have often advised learning fha
iron shots first, for that was the
way I learned, and it appears 10
me to be the better way. Picking
up my golf as I did in the most
desultory manner, / did not begin
with the tee shot, for I did not
begin my golf by trying round.
II was not a question with me as
70 where the game began. NY one
IDEA was to play any shot when
ever and wherever / could, ana az
my one club was an iron naturally
the iron shots had the best chance
OF being practiced.
Many golfers go their lives
through without learning to drive
well. They play their irons wen.
but the wooden shots constantly
evade them, and yet the strokes
are almost exactly the same. Once
upon the tee every muscle appears
to stiffen and all the ease and &C.
curacy Of the iron shots disap-
pears. The whole trouble is
I believe the iron shots should
be carefully practiced and when one
has attained a fair degree of ac-
curacy with them he should essay
the woodens applying all THAI he
has learned on his iron shots to
the problem. The drive is fuller.
freer shot, of course, but the prin-
ciple is exactly the same. The
greater length OF the shaft means
that the arc described must be
greater.

The Velvet Kind quint would rank
high.
If records were considered, there
are several teams now bowling that
might be ranked above the valiant
old Royals-meaning Harry B. Hal.
ley, j. Bernard Carroll, Earl Lewis,
Harry Stanford and Harry Krauss
as the regular lineup.
But plain figures not always indi.
cate the true strength of a bowling
team. Too often, perhaps, the hu.
man equation is Ignored. There are
in Washington today several high
average bowlers who have faults
that make them undesirable as
team members. Their individualism
Is too pronounced. They break up
morale.

tagnan followed no more closely than
did the Royals the rule: "All for
one, one for ALL" Frequently these
victors in hundreds Of bowling bat
ties left the runwayS without knowl-
edge or thought of who was the
high man. The victory was the
sole objective and it mattered not
at all who was chiefly instrumental
so long as every man gave OF his
best in the winning of it. That
spirit behind expectionaI mechanical
ability nearly broke up competition
in the leagues in which the Royals
rolled. They were too successful
possibly for their own welfare. 1t
is a fact that they lost interest
in the game in a competitive way.

Earl Lewis is the only Royal
stllI bowling regularly though all
the others might still be star
ring and Lewis is not nearly the
bowler he was with the old
team. There's a difference In
spirit. Team spirit in bowling
is quite as vital to success as in
any other sport, though each
man. to all appearances. is out
there shooting for every pin,
team or no team.

Jack Whalen, the Convention Hail

City Duckpin Association tourna-
ment with set of 405. His games
were 1875, 12S and 151. He now
leads the all-events with a total Of
1883, two pins better than Tommy
Nolan, his teammate.
Whalen, paired with All
Work. got S54 i'm the doubles.
The pair shot sos. The famous
doubles team, Wolstenholme
and Campbell totalled 6S1,
Campbell led with 348.
Wolstenholme did well in the sin.

There was in this country for d

This stance has the DISADVANTAGES
OF increasing the. chance Of cutting

that the player was able TO get the

the open for the approximately
square stance.
