Unlike other ball players. whose
hands rest separately on the handle
of the bat, his left hand grips the
bat firmly at the end. while the right
rests partly on the left hand and
partly on the bat.
This grip is one usually taken by
the golfer in driving.
Meusel says that the grip is a
natural one with him.
Il have no special reason for hold
ing the bat in such a way. except
that I think it gives greater accu-
racy in meeting the ball." he says.
Some managers have wanted me
to change. and hold a bat like the
majority Of ball players do. claiming
that / would be able to hit the ball
harder if I gripped the bat with both
hands.
But 1 have noticed that a golfer
with practically the same hold, can
send a golf ball pretty far. so 1 can't
see where a change would benefit

When you come to know caddies
you will talk to them very little
about your game.
Unless you can play better than
they can. they regard you merely
with Contemptuous tolerance. And
unless you are Chick Evans or Jim
Barnes or somebody like that. you
can't play better than they can.
Above all things never ask them
how many strokes you took for
particular hole.
II they tell the truth you won't
believe them. II they lie for you

at the end Of the game. In default
Of this reward they will pull out a

vately and confute you just as you

In Scotland, I am told, caddies all

they dispense at a shilling a nip.
They are very efficient, but their
native thrift makes them extremely
disinclined 10 lose balls.
IF a ball goes into the rough the

CADDES-
By James J. Montague

A caddy IS a youth who carries
your golf clubs over the course and
has his own opinion of your game.
Sometimes he expresses il and
sometimes he doesn't. In either case
you are just as much abashed
After you have played 10 min
utes with the average caddy you
feel as If you had been playing the
piano with Paderewski TO turn the
leaves for you.
At the end Of the game. when he
takes your putter and drives a
green crab apple farther than you
can drive a golf ball with your pet
club. you feel more that way.
Caddies come from all places ex-
cept homes Apparently none Of
them have fathers, mothers. brothers
or sisters. Neither have they any
domestic feelings. or any feelings of
any kind for that matter
They are of assorted sizes. Re
Gently four Of us playing on Hud-
son river golf course had four cad
dies none Of whom was less than
six feet tall.
They called US all by our first
names. or by insulting nicknames
which they invented. After looking
at them we didn't do it.
Whenever Brown would address
the ball one of them would say:
There goes Bill into the rough
again." and another would add-''if
the dumbbell gets the ball off the
tea"
After they discovered that Brown
came from Ohio and chewed tobacco
they stopped calling him Bill and
referred to him as "Chewey."
"Chewey's two up on you Shorty"
! my caddies would say consolingly,
''but If you step out you'll get him
yet. I'm goin' to swat a tree with
a brassie every time he starts TO
drive after this"
When he was told that this sort
Of thing wasn't done very much on
a golf course he seemed grieved at
my ingratitude.
'I was just tryin' to help you into
couple O. dollars. you poor little
sap" he said dismally.

simple children OF nature TO the
worst player among us. you can't

Of them stiffs. We amt suppost 10
wait all day while they plays
mumblety-pe over the fairway."
We were rather relieved when that
game ended. We never saw those
caddies again, and never hope to see
them. Still they are interesting.
They were different.
Sometimes caddies are appealing
and pathetic.

White mountains said that somebody
