The old injunction to keep your eye on the ball has lead to sonic scientific experiments. Now it comes forth that the player has a bet eye and that the detail of fastening the optic on the ball should be a matter solely for his "master eye." It is now determined that every player has one which serves him better than the other in the all-important act of keeping the eye on the ball. An unintentional experiment made in England some time ago, during a team match by a member of a Cam bridge university team, threw this subject into the field of discussion. One of the eyes of the player in question had been undergoing medi cal treatment and was bandaged closely at the time. In spite of this handicap he halved the match with his opponent and played fine golf at times. On some shots he found diffi culty in judging distance. Thia thin Int.reated m and I hava made toma Indoor exparlmenta thla win ter to determine which wae my 'maater aye." I hava ooncludtd that la my leli on. v Thla retulta, perhapa, from the fact that I cooked my head back a little on the back awing and alao on tha down awlnt to tha acfual htttinr At any rate, 1 am aura that I make a greater uaa ot my left eye In every golf awing.

In the execution of the lor.g-r shota the ball la played ao far away from the body that you get both eyea over the ball and allow the club to He naturally, which, by the way, la one ot the moat Important thtnge to ba borne In mind.

Brooklyn Reaches Own Lot Saturday New' York, April 6. Two more games remain of the series to be played in the south by the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Yankees.

Wrestling Has Sudden Drop With Mat Fans Rolling Falls Shorten Bouli and Male No Hit With Sportive Folk, New York, April 6. The noble art of catch-as-catch-cau, largely rarticipated in by retired piano movers, i dying lingering death within the confine of the (overeign state of New York. The demise ha not been proclaimed with official finally, yet the end is ordained and predestined. If a coroner' report were ren dered, the verdict would be death by. an overdose of legislation. The' Mate boxing commission, vetted wjth he power to control wrestling, foisted the system of flying and rolling fatli upon the game, and they have eaten into it vital like a can cerous tore. Right at the moment wrestling is permitted by law, but you couldn't prove it by the number of shows that are held. It is worth a pro moter's financial life to put on a se ries of bout nowadays, so abortive to public taste have the flying and rolling fall become. Matchmaker Is Hopeful. Until recently one Bill Wellman held down the dual role of match maker and promoter of wrestling matches at Madison Square Garden. Just now he is neither. Bill is a hopeful soul, but he doesn't carry optimism beyond the clastic limit of plain common sense. He was a modern Atlas, but finding the burden irksome stepped from un der. Thu far there has been no crash, for the simple reason that in terest in the wrestling game is so trivial the sport ran float in midair through its own lack of weight. In all. Wellman promoted two shows. The first was a harvest, the second a blight. In the former Stanis laus Zbyszko defended hi world's heavyweight championship against, Earl Caddock, and although some $25,000 was taken in at the gate it would have been worth many times that amount to wrestling had the bout never been held. The Pole successfully defended his title, winning two out of three falls with the obnoxious "roll," and 12, 000 fans went away vowing never to return. That was the blow that killed father. Promoter Finishes Second. A few weeks ago Wellman ven tured forth with another offering', snd it was a good one. Among those featured were Wladek Zbyszko, Strangler Lewis and Joe Stecher. all former champions. They . would hav'e drawn a capacity house under the old order. Not so this time. The sum of $8,000 was in the box office when they counted the returns, and Mr. Wellman finished a bad setond on the meeting. Further, those who did attend the matches were as one in declaring that they would come no more. Mr.' Wellman is no man's sap. He put two and two together without any aid whatever from an adding machine and forthwith took it on the run. i Thus far it has been a case of no Wellman, no wrestling.

Close to 100 swimmers will compete in an all-around swimming meet in the Los Angeles Athletic club's tank here to night, the feature event on the pro gram being a contest for the 1922 National Amateur Athletic union 150-yard back stroke championship.
