Average golfers usually find
truble in using these shots for chip
ping over sand traps and hitting
the ball over water.
This is mostly a mental problem.
The part time golfer develops a
fear of water or sand traps. Be-
cause of this fear he tries to lift
the ball over the hazards instead
of swinging the club naturally. In
other words, he attempts to scoop
the balI.~ Sometimes he stabs at
the ball and fails to follow through.
Both are bad habits. Concentra-
ton, plus practice whenever pos
sible, should do much to correct
these faults.
My advice to the average golfer
is to spend as much Of his free
time as he can during the week,
either at q practice course or on
a driving range. II he is unable
to get out to q course, at least he
might find time to 90 to q nearby
driving range and hit 50 or 60 balls.
If he can manage to get out to a
range two or three times q week,
he will be surprised at the results.

Oriole Stuart Couldn't Even
Beat Preacher ROe's Father
BY GEORGE BOWEN

AP Nswsfestvres
BALTIMORE-Some Of the gray
hairs on Marlin Stuart, Baltimore
Oriole pitcher, undoubtedly are due
to couple of Roes.
Stuart had the rare experience
Of pitching against Preacher Roe
Of the Brooklyn Dodgers and to the
Preachers father. He lost both
times by the score of 10. And to
make it more aggravating each
time it was a bunt that did the
damage.
Stuart's meeting with the Roes
were 1S years apart.
He recalls:
1T was back in Jonesboro, Ark,
in 1886 when ! pitched against
Preach's dad. I was playing Oc-
cane in the state semi-pro tourna-
ment and old man Roe was pitch
ing for Jonesboro. He was 81 years
old then and was more of fast
ball pitcher then young Preach.
"Well, we went along for 10
innings and nobody could get run.
Finally, in the last half of the 18th,
somebody beat out a hunt for
Jonesboro and that led to the win
ming run.
"Then last fall, after the sea-
son, I pitched against young Prea-
cher in an exhibition game at Sal

bunt on me with a runner on third
base.

at the same present something

buying them.
This Autumn she has let the
seasons colors govern her.
Natures beautiful whey tones,
green's, blues, olives, moss green's,
browns, russets and other orangy
shades are captured in many new
fabrics. TWeeds in brilliant
colors like parma blue, sage

exciting in the fabric destined to
be ruling fashions roost this new

We like the premise guiding a

She's an American DESIGNER
