GOLF SIMPLIFIED By Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr. o'\ x \BA T>IA6RAM A Action op cot yi on side H)ll greenj TJtand well OVER THE Cf GALL * ° • More On Putting Continuing the discussion of putting In our last article let us consider putting shots which are complicated by tlie condition of the green, its slope, the length of the putt, etc. This part of the game of golf calls for a lot of real calculation as there are so many factors to interfere with the true course of the ball. Many a player Is puzzled to know what to do to control the ball when the putt must be made down a considerable slope. He feels that once the ball has been hit it is largely in the hands of Providence as to where it will stop on the sloping greeu. To a considerable degree his feeling is right but there are golfing devices which can be employed in situations like this. This kind of golfing may be compared in a sense to playing billiards, for instance a cut strokn can be given to the ball which will impart to it a spinning motion which will enable it to work against gravity. So if the hole is directly down the slope by cutting the ball it will deviate to the left of an imaginary straight line drawn between the ball and the hole, then curve to the right, like the "incurve” of a baseball pitcher, and, assuming the shot has been perfectly executed, drop into the hole. Even if you do not hole-out the stroke the ball will come to rest, and not have behind it the momentum which gravity would give it if you simply played a straight shot for the hole. On the level green this same stroke can be employed when playing a stymie. To master a cut stroke, of course, means a great deal of persistent and painstaking practice. It is a stroke which will appeal greatly to a man who has played billiards and is thoroughly reliable in practised hands.

Regarding the grip u be useil in putting, here again there is great variance among prominent golfers. Personalty I use a form o? the overlapping gtip wherein the liftle finger of the light hand is intertwined with the forefinger of the left hand. The thumb of my right baud l keep rather well back ou the shaft pointing straight down and I believe this helps in accuracy. This idea in the overlapping of course, is to make the two hands act as nearly as possible en bloc— tha; is. as one hand. The burden of the stroke falls largely on the right hand aud it should be allowed plenty of play with the right wrist a little more rigid than the left. To putt well one must stand well ovar the hall. When a player stands too far back the whole pendulum motion, so very important iu successful putting, is made most difficult as unless you are well over the ball it is nearly impossible to make the backward swing of the putter in an exact line with the course the ball must take. Concentration and confidence are very important factors in successful putting. Your mind must be wholly on the task iu hand. You must feel that you are going to putt successfully. Any mental wavering, any hesitation, and feeling that you are going to hit too easy or too hard is certain to he fatal. Approach the play with confidence, follow the suggestions utlined here which I have made as simple as possible and with practice you will succeed. Putting is a very largo part of the game of golf aud to win you must putt. (Copyright John F.

Denver Has Modern Dog Cemetery Which Holds Bodies Os 82 Canines Hy International News Service Denver, Sept. 8. — Dog heroes of this vicinity need not worry about their final resting place, for, across the l'latte rivet from one of Denver’s cemeteries Is a plot, two lots square in which th 326th dog grave was recently made. Stage dogs, childrens’ pets and family guards are numbered among those canines that have been honored with one of these final resting places. Queens, Ladys. Colonels, Pals, Majors and one Fido are among the infinite number of other names inscribed upon the wooden markers that stand row upon low in the field that is as sad as any human cemetery. Here, too, have been witnessed many tearful burials when man’s best friend has been laid to rest. Only two wooden slabs bear any other epitaph than the name and dale of death. Here are found the Inscriptions “At Rest" and "In Memoriam,” both of which indicate iu a simple way the bereavement felt when death came to someone’s loved quadruped. Even “Lovey Bovey” Dogs Can Not Bathe In Hammond City Parks Hammond, Ind., Sept. 3. —(INS) — No matter how many jewels they wear, or how great their social prominence, women are not entitled to hat he their "lovey dovey" dogs in the park lagoon here, ill the irate opinion of Charlie Clark, Hammond's community service director.

*************** * CORN BORER NEWS * * Bv * * L. M. Rusche, County Agent * *************** 1* M. Busche, County Agent Many farmers seem still to be uninformed of the clean-up regulations which the government will ask to have observed before May 1, 1928. According to a letter from P. T. Ulnutn, who is jn charge of European corn borer control in Indiana, a cleanup of corn refuse excepting a fourinch stubble will comply satisfactorily with the regulations. Corn cobs will be exempted except where mixed with fodder. Where the stalks are raked and burned, a maximum of ten (10) lineal feet to the square rod will be allowed to remain on the field. Copies of the regulations are not yet available, but likely will be within a few days, after which they may be obtained at the county agent's office. Newspaper reports indicate that certain parties in Ohio declare the government campaign last spring was not a success. The report stated, however, that the clean-up was a failure only in the fact that the spread of the European corn borer was not prevented. The real good done in preventing the multiplication of worms to a destructive degree yet remains to be seen. Judgment should not be passed until all the facts in the case are known. It stands to reason that the destruction of the worms which harbor in the corn stalks will prevent to a great degree the multpilication of the pest. When it is considered that each female moth which hatches from the worm is capable of laying several hundred eggs, the importance of the clean-up is plain. o ... — Miss Helen Dorwin has gone to Greencastle where she will enter Depauw University as a freshman.
