How often have you played the wrong ball, thinking it was yours ? Even if you have succeeded in escaping ^'Y*k this mistake, at least you have been put to some trouble to really identify your own ball. The Haskell White Streak with different letters for each player does away with any possible confusion by providing each player with a distinct identification mark for the ball he uses, in the shape of a RAISED LETTER. Ten letters are supplied — B. C. D. G. H. L. M. P. S. and \V. This unique convenience will appeal particularly to those who know the perfect qualities of the WHITE STREAK in driving, approaching and putting. It is the ideal ball for making good scores amUlie new identification letter puts it just that much further ahead of other balls. If the Haskell White Streak cannot be secured in vom city, of (let ft out its. THE B. F. GOODRICH CO. Akron, Ohio COLDWELL HAND, HORSE, MOTOR LAWN MOWERS

With our plan of degrees in cor- rect position relative to the object representing the hole, we will place a hall so that we have not a dead stymie hut enough in the way to require a slight curve to the right. ( >ur first step in preparation for playing the stroke is to place the Imtter head so that it faces to the left of the direct line to the hole, say about ^ degrees or so. Next we have to consider that we must swing the putter head in a course crossing the direct line to the hole, crossing at an angle that will correspond "with the No. 2 A ROUND OF GOLF WITH SEYMOUR DUNN might possibly find the following action should cause it to curve.

For my hand player, and also sliglitly own part, however, I like to stick to f< irward. my general method of playing "right To produce the latter, the putter foot forward," and when I find it should be held so that the face is absolutely necessary to play a curve slightly downward, thus bringing the to the right calling for all possible putter face to bear upon the ball a curve, I do what no doubt at first little above its rearmost center.

To me this is by far the easiest, seems the most natural, and is certainly the most accurate method of playing this most difficult shot—a sharp curve to the right. I am not illustrating this latter method, as I think the diagram will convey a more accurate idea. ( See diagram No. I. ) Now, in playing a curved putt to curve to the right, we have just as main' things to put into execution ;b in playing a curve to the left, I went to considerable length in describing all the details connected with the playing of a curve to the left, the manner in which the ball acts when in the act of curving and why the peculiar -"'4 .1 ROUND ()/•" GOLF 11777/ SEYMOUR DUNN

The rotary action should continue near enough in harmony with the ball's forward momentum so as to continue the whole action creating the curve, and not get upset by the ball's force of forward momentum. Near enough 1 say, because to give the exact and final truth in the matter the ball's lateral rotation should be the nearest fraction slower than would harmonize exactly with the ball's forward momentum.

Thus the ball starts off rotating so that the left-hand front portion, which comes in contact with the grass as the ball progresses, works against the grass in a one-sided manner, forcing the ball gradually off its original line of direction to the right, and the force of concentration gradually gains influence over the ball, drawing the lower pole of the ball's imaginary axis still lower all the time, which has the effect of No. 5 A ROUND OF GOLF WITH SEYMOUR DUNN 265

Moreover, you will find it no easy matter to get the right obliquity to the upper pole of the ball's imaginary axis.

The only Work of Its Kind ^^ In the History of Literature rERE'S an interesting and splendidly illustrated set of L boois that should be owned by every man or woman who likes to study human nature. It is the only standard work that describes the women of all races and nations. In its pages you may read how the women of China, or Samoa, or India, or Sweden live—how they keep house—how they marry—how they treat their husbands—and the vast col- lection of photographs reproduced in these volumes will show you how they look. Curious forms of courtship are described ; the psycholog- ical characteristics of women are discussed ; the toilettes of women are depicted, and the fashions range from the laces and frills of the Parisienne down to the scanty skirt of the Fijian belle. This is a standard, authoritative work, written by such men as Prof. O. T. Mason, of the Smithsonian Institution ; Dr. Grunberg, of the Berlin Museum ; Mr. Archibald Colquhoun, the famous traveler—but it is as interesting and readable as a story book. A Magnificent Gallery of Women of All Lands. A History of Woman. A Thrilling Library of Travel. Customs of Marriage and Love=Making The "WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS" is printed on sumptuous, fine surface paper, and is bound in handsome half-leather bindings. The volumes are large quarto. The work is superbly illustrated with hundreds of photo- ^y QO graphs never before used. These photographs were brought from every part of the world for this purpose. Among the pictures is a series of magnificent plates in color.

S proving a constant and increasing source of wonderment and delight to all musicians and music-lovers. Scientific experiments and acoustical I researches have determined the exact size, namely, five feet ten inches, necessary to reproduce the remarkable attributes and qualities of our larger Grand Pianos. Any Grand under this size crosses the danger line, as it cannot yield a tonal result superior to that of the discarded Square or the present Upright Piano. The full, rich and sweet tone of the Steinway Miniature Grand and its dainty appearance are already giving the utmost satisfaction to thousands of purchasers, and we recommend a thorough examination and trial of this unique instrument to anybody desirous of possessing a Grand Piano, but who does not wish to exceed the investment of $800 in a Piano purchase.
