player Of medium or less skill.
There is a excellent mechanical
reason for the gratifying results
that the average player can obtain
in playing fairly short approach
shots with this club. Generally
speaking. it is a good idea to
pitch the ball well up in the air.
And this Is necessary where any
kind of hazard or trouble lies be-
tween the ball and the putting
green. Because of its extra loft,
the mashie niblick makes it easier
to do this.
Furthermore. where the bah
is hit well up, one doesn't need
the degree of fine skill in iudg-
ing the required hitting force.
From its high trajectory the ball
will not rum nearly so far after
striking the ground. So the club
takes care Of this point to q
certain extent.
There are tire essential points
to be carried out in playing this
club. First: Keep the left arm
straight on the backswing. This
can be done, because the swing
should never be long enough to
require any bending of the arm at
the elbow on the backswing. In fact
this Is good gauge of the extent
Of the backswing. Do not take the
club back further than can be
done while keeping the arm straight.
II a longer swing is needed, then
probably q more powerful club
should be used.
Second: In hitting the ball, make
the stroke sharp and crisp. Don't
ease up on the stroke, but hit on
through.
Third: Keep the club low
along the ground after the ball,
and do not try to scoop the
ball up with n quick swapping
upward motion OF the wrists.
the ball get up all right, so no
movement Of this kind is needed.
What is more. where such a move
IL made, it will frequently be mis-
timed. and the edge OF the club
may start up too soon. thus pre-
venting the clubhead from getting
under the ball as it should. What
usually happens is that the edge of
the club face strikes the ball about
half way up, and a topped shot re-
suits. Just imagine you are going
to make the clubhead skim right
along the roots Of the grass for
five or six inches after the ball
has been hit, and don't worry abo'It
making it rise-the clUbhead will
attend to that.
In addition, the mashie nibIick is
| handy thing to use in playing
out of traps near the green where
the ball lies fairly well up. Also
it Is good for getting the ball out
of rough. because the blade is
fairly wide and there is less danger
Of hitting too much under the ball
by misjudging the exact distance the
ball sits up off the ground. Being
| lighter than the niblick, the masI1ie
niblick is somewhat easier to
handle, especially by players who
are not blessed with thick, powerful
wrists.

FIEND Elephant

BY AMERICAN
Beast Slain After Taking
Toll of Seven Lives in
Burma.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 23.-One huge
foot and one mighty tuck of Devil
Devil" the rogue elephant which
for months terrroized the natives
of the Minbu district of Burma,
killing seven persons and destroy
ing thousands of dollars worth of
crops, now repose in the Shanghai
Office Of the United Press-the gift
of Joseph r. Grove, slayer of the
great pachydermn.
Before, Grove completed sixteen
years in the jungles of Burma,
sailed for his home in San Fran
cisco and stopped long enough in
Shanghai to distribute a number of
big game trophies to newspaper
men.
Killed After Three-Day Hunt
In Burma Grove was superintend-
ent of an oil field owned by an
English concern.
Devil-Devil, the rogue elephant,
was killed after three-day hunt
in the jungles. The beast meas
ured feet inches at the Shout
ders and is stated to have been the
largest elephant ever killed in
Burma.
After a three-day search in the
bamboo jungles Grove came upon
'Devil-DeviI" unexpectedly. Both
man and elephant were surprised.
The average Burma elephant,
which is of the ASiatic specie, will
flee at the sight of a man. Not
so with 'Devil-Devil."
Before Mr.. Grove could get his
gun to his shoulder the great beast
charged.
With the enraged beast within six
feet Grove let go with his .404
Jeffries, an English make magazine
rifle, dealing a blow of 1000 pounds
Escaped Rolling
The bullet failed to stop the ele-
plant. Grove jumped and the beast
Numbered by, but turned to charge
again. Another bullet from the
JeffrieS rifle killed him.
During his years in Burma, Grove
has killed sixteen elephants. To the
United Press he said that the best
and surest way to kill one of the
beasts is to aim for an imaginary
line between the ears.
In Burma it costs fifty rupees to
shoot an elephant. On the other
