CJ27 Cfjarks (CAicc) Evans Jr. fejj2jj The Foundation Stroke THE average golf professional takes his pupil out to the practice ground for his first lesson and places a driver In his hands. The Instructor knows that the wooden club .U a hard one for the beginner and that frequently he Is un able by Its use to get the ball Into the air When that Is the case, the Instructor, knowing that sending the ball In the 'air Is the greatest Joy of the beginning golfer, substitutes tho mldiron for the driver, for almost any one can hit the ball, at least occa sionally, with that c'ub. Always, however, the teacher and pupil keep In mind the Idea that the drive Is the foundation stroke of the game. This man ner of Instruction CHICK EVANS haa been adopted, I think, because the tee shot is the first shot of the gamo, and the general thought seema to be to take the clubs In tile order In which they are used on the .course, It makes a man fesl that he Is advancing steadily to the time when he can Play each, shot as needed In a round, beginning with a tee shot and ending with the putt that may or may not send the. ball Into the hole Putting Is Important Some doubter one wripn,SJ(m ventured the succtstlon that the ,trc4 to (earn first J; k-r EVENING LEDGER- INDUSTRIAL NINES ' TOPLAYFORLEAD Hess-Bright and Houghton to Clash in Important Contest Tomorrow NEW HURLER FOR S. & C.

John K Tener. president of the league, has announcjd that a day would be set apart all over the circuit for the playing of a game the receipts of which will be donated to the Ited Cross fund now being raised all oer the countrv PIAYGOLF m is the putt There Is much In this, because about 45 per cent of the strokes made In a round are taken on fhe putting green and the putting stroke Is entirely unrelated to any other stroke In golf. While working out my own game I soon realized that If I expected to develop a consistent and reliable golf game I must learn to systematlie my shots, making all as nearly alike as rosslble. With certain general principles governing stance and grip, following this theory I have been able to work out a consistent game. My drives are sufficiently long and my Iron shots are under good control. And, therefore, I think that my theory In regard to the practice of these shots Is correct. Conservation of Effort By closely relating them I was able to obtain given results with the smallest ex penditure of effort. I tried to carry oit this Idea with 'he putt and failed, for try aB I might nothing I had learned in the use of wooden clubs or Irons brought re sults on the putting green. f Trying to relate the putting stroke with the other golf strokes resulted In years of unintelligent practice, for the putting stroke cannot bo brought within the care fully systematized method of fny play All the other strokes belong together. In. fact, they are merely modifications of one stroke. But when a man reaches the green he might as well forget every stroke he has used between the tee and that spot. There fore, I think It betu.' to learn this unre lated stroke first. Start without any pre conception as tp crip and stance gained from using other clubs.

G. Dun & Co. All grades of ma terial are In fair demand, prices remain firm and collections are good. Of other lines of local trade the review says In part: Conditions In the cotton yarn trade show an uncertainty an to prices nnd orders. Manufacturers nre buying cautiously and or Immediate requirements only. The wool market rules firm under light of ferings and a good demand. Prices In rome Instances were held higher again. The demand Is largely for yarns used for military purposes. Jobbers of woolens, etc., selling principal ly to the manufacturers of men's and wom en's wearing apparel report trade among the manufacturers as being quiet. There la a scarcity of merchandise. Consider able trading wan reported the last few weeks among Jobbers nnd prices are re ported as advancing. Manufacturers of thlrtwalsti report a fair volume of business P'ltidpally among the better class of ferchandlse, although tho season has not come up to their ex pectation. Dress manufacturers are fairly active, but complain of high prices and there Is a tendency of the buyer to hold them down In their prices. Manufacturers of men's and boys' cloth ing state that sales have dropped oft tome what, although materials nre high. Collec tions with them are slow. Jobbers and wholesalers of cotton, dress goods, etc, say that price remain firm and on some particular lines the demand exceeds the supply. Collections nre Inclined to be a little tardy There Is but little change In business conditions among Jobbers of hosiery, under." wear, etc., and it Is stated by them that prices are advancing The iron and steel market presents no special features and continues to be very busy.
