Pittsburgh felt the slump and with
a club finishing last in 1891 was forced
to cut salaries. The players were told
$4,000 was the limit and all of them
accepted. The team with Mack, as first
string catcher, rose to sixth place in
1892 and to second position in 1898.
Prospects were bright when the 1894

Business was picking up. The club

One day Mack, now 80 and sea-

SAVING NEW STICKS
FOR NEXT SEASON
Irons Devised by Him Are
for Use Against Larger,
Lighter Ball.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

DHILADELPHIA, Pa, Septem-
Der 18.-The same weapons
i that served Bob Jones SO
valiently at st. Andrews, at
Hoylake and at Interlachen will
be in the great Georgian's hands
again when he goes forth in quest
of the National amateur golf
championship at Merton Cricket
Club next Monday.
Bob has a new set of irons, devised by
himself and made by Tom Stewart the
ancient cleek cutter of st. Andrews, that
are a rather radical departure from the
ordinary run of clubs But he is saving
them for next year when the larger and
lighter ball will be IN play and for the
amateur championship will stick to his
. old fayorites.
Calamity Jane" Boh's famous putter,
no longer has place in his large leather
bag. Old Calamity has been retired
with full honors because she became a
bit too light for Jones' large and capable
hands In her place is another wry-
necked putter of the same design, but
some few grams heavier in weight.
The new putter is known as the
Daughter Of Calamity Jane" and Is
Just as deadly as her mother. Calamity
is older by some years than Jones, for
she was brought over from Carnoustle
by Jimmy Maiden about the time Bob
was born. Jones used her for 10 years
and now she is worn thin and shiny.
The new putter is duplicate of the old
even to the placing of the whipping OF
the shaft.
Another famous club in the Jones
armament is the big. hulger-faced driver
known as JEANNE Deans. JEANNE came
from the shop of Jack White at Sum
ningdsle, England, and was purchased
in 1926. She is the sole survivor of l6
drivers Bob purchased at that time and
has been his favorite for five seasons.
Deep burrows are worn in the sole OF
the driver from the contact of the club
against wooden tees as Bob reels off his
powerful wooden shots, and new horn
inlay has been made on the face three
times JEANNE Deans is rather disre-
putable looking, but she still is power
full old club and Jones will not part
with her.
Bobs brassie was new this Spring and
also his spoon-and they were made by
Frank Ball, the professional of the East
Lake Club at Atlanta. Bobs No.
spoon is a British import and was picked
up by him at the shop of George Dun
csn, the famous Scotch professional at
Wentworth Waters.
All of his irons are old, with the ex-
ception of the sand wedge" Bob is
very fond of this newly invented exca-
vator and it was with that club he
played the famous bunker shot on the
sixteenth hole of the final round of the
British open at Hoylake that won him
the championship. The sand wedge also
stood him in good stead in the United
States open at Interlachen.
