There Is no need to multiply
examples. Every good putter /
know keeps the hands well i'm
front. SO I think there can be
little doubt that it is good prac-
tice. My own experience enables
me to say with certainty that
to keep them behind the ball
is q most perniciOus fault.
The most difficult part of the
game of golf is played on the
putting green, and yet most men
will practice and take lessons with
every club except the putter. A
few casual taps while waiting for
their starting time is the extent of
the practice most of them do. And
putting is an art which can be
acquired only by constant and i'm
telligent work. A person can be
taught to swing putter properly.
but he cannot be taught how hard
he must hit the ball, nor how much
he must borrow from a slope. These
are learned only through expert

the Preakness, as indeed many
Preakness failures have done in the
past. II he really has the racing
in him, Whiskery must show it at
the Downs or admit that it isn't
In him.
Black Panther really did prove
something, however. He was off
eighth and really did pick up
some early interference, even in
that rather exclusive field Of ~.
1t was so bad that he was last
at the quarter, eight lengths
back. Then he started to run.
Most Of IL was done far on the
outside but, at that, he closed a
lot of ground, and got UP i'm time
to beat the firing Scapa Flow to
the line for fourth by a head.
Another who came with a great
rush was Sir Harry. although It
must be admitted that he was out
run in the stretch by Bostonian.
However, the Seagram Stable entry
had to do plenty of running to inn
prove his position, which was last at
the break and not better than sixth
at the three-quarters. He did well
to make it as close as he did.
AS for the others, no Derby horse
seems to have more than the flutter-
ing breath of life. Fair Star was

Jopagan stopped in the stretch; Crys-

and Budd Bauer. the Bradley horse,
was last at the three-quarters and
stayed there TO the wire.
But started out to talk about
the Whitney horses and Scapa Flow.
Very we'll: I'll finish with them by
offering these thoughts: II a Whit
ney horse wins the Derby, that
sportsman will be SO far in front as
a winning owner that the others
won't catch him during the season
with a posse. If Scapa Flow can't
move his weak ankles in the soft

was that credited to Scott Har.

said that Scapa Flow, the Man

East Lake with Watts Gum and
Charlie Black, one OF our very best
young golfers. have always re-
garded Charlie as one of the most
deadly putters in the game, a
player who puts not merely well,
but brilliantly, at all times. have
watched him closely for a long
while, trying to discover just what
he did that made his ball seem to
be continually seeking the bottom
of the cup. This day found what
he did, or rather. by watching him,
found what ! did not do.
When addressing his putt,
Charlie, placing almost his en-.
tire weight on his left foot.
pushed his hands SO far forward
that they were in front Of his
left leg, almost Immediately
beneath his left shoulder. The
ball was opposite the left foot
and appreciabIy behind the
hands.
OF course, there is nothing startl-
ing in the observation that the
hands should be in front Of the
ball when addressing it. That point
Is. / think, very generally recog-
nized. The great difficulty is that

/ takes, we are apt to overlook what

have been told repeatedly that
my stroke looked quite all right,
and that / should have no trouble
II would only stop worrying about
it. But / could feel that wasn't
striking the ball a sharp, solid blow.
One putt would be half-topped, an
other pushed, another hit much too
hard, and so on. | changed my
putter. altered my stance. did every
thing could, except move my
hands forward
One effect OF keeping the hands
back is to force the putter-head

there is considerable movement of
the body This will not be dis
astrous on the long approaches.
where more freedom of movement
is allowed, but it. will be ruinous
on puts of ten and fifteen feet,
just the kind you feel you ought
to hole.
Also there Is great danger
that the left hand may not
move forward out Of the way
and will begin to throw the
club head upward before it
reaches the ball. which will
invariably cause the putt to be
half-tOpped,
With the hands out in front, the
arms are free to move, and should
be used and the club is under much
better control. From this position
a clean, firm blow may be struck
with assurance that no protruding
knee or belt buckle will interfere.
Both hands can work together in
comfortable fashion.
When we think of good putters,
we inevitably begin with Walter
Hagen. the very best. If you will
watch Walter addressing his putt,
you will notice that his hands are
touching the crease in his left
trouser leg, and that the greater
part of his weight is on the left
foot. Johnny Farrell, another very
fine putter, is almost the same.
Johnny. however makes his stroke
almost entirely with his wrists.
