TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS. One of the stupidest things
about American school system that we neglect to
teach children right and wrong.
You spoke place of sixteen yearold Edith who

been well fortified against evil that at sixteen she would
be able to lead her brothers sisters or even her
erring parents instead of being watched herself
If depend the homes country will 90 from bad

children do not to Sunday school, The place to teach
right and wrong IS IN the schools G. J. G.
There just about 1882 why your suggestion is
the bunk friend In the first place. the average Ameri

tried to poke the American tax payer into raising

Wrong in the schools who's going decide what Right and
Wrong really Do YOU knowY Maybe Won know for

points out that in the King James
Bible, David dispenses "a cake of
bread and a good piece of flesh
and a snagon of wine," which in
the new Bible is made to read
"a roll Of bread, a portion OF
meat and a cake Of raisin." In
the old Bible Isaiah criticized the
children of Israel for looking to
other Gods and loving flagons Of
wine," while in the revised edi-
ton the phrase appears although
they turned to other Gods and
loved IT, eat raisin cakes at their
festivals"
The association sets forth that
it can now boast that the raisin

of the church, will be given a

the minister announces his text.

Last season Jones played little
golf from home excepting the ma

he finished second to Cyril Walker
and the national amateur that he
won rather easily at the Merton
Cricket Club.

out q prediction the elder Jones
made to the. writer back in 1922 at
Broolsline when he said that Rob
had better capture the amateur
crown within the next few years
because he could not Enucn longer

The lower one can keep
ball when it is windy the more
successful his shots will be.
Great English players run up
everything around a green when
the winds are high. There is
one thing very important and
that is to watch carefully to
see if the ball drags or bounces
a little. This depends little
upon the fall the ball gets after
it first meets the ground.
IF the ball drags through the
grass it is very difficult to
Judge if it bounces normally you
soon learn one of the easiest
shots in the game. Of course,
whenever possible, try to pitch
the ball to the green and let it
run on the truer grass. l try
to feel this shot in the fingers
more than any other stroke,
which is saying a great deal.
Now for the most necessary
idea in playing run-ups. Be sure
to avoid showing it since there
is often an inclination to do so.
The way / play it is to use
fair amount of wrist although |
let my hands move back with
my clubhead little so that it
is not entirely a wrist shot.

the wrist action and assists in
hitting better. You have seen
great players take one quick look
at the hole just before they hit.
/ do it in this shot, for q quick
impression gives one the dis
lance better than a lingering
study. Your thumbs should be
down the shaft in this shot.
Take rather long grip on the
club so that you can stand up
and see the hole better, BIT am
not so sure that a shorter grip
would work out well, too.
There is advantage in practic-
ing those shot, for when you are
in trouble under trees and other
overhanging places where YOU
are required to hit a low shot of
it you can use it successfully.
I usually pick a little spot q
foot in front of the ball on the
imaginary direction line and hit
the ball squarely over it such as
a pitcher would pitch his ball
over the home plate. Sometimes
I watch the backstroke because
as a matter of fact with the ex-
ception of wrist action, this
shot is made on almost straight
lines rather. than curves. OF
course you must allow for rolls
such as you have TO on putting
greens for you are working on
the ground surface and not in
the air.

; For the last year or more he
has been a negligible factor in
big tournament play. He was az
cocky and confident as ever, but
simply couldn't get his shots go
ing.
During the winter prior to the
skokie campaign and year after
it Gene was a wonderful golfer
a shade better at match play than
medal, but a powerful figure in
either. No one who saw his finish
against old John Black and Bobby
Jones will be likely to forget it.
No one who saw him trounce Wal
ter Hagen in match play will for
get that, either.
Then he began to slide. He
failed to qualify in the British
open. He slipped alld sIithered

Hagen, for instance, Is master
of golfing theory as well as prac-
tice. Sarazen, on the other hand,
had acquired a groove" by con-
slant practice. In his early days
he knew nothing about theory
and cared less. When he began to
study the why's and wherefores
of his shots his mastery over them
began to fail.
Now he has returned to the high
place from which he fell. At Wor-
cester last month Sarazen played
really fine golf and finished we'll

- AND AFTER
BY ROSS CoNKLIN-

Two potential Roland MacKen-
zies were uncovered in that cad
dies tournament at Indian Spring
in the persons of Roger and Rich
ard Peacock, brothers. They are
a long way from that goal now,
but the game they showed was
remarkable when their tender
years was considered.
Roger is about thirteen years old.
He shot a grand total of i83, and
his brother, two years older, shot
a score of 100 because of a disas-
trous first round. When any two
boys whose ages do not exceed fiji
teen can go around Indian Spring
in those highly creditable figures,
they are to be reckoned with.
Both boys have regulations
among the caddies of being star
golfers. They do not shoot so
far off the tee, but they rarely
stray from the alley. Their iron
work is good. but it is on the
green's that they shine. With a
big gallery watching the caddies
on the eighteenth green, Roger
sunk a 35-fOOt putt, and Richard
took two puts from about the
same distance. incidentally, they
caddie for Roland Mackenzie.
The heterogeneous equipments of
some of the caddies was startling.
One young man of ingenuity and
courage had cut up an inner tube

filled his tube. He claims the bene.

Many of the players had only
one ball and that one badly cut.

dian Spring club, and acting start
er, was forced TO dig down in his
jeans and purchase balls for some
Of the luckless chaps who lost their
one and only. A mixed foursome
was stalled on the seventeenth tee
until a working caddie hustled into
the club house and bought balls
for two of the members.
What Is more, many of the cad
dies had >caddies. They came from
Columbia. Chevy Chase, Washing
ton and Argyle to watch their
brethren. And when they got there
they were impressed into service
as caddies, since they were not
eligible to play.

Deigel in his style. While Leo
has never given his dusky counter
part any lessons, James has re-
ligiously followed the stance and
