81 read one OF your articles some
time ago. a certain golfer wrote me
recently, sin which you referred to
the mental side of the game. What
would like to ask is this-How can
any one think about the right thing
to do? know a number of things
ought to do. but in the excitement of
playing usually forget them, or get
them mixed up. And If try to think
too hard 1 break up my concentration
on the actual hitting of the Shot y
they ought to do, If they could only
remember it.
And I believe one trouble here is
that most of them try to remember
too many things.
An Example.
Here is an example of thinking
about the main thing. For a long
who haO been scoring so well lately,
had trouble in keeping his right ell
bow close to his body.
He knew this was his main weak
ness, that IL he could overcome 1t he
could take off many strokes.
Now, Walker had very little chance
for practice But he made up his
mind to think about this one thing,
If nothing else, every time he started
a round.
at 4AISL ne 4OESOL dDOuL II once OT
twice in the excitement of a match,
but it soon became habit. AS he
stepped upon the first tee he would
say to himself keep the right elbow
in-''
Thru this system he began to de-
velop Improvement in this particular
respect. and, once mastered, it made
all the difference in the world.
He was no longer guessing shout
his approach-with that right elbow
in close he had the club under almost
perfect control. walker would never
have made this great Improvement II
he had not made a definite point of
thinking about that elbow.
at the Right Place.
There are golfers, for example, who
are constantly short on their approach
up to the cup or beyond. But in the
meanwhile they never think about it
until they are short again. The
chances are that in the meanwhile
they have tried to think about six or
eight other things, only to think of
nothing at the right time.
The main thing in golf Is to think
of the right thing at the right time in
the right place.
On the back swing the golfer too
often tries to think about looking at
the ball, in place of thinking about the
back swing-to be sire that it is
started evenly and steadily, to be sure
that the club head starts on a circle

prescription blanks for prescribing in

certain parts of the country was sent
today to all federal prohibition direc-
tors by Commissioner Haynes.
They may be detected easily, Mr.
Haynes said, explaining that the gem

spurious blanks are printed and the
green ink is lighter than on the gem
uine form.
, Druggists holding permits, he said,
are strictly accountable for the au-
thenticity of the form upon which
prescriptions for liquor are written
when filled by them, ana the filling
of any considerable number of pre-
scriptions on counterfeit forms may
be regarded as grounds for the revo-
cation of permits

THE DOPE BOX

Kids day will be Wednesday, July
10, instead of Tuesday. This gives
the promoters another day in which to
sell tickets, besides the kids should
have little time in which to get over
the effects of the circus Monday.
Every dollar contributed will send
five kids to the ball game on that
day. The Chamber OF Commerce is
today mailing blocks OF tickets to each
member with the Mequest that they
be disposed of at once. The various
civic c1Mbs are also cooperating in
the plan.
: Several merchants may be induced
to buy several hundred tickets and
give them to kids calling at their
stores. Members OF the Chamber of
Commerce and other business men to
whom tickets are being sent are asked
to send at least five kids to the game.
A big parade will be held before the
game. 1t will form on West Third
street and once the kids are in line
will proceed south on Kansas avenue.
1t will be led by the band from the
Boys state Industrial school. which
will also play at the park. w. z.
Webb has been appointed marshal of
the parade.
If the plan proves as successful as
those in charge believe, it will result

THREE INJURED II MEN
Bandits Board Train Near Scott City,
Robbing Harvest Hands.


Ness City, Kan, July ia west
bound Missouri Pacific freight train
between Scott City and Healy last
night carrying between seventy and
eighty harvest hands, was boarded at
Shields by three masked bandits who
robbed about fifty harvest hands on
flat car. Each took one epd of
the car and the third man proceeded
to go thru the pockets of the har-
Vesters. ~ i4tu.5-1
If the men did not have any money
that the robbers could find they would
beat them up and it is reported that
they made several of the harvesters
jump from the freight train which
was running about thirty miles an
hour. Seventeen of the injured har-
vesters left the train at Scott City
and received medical attention. It is
estimated that the hfghjackers OBJ
tanned 5000. No arrests have been
One. of the injured men said that

inside the ball and is not lifted OUT
Or itymaybe that on the down swing
he is trying to think how hard to
hit, or just what the right direction
is. when he should be thinking of the
ball-thinking on thru his stroke.
There are certain physical things
that must happen to the right swing,
and they must happen in order. But
there are also certain mental things
that must take place, and they also
must happen in order.
Think OF the right thing at the
right time is one of the most i'm
portant slogans in the game. For ex-
ample, when you get up to the ball
you should decide definitely just what
line you want to take and just how
hard you must strike. Think that out
and then stand pat on it.
Don't make the mistake Of thinking
about it again thru the swing.
Another good point to think of at
the start of the back swing is not to
rush the stroke. Let it go back even
ly, the left hand and arm in control
and then think on thru the stroke.
Don't quit on it, or shift your atten-
ton to something else. There is no
use to suggest that you try to concen-
trate. The chances are you are con-
too many things. You can press mem
tally as well as physically-in fact,
the first leads to the latter mistake.
The minds of too many golfers are
muddled by trying to think of too
many things, in place of thinking
about the important things.
If you have been playing your APP
proaches too short, make up your
mind definitely as you get to the ball
to give this next one in a chance-in
advance of the strok--not after you
have been short again. When you
are on the putting green, do your
thinking before you hit the ball.
Pick your line and decide how hard
you intend to HIT and then only think
about hitting that baIl-and think on
thru. The reason most puts are hit
badly is that the average golfer is
still trying to decide what line he
must take, and how hard he must hit
AFTER HE HAS STARTED his putt
ter in motion. That mistake is being
made all the time. and it has cost
enough missed puts TO fill eight or
ten boxcars.
The golfer who can't learn to think
of the right thing at the right time
will never improve. His grip may be
correct and his stance may be correct,
but If his mental side isn't co-ordinat-
ing with his physical it is. all going
to waste. And it isn't hard thing to
do If one will Ynly use a little system
about it and make a habit of doing
his thinking in advance, not during
the course of the swing.

this afternoon, while Pierce and
Mitchell will do the hurting tomorrow.
Mitchell made a fine showing against
