Runner up in Pittsburgh tournament for professional golfers, 1922, being defeated only by Sarazen. I the ball is sunk in the sand use a niblick because it has a sharp blade and cuts through the sand easily. Tighten the grip as the club head approaches the ball on the down swing. If the ball lies clean on the sand an iron or jigger should be used, or even a spoon, if the lic and distance warrant. The sand may be slightly scraped by the sole of the clubs or the ball may be hit cleanly. When playing in sand always make sure that the feet arc firmly planted. Otherwise, the power of the blow will be lessened. I always dig my heels into the sand until they are firmly set. 1 se Club for International Tomorrow—All Praise Suzanne Lenglen. be less clearly established than it was oppose | The | 'PLAY SURE TO BE BETTER ON FOREST HILLS COURTS Have Regained Tennis Form During Practice at West latch Starting CE PERRY. hing the British woman tennis play- at Forest Hills for the international matches against our Americen woman stars, which begin tomor- will make a better showing than at Sea Bright.

[ RICKARD IS HOLDING CHEAP SEATS TILL DAY OF FIGHT BY FAl EW YORK, August 10.—Whil, convinced Tex Rickard that N said today that the general public, t high-priced seats, will have plenty grounds. To this end there will be a publie sale of three and five dollar seats start- ing at 5 oclock on the night of the bout. Special sélling booths will be bullt in the Madison Square and all policemen that can be secured properly formed and order maintained, But one ticket will be sold to a person, the idea being not only to give eve man a chance, but to keep tickets ou of the hands of the speculators. Rickard is stewing a little about Firpos bouts, particularly about the go with Charley Wienert, who is a clever guy and might conceivably keep out of Firpo's way until the end of the bout !and at the same time pepper the Argen- tine with his straight lefte. It is easy {10 see that were this to happen interest in the Dempsey-Firpo bout would be | affected. If Firpo, who is keen on the imoney end of his profession, made to see this he might pass up ! Wienert untii later. is £0 _confident of his prowess that he is mot likely to cercern himself about | the Newark Adonis. i Al of which calls to mind how times have changed.
