putting. When the average golfer is
forty or fifty feet away from the cup
he has little confidence in his ability
to get close. He is generally we'll
time he, is likely to be ten feet over.
This lack of confidence doesn't give
him a chance to hit the ball with any
decision. I know several golfers who
have improved their approach putting
immensely in this way.
Even from thirty and forty feet
away they have made a habit Of going
direct for the cup, making deter
mined effort to hole the ball. In other
words they have done away with their
old systems of just playing it safe.
They have a definite target to shoot
at, Just as If they were trying a putt
of ten or twelve feet. This definite
target helps to improve their aim and
merely guessing, hitting the putt in
some general direction while praying
for q little luck.
Fear is a killing thing in any game.
And it can grow into a habit, Fear
of not getting these long approach
puts close brings the head up. takes
away firmness from the wrist and
is much easier to start out going by
the cup and then reducing the power
bit. Make this approach putt
definite Notwithstanding for The
hole itself or for an imaginary cup
two feet in diameter, But decide
first definitely what your line is and
how hard you intend to hit the ball.
Then make a habit of carrying this
decision on thru.
The Shorter Putt
Alex Smith has q slogan for short
puts which isn't SO bad-"Miss EN-
quick The idea is to go for the cup
before you've had time to get too ner-
vous.
The main thing to rena6mber on
these short puts is to keep the body
absolutely still and not co hurry the
blade back too fast. If You find you
are missing puts of three and four
feet it isn't a bad idea to try gripping
the putter a little more gently After
you have missed one or twoAyou are
likely to start gripping tighter and
tighter, and to hurry the back swing.
If you ease up on your grip you are
not so inclined to make those quick.
nervous jabs- A firm body with a
light touch on the putter generally
brings about successful putting.

threw beautifully, hit well, showed
much speed on the bases and
handled ks pitcher cleverly.
One game made De Vormer. That
evening any worries that Higgins
possibly had as to his catching de-
partment was over. The Yankee
leader felt that If Dc Vormer could
continue tnat standard of play, his
club would in ne way be weakened
by The los of Schalg and Hoffman.
That is just what De Vormer did
during the rest of the season. In

AMBOY OUTFIT
At LONG BRANCH
Will Play NorWoods, Junior
Mechanics and MicheIinS
This Week

Elated over. their unexpected vic
tory over the Danbury Separates
which was registered on the Audi
forum court Saturday night. the
Perth Amboy Speedway basketball
players are preparing for another
invasion of Long Branch where they
will play the Norwoods of that place
in the third game of a series to-
morrow night. The Speedways hold
two victories over Manager Stanley
Van Dykes combination, one on the
local court and one on, of the Long
Branch court, the latter by a one
point margin.
Captain Charley Brownmiller of
the Speedways asserts that the re-
suit of the big contest last Saturday
night was entirely due to the fact
that the Speedways estimated their
opposition at full value, while the
Danbury team underestimate the
strength of the local representatives.
The Speedway captain asserts that
although the Separates are the bet
ter team in every department of
play, the locals without two of their
regulars, played better ball than in
the previous t~wenty-seven games on
the schedule.
Manager Van Dykes warriors
representing Long Branch will en-
deavor to take this game from the
Speedways. The Norwoods are ex-
pected to line up with Dineen, q
New York state player; Grody, Raj
ferty, Heiles and Reisner.
The Speedways will use Sutton,
Brownmiller, Bradley, Handerhan,
and a player whose name has not
been given out. On Thursday night
the Speedways will travel to South
Amboy to take the second game of a
series from that team, and on Sat
urday night the Michelins will play
here.

the next athletic event of importance
to take place in Perth Amboy will
be the basketball game between the
cops of the city and the legal talent.

spective merits of the two teams has
resulted in a challenge and it is
probable that the game will be play

includes John Toolan, Dave WilentZ,
John Delaney, Joseph Deegan, and

Opportunity knocks at ones door
in many different ways.
Often a valuable player remains
in the background for years simply
because opportunity overlooks him.
When the New York Americans
started the 1921 campaign it was
generally agreed by the experts that
Schang would be called upon to do
most of the catching.
Hoffman, who had been With the
club for several years, was regarded
as second choice.
AL De Vormer. secured from the
Vernon club of the Pacific Coast
League, was rated third in the catch
ing l:neup, The Yankees signed him
merely on trial. De Vormer looked
to have great promise, but his lack
of experience was his worst handi-
cap.
The dope worked out very much
as the experts figured it. Schang,
a glutton for work, was Manager
Higgins daily selection. Hoffman
would occasionally get a chance to
substitute for a couple of innings.
With DE Vormer it was simply a
case of a seat on the bench or warm
up some relief pitcher. Up until
