BARNES In my former article I tried to impress on all who really wish to improve their game the necessity of practice. I explained how to commence practice on their putting before the time arrives when we can practice on the greens. Next to the putt, the approach shot to the green is the most important of all other shots. Every golfer and especially all beginners know that the approach shot to the green is hard to learn. As a rule, try as hard as you can and poor approach shot results in a topped ball, or is too strong and goes over the green into the pit, or stops short of the green or is turned from its course by striking some obstruction or unevenness of the fairway. Don't let this discourage you in the least, for as a matter of fact, Mr. Good-Player and even the professionals very seldom make a perfect approach shot. While many good E. W.

L. failed to schedule for taxation all of and her friends took it -into their ; his personal property. It is said that heads to give her a surprise, which he had scheduled from $12,000 to they did. She was the recipient of j ible shot if you have a bunker or a pit between you and the green, which is very often the case. I think every player should acquire a pitch in the air shot for an approach to the green as in no other way are you sure of getting over a bunker of pit that may lie between you and the green. For a very short approach shot to the green I generally use a niblick. If it is a-little further-1 use a dead-stop pitcher up to a distance of M ' , say about seventy-five yards, and r 1 when the distance is seventy-five to | When you can flight, which" means a follow thru. Dont make the shot by letting your dub cut a half circle around you by going off to your left after tife* tNfcll is hit, but make the club follow^ along after the ball as far as your arms will let it Don't top the ball, but get under it, and you can see by iihe place the ball hits the wall whether you are getting it up. Practice swinging the club without any-ball on the mat and be sure that each time you make the stroke your mashie 'grazes the mat, and in this way you are sure to learn to hit the ball without topping it. Keep up this practice till you can hit the ball at least twenty-five times in succession to your entire satisfaction without a miss. When your" back yard is dry and your neighbor is not watching you, slip out and try the same thing'nn the ground, shooting this same rubber/ball against the side of the house on some other building. When you feel you have mastered this shot, take a dozen or fifteen practice balls and commence practicing with them and the mashie, and don't shoot them at first over twenty to thirty yar^s. Dont mind the direction the balls go till you are getting three-fourths of them up in the air. You get them up by hitting down on the ball and , you must hit them on the down stroke of the club, and after the ball is hit (never before) the club should take some turf. This is the only way to perfect this shot and raise your ball in the air as it is impossible to get the ball in the air by trying to get under it with your mashie. When you hit down on the ball, as described above, thO loft of the»uh raises the ball in the air and in no other way can you get the ball up. get two out of three PRAISE FOR M'HENRY PLAYERS^ HARVARD HERALD THINKS WBLLOF LOCAL TEAM* ji In chronicling the county basket ball tournament as staged at the Harvard high school gym last week, the Harvard Herald pays the following high compliment to the McHenry quintet: "McHenry started the scoring and kept a good lead thruout the game until the' last few minutes of play in the fourth quarter. In fact, Mc- Henry's showing was surprising and took the Hebrons off their feet, for they had expected an easy contest. The first half ended 10 to 8 in Me- Hcnry's favor and all ten players going good. For every shot McHenry managed to sink, Hebron followed up with one for their side, the lanky Prouty starring for Hebron as far as field goals were concerned. Winkel, McHenry's captain, played: a fine game, but the. remarkable dribbling of "Dick" Overton of the same team was the sensation of the afternoon. Overton, who happens to be a freshman, performed some Bobby Birkhoff stunts that were a revelation to the crowd, which was ready to cheer the little forward at every turn. Tire finals gave Hebron 22 points' to 16 for McHenry." All 10c tobacco, 3 packages for 25c, and all 15c tobacco, 2 packages for 25c at Erickson's store. SPECIAL YOUR. MONEV.weRe.

You can never play real golf unless you acquire a fair approach shot, but you can do this if you will only practice on this particular shot, but you will never acquire it by playing around the course, as in playing eighteen holes you only get a chance to make eighteen approach shots, while with a caddie and twenty-five practice balls you can play fifty approach shots in about one hour.

Master this club along with your putter and you can play a fair game of golf with only the two clubs. Now don't wait for the season to nicely up in the air, then commence practicing for direction. Set your basket, or anything else, twenty or twenty-five yards away from your pile of balls and see how close you can drop all of the balls to the mark, but be sure you get them in the air. Practice of this kind gives yon control of your mashie, teaches you the right stroke and in this way you will be able to make a good, fair approach shot to the green, and femember, the more you practice these shots the better will be your approach. Our golf professionals practice for several days before starting in a big tournament and they practice many hours on onq particular shot by using twentyfive to forty practice balls with a caddie to gather them as they are shot. Every club should have a professional if possible, but a professional will never make a golfer of you unless you practice. The pro will show you the stroke and start you right and it is then entirely up to you whether you will become a flair golfer or forever remain a "dub."

Both were very enthusiastic over the lay of the land, saying it is one of the best places for a golf course they have ever seen, there being fine natural traps and hazards, the soil right and everything to be desired to make an ideal nine hole course, and both expressed the hope that it would be converted into a -country club.
