(As told to Artie McOoveru.) You often hear ft remark to the effect that ft prize fighter has left his stamina in his training quarters, and this same theory applies to the golfer who wastes his best shots m the practice tee. Some practice Is necewary, of courM, but hitting balls off a prac tice tee for several hours at a time Is not going to Improve your game. Ten minutes each with the woods, the Irons and the putter, 's a fair amount of practice, but more than half an hour only brings about unneceansry physical exhaustion, blistered hands, and an additional mental hazard In the realisation that your game Is far from perfect. ' One of the best methods of prac tice is to go out on the course at a time when It is not crowded and play three balls on each hole. This gives you an opportunity to study the various shots, different lies and distances, and since you play alone, you csn take your time and not rush your shots. BASEBALL RESULTS Coast Seattle ...
