The swing should reach its maxi

contact with the ball, but many IA
player spoils his brassy shots in his
effort to get too much power into
them. He should allow the club
to do more of the work for which it
is designed. If, however, the ball
is cupped the problem is not 50
simple.
TINS kind Of a shot is especially
hard for a player who uses too
high a tee. The brassy shot, of
course, usually follows shot from
the tee and the difference in height
from ball teed too high and a
cupped ball makes the brassy q diff
ficult club for many a player.
In playing cupped ball the
club should come to the ground q
half an inch or an inch behind
the ball. This point should be
deliberately aimed at. Then, when
the club head comes down on thai
point it will push along the turf
and be under the ball when they
come in contact so THAT an album
dance Of loft will be secured.
/ have seen many. players make
Door work of a cupped ball because
they show a tendency to try to
scoop the ball out of the cup. aIlt.
the usual result is to smother the
club head in the ground, getting
little or no distance. 1t seems to
take some players long time to
realize that this effort to dig the
ball out doesn't pay. In fact, It
almost invariably fails.
believe this tendency goes back
very largely to the question of de-
veloping a golfing temperament
again. A beginner in his effort TO
make low scores refuses to admit
the impossibiIity of some shots and
fIoolishly attempts the impossible.
Beginners will do we'll not to at
tempt to tamper with the under
lying principles of golf.
In my own bag carry a spoon
and regard it as a valuable Grub.
The object of the spoon, of course,
is for shots which are a little too
short for a brassy and bit toU
long for an iron Play with the
spoon 1 is practically the same as
with the brassy, excepting that the
club being shorter you must stand
somewhat nearer the ball The up
ward and downward swing, the fol-
low though, are the same as the
brassy. It is a good club for $50
to $50 yards.

of Marietta and Cincinnati fame.

natural that should hear of Neale.
the younger, through aim. About
four years ago, Pat wrote me say
ing that man on his baseball team
had a younger brother attending
Washington and Jefferson, whose
ambition was to go to Yale.
Later on a trip West, met
Moran and he told me that Neale
was in New Haven. When looked
him up I found that he had been
unable to pass the entrance exami-
nations, but was still full OF fight.
I asked him If he was still deter
mined to go to Yale. and his reply
was:
sity If it takes me twenty years to
do it.
$50 I sent him to Prof. Corwin.
'The professor mapped out a
course which would enable him,
with hard work, to enter Yale the
following year. Neale packed IIp
his clothes, left New Haven for
Marietta College in Ohio, forgot all
about athletics and 'bOned' day and
night. During that year he never
put on an athletic uniform or In
dulged in any other recreation.
He worked.
1.-THE course finished, he came back
to New Haven, and met the entrance
requirements with ease. He plays
the game of football like he plays
the game of life, which is good
enough for me. Thus another So
called transfer came to Yale"
Tad Jones knows his players, he

to tell of their valorous deeds, and
who is there to blame him. We
know of four reasons why Jones
should be proud.

had constructed a reasonable sort Of
stepladder that made it easily Access

to wonder why he had taken the
trouble. He rarely had a meal at

when The Custard Cup never saw him

Nevertheless, when he came breez-

to have secured at a tremendous bar

Oregon woods that delighted the chill
dren, full of rough but jolly kindness
then Mrs. Penfeld appreciated him
without reserve. But there were
other times-times when reticence
was uppermost, about his absences,
his business, his companions. Then
she was puzzled and disturbed, even
piqued.

In this stand the French premier re-

now at its most vocal stage filed the
air with diverse calls and squeaks and
clucks. Jerry Winston's footsteps on
the board walk that ran around the
house were lost In the din.
The animal game was drawing
nearer. A jealous participant had
discovered his habitat to be in the
tree that overhung the lean-to kitchen.
By the squeaky calls 1t was Gray
Squirrel. Also, Gray Squirrels leap
from branch to branch. Mrs. Penfield
set down her iron and started for the
door, with the intention Of curbing
the hazardous realism, when Crash
Splash-Gray Squirrel came hurtling
| through the thin roof between two
supports and landed in tub of soak
ing clothes. During the descent he
instantaneously forsook the cluckings
of the wild and shot out his furry per-
sonality as the parachute drops from
human baby, full of human shrieks
and screams, bent on airing his
troubles to a listening neighborhood.
"My goodness land |" Mrs. Penf1eld
made dive for the fioundering, yell

lightly and swiftly as If he had been
a breadcrumb on the tablecloth. On
the instant a mob Of children poured
into the kitchen, not so much actu-

posts Of observation from which the
downfall Of Jimmy might be fully en-

CHAPTER Viii
Sobsuds.

It was a regular thing for Mrs.
Penf1eld to be called to Number Al.
Mrs. Sanders lived there, alone ex-
cept for roomer; and during the few
months since she had come to The
Custard Cup, she had summoned
Mrs. Penfleld several times when over
wrought nerves had brought her to a
climax of suffering. Her neighbors
had little patience with these attacks.
Because OF the weeping and lamenta-
lions which were the outer symbols
of her distress, they had nicknamed
her Sobsuds. And she knew It.
Sensitive to an attitude which she
interpreted as unsympathetic, Mrs.
Sanders turned for comfort to Mrs.
Penfield as the only one of her neigh
bors who could soothe her into equi-
libriun.
IT. was Monday, and Mrs. Penfeld
was in the midst Of washing; but
when the summons came. she made
all haste to respond, her Office being
that of the physician who Is called in
an emergency.
She found Mrs. Sanders in her small
living-room, pacing rapidly back and
forth, beating the air with her
clenched fists.
They exchanged no word Of greet
ing. Mrs. Penf1eld entered casually,
as If she had happened to think Of 1t
in passing. Mrs. Sanders gave her a
glance of recognition, but said moth
ing.

Penfeld In matter-of-fact tone.
Seems a. mite like fall If you amt
in the sun. What do you say If I
make us some tea to drink while
we're chatting?"
Mrs. Sanders did not reply, but the
taut muscles In her face relaxed the
merest tribe. Mrs. Penf1eld went into
the kitchen and poured boiling water
over the hops she had brought. She
| found a tray and arranged her serv-
ice daintily, as If the occasion were
purely social. She was profoundly
sorry for Mrs. Sanders, whose nerves,
she understood, had been shattered
by grief until at times they became
uncomfortable. She filled bag with
hot water and went back.
Keep your hands on this when you
can," she advised briskly. "You can
hold it in your lap while we're drink
! ing this here tea. Yes, know the
teas hot, but you can sip it. My, it
tastes good, don't it?"
Mrs. Sanders finished her tea and
put down the cup. I'm sorry" she
whispered, with quivering lips, "but /
couldn't stay here by myself. / got
to thinking and T. Obi" She
sprang to her feet, tossing the hot
water bag to the floor, and took up
her pacing again. She was small
woman, with a thin, white face and
gray eyes that at the moment were
burning with rebellion.
"Oh, / can't stand it; can't stand
it," she cried aloud, beating her
hands together. 81 get to thinking,

Mrs. Sanders wheeled and fixed
her with a strange look, as if she
could not believe that it was her
neighbor who had spoken. "Yes like
that, but it's so much worse being by
myself. It's different with you You
got the children. They keep you

SCULPTOR USED ODD MATERIAL

Antonio was sent to take lessons in
sculpture.
For four years he worked at his art
in cell underneath a monastery. At
last he produced statue which sent
the art critics wondering. The Vene-
tan senate sent him to Rome to study
when he was twenty-three years old.
He hit upon a new and daring style
and for a time every one in Rome
scorned it. He worked for 20 years
in extreme poverty but at last his
work came to be recognized as that of
a master.
