Estimating the young fellows entire

he has a particularly high opinion Of
his ability as a putter.

1925 champion.
After l had played with him while
I told him. Burky, I've had a putting
lesson from you
ANYWHERE within 90 feet of the cup
that ball is likely to drop when Burky
puts, One big reason for his success
is that he simply never has the idea
of taking three puts In his mind. He
is the embodiment of confidence. He
always gives the ball a chance to get
down.
IN that round at Blind Brook, when
he beat Cruickshank and me, he made
the longest putt I ever saw. 1t was on
the last green.
THE cup was set toward the front of
the green, about s feet from the edge

three puts, he's lucky thought I
had him beaten on that hole.
''All wrong He sank that putt for
three. 1t gave him his o."
Clears Way for 70-foot Putt.
Willie tells good story about this
putt which is illustrative of Burkes
putting psychological how confident
he Is.
There was the young fellows ball 10
feet from the cup, with climb over a
hump and after TINT long Journey
downhill ahead of it. The question was
one of holing out with two putts-noth-
ing else.
But Burke didn't see things that way.
On the way up to his hall he surveyed
the green and proceeded. with the ut
most care. to pick up some infinitcsimal
pebbles along the line of his putt AS
usual. he intended To shoot the whole
works.
II wouldn't have picked up rocks for
putt like that" says i1acfarlane.
However. Willie holds that Burke's
confidence. which leads him TO think
that in golf anything Is possible. is an
asset which will count as much as any,

MINERS MAY AGREE
| TO SLASH IN WAGES
Illinois Leader Reported
Seeking Authority to Ne
gotiate Lower Scale.


INDIANAPOLIS. July l0.-Condi-
tons confronting union miners in the
bituminous coal fields of the Nation
were the basis Of discussion today by
members of the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America in a
special meeting called by John L.
Lewis, International president
The executive board sessions will be
followed tomorrow by meeting Of the
policy committee.
Reports were prevalent here as the
board members assembled that Harry
Fishwick. president of the Illinois dis
trlct OF the union. would seek recess
sion from the official policy that all
wage negotiations must be conducted on
the basis OF the Jacksonville scale.
which provides $1.08 per ton for men
on tonnage basis and $3.50 per day
for day wage men.
A large number Of mines In Indiana
and Illinois have been idle since the
/. 1877. Others under temporary
agreements to pay the union scale have
continued operations. Production has
fallen heavily in both States.
Fishwick, 1t Is reported. has con-
tended that conditions In the soft coal
mines OF Illinois have changed to such
an extent that 1t Is no longer feasible
for the miners TO cling to the jack
wage scale and seeks a change
IN union policy to permit the miners to
negotiate separate wage agreements. The
edict under which the miners are held
to the Jacksonville scale was given by
the highest authority In the miners or
the international conven-
Ion at indianapolis. In January, 1927.
