GOLFERS ANXIOUS TO
KEEP BELOW NINETY
Overwhelmingly Large Number
Battle Curse of Dufferdom.
Short Hitters Are Usually in the 90
Class, Says Jim Barnes, Open
CHAMPIONSHIPS Too Hard
for More Distance.

Why is it that SO many golfers
are never able to keep below the 90s?
The CONAN in golf is probably the
most numerous in the sport. After
year or so Of play your average
golfer finds himself cutting through
the 100 level and dipping into the 9O's
with pleasing regularity. If it were
possible for him to improve his game
to the extent that he now shoots in
the 90's, whereas he used to shoot in
the 120s why, you ask, and so does
he, no doubt, can't he get into the
SOS or even the 70's?
OF course, some of them do. A great
many, in fact. But the number that
remain struggling in the COS with the
curse Of duhterdom eternally soaring
their soul is overwhelmingly big.
Short hitters are usually in the 90
class, says Jim Barnes, the open
champion
"A hole around 800 or 400 yards is
par five for the short hitter" says
the champion "They can't get on with
two shots and if they make a mistake
this usually means a six. There is

STEALING sieNALs

Getting wise TO another clubs
signals often is tne result of an
accident. For instance. the New
York Giants had a system Of sig
h9Is that depended on figures on
the score board. We viii say
+ that if certain score-board fig.
ures were even. then a finger
sign meant to do this or that. II
the figures on the score board
were odd. then the finger sign
might mean just the contrary. It
an depended John McGraw
watched the score board and
wiggled his fingers accordingly.
In a certain game between the
Giants and Braves, Fred Mitchell
was coaching on the lines. a Ger
tain play was signaled for by
McGraw and Fred Toney balled
it up. Two New York players
met within MitchelI's hearing at
third base and one said TO the
other:
"Toney spilled the beans be-
cause he can't read the score
board; he'll. he don't know odd
from even"
And so. figured Mr.. Mitchell,
that's the system. We shall
work this out. If the figures are
odd its so and SO and if even so
and so.
And the rest, basing calcula-
tions on plays attempted or
made, was easy.
