DUTTING tips or hints are plenti-
- full and easy to come by, for at
one time or another every golfer
has discovered" the secret Of
good putting, and, in the expanding
fullness Of his joyous heart, hes has
made it his duty to enlighten all within
the reach OF his voice. Most average
golfers are willing to admit that they
know nothing about playing long iron
shot or a delicate pitch, but a lot Of
them can putt with any one" And
always his method is the only one and
must be followed in every detail.
1t is perfectly true that any golfer
starting out has better chance to be-
come expert with his putter than with
any other club. The mechanics are
here for individual expression and the
accommodation Of physical differences.
I do not believe in prescribing the
putting stroke in a perfectly definite
inflexible way. I think it is better to
define general purpose, leaving to the
individual the business Of accomplish
ing it according to his own ideas.
DUT here is a putting plan which has
- never failed to help bring my
putting back to form when it has
gone eff. and, SO far as I know, has
never failed to help other people who
have tried it 1t has the virtues Of
being simple and objective-it Is easy
to take hold of, with something to sink
your teeth in.
1t is this: When making a putt of
any length, first select carefully the
line which you want the ball to follow;
second, align the face of your putter ex-
actly square to this line and, third,
think of nothing but hitting straight
through along the line on which you
want the ball to start
1t is possible that this may sound a
bit worse than simple At first, it
may seem like nothing at all. But.

Bobby Jones Lays Down Simple
Formula for Putting; Declares
1t Never Has Failed to Help

it requires far more effort than else
where to keep the attention upon the
all-important performance of hitting
the ball. In 9 cases out Of 10. the
player diffuses his effort. He fails to
conclude the operation of deciding upon
the line before he begins to swing the
club. Let him do one thing at a
time and finish and dismiss one detail
before he busies himself with another.
A CCURATE striking Of the ball Is
IA the first necessity, for without it
the most exact appraiSement of
slope and speed will count for nothing.
Most bad puts are indecisively struck
and the tndecision comes from the con-
fusion in the players mind when he at
temptS to execute the stroke before he
has decided what he wants to do. He
cannot expect to strike the ball truly
when he is uncertain of the correct line
or, when he Is worrying about irregu-
larities in the green. These things are
the cause Of looking up. f1inching, jab-
bing,. and almost everything else that
can be done to spoil the putt. Once
end of that; the next thing is to hit
the ball. not in the general direction Of
the hole with more hope than assur-
ance, but to the exact spot which has
been selected, be it right or wrong.
I feel some little hesitancy in stress
ing this as plan at all, because it is
SO obviously the logical procedure
Many players will no doubt insist that
this is what they always do, when as a
matter Of fact their methods are good
deal more haphaZard I only ask that
they play few rounds, making sure
on each green that they follow this
procedure to the letter. I have never
known it to fail to help.

Three BY Melchers.
There are three figures by Carl
Melchers, among them especially well
known THE Bride" And there are
three paintings by John La Fargo, two
Of which are of very unusual character.
One Is q pond lily, painted in water
color, lovely beyond words in spirit and
rendition. the other is wreath of
flowers, "The Brides Wreath" painted
in oils, painting which Mr.. Gellatly
himself especially priced.
Also of personal interest Is a little
portrait in oils by Eleanor Greatorex of
New York of the first Mrs. Gellatly-nee
Edith Rogers sympathetic and sensi-
tive face, and, as a collectors mile
post, small landscape painted by
James Crawford Thorn entitled THE
Acorn" which was the first picture
acquired by Mr.. Gellatly.
Apparently Mr.. Gellatly was more at
tracted by figure than landscape paint
ings, as the former pnedominate. This
is interesting psychologically, as the
collector was more or less recluse.
But, obviously, landscape was not ex-
cluded. BY John Inness there is a
painting Of Niagara quite out of the
usual. (The National Gallery Evans
