PAGE FOURTEEN THE. EMPORIA DAILY GAZETTE FRIDAY EVENING, APB1L 1 1 Days" in Putting. Now comes a point in the mfi- chanies of putting that will cause all kinds doubt, especially to beginner. He -will find that one day he is putting well and ttse very next day, apparently using exactly the same methods, ho te putting poorly. That must be considered as no fault the methods which have obtained good results the previous day, but requires some very studious practice.

It is more than probable that ths trouble is caused by a change of methods Dot readily noticed. Begin at the beginning and get the stance you have found most effective. Keep your mental picture of every part of the swing and go through it Take your stauco so that the eyes are directly over the line and try to find just what prevents the club being at right angles to the line throughout the -whole swing. It niay be- you have transferred more ot your weight to your right leg. Your right arm may not touch your right thigh and your elbovrS are akimbo; a position that Jets the body sway.

The causa may be that the left elbow is held in to the side instead of pointing out toward the hole. It all these points are looked over carefully and finally found to be correct, there should be a very careful observation of the position of the putter-during the back stroke and when it hita the ball. Have a friend -watch it, If possible. The putter must be kept low on tho back swing. It should barely leave the surface of the ground and should go straight back on this level as far as Your used Brunswick, Victor wrists will permit.

If tho practico and Vocalion records now have a indoors, there Is no necesiity of goiag back more than a fewj inches, it being understood that length of the back swing is regulated to the force necessary in getting the ball up to the hole. The ball must not be hit above tho middle of the baok In the putt. Theoretically, tho right point of contact is just below the mHdte. This will start the ball with direct overspin and should not start it with any loft. If this does not locate the trouble, it may come from the eye or bilious condition.

It not, it is almost certainly in the grip, the subject of another article. (Copyrielit. 1325, Western Newspaper Union.) trade-in, value. Ask the Pioneer Music Co. for further information, Notice.

IT LOOK 3 AS OMB Wl U. WHlT6fvVlT7 By Norman 13. Brown. I Last year Earl Combs, brilliant young outfielder, fresh from the green sod ball park, was sprinting along to fame in (he American Icagnc when He pulled a freak play that put him out of commission for the rest of the year. Combs unintentionally stretched a elnglo into two months in the hospital.

Cleveland fans can boast having seen the play. Combs socked a ball for a neat hit to left. He rounded ilrst, eaw that he had a chanco to make two on it and kept going. When he hit the dirt at second ho made his big mistake. He caught his foot in Ino bag and snapped an ankle.

He was rushed'to u. hospital and remained there through the greater part of the his teammates waged a losing fight for the pennant. Combs showed enough, however, before that accident, to convince Miller Huggins that the fortune he pa the American association club owntrs for the of its two big was not misspent. The question lingered unsettled all winter, however, as to whether he or Whitey had first call on the renter-fielding job. named a mean outfielder when the fit strikes him.

He can hit like a fool, too, when in a hitting mood. His play is erratic, however. In fact, it wns so erratic that Connlo Mack let Whitey go quite readily when h-s got a chance. Combs looked good while he was in the lineup He was a flash afield, fleeter afoot, even, than Witt. And he seemed to be able to plcklo big league pitching.

In fact ho collected a .400 average in the 24 games In which ho played. While Witcy hit well about at times ho wound up the season with a .297 average for 147 games. So, when the Yankee players reported for spring practice at St. Petersburg. early the past spring both lads were will aware that they would have to battle it out tor tho chanco to start the season in tho center garden.

It was a friendly sort of rivalry. When I first hit the Yankees' camp this spring the first two athletes in uniform who confronted me wore Whitey and Earl, standing side by side, bats in their hands, knocking "pepper" to a group of ambitious youths. A short time later they were roaming the middle section of the outfield in cliaso of elusive flies, out there by the energetic Miller Husglns. "I got 'cr, Earl," Witt would yell. 'Take 'er," Combs would yell back.

Huggins, however, kupt a close eye on both lads. Combs seem' to impress him First of all. Combs Is an 1C outfielder from a standpoint 1 build. He Is rangy without 1 n- Ing too long-leggnd. Ho covert lot ot grounds with little ox lion.

lie can stand a long can- palga. Witt, on tho other hand. Is on the pint His nfmhto logs carry him far afield but nf burns himself out in tho heat ot the summer sun covering his rltory. Sent into tho breach an emergency ho plays a ot a game. Ho cannot keep i tho paco, however.

Combs is a heavier hitter Witt, when ho connects. The Yank bosses and tho Yank fans like sluggers. Combs bats from the left elle) ot the plate. Ho gets away to first in good shape. This start enables him to beat out In- 1 field hits and stretch his longer lilts to doubles on occasions.

i Witt Is a southpaw hitter, and fast on lila foot. He d' not, however, hit as consistently- as Combs, judging by their work last season. So it looks as though Mr. Combs would have tho center-, nnlding between Babe Ruth and Ateur.el. Provided, of course, that Combs doesn't run into any gopher holes, grow forgetful about his feet when sliding Into baaes, or oft a curb backward into an auto.
