Hutchinson to Meet
Barnes ON the Links
For a $4,000 Purse
Match Will Be Contested
Tomorrow Over Course
of Soundview Golf Club

Que of the best golf matches of the
season will be played on the course Of
the Soundview Golf Club at Great
Neck, L. l, tomorrow. The contest
Will be between the two champions
Jim Barnes, holder of the American
open title, and Jock Hutchinson, the
british open champion-for purse of
$4,000.
Naturally, both Barnes and Hutchi-
son will cut loose with the best kind
of golf they can shoot in an endeavor
to bag that prize. But somebody. some-
where, recently made the statement
that Barnes was not taking the match
seriously-that he knew he would col.
lect enough money. in the losers end.
something like $500.
Such a statement to anybody who
knows anything about golf is absurd
golfer, professional or amateur.
always gives of his best. But as for
Barnes performing in a perfunctorv
manner in a golf match, the very idea
Is laughable. There is not a more con-
sclentious nor more thorough. playing
golfer than the Pelham club star.
But despite all that this game of
golf is no game which one can play
IN leisurely manner without appear
ing ridiculous. 1t is hard enough to
score we'll when one-meaning a star
is giving his best efforts.
When Barnes was asked about the
statement he smiled and said: "Take
1t easy; don't they think care about
my title? But let me tell YOU some
thing. It's hard enough for me to get
decent score when I'm trying. let
alone taking it easy"
The match will consist Of thirtv.six
holes. The morning round will start
at 10 o'clock and the afternoon round
will get under way about $3.50 o'clock.

tsry of the newspaper mems golf club.
who is busier'than ever these days pre-
pairing for the tournament for disabled
soldiers at Van Cortlandt Park to-
morrow, wishes to give one last warn
ing to all those who intend to partici-
pate in this meeting.
The tournament is open to any golfer
in the workman, woman or child
and there will be enough prizes for
distribution so that the first hundred
at least will not go away disappointed
One lone dollar, which will be turned
over to the soldiers benefit, is all that
1t will cost each contestant. Play will
start at a. m. and will not finish
until dark.

body swaying that accompany so many
strokes.
The professional interviewed above
is right. If the golfer with shorter
club would encourage himself in the
knack of merely stepping up and slap
ping away at the ball with wrists and
forearms leading the assault he would
do far better.
We are referring here to those in
Vulnerable caravans who are far off
their games--far off any game of re-
spectacle form and design.
Those who are having serious trou-
Bile and appear to be jostled into de-
pressing rutland they are as thick as
the autumn leaves that once futtered
over the Vallambrosian plains could
at least start picking their way out of
the VALLEY of the shadow" by adopting
simpler attitude toward the game
by merely giving their wrists and fore
arms most of the attendant duty.
Once they begin to work in various
fancy pivots and shimmies they are too
far off the reservation to ever get back.
They have moved the head far from
its balance, have twisted the body out
of all alignment and in the course OF
the swing are sure to work the club
head we'll out Of its proper arc. If
they ever work it back in again be-
fore the ball is struck, it is merely
further proof that the day of miracles
Is not yet over, merged with the star
less night.
Just take a comfortable stance and a
comfortable grip Eve are speaking
again to those in the pythonian grip Of
slump, holding the club not too
tightly. Then, with the ball teed up
make simple attempt to flick the bali
away, with the body practically divorced
from the stroke. Watch the results
You won't believe that the wrists and
forearms can attain any such distance.
Later on, after you have worked out of
the slump, you can begin to get the
body In at the right time, but as
starter out of trouble, be sure that the
body figures very slightly in the eff
fort. We are not offering this out OF
any expert personal vision, but as the
suggestion of several noted teachers
to whom we carried the idea advanced
by the first professional interviewed.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-09-04

with the left foot just trifle back of
the right-that is, with the right foot
extended just few inches, slight
modification of the open stance.
2. With the feet placed where one
is in easy reach with proper balance,
the player should first place the club
head back of the ball and then bend
slightly from the waist with slight
droop of the shoulders, so there will
be nothing tense or awkward about his
swing. He isn't supposed to stand up
rigidly erect, nor yet to bend far over.
Just natural bend from the waist
line is enough.
3. With his feet properly placed and
his body in an easy position, we'll bal
anced, with the weight just a shade
more on the heels, with the ball not
too far away, he is then ready for the
swing.
Here I bring in another baseball il
ball you do not deliberately turn
your body. The body merely turns to
accommodate the throw. 1t is all part
of the same simple motion.
The same thing is true of the golf
swing. The body turns to accommodate
the swing, to give it freedom for the
stroke as the arms go back. The peg
in baseball, where the body is barely
moved, is like the chip shot or short
approach in golf. 1t is all a matter of
the right arm and the right hand
making the play unaided by the body.
There are, of course, slight changes
in the stance for various strokes. but
these will be taken up later, when diff
ferent clubs are discussed. / am now
referring to the stance one takes upon
the tee with driver in hand.
Don't forget, in the way of stance
and grip, that two of the main prin-
ciples of golf are ease and frmness.
Ease without looseness-frmnes with
out tenseness.
And never attempt to correct slice
by standing just little further away.
This is the worst thing you can do,
as you will then fall forward into the
bail and very probably slice worse
than ever. Your hands should be we'll
down and your elbows under full con-
troll, and this can never happen when
you have to reach out too far. The
left hand should be we'll over the club,
never under the shaft. A firm, even
grip with the left fingers and a lighter
grip with the right fingers prevents one
from jerking the club head back with
the right hand, which is one of the
most common and one of the most
fatal of all faults. You can't very
we'll do this with the same right-fin-
gered grip on the club that you use
upon a baseball bat, which is exactly
the right pressure that is needed for
the snap or whiplike motion that sends
the club head crashing into the ball.

Tales Of a Wayside Tee

"What would you consider the most
common fault among buffers? 2" we
asked a noted professional recently.
We knew. that was something of an
order, recalling the vast field from
which his selection had to be made.
Yet his answer came after only q
few seconds of deliberation.
Moving the body too much.
II believe it would be fine thing
for the average duffer," he continued,
IF he would make an attempt to use
only the arms, as starter, anyway,
letting the body move only enough to
prevent the swing from being entirely
zoo rigid-just to hit the ball naturally
with the hands, wrists and forearms,
without any attempt to get much dis
lance.
"In the first place, the duffer would
be surprised to find how far one can
hit golf ball with only flick of the
wrists--one can tee up ball and by
q simple blow with the driver-using
only wrists and forearms, still get 100
or ITO yards.
Another Aid.
"lr, order to work more into hitting
with the wrists and forearms, the aver
ssf,S P'esySA tSSNc q SHOAtCI Clup. MOSt
of the golf clubs now used are too
long, and in anything as delicately
balanced as q golf swing, two extra
inches can cause a lot of trouble.
Take the average duffer who is
wild off the tee. Let him get driver
around forty-one inches and in swing
ing merely slap the bah away, only
swinging bit more than half way back.
Let him be sure his body enters very
little into the stroke and that his head
is reasonably still. This isn't very
much to ask if one will make up his
mind to do it. Yet the results will be
astonishing. / am sure"
Trying Too Hard
The dufrer has sere and rickety
time Of it, largely because he or she is
so entirely keen to soak a sockdologer
that the effort is beyond CONTROL
This earnest desire to paste the
pellet out of sight-or even to hit it
only reasonable distance-causes
most of the strange contortions and

Officers of the handicap class Of

all members the opportunities for fine
sport which the class now offers. Dur
ing the early part of the season the
prevailing light winds failed TO give
adequate data for the computation OF
handicaps by the class rule, and il was
necessary to rely. IN part, on arbitrary
figures.
With stronger breezes in all recent
races it is now possible to compute all
handicaps by the rule, with fair week

of races scheduled. and all subscribers
in the class are being urged to enter.

Back in June Jack Dempsey looked upon Labor Day
for another financial harvest The least he could see
another hogshead full Of doubloons But Wizards
memory happened to be just bit too keen. For all
that the spectacle of big, husky ex-champion with
desire for return match is trife unusual But
how many who received what Willard got two years
ago would clamor for an encore?
The Final Dash
The American League flag affair seems to have
resolved itself into this outline: Can Cleveland on
the road grind out victories than the Yankees at
home?
These two clubs were practically even at this stage
last year, when Cleveands fine home stand and New
Yorks rocky road play through September left Speaker
in charge of the top.
Speakers personal leadership was a big factor
in last September Indian rally at the last frontier
finishing at home, with many long range htters,
gives the Yanks far better chance than the one they
botched up year ago.
Downey or Wilson?
The momentous question is to be settled at last
Within few hours shall know whether Downey
whipped Wilson at Cleveland, or whether the referee
whipped Downey.
We shall also find whether Wilson trained care
essiy for that surprising encounter, whether he
was clearly outcassed by better man. For, regard
less of the referees decision Wilson made poor show
ing for a champion
Wilson and Downey are far from being the two
greatest middleweights that batted for title
But for all that this is precisely what they will do
and with championship at stake what ordinarily
would be only ordinary affair is something sure to
entce out many thousands If by any chance there is no
winning punch to leave decisive settlement there will
be more than few singing reoinders made after what
took place in Cleveland Another non-productive meet
ting would leave the two mddleweight debaters ont
the rim.
