Overall Refuses Offer. BY HARRY B. SMITH EAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-I can't help but wonder whether it is go ing to bo a good thin:? for Bobby Jones to go into big league company as rap idly as has been planned for him. San Francisco has secured Tiller Cavet, a southpaw pitcher from Detroit, and has promised in exchange that Bobby can join the Tigers next Spring. There is no question that the San Francisco club is in need of pitch ing material and that, particularly at this moment, there should be a reliable southpaw in the fold. Curly Brown hasn't made good and Wolverton was desperate. Also, he doubtless figured that Jones would likely be drafted in the Fall, and just at this stage of af fairs winning the 1915 pennant is of far more consequence. Jones Needs More Experience. There is no question that Jones looks to be promising material. To a certain extent, however, he is a dia mond in the rough and needs polish ing. He is a natural hitter to a great degree, but can be taught some things about stepping into the ball, or meet ing it. Against left-hand pitchers he has been anything but strong, and a majority of his home runs have come right here in San Francisco, with that short right-field fence to aid him. lie fields well and throws in good shape, and while it might seem hard to critiolse him, there are a lot of little things that could show improvement. Given another year under as capable a manager as Wolverton and Bobby would then be ripe. Perhaps his na tive talent will keep him going as it is. At all events, he is a well-behaved boy and deserves every success. Wolverton lias arranged that In the event of his failing to make good with the Detroit team, San Francisco is to have first call on his services. "That doesn't mean," said -Harry, "that I think Jones is going to fall down. I think he ought to go well with Detroit, but if they can't use him, we will want him right back here with San Francisco. Trouble in Bee Camp Reported. There is a report in San Francisco that dissension in the ranks of the be.lt Lake baseball club is responsible for the recent sorry showing of the team.. The gossip is. that the ball players on the team wanted Eddie Hallinan to play third base, but that .Manager Blankenship insisted on us ing: Barbour for that position. It Is said this same dissension was what caused Blank to offer to trade riainnan, Harry Hannah and Eddie Faye to Oakland for Red Kuhn and Rube Gardner. That last bit of talk is absurd, for the Oakland club wouldn't think one. moment of getting rid of Gardner. Slated for release in the spring, jriube has come to be one of ine most popular men on the squad ana is nitting liKe a demon as well Personally, I think the yarns about dissension on the team just about ao mucn trash. The Salt Lake club In some respects appears to.be funda mentally weak and in others the team nas Deen playing over its head. .Diana laugned at that same sort of talk in the Spring, but it is possible now i win conclude there was some tning in tne criticism which was based on conditions and not personal feeling. Johnston S hurra Old Dash. Jimmy Johnston seems just to have struck the stride that made him so phenomenal a base stealer when he was with the Seals. Up to two weeks ago, despite the fact that he was lead iug me league in stolen bases, his worn, was more or less perfunctory. j.iu.t. reueuny, ne nad commenced to Khow the dash and daring that made him so popular. It isn't likely he will steal bases up to his San rCrH record, but he ought to go over the 100 mark before the Fall draws to uaiiu, ana mat will be going some. As a run-getter he has no competl iion woriny ol the name and it isn't iu ngure nis value to the Oak land club, from a standpoint of keep ing the team up in the race. Of course .lack Ness has done wonders this vear' out Johnston is always a consistent performer. Overall Rejects Offers. Before he left for home, Blanken ship said there wasn't a chance for him to get Overall. "It wasn't a case of salary." he said for I was willing to pay him anything within reason. Just about the time I thought he was going to sign the con tract he said he would think it over. After that he refused, and I am afraid he will not play ball. He surely has va. oiuu ana would be a asset for our team. That's wanted his services-" Blankenship also denied the story that he was negotiating for the serv heV, 3 "etIlnS- recently released by enice.

In the opinion of Rudolph Wilhelm, Oregon s goil champion and crack of the Portland Crolf Club. 'Every man has a certain way of standing. No two stand alike," said Mr. Wilhelm yesterday. "I have often been asked which Is the best way to stand for this or that shot. In my opinion the best stance for any shot is the way in which a golfer can make that shot the best. 1 never try to imitate the masters, because I can't do it, but I play my own natural game and get along well enough. If a golfer can hit the ball stand ing cross-legged better than any other way, why naturally that is the way he should play the game, instead of trying to Imitate someone else to the detriment of his game." There are many ways of standing. consequently various plays call for different stances. When a player has taken his stance and is addressing the ball, the next thing is the important question of how he should stand while in action. Having the foot off an inch or two may spoil the best stroke that could have been made. Stance Xot Governed by Rales. There are no rules , governing the player's stance, and many allowances are made for peculiarities of individ uals, says Mr. Wilhelm. However, there are general rules that golfers would do well to heed; he thinks, ere their habits become so fixed that they will come to much grief on the links through neglecting this part in learn ing the game. After the right stance for each stroke has been selected, that is the one that gets the best results, the player should stick by It and use It the rest of his days. He should never forsake it for some other, even though off his game and feeling very much inclined to dodge it. However, If some other is found better, then after careful consideration and much thought it Is found permissible to ef fect the change. Mr. Wilhelm declares he has used the same stance always. .Distance between the feet and from the ball depends on the individual, and no set rules may be put down. It would be impossible for a five-footer to stand in the same position as a six- rooter and vice versa. There is. how ever, says the state title-holder, one general rule that all players should follow. They should stand far enough away or near enough to the ball to allow the shaft to reach to the left knee with just a mere trifle of a bend in it when the face of the club is laid against the ball. . This will do away with over-reaching and other errors ana aiiow a tree stroke. Arms and Legs Should Relax. When In position and readv for th play both the arms and legs should be relaxed a trifle. This Is to do away with any feeling of stiffness and al low a full, free swing and freedom of movement. Always the first thing taueht to a oeginner is tne method of properly gripping tne ciud. xnere are manv snps maae iamous by well-known goiters. Wilhelm uses the interlnrlc lng grip hooking the fore finger of tne len nana witn the little finger of tne rignt wniie holding the club. He grasps tne club at the end of the leather padding. Another grip that has been made famous because used by many famous stars of the links is the overlapping grip. In this the right hand, which is me lower or the two, partly over laps the left hand. For those who can use it to advantage this grip Is con sidered a good one. It has the benefit of having both hands work as one. Wilhelm is a firm believer in using every club in his bag. He. carries the following: Driver, brassie, driving iron, mid iron, jigger, pitcher and putter. He has never carried a cleek and does not use it. For cleek shots he uses his brassie. which, he says, has more 'ad vantages. "There are no pets in my bag." he says. "I use all the clubs I carry In stead of making a practice of favor ing one club, as is the case with sev eral golfers I know. One fault that some golfers make, according to Mr. Wilhelm, is that of standing too f,ar over the balL This is wrong, for the amount of the bend to the body should be governed by the lay of the ball. Another common fault Is a wide open stance on the full shots. . Still another fault accredited to many Is that of quitting on the shot. This is what is termed the "stab shot," and one that Wilhelm declares is a big mis take, as the stroke should always be completed. BY HARRY VARDON, British Champion. ONB of the points which promises to last forever as a Subject of golf debate Is the question as to the precise degree of difficulty which should enter into the pastime. We are all agreed that a thing that anybody can do without much trouble Is hardly worth trying to do and It equally certain that a pursuit which bristles with almost insuperable causes ot embarrassment does not fulfill the human ideals of a - recreation. The matter is particularly Interesting in connection with golf for the reaso.i that, in a very large measure, the game can be made as simple or as difficult as people want it to be. There Is no regulation as to the num ber or nature of the obstacles tnat shau figure on a course. There is, no law as to the length oi breadth of the course. There 14 no restriction as to the .kind of ball tha! shall be used; a no ' '2 -1 I'?.;.- Harry ardoa. a great deal of li cense is allowed at regards the form ol clubs that shall be employed for hit ting the ball. There is no other game so utterly lacking In what we may term the standardization of the skill test, and the consequence is that the character of the game va- c cuvtuivusijr in uiuciCUl I'ldLCa. American Courses Easy. For the greater part it is too easy. I think, in America. Inuring recent years the tendency in Britain has been to make it too hard; that Is to say, to introduce so many pitfalls and tricky putting greens as to place luck at a premium. Lest the reader should be beginning te think that I am a born grumbler, let me add that there are plenty of fine courses In either country; the danger of the others is that they may be regarded as models by new comers to the pastime and hinder those converts from appreciating in good time the true beauties of golf. Seattle occurs to me at the moment as a type of many American links. It could be made splendid, but at present It is not sufficiently rigorous In Us test. Or perhaps I ought to say that such was the lmpresssion which I formed of It two years ago; whether It has been altered in the Interim I do not know. It has every desirable at tribute of nature; its general appear ance puts me very much In mind of Sunnlngdale, one of the most famous of English Inland courses. Properly bunkered. It would have few superiors. Sportsmanship Is Developed. That the members of a club like their course to possess all reasonable difficulties has been shown in the case of Revisloe. When I was last there I was told that for a considerable time spirited protests were made against a scheme for adding to the trials of a green which really boasted very little character. At length a particularly persevering official carried the day and after a while the members In general found the thrills of the game so great ly increased by the conversion of the links from lameness to f ull-bloodedness that they presented the champion of the change with a cup. At the same time It is possible to spoil a course by overdoing the ele ment of difficulty; Myopia has appealed to me as a place thus marred. It is not that there are too many bunkers; the trouble is that the hole Is cut too near to the hazards guarding the green, wUh the result that a sensible player resigns himself to the fact that it Is dangerous to try and put an approach close to the -pin. 1 gathered when I was at Myopia that this plan of cut ting the hole close to the bunkers was followed consistently. Myopia Haiardi Dlsappr There is a happy mediur.. m these matters; difficulties that call for the exercise of perfect judgment are splen did, but it seems to be to be bad to ciscourage ooionesj. i could never work up a mite of affection for a hole of the style of the sixth at Myopia. wnen one is expected to pitch to a small green on a kind of earth-pimple. one knows at the outset that it will be largely a matter of luck whether the ball stops on or runs over. The principle of cutting the holes close to bunkers was tried at St. An drews. In Scotland, on the occasion of the British open championship of 1905, and was roundly condemned by practi cally all of the competitors. The ground was very hard, so that the player had either to steer a course wide of the hole (and the hazard) and trust to running up with the next shot to within holing distance, or else get Into the hazard and hope to put the recov ery shot close to the hole. James Braid won tnat championship and I think he owed his success In a considerable measure to" his ability at extricating himself from trouble. He is a truly wonderful man in bunKers; I am not sure that I know anybody quite like him. His great physical strength Is naturally an Important asset in this connection; It enables him to take more sand than any other golfer I have seen. I remember an incident in another championship which Braid secured at St. Andrews. J3e was In Uio bunker Just short of the green to the left. It was a critical situation, because the competition was Hearing Its close and he had not many strokes to spare. Everybody who has been to St. Andrews knows the terrors of the bunker In question; it has cost many a player halt a dozen or more strikes for the reason that he has proceeded from the bunker to the dreaded road beyond the green and then back to the bunker and sc on to distraction. Braid had to send his ball about eight yards to put it close to the hole. He used every bit of his power; came down well behind the ball and raised a vast cloud of sand: and the ball rose sluggishly from the force of the dis turbance in its rear and stopped .with in holing distance. He hit like a Her. cules for that little shot (as one spec tator remarked, the very earth seemed to tremble) and it was one of the finest bunker strokes in history. If he had played it in any other way In. all prob ability he would have been on tha rvad. Buskers Takea Purposely. This, then is the only conceivable justification for cutting the hole close to a hazard; It affords plenty of scope fcrr the exhibition of skill in bunkers. In some instances, one knows perfectly well that one will be in the sand, and at times it Is a matter of looking for the best place to enter It. - Such was the case in a tournament held in connection with the opening of the Cooden Beach links In England a course which must have been laid out with a view to Its being regarded as the last word In difficulty. I was so fortunate as to win It; 1 think I must nave been good at recovering from bunkers that day. Wo were all getting into them and doing It cheer fully and resignedly with an eye the whole time for the most favorable po sition In the hazard. When Braid and I opposed Duncan and Mayo for 100 In a foursome a few years ago, I put my partner into the bunker on the left of the fifth green at Walton Heath In each round. I knew that we were sure to be In a bunker of some kind and that the one on the left was the easiest. The oUn was vindicated; we won the hole in each round. Great DltTlrsjlties Opposed. At the same time, there Is not much to be said on behalf of this ultra-diffl cult golf, which gives the player hard ly one chance In a hundred of laying an Iron shot close to the pin. It adds to the number of strokes required for the round, but It dees not necessarily prove that the course Is so good test of golf as one that can be done I fewer strokes. . While certainly I would have everv green liberally guarded, I do not think It Is possible to say anything finer of a course than thit It encourages bold approaching. Particularly would nave tne Dunaers at tne back or a green at least ten and preferably 15 yards Den in a tne pin unless the shot ordinarily demanded consisted of noth ing more than a short pitch. To have hazards three or four yards In the rear oi tne noie is bound to cause timidity, which surely need not be pro moted In a spirit of sheer cruel-heart ed n ess. s During the last year or two. a wave .of reasonableness has come over the spnere or British golf-course architec ture. Putting greens, which were de veloplng absurdly tricky attributes In their deliberately constructed dips and rolls, have asxumed something like their old condition of fairness, and the craze for having little pot bunkers In the middle of the fairway (snares which caniaot always be seen from the spot at which the stroke Is played) has died down In a considerable measure. Surprise I tankers Disapproved. i nave always leit that I lost a "News of the World" tournament st Sunnlngdale through getting into a pot bunker at the 18th hole, of the ex istence of which I was unaware. The Incident happened In the semi-final and I hit the ball just as I Intended. Unfortunately. 1 had not been called on to play this hole In the preceding rounds, and my astonishment was as great as try indignation when. on walking towards the spot to which had struck the ball. I discovered little bunker and my ball nestling In it. Nevertheless, downright essy golf Is a dull recretatlon and It Is bound to retard the development of a high standard of play. My experience con vlnces me that most of the courses In America err on the side of simplicity, I have played on many and I should say that two out of every three pos sess this fault. There are some on which one hardly ever sees a bunker It is possible to hit the ball In almost any direction without getting Into seriou trouble, and In the absence of a hazard guarding the green, a half- topped apppvich may finish In a better posltiorr than a perfectly, executed shot.
