GLANCE over the big fields A named for to-day’s re-opening at the Jamaica track and a comparison of them with the meagre lots which raced at Belmont should furnish reason enough for changing the latter track to the “right” way of running instead of to the “left.” The plan has been talked of for years, but not until recently has It been given serious consideration Although the purses have been un- uaually attractive throughout the Belmont meeting which closed Sat- urday, the entries to the various events have been 4mall and not at all'in keeping with what shor go with racing at America’s grand- est course. Trainers have been averse | to running their charges the wrong way, as they claim it to be, when all their education has been along the opposite lines, and Mr. Belmont's contention that a good horse should run any old way doesn’t make any difference to them. On Saturday, for instance, there @ big turnout at Belmont, and aid they see? Three fillies in the Coaching Club's American Oaks, with one of them an outstanding choice at odds almost prohibitive to those who patronize the oral betting market, and two horses in the $10,000 Belmont, the winner galloping home almost a sixteenth of a mile in front. In the latter instance the reverse way of running had nothing to do with the smallness of the field. It was just a case of owners refusing to chase their horses after the invincible Man O’ War.

But it is not the kind of golf that succeeds in the end. The reason that amateurs are tnferlor to professionals as iron= shot players is that the former so often underclub themselves mM their happy hearted desire of being able to announce triumphantly that they have accomplished a shot of 160 yards with a mashie ora jigger. It sounds exciting, but it means that they have been overswfnging, and thet is bound to lead to the golfing grave more often than to golfing glory. , Sometimes it is sald ghat the esti- mates of a few years Ago us to the distances which should be attempted with a mashle are wofully below the mark—that nowadays it is easy to get 140 yards with such a club. And you would think 80, watghing the number of people who attempt It, At least, you would think so until you counted the cost In unsuccessful shots, I always contend that, In normal ct the professionel golfer knows it. Instead he er players as ‘between the two sections of the coma munity is not so pronounced in the United States as in Britain, for I fing that of the last five contests for thet American open championship threq have been won by amateure—Miy Charles Evans, Mr. Jerome Travers and Mr. Francis Oulmet—the othe two having fallen to Walter Gg Hagen. It is twenty-three years since ed amateur secured the British open} championship, and although, on or two occasions, Mr, Harold Hilf has been very near to winning, it sa no exaggeration to say that, as m@ body, the amateurs have been lefty hopelessly in the rear. And yet at one time they usually made a brave show in the event. There were geng erally several in the first doze players. .

SAFE PLAY TELLS IN END, + Occasionally theso efforts to mighty things with iron claba adapted for sober treatment, meeg with success for a whole round. Bu@ the magic does not extend to a sos ond round. In a recent open amateus tournament in Britain a ma nof filme ly long handicap won the qualifying competition easily, with a very low net score, by using his favorite jigger at every conceivable distance withim 160 yards of the green. He ado; the same policy in the first round the match stages and lost nearly every hole. | I noticed that, in the Oxford ang Cambridge match, our new amateut star, Mr. C, J. H. Tolley, used his mashie-niblick for the second shots to the seventeenth and eighteenth holes at Sunningdale, Far enoggt he may have driven at these exoela lent two-shot holes and admirably ag the mashie-niblick may have served him on this occasion, I am certain that his tactics would fail'in the age gregate if he adopted them every time in a dozen rounds, If 1 had been in his place I would have taken a midiron and played the shots ty comfort. Even if two out of every three mighty swipes with iron clubs come off, they do not represent the best golf, because you would have done Just ag well with less forceful shots Played with clubs of longer range, qand probably the third shot would have come off too, HOW TO GET BACK SPIN, qf u keep within yourself wit! iron clubs you have a chance tiaee ing the way to apply back spin. You Often it is said that professionals are etter iron. players than amateurs be~ cause the former can invest the ball with back spin and make it st within reasonable distance of where tt pitohes. That is only possible for the reason that the professionals do nob overswing, that they have control over the club throughout the moves ment. .
