Comiskey then wired Gleason that the secretary would see him on a certain day and discuss sal- ary matters with him. When the day arrived Gleason dressed in the best clothes he had. He got_himself tailored and barbered to perfection. Then he went around to the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, inter- viewed the head waiter, the cigar dlerk, the bell captain and the door- man. To each of these he gave a lib- eral tip and instructions. Next he went to a bookmaker friend and bor- rowed $3.000 tn cash for the day. Secretary 1s Astonished. Comiskey's secretary arrived and Gleasonh met him. The secretary was astonished at the air of prosperity that enveloped Gleason. He had ex- pected to meet a man in tattered suit, a person much in need of repair. It was near the noon hour and Gleason suggested they have a bite to eat. The secretary wanted Gleason to go with him, but Gleason would not hear of that. He compelled the secretary to te hisguest. He called a taxiand went to the Bellevue-Stratford, alighted, pulled out an enormous roll, finally found a $5 bill, handed it to the taxi ariver and told him to keep the change. The doorman bowed a “Good morning, Gleason,” and <o did the bell captain. Two bell boys rushed forward to ask whether Mr. Gleason wanted any immediate service. The well known Mr. Gleason nodded here and there and waved the hotel min- fons aside. He strode into the dining room. “Ah, good morning, Mr. Gleason.

I have been told thaf in 1924, when Gene was temporarily out of the run- ning for high honors, he was assidu- ously practicing the slice and by so doing rendered his straight game less sffective than formerly. Last Winter and Summer he ceased to bother with It and soon was hack in his old form. So it can be seen that even top-notch golfers often are better off not to in- dulge in this particular brand of’ex- pertness. Nevertheless, most of the cracks regularly use the slice in emergencles and often get the very best results from it. Leo Diegel. although he is one of those who firmly belleve that the in- tentional slice twice proved to be the strategy that rescued him from dire big end of a match. The scores were 511, 572 and 518 to 499, 495 and 595. The greatest pinfall was recorded by McPhilomy of the losers, with games of 104, 120 and 124/for . set of 348. With its handicap of 12 pins, Wood- ward & Lothrop gave the leading Times Herald team a good fight in the Commerclal League. The F* Streeters took the first game of the set, and after losing the second by 19 pins, were defeated by only a single maple in the last set-to. ¢ Rice, anchor man of Fifth Baptist, gave the pins a fine smashing in his team’s last match. 119, 112 and 122 for . set of 353.

Field of Experts. “Jt was during the open tournament over the Princess Anne course at Nor- folk, Va., last Fall,” Leo explains. “There was a big fleld of experts competing, but on the second day of play it was apperent that the cham- plonship lay between Gene Sarazen, Cyril Walker and me. ““That morning I went nicely until I came to the dog-leg hole.

Lie Was Not Bad., “My lie was not so bad. A very wide slice would take me from behind the trees and bring the ball around in the direction of the green in a way that might avold a nasty trap at the right. However, such a slice would have to take the ball over a much greater distance than 170 yards, [ se a spoon for the play. It worked out perfectiy. My ball, describing a wide arc, came down on the edge of the green.

I employed identically the same tactics to get out of trouble and did even better than on the third round. “This time I laid my ball on the green, 20 feet from the cup.
