The self-hypnosis in golf, or the
mental inhibltions that come up, are
among the most peculiar features of
the game-something hard to explain.
Some time ago I was watching a first
class golfer hitting his tee shot. He
had decided hitch at the top of his
swing with wooden clubs, a habit of
completing his back swing. and then
suddenly lifting his hand two or three
inches before hitting the ball. This
naturally brought about uncertain
wooden club play He had no sign of
this in his practice swing. He could
take one practice swing after another
that was practically perfect. But, as
he explained, with the ball to be struck
1t was something entirely different. Once
he reached the top of the back swing.
he simply had to take that extra hitch
before starting the down swing. And
there was no device he could employ
that would stop it. 1t had become a
mental habit that couldn't be broken.
Jerry Travers had something of the
same fault with his wooden clubs, and
Jerry also found 1t almost impossible
to stop. with all the marvellous mental
and nerve control he employed in golf
In the same way I noticed another
first-class player who found it impos-
sible to take more than a half swing.
or at best only a trifie more. In the
same way. he had a perfect practice
swing. The club head would cover the
full arc. and even drop down a bit.
His practice swing was free, full and
replete with power But with the ball
to be struck, he found it beyond his
power to take this same fun swing,
shortening the arc to such an extent
that it cost him valuable distance.
He admitted that he had been caught
and held by this habit for several years.
and there was nothing he could do to
correct it. It was a habit that had be-
come fixed in his mind and could not
be dislodged. He had tried every known
system. but the short back swing took
control of the situation when there was
a ball to be hit.

Good news for those anglers who visit
Canada for the salmon angling season
was received last week from New Bruns-
wick. The report states that the season
has opened, with bright sea-run Allan
tic silver salmon rising TO the fly earlier
than usual, the finest fish that have
been taken from New Brunswick waters
in years being caught.
The first salmon have already been
taken by fly fishermen on the ST. John
River, and now come reports of the first
catches being made on the famous
ReStigouche River. To the Montreal
Salmon Club at Sunnyside, on the
lower Restigouche, goes the honor of
getting the first salmon of the season
from that stream. It was lured BY the
ny cast OF James Mcleod and weighed
81 pounds.
About $50 small-mouth fry were
planted in the waters of the Tidal Basin
last week. These fish were given the
writer by the United States Bureau of
Fisheries, who Immediately transferred
them to the Basin. When these small
fish were first placed in the Basin they
seemed to be afraid to separate and all
huddled together. but after several
hours they began to separate and went
in different directions
Some violations of the bag limit in
the Tidal Basin have been observed
For those who FISH there the regulations
governing the catch of fish Is herewith
given. Five bass, five crappie and five
Dream.
There are some youngsters who visit
the Basin each day and group their
catch, one of the party perhaps CATCH
ing nothing and another taking many
more than his bag limit. One day last
week one young man was observed with
string Of eight crappie. and when
questioned about them said he did not
know there was any bag limit, and then
said he had not caught them all but
some of them belonged to his fishing
companions. The same young angler
was later observed on the same day
still landing crappie. and when asked
how many he had caught, replied he
did not know. The park police have
been instructed to enforce the law in
regard to the taking of different species
of fish from the Basin, and each angler
is advised to keep his own string and
aucdd any trouble.
