 Formerly gamblers guaranteeing extra fuel costs prompted the races, which were staged for the diversion of passengers on the long, tedious t'bI llty iOlll IlllSbui Sii lo 4NtW oI- cans. If fuel ran short there was al Wavs a plentiful supply of highly eombustible hams to be fed 10 the boilers, and there was no thought Of cost.

given to the lie Of the clubs. This
is, an angle which the sole Of the
club makes with the shaft, and the
club likely to suit the prospective
PLAYER can be determined by having
him assume a comfortable stance
and then seeing that the club is so
designed that the bottom Of the
blade lies evenly on the ground. II
it does not, the ball will not be hit
properly and something is likely
to go wrong with the stroke.
A tall man will find that club
with a lie approaching q right
angle is the best suited for his
particular case. while the shorter
man will prefer the Obtuse. The
different clubs I'm the set should
have identical lies: otherwise the
player will have to change his
stance with each stroke, and as a
consequence, lose much of his sell
confidence.
A players experience only will
solve the problem of the amount
OF loft, and the depth and length
of his clubs. The clubs that suit
one player will probably be en-
tirely inadequate for another, es-
pecially If he is Of different
stature.
Comparatively few golfers give
a second thought to reasoning out
the inequality of their game. Some
merely pass it off as due to their
own inability at the game. while
others blame the clubs when their
own poor playing is the fault. In
many cases, however, it is the fault
of the clubs having lies that do not
suit. and the "duffer" would co
well to give this a little thought.

gaily over private premises,

applause.

Ken Holloway being in fine form,
Chicago got but two hits off his
delivery and the Indians marked
their final appearance of the year
in Chicago with a 5 to win. But
four balls were driven out of the
field by the White Sox.
George Uhle stopped st. Louis and
the Tigers took an easy ia decision
from the Browns. BY their defeat st.
Louis retained only a four point
margin on third place.

! Without them he would be lost.
The same holds true of most anna
teur and professional golfers of note;
there are few things they rate more
highly than their clubs.
The big mistake the majority OF
beginners make in this respect is
that, after joining q golf club, they
buy a set of clubs before they have
even played a round. The result, OF
course, is that the clubs are gener-
ally not suitable. To play with these
ill-assorted implements certainly is
not conducive to a sound game of
golf. From time to time the player
may add a new club that strikes his
fancy, but the net result Is that he
generally stays in the "duffer" class,
because he does not realize the true
value Of buying clubs that fit his
game.
A newcomer Of golf should buy
his clubs only under the most
competent advice until he knows
something about the game.
After that point is reached he will
be better fitted to choose for him.

good professional would be we'll
worth while. Many of the leading
golfers Of today started out with but
one club in their supertoire. But
they did not succeed because Of this;
it was in spite Of 1t.
They undoubtedly would have
forged ahead far faster with a
complete set that suited their game.
When 1 first began knocking a golf
ball about in a cow pasture near
my home it was with an ancient
driver borrowed from a friend.
This club suited me fairly well,

Ter clubs are perhaps better
