THE RUN-UP
By BEST BALL
There is a definite reason why the run-up shot is more popular in England than United States. That reason is a seaside breeze, which blows with such force that oftentimes even short pitch shots to the green are swerved aside. On occasions the ball is blown two or three feet to the side of its usual trajectory by the wind. To offset this stroke devastating haz- ard, the players often resort to the run up shot, which travels a

An Early Start
It's the mellowness of BOOTH'S Dry Gin that makes it so much to be desired in cocktails. Such mellowness comes only from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks and BOOTH'S DRY is the only GIN which receives such care in ite.mak. ing. It is not to be wondered at that the 1st prize Cocktail in the Inter national Cocktail Competition was made with Booth's Dry.
