Patrick Henry numbered at the

through Is colonies and instilled
hope in a million hearts. The

would pass up the State tank meet

Pay Attention
To Putting,
SqysEuans
By Charles Chick Evans, Jr.

1 believe in putting style which
is most comfortable to the in
dividual. The. great mistake in my
golf life was changing my putting
style and putting stance too often.
II could go back to the little put
ting feature with which putted
in my caddy days at Edgewater and
kept it and the stance through all
the years that / have played would
never have been called "a poor
putter.
Because putting is such big
part Of the game it should re-
ceive great amount Of atten-
ton from the golfer. Near the
cup is the place where you can
forget golf stance, and let COM
fort rule. / would learn this
short putt first Of all and adopt
q method of getting the ball into
the hole which once adopted /
would repeat all the year long.
At least this is what / am going
to do this year and l am expecting
to hole more than in any other year,
My method is going to be about as
follows:
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-03-31

AS the force Of the clubhead will
send the ball more easily with snort
putt, ! try to make my grip as one
handed as possible. I am going to
overlap the two lower fingers Of my
right hand on to the two fingers CT
the left. Now don't care how you
get this one-hand position. but
think on all these short puts you
should be sure to make 1t one hand.
Some of our greatest players overlap
the two upper fingers on the left
hand with the two lower fingers Of
the right hand. This gives the right
hand a predominance of play.

There is one thing sure, and that
is the margin Of error in the one
handed putt is less than with two
hands, and one hand. or part Of it
must only act as steadying influ-

-
inc fellows who can make hitters
lit are the chaps who win the ball
games.
Sa During the regular season Shocker
buys eight or ten newspapers every
morning, and I've seen him sit and
study the box scores for an hour
ct . time. Not the Yankee box
score. either, but the box score for
other clubs. The result is that
when = club comes to the stadium,
Shcckef knows who is hitting and
who isn't He knows which men
hava been driving in runs, and
which ones have been failing in
the pinches and it helps him lot.
Many times I've seen him pass a
supposedly weak hitter to get at a
strong one All because he Happened
- know that the good hitter hap
pened to be in a slump and the
weak hitter was pounding the cover
81 the ball just then.
Ihat'S what call smart pitching.
And that's why i don't agree
with lot of experts when they
start talking about pitching
strength. A wide curve isn't q
bit of use to q pitcher. IL he
doesn't know when to use it,
aEd the guy who knows where
Ri 20 pitch and has control to pitch
there. Is going to win lot more
BAN games than the fellow who
has everything but . noodle.
Every year about this time you
read in the papers about the young
pitching phenoms in the various
camps. And probably the kids have
got q lot of stuff. But did you ever
notice how few of them are sticking
around and working regularly when
June rolls around? Not many.
They've got lot to learn before
they make the big league grade
and the manager who counts too
much on kid pitchers is due to get
. socking sooner or later. :
