what longer from the tee. not much,
perhaps. but he will be found off the
line on far fewer occasions. But says
Duncan. when ID comes to playing iron
shots to the green the professionals are
81 eatly superior. Why does this dis
parity exist? Chiefly because the iron
shot more than any other in the game
Is dependent upon the poise of tho body,
and the professionals. probably because
or more practice, have finer sense Of
balance.
The professional as the club goes
back moves his body gently bur firmly
forward, so that the bulk Of the weight
is transferred rhythmically to the left
leg. And, most important of all. he
keeps his body forward and therefore
his weight forward till the end of the
shot.
That is the professional secret. The
ball is hit a descending blow 1t is not
tossed up into the air. 1t creates pack
spin and controls flight impossible IN
any other way.
The amateur, although he may know
that he ought to perform this little
moving forward, does not remain for
ward. He feels he must lift the ball at
all costs, he falls back, and the result Is
a sorry effort Or, II that does not
happen, the weight is kept back all the
time and the ball Is spun up into the
air. with no definite control over IT.
He ought to be its master. He ought to
lean forward toward the line of play
and thump the ball to its appointed
place.

HIT AT THE BALL,
NEW GOLF SLOGAN
Short Driver May Increase His
Distance by Following Abe
Mitchell's Plan.
BY JOHN G. ANDERSON.

Those golfers who have seen the hit
ting performed by the North Forelands
golfer. Abe Mitchell. while ready to
grant the tremendous carries (there was
one of 314 yards at Norwood. one of 80
at Washington, one of 300 at Skokie
and one Of 295 at Grassy Sprain) are
still puzzled as to the secret of the
length. They see him take the ordinary
back swing, crash down not through
but at the ball and then purposely
choke off that longish follow through
which for years was considered the
acme of golfing style. The ever keen
desire to follow the flight of the ball,
the rush of galleries, the quickness OF
the golf swing all make concentration
on his driving form difficult. But
Mitchell has analyzed the reasons for
his methods, a number of which We
Will enumerate.
l. A follow through, says the British
p. G. A. titleholder. be IL ever so fine,
is of little value IL the ball has not re-
ceived the full weight of the blow, for
If the power Is spread all over the swing
and not on the ball the drive cannot
over be one Of extra length. A golf ball
to fly far must get up a good initial
velocity. for the ball has to overcome
a blow directed on to the ball and not
through the ball. that process on which
SO many depend for theii exaggerated
follow through. The we'll struck ball
gets a kick and not push.
2. The most common fault OF the av-
erage player is to make an effort to
follow through with the club instead
of concentrating on hitting the ball 1t
Is all righ. to sweep the ball off the
tee as do those golfers who finish with
a splendid swish over the left shoulder,
but that sweep does lack the crisp nip
in the shot which gives added impetus
3. If the golfer will hit the ball firmly
and smartly the follow through will
take care of itself. Many players would
be well advised f when they reached
the top of the swing they were to hit
at the ball from that point.
4. In the drive II is important that the
first finger and thumb OF the right
hand should keep good grip of the
club till the very end of the swing.
Actually they do very great deal in
the hitting as we'll as the guiding of
the club head
The follower of these directions. even
IL short swinger, may add yards to
his usual efforts from the tee and with
the brassie. Hit at the ball is the new
slogan In golf.
Some very fine advice has lately been
given by George Duncan in an article.

lieve. Besides, they paired Jock and
myself in the Southern championship

friends who lost money on me In the

back"
Evidently Edgar was exceedingly tenn
peramental. 1t is told of him that last
yea when he returned to Canada to de-
fend his open title he was on the verge
Of packing his grip and returning to
Atlanta on the eve of the championship
because of some slight, fancied or real,
BY the management of the hotel at
which he WAS stopping. All the persua-
sive efforts of his friends were required
to prevent him carrying out his threat,
il is said.
When last seen by the writer Edgar
was bidding adieu to his family, which
he was sending back to England under
the wing of Harry Vardon. Dougs in
tention at that time was to follow In
the spring with Bobby Jones. Going
over earlier than he had planned he was
ready for most of the big professional
tournaments played in Britain this year.
his best appearance being at Formby.
where he was third.
Before leaving for England Edgar
told friend that 1t was the wish OF his
family that he again take up residence
in England. 1t was understood by many
that Edgar intended settling down on
the other side of the Atlantic, but fate
had it willed otherwise evidently. To
the surprise Of many Edgar's name ap-
peared among the entries for the Ame-i-
can open championship at Columbia, but
he did not appear for that event.
In his book Through the Gate" Ed
gar has left the American golfing pub
IL golden legacy. 1t is his own story
told simply and logically the story OF
how he built up his game by deciding
or his plan of action after long and pa
tient study and experimentation and
sticking to the scheme through thick
and thin. He was a believer in hitting
from the inside" Of the line, and in his
system he showed the value of keeping
he clubhead from running too far away
at the outset and from pulling in too
quickly.
In u nutshell that was his gate"
Watching Edgar one could see that he
was always striving after just this eff
feet. concentrating on what Abe Mitchell
calls the hit endeavoring to connect
with the ball as the clubhead came
along the line at the gate" and then
carrying through the portal until the
ball had left the club and was on It's
way. That was Edgnr's gate" which
he counselled his pupils and those who
would succeed as he succeeded to go
through. Doug himself has gone through
the gate for the last time and all who
knew him mourn the loss.
