reach If played as It should be. This area, maybe It is a point, but I don't

think it is, gets smaller the shorter the

Istance. On holes where accuracy is impera

tive and the direction oft my wooden

club is wobbly, I have learned by experience to take a cleek, provided the

distance allows me to get home. But

always- feel guilty when I use the

wrong club. It nearly always means a weak spot in one's game.

Many first class players are ahle to

attain great distance with iron clubs.

Those who saw Travel's in the finals at

Wheaton know what skill he display

ed in the use of irons from the tee, and B. F. Cummins of Onwentsia, a famous

player of a few years ago, carried no

wooden clubs at all and he was able to

get tremendous distances, further, indeed, than some of the very best wooden players.

But in spite of these notable excep

tions Vgenius knows no law" it is

not the idea of the game that iron

clubs should be used from the tee.

VANS EXPLAINS PROPER

USE OE CLUBS ON LINKS

Ability of Player Big Factor in Making a Choice; Iron Best for Accuracy.

BY CHARLES ("CHICK") EVANS. (Western Amateur Golf Champion.) A reader has asked me to explain the proper use of each club. He believes many players are totally unacquainted with the standard usage of various golf clubs. He says: j.-- "X have seen a player, with a bag 1 ll ot clubs step up and use a putter " eighth, or water hole." RF,rher mentioned an original golfer "who teed Off the fourteenth, a 607-yard hole, with a goose neck putter. These examples. If not Illustrating a spirit of fun, would seem to show need of some instruction. , It would he Interesting to follow by step the evolutionary progress of the golf club, to learn how the standard driver, braesle, cleek. midiron, mashla and putter came to be so used and CAlled.

I place the various standard clubs in the following order: The driver is for the longest shot, the brassie comes ' next, then the spoon, cleek, midiron.

' Jigger and mashle. The putter's name shows its use, but I have seen a man putt with a brassie, and I have putted

with a mashle and midiron myself; but

I do not recommend them for that

service, of course. -

In regard to some clubs the differ

ences are often hardly noticeable.

believe, however, that if I could hit each ball with equal squareness off

the face of the various clubs, they

would lie in the order named. But

here is another putzle: I get as far

with a Jialf-cleek shot as I would with

i .

a full 'midiron approximately (but

would never use , the -shot except when

lower projectory was demanded, and

I can go as far with a full mashle as

can with a half jigger shot or midiron,

speaking approximately.

The distances for each club cannot

very well be given in yardage because

they vary with the skill of the player

but approximate distances are asso

ciated with certain clubs.

There is a certain standardized use

of clubs for various , distances, modi

fled of course by the lie one has.

The driver is the legitimate club off the tee. Rightly used no iron club can

reach it in distance, but it lacks deli

cacy and exactness. The drives gives

us the tee shot par excellence and al

ways should be used as such unless

OVERALL WILL PITCH

FOR CUBSJTHIS YEAR

Orvie Sure He Will Be Able

to "Come Back" When He Joins Squad.

San Francisco, Feb. 19. Orvie Over

all will be back with the Cubs again this season.

This is the word that Del Howard

brought from the south with him today. Del saw "Big Jeft" in the southern part of the state. The seal captain

says the big fellow is working hard and apparently Is in good shape.

Overall is out pitching every day and

says his arm Is in iairly good shape

now and getting stronger all the time.

The old injury to his pitching arm has apparently left no bad effects and Overall says he expects to be in as good form as he ever was. He probably will

leave for the east In the near future to

Join Murphy's squad.

Orvie has every confidence that he

will be one of the few successful

comebacks."

San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 19. From

the way Ad Wolgast went at his train- 1 ing work at the Seal Rock house yes- I

terday it is evident that Some wise

counsel has reached the hea

young man and that he inten

ly work for his bout with

"Tommy" Murphy, v.-hich takes place at Jim Coffroth's Daly City arena Saturday afternoon. m - For practically an hour today "Wolgast did the things that boxers' usually do in a gymnasium. He punched the bag, hauled the pulleys, shadow boxed, wrestled with Younjr Maekey and boxed three rounds with "Red" Rob

inson.

Wolgast looks better than, he did while he was training for Ritchie, but he does not look as good as he did when he was working for his winning battlfs. If confidence has anything to do with deciding the battle, however, Wolgast should win in a walk. He scoffs at the Idea that he has lost any of his old ability. "And don't let any one tell you I will not enter the ring trained to the minute," said he. "I consider this fight the stepping stone to a return battle with Ritchie and am not overlooking a single bet." Like Wolgast, Murphy also has a weather eye on the title. "If I dispose of Wolgast," he said today, "I will claim the July 4 date with Ritchie." Betting on Saturday's battle continues at odds of 10 to 9, with "Wolgast favorite. Few wagers have been made at the price.

2 MORE BOUTS

Los Angeles, Feb. 19. Promoter McCarey of the Pacific A. C, between selling tickets for the Joe Rivers-"K. O." Brown fight of next Saturday.

found time today to make a couple of

new matches. Frankle Russell, the New Orleans

lightweight, applied for a chance to try

out the latest coast "comer," little Bud

Anderson, Medford, Oregon's, knockout artist. He gets it. The lightweights

will be given the March 8 date.

Another New Orleans Frank, Frankle

Burns, wanted work. He gets a sen

tence of twenty rounds, drawing Eddie

Campi, the San Francisco bantam, as

a ringmate on March 25.

It took less than two minutes for McCarey to close the negotiations with Tommy Walsh, manager of both New

Orleans boys, by wire.

"I would like to wager Dan Mor

gan anything from $100 to 5,000," said Manager Joe Levy, who looks after Joe Rivers' Interests, today. "When, he

first brought Brown to the coast Mor

gan sp' .e wanted to back his boy to

beat xtivers. I'm willing to see Dan

flash his money."

The opinion is generally held that

Brown is training under wraps.

Brown's, main idea teems to be to work

just enough to limber up. He takes

whatever comes his way from his spar

ring partners unless It happens to be a dangerous haymaker, and gives lit

tle in return. He is boxing with Toung Marina, a bantam; Babe Pica to and Solly Burns, lightweights, and Kid Yoakum, the rushing mauler from Texas, k

WOLGAST READY

FOR MURPHY San Francisco, Cal.. Feb. IS. When

Ad Wolgast, the former lightweight

champion, arrived last Saturday to be gin training for his bout next Satur

day with Tommy Murphy he weighed

1S8 pounds. Fight fana were dubious.

They did not think he could make the

133 mark and keep his strength.

Wolgast stepped on the scales at the

close of his afternoon's work yesterday and showed 1344 pounds, which

his trainer says will be easy to lose. In

fact, he is practically at weight now.

Murphy, who has put in a hard

course with the trainers and sparring

partners,, probably will rest after tomorrow. - . , .

New Tork, Feb. 19. Norman Selby, best known as "Kid McCoy," of the

prize ring, is to become an evangelist He will preach the gospel of health at the public forums which the social center movement alms to establish in the public school houses outside of school hours. A strenuous campaign has been

started by Mrs. David Kirk, widow of a Pittsburg millionaire, to have the

buildings utilized in this way. She is

receiving encouragement from the

board of education.

On next Thursday night Mr. Selby .will be heard for the first time in his new role at public school No. 41. To a reporter today he promised "some wallops" that will eclipse the famous

"corkscrew punch" that won his many victories as a fighter.' He declared that

his determination to forget his career

as a pugilist and saloonkeeper and be

coming an evangelist was the result of reading an editorial telling how 5,000 human beings die needlessly every year. "I made up my mind that I would do what I could to promote rational living and uplift humanity," he said. "I want to wake up the powers that are lying dormant in the human mind. People would use them if they understood. First of all. I want to teach them that" health is the center of everything worth while. It is that harmonious condition of the body and mind which enables the physical organs to perform their functions prop

erly, and which develops the positive ualities of mental and physical man to a marked degree. Selby said that he was having a series of maxims printed, and preparing a course of breathing exercises In connection with which he will give demonstrations.
