Enthusiasm Shown
At L. u. l46 Meetinq
Prospects For Continued
Steady Work Are
Bright

Paden City, w. Va.-The regular
meeting Of Local Union No. LAG was
held February 9. We are sorry to
report that so few Of our members are
interested enough TO attend the meet
ings. We urge every member 10 come
out to local once in awhile and we are
sure they will enjoy the many inter
esting discussions.
Much interest was shown at our last
meeting when many propositions were
discussed. More enthusiasm and pep
was shown over discussion Of these
propositions than has been shown for
long time.
Some Of our members insist upon
beng IN arrears in their dues. De-
llnquent slips were passed out recent
~ and action will be taken against
these members unless they pay up.
however, every way possible will be
tried to get each one to pay before
any suspensions are given out. We
urge each and every member to read
their constitution regarding the pay
ment Of dues and assessments in con-
nectioh with the insurance they are
entitled to.
Our members were disappointed in
not having President Duffy with US
last week, but due to sickness he was
unable to make the trip. We hope he
has recovered and will visit US in the
near future.
Our officers have all been bonded
this is the first time since the local was
organized, not that we don't trust
them, but business is business.
The shop is working good and pros
poets are bright for continued steady
work.
Here's hoping we can report many
new faces at our next meeting.

Failure With Putter
Keeps Third Crown
From GuIdahI
Ex-Chompion Missed IS
Short Ones in Lost z
Rounds Of National
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Putting that ball into the cup
with the most delicate stroke in
golf-the nerve-testing stroking Of
a white pill over a slippery surfaced
putting green-remains the test
that determines champions.
Talk all you want about iron
shots, towering, booming tee shots,
and deadly chipping and great trap
play, but putting remains the finest
test of skill and nerve in a game
that demands violent physical &C
ton, endurance, and the skill of a
master at Billiards.
Give Ralph Guldahl. the camel
backed former champion, half a
dozen of the short puts he missed
over the final two rounds at Phil
adelphia and he still would wear
the national open crown. For Ralph
was pitiful golfer around that cup
in the national championship which
went into its fifth day today, with
the second playof under way over
the Spring Mill course between
Craig Wood and Byron Nelson.
Didn't Have Touch" Says Ralph.
Il don't think I ever putted as
badly in a tournament as I putted
IN that one" said Ralph as he
dressed in the locker room after the
final round. DO you know I took
35, 36, 35 and 81 puts in those four
rounds? We pros have a way of
figuring that if you go over 3O-or
maybe 3l-putts in round it isn't
so good. But I wasn't better than
"a in any single round, and I miss ed
SO many short ones I lost conf
dence."
We ventured an idea that maybe
the keen green's had something to
do with it. Those putting surfaces
at Spring Mill were slippery as glass.
No l don't think so" said Ralph.
with that little boy expression he
wears sometimes. I've putted on
greens just as fast, and putted well.
Just didn't have the touch"
And there you have the story Of
the championship. Guldahl. as good
golfer as there was in that cham
plonship-mavbe the best man
dldnt have the touch at the time
he should have had it.
Misses Is Short Puts.
I I saw him blow puts of less
than feet IN the third round. He
missed of less than S feet in the
last round. In all ne missed Is
puts Of less than feet over the
last two rounds. The Guldahl of
1887 and 1888 would have holed half
of them.
Had the Guldahl of 1899, defend.
ing his crown, holed half of them
at Spring Mill he still would be the
champ.
That final putt that Sam Snead d
mSsed-about l6 inches-on the la st
green for the now historic 8? Sam,
m convinced. missed that one
through sheer carelessness. He knew
he had blown the championship,
and he was annoyed. They all can
DO 1t. And putting remains the most
important part of the game.

He was confident then that after
a short rest he would be all right
again, but every passing day makes
the chance that he ever will play
again seem more remote, for Babe
Dahlgren, playing a remarkable
game, has speeded up the Yankee
infield. And Lou is rusting on the
bench.
Lazzeri, released by the Cubs last
winter, sought to make a comeback
with the Dodgers, failed there, was
released again and signed by the
Giants.
But Topy's legs were gone. There
was power in his arm and he still
could clout the ball, but he couldn't
move around and he couldn't come
up. sometimes, with hard smashes
right at him. Bill Terry wasted no

Grafton on his pitching arm last fall
working patiently with it through
the winter months, trying hard at
the training camp and in the as
slgnments that were given to him
when the season got under way.
All he needed to get back was a
last ball. He had as good a curve
ball and as good control as he ever
had. He was in fine condition and
could pitch all day if necessary. But
he couldn't generate the old power
behind the ball-couldnt get enough
fire on it to drive the hitters back
when they began to hit his curve
ball or slow stuff.
Manush, one of the great hitting
outflelders, hammered his way
around the American and National
League circuits over a long stretch,
but came to the end of the tour in
Pittsburgh the other day. Chuck
Klein, another grand veteran whose
number is up, was released by the
Phillies and signed by the Pirates
and to make room for him Manush
had to 90.
