Wager of $5 on Each "To Win" Selection of 11 Racing
Experts in Week Would Have Netted Loss of $181.25
Though Experts Have Far More Knowledge of
Conditions in Racing than Average Bettor.
By FRANK G,
NEW YORK. Juno 24. If you in
sist upon betting on the ponies
it might be well for you to take
a squint at the table below which will
gim you a. tip-off on the long: chances
you take in winning.
The table shows Just what happened
to the 35 selections made during the
Keek of June 7 to June 12 by each of
the 11 most famous newspaper racing
authorities in the United States. Dur
ing the first three days of the week
June 7. S and the selections cov
ered the races at the Belmont. N. Y..
tracks. The meeting closed at Belmont
on the night of the 9th and the racing
was transferred to the Jamaica, N. Y..
track on the 16th.
in explanation of this table:
The table covers only the "to win
selections made by each expert.
Bach day each expert chose a horse
to win in each of the six races. That
made a total of 36 selections. The
table shows how many selections won.
and how many selections lost-and the
number scratched.
Table Shows Losses.
The money figures are arrived at on
the basis of a. person having wagered
55 on each selection of each expert.
Here is the table:

T will notice from the above table
that if each of the 11 experts, had bet
on their own 36 selections throughout
the week only four of them would have
won and seven would Save lost. And
you will notice too that the net re
al, f tn iacr4nfr Ml Meh selection Of
each exnert throughout the week'
would have caused a net loss of J1SL25.
The experts referred to are real
newspaper experts. They are not fic

Putting Witt Drag
By P. A. VAH.E, Author of Modem Tennis, Modem Golf, Etc
-r-v IGP.T at the beginning of
the i
Kgame it is well for the beginner
to understand that for all pur
poses of practical golf there is only one
way to put and that Is to roll the ball
uo to the hole. This at first glance
may seem like superfluous advice. Tet
it is not so. Many writers and teachers
encourage the idea of putting with
drag which in this case means back
spin. I have heard good players say
that one should "slide" one's long puts
up to the hole. This means to put back
spin on a ball or drag as it is called
in English billiards, writers have used
the analogy of billiards to uphold this
idea of putting with drag, but very
little consideration will shew us that
the idea is not sound.
The billiard ball is much heavier
proportionately than is a golf balL It
is much smoother and it has a much
smoother surface to travel on than
has the golf ball; also the blow is
struck with the cue in a manner that
Is not possible when one is using a golf
club The whole force of the blow
with the cue is concentrated in tfne
place and beneath the center of the
ball's mass, also the cue Is moving to
almost a perfectly horizontal line.
Sow the golf ball is comparatively
light, very rough and it moves on a
ery rough surface, to wit, the average
putting green. I do not wish to appear
disrespectful to American putting

Here is the result of the concensus
of opinion selections covering the
same week. The concensus of opinion
is arrived at in this way: Bach day.
after the 11 experts have made their
selections, these selections are tallied
and the horse selected oftenest by the
experts becomes the concensus of

a. week for favorites. But those who
followed FX throughout certainly took
some awful risks to win. Time and

greens so I may as well say at jnee
tnat x am nere speaiting ay way cz
comparison with the billiard table.
It follows quite naturally then that
the golf ball cannot retain its back
spin for more than a very few feet
for the friction is too great.
There is also a very great objection
to putting in this way that one does
not see stated by those who ought to
know of it. As the blow in order to
produce back spin or drag must be a
downward stroke It often makes the
ball jump off the green as It starts on
the way to the hole. This frequently
means inaccuracy at the most critical
period of a put the aiming period.
Now, what one wants the put to do
is to hug the green as closely as pos
sible and no put does this so well as
the put that is simply rolled up to the
hole, that is. the put that is hit with
an even pendulum swing.
Through the green, whieh means
from the tee to the putting green, one
wants the ball to get Into the air. On
the green one desires It to hug the
green, to keep as close to It as possi
ble. Now a ball at rest makes a certain
depression. If one starts it rolling to
the hole it will continue to make near
ly the same amount of depression all
the way. provided it is started with an
even swing.
This means that the put that Is
played with the plain swing without
any attempt whatever to put on spin
of any kind, particularly back spin is
the put that must be relied on for S7
of lee strokes n the green.
One must have no idea In one'B mind
beyond rolling the ball into the hole
1 with the putter. It is on account of
xnis tnai loitea putters are Dad; mat
is to say that no putter should have
more loft than just enough to enable
one to see the face of the club when
the ball is addressed. Any one who
uses a greater loft than this and phts
well does so in spite of the loft and
not on account of it. It is impossible
to say how much better he or she could
put if the ball were played naturally.
There is another very grave objec
tion to putting with oack spin. It al
most demands that one hit the ball
now, any one who hits the ball must
be inconsistent. The length of th nut
should be regulated by the length of
ta" swing.
it is practically impossible
to do this with the nut that i hit

&suwu Kiia uram ooin putteu witn

putters, then they found it out and
abandoned it. Woe be to the player who
now calculates on getting back any
thing from either of them on the green.
His lot Is, indeed, likely to be hard.
Both of them now roll their puts up
to the hole smoothly.
Go ye and do likewise.

"Let Hostilities Break Out,"
Is Eufemio's Comment,
in Letter to Garza.
Mexico City. Mex., Saturday, June 5.
(By mail) President Wilson's recent
declaration on the Mexican question
has created a sensation in the capital
and throughout the federal district. A
letter received by president Gonzales
from Gen. Eufemio Zapata, brother of
Gen. Emiliano Zapata, can be taken as
a sample of what some of the military
element think in this connection:
"Cuatla. June 1. 1915.
"Answering your message of today
referring to intervention I can only
say that we are Mexicans. Two times
before this, we have been threatened
as if we were children. (
"Let Hostilities 'negln."
"If these northerners do not wish to
take Into consideration our rights as
guardians of Mexican soil; if they deem
us weak and incapable of defending our
beloved country: if they consider it
honorable to allow a great nation to
sink a ship like the Lusitanla with
impunity and then to desire to mix in
our political affairs simply because
they are strong, then I say let hos
tilities break out. Let them bombard
our ports with their -great squadrons,
as we have no warships. It does not
matter.
"Let them send millions of their
soldiers. We will fight them one
against 200. But never will the Mex
icans be intimidated by the braggad
ocio of the Yankees.
"Will (Answer With Lives."
"If I compromise myself by these ex
pressions I and jay followers accept all
responsibility. We will answer with
our lives if necessary. We will go
against these invaders and drive them
from. Mexico.
"Our country and history will later
cover 11s with glory for not running as
cowards before this powerful nation
that wishes to crush us for committing
no greater crime than that of fighting
for liberty. Although we are incom
parably smaller we are more patriotic.
We have no arms nor have we ammuni
tion, but we have breasts wherein to
receive bullets. (Signed)
"Eufemio Zapata."
Gen. Roque Gonzales Garza was de
posed as president of Mexico June 10.
YAQUIS MUTILATE BODIES
OF THE SLAIN AMERICANS
On board TJ. S. S. Colorado, off Guay
mas. Sonora. Mexico, by Radio to San
Diego, Calif, June 22. Photographs
which show mutilated bodies of several
Americans reported killed by Yaqui In
dians were received here today from
the Yaqui valley, where the Indians
have been making raids for several
weeks.
Advices received today stated that a
military train with 200 Villa soldiefs
was sent Tuesday from Empalme to at
tempt a rescue of a construction party
of two Americans and 16 Mexicans re
ported to be at work repairing a rail
road bridge over the Yaqui river near
Corral, about 75 miles from here.
The work train of the construction
party was attacked by Yaquls Sunday
and 24 of 80 Villa soldiers sent as an
escort were reported killed, eight
wounded and 22 missing. The Yaqui
losses were not given.

The Three Blind Men
and the Elephant,
They were taken to "see" the elephant. The first one touched the
trunk and said that the elephant was like a snake. The second
one grasped a leg and said, "How like a tree!" The third passed
his hand along the side of the huge beast and said, "Just like a
wall." As is frequently the case, they didn't combine their knowl
edge. Take three engineers and their lubricating problems. One has
achieved perfect valve lubrication. Another has reduced wear and
trouble on his guides. The third knows how to make gears last
longer.
The combined knowledge of the three would increase the value
of each one to himself,- and to his employer. How can they ex
change experiences?
By getting in touch with an organization which has worked out
thousands of these lubricating problems. Such an organization
is back of Texaco Lubricants. Unlimited experience in all parts
of the country, plus the means for giving you the benefit of that
experience, enables us to solve your particular lubricating problems.
On this basis we have built up an extensive, growing business in
all classes of lubricants. The engineers who have benefited by
our service cover the country, and embrace every industry yours
included.
