a SPORTING ETES BACK AGAIN TO-HORROW EVENING Had Tight Squeeze for story Last Time and Should @o Home Disappointed. . The Peterboro senior C.0.B.L. out- it will be on deck in Kingston again ih Wednesday evening and will en- in another tilt with the local Last week's game provided a d many sensations and kept the wowd interesied. The Petes won it an eyelash but should not have joy of repeating their stunt.

Kelly is a good start- : man---a good man all through in lact--but it takes Gallagher two or iiree frames to strike his stride, So far in the second half the King- nm team has not done anything to the local fans into écstasies but C.OB.L. Peterboro s. Kingston FAIR GROUNDS many of them, remembering the sen- sational gpurt which carried the locals otit in front in the first sec- tion, are waiting hopefully for the playoff games, which look very much 2s if they would be in Belleville and Kingston, Oshawa has a very out- side chance of breaking into the show by winning every game from now to the finish and Peterboro still has a look-in also but the Trunks are con- sidered the logical contenders. Tomorrow evening's game is im- portant to Peterboro but not particu- larly interesting to Kingston except as a workout and a means of keeping the team travelling at a good speed. The locals should win if they are go- ing to do anything much before the end of the half. f TO-NIGHT Stn This evening at the cricket fleld 4th Hussars and Live Wires will meet in a game postponed from the middle of last week. Since their bat- tle with Gananoque the other day the Live Wires have taken on an entirely different aspect and look like a form- idable outfit. This evening's game will be started off quickly and should be a good one. Only the heaviest of rain storms could keep it from be- ing .good and Hussars are going to. get one of the merriest old battles of the season. | BY JOE WILLIAMS. Go after distance if you must, but don't try to kill the ball. That's the advice of Jock Hutchison, former British open champion and present holder of the western open. Hutchison, unlike most pros, thinks distance hitting should be en- couraged. Hutchison realizes that the player gets his biggest thrill out of a long driven tee shot. "It'is just as easy to hit a long ball as a short one, once you have mastered control," contends - Jock. "There are times when distance is imperative, and other times when it only seems to be. "When you are on a wide fairway with the whole world to shoot at, cut loose and see just how far you can swat the darn bali. But when your objective is a green with traps on either side and you are 300 yards away use less muscle and more men- tality." The mental hazard of being com- pelled to place your shot on the \green is something you did pot have to worry about when you were on i "Automotive Grinders Limited AUTO TOPS | New and Repaired ushions Upholstering Large assortment Tapestries Just arrived.

THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG "the wide fairway with the whole world to shoot at." This in itself is going to disturb you. As a result you are quite like- ly to tighten up and instead of swing- ing through in a rhythmic arc you probably will tear into the ball with all your might, trying to kill it. The effect will be a lunge, rather than a sweeping hit. If you don't top the ball you will hook it or push it. Either you will wind up in the rough or in a trap. { - - » . Even the champioffs have a tough time making 300-yard approach shots stick on the green, let alone the duffers. Play it safe, know you can handle smoothly and naturally.
