Let me way right away that I can- wut into your stroke, but under any ‘@roumstances you heve got to hit firmly, #0 that there shall be no slov- ‘enliness about the work of your club. How hard you have got to hit the ball maust be found out by yourself, but if You tell me the length of the shot ‘and the nature of the ground AS the hole I cam tell fou it you have got to do with the club im erder to get the desired effect, A CUT SHOT 18 BAD.

This striving after cut has coat many & player many a stroke, What , {Should be thought of ta: How rap- idly can you make the ball spin in the direction from which it is hit— underspin or backapin,» whichever you lke to put It. All this de- pends upon the individuality, or judgment, of the striker, You must “feel” the shot because so much de- pends upon the distance your ball is from the hole when you play it. You must find out for yourself how hard the ball must be struck (once again let me @ay it must be struck firmly always) and you must see that at the | moment of impact you have sent your club's face to the bali at the time that the clubhead is near tho bottom of the are which it has to de- soribe during the stroke, A MISTAKEN TERM. ‘The habit of pulling the face arises out of & mistaken term, the misuse of the word “cut.” If you cut @ ball you do not stop it} you cause It to run from left to right. Why do that? Surely it la better to hit the bali straight to the pin and risk nothing more than distance, instead of risking dstance and direction, ‘When you are playing your mashie let the club go straight through with the face of the club square to the line of flight. You will find yourself near tho hole on m occasions by doing that than you will if you try to stop the ball on the green dy cutting it. ; In @ recent article I explained the danger: of overswinging. That danger is never greater than when fudeme a shot which requires the ff dgment which is called “strength,” oughly speaking, your swing for a mashie shot should be regulated by the distance to the hole; but you should never take your club so far back that you e got to steady it on the down swing in order to “spare” your shot, In the use of the mashie the open blade plays a big part. If you ad- dress the ball with the blade of the club at right angles to the intended line of flight, you are using the shut or closed blade, which usually in- sures a pulled shot. The open biade {se used when your club head in so placed that the toe of the club is pointing slightly to your right. In getting this ition you should see that the handle of the club is a shade in front of the head. That should not only be so at the address, but also at the time of impact. You need not be afraid of smother- ing the ball; have faith that the loft ef the club will do its work if you tom | will but give it a chance. If you do this you will find that the “open” blade when it returns to the ball gots with the line of fight, and you have insured the direction you required. ‘The ability to put underspin on a ball has been called the “Soul of Goif.” It ta, Fortong it haa been my opinion that the man who can put most under- spin on the bal) is the man who will become uper-champion, I have told of the methods of putting underapin on the ball, and propose next week to go & ttle deeper into the matter.

By Vincent Treanor. (Special to The Evening World ) SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 2. MONTH of horve raging begins here to-day under conditions somewhat different from those whioh have prevailed here for years. In other words, this is going to be just a racing season without the faro, roulette, dice and other games of chance which have’ heretofore con- tributed to the night life, sometimes under cover but very often in brazen defiancé of law and order and the local authorities. Despitw the edict that has gone out from Albany, and the complaints of Saratoga County officials, thousands of dollars have been epent in fur- nishing several of the gambling pal- aces with a view to doing the same thriving business as of last season. But this money has been expended in vain unless the proprietors suc- ceed in, pulling wires which will per- mit them to run under certain sub- terfuges, This, according to the au- thorities, will be impossible. Wheelmon,, faro dealers and dice experts who’ have heretofore found lucrative employment in the palatial "club houses" here during August havo about made vp their minds that there will be “nothing doing” in Saratoga County this season. Whether or not they have been “tipped off" nat to take a chance ten't known. They, however, held a meeting in New York last week and arrived at the conclu- sion that tt wouldn't be wise to op- pose the wishes of Goy, Smith, who some time ago let it be known that nothing approaching old conditions would be tolerated, Saratoga County has tta Gonfines, however, and from what ts whispered about here those who feel that their nights are wasted unless they can “puck the tiger’ will have ample op- portunity to do #0.

His statement is regarded as just a bluff. Tho racing association has never bothered itself with anything outside the race track, but {t la known that its leading spirits have long since realized that night gambling was det- rimentat to their interests, Many do- yotees of the thoroughbred eport last year found their atay at the Spi amazingly expenaive, mot becayse of their speculation at the track, but JERSEY GOVERNOR WANTS NEW BOXING OFFICIALS. According to the Istest information ‘eoelved from Trenton, N. J., Gov, Ed- | ward I. Edwards intends to install «| sew Boxing Commission to supervise he sport, owing to the recent scandal resulting from the Fulton-Wills bout. It {s understood that the Governor will wait until the Legislature adjourns | Sept. 9, the date he will make his in- | terium appointments. The reason h@ is unable to make an immediate change, it is thought, is that the Republican majority In the State Hagen in Great Form and He and Barnes Handily rdon and Ray American Open Champion |HOW HAGEN AND BARNES Breaks Course Record at Hollywood, N.

Thus ie it that the racing association gees in the asset to its month of racing jere. They are interested in the meeting of the turf kings-and queenf such as Saratoga can always boast. The best horses of the country meet here day East, and tests is Nation-wide. No than thirty-two stakes are down for decision, most of them of historic value and rich in money| prizes. The Saratoga Handicap of opening day, the United States and Grand Union Hotel Stakes, tho Ban- ford Memorial, the Saratoga Special, the Kentucky Handicap, the Travers, the Albany, the Spinaway, the Hope- ful and the Saratoga Cup are time- honored fixtures, which promise the best racing of the year. Everything is in readiness for a banner meeting, The city is over- crowded, Hotels are filled to capacity and ogttages and furnished rooms have ah been snapped up. Horses by the hundreds are quartered at the track and stable room is at a pre- mium. Saratoga will, as usual, get enough money during the month to keep things going for the rest of the year, leas | TRAINING GALLOPS. BANATOGA, Aug 2 DR._CLARK—AMle and furlong to 1.58 3-6.

He was the friend and adviser of the young player, the confidant of the digscoureged, a helper and a clean, hard fighting enemy. I never heard |an opposing player, even in the bit- terness of desperate campaigns, who did not pay his respects to Mathow- j aon. I remember hearing Mardecal Brown, himself much of the same type in clean sportsmanship, after beating Matty in a flerce game oa the Polo Grounds, remark: “That was a tough one for Matty to lose.” In victory he was giving full due to an opponent. There was one incident in | career of Mathewson which seems to me better to illustrate his gameness and coolness than anything I ever saw him do, It was in a game be- tween the Giant. and Cubs in Chi- cago in 1908, the year of the most bi!~ ter struggle between those great rivals. New York seemed to have the game safely in hand and, with the first Cub out in the ninth, and Chicago three or four runs to the bad, Matty went to the club house He haa his uniform of and (was almost ready for the shower when the Cubs started hitting Wiltse, I believe it was, and made mfierce attack. Hit after hit followed while McGraw dis- patched runners to get Matty. The news reached him as he was getting Into the shower. Out on the field Mc- Graw stormed, delayed, fought fo time, and in the club house Matty was frantically climbing into h’ clothes. The umpires, annoyed by McGraw's delays and stalling, ordered the pitcher to pitch and another hit fol- lowed, Runners were on second and third, Del Howard at bat, and a hit meant victory and probably the champion- sh'p for the Cubs, Just then Matty emerged from the club house on » run. His trousers were half off, his shirt unbuttoned and one stocking” was over his shoe top while the shoes were unlaced. McGraw announced Matty to pitch. He buttoned up his uniform while pitching the five balls allowed him, then with a grin on his face he stepped to the slab, pitched three faders inside the plate, and Howara took three wild wallops and was ou The next man lined out and it was over. Those fourteen runs made by the New York Yanks tn one inning came near smashing the major league rec- ord, which, as far as I can ascertatn was made in a game between Chicago and Detroit in the National League in 1885, when the White Sox scored eighteen runs before they got through. The big score game—that betweou Chicago and Louisville tn the twelve- club National League—in which Ch: cago made thirty-six rung, had no euch big inning, the Colts scoring ts every round excepting one. The record really was broken once in a contest between Boston an: Brooklyn, but it did not count. One team (I forget which) had a game won and @ rainstorm was threaten- ing in the fourth inning, and so the other commenced to stall. The result was a farce, and twenty or more runs were registered before the umpires forfeited the game just as the rain Started. ‘That foarteen-run inning #howe the eccentricities of baseball. But for a: error at the start New York would have scored one run, and perhaps not that in the round, but after they go: started the Senators fell into panic amd it became a riot.
