New Grip a Help.

IN ADDITION to the new sole idea
these clubs are equipped with the
most practical golf grip that has come
along in years. 1t is composition OF
cork and tWine, with the twine inter-
woven and impregnated in the cork
1t looks to be an ideal hot-weather
grip for men whose hands get slippery
in warm weather, and is, in fact, bet
ter than the traditional calf-hide grip
which comes as standard stuff on most
golf club. You can lay to it that much
of the improvement in scoring that
has been done over the last five or six
years has come from improved equip
ment-standardiZed sets of iron clubs
and improved wooden clubs. Wonder
if some day the manufacturer will
come out with a club which will nullify
all missed shots and convert topped
balls into screamers?
Last Spring they produced q club
with a slotted weight arrangement
which cut off any chance of slice
Now all they have to do is to make
club with which a bail cannot be
topped and Eureka, the game will be
made easy. 1t may come to that.
And then if they can find cups which
dc not move when fellow puts a
ball at them Utopia finally will have
arrived, par will be joke and golf
courses will be places Of JOY again.

Roland is an experimenter, O lad

He got this set of weapons and at once
commenced to score lower than he had
done in months. Whether it's the new

idea has something to do with it, even
he doesn't know. for Roland admits
the psychological effect of any new
club or clubs is to concentrate little
more, and he isn't sure whether it's the
concentration or the clubs themselves
which have helped his game. But the
fact is that he has been scoring better
with the new bats than he has done

Roland Mackenzie Scoring
Lower Since He Bought
FIanged Set.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

T<HERE hasn't been much change
in golf clubs over the last
three or four years, since one
u OF the leading manufacturers
came out with set of irons bearing
a great name in golf, these irons
being made with fianged sole. The
idea was to put the weight at the
bottom of the head on the theory that
the placement of weight would tend
to get the ball up quickly. But the
same manufacturer is out now with a
new stunt. After the introduction of
the flanged irons, most of the manu-
facturers selling matched sets prompt
ly produced irons with the same basic
principle.
The newest wrinkle in golf, which
retains the faneed sole idea and also
carries the name of prominent pro.
is something which hadn't found its
way into golf until Gene Sarazen got
busy with a file few years ago and
began whiting of the bottom of his
old sand wedge. The result was a
club whose entering edge was tilted
up above the bottom of the sole; a
club which would skid forward when
it encountered hard turf and wouldn't
dig in deep and far.

n INDIANAPOLIS, August 3.--A kid"
policeman, with an old patrol
mans woe-blistered feet, and an
Il 1s-year-old high school boy from
Brooklyn faced in the finals of the
National public links golf champion
ship today.
The kid" cop was Joe Coria of st.
Paul, Minnesota's open champion, and
the student, who intended to give a
lesson today instead of learning one,
was frankie Strafaci, second youngest
of five golfing brothers from the East
River bank. Their battle-ground for
the title was 36 holes over the Charles
E. Coffin course, one of the toughest
public layouts in the land.
Coria, attended by a foot specialist
and leaning on the arm of the Mime
sofa team manager, Uncle George
Caring, entered the finals yesterday
despite the torment of pain by de-
feating Bill Russell, the home town
pride of indianapolis, 4 and 2, whereas
Strafaci, a little fellow with black
wavy hair, gave Bob Tones, veteran
Long Beach player, lesson by crush
ing him under an avalanche of beau
tiful shots that made the Californian
quit after hitting his last tee shot.
The score was IL and 8.

INDIANAPOLIS galleryites who have

through the 195-player field with
consummate ease, were divided in
guesses as to which would win the
title lost by Dave Mitchell, Indian
apolis salesman in the third round.
Coria had a slight advantage in
tournament experience, reaching the
semi-finals last year, but Strafaci
played the better game yesterday, a
comparison in cards giving him a
Sup lead over q holes.
Fortunately for Coria, golf matches
are won by head and arms instead
Of feet. So troubled was he with
blisters and corns yesterday that he
had foot specialist attend him be-
tween morning and fternoon rounds.
However, he took the lead at the
fourth hole as Russell three-putted
and held it all the way as he hobbled
over the hills in 90-degree heat. Dead
approaches and Russells wildness
were the deciding factors in e match.
which ended when Russell. to the dis
may of his hometown rooters, tried
to make a stynie and knocked Joe's
ball into the thirty-fourth hole for
birdie.
