One Of the best matches and the
one which probably will draw the
largest number of spectators will
be a strictly amateur affair. Jesse
Guilford, of Boston, one time ma.
tional amateur champion, will be
paired with Bobby Jones against
Chick Evans and S. d. Heron.
The pros who probably will fur.
nish the feature tilt in their divis.
ion are Johnny Farrell and Mike
Brady opposed to Macdonald Smith
and Emmett French. Farrell was
low qualifier in the East. Smith

Other matches are as follows:

The rule Of golf which Is most
commonly violated Is the one which
permits a match coming up to play
through when looking for a lost
ball. This seems a simple enough
thing to do. and yet on every
course there are players who re.
fuse other players this privilege
unless they insist on it. Golf Is
different from other games, for
If 1t Is going to be played at all
/. should be played right.
1t isn't game where a player
can take advantage of the rules on
technicalities. Correct and incor-
rect methods on the course are
clearly defined. The player Is his
own referee and umpire. Observa
ton of the unwritten code is en-.
tirely personal matter. Each
player should have consideration
for every other player.
Any golfer who knows the diff.
ference between a driver and a
putter, knows that he should al.
ways replace the turf he digs
up in the operation of making a
shot. It Is nevertheless true
that numerous pieces of turf are
never replaced unless some one
happens to be watching the pillow.
ing-up process. Some of the
players who fail to replace tho
turf ought to think of their own
front lawns.
The usual run of golfers observe
the rules and are pleasant people
to meet on the course. The others
are much in the minority, but one

Golf is a silent game. It should

not to talk or make a noise while
another player is making a stroke.

 r Answered by
 STANLEY HARRIS '
 Playing manager, Washington Sem ators: Known for his keen knowIedg, of baseball strategy.
 A catcher should take every bunt he can get to when in a facing position" to the base where the play Is to be made. Any hurried play should be made with the bare hands as 1t is quite difficult to pick up c ball in a hurry with a catcher's mitt. When the catcher does not handle the ball he coaches whoever takes the play, advising the proper base to throw to.
