Air and Ground Conditions
Make Summer Shots Too
Short for Game.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.
"AKE a longer club; one that
will get you there.

will get you there.
That time-Worn injunction,
a familiar phrase to the pro-
feSsionals as the weather grows colder
and golf courses get longer, can well
become the battle cry of the amateur
clan who do not hang up their golf
clubs with the first frost.
For most players these days OF late
Fall consistently are short with their
second shots, and waste anywhere
from S to 10 strokes per round
through not being up to the hole with
their irons.
Call it lack of judgment or not. the
fact remains that if your average
amateur player would take a club
longer than he needs for the shot de-
manded, he will get better results and
his scores will improve. particularly
these days, when the flight Of the
ball is short and the roll is materially
curtailed.
The reason Is that most folks take
a club they think will just reach the
objective If they hit the ball right
But up comes Old Man Experience
with the question: do you always
hit the ball right?" And he answers
his own question in a negative way.

Fingleton to return to the wickets
after he had been technically run

to run up the score of 672 runs for
eight wickets in test trial against

Fingleton had scored Sc runs when
he stepped out Of his crease to pat
down a bit Of turf and the wicket
keeper whipped of the balls, appeal

Fingleton walked away Woodruff ran
after him and insisted that he re-

Don Bradman, Australia's famous

Big Sington Bangs EN-.

CNGTON is getting his shot at q

showed for Atlanta when it played
the Nationals in an exhibition series
last Spring. Then the big boy who had
performed so brilliantly on the grldiron
for 'Bama put up great game Of base
ball for the Crackers.
In one game Of the series the massive
Sington right-handed couple Of great
hits to pile up runs for his side, then
with one hand made spectacular shoe
top catch in left field to shut of
brace of Washington scores. 1t was
enough to make Manager Cronin think
Sington might be worth a big-league
trial later on.
Sington certainly looked batter in
his first minor league season. With
Beckley in 1882 he led the Midatlantic
League with a stick average OF 1858.
He got a good start with Atlanta last
year, too, but when compelled to play
after he had sprained a wrist his
batting slumped to 1852.
Sington moved from the Atlanta club
to Albany in trade this Winter which
may prove something of break for
