Out Of KeelerS Golf Ba3LlN
tI Dedicated To Funeral Foursomes ka ,HMNA~
By o. B. KELLER

AS we stand on the Threshold Of
the golfing season OF 1929, let us
make a great resolve, and keep some
part of it-that we will play our
game with a reasonable speed, that
we will walk smartly between shots,
that we will not stand on the green
and scuabble while the match be-
hind is succumbing to apopleXy, and
that, if in site Of all this hypo-
thetical improvement, we yet find
a clear hole open ahead of us, we
will stand aside and signal the fol-
lowing match to come through.
These little points are not only
ethics of the game; they r plain
decency.
To be played well, golf does not
have to be played slowly. Bobby
Jones, rated at least the equal of
any golfer in the world has seen,
is the one fastest. The first time
I watched George Duncan, ! walked
four hoels with the tall Scot before
I could really say I had observed
him play a shot; he was like light
ming. To those who hang over their
puts and line them up from both
ends and pick up innumerable and
frequently imaginary obstacles, I
commend the advice of rough old
Alec Smith, Miss EN- quickl" That
was Alec's method. And Alec was
a good putter.
Time-wasting mannerisms rarely
60 with good golf, and almost al
ways develop beyond all reason.
One authority lays it down that half
the shots badly missed are caused by
hanging fire until concentration is
diffused. And, at the least, any
one able to get around a golf course
can walk briskly between shots.

Carl HubbeII, young New York Giant southpaw, is expected to win
a lot Of games for John McGraw this year. That, is the burden he is
put under for his sensational work last year.
Hubbeu came to New York from the Beaumont, Texas, team and
Immediately made a place for himself among the regular mounds
men. Some say that if he had come a month sooner it would have
meant the National league pennant for the Giants. A sharp curve
ball and a good hard" one are the tools he uses to put his act over
in the National league.
But for an oversight on the part Of George Morarty, manager Of
the Tigers last year, Hubbel would now be plying his trade with De-
tot. Last spring Carl trained with the Tigers but no one other than
himself knew that he was with the squad and his release to the
Beaumont team Of the Texas league soon came.
AS hard pressed as HubbeL knew the Tigers were for pitchers he
was not discouraged, but proceeded to pitch himself out Of the minors
into a Giant contract.

FORD TRACTOR,
IRISH MADE,
DUTY FREE

A decision Of far-reaching
Importance to American IN
dustry has just been made by
the Treasury Department.
It has been decided that
Fordson tractors, manufac-
tured by the Fords in their
Ireland plant, may be brought
into the United States without
payment Of duty under the
tariff.
Ford began production of%ractors
In his Cork plant soon after ne De,
gan production of the new modei
passenger car in his Detroit works
May Be widespread
Presumably. the Treasury's ruling
is applicable to the products OF
other American manufactures that
may be established in foreign coun.
tries. With General Motors ana
other large American interests es.
tablishing branches in Europe, and
buying ND foreign manufacturing
concerns--thus bringing them UNI
der American ownership and man
agement--the significance Of the
Treasury's duty free decision be-
comes readily apparent.
According to the understanding
here, Ford plans to make Ireland
the world center for his tractor
production. The American share
will be brought to United States
chiefly on Ford's ocean-golng ships,
which leave this country loaded
with passenger cars.
Only Seven Arrive
Thus far only seven tractors
manufactured in ireland have been
imported to this country, produc-
ton just having been launched.
The customs appraiser at New
York decided that these tractors
and spare parts should be assessed
tariff duty because they were not
agricultural implements. However,
on suggestion of the collector OF
customs, the customs bureau here
ruled that Fordson tractors should
be permitted free.entry as agricul-
tural implements.
y Pt0ltS AlCtotbh wa Aa y
a production OF about 81 900 tractors
the first year, most of which will go
into the European markets, it is
understood. At capacity. however,
an output OF about 125.000 is ex-
pected, probably 100000 OF W ich
would be imported to the United
States under the duty free ruling.
Cost Is Higher
Officials here understood that the
cost of the Irish-made tractors would
be somewhat higher than those for
merry produced In United States. al
though advances would be offset by
higher, horsepower and more effec.
tive equipment.
Ford also has assembly plants for
his passenger cars in many quarters
of the world. Recently he Joined In
terests with the famous I. G. Cherni'
cal and Dye Cartel in Germany.
