winners at Oriental Park this after
noon. M. Goldblatt, whose horses ap-
pear in particularly good shape just
now, added another purse to his credit
when the two-year-old Tomahoi won
the opening event. Tomahoi was an
even money favorite and outclassed the
field, winning in runaway fashion.

was heavily played and was short

Suggestion for Short Tracks

Discussing the shortcomings Of rae
ing classification, II. J. Kline, for many
years active in racetrack management
and turf journalism, takes first money
with good one. Like everybody else
who pays attention to things as they
are, Kline knows that the time posted
on the run of half-mile tracks is a
joke, in spite of the rule against sup
preston. Kline says: "But what's a
rule among friends-the secretary who
wants entries and the owner or trainer
who has them to give 2"
Kline suggests more blank pages in
the tn rule books and that the job of
classifying horses be put up to the
secretaries, who naturally will try and
make the greatest number of contests.
This might work out, but basis to
help it along would be classification
on the amount of money won, which
would put the horses about where they
belong.
Vic Fleming is having breathing
spell between race seasons. On the
Grand Circuit and half-mile tracks hi
won thirtysix races this year, and a
month hence he will be back in the
game at Toronto, where the ice race
circuit starts. Fleming has developed
into very capable trainer and race
driver, and probably will pull off few
OF his annual stunts on the frozer
ovals

Is
Grand Circuit
Trotting Star
Amateur Driven Mare Had
Great Record for Three
Years of Competition
By rank S. Cooke

Among trotters whose activities have
been confined to the Grand Circuit, the
blue ribbon of excellence should be at
tached to the harness OF Periscope, for
this mare has done more in three years
than any of her rivals. Not only is
her record of 2:O21a one Of the very
fast ones, but she had been trained and
driven by an amateur.
j. L. Dodge, who started out from
Middletown, N. T., some years ago and
raced few horses Of his own, grad,
ually outgrew the half-mile tracks and
took a plunge. into the raging grand
There his success has outstripped that
of any amateur who ever matched wits
with the pick Of the professionals. He
has put over many good trotters, put
Periscope is the badge of his supreme
achievement.
Mr.. Dodge bought Periscope when q
baby and started her as two-year-
old in 1918, winning at North Randall
Poughkeepsie, Readville and Syracuse
and being second in the junior divl-
sion of the Kentucky Futurity, won that
year by Princess Etawah, for which
trotter Murphy recently paid prlncely
sum.
Periscope was best among the three
ycar-olds that raced in 1919, winning
all of the principal. futurities, includ.
ing the Champion Stallion and Matron
stakes, the Review, Horseman and Ken
tucky. In the last named she survived
the particularly hard battle with Brush
loft.
Given One Years Rest
Having had six hard races in her
wo-year-old form and a strenuous
+hn r
Dodge laid Periscope away in 1920
which some folk regarded as token
that she was through. Far from it,
however, for when Mr.. Dodge picked
her up last winter he found that the
rest had done her much good. She
came along all right, but did not please
the Lexington railbirds at that, as
they did not consider her just where
she ought to be when she left the
blue grass for the opening at North
Randall.
She started off by winning at North
Randall, Toledo and Columbus. In all
Of these events she had to go fast, and
with the $4,000 free -for-all in view
at at the second North Randall meeting
Mr.. Dodge gave her a weeks vacation
The result was that she gathered in
the biggest stake of the year.
Followed victory at Readville, then
her first defeat of the season at Hart
ford, where Grayworthy had to lower
the record of the Charter Oak Stake to
beat her in 2:021h. Victories at SYRIA
cuse and Columbus came in the order
and at Lexington it again developed
that Grayworthy had something on her
as he won both races in which she
started. Seven victories and three Sec
onds mark her 1921 campaign, bringing
her total of money won to $4,000, q
mark reached by few, if any, five-year-
olds.

him to let the swing pull his body

Correcting Topping
had still another pupil who said
he hadn't got ball off the ground
for something like a month.
This was especially true Of his iron
play. So looked him over. found,
in the first place, that he also was
standing too far and was lifting the
club with his right hand. But his
greatest fault was trying to lift the
ball up with his irons, rather than hit
on through and let the loft of the club
handle that job for him.
At every effort you could see his two
wrists suddenly pulling the club head
up as 1t got to the ball. Naturally,
with the club. head coming up, he was
catching the ball above the center and
spinning it along the ground.

the bail in comfortable way he had
a habit of Strengthening up just before
starting the swing, which had to throw
him out of line.
The first thing to do here was to
make him keep his hands down all
through the swing until they were
lifted by the finish Of the follow
through. Get the idea out of your head
that your hands mua do the lifting. Hit
through with the idea of scraping turf
just under the ball and let the club
head keep on its way along the ground.
When you are topping ball it isn't
bad idea to turn out the toe Of the
club just trifle, asyou may be smoth-
ering the ball with the face turned in
too far.
1t is a good idea 70 keep firm left
wrist that holds theclub in its proper
place as the right Hts through. This
will prevent in a great measure the
club head coming uptoo soon.
These are ell simple remedies for
slicing and topping if one will only
put them into practice with little
thought, in place Of merely practicing
without any definitei idea in mind.
If the body is allowed to turn natu-
rally with the head held as an anchor,
and if the back swing is made with the
left hand and arm in control, inside the
ball, about four-ffths Of the most COM
mon faults could be cured in short
order.

Hephaistos Scores Fourth
Straight Victory in Taking
Dixie Purse From Modo

BOWIE, Nd. Nov. 26.--J. W. Beans
Rubidium, a despised outsider, won the
Bowie Claiming Stakes, the feature of
the closing Of the Eastern racing sea-
son. here this afternoon. Rubidium
forced the pace from the start and
drew away from Lady Emmeline to
win by length and half at the finish.
Dresden was third. The purse was
worth only $l,865 to the winner. but the
supporters Of the four-year-old mare
got as good as 8 to for their money.
Nine fairly good horses went to the
choice Of the public. This one, which
has been running some good races in
better company, was out for an exer-
else this afternoon, much to the chagrin
OF the form players. Jockey Schwartz
had the leg up and he let the favorite
lag along until it was too late to get up
front.
Lady Emmeline, also neglected in the
betting, was very much the best Of the
rest, although Dresden came with
rush toward the end. The muddy track
and light rain again marred the rae
ing, the crowd being small and scratches
numerous.
Slippery Elm Wins

ran . nice race in winning the Au
Revoir Handicap at mile and seventy
yards for three-year-olds. This good
platter, which has made a fine record
at the local track, slipped through on
the inside, went wide and won easily
with Sandy Beal second and Halu third.
Commander Ross's Oriole, which has
disappointed in its last few races, ran
true to form and finished fourth
F. P. Browns Hephaistos scored it's
fourth straight victory in winning the
Dixie purse. The two-year-old son of
Vulcan raced Modo into submission and
drew away to win galloping. Wessie
B. closed fast on the inside and beat
Maryland Belle for third place.
Upsets started with the card, Dick
Deadeye taking the opener at fine
price. Twelve two-year-olds faced the
barrier in this race, with Citation and
Meuse almost even favorites. Citation
finished fourth and Meuse wound up
in the ruck. The winner was slow to

replied, "but one of them is slicing.

/ made him swing at few balls
while | watched him closely before
saying anything. He was true to his
promise. He had one Of the most per-
feet slices I have ever seen, every
form of it from the slow, drifting slice
to the sharp break at the end.
Slicing Troubles
noticed in the first place that he
was standing too far away from the
ball--so far away that he had to fall
forward as he struck. This is the fin
est way in the world to hit a ball up
in the heel of the club and develop a
perfect slice. / noticed after this that
in taking his club back he lifted the
head on the outside of the ball, in place
Of swinging back inside the ball with
his left hand in control.
This is another sure way Of getting
first-class slice.
In the third place saw that he was
aiming for the left of the course, in
knew was sure to come. This always
means that you will pull across the
ball.
He had still another fault. On the
downward swing he was starting his
body in ahead of the hands and keeping
the hands all through the swing in
'front.' of the club head.
Here were four sure ways to bring
on a slice, all in one swing. The won
der is that the ball didn't finish up
back of him.
Correcting Faults
To correct these faults 1 first made
him stand about six inches closer to
the ball, with his feet almost upon an
even line, the left toe only an inch or
so back of the right.
| then made him start his back
swing with the left hand and left arm
in control, starting the club head back
inside the ball and along the ground,
rather than the sudden upward lift he
had been using.
He had been gripping quite tightly
with his right. l got him to ease up
with the right hand and to keep the
left arm fairly straight, but not stiff
or rigid.
These were the two most important
corrections to take up. He was now
swinging at the ball from the inside,
where he could let the club head go
on through in the direction of the
green, in place Of pulling it across
from right to left.

one Of the most consistent putters in
the game.
Yet it was uncertainty upon the
greens that helpd to bring Ouimet
defeat in his last two championship
matches against Evans and Johnston.
Against the st. Paul star Ouimet took
three puts on the last four greens to
be beaten by Jingle hole.
Among the Pros.
Among the pros Jim Barnes and
Walter Hagen are two Of the best.
Both ordinarily know how to keep
their bodies imnovably firm as they
hit the ball with firmness and conf
dence.
Barnes, with his weight on his left
foot, braces himself with his right
foot we'll to the rear, going for the
hole with firm rap that is in no sense
a pendulum swing. AS he puts it, "it
is more of a jab or stab, with short
follow through"
Hagen goes after his putt in much
the same way. His weight is upon thu
left foot, with his body under full con
troll.
Freddy Mcleod and Alex Smith ar
two other fine putters and Tomm'
Mcnamara is another. These three hav
the art of using their hands and wrist
in the proper way without bending il
knee or showing in with the body.
The pros upon the average are no,
much better around the green's thai
most of the amateurs. They hit the bal
better and are not so inclined to hurr
the stroke. They understand the bi
advantage in keeping q firm, set bod
that doesn't get into the play ahea
of the hands, and they know mucl
more about the correct distribution
Of weight and balance.
In the meanwhile. if some Of the com
ing young amateurs would only Civ
