Indeed, he states that it constitutes nearly fifty per cent, of the game. This little brochure explains his methods, and also Mr, Jack White's in their own words.

HERD and HARRY YARDON Cloth. $5.50. net (Postage 22c.) Illustrated by 26S Action Photographs The author has been fortunate in securing Mr. Harold H. Hilton to write a few words on each of the amateurs, criticising their game as he sees it. As Mr. Hilton is the only amateur who has twice won the Open Cham- pionship, and has a most keen power of observation, besides vast experience of the game, his views are a great addition and help to the correct interpreta- tion of the Photographs. From these pictures he can see the stance at a glance, as each Golfer is standing on a square of four feet divided into six-inch squares; and he need not be constantly wondering if he is on the right lines, and is standing as his model does, or following his methods.
