both arms would be crooked. Next,
like Bobby. he was to keep the right
arm in, while moving the left elbow
away from the body so that 1t would
point toward the hole-perhaps not
directly, but almost directly toward
it. Then he was to let the left hand
play q prominent part in the stroke.
His putting improved at once, and,
with consistent practice is. con-
tinuing good.
This left elbow position Of Bobby's
has good logic behind 1t. With the
elbow so placed, any tendency Of
the left hand to turn over, or to pull
in toward the body, is counteracted.
The clubhead goes straight through.
With the right arm close to the
body, any loose arm action is pre-
vented, too.

Of the term are not always
aware that it was once quite seriously
applied to q golf club.
Horace Hutchinson, writing some
time in the COS, tells us something OF
the early stages In the development OF
golf clubs. Particularly interesting is
his description Of the evolution of the
brassie.
In the early days there were no irons;
all clubs were of wood, even those in
tended to be used for short approach
work. The set consisted of tee CLUB,
an assortment of what we would call
spoons, of varying lofts and lengths.

were of nearly one shape. with long,
slender heads, differing only in the de-
gree of loft on the face. No matter
where the ball might be found, IN long
grass, or bunker, or, as often happened,
in a sheep track or cart rut. 1t had TO
be played out with one Of those long
headed wood clubs.

using these clubs from unfavor-

invent a niblic to make the rough work
a little easier. The old niblic did not

to use from cart ruts. sheep tracks and

of the spoons would not go. and Its

with a card of SO. started the final
round 5, 3, she faded thereafter before
the steadiness of the title holder and
finished seven shots back, scoring
another SO or a total of 1876.
Miss Pope had scored a 80 on the
opening day. Virginia Williams Of Con-

short head would be useful for playing
out Of rutS and the like which were not
drastic enough to require the sacrifice
entailed by the use of the niblic. Such
a club was made and almost immedi-
ately became popular. Mr. Hutchin-
son tells us that 1t was first called a
wooden niblic. 1t subsequently came to
be called brassy when a brass plate
was screwed onto the bottom to protect
1t from damage when used from rough
lies.
n TEANWHILE, an additional iron
VI club had come into use 1t was
called a lofting iron. and was de-
signed especially for playing out of
rough grass. Apparently, for a long
time no one used this club for anything
but trouble work. The story Is that
young Tom Morris was the first player
of prominence to make general use Of
the iron for approaching, and that it
was his success with it that was re-
sponsible for the iron superseding the
"baffy" with which these short shots
had formerly been played. Young Tom
went a long way for those days by
sometimes even approaching with his
niblic.
We accept our modern clubs with
scarcely q thought. But it took a long
time and a lot of experience to bring
them to the point where they are today.
In the Royal and Ancient Golf Club
there is COLLECTION containing a speci-
men Of almost every club known to have
been made to overcome certain of the
golfers difficulties. There is a niblic
with hole in its center to let the
sand through; there is an iron with
ribs on its sole to keep the face square
to the ball: there are countless ex-
amples Of the different attempts to
improve the implements of the game
and to find ways of overcoming the
hazards of the course with the club
rather than with the skill of the player.
Golfers have always sought, and prob
ably always will seek. the club which
plays the shot for them. OF course, it
is hopeless quest, but the effort will
continue to give us better clubs.

r UNTIL the Earl of Kimberley
broke out in the British
~ prints with blast on the
subject, the sport of polo
was not very much concerned
with professionalism or practlceS
connected thereto.
There are no amateur nor PROBES,
sional rules governing the hlgh-goal
phase of the game, either here or
abroad. The requirements are that the
PLAYER be a gentleman in good stand
ing. that he know his way about in fast
playing company and that he have the
mounts or a sponsor who will see to 1t
that he is properly provided with last
ponies.
If a wealthy sportsman. keenly in
terested in the game and its COM
petitiye angles, wishes to provide the
means for a poor but sterling athlete
to participate, it's quite all right.
But the Earl of Kimberley thinks
things haye gone bit too far. the stew

"NUR polo today in some cases

declared the Earl.
Certain players sell themselves and
are bought. Certain patrons, rich pa
irons, bid for these players and the
highest bidder gets them.
This state Of things has discouraged
many young sni promising players from
taking UP the game seriously because
they felt that they had no chance in
present-dav roo without hired assas-
sin on their side.
"This question ,uds brought to the
notice OF the Hurlinghum Club Polo
Committee and tn spite OF strong
oDpositton from small section. the
Stewards haze definitely decided to
nut an end to it after this season.
The Only reason that they have not
done so now at the beginning of the

been entered into between patrons and

In rebuttal, the defense asks: 'f

nected with polo. Is the player to be
stigma tized and ruled out of the

And adds: "It is nonsense for him

able to point out to him that
he was standing SO far away from
