decreased. the distance between Nc
Dermott's feet decreased in proper
ton. His feet were fairly well to-
gether on short mashie shot. only
an inch or two apart for a chip
shot and heel to heel on a putt.
In this way McDermott. who
had unusual, mathematical intuition,
could regulate his stance to the
eyelash.
There was no variation in the po-
sition of his feet for the same dis.
tance to be met.
The Matter of Balance.
It is. after all, merely a matter
of balance and comfort. One might
wonder how Jim Barnes could ever
work himself into any such putting
attitude without extreme discom-
fort. He appears to be in an atti-
tude of dislocation. Yet Barnes
says that he can maintain his bal
ance better in that fashion.
Chick Evans looks to be extreme
ly comfortable in every position he
takes until he reaches the green.
Here Chick frequently seems to be
at less ease. His stance lacks the
comfortable ease possessed by Oui-
met and Travers upon the green.
In majority of cases you will
hnd the better putters keep their
heels fairly well adjacent when
near the pin. although w. j. Travis.
the greatest putter of all time, was
content to keep his heels well
apart.
Not Too Close.
Ia.
better balance with his feet fairly
well apart.
When his heels are close together
there Is a tendency to sway through
lack OF effective bracing.
Yet IL the feet are spraddled out
too far all ease and comfort are
to get set and rigid.
Comfort and balance are two es-
sentials. Ever watch Norman
Brookes paw the earth with his
toe until he had properly adjusted
himself for the service? Much aft
er the same way Eddie Plank once
paved the earth before breaking
over a curve.
One of Christy Mathewson's main
occupations when pitching was
close study of the batsman's feet.
BY his position around the plate
Matty knew, from long observation,
what type of ball would be most
effective-whether the hitter would
find 1t easier to reach out for one
across the. outside corner or nail
one over the inside. The take off"
In any game is big part of the
pastime. Yet only a few have Civ
en- 1t any particular study or have
experimented to discover the most
effective position for the individual
case.

How Do You Standf

We have no reference. In the
above inquiry, to your views upon
the league of nations or Senator
Harding's Presidential worth.
Our query is entirely physical
with reference to your position in
the act of swinging a baseball bat
or a golf club.
For not even the leaders stand
anything alike. assuming various
positions just as they assume vari-
Gus grips upon bat or club.
The Case of Ruth. -
Ruth. in swinging u bat. stands
fairly close to the plate. You may
have already observed the straight
line his two feet make with the
right foot in front. But in swing
ing at a golf ball Ruth stands Alb
normally far away. In addressing
the ball the toe of his club lacks
an inch or two of reaching the ball.
even with his arms extended. He
has to reach for his drive, but he
finds that in this way he can get
greater distance.
Ouimet is another who stand,
