PUSH SHOT REQUIRES PRACTICE
IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE
By FRANCIS ODXMBT.
I AX not oort&in -whether it was
Duncan or Campbell who first dis-
covered the push shot bat I do
clearly recall the first time I ever saw
It played. At the time I did not un-
derstand golf very welL I looked only
for results. The reasons for them
was beyond me. It o happeoed that
I went out to see Nipper C&apbell. tbe
old Brookltne Croatry dub profee-
slOBal. in a match. He was called
Bpon to pitch to a severely trapped
green and X noted that be chofte a
maahie oiblSc with which to play his
shot. I saw his ball leave the etnb
head on a low trajectory and strike
the preen.
I think nearly all of bs expected the
same result that comes when a fellow
tops a balL We looked to see Camp-
bell's ball bound on and over the
green Into one of the yawn ins traps.
To oar amezement it took just one
boand and then died as though the
life had been taken completely out of
it. It was evident that Campbell had
planned it all In advance.
Hilton Used It.
shot and he told me that it was called
the trash shot. It was a lontr time
before I saw It used a fain success- j
1UU.
In fact the next time X was for-
tunate en ouch to see another
soil er play It with confidence was
when I watched Harold Hilton
durtns his American invasion
which brought him our amateur
title. At the time Hilton used It
very frequently. On one occasion
at Apawamla In 1B11 he played
this ahot to one of the treens In
such a manner that It looked for
all the world Like a half-topped
stroke. Those of us near the giecn
expected to see his hall go scoot-
Ins across It fa to a deep trap be-
yond so low was It nyinjr. But
like Campbell's hall the first time
I ever saw this shot played. It
took a lens? bound and then died.
Later that same year. I saw the
present British open champion. George
Duncan play an exhibition match at
the Wollaston Golf club with Mike
Brady. It was a windy day and on
many holes the wind was at its height
and dead against the players. What
I remember most clearly about that
exhibition was the phenomenal way
la which Duncan played a low flying
ball into the Toeth of the wind and in
such a maimer that It stopped dead
after striking the ground. Since these
days this shot has taken hold very
rapidly in this country.
Is Beally rateable.
It can readily be seen what a valu-
able shot this one is for a windy day.
No other approach can be handled
with such telling effect for the high
maabie with all the hack spin in the
world la a questionable attempt on
such an occasion. The push shot is
not. But we have discovered since
those times that the push shot has
other uses as well. It stops a ball
better than any shot I know of. That
means its mastery wonderful
thing to jinssess
To execute the' push shot the
ball Is struck ust m shade below
the axia in moeh the same man-
ner a bfUterd player would play a
draw shot. This causes a terrific
baek spin to he imparted which
causes it to atop immediately npon
ramlajc into contact with the
ground And as It fa played low
such a ball simply bores Its way
through space almost uninflu-
enced by the highest winds. The
hands are In adranee of the ball
when It is struck and this tends to
turn the faee of the eteb ever the
hall. Tb is Is done to smother the
height that the hall might other-
wise have
Then the arms are held stiff so that
the ball can be punched away from Its
rooting pJnce. As the body has to be
slightly ahead of the ball as welt the
whole tendency Is to crowd the ball
down to keep it low.
As I said last week this shot Is an-
other product of climatic conditions.
The British players simply had to
solve an approach other than the high
pitch with backspln to the greens on
BOXING GAME

Milwaukee Wle Dee. 18. Accord -ifigr
to news from California the box-

ers became mixed up In a dlseraoefal
affair with two cirls in San Fran-

mitted dastardly assaults on two tele-

Kruvosky and Murphy if guilty will
no doubt be given tb. ansae medielne.
There should be no sympathy for
them whatever and It Is certain other
boxers and the fans who follow the
sport have no use for such violators
of the law; la fact they wflTo last as

Bat why punish all boxers lust be-
cause two of their calling violate the

Two wrongs do not stake right. There
have been cases aad not so loag ago.
where baseball players were aoeueed
of serious wrong doings bat that did
not call for wiping baseball from the
map. As a rule boxers that is the
better class of boxers live a pretty
clean Ufa. especialy during the past
decade or two. Give the guilty oaes

Lynch in New York May Re-
suit in Calling Off Contest
Milwaukee Wis Dec. 18- Does the
reaching of Pete Herman bantam-
weight champion with Joe Lynch
contender for the title at Madison
Square Garden. New Tork December
22 mean that the Itle holder has
decided to again abandon hss match
with Jimmy Wilde British flyweight
champion set for January 14. 111?
It was the canceling of a match be-
tween Herman and Wilde set for
London last season that was the
cause of Charles B. Cochran London
promoter giving up his active interest
In the game and also forfeiting- his
contract with Georges Carpentier for
the proposed match with champion
Jack Dempoay. At that time Herman
and his manager had accepted terms
signed a contract etc. but at the
eleventh hour drew out of It and
canceled the same. It cost promoter
Cochran a bunch of coin aad he had
no oomebaek.
Recently R. J. Welch of London
formerly of St. Loam Mo. was la New
Tork and signed Herman to a new
contract to meet Wilde In London
January 14 isn. the chaiapioB to
receive a young fortune for his work.
Only two weeks ago Mr. Welch dls-
glayed the following cablegram from
erman's manager Sammy Goldman:
"Herman will positively box Wilde In
London. January 14. according to
agreement. Will arrive there one
month ahead of time for match." As
the date of the match between Her-
man and Lynch Is set for December
sz. it wooia oe impossible cor htm to
get away before the Uth or there-
abouts and wonld not land In Isidn
until after the first of the year. That
would be very close to his match with
wuae ana not according to his agree-
ment. Then too should Lynch beat
Herman which Is not at all ftaoroik-
able it would knock .the match with
wnde gaily west aad oace more the
London promoters would be la the
soup.
On top of all this comes a kick
from the lataraatloaal Sporting dab
of New York. The latter orgaa&attoa
claims to have a contract with Her-
man for a match prior to anything
else aad threatens to make trouble.
No doubt Mr. Welch Is also grot ting

They must have a pretty rank lot

when it came la the second round he
let go his "Mary Ann" for an upper-
cut and Beckett took the count of 10.
Moran must have learned to use the
nppercut rrom ma rotton. lor It
was with an nppercut that Fulton
knocked out Moran in New Orleans la
three rounds about four years ago.
Moran Is not considered In the same
class with Dempsey not itn Fulton
