As Told to Alan Gould.
No. 9-Putting.
TN putting it is essential to be well
anchored in comfortable posi-
ton.
After getting a smooth stroke,
with an easy follow through (for
distance putting, it is just mat
ter of practice and getting the prop
er line.
There are, however, really two
types Of putting, one for short dis
tances, the other for anything be-
yond 10 or IL feet.
The short putt is more of tap
stroke, but it should be made never
theless with a smooth motion. using
the wrists only and with the arms
well anchored to the sides or the
hips.
I have a habit myself Of anchor
ing my right elbow to the side to
gain steadiness.
The long putt is a swing. For
accuracy usually try to pick spot
8 or 10 feet from my ball. using
this spot as a direction guide. Any
golfer will find this is a big help in
keeping to the proper line.

 seconds; Amos Statuk, Eskimo, was
 third, one hour, 56 minutes and q seconds; Fred Topkok, a native,
 was fourth, one hour, 58 minutes and 35 seconds.
 Among the 14 entrees were teams from Nome, Dime Creek, Deering,
 Nulato, White Mountain and two from Mary's 1gloo. x.
 Joe Stickman from Nulato, who lost his leaders week ago en route
 here, was handicapped with a new
 leader picked up here. He expected another leader via plane Monday from Nulato for the Nome cham pionship race April 8. Stickman's time was two hours, nine minutes and 45 seconds.
 The race was run over the most favorite trail and weather condi- tions but in two minutes and a few seconds longer than Leonard Sep
 pala'S record time few years ago. The race started on the ice in Boring Sea opposite Nome before
 the largest crowd in years, in zero
 temperature but sunshine. Auto
 mobiles, dog teams and airplanes
 were all moving on the frozen sea at the same time and at Golovin
 was the greatest aggregation of speedy dog teams ever to have as sembled.
 Carey, the winner, was the 18th
 man to start; he lost five minutes
 by his team turning off the track
 at the start; he was also forced to
 pass all teams ahead of him other
 wise he would have broken Sep pala'S record.
 John Bordon, Chicago millionaire
 and nationally known sportsman, was the sponsor for this great an- nual race years ago when visiting
 Nome after being wrecked in Ber- ing Sea expedition vessel after Pol ar bear.
