason. The ball
gets up more quickly than usual from
an upslope shot than from any other
type.
In this shot don't keep the feet too
far apart.
Getting Balance
It is extremely important here to be
sure of your balance. Your stance is
an unnatural one that can hardly be
called comfortable.
But don't let it break up your con-
fidence. After all it is a golf shot that
must be played, all part of the game.
Balance at the top of the swing now
is doubly important. So after bracing
with your right leg and the inside of
your left foot, be sure not to make the
common mistake of falling away from
the ball.
You will notice the average golfer
on this stroke falling back as he
swings and of course spelling the
shot.
You must stand to it and see that
the head doesn't sway back with the
swing. Stay firmly on your feet and
hit mostly with the arms. This is
stroke where the arms and knees are
more important than anything else.
Dig that right foot into the ground
and be sure you are firmly fixed be-
fore starting your back swing

on the most of the players who famed
the strikes were called. Invariably, the
hrst batsman up in every inning was
called out on strikes, without even TAX
ing his bat off his shoulder, SO COM
pletely did the benders sent through bv
Sisler deceive them.
;Slsler made many wonderful records
whlie pitching to college batsmen.
Sister didn't pitch more than twenty
games while with the Michigan team
and many of these were only part
games. AS far as can be ascertained.
only thirty hits were made off his de-
livery. Sisler has record of striking
out fifteen batsmen in succession. It
happened this way:
Famed Fifteen in Row
In game he was called in to finish
the last two innings, six men famed
in row. In the next game Sisler be-
gan with the first inning and until the
end of the third round not q man
touched the ball, nine striking out.
This brand of pitching was too good
and he was sent to the outfeld. and
this incident explains why George
Sister wasn't used more in the role Of
hurler while at Michigan. With him on
the mound it took all the competition
out of the game
With the bat Sisler was in class by
himself, for no college hurler had any
thing to deceive the Ohio lad. He had
batting average of .543 for his en-
tire career at Michigan, and the re-
markable feature about his stick work

In case you are standing above your
ball grip nearer the end of the club.
1t IS best to use an iron here for the
gamble with wood is too great to be
taken.
|, In case you are standing below your
ball, take a shorter grip on the club
and swing with your arms, letting
the follow through take it's own
course.
1t isn't necessary to pivot as much
in these cases as one would upon
normal ground.
With the Irons
In using an iron club on an up
slope lie it is better to play the ball
In other words, you stand more in
front Of the ball than back of it. The
loft of the club plus the rising angle
will get the ball up quickly-too
quickly at times; so it is best to use
straight faced club for this shot
There should never be a thought of
lifting the ball. Let the iron club
head follow the slope of the ground
without dragging or. jerking it up.
taking your stance for this shot that
it is necessary to establish a firm
balance before you ever start your
swing--that you brace with the right
leg and that you take a shorter grin
on the club, stand bit closer to the
ball and don't swing back too far.
The idea is to keep the swing a.
compact as possible and to call more
upon the use of the arms and knees,
1t is also necessary not to get dis
couraged over queer breaks of the
ground: As matter of fact an up
slope lie is frequently the easiest and
simplest of all shots to play, espe-
cially if your feet are on about the
same slope with the ball.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
BY GRANTLAND RICE
Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.

For one who is willing to take his
eye for moment off the long fight of
a golf ball down the glade or beyond
some bunker there is much to look at
in golf that is we'll worth while.
A short while ago we were playing
out a round with i'm Barnes, in which
the open champion was doing most of
the capacity of the Human Observation
Post.
This round was over Pine Valleys
magnificent course, and Barnes that day
was on top of his best form.
Unfortunately, the most interesting
part of his game to watch is also the
hardest detail to put clearly into print
since it involves the way he waited
for the ball, or for the stroke, in the
development of perfect timing.
Waiting on the Stroke
Now, most of the faults in golf-or
at least many of them-all come from
this matter of hitting too soon-de-
structive of all good timing.
The average golfer can't restrain his
innate eagerness to soak the ball, to
swat it as quickly as he can, just as
if the ball in another second would
spread it's thin wings and sail away as
briskly Rs a quail or snipe.
The average player applies most of
his force at the wrong sector of the
swing.
In place of letting the club head go
singing on through, picking up increas-
ing speed and crashing into and
through the ball when the club head is
holding its greatest momentum, he hits
too quickly, gets the flick from his
wrists at the wrong moment and has
little left with which to get any dis
tancc.
1t was a JOY to see how we'll Barnes
controlled this impulse = how he
waited for the blow, whipping in the
decisive punch just at the right mo-
ment with the club head still gaining
in speed as it went on through, flick
ing the top of the turf upon which the
ball reposed.
There was nothing slow or halting or
jerky about this swing. 1t came back
at steady, even steed, with the left
hand in control Of the club.
There was no attempt to break the
wrists on the downward swing.
There was no attempt to start the
downward swing with the wrists, as
so many advocate.
1t was rather downward stroke,
with both hands and wrists firm, the
left hand still doing it's duty.
But once the downward swing was
we'll under way the left hand and
wrist merely remained as steadying

factors. the right taking full control
Of the blow for the latter part of the
swing.
The Secret of Timing
This is the secret Of good timing
and yet it isn't secret in any sense.
First, there must come, Of course,
the balance at the top of the swing,
which is the foundation of timing.
Without this balance, where the
weight is rightly distributed and one
is in position to- hit with force, there
can be no downward punch that car
ries any great force.
But with this balance established, the
next move is to restrain the desire
and the overeagerness to lash out too
quickly at the bail.
1t will wait there until it is struck
by the club head. 1t has no idea of
getting up and going away. So let the
downward swing start evenly without
any rush. 1t isn't bad idea to focus
on some point eight or ten inches be-
yond the ball for the full force of the
blow.
If one can do this the club head then
will very likely go whizzing on through
at top speed.
1T was interesting TO see, IN aQQlClOn,
how firmly Barnes struck even his short
pitches and how cleanly he seemed to
take the ball. He rarely took any turf
to speak of, being content to scrape
only the top of the sod. There was no
case of overswinging on short pitch
and then choking up or easing up the
swing at the last moment, one of the
commonest faults of mashie play. 1t
was all crisp, firm, decisive.
Here again he never hurried the
stroke, almost pausing at the finish of
the back swing as he came down with
a deliberate motion that was acceler-
ated at the right time, viz, just before
hitting the ball and not at the start of
the downward journey.
This tendency to wait for the flick
or punch was even noticeable in the
open champions putting, where there
was no hurried effort, but the appiica-
tion of the punch, just in the act of
hitting the ball.
1t is a great thing in golf, baseball
or tennis to be able to wait for the
ball, not to hit too soon. And the player
who doesn't develop this control over
his natural eagerness will always be the
victim of shifting form and erratic
play, leaning always to the ragged side.
And this can only come from mental
pose, from holding the nervous system
in some restraint while the club head
lis permitted to do its share of the
work in hand.
