Of that round. One can then only pre-

the score begins to assume unWonted

L. II. Taylor suggests keeping both
arms closer to the body. Probably the
best curing combination is to keep
the weight Wei back on the heels and
to SWING the club mead back closer to
the ground, slowing down the back
swing.
These devices may help if tried out
in time. But only too often the
stricken being. after the ball has
sailed off at right angles to the in
tended line, is so badly harassed that
he forgets everything in mental
furry that cnvelops him with the

New-York tribune., 1922-04-23

When a golfer starts out to I'M
prove his game there is always one
thing he should consider FIRST. and that
IS the study and correction of his
greatest fault
HIS greatest weakness may be driv-
ing, iron play or IN the short game
on and around the green Of course, it
may be in all three departments, in
which case he should start to devnlop
his short game and build up from That.
You VIII find one set OF golfers who
are so hopeless and helpless off the
tee that they have no chance 20 set
started
After their first shot they are either
in bunker or out of bounds or in
some other trouble.
You will find another set who are at
least far from the tee but who are
helpless when it comes to an approach
shot on any type OF iron play. This
them in trouble that may cost from
one to three more strokes before thev
get up around the green.
There is stU! the third set who can
play fairly we'll up to within ten or
twenty yards of the green. but who
know nothing about the short approach
and still less about putting. where
three puts to the green is almost a
certain thing.
Short Game Stuff
A few weeks ago, in n certain tourna-
ment down South, l took my position
just of a certain green that called fol
drive and a fairly good iron.
stayed there most OF the morning
The field was composed of average
golfers, without any particular stars
Some one would get away with a good
average drive and then put his ap-
proach shot within fifteen or twenty
yards of the green.
He was now in position where q
we'll played chip shot and good putt
would still give him par d.
But this rarely happened. 1t was
almost pitiful to count the number OF
strokes wasted here.
One man would come along. give the
bail a nervous jan and barely reach
the edge of the green. Then he would
take three puts, getting down in s.
The next one would swing back toe
far and either 90 away over the greer
or dub the stroke, attempting to check
it on the down swing.
Around that green saw more shots
wasted than / would have believed
possible.
Main Faults
The first fault | discovered here was
the way most Of them failed to gel
the right line. They were either wa,
to the right Of the hole or way tC
the left. And some we're thirty fee
short and others were thirty feet over
In almost every case on these shor'
approaches their back swings wer.
too long and too fast
| saw hardly q man who first got
the right line and then came bncl
evenly and steadily the right distanc,
to hit the ball firmly with the righ
club.
| asked several il they had pcket
out any particular spot to pitch ia
allowing for the run. None had. The,
didn't know whether they were goin,
to chip the ball or play short, low

fuel problem, as cold storage " farm

problem, in the opinion Of Spokesman

This Is one of number of sug
sestlons to the United States Coal
Commission, made public here by
Ellis Searles, John Moore and Thomas
Kennedy, the Advisory Committee
representing the bitumnous miners 81
the United Mine Workers vt America
The suggestions are the outgrowth of
the committees conference with the
commission last Monday.
Suggestions will be offered later
on behalf of anthracite miners. whic..
together with suggestions from com.
mittees OF bituminouS and anthracite
operators. will give the commission -
basis for beginning it's inquiry into
the coal industry.
Storage Of an ample surplus of
food has solved the food problem"
says the committees statement, add
ing:
Fuel is second in importance Ne
a human necessity. Why non treat
the fuel problem as the food problem
has been treatedI The vast majority
of the consumers of coal are remote
from the mines, just as the majority
OF our population is remote from the
sources of fits food supplies. We be-
lieve the commission could under
take no other line Of inquiry that
holds greater possibilities for so
