It Is the Only One for a Water Hole If the Distance of Shot Is Suitable.

Ilr Charle ("Chick") Evans. (Western Amateur Golf Champion.) I have found my jigger a very handy club, but I would not advise a beginner to buy one of these clubs, and If I were starting over again I would not buy one myself. Golfers make a great mistake In trying too many different blades or lofts. My jigger is" a rather peculiar club. ;I use it instead of a mldiron when I

wish a high ball with as little roll as

possible for a midiron distance. It was with this club that I once played all my run-up shots, but of late I am using it very little. The mashie is the all-Important club of my bag. As I have said before. I atttained unusual distance with it with control last year, and often stretched

it Into a scant midiron distance with good results. ,. Maafale Most Handy Club. The mashie is the only club for a .water hole provided It is a mashie distance, and it is tohe logical club for approach shots, although many golfers have had good success at times with .the midiron by playing a short flight and a long run shot. There is nothing in the air to deflect your ball, but there is on the ground. , That Is the reason why I should like to 'learn a perfect "cut" shot, because ono "can go all the way to the hole and run no chances on the irregularities of i the ground. The only time that I use ' . midiron or a jigger to approach with is when I am playing with those clubs alone. From 160 to 175 yards down I have had great success playing the mashie. - I use it entirely to play the short

concussion. It was alleged that Lewis

was so shaken up and injured that for two months he was unable to box. On

re-entering the. ring In the following

April Lewis declared he found he was unable to judge distances and was not

so quick on his feet. Counsel for Lewis declared the earnings of the boxer dropped from 9,790 to $4,000 in a year and that he lost several engagements because of his injuries. The hearing was adjourned until tomorrow.

Cubs, appeared before Judge Freeman In the superior court yesterday to defend a suit for $25,000 damages filed in

behalf of Gladys S. Greene, 11 years old.

It is claimed the giri was Injured at double header between the Cubs and

Philadelphia on Aug. 29, 1910, when a seat upon which she was- sitting col

lapsed. She was attending the game

with her father, George W. Greene, 850 Alma street, a city fireman. The testimony of medical experts was heard yesterday regarding the physical condition of the girl, who is represented by Attorney E. J. Cook.

THE TIMES IS TRYING HARD TO MERIT THE SUCCESS IT HAS ACHIEVED.

through. I can get a high or a low shot, a hook or a slice, a running one

a fairly dead landing one off the

same blade, so that It is useless for me

to experiment with midiron or approaching cleeks or clubs or other highly specialized instruments of the game. Mblick for Short Distance. The blade of the niblick is laid the farthest back of all the clubs, and in consequence one gets the shortest distance with it. It is a club with which nearly every' one is well acquainted, for with it, particularly if ha -Is a beginner, he has- been obliged to explore the depths of 'many bankers and other unusually bad lies. The nickllck Is a club of misfortune.

closely associated my mind with deep holes and sand traps, for I use It almost exclusively for bunker shots

and for "cut" shots from other bad He3. I have now come to the end of the

clubs In my own bag. The uses to

which I dedicate each have been de

termlned by Innumerable tests. With

my modest tastes I could consider my

self a rich man If I had a penny for every shot I have taken with each of

them.

A mixed foursome will be played today, beginning at 11:30, over the Fatrvlew nine-hole putting links at The

Fair.' Suitable prizes will be given for

the lowest score for eighteen holes. 1

Thomas Swirles. the well-known

w estward Ho golfer, made a 20 over the nine hole putting course at The Hub yesterday. , That Is a good record

for a starter.

San Francisco, Feb. 25. Duffy Lewis,

outfielder of the Boston Americans,

wired the club management today that his contract was still unsatisfactory

and that he would not report at Hot

Springs, Ark., for spring training.

Three times Lewis is said to have sent

He accepted today the position recently offered him as coach of the Stanford

university baseball team, and will put

the college players in trim for their an

Chicago climbed back into third position in the three-cushion tournament of the National Billiard league last night, when Walter Lauben, western amateur champion, defeated Charles Otis of Brooklyn, 50 to 48, at Muasey's. The battle, which lasted ninety innings, was as "tough" as the score Indicates. From the strategy viewpoint It resembled a match between two topnotch professionals. Each man carried his little' "oil", can, and the resultant effect of each shot In the effect of a miss was given careful consideration. The finish was a battle in which each player resorted to safety shots, Lauben having the edge as his safety followed that of Otis, who could not play safe ty a second time without forfeiting a point. .
