When you are confronted by diff
cult hazards, visualize the play as II
must be made. Then forget the haz-
ards and play the ball as you would
if you had an unobstructed lie in the
fairway. You'll have more successes
than you'd think.
At Prestwick, in an exhibition
match with Andrew Kirkcaddy, l had
another play which did not require
extraordinary skill, but did call fo
confidence. My ball lay behind a five
foot wall, about three feet from its
base and fifty yards from the green.
The danger of this play was that the
ball might hit the wall and rebound,

The bat, is not any old stick of
wood-though any old piece of
wood was probably used as bat
when you were boy and hadn't
saved enough for the regular
thing. The bat is really treas
ured implement, seasoned as
violin maker seasons his wood
for rare vio!ins or a good pipe
maker his briar root. In 1888 one :
big sporting goods maker adver-
tised for 100000 old wagon
tongues of ash, to make into
bats-seasoned wood. Tin lizzies
ave no good for that. With the
finished bat one can do all sorts
OF things-from slugging to
bunting. But pitching has out
stripped batting; and nowadays
home run sets the fans wild,
whereas in 1887, in game be-
tween Washington and Boston,
there were seventeen home runs
in one afternoon.
The slugger used to drive, swing
hercely; he put all there was in
his physical build behind the bat.
A man like Delahanty used to
"shiver the timber" Anson
could do it also, though he also
knew how just to touch the ball
lightly.
In the beginning of the game
bats could be made OF any size or
weight There were no reStric-
tions. But in 1868 the rules read:
"Bat must be of any kind OF
wood, and round, and not to ex-
ceed two and one-half inches in
the thickest part; no restrictions
as to length"
In 1876 the length was limited
to forty-two inches. In 1885 it
was allowed that a part of the
surface of the bat could be fiat
on one side. In 1895 the bats
diameter was set at two and

JAMES BRAID TELLS:
My Most Accurate Mashie Shot.

BELIEF in yourself Is a prime es-
sentfsi to succe2s at golf.
Lack of confie>n>e retards the man
who may have every natural ability.
OF course, a man must acquire skill
to fortify his confidence.
But, putting aside the case of the
man who is born and bred TO the
game, the sort who becomes a pro-
fessional, or a high-class amateur,
there is no doubt that the player who
feels "in his bones" that he can make
good makes better progress than the
one who fears his own ability.

man of the former type develop a
