One of the most interesting things
I saw at Baltusrol was crumpled
bit of paper about the size of card
index. On it was written a word
or two about the hole. 1t was used
by one of the golfers I played
against, and it seemed an excellent
idea. So many things happen to
your mind while playing a golf hole
that you are likely to forget some
of the most important features, or
dangers of 1t. If, however, you
put these important facts down on
a paper and look at it before each
shot you cannot fail to be benefited.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-11-30

One thing l noticed at Baltus.
rOl was that most of the players
of the present-day do not make
the mistake of using the wrong
club. Judgment of golf clubs is
a big part of golf success. The
best rule for iron clubs, / think,
is to use longer loft in shots
against the wind. At least this
usually works.

Little Strategy
|. Helps in All
Golf Games !
BY Charles (Chick J Evans Jr.

A man who hopes to succeed at
championships must not only know
the shots. but he must also know
the little strategies that have to do
with the psychology of the game.
This thought was brought home to
me most effectively when / was play
ing against a world-farnous cham
pion not long ago.
There is not finer player or
sportsman anywhere and he can win
without knowing all the tricks Of
the game, but he does know and
practices them all, for none. summer
and winter. has ever given more Of
himself to the game than he.

Along late In the next afternoon the
trail we were following widened sud

close. to a village.
The gate in the village stockade
when we cached 1t stood invitingly
open. We walked up to it slowly and
looked inside. The village was un-
usually large and hanking the wide
central street were 80 or 40 stanchly
built huts. But not living thing was
in sight.
Cautiously we shepherded our entire
party inside and lined 1t up against
the stockade where the carriers backs
would be protected IL 1t came to a
fight. The police stationed themselves
at intervals in front.
"Muria. what village is this?" asked
Humphries.

in which pride was noticeable, this
is my proper village"

Where Ia the body Of the dead
mani" asked Humphries. Silently
Muria raised his manacled hands and
indicated the other end Of the village
Above the thatched roofs rose the
point Of burial platform. and even
from that distance we could see that
the platform held a body Of some kind.
Humphries ordered Muria freed.
Come with us, he said, "and do not
try to run. II you have told the
truth you may go. II you have lied
and try to escape l shall kill YOU"
SUDDENLY there was a cry from
Muria and from one Of the huts
dashed a black form straight for us.
As we reached for our weapons we
saw that 1t was a woman. She flung
herself upon Muria with little cries Of
what seemed like Joy. But all the
time she kept looking toward the far
gate and there was fear in her eyes.
"Vavine lao" said Muria, answering
our unspoken question. "'She In my
woman. master. and she says that /
must die
THE 'govamen' will protect you,"
the ma gistrate assured him. What
have you done that your own village
should say you die?"
Muria's face was troubled and he.
too, glanced toward the far gate
Master, 1t is the pay.back," he re-
piled. 1T was 1 who killed the man

l wanted to laugh. 1t was impossi
BILE of belief. This little man the
slayer Of the redoubtable Yapitze? But
then, IL what we had been told was
true, the killing had been done from
ambush. 1t might be true. after all.
My eyes strayed toward the burial
platform. and In that instant the far
gate suddenly filled with savage faces,
black bodies pushed and jostled their
way inside of the stockade. and in
twinkling hundred fighting men be-
gan to move slowly toward us.
Instantly Humphries and l began
moving back toward our party. Muria,
with the woman's arms around him,
stood as If paralyZed.
We heard the corporal shouting out
an order, and the police swung into
skirmish line across the village street.
Evening star., 1926-12-12

Humphries took occa sion to pass
the word to all the police to be on
their guard against treachery.
Finally he gave the order to start.
The warriors followed to the gate Of
the village and stopped there. Ap-
parentiy they would go no farther.
Only Muria and the big chief passed
on to the head of the line. Humphries
and the rear guard were the last TO
leave.
So we white men, the police and
the carriers tagged along at the heels
of the big savage and his little hench-
man over trails that were excellent
as far as Papuan trails go.
Occa sionally we came to a village
and were received by the people quiet
ly and with apparent friendship, but
1t was to the number one chief, :
Aihi-Oai, and his diminutive compan n
Ion, always at his heels or elbow, that
'he natives paid Difference.
With Muria acting as interpreter.
the magistrate asked many questions
in these villages and always the re-
plies were identical.
At these conferences Constable Mai
keli stood close, his face inscrutab BILE as
he listened keenly and never by so
much as the flicker Of an eyelash be
traying that he understood what was
being said.
Muria, so Maikeli said, was trans
lating truly and had made no effort to
influence the replies. 1t was all very
open and above board on the face of
things, and 1t was for this very rea son
that the magistrate worried.
Bit by bit Humphries became con-
Vinced that, II he could but uncover
1t, we were being made the victims Of
a plot or a hoax.
1t had been four days now since
AihiOai and Muria had undertaken to
guide us to Tavivi and In that time
they should have reached any point in
Kapatea. No native district Is 80
large that it could not be spanned in
that time
AT noon the next day we still were
battling our way across the Jungle
clad mountains and some one, acct
dentally glancing at his compass, dis
covered that we had turned around
and were returning whence we had
come
Evening star., 1926-12-12

We were just then halted in a tiny
village.
Upon a log to one side sat Muria
and Chief Aihi-Oai. Humphries' eyes
strayed In that direction and for a
moment he regarded them contem-
platively.
Then he Jumped to his feet.
THAT little savage is tricking us,
he said, with a dangerous gleam In his
eyes. I'm going over to have 1t out
with him."
Humphries hand flashed out and
laid tight hold upon the shoulder Of
the little guide and whirled him about.
Then he brought the palm of his
hand down sharply across the cheek
of the black man, brought 1t back and
slapped his other cheek with a back
handed motion.
Muria started back and his weak
little eyes famed hatred and vindic-
tiveness. Then the tears began to
fall, the blood ran from his distended
nostrils and he crumpled up. sobbing
and groveling at our feet.
"Taubada"' he cried, Il do not know
where Tavivi is
l. est constable. Put the hand
was jerked to his feet and the irons
were fastened to his wrists.
He turned back to Muria. You'll
lead us to Tavivi or I'll take you down
to the coast and put you in Jail. Per
haps I'll kill YOU" he threatened un-
truthfully.
Muria began to howl.
THE men OF Tavivi are bad, ma ster
They will kill me-"
THE 'govamen' will protect you"
Suddenly Muria ceased to dab at
the mingled blood and tears upon his
face.
1T is well, master" he said. 1--WE
go to Tavivi."
Humphries nodded. Then he called
a constable. From one of the packs a
rope was obtained and knotted firmly
to the chain connecting the handouts
on the guides wrists. The other end
of the rope was looped about the con-
stables waist with about 6 feet be-
tween the two men.
Now, understand me, Muria," said
