the trick. In the days of the solid gutta

the full swing, and 10 was very Wild IN dirso1

OF his drives. He was one OF the hfsk

One reason that impelled him was perhaps

simplines the follow through and snables
him to get the full force Of wrists, arms
and shoulders into the finish.
The women players in the preliminary
swings on the tee have regular round"
the-circle swing, but. a. the motion eomes
times ends with dainty pirouette. it proves
nothing but diligent practice before

perceptibly shortened.
Mrs. Charles T. Stout, however, has
beautifully rounded full swing. in which
the speed sensibly quickens just before tho
IMPACT, and her follow through Ia equally
GOOD. Her style is nearer to that OF the
Willie Park school than any OF our amateurs,
men or women. She has an undtsputed
lead in the long game among the women.
