just off the green, remember agair
tn t it is absolutely necessary to keep
the body still. There will be no good
in reading this limo and then forget
ting it. 1t is not something that will
help. It is something that will either
make. or break the shot If YOU hav :
short chip shot TO play keep your
feet fairly close together not heel
against heel but a. least omfortably
close. After that see that the ball is
on line just off the left heel.
Having taken your stance, remember
again that the work Is now to be done
with the wrists and arms, that the
must keep its anchorage above the ball.
Rene mber, also. that while you are to
keep firm pressure, firm but not crush
ing, with the left hand, the right is
to take full control Of this chip shot

the right hand must bring the club
bead back and also carry it forward
for the final flick; also as if one were
without left hand, for the left hand
here is only steadying factor. 1t
takes no part in the swing or the hit
1t does no steering whatever. 1t
merely adds its share of frmness to
control OF the club.
Body Still for Short Pitch
Now remember that in the short
pitch from so to 80 yards the body
again must be kept still, as it needs no
body aid to get this distance. Don't
make the mistake on this shot of
swinging back too far and then easing
up. This is one Of the greatest faults
to be found in short pitch play. have
seen hundreds and hundreds of golfers,
even very good ones, swing back far
enough to get 1875 yards on a short
approach and then find it necessary to
case up or half-hit on the downward
punch. 1t is much better here to grip
the club near the bottom of the
leather. where one can hit firmly. For

Play Scoreless Tie
With Evander III. S.

In we'll played game containing
few msplays and interspcrscd with
good football, City College opened its
football campaign yesterday, when the
Lavender freshmen held Evandcr
Childs High School to scoreless tie
at Lewiston Stadium Both teams
were evenly matched and uncovered
good defense. neither side being able
to get the ball farther than its OPP
opponents tcn-yard line.
For the first three quarters the ball
shifted up and down the field. Then.
In the last quarter, both sides worked
desperately to chalk up score and
victory. The City College cubs uncov-
cred two corking forward passes in
this period, while the Evander quarter
back repeatedly sent Schmults, the big
lei, tackle. plunging through the line,
but with little success.
Oshinshy, Of the c. G. n. y. vcar.
lings. was the star Of the game, with
his fine tackling and puntine, while
Ross, his teammatc, displayed excel
lent defensive work. The line plunging
Of Schmults featured for Evander, thu
husky tackle proving a hard man to
stop.
Head Coach Mackenzie, of City Col
leegc, expressed himself 8 being highly
pleased with the showing Of his
football after its absence of fifteen
son at the local institution.

Keep the head as the anchor and the
body as the bulwark for all these
strokes. The left knee pivots in
slightly, but the weight is still firmly
fixed on both feet, with slight pres
sure on the inside of the left shoe If
you are inclined to slice or heel your
approaches, keep your weight just a
little more upon your heels In any
case this shot is never played with the
weight forward, and never make the
mistake of playing the ball so far
away that you have to lean forward &c
hit it. IF you do you are almost Ger
tain to hit in the heel and get the
worst shot in golf. This is another
common fault 1t can be best overcome
with the ball closer in and the weight
a trif1e on the heels.

points again, as I know their ;mpor-

and have seen so many who were
hurting their game by failure to OBJ

must be taken up slowly. They will
never all come at once. But thew must
all be followed in time if the dufrer is

World Series Records

When world series crowds begin to gather from far
places and the odtmers begin to talk of past Deeds
there always few records that stand out above
all others, records that the multitude at large may
have forgotten, but records that will last.
In opinion the greatest single world record
made belongs to Christy Mathewson from the series
of 1905
In that series Matty facing such noted Phila-
delpha swatsmen Socks" Seybold "Topsy Hartsel,
Danny Murphy, Ossie Shrek, Lave Cross etc.
Yet in the three games he allowed only fourteen
hits no runs and only one base on balls
One pass in his first three worlds series starts
is full proof Of Matys surprising GOODNESS and

five hits per game working every other day. His pitch

could imagine a being scored if the series had
