By Charles ("Chick") Etui, (Western .Amateur Golf Champion.) The average golf player Is very critical of his clubs. To their defect he attributes his failures and he la anxiously seeking for that perfection of balance that will revolutionise hla game and lead him on to championships. The Inventor and manufacturer have endeavored to meet this desire of the golfer, and , Briton and Tankee have been equally Inventive. The theoretical side of golf has a strange fascination for most of us. No matter how unqualified -we are by training, and admittedly most every golfer of note, professional or amateur, is unacquainted with the scientific side of golf, we plunge Into the subject with unlimited enthusiasm. Give any average player a peculiarly construct club and diagram showing

that a ball struck in a certain sort' of

way by a certain sort of surface is

bound to describe a certain line of flight and he has material for hours of discussion. Then, If after trial an

uncertain stroke produces an uncer

tain result, the new find Is abandoned

and the eternal search for the perfect golf club begins once more with the

purchase of another club.

One of the most Interesting sights

at St. Andrews Is a collection of early golf clubs. It seems to me an equally interesting sight would be a collection of newly patented clubs with accompanying diagrams. Some of these clubs are fearfully and wonderfully made and a golfer tomlng upon them suddenly might think that he was the victim of a nightmare. The necks of clubs have been given marvelous twists and turns and woodn clubs have been variously Inset with Ivory, pressed paper fiber anything calculated to produce a more re

silient surface. The lower edges of

these clubs are usually sharp, but now

a rounded edge has been patented. Oc

casionally we find beveled shafts, and

only a little while ago every one was

using spliced clubs Instead of the

socket shafted ones. Many kinds of wood have been used at different times

for shafts, but Invariably we get back

to the hickory -again. I have seen a

golf club somewhat resembling a ham

mer. and Mr. Maury of Peoria has an

exceedingly queer-shaped golfing implement that every one there knows as "Betsy." It has a head but little

larger than a golf ball, and seems

very effective In the hands of its own er. ,

Different Iron clubs have been welded with strange knobs at the back and

strange crooks at the neck. Mr. Roh

ert Maxwell, a great British amateur, came to the conclusion that the socket

part of iron clubs was too heavy, so

he had holes drilled In. winding lines around the socket. Since that time he plays to an accompaniment of wierd

whistling,

Whole sets of aluminum clubs were

at one time the fashion. Now that

metal is never seen except in a put

Inventor have been turned. Every

shape, size and material have been combined to enable the discouraged player to run down those deceptive

short puts.

It Is easy to understand the demand

for clubs. . The average player car

rles at least five. Chandler Kgan's caddy usually staggered under a re-

Any stories purporting to have come from me stating that Manager Chance Is not In . perfect mental condition or good physical trim are made out of whole cloth, and have been circulated by persons seeking to stir up trouble. Such stories are not only cruel, but unjust to both Manager Chance and myself.

New York, Jan. 14. Larry Lajole,

veteran ball star with the Cleveland

team. Is to become a member of Frank

Chance's Highlanders. This was the announcement given out today by baseball heads. The change is to be

brought about in a many cornered deal. "I look for Lajole to be a Highlander during the coming season." was

the positive declaration made by a close friend of President Farrell of the local club last night. "I haven't this tip from Mr. Farrell direct, but from

what - I have ..learned since: frank I Chance signed his contract I feel safe

Ill STRAIGHT FALLS

Unless present arrangements fall through, the boxing lid which has

been clamped down at the Moose hall In Hammond for over a month, will be tilted the latter part of this month with a card that will outclass all others stared In the past. Art Stewart of Hammond and Steve Ketchel of Chicago will be the principals In the main ten-round go, while the curtain raiser and seml-wlndup will be of a variety that will furnish the fight fans with plenty of thrills and excitement. . Ever since the Moose cast a gloom over fistic circles In Lake, county by announcing that they would stage no more bouts, this will be welcome news to the fight fans of this vicinity who are eagerly waiting to hear the familiar tap of the gong. Matchmaker Frank Campbell, who has so successfully conducted the past bouts at the Moose hall. Is busy making arrangements, and when the curtain raiser Is
