On a hot day. in a pinch. a situa-

There is no denying the fact that
resin makes it possible for the pitch-

makes for a boiler purchase, which
means everything as far as slut! and

. GRIP.
One of the first-things to consid.
ervin goif'is the grip. as few rare-
ly start with the grip that they fin-
ally adopt later on. A bad grip is
about as common in self as a faul-
ty stance.
There are several recognized grips
used by well-known players.
Among pros‘l flnd that the over—
lapping. commonly unown as the
Vardon‘grip. is in most favor. i am
sure it is the most satisfactory.
.‘l‘hestory is told about a very ra-
mous Scotch player who had hands
much too large and in order to
make them appear and feel less
awkward be conceived the idea of
grasping the club iu1his left '» band
and taking hold of it with but three
fingers and the thumb of the right.
the little finger of the right fitting
snugly over the forlfinger of the
left. For his purpose it made an
ideal grip. but he was not permit-
ted to-hide his ovention.
Noticing the queer manner of
taking hold of the club. many pros
tried it out and all with varying
success Vardon adopted it.
