than the average spectator."
"A sense of balance, a keen ob- servation, the power of tact and to the discretion all attribute efficiency of a qualified referee, yet those who decry this official in all sorts of "gymnastle language" fail to realise their own mistakes and lack of knowledge of the funda
mental laws.
"The referes is the final arbiter on the game, and his decision should be respected in a sportsmanlike way by even the spectators 'playing the
game,'
"Questions of oft-side, penalties, 23 and other infringements are merely a matter of circumstance and per- sonal opinion. Difference on these points does not necessarily suggest weakness on the part of the referee, but I am quite ready to admit that on the question of the control of the game referees can be fairly critic ised.

Device Which Prevents the "Sting."
"I would appeal to the man in the crowd to understand that "the man Golfers who have tried the steal-with the whistle" gives a conscien shafted irons have found that a top-view, and as such

! This used to happen also in the days
of the solid gutta ball.
An attempt to overcome it has been made by an American who has invented a rubber cushion which is atted into the socket of the iron.
The cushion and thè shaft are pressed in by a special machina, and after they have been forced home the socket is crimped over to ex- elude the air, thereby allowing the rubber to preserve its elasticity.
I have tried these clubs, and must confess that they minimise the jar and also eliminate to a large extent the somewhat harsh feel of the steel shafted iron which is fitted either direct into the socket or let into a socket of wood.
Discovered in a Foundry. This improvement was discovered in a simple way. In a large steel laundry, where the workmen were always on the tap tap tap with steel hammers, it was found that, their wrist muscles lost their "kick."
To combat this a rubber cushion
let into the tvus
hammer-head where the shaft joins, and at once the jar lessened and the workers* efficiency improved.
I hear that there is to be placed on the British market shortly a steel shaft which has all the torsion of hickory and which has practic ally eliminated the jar on the wrists when the ball is hit off the toe of the club.

I have not been able to test this new idea yet. It has been legalised in America where it would not have been sanctioned had there been the lightest suspicion that this type of shaft would drive further than
hickory.
Horton Smith, the American who last winter in the sunshine at Florida won all the big competitions,
had to pse hickory, of course, as. ateef shafts were not legal over there then.
