STICK IS BLANIED FOR GOLF ERRORS 0gg Believes He Has Found Way to Build Club to Save Many Shots. BY W. R. McCALLUM. NADEQUATE golf clubs tmproperly engineered cost the average golfer as much as a stroke a hole. The “sweet spot” on a golf club 1 not in the center of the blade of an | fron nor in the center of the face of s wooden club. It is back of the cen- ter in both cases, because the club- | face is not a prolongation of the shaft | and, therefore, is outside of the axis of the swing. These facts on golf have been made known by Willie Ogg, famed professional of Worcester, Mass., & deep student of golf and for many years one of jts more prominent pro- fessional players. Ogg, who has in- vented a club with the hitting surtace is widemed, says that only a relatively small part of the blade of any iron club is suited for hitting the ball straight and far. A Matter of Physics. VER since my hand-forging days in Scotland,” the Worcester pro says, “I have been trying to make a club in which the whole blade could be used effectively for hitting. 1 find that by establishing the balance line in the middle of the blade and | building the club around it I can do! this. In other words, the weight of the socket, shaft and grip is offset by | the leverage effect of the toe weight. A ball hit on the toe is not far enough removed from the balance line | to produce much torque, therefore, if the torque is removed. the ball will not leave the club at right angles. The elimination of this type of shot means that the dub or good golfer does not make those right angle shots any more, no matter how they swing.” It is a simple application of physics that if the club-face is at right angles to the line to the hole as the ball is struck and_continues in that direction | while the ball remains on the face of the club the ball must go straight.| But most people do not know that the so-called “sweet spot” in any golf club | 18 not in the exact center of the club- face, but back of that, probably a | half-inch back in an iron club and more than that in a wooden club. The ball actually remains on the face of a | ‘wooden csib for about 6 inches of the travel of the club and about 3 inches in the course of travel of an iron club. Clubs Much at Fault, HEREFORE it follows that if the club-face is at right angles to the hole and remains at right angles while the ball remains on the face of the club, it must go straignt. Another golf club manufactured under the name of Robert T Jones uses a flanged head, while still another has the heel artificlally weighted. All of them are good golf clubs. struck on the “sweet spot,” but the old physical factor remains—that to hit & straight ball the club-face must be traveling in the direction of the hole at the time of impact. “A study of the average dub con- vinced me long ago that there was as much error in the clubs as in the | players,” Ogg adds. “No one can tell me that a dub who has made good in other sports and has average intel- | ligence, scoring between 100 and 120, is that helpless or dumb. I estimate the error in the tools in this case is @s high as a stroke a hole.” Straight Off Tee president of the Burning Tree Club, succeeding the late Judge | John Barton Payne. JOSEPH E.

By the Associated Press. United States exports in February were shown by Department of Com- merce figures today to have declined less than usual from January, while imports fell more than customarily. Exports, valued at $163,006,000, fell 7 per cent from January, whereas the usual decrease over a long period of years is 11 per cent. February ex- ports, however, were still higher than in Pebruary, 1934. Imports, valued at $152,537,000, fell 9 per cent from January, compared with a usual decline of 2 per cent. FINANCIAL February imports were still substan- tially higher than in February, 1934. The excess of exports in February, the so-called favorable balance of trade, was $10,469,000, compared with & favorable balance in February, 1934, of $29,976,000. For the first two months of this year thefavorable balance was $19,699,000, against $66,490,000 in the first two months of 1934. January Total Cited. Th: department said the greater than seasonal decline in February imports was, in part, the result of | ynusually heavy imports durjng Jan- uary. “A continuation in the divergent trends of agricultural and non-agri- cultural exports is reflected in the February statistics,” the department added. “Exports of meats and fats, grains, feedstuffs, raw cotton and tobacco, showed relatively large declines in quantity, as compared with the pre- ceding month, while exports of man- ufactured articles as a whole were only slightly smaller. “Although seasonal influences were in part responsible for the smaller volume of agricultural exports, com- parisons of the January and February statistics with the corresponding months of 1934 indicate that other in- fluences were at work.” The report did not say what these “other influences” were. Gold Imports Smaller. Gold imports in February were $122,817,000 compared with exports of $46,000. In 1934, February imports were $452,622,000 compared with ex- ports of $51,000. For the first two months of this year gold import were $272,573,000 compared with exports of $409,000. In | the first two months of 1934 imports | were $454,570,000, compared with ex- ports of $4,765,000. Silver imports in February, 1935, were $16,351,000 compared with ex- ports of $1,661,000. In February, 1934, silver imports were $2,128,000 com- pared with exports of $734,000. Imports of silver for the first two months of 1935 were $35,437,000, com- pared with exports of $2,909,000. Im. ports in the first two months of 1934 were 85,721,000 compared with ex- ports of $1,592,000. 100 TONS OF LEAD SOLD.

TORONTO, March 26.—A net prof- it in 1934 of $18,487478 was reported | today by the Interrational Nickel Co. | |of Canada, Ltd, compared with ll | net of $9.662,584 in 1933.

On the world copper market, Stan- ley said, “repeated attempts to ra- tionalize this industry have failed, due to a variety of reasons such as cdivergent interests, by-product cop- per, prohibitive tariffs and other causes. “It would seem that a curtailment agreement among all producers would be a practical procedure that should prove advantageous to all concerned.
