FOLLY WITH A PAST
HoIing Out

HoIing Out
 was talking with professional the other day who told me what re- cent round on his course with a slightly different attitude toward the first putt had yielded him. He cut his previous record by three strokes and he turned the round in ST. al though he was playing by himself and the card of course, does not stand. He went out on this round with the deliberate intention to try to hole out on his first putt regard less of whether he was on the green or just off the edge of it. It is 9 common custom with all players sim ply to make of the first putt good approach to the cup and think nearly all of Us go about the first cup with that attitude. If we lay up to within a couple of feet of the hole we call it good.
 This is a habit that l find it neces- sary to guard against constantly. IL his a very distinct error on the green and it is a persistent error with all of us. l find myself every now and then, even in tournament play, using my first putt as an approach to the pin instead of going right after the hole. often the putt can be put down on this first shot. | have put them down when l have had to. In my match with Sweetser in last years tournament at St. Louis. I ran down a putt of some 90 feet and that one shot won my match with Sweetser. Giving Ball Orders
 Thus 1 saw that shot spoke of my luck and the natural assumption is 'that such q putt, holed is really due more to luck than anything else l am willing to concede the point but l will say that when l stood away out on the edge of the green with this long putt before me and the realiza- tion that if 1 did not put it down l might go out of the matches, 1 said to myself: Here is where l sing a l long one. This ball is going right now" l gave the ball a good push and as it hoped on it's. way I spoke aloud, 1 think: Now get in there ! and stay there" And the strange part of it is that that ball had not rolled over six feet after it was hit before l sensed that it was going right into that hole and stay there. Easier Coming Back
 It is of great consequence in any golfers game always to play the first putt with a determination and a will to hole out in one. One of the advantages Of this style of play is that if the shot then fails to go in, | the player is nearly always hole high. And for some strange reason- 1 cannot explain it any more than you can't is always easier to hole a three-foot putt when you are com i ing back The only explanation 1 could ever offer for this is that the i player must be able to judge more accurately when beyond the flag. be- | ahla nGrhanS l. sciously, to see the previous mistake l in direction.
 Go right after the hole any time l you are within 80 feet of it. You would go after il at 15 feet and there ! is no material difference between 15 l feet and twice that distance.

Martin Grooming Himself
 For Tour of United States

it is likely that he now would be the man matched to meet the heavy weight champion. Bob had estab- lished a record by knocking out something like sS men in less than 100 fights-and then things went wrong temporarily,
 Hnd Eye Trouble
 'He had some trouble with his eyes. It wasn't remeded at once. He went into the fight with Fay Keiser in Baltimore, which was in the na- ture of an exhibition match for the benefit of soldiers. Bob didn't know how bad his eyes were until he got into the ring that night. Then the crowd quickly came to the same real ization as Bob that his vision was a million miles off. He was swinging everywhere but at Keiser and miss ing anywhere from one to three feet.
 After that affair. Bob went into temporary retirement while the best oeulists in the country worked on his eyes. They quickly found the fault. which was completely reme died some months ago. When his vision was working perfectly again, Bob. made preparations to get bacN into harness. And then he had an automobile accident which was very slight. but the newspaper boys eX- aggerated the seriousness of his con dition.
 Wasn't Seriously Hurt
 "He was bruised and scratched. but no bones were broken and no organs were affected and in a week there wasn't the slightest trace of any ac- cident
 since then Bob has been whipping himself into shape and is about ready noN< He is going out on that tour and at its conclusion. he will be II, d position where Dempsey must give him match-if Dempsey wishes tn fight the most formidable opponen; in the world. Bob has everythins that & great fighter needs--and he will demonstrate it on this trip and repeat against Dempsey.
 Bob is still young-only 257-and has been fighting only three years, I think he is ready this minute to give Dempsey beating. But know that within another year, he will be infinitely better than he f. now. So we can afford to tarry around little while longer until Bob has so established his greatness that there will be no earthly excuse for deprivins him of a crack at the heavyweight championship of the world"

 Bob Martin IS all set for tour of the United States, during which he will take on all corners.
 It is the first tour of it's kind which any heavyweight champion or aspirant has indulged in for a long time--and it will be staged in CO., operation with the various American Legion posts.
 Martins jaunt not merely will be for the purpose of enhancing his reputation. but it's prime motive Is To create funds which the American Legion will use to help the sick, the wounded and the down and out sol Gier boys.
 Each appearance of the interallied heavyweight champoin will be under the auspices of some legion post. It will invite any heavyweight aspir- ants in it's district to take on Mar tin. If more than one accepts, either an elimination tournament will be put on prior to the coming of Mar tion or a committee of sporting eX- lerts will decide which man is most entitled to crack at the soldier champion.
 If some towns boast of several heavyweights who figure they have a chance to stand up against Bop,
  is the best, Bob will take all of them on, declared Jimmy Bronson, mana ger of Martin.
 'Bobs trip Is expected to do quite some good in adding to the splendid reputation which he already has gathered. It also will create funds for the soldierss and in addition 10 that. it will give a fistic chance to a lot of youngsters who may be good and so far are among the unknowns. Our present plans call for Bob appearance Tn from 25 to 40 cities. IL will mean a lot of hard work for Bob, because he will be constantly travelling and fighting with consid- crable frequency. But the big fellow now has rounded into the best con- dition of his career and l imagine he can stand all the work that the trip will require.
 Bob is mighty anxious to get a crack at De empsey. If a series Of un- fortunate incidents hadn't happened,

That Russian Loan

We do not see to what Senator Borahs Investiga-
tioh Of the alleged misuse of funds by Ambassador
Bakhmeteff lead The Kerensky Ambassador"
is accused by the Idaho senator of sequestrating
sS7OOo.oOo of the loan of this government. This is
not the first heard of it. More than three years ago
large number of Russians in America charged that
the money which had advanced to the first revo-
lutonary government had been diverted from the
purpose for which had intended ito enable the
government to finance itself for the World war
The Hearst newspapers we recall made MUCH of the
incident
But for whatever purpose we had loaned the
money it longer ours, any than if it
had never been And after all considering the
brevty of the Kerensky regime it is better for the
world that neither the money nor the materials
which the money would have purchased, should have
been in Russia when the government of Lenin sue
eeeded
If Bakhmeten diverted it to his own use it was
only wasted far we were concerned. II it had
fallen into the hands of the soviet government,
would have been worse than wasted Still we cannot
regard Bakhmeeff as an incorruptible patriot but
seems to be an inexcusable waste of the valuable
time of the United States senate to undertake to
prove that Bakhmeteff is CRATER. Very often
curiosity is idle that it is not worth satisfying
