"VrVien T say fairly firm wrists. 1 want to convey the idea that they must not be too stiff, ' says Jock. "Players:, especially beginners, sometimes find the club head turns wen it comes in contact con-tact with tbe bail, It is because they are not hitting through, or. in other words, are quitting on the shot too soon. "If ' you find you are not swinging right, "don't bG afraid to experiment. It j ta"kes a conjurer a long time to learn to t balance a feather on the end of his nose, livery golfer who has achieved any success suc-cess "has had to go through the experimental experi-mental stage, and it is the little points they have picked up from time to time which have rounded out their game."

Some queer stories are told bv the gou-rs at "the nineteenth hde," but one ot the strangest was related at the Pine Valley club, of Philadelphia recently. They were discussing a 'man , who v.as so wild that he was liable to I .injure other players on the course One of the members commented that it was tor just that reason that the late George crump had built Pine Valley so that there was n,ot a parallel hole on the circuit and it is impossible to drive' mto another fairway, no matter how wild the nlayer mav be. x
