GOLF IS A PERPETUAL STRUGGLE FOR

Tom Haliburton who recently established a new record aggregate of 126 for 36 holes, outlines his philo- sophy of golf. He says: "Conquer. Your Fear of the Ball."

MASTERY BETWEEN THE MIND AND THE BALL

Says TOM HALIBURTON

Golf is the perpetual struggle for mastery between the mind and the ball. When the mind triumphs your golf improves, when the ball wins your golf declines.

That is the truth of all truths about this game. It is by far the most Im- portant fact I shall state in this article. And it is the one fact we all and I Include myself sometimes forget.

Hampshire 312 Hours

Surrey Dismiss For 151 In

London. June 25.

Surrey, County Cricket Championship leaders, pul up a fine performance today in dismissing Hampshire for 161 in three and a half hours.

Five Hampshire batsmen were sent back without a score.

Alec Bedser and Tony Lock were responsible for Hampshire's collapse. Bowling with pace and accuracy, Bedser took five for 41 and Lock, who in one spell claimed three wickets for one run, finished with three for 22.

Surrey themselves lost four wickets for 33 rung in reply, but a stand by Jeff Whitaker and Jack Parker took them to 05 for four by the close,

Kailey, who with 21-year-old Colin Griffiths, put on 183 in 91 minutes for the eighth wicket, made, 156 not out, including two sixen and 16 fours, in a say of four hours and five minutes.
