One OF the most common adaEes
heard on the golf course is never
up, never in 1t is applied rightly
most often to puts. Certain it is
II the putt Is too weak to reach the
hole it will never drop, Yet it is
uncommon TO see player who con-
sistently puts enough steam into his
puts. Count them up and you will
find moro puts played short than
played too strongly, Especially is
this true when the greens are wet.
Those who fall into the habit of
playing their puts short make it
hard for themselves on the greens.
1t is quite as easy to sink two
foot putt from the long side OF the
hole as it is to run it down after it
has stopped that distance short Of
the cup.
Taking lesson from some Of the
professionals. a few players have
overcome this habit of putting short
by using different putter for long
puts than they employ for the
shorter ones. But that innovation
is not likely to prove popular and
most golfers will prefer to worry
along with one putter.
But it is not only the puts that
so short. The same rule applies
with equal force to approaches.
More of them stop before they are
even with the cup than so by.
Golfers are always fearful that they
Will everyday their pitch shots with
the result that they. more often than
not. do not play them hard enough.
At this season Of the year, a pitch,
with back spin on the ball. vii, not

rast the cup may not be as desira Bic
as though il had dropped dead to

Short Approaches
The foregoing advice is intended
to apply to the short approaches. If
the average player gets anywhere on
the green from any distance be-
yond 40 yards. he is doing as we'll
as may be expected. Usually he
counts those longer shots lucky ones.
But often what really amount 70
approach shots are made from COM
paratively short distances. They
ought to be played fairly accurately.
4 golfer who makes good APP
proaches and lays his first putt
well up to the cup is dangerous
opponent on any course no matter
" he cannot drive a long ball. More
shots arc fritted away around the
greens than from the tees.

only help in getting the short game

Speaking
of Sports

Considera BILE praise was melted out
to Acting Superintendent Clyde Ell
lingwood and the other employees of
the park board for the wonderful
condition in which the two baseball
diamonds at Walnut Hin park have
been placed.
Opinions voiced by many OF the
leaders of New Britain industrial
plants who are also rabid baseball
fans, stated that they had never be-
fore seen the playing fields in such
good condition at the opening of the
Industrial league.
Among those who appeared to be
greatly pleased and satisfied with
the work OF the department, was
Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa, who tossed
the first ball in both games, Con-
trary to the usual procedure, the
mayor put one down the alley and
suffered the usual consequences.
Now that the Connecticut A. A.
L. stands suspended and chded, We
wonder just when the officials of the
national body will step on the gas
and give the thousands of Connecti-
cut fight fans some satisfaction as
to aether they will have the OPP
portunity of againg seeing amateur
fights here.
There isn't any doubt but that the
charge Of comm ercialism' in con-
nection with the amateur sport i'll
this state was proved at the inves'i-
cation. but we would like to arise
and ask I'm what state is the ANA
teur game not being commercial
ized?"
Murray Hurlbert, national presi-
dent, has himself given plenty OF
people good laugh through his
handling OF the recent Charlie Pad
dock case. He wasn't so strict in the
case OF the star sprinter as he was
with the Connecticut A. A. L.. and
he may have had his own reasons
for his actions.
There Is a strong feeling among
the amateur promoters that i. some
action is not taken In the near fu-
ture, they will conduct their tourna-
ments nnder a new organization
which will operate independently OF
the \. A. L.
There Is movement on foot now
among the promoters Of the various
clubs about the state. to Join togeth-
or and start the summer shows.
This movement has been caused by
the evident hardness of tho \. A.
L. national officials In taking action
upon the Connecticut case. 4 board
appears that this board. which is TO
supervise amateur sports in Connec-
tcut, will probably be named some
time before Christmas.
Connecticut has a stigma attach
Cd to its name a. far as amateur
sports is concerned, and we would
suggest that similar Investigations
be started in other states. We are
willing to bet that II the truth wa.
known, there would be few places
where the Simon pures' would be
found to be any purer than they
we're in this state.
