being ~smothered. Most people in
playing midiron take the club too
far back. This Is ruinous to direc-
ton as well as power.
The best exponent of iron play 7
know Of Is Tommy Armour, who won
the national open championship in
1927. He hits beautifully timed
and accurate ball. don't imagine
there are any better than he in this
particular line.
The best nidiron shot I ever saw
was not made by Armour, but by a
chap named Fred Kennedy, who
might have become known as one of
the immortals of golf had business
not taken him away from the links.
We were playing on the Missisagau
course, at Toronto, some years ago.
It was a foursome of men pretty
closely matched in ability. My part

We went out for another tussle In

wonderful shot was $50 yards long.

hollow on the down slope of q
hili-a very bad lie, particularly so
IA WILLS CuoCs AlUtIleE I'LL rose De-
fore Kennedy, and he needed height
as we'll as distance to clear that
mound and reach the green. I
frankly didn't see how he could do
it with the lie he had.
Kennedy cut into that ball with
all his power. It rose high on q
dead line with the pin, sailed over
the intervening traps, and landed
plump on the green within reason
able putting distance for q birdie 3.
1t was q marvellous shot. None
better could have been made. I'm
sorry to report that after q shot like
that Fred lost the hole, anyway. He
missed his putt, while I sank mine
for the birdie he should have had.
There are many instances Of great
iron shots being responsible for win
ming championships. No one will
forget the one Cruickshank made on
the eighteenth at Inwood to tie
Bobby Jones for the national open
championship in 1923; nor the one
Jones himself made on that very
hole the next day to take the title
away from Cruickshank In the
playoff.

Cochran Wins Over Matsuyama,
4OO-373, to Tie for 1872 Lead

BY the Associated Press.
N Y EW YORK, February 12.-Kin-
drey Matsuyama's bold bid for
the world 1872 balkline billiards
/ crown has been checked by
Welker Cochran, who calls
Hollywood, Calf, his home.
Cochran, winner of the last tourna-
ment in Washington in 1927, rallied ir
the closing innings of his struggle with
the little Japanese last night and won,
400 to 373.
The Californian's victory put him in
has three victories and one defeat. A
s.ep behind is young Jake Schaefer OF
Chicago, perhaps the outstanding IA
two matches out of three. The other
three contestants, Edouard Horemans OF
Belgium, Eric Hagenlacher of Germany
and Felix Grange of France, all passed
from the picture during the first week
of play in the round-robin tournament.
After leading the field from the start
and running up three straight victories
over Horemans, Grange and Hagen
lacher, the little Japanese, Matsuyama,
now is in a precarious position. His
contest with Cochran was nerve
wracking affair and Matsuyama may
not be on his game when he faces
Schaefer in another crucial match this
afternoon. A defeat for any one of the
three contenders now will eliminate
him. Schaefer, If he can beat the
4-foot 11-inch Japanese, could win the
title by beating Cochran in the final
match of the tournament tomorrow

he can get is tie with Cochran, even
should the Californian beat Schaefer
tomorrow night.
At any rate, either Matsuyama or
Schaefer will be eliminated from the

four. innings. At this point Matsuyama,
with characteristic courage, put togeth-
er runs of 81, 16 and 122 to lead, 255
to 210, at the close of the seventh in

battle for Cochran. Leading by 81 to
263 at the end Of the fourteenth in

Although obviously off his game,
Cochran by dint of great effort, ran

\HERE Is such a thing as trying

Young Clarence w. Taft, who
recently won The Evening Star


Young Clarence w. Taft, who
i recently won The Evening Star
individual mems championship,
has learned the truth of this ancient
and accepted maxim of sports.
When Clarence made his sensational
rise to fame more than a month ago he
claimed an average above 100 in George
town Church League and his team was
leading the race Since then his aver
age has dropped to slightly better than
los and his team, st. Adams Episcopal,
has dropped into second place. His de-
cline has had a telling effect on the
teams showing.
Trying too hard to hold the phenom-
email pace set in The Star tournament
and attempting to live up to his cham
pionship rating, is the accepted reason
among bowling authorities for Taft's re-
versal of form. This is one of the great
est handicaps any bowler has to over
come.
Taft will face an experienced rival
Saturday night when he meets Bot
