and exceptional running ability. The
star Of last years great eleven at
Washington and Lee Ia in fine form

issue, and he is just the player to
turn such trick. Turner Bethel,

The Washington times., 1921-10-30

The wind-cheater was undoubtedly
named thus on account OF playing
against strong wind We do not
know here in this country much
about the wind that blows almost
constantly on sea side courses such
as they have in England and Scot
land. This shot was known to me
I'm my boyhood days at old st. An
drews because the wind has a habit
of blowing very hard there at times,
although II Is supposed to be an
inland course.
Different Now.
In the early days. II was not
nearly so important as 1t is now
because the rubber-cored ball WHICH
came into existence about twenty
years ago has made a shot OF this
description much more necessary and
the fact that one is able to get a
better purchase on the ball with the
club has made the shot more scien-
tific.
The wind-cheater starts off with
q very low trajectory, barely skim
ming the ground in it's flight. The
ball begins to rise gradually and Is
mover in danger of hitting the tops
of the bunkers. 1t is sometimes at
its utmost height at the very end
of its flight. After dropping to the
ground. 1t runs quite little ways
as the wind has practically taken
off all of the twist.
The wind-cheater carries a great
account of back-spin which Is the
cause OF the balls rise. There Is
little difference between this shot
and the ordinary drive Of great
many golfers who have come to rec
osnize It as just as valuable on
calm day as it is In the wind.
When there is no wind the ball acts
quite differently, as the back.spin
will carry 1t much further, although
there will not be quite as much roll.
The action OF the wind on the spin Is
very great, but the ball has a greater
chance Of getting through and being
controlled than has a ball that Is hit
out straight without back-spin or a
slice or a hook.
How to Cheat Wind!
Those who possess an upright style
such as Vardon or Duncan, l name
Them as the greatest examples, can
play the shot best. The swing back
is straight as possible to make it.
The follow through can be exag-
gerated to it's fullest extent. When
done properly the club will finish in
front of the body. This is because
Of long follow through which makes
a long finish impossible.
Remember, in a previous article I
explained that there was a very great
difference in the follow through and
the finish of the swing. Strange to
say few golfers grasp this point.
Because a palyer has finished with
the club away around behind his
back, It does not necessarily mean
that he has had a long follow
through In fact, it is often just the
reverse as the club head leaves the
ball rather quickly to make the cir
Gle Of the arc complete. The follow
through constitutes the period when
the club head is in contact with the
ball.
The important thing to remember
about the wind-cheater Is that the
ball is hit on the downward swing
which produces the necessary back
ewing and is the only way possible
to get such spin.
There should be no wavering of
the ball from left to right or vice
versa II hit properly as l have
described The wind-cheater is a
full brother to the push.shot, as it is
made in almost exactly the same
way with the same result. except

Vera Gordon, whom Lewis J.
Selznick presents as the star OF the
Select Special The Greatest Love
at the Strand Theater all week be-
ginning tomorrow, as the photo
dramatic attraction of the vaude-
vile and picture bill, has probably
had the most sensational rise OF
any star in photoplays.. From OBJ
security she has just become a star
through her magnificent work as
Mamma Kantor," the Mother Of
"Humoresque," and 1t Is claimed
that her role of Mrs, Lantini in "The
Greatest Love" is an even more re-
markable Characterization.
For years Miss Gordon played in
the various stock companies, those
excellent training schools in which
SO many Of our great stars acquired
their first rudiments Of stagecraft.
and later she became known as
playing Mother" parts in the stag
plays. The Land of the Free"
why Worry" and "The Gentle
Wife," all of these roles bringing
her the highest praise and COM
mendation from both press and
public
However. 1t remained for the pa
irons Of the, photoplay to acclaim
Miss Gordon as star. This oc-
Cured during the initial showing of
the screen version Of Fannie Hurst s
story, "Humoresque."

production of "The GIlded Lily"
starring Mae Murray. which win be
shown at Loew's Columbia today.
Because of their. wide recognition as
villairs. film fans will doubtless be
greatly puzzled as to which is the
guilty cne in this picture. But the
story has been given such a clever
twist that they will hnd still
greater surprises in store for them.
Both mca have done remarkable

Sherman provoked the Kisses OF at

cruelties to Lillian Gish in Way

Miss Murray, with her blond
beauty and sunny disposition, would
serve well as the motive for any viii
iainous work in a picture. There
are many opportunities for rough
work in the cafe Royale, a popular
