CALLED GREATEST
FAULT ON GREENS
Shorey, Who Is Star at It,
Says Concentration, Loose
Grip Main Factors.
BY w. r. McCALIITM

ASs NACSnAAONA.
TAKE it from one of the finest
putters In the business Of
whacking golf balls, successful
putting depends on only one
major factor. For good many years
Mel Shorey, East Potomac Park pro,
has been busting par and cracking
hearts with q series OF laundering
puts that dumped into the cup from
any and all angles.
Not ranked as one OF the longer
hitters from the tee, or one Of the
more spectacular iron players Shorey
has remained up in the forefront of
the local pair brigade by his almost
uncanny knack of getting down the
long puts. And he very seldom misses
a short one
Whats this putting business all
about?" we asked Mel How do you
consistently putt so well and is there
any one thing on which you concen-
trate before you stroke a putt"
Putting Half Of Game.
CURE there is" said Mel Gosh,
isn't it hot. But figure that at
least half the shots you play on any
golf course are played within 80 yards
Of the pin. II you're hot from that
distance. like that sun up there, you
can make few fairway mistakes and
still score. So I've more or less worked
on my putting. I guess get my
share Of the long ones.
obviously there isn't any single
item of grip or stance which will
make a man good putter. I've seen
good putters with every kind of stance
and grip, some in front of the ball,
others behind it. Personally I like
to get well over the ball. and use
the reverse overlapping grip.
But there is one thing that. will
ruin any mans putting stroke. That's
tension and too firm a grip on the
club. When I'm stroking the ball
we'll feel that the putter Is very
light in my fingers, that I have barely
enough grip on it to prevent turning
Of the blade and that it all flows into
ope smooth motion, starting in the
finger tips.
Tension, from my slant on this
putting business, ruins the whole
stroke. You don't grip tack-hammer
tight to drive tack. If you did you
might miss the tack There's no
reason why you should grip your
putter tight to hit the ball few feet.
And when tension creeps into your
putter like you'd grip 5-pound ham,
mer you lose the touch and feel you
must have to get the right line and
the right distance.

Worked Big Grid Games.

Capt. Paul J. Dashiell, U. S. N.
who died at Annapolis recently, was
not the lone officiating figure with
which obituary notices credited him
with being. The single arbiter dated
back before Paul Dashiell's time. On
the other hand, he did serve in the
two-man era, referee and umpire.
In the important Big Three games,
running from 1893 to 1900. with Yale
and Harvard, and from 1893 to about
1908, with Princeton and Yale. Capt.
Dashiell figured as umpire with that
famous official, DR.. w. A. Brooks of
Harvard, '87, often occupying the
referee post.
So far as this writer can find,
Dashiell first appeared as umpire in
an important game in the Princeton
Cornell contest of 1893, which Nassau
won by heavy score. and Dr. Brooks
was referee. Thereafter he figured in
all the championship games of Yale,
Harvard. Princeton and Pennsylvania
In the Princeton-Penn game of 1893
he reversed positions with Dr. Brooks,
serving as referee and the doctor as
umpire.
Odiciating in contests between major
and minor teams Of his day, he was
likely to act as referee. but in the big
battles he was invariably umpire In
cidentally, it was in 1894 that three
men were added to the officiating staff
when nnesman was called into being.
Henry May Coach Jayhawkers.
r UMOR persists that Gwinn Henry,
called from the University Of New
Mexico to conduct athletics at Kansas.
eventually will take over the job of
coaching Jayhawker elevens. If this
proves to be true, it will be tribute
to Henrys past association with foot
ball In the Missouri Valley. when he
taught at Missouri and so participated
In the golden age of gridiron play at
the Columbia institution.
Looking back over Henry's career at
Missouri, much is found in the way of
evidence as to his ability to teach foot
ball Starting not too well IN his first
season, 1928. Missouri in 1924 lost
only to Nebraska and Southern Cali
9ornia, beating, among others, her arch
rival, Kansas, 14-0. Next year Kansas
and Nebraska were beaten and the
eleven lost only to Oklahoma.
In 1927 Kansas administered Mis-
souri's one defeat, and the following
year compensation for several beat
ings was found In the overthrow of
the Jayhawkers. Missouri tied Ne
braska, TT, In 1929 and was beaten,
5-6, by Kansas State. Otherwise
Henrys eleven made a clean sweep of
the valley.
The year 1880 was bad one, grant
ing Nebraska and Oklahoma were tied.
because Of several defeats, including a
bad walloping by Kansas. And 1881
was worse, with victories only over
Drake and Oklahoma. Those two poor
years, due much more to inadequate
material than to any lesion in Henry's
ability to coach, proved too heavy a
weight for him to shoulder, so he de-
parted to other fields.

ADVERTISING
SELLS COMMODITIES

Before Thanksgiving this year
progressive food stores of the coun-
try carried on an aggressive turkey
sales campaign. More turkeys were
sold than ever before, and at prices
that were attractive to consumer as
we'll as producers.
Sales methods varied somewhat
In different localities-but the par
ticipating stores seemed to appre-
ciate the value and necessity of
newspaper advertising. ror exam
pie, here Is an excerpt from the re-
port of one large chain system:
Newspaper advertising was car
ried in all the principal metropoli-
tan and rural newspapers In our
territory. Before our Thanks
giving demands had been filled there
was a decided scarcity of turkeys of
the top grade in our market" An
other chain reported: I'VE have ad-
vertised turkey in approximately $50
newspapers this week as well as
100000 circulars which were dis
tributed to the consuming public's
homes. Present indications are that
we sold about 30 per cent more tur-
keys for Thanksgiving this year
than year ago."
Newspapers have been a potent
factor in other food sales cam
paigns-such as the recent beef and
veal drive. Similar future cam
paigns-of which the first will fea-
ture grapefruit-are planned.
1t is apparent that this is good
business all around-for the farmer,
for the merchant, for the newspaper
and for the consumer. In the past,
scme retailers have attempted to
eliminate newspaper advertising -
and they have usually found that it
was the poorest kind of economy.

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Trend of the cabbage market ha.
been downward for the past few
weeks with declines of 81 to SO pei
ton in some markets and producine
sections, but there was little further
change during the holiday week
Competition of southern cabbage is
increasing and prices declining for
Texas and Florida receipts. Ship
ments from Texas are expected to
increase, thus limiting sales of cas-
tern cabbage except in nearby mar
kets. Holding in western New York
are thought to be lighter than last
season, but slow demand brings a
dull sagging market. Sales range
SIS to $50 per ton for sacked stock
in the Rochester district and soc to
75c per so pounds in eastern mar
kets. Cabbage growers in Texas are
reported receiving only $40 per ton
in bulk.
Demand for celery Is very slow.
Much of the stock remaining in cold
storage is in only fair condition.
Most lots now being shipped are
moving on consignment. Holdings in
"a western New York cold storages
December IL were 59.567 crates,
compared with 108,581 a year ago.
The canning factories are still the
principal buyers of carrots. Ship
pers have reported a few sales at
$32 per ton bulk in producing Sec
tions, showing a slight advance
above the prices of the week before.
City markets are steady at Use to 81
per bushel.
Steady markets were the rule for
sweet potatoes. Maryland and Della
ware stock sells at 75c to $1.10 per
bushel in most eastern markets.
Some lots from Eastern Shore of
Virginia sold at soc to 75c and
sweets of the Jersey type brought
SLIPS to $3.50.
Apple Market Draggy
Supplies of apples are light to
moderate in city markets and prices
about steady. Some eastern and
country shipping points
reported small price declines. owing
to. slow demand after the holiday
trade had been supplied.
Greetings sold at $1.10 to $1.15
per bushel in the Rochester dis
trict, Ben Davis csc. and Mcintosh
$1.60. Some fruit is not keeping |
we'll in storage, particularly Green
ings, and holders were disposing of |
such lots at a slight reduction.
There is practically no demand for
export. Prices of standard varieties
of apples follow a general jobbing |
range of s1.25 to s1.50 per bushel in
eastern markets, these including |
Greening. and York. Eas-
tern Delicious sell at s1.50 to $1.S5. |
Stayman $1.50 to $1.75, and occa-
;ionally tops of So or more are
luoted for Mcintosh.
Cranberries for the holiday trade
held at steady jobbing prices, rang
ng mostly $3.75 to 81 25 per u bar

Would The Truth Hurt?

In recent statement. Vice-Chair.
man Basil Manly of the Federal
Power Commission, expressed the
hope that municipalities operating
their own electric plants will adopt
the uniform system of accounting
drawn up by the Commission for
application to private systems.
Until municipal plants are requir-
ed to adopt the standard accounting
methods that the law prescribes for
private plants, 1t will be impossible
to fairly Judge them and arguments
as to their merit or demerit will go
fruitlessly on and on.
AS a matter of fact, manp NUM-
cipal plants operate In the dark so
far as their bookkeeping systems are
concerned. These systems leave
room for dubious statements of con-
dition, dwarf or enlarge same facts
and hide others. They make 1t next
to impossible for an unprejudiced
observer to tell, from the figures,
whether plant is making money,
is losing, or Is breaking even. Of
ten costs that 'are an ineseapable
part of private utility operation are
completely ignored by the munich
pal accountants, thus establishing a
false relationship between revenue
and outgo. Such costs are paid for
by the community, and amount to
subsidies by all the taxpayers for
favored electric users.
Furthermore, no fair comparison
between private and municipal sys-
TENS can be made without taking
into consideration the problem of
taxation. The average private util-
ity pays out about is per cent of its |
gross In taxes-the average munich
pal utility pays little or nothing for
the same purpose. Thus, a compar-
able municipal utility operating as
efficiently as a private system should
be able to charge rates at least IA
or is per cent lower, because of
alone, without taking
into consideration other public sub
sidies.
Mr.. Manly has made an excellent
suggestion, that is the more telling
because It comes from one Of his
position. II municipalities are not
afraid Of the truth, let them adopt
he same accounting systems for
heir plants that are required of
private systems.
