Should the club be gripped
more firmly when playing the
irons than when playing with
wooden clubs?

The club is not grlpped more firm
fy In playing iron and mashie shots
than when playing wooden clubs. You
need more control in playing to the
green, as you do with he irons, than
at any other time; gripping more
firmly will probably lose you this con-
troll. True. the ball il struck more
firmly with iron clubs because the
swing is shorter and the club is short
er, ALLOWING you to hit your ball more
firmer than it actually is because
you are hitting the ban a sharply de-
scendin% blow and taking turf to give
n true flight to the ball.

MARTIN MAY SLIP
SURPRISE SHEPPARD
BOUT AT PORTLAND

Portland, March 25.-Andy Martin is
preparing with special care for his due
with bantam champion Johnny Shep-
pard at the Pine Tree A. c. Friday
night. The clever little Italian boy
realizes that he has a chance to cop
the New England crown by knockout,
even though decisions are not allowed
in this State. With his left continual
ly in Sheppard's face Martin might
whip over a right as he did with JIM
my Rice in their first fracas. and drop
the Woburn boy for the count.
In the past six months Martin has
risen rapidly in bantamweight ranks.
This was only because the opportunity
offered. He had been boxing well for
some time but had been given no
matches. When Sam Price took over
his management and started him down
in Waterville with victory over Rice,
the South Boston boy began to climb.
Jimmy Henderson, manager of Eddie
Shevlin and Jimmy Fruzetti, thinks SO
we'll of Martins ability that he has
bought half his contract from Price at
a reported figure of $500.
Last night Johnny Sheppard boxed
a flashy draw with Tony Thomas, the
New Bedford bantam, who fought
Pancho Villa in Boston, and should be
New England champion, say his home
town folks. Thomas is a clever defen-
sive boxer and takes no chances
against tough two-fisted puncher like
Sheppard. 1t is easy to see where he
would play safe against the Woburn
tattler.
The battle between Johnny Laroux
and Arthur kid" Sullivan shapes up
as a very rugged affair. The winner
of this six-round semi-final will claim
the northern New England welter-
weight title. Fans who saw the last
duel between kayo Laliberte and Dotty
MARI know what to expect in repeat.
only it is likely to be more ferocious
than before, as Mari has vowed he will
take revenge. The two prelims should

II don't think any one has had more bad luck and sickness than have. In 1905 I had two ribs, an arm and collar bone broken Tn q railroad acci- dent. Then l had pneumonia. After recovering I crossed a pasture when a bull chased me, tossed me over the fence and broke my right leg. In 1910 I had typhoid fever; since then severe stomach and liver trouble, which no medicine or doctor touched until two years ago I got a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which proved the first ray of light in thirteen years.'
