FORGING ISSUE
DANGEROUS
IN GOLF
And in Other Sports Too,
Players Are Thrown Off
Mental Balance

Hard, aggressive playing has
forced many breaks in athletic
contests. This has led a number
of athletes to try to force the is.
sues. especially in golf matches.
These athletes think that in or
der to win they must sink every
putt Of fifteen feet or thereabouts.
They try to complete the. distance
in a single putt and as a conse-
quence very often take three.
Not only do these athletes add
to their error column, but they
have added extra shots to their
card. Victories in any sport, as
well as in golf, can best be OBJ,
tanned by decreasing the error
column.
Trying to force ones game has
disastrou results. 1t causes one to
lose the proper mental balance and
one bad hole is apt to destroy
whatever chance existed for a vic.
tory.
Willie MacFarlane, Bobby Jones
and Walter Hagen seldom have
been accused of trying to fore
their game. That's one reason
why they are champions.

: AND AFTER
By ROSS coNKLIN-

Announcement that Chris Dun
ply would compete in the national
amateur golf championship at
Oakmont on August 81 recalls .
buzzing match at Chevy Chase in
which Chris explained the five
shots that he considered most
difficult. Since Dunphy has been
playing winning golf for years
he is competent to speak with
authority on the subject.
Dunphy believes, and many agree
with him, that chip shot out OF
a bunker where tire ball is perched
up on a small mound is the most
hazardous shot in golf. The ten.
dency is to top the ball and if a
topped shot is not the result the
delicate stroke has likely not been
followed through and the ball is
still in the trap. When the ball is
in heel print any number OF
sharps can explode it out. but when
it is sort Of teed up. then trouble
follows.
nerve is the average pitch shot
over a guarding tran. with wind
blowing from the back. If the
shot is short. it is i'm the trap.
And il IL is strong. the wind will
take it clear over. Allowance for
the wind is imperative. but Just
how much resistance a ball en-
counters i'm short pitch is
learned only through experience
and tears.
Take one of those greens that re
sembles a small farm in size. and
a carpet in texture, place a ball on
one side, and try to putt it in.
Then you will find another shot
that Dunphy says Is a corker.
Fast green's are deceptive. A 80
yard putt, or more. on a very fast
green, Is imminent disaster.
In most of the discussion of hard
shots the wind figured. Brassie
shots with cross wind, long iron
shots into a fluctuating wind, high
mashie shots against the wind, and
any number of tee shots with the
wind boxing the compass came in
for mean share of i'll thoughts.
Joe hlrkWOod is not the only
trick shot artist in the golf world
according to A. l.. Houghton. Bill
McAuliffe, winner of the public
links title, can step with Joe. Play.
ing against Serrick in the finals
McAuliffe found his ball lodged in
a high trap that resembled a ditch.
He played the shot off the opposite
bank, much as billiard PLAYER plays
bank shot, and the ball caromed
off and onto the green. He won
the hole.
Those dreaded brown patches that
are the bane OF all golf courses
are wrecking some of the greens
hereabouts. The patches are re-
suit of the morning dew. A web
like a net is spun over spots in the
green at night by fungus, and this
catches the dew. When the sun
comes up, the dew is held in, and
hot sun soon scorches the green
beyond recall. Sweeping the greens
before sun up is the only way to
combat the dreaded brown spots.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-08-11

The player who is master of
strong approaching shots is
always to be feared and want
to lay special emphasis upon
the Importance Of cultivating
this part Of golf. Many a poor
putter wins his game on the
approach, for the better his APP
proach shot the less he has to
do on the green.
Moreover, when q man is
skillfuI with the mashie, even
if his putting is. not quite up
to par, he can often afford an
extra stroke on the green. II
approaching is poorly done and
q player is up against a long
putt he is under severe ner-
vous tension until the ball has
been holed and it often hap
pens that putting is poorly done
when player is in this ner-
vous frame of mind.

This was the word that arrived
today In advance Of Floyd Fitzsim-
mons with the champions signature

Wills next year. The document

willingness to frolic with his col.

ingness to get into immediate =. touch
with some important money.
The latest tidings are to the ef-
feet that Dempsey cot the worst OF
his financial split with Jack Kearns,
at least as far as the present is
concerned; that he is not what you
would call financially abashed but
that his money remains tied up.
Kearns, they say, took the
property that was unencumbered
the more valuable section Of the
late partnership, but one that will
not show immediate returns.
--
Whether Kearns outsmarted the
champion In taking the bird in the
hand remains to be seen. The we'll
known manager has another ace
in the hole. however. Under the
terms Of his boxing contract with
Dempsey, he can laugh off FitizIsm-
mons document if he cares to feel
at ell humorous about the thing.
Their agreement, holding good
until late next summer, gives Ksarns
the privilege of approving any &C.
tion Dempsey might make.
Fitzsimmons is due to confer with
Paddy Mullins, manager Of Willis,
today and the latter declared tllst
he. would sign without further pre-
afnble IL the transaction seemed to
be right and regular. Mullins then
will find that he viii have to go to
kearns before the proposition be-
comes official. He may find Jack
"a trifle pen-shy.
It Is no secret that the latter Is
much exercised over the entire
situation. He has been doing the
Durable Dane throughout the
controversy and is beginning to
wilt under the punishment.
In his present mood, Kearns Is
not likely to string along with any
thing Dempsey has done without
his authority. As a matter Of fact,
Kearns is coming on from Chicago
within the next forty-eight hours
with the idea of taking due care of
Jack Kearns and letting Dempsey
take care Of himself
1t is the writer's information
that the first thing Kearns viii 10
is to square himself with the local
commission by signing its agree
ment for Dempsey 20 meet Wills.
That would leave Fitzsimmons and
Mullins out on a thin limb.
