In Last Five Years
New- Tork. Dec 81. The amazing
growth of Interest m golf, is' evident
from th fact that there . are now 114
clubs in ; the Metropolitan GolS asso
ciation, which five years aso had only
78. Six war admitted to membership
during the year, four ol them sttuatea
on Long Island. ' It Is estimated that
it takes $2,000,000 for th annual up
keep of thes playgrounds. Th finan

of S3.&S1.8b.
L It Is rare Indeed that two national
events are awarded to tne same local

SUCCESS DUE TO, FRACTICE.
Sarazen. by dint of practice, has
overcome every weakness in his game.
His strokes are powerful and accurate.
So much so. tn fact- that he has an
overwhelming amount of confidence in
hi gam; confidence that would seem
bombastic if . found In many players.
Accuracy is a great .thing in. golf.
Sweetser has It in ample quantities
and so has Glenna Collett.
Ther still ar those who - believe
weight, and strength ar essential to
distance shooting. But Hutchison and
Wethered. two of the best drivers in
the game, are far from being giants.
Hutchison would rate as a bantam and
Wethered, while tall, is a lightweight.
But both ha vo mastered ' the art of
timing and the. us of th wrists.
One finds few : big muscled players
among the champions. They ; have
strength, of course; but It is found In
long; slender muscles that have whip
Like - power and suppleness. In fact,
few athletes, except wrestlers, 1 have
big bulging-muscles. The ball player,

A hAttar cnlflnsr ; nair - than ' Gene
Saraaen and Jock Hutchison, playing
as a team, and Til show you a pink
moon."
This enticing offer. was mad to -us
by v an enthusiastic 1 golf i writer. It
came up la a discussion over the lumi
nous pair, who are on a transconti
nental tour of about 8000 miles cover
ing a period lof three months and In
volving 85 or more exhibition matches.
We would love , to see - a pink
moon," was our answer, "but we cant
think of a better combination.' Oene
and "Hatch" were discussed at much
length, also , other stars; , ''
As w see It,' they ar well nigh
unbeatable. Apart from their golfing
wisardry their, mental attitudes are
something to b reckoned with. They
are direct opposite but blend Beauti
fully. . - V -
Sarasea is unimaginative, well caned
the "Bat Kelson of Golf. a pluggsr,
a methodical dispatcher of balls, who
sees only victory before every engage
ment and - who Is the most sarprised
man In the world tt be loses. It lent
swellheadedness." nothing Ilk it. It
is -splendid confidence . - - 1
"Huteh" is imaginative, as high
strung as a thoroughbred of the Man
O War type, capable of ascent to dixsy
heights and susceptible to a crashing
descent in his gam. He Is easily per
turbed, and often is so affected by sur
roundings as to fall off bis game
-tragically.
now. consider this fact.- Sarasen Is
an ideal partner for "Hutch," steady,
seldom getting Into trouble and there
fore not faced with th necessity m of
making a - etupendous array of shots
to recover lost ground. His steadiness
will have a soothing effect oa "Hutch."
Furthermore, and very important, . he
will cheer Jock along with encouraging,
remarks. That's his way.

footstep of those In Britain. Changes
wefe made from time to time In dress.
in tourney methods. In club details, in
chamolonshin formulas - and the like,
with America the copyist. Now w
see a change, writes John O. Ander
son, prominent Eastern player. :iOBW
time ago a matter or several years.
In fact the TJL a O. A. undertook the
difficult task : of "waking -a ? national
handicaa list, and only those who were
found capable enough were permitted
to be on that list and play in tn na-
uonai amateur event. , v
v But the method was soon discarded
becaus. it was not only too cumber
some, but was more a matter or opin
ion on relative merit than actual proof
of the' year's growth or diminishing
power In golf. The country was too
large .for everybody, to be rated and
so th sectional .idea grew into oeing.
It has worked out well and with s
further reduction in the handicap rate
for eligibility will prove the saving of
the championship in tha matter of
mau lieiua.." . :.
USED PICS STSTEM
'.The plus system has been In use
in Great Britain for many a day and
there are ' few golfers of the older
school who ever dreamed that it would
be don away -with.- " Th par -of th
various courses was never based upon
a yardage score and a a result any
one-who went round the course m i
was supposed to be a scratch player.
Then , th stars who went below that
figure were called plus men. s
With the lowering of oar on th vari
ous courses through, a livening or tne
ball there was reached the sam gen
eral standard, with th result that plus
men were as numerous as scratch, men
as local clubs are here. Only plus men
were permitted to enter the amateur
championship a few years ago.
Later, with a revision of feeling to
ward golfers 'who were handicapped as
high . as plus seven , and ; whose play
was no better than our on or-two
handicap men. there was a-violent re
vision downward -: and dubs were
called on to have bo men on the list
who were more than plus thre. But
at Prescwlck last year ther was just
as many as ever, well over 250, popping
around ror tne amaxetur cnampienanip
event. Something had to be done, and
now the powers that be have copied
the system which the u. a. Q. A.
started and discarded, the national han
dicapping idea.
TOtntKET I3f MAT i
The amateur champion Holderness
win be rated at scratch and there will
be no plus men. With aim will be put
Tolley and Wethered, : and the ether
member of the international team will
b rated all. the way from one to two.
Those in the Isles who do not have a
rating which Is as low as our eligibil
ity rule, namely four, will be eligible
for the amateur championship at Deal
the coming May. By the way, the ama
teur championship will be played tbe
week -v beginning May $,'. somewhat
earlier than heretofore. -' . - t , -

Captain Charles Clarke, Errgllshman,
widely known to metropolitan golfers.
Is to succeed Oene Sarasen as pro of
th Highland dub in th Pittsburg dis
trict. - About a. year ago Clarke leu
the Engineer's club at Roslyn after
two seasons servlee to locate with the
Huntington, W. Va xIub, . H - won
his military '"title' In th war.
than has ever been present tn Britain.
There are tew sectional organizations
such as the Metropolitan or Massachu
setts, for example, . and dubs : them
selves will have to make a plea for
thetr respective stars. - -,:,'--
.The younger ; element will have to
make a name in local tourneys before
being given a rating and while this
will keep a few possible chances out
of the list it cannot be helped. But tbe
club's . handicapping win be aided
wonderfully and we shall know more
nearly the . comparative excellence of
American and British golfers when the
ust is published. - f
- If John Jones ' at SealM-th Is tbe
scratch player of his club and be is
rated at four on the - national -handi
capping ' list, then the members who
have been rated at one to four, after
this chap will ba lifted to their proper
place and b handicapped at five to
eight. This is one other way In which
standardisation and uniformity is
working out on both aides of the water.
And Instead of having a great many
players in the dubs satisfied if they
beat the scratch score of the course,
which seldom Is below 78, there will
be testing v strength of par such as
we have in America with a conseavent
raising or tne standard of play .
Changes in Deer
Hunting Law'toBe
Made in, California
Sacramento. CaL. Dec. SO. (TJ. P.)
In order, to standardize the deer sea
sons in . the state to remedy certain
abuses, several amendment to the
present state deer law will be. submit
ted to the new legislature by the state
fish and game commission, according
to Commissioner George Neal. - .
Becaus under the present law ' a
hunter may get his season- doer limit
in on . district, and then get the sea
son-limit in another district, the chief
amendment that will be proposed will
prohibit taking deer shot in" a district
where the season is open into a dis
trict where it Is closed. :
Neale Intimated that the commission
will also ask, that th limit of deer b
cut from two. to on a season, and
that an increas in the present license
tax be made to take care of tbe pres
ervation, fund with which the com
mission 'carries on its field work. -
"Sportsmen and sporting clubs au
over th state' are, according to Neale,
reouMttns that the department advo
cate an Increase in the anglers license.
The money raised in this way would
go toward stocking th stream area
which at present ar but scantily cov

NO MATTER how athletic a man or
woman may be tt does hot neces
sarily follow that golf should come
mors -easily to them thanito one Jess
inclined. . - ..-''
-As t tAr of every game., the finer
points are a matter of mental analysis.
To become a good golfer invalvea the
consideration of correct timing, ac
curacy, direction, rhythm, sensitiveness,
and, above all, a keen fondness for
th game.
AGE ITO BAR
The average golfer becomes vastly
surprised when It Is learned wher th
real power of, tb 'drlv should ; b
applied. ; ' ? . '
When this Is learned, together with
the nature Of a golf bail ia flight, or.
a knowledge of how far th ball will
travel when it Is hit property and
timed correctly, results that wilt follow-
will be surprising. Consistent
practice following the finding of this
knowledge will greatly Improve oat's
game.- ;' s" '.-''- -.-. ' .". " -:""':
Age should not hold on back. John
D. Rockefeller turned in a 43 card for
nine holes on his S2d birthday. The
older player must ''adjust h or her
game to their limitations. The. main
thing ,for any golfer is consistency ., -TBT
FOB SAME BISTAITCS
If you are capable of making a 200
yard drive, always strive to obtain that
distance. Never press a shot. Best re
sults will be obtained by playing a con
sistent game, rather than pressing on
one shot. . : ' ' y? !i; -
A story Is told of Harry Vardon
which is Incident to ' consistency, h
was playing a 400-yard hole. His drive
was 240 yards. When he cam up for
bis second shot, and much to the sur
prise of his partner, he was peeved.
His explanation wast "My drive is
consistently between 200 aad 210 yards,
and when I drive over or short of that
distance X am not so sure of my second
shot," . .. -. - "t-"' - V
It is unwise to put all your strength
into a drive, and it is . not . necessary.
Far and far between are long distance
drivers victorious ' in major tourneys.
Jesse Ouilford, winner of the national
amateur in 1921. was an exception. ..
Cyril Tolley. one of the longest driv
ers la England, ba been beaten by
many consistent drivers of lesser dis
tan. Figure out" each hole according to
your driving' power.
