SECRET or A GOOD DISPOSITION

A woman who carefully safeguards

She will be happy and attractive to

trial and found it to be of vast assist
ance. In the first place, like so many
others, we had often hit our approach
puts entirely too loosely, failing to
reach the cup. By the firm pressure of
the upper section of this right fore
finger around the shaft there came a
feeling of far greater firmness for
the stroke, without any greater tight
enlng of the grip. If one grips too
to swing back too hurriedly, and then
to jab at the ball. But with this pres
sure localized to one small spot, no
other tightening was needed Jerry
Iravers, another remarkable putter,
gets his sense of touch and control
from the tip of his right thumb. But
he also employs the right foretinger
to full advantage in gripping the club.
}. 5, Worthington puts with the right
forefinger down the shaft of the club,
getting the same touch and pressure
in slightly different way. He also,
is a very fine putter, depending on
the more localized touch rather than
on any feeling of power one might call
on from the full hand, which is not
nearly sensitive enough for this most
delicate of all golf strokes.
There is most certainly strong side
to this case of localized touch and
pressure which brings on a true put
ting stroke rather than a haphazard
jab. Jesse Guilford has it to keen
degree, but not quite so effectively as
Travis and Travers, the two we rank
above any other putters ever known.
There are many fine putters who be-
lieve that in the main putting is almost
entirely right-hand job, with the left
yielding only slight assistance. K l..
Ames, better known as Snake Ames,
one of the surest sof them all within
sight of the cup, merely uses his
left hand around the fingers of the
right, the left not touching the put
ters' shaft at any place. With him the
right does all the work, back and forth,
the left merely helping a trife to
steady the swing. Any golfer can re-
member with what ease he can step up
and hole 5 or foot putt with one
hand, where he is under mo strain.
1t is only when body movement and
the two-handed complications set in
through nervousness or rigidity that
he turns putting from q simple art into
d complicated nightmare.
The golfer who keeps his body still,
firm, and yet relaxed, who strokes
through the ball evenly, with the right
hand in control, the head always as
fixed as an anchor, will have no great
trouble in getting his share Of holable
puts or of laying his longer puts up
around the cup.

Bates Eleven Easy
For Ellis Who Open
With 488-O Victory

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 23.-Yale
was better than Bates College this
afternoon by seven touchdowns and
six goals from touchdowns, as the final
score stood 48 to 0. One of the larg-
est crowds on record for an opening
game was on hand to-day. 1t was esti-
mated that over 10000 spectators paid
admission despite the warm weather.
which must have bothered the Maine
contingent considerably.
Every one of the eleven Yale men
that Captain Jordan led on to the field
for the first kickoff played in either
the Princeton or Harvard team last
year. The Yale line outweghed Bates
man for man, with the opposing back
fields about the same weight. Both
teams seemed content to use straight
line plays, and the only open work was
a few passes and runs from kick forma-
ton, which the Ellis used late in the
game.
Kelly's 5O-yard broken field run
ming and a 40-yard pass from Neid-
linger to Eddy were the features of
the game. Rutsky, for the visitors,
displayed some nice defensive work in
| breaking up several Yale forward
passes. Bates was unable to earn n
single first down against the Blue line,
while the Yale backs slashed the
tackles for from three TO seven yards
whenever called on.
Numerous otf-side penalties on both
teams slowed the game up. Practically
every player on the Yale varsity squad
got into the fracas before the final
period. There were no injuries, but
Fellow, regular back on Bates, was
stricken with indigestion just before
the kickoff and was forced to retire.

Tales Of q Wayside Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE
Copyright. 1898. Ne,O York Tribune Inc.

The most Instructive rounds of put
ting that we ever have known came
this summer in the course of several
M catches with Walter J. Travis over the
famous Ekwanok course.
The green's at Ekwanok, smooth,
silky and keen, permit the true put
ting touch to keep its value and upon
such surfaces the art Of Mr. Travis is
at its best.
1t was remarkable to see the un-
canny accuracy with which he laid
so and 60 foot approach puts within
five or six inches of the cup and the
deadly sureness with which every
stroked ball moved along the right road
to the hole.
In the first place, it was refreshing
to see putting stroke, after looking
so long at a series of jabs and pokes
and direct hits. With him it was al
most caressing stroke, stroke where
the club head invariably came on
through the ball for various distances.
For example, we noted upon 4O-toot
approach putt that the follow through
was ut least twenty inches beyond the
ball. With a 6-foot putt over keen
green the club head follow through
was at least eight inches. This indi-
Gates the stroking effect of his put
ting style. Normally, with a 6-foot
putt on keen green, you will rarely
see the putting blade pass over an inch
or two beyond the resting place OF the
ball, for it is here that one is more
inclined to jab or poke. With this
follow through stroke which Travis
uses the ball never seems to jump
away in any big rush or hurry. 1t
would leave the club face evenly, and
then continue rolling on after you were
quite sure it would be we'll short.
The ex-British and American anna
teur champion, considered one Of the
greatest putters that ever lived, be-
lieves deeply in two important details
when it comes to manipulating the ball
into the hole.
"One very important factor he re
marked, ''is the correct employment
of pressure from the inside finger tip,
or rather first joint OF the forefinger
of the right hand | am a great be-
lever in right-hand putting control.
My right hand does practically all the
work. with the left merely a. steady
ing factor but the guiding pressure
of the right forefinger is quite impor--
tant. 1t is here one gets the sense OF
touch that is needed, the feeling of
control and of guidance along the right
line You will often see this right fore
finger loose from the club. And when
you see this you also generally see a
poor or an erratic putter."
We put this advice into play for
