Harrison r. Jimny) Johnston,
the star amateur Of the Middle
West, plays his irons with low ira
jectory, but with tremendous bite.
He actually strokes the ball on the
dovnswing, ere his clubhead reaches
the lowest point Of its arc with the
face of the iron closed a bit at
contact.
Such an iron is most difficult to
master because ones clubhead goes
through the ball from inside the line
when contact is being made. Thus:
unless the face Is closed the ball
would be pushed well of line to the
right. The shot demands very firm
wrists as one cuts large divot in
playing 1t.
A ball so struck carries low and
gets its bite or stop from being
pounded into the turf and then
squeezed out by the impact Of club
head. No one should attempt mas
tering It but a star.

With Holcomb Ward, now one of the
holders Of the veterans national doubles
title, Dwight Davis won the national
doubles championship 80 years ago, re-
tanning 1t In 1900 and 1901, in 1889 he
rated No. 5 in the national singles rank
ing and No. the following year. And
he is still going strong.
CIothier Champion 20 Years Ago.
William Clothier. always a contender
at Seabright. was the national singles
champion in 1906. % years ago. He Is
man to beat him Just the same. And
Karl Behr's prime goes back to 1905
when he ranked No. 5; he stood No. 8
two years later and was last ranked in
1915. Yet he is still in competition and
getting a lot Of fun out Of the game.
Norris williams. still a dangerous OPP
ponent in singles for any player when
he is on his game, was first ranked II
years ago in 1912. when he was placed
second to Maurice Mclaughlin, the
champion. It was in 1915 that he won
his national title. He has not been rated
since 1928 but no one gets more sport
out Of the game than he.
Lessons to be derived from the old
guard would seem to be that if you do
not care for tennis unless you stand
among the first 10, you had better con-
centrate on golf in your early thirties.
But If you love to play for the sake Of
the game you may play as long as you
care to play.
