to . golf ball as described
above produce the same kind
Of curves.
And let me say here that this
control Of the curve in golf is val
liable not only in stynies but to
avoid a bad piece OF the green
which if played otherwise the ball
would have to pass over. There
is even greater use for the curve
bali In putting on sloping green's.
The playing of this shot / explained
in a previous article.
In playing stymies one should
recognize the simple fact that some
stymies can be played successfully
and some cannot. When a stymie
is absolutely impossible 1t is poor
judgment to attempt to play it
excepting in q situation where q
miracle Is necessary to win.
The danger of giving even this
guarded advice is the face, as l
have seen so often on the links,
many players are so determined to
win the hole in a tight situation
that they disregard the situation as
1t lays before them and attempt TO
do what is absolutely impossible.
The result OF this is that they al
most certainly lose the hole at the
finish instead Of halving it. Or
they may sink their opponents ball
or even find themselves facing an
other stymie. 1t is in situations
like this that golfing temperament
which we talked of in the previous
articles Is Of such great value to
player.
When . player doesn't feel
confident that he can curve his

Whether this can be done or not

how far the balls are apart. OF
course in playing your ball. over
your opponent you must abandon
your putter and play with a
club that gives plenty Of rise,
such as q well lOfted mashie.
The stroke should be short and
snappy and Is almost wholly a wrist
stroke. Still another method Is by
giving your ball folIow-through and
thus knocking your opponents over
the hole while your own follows and
drops In.
The follow.through is usually
played by hitting the ball just above
the center and aim squarely at the
other ball. Sufficient force should
be used to get twice the distance
ordinarily required. All Of these
three methods must be made with
decision and confidence. If the shot
looks risky by any Of these methods
then 1t is q question OF judgment.
It may be better to play safe and
accept q half than to take the
chance OF sinking your opponents
ball.

I Y BREADS
SILENCE

According to Ty Cobb there IL
music in the razzing Of the fans.
At least for Tyrus there Is music
and a certain satisfaction which
perhaps other ball players fail to
enjoy.
For Cobb the hoot and the jeer
prove something to his own salts.
faction and when the razzing dies
down Tyrus will regard the situa.
ton with some alarm, IL indeed he
happens to be pursuing his vocation
as big Lacquer at that time. It is
possible that the razzing Of Ty
will go on merrily until he steps out
of baseball, for he has said that he
will never be a minor Lacquer, also
that this will be his last year.
"As long as they keep on
razzing me / will believe that
/ am q pretty fair ball player"
says Cobb. "When the Fazzing
stops I VIII know that i am
through"
Sounds reasonable at that. When
Ty ceases to be a menace to oppos.
ing pitchers or to the prospects OF
the home team his appearance at
the plate will be regarded by home
fans an occasion unworthy Of com.
ment. They will remember that he
once was q big star and extend
to him the charity Of their silence
In any efforts he may make.
Cobb breads that day. He says
he will retire after this season. but
many an athlete made such predic.
tons and found It impossible to live
up to them. Cobb will not be the
first to change his mind about
retiring and he will find it no
easy thing to forsake baseball after
all these years.
He has plenty Of money, all that
he will ever need, but no buiness
or recreation will give him the en-
joyment he can get out Of baseball
and he may be back, for one more
year or even longer.
But all the time Ty's ears will be
eagerly listening for that razzberry
chrous in the grandstand mad
bleachers. When he hears IL he
will also hear from his severest
critics that he still Is good enough
for big league baseball.
The tone Of the message can
be easily overlooked for the
good tidings 1t carries. LET
EN- keep on razzing," says Ty.
II hate to think OF the time
when they stop. That viii be
my time to stop for good"
Cobb's slant on the attitude of
fandom is somewhat novel, but it
undoubtedly is true to a great ex-
tent, and for other stars as well as
Cobb. Most fans shout derisively
with the idea that 1t is annoying
to the player who is singled out,
and 1t probably is when 1t follows
bad ball playing.
For the player who gets It when
he steps to the plate it means Just
what Cobb says about it. When
home fans razz a visiting ball play
err they indicate that he is worth
special attention. They flatter him
while hoping to do anything but
that.

TWO ARMY L|EUTENANTs ! ! HAVE ENJOYABLE HUNT
 ON KENA| PENINSULA

LieutenantS J. J. OCOnHeLl anu J. L. Davidson, who are stationed at Luke Field, Territory of Hawaii, with the flying squadron, but who since August g have been roaming about this and the Westward districts, are two Alaskan visitors who have seen | Alaska as it should be seen. In con- [ nection with their semi-unofficial wis., | it in the interest of aviation, these l fine young officers have spent con- siderable time hunting big game and l. as a momento of their Alaskan hunt l are taking home to Honolulu several splendid specimens. They depart l tonight, on the S. s. Aleutian, for Seattle and will leave Vancouver | B. C., on the M. s. s. Orange, which plies to Australia, via the Islands.
 They anticipate returning to Alas ka next May with an amphibian type of plane. Providing they receive orders to be stationed in this dis trict the plane will be used in re- connaissance work along the coast ! and throughout this region in gener- 1 al It is hoped the time is not far off when an airplane squadron will be stationed in Alaska.
 Prior to returning to Seward two days ago the officers, in company with Mel Horner, licensed guide, spent ten days in the Kenai benin sula country-around Juneau Creek and flats, and at Steve's slough where each shot moose and for good luck Lieutenant Davidson brought down brownie. Both moose heads were good ones one having a spread of 65 and one-half inches. The bear was we'll furred If time would have permitted they would have liked to have secured a sheep head apiece but this pleasure must be left to the future.
 Mel Horner says both of the men are crack shots, especially Lieutenant Davidson, who about five years ago hung up a 200 yard offhand-standing record, at Camp Benny, which they are still shooting at.
 Lieutenant Davidson is a West Point graduate while Yale is the Alma Mater of Lieutenant O'Connell. The latter has been flying for the last 10 years and the former, at least six years.
 Lieuutenant O'Connell specialized in geology at college and was employed for four years in Utah mines. Being hard rock miner Alaska holds ex- ceptional interest for him.
 Both have made numerous staunch friends while here and 1t is their wish the officers hope of returning to AL aska next spring will be realized.

vorable weather conditions prevailing
today over the greater portion of the
domestic wheat belt afforded some ad-
vantage to sellers until the final half
hour, especially as new export busi-
ness in North American wheat totaled
only about 10000 bushels.
Spectators for decline in wheat
gave particular stress today to an Off
cial report that throughout the eastern
two thirds of Kansas, the banner wheat
state, the growth of wheat in general
is entirely satisfactory. The report,
nevertheless, added that temperatures
for the western third of the state have
been too cold and that in some south
western counties the soil is too dry.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Net Result of Stock Dividend.
BY GEORGE 7. HUGHES.

Let us make one more attempt to
clear up this matter of what stock
dividend means. Suppose five men
are partners in a business the assets
of which are valued at 100000 Then
each one of the five will have a
$40 900 interest in the property, for
five times $40, 900 is 500, 900.
Now let us change the partnership
into a stock corporation and give each
one of the five partners 200 shares of
stock, making 900 shares in all.
Then the 900 shares viii stand for
property valued at 100000 and the
holdings of each one of the five former
partners, now stockholders, will be
worth one-fifth of 500 900, or $40 900,
exactly the same as before.
Now suppose that the business is
carried on over a period of years
during which profits accumulate in
the form of surplus so that the assets
come to be worth twice as much as
they were at the organization, or
100000 In that event each one of
the five stockholders will own one-fifth
of the business or $40, 900. In other
words, his stock will have doubled in
value.
Next assume that it is decided to
declare a stock dividend of 100 per
cent so that each shareholder re-
ceives 200 shares additional, making
400 in all and that the total amount
outstanding is 1000 shares. Each
one of the five will have twice as
many shares, but his proportional in
terest in the business will remain the
same. 1t will still be one-f1fth, no
more, no less. The 200 shares before
the stock dividend were worth exactly
as much as the 400 shares after the
stock dividend, that is. one-fifth OF
$500 coo, or $40 ,00o.
All that has happened is that each
stakeholder after the stock dividend
has twice as many paper certificates
to represent his unchanged interest
an the business as he had before.
