Yet, in spite of these statements,
it is surely not true that the man
who has gone slowly and painstak-
ingly up the long hill that leads to
good golf playing should lose all his
labor if obliged to forego his game
for a. few short months, or even
days, if the most, querulous can be
believed.
In my opinion. the only lost
time in the practice of golf is
when the strokes are made in q
slipshod manner, and even that
time is not wholly lost. for the
players health is benefited by the
fresh air and exercise.
Golf is the most difficult game
in the world, judging point of skin
by point of skill. It requires long
and careful practice to build UP a
game, and, like any other strong
building, ones golf game needs a
solid foundation, and believe that
solid golf foundation will last
practically a lifetime. Once well
grounded in the game, no golfer
need worry about his future pleas
ure.
But, of course, this is not what
the expert means when he COM
plains about his lack of practice.
Golf at its best is the result OF. eX-
traordinary coordination - every
thing must work together for the
perfect game.
When. one stops playing for q
time his. very clubs seem strange
when he takes them up again.
and even the outdoor light is con-
fhsing. He swings too hard, or
not hard enough, or does this or
that much short of perfection.
In other words, he lacks finish,
end this finish is the result. of pEac-
tice; it is this that sends you
straight down the course and gives
twenty yards difference on your
second shot.
Every one who has seen first
class game has. noticed the ma
chine.like character of the play, and
this mathematical precision Of stroke
is only reached by unremitting
practice. No golfer of champion
ship skill would enter a champion
ship tournament without a great
deal of preliminary practice.
Thus It can be seen that it is
the finish that wears off and
needs constant looking after, but
with good foundation the out.
Of-praetice player can easily get
going again.
John Ball won the British anna.
teur championship eight times, and
his last success took place after
his fiftieth birthday. No. golfers
do not forget their game, but they
do lose, when out of practice, that
fine finish which is the friend of
consistency; they forget, perhaps,
a few tiny golden rules and small
faults creep in; but the essential
features are not forgotten.
1t requires little time in the
spring for our northern players to
round out their games, but when
that Is done it compares faVorably
with the games Of those who went
south and played the winter
through. Time spent on golf
course is not wasted. 1t is a sen
sible preparation for a lifetime of
pleasant enjoyment.

They believe Willard will burn
out in few rounds just, as sJeffries
did against Jack johnson. The
writer disagrees with this theory,
not because Willard is a better
man than Jeffries but because his
return to the ring will be made
under more favorable auspices.
In the first place, Jeffries was
sent against one of the best heavy
weights Of all time, while in Floyd
Johnson, Willard meets "a mere sec
ond rater. ..-.@....-
In the second place Wizards
style is much more conservative
than was that Of Jeffries and the
question Of cOllapsing from his
own exertiOns is virtually no ques-
ton at all because Willard is not
. the man to exert himself. He
stands on his flat feet and makes
his opponent come to him. Other
wise there is no fight.
For this reason, and others, Will
lard should be the winner over
Floyd Johnson at the end Of fiji
teen rounds. One OF the other
reasons Is that Johnson seems 10
be made to measure for the ex.
champion. He cannot hit hard
enough to hurt a man of Willard
proportions and his usual rushing
style must be discarded If he
wishes to avoid being made a mark
for Willard counters. b.,
