GOLF DRIVES ON BAKED
course mum skill
Now U the* time to pin3 golf If you
an* out* of those* prisons who get ft
short punch out of die drive, for the
fall-greens are talked as hard as newly
weil pie crust, and If yon only top the
hall It is more than likely to get along
farther than It usually does when you
give it a good lick. If you give It a
good wallop It Is likely to go farther
than you ever thought it could go be
fore when you were on the lee, there
to giving you a lot of satisfaction If
you do not happen to see some good
driver hit one for 000 yards and more
of carry.
Playing golf with the courses in the
condition they are now requires more
skill, more head work and tietter exe
cution of shots than at any other time
of the year
I'roin tin ice on holes of more than
2.10 yards the drive can be let out to
its limit, but subsequent Rhots must
be studied, for a pitch or midiron shot,
aul1 vs dropped to long grass before
the green. Is likely to hop on to the
putting green and Imp off again faster
that) It c\ir lapped on. and on most
courses this means trouble, for over
approaching the green on the Ideal
golf course puts the little hall In some
bad. bad tlxes.
James Donaldson was observed at
his home course, fllen View. Chicago,
« few days ago Jamie Is playing bet
ter golf now than he ever p,ayed. He
admits Unit nobody In the world Is
playing better. Ills card of 68 one
day last week on this difficult eighteen
with a par of 7J would tend to
strengthen the statement. Iiut Jamie
Is worrying about Ids putting. But
for the tricky short strokes he would
have been In the money in the national
open championship at Minlknhda—pos
sibly better, for he was playing some
great g.ilf that week.
In driving Jamie has been putting
tlnin ' lit where the hori/.on meets the
gr- en and holding them straight
— 1
There are plenty of long drivers; Twit
not many of them can knock the trade
mark off a hall and control It. Jamie
was observed on n few holes of close
to 300 yards length to be choking
down on Ills tee shots for fear of over
driving.
Now, things like that are not affect
ing the average player much. He Is
content to put all he has on the drive
and not fearing overdriving, but he Is
worrying ah >ut the short holes, those
one shot, par 3 affairs where the ball
must he laid on the putting green from
the too for a possible 3 or birdie 2.
The heady player on a well kept course
nowadays Is playing these holes not
I'.' pitching ihe ball high and allow
ing it to drop on the green unless the
greens are well watered all the time
ami more or less soft, hut he Is play
ing the hall low, trying for the clipped
fait green just short of the green,
Ida ing for a roll to the flag. Better
rce ills seem to accrue to the player
from that sort of shot, hut It plays
heck with the lofted pitch when It
conies time to use one.
PASSES BRING A VICTORY.
Veteran Pitcher Later Catchaa Re

A few years ago Pat Flaherty, one
time Boston pitcher, was twirling In
the Southern association. Pat’s arm
was about gone, but he had two valu
able assets—a good head and n great
motion toward first base, with which
he often caught runners napping off
, the hag. He had a poor team behind
him, and in one game they had made
a number of errors which gave his op
ponents three runs, but when the last
inning rolled around Pat’s team was
