(Copyrtght, 1Szz' ne
A baffled correspondent sends in
this questionnaire: (Which is the
harder club for the average golfer
to play-the brassie or the mashie?'
Neither is club in which the
average golfer Is highly proficient,
since they are among the hardest
OF all clubs to handle in any eff
Gent or effective fashion.
We are referring here to brassie
play through the fairway, and not
off the tee.
The brassie and the mashie, be-
ing used for such dissimilar service,
are hard to compare.
AS rule, the greater the loft on
the face Of a club, the harder 1t Is
to play. There is then greater room
for error, for with any decided loft
mistakes can be made in too many
ways, and direction is much hard
er to control.
GOOD BRASSIE PLAY.
Among the rank and file, the top
and average of the game, the bras
sic is one of the hardest clubs in
the bag.
Both at Skokie for the open and
at Brookline for the amateur we
saw very little good brassie play.
IHeFe was one IlOi6 at EohOhlSS Tie
long fifth, where the brassie fire.
quently came into play. Yet we saw
stroke after stroke by the finest
golfers there constantly in trouble
to the right or left of the course.
A brassie shot from a fairly close
lie carries difficulties that have
driven most Of the clan to the long
iron or the spoon, even at the
loss OF distance.
Among the amateurs Chick"
Evans and Bobbie Jones are two fine
brassie players and so Is Fred
Ouimet.
The average golfer, however, has
far more opportunity to use a bras.
sic. but unless the ball is sitting well
on top of the turf he has his trouble
manipulating this weapon for attack.
MASHIE TROUBLES.
There is the double tendency to hit
too hard and to lift the hands too
soon. In most cases the spoon will
do about as well, and the spoon is a
much simpler club to play. Where it
is impossible to get home with any
club, Sounder judgment should call
for spoon as 1t is harder to play a
60-yard approach than 1t is to play
a 40-yard affair.

times to the brassie's once. But
there is this dIfference--the mashie
must be used at various distances
whereas the brassie is practically al.
ways full shot, with no restrictions
to watch.
But the mashie will be used from
~ to 145 yards, and 1T is this feeling
or distance control that causes "a
much Of the trouble.
One isn't quite sure whether he
is going too far or isn't going quite
TAR enough, and so with this element
or uncertainty 1t is always harder to
nit sure, decisive blow.
The mashie," says Jim Barnes,
hates a gutter. And there is prob.
ably no other club where one quits
quite as consistently on the job.
Inere isn't much quitting on full
strokes, for the entire mental urge
here is to soak the ball.
But If there is a deep trap or
trouble back OF the green some
where through the stroke there
comes the thought that possibly
this one is going too far, and the
swing is partially checked.
or If there is ditch or a trap
in front OF the green one Is rather
/
be sure to clear this hazard, real
lie he is swinging too far and then
quit on the down stroke.
So the mashie carries mental
| hazards which do not belong to the
brassie, which do not belong to the
same extent to any other club IN
the bag.
There is more good mashie play
than there is good brassie play
since there is much more occasion
to use the mashie. Tt may look no
better, for a slight mashie mistake
may lead one to trouble, where the
brassie has much greater leeway.
The mashie is supposed to be play
ed for the pin and the brassie mere.
ly to hold the fairway or some
spot around the green. It isn't a
bad idea to have a fair loft upon a
brassie and to see that the mashie
isn't laid back too much. Many
golfers get around this by using a
Jigger or a nnashie iron for full
mashie distance. It is a mistake for
the average golfer to try a brassie
from a cuppy lie or one too close;
and 1t is also mistake to use q
mashie for too much distance, o
mistake both good and bad golfers
frequently make.

Back in 1914 the first interna.

the Penn team in a memorable four
mile race, in which McCurdy and
Jackson raced to the tape neck and

GIRLS ARE SENSATION.
The sudden leap forward Of Miss
Ederle and Miss Wainwright was
the years most surprising devel-
opment. They were rated far below
Miss Ethelda Bliebtrey and Miss
Charlotte Boyle, worlds tOpnotchers
Iii 1921, when the season opened.
But Miss Wainwright first. then
Miss Ederle sprang into fame yir-
tually overnight. and before they
were through they had smashed to
PIECES nearly all the best marks OF
their predecessors.
Miss wainwright hung up new
standards from SO yards to one
mile, and her finest feats217
yards in 2:41 is and one mile in
26:44 4-5-stand among the most
remarkable In history. Yet after
Miss Ederle reached top form in

ming the international 355 mile swim
in New York Bay and lowering
worlds records by unbelievable
margins.
Her most sensational achieve
ment was 50O.meter swim in
local 75-foot pool in which she
created six new international marks.
It Is indicative Of the WONDERFUL
speed she displayed that on the
way to the full distance she passed
40 yards in. 5:54 3-5, slicing the
huge chunk of % seconds from the
former worlds standard.
SIBYL BAUER rs WONDER.
Miss Bauer slashed forcibly every
record for women at the back stroke
and set among others such sterling
figures as 1:16 for 100 yards, S:01
4-5 for 22O, and 6:24 AS for 44O
yards.
The most brilliant event of the
twelve-month was the women's SA-
mile marathon in the ocean. F1fty.

pleted in splendid condition the

Tom Blake, of the Los Angeles A.

for in the annual Chicago river
marathon Howell led home by 800
yards the great Norman Ross,
holder Of worlds records from $50
yards upward.
All-around team laurels for men
were captured by the Illinois A. G.
and for mermaids by the Women's
A. G. The local organization ac-
complished the remarkable feat of
scoring 125 points in the women's
national championships, as against
