i | G OLFERS, in beginning, should
| realize there are many ways
j to learn the game. We mean that
the rrmne is founded on a general
j I principle from start to finish, but
that due:, not exclude one from using
ludividiial naturalness to develop
thi ir golf.
All professionals have their peculi¬
arities. This Is very noticeable on
the putting green and is just as rad¬
ical on Die tee. but is hidden by the
power of 1ho stroke.
For that reason It Is very difficult
to imitate the drive of your favorite
golfer.
Johnny Farrell lias a very peculiar
putting form which Is all in his
hands. He digs this nail of his right
thumb into the Icathor of his putter,
Johnny says this method keeps the
wrists working In a straight line.
This also lessens the danger of "roll¬
ing wtixts," which sends the putt
to the right or the left of ttie cup.
Whether this is true or not It
Is Farrell’s belief, it may ha taken
aa form, or confidence.
Hagen’s putting Hi considered the
finest. Die stance is wide open, with
feet far apart as illustrated in the
drawing. The hall Is played well off
the right foot, his elbows are close
to the body and Ills putting Is done
with the wrists.
His game is mtieh the same
throughout, whereas Farrell's differs
with almost every shot. Farrell's
feet arc close together on the green
and wide apart on the tee. Between
these points his stance varies with
the distance of the shot, ^ ^

Babe to Sign Contract Monday
With New York Yankees Call¬
ing For $80,000 Per Season
For Two Years.
B> 11,AN GOULD
Asf.c .dated Press Sports Kditor
_ 1 he St. Petersburg, Fla., March 8. (fp)—
eoptraet controversy betwaen
Babe Ruth and the New York Yan¬
kees was settled quickly today when
the home run king agreed to terms
for the next two years at $80,000 a
year al a conference with Colonel
Jacob Ruppert, the club owner.
Formal contrnels at this figure, an in
eiease of $10,000 over Ruth’s previous
salary, will be signed on Monday.
Ruth, deciding overnight to capitu¬
late It. Colonel Ruppert t; compromise
offer, came in to St. Petersburg at
noon to seek out the colonel and de¬
cline an armistice in the battle that
has been waged for several weeks.
The Babe was kept waiting more
than an hour in a hotel lobby before
Colonel Ruppert n. turned from a walk
but it took them only five minutes to
reach a complete agreement on the
basis of lln- club’s last offer, made
and which Ruth had at. first
rejected.
Ruth had held out for $85,000 for
three ye.us but. yesterday trimmed his
demands to this figure for two years.
Ruppert, originally offering $75,000 this
for two years, added $5,000 to
yesterday and “stood pat” on it.
The big hitter issued his statement
immediately aftei coming to the terms best -
“Being persuaded it is for
inteiests of the Yankees and being
c: ger to step right in and give every
help to uu. new manager arid
my old pal, Bob Shawkey, I have eon
my point and accepted terms
for n two-year contract at $80,000 a
"I am confident that my play will
more than justify this contra t.”
Ruth was. prompt’d to make a quick
. ft! mi at of the issue, not only what by
the advice of fiicnds and
amounted to a “command” from Mrs.
Ruth, but also by a desire to avoid
the risk of injuring himself in exhi¬
bition games while unsigned. The
Bnhi, freed of further restraint, left
his conference with Colonel Ruppert,
to rush out to the park, get his uni¬
form and report for the first exhibi¬
game of the training season with
the Braves.
