I'll never forget the thrill. Next
season ! might knock 100, or II the
Yankees clinch their present lead ]
might be conspicuous in the coming
world series. But I never expect an
other thrill like yesterdays.
The minute Bill Bayne let go of the
ball. I said to myself, Here comes
No. S." 1t was the funniest home
run feeling ! ever experienced. My
arms, and eyes and legs all seemed to
sense what was going to happen.
Even Elmer Miller, at third. seemed
to catch the speel and started for
home as though he had a guarantee
I would come across.
Fans Cut Loose.
Then, the big thump, and the fans
cut loose. never heard such whoop-
ing. I never saw SO many straw hats
sailing through the air and, best of
all. I never received such a reception
as the boys gave men in the Yankee
dugout. Take 1t from me-that was
the thrill that counted.
Fans, who have followed my home
run progress are undoubtedly now
asking two questions. How does he
do it?"-and Can he repeat?" All
season, through the columns of The
American, I've been answering ques-
tions from fans. Now it's my turn to
ask one.
I'd like to know how many fans
in Washington would gamble five
cents on my chances of hanging up
another record next season. OF
course. since yesterday thousands are
saying, IT told you So" But have
@ hunch that some of these very fel-
lows were panning my weight last
April and counting me out in May.

the way they hold the club at the top
of the swing. A great deal Of impor.
tance should be attached to this. The
left wrist should always be undor the
club instead Of bowed out as you often
find in the beginners style. When
one has this fault there Is no chance
whatsoever to get any power into the
blow.
Here is a pointer that might help
some in remembering to keep the left
wrist underneath. II you were chop.
ping wood you would hold the axe in
such a position that you would be
able to put all Of your force into the
blow. The same can be said Of the
golf swing. Then you are posed at the
top of your swing. II your hands are
in the position to strike hard you can
then be satisfied that you have the
proper grip on the club. Try to i'm.

club in your hand that II Ia an axe.
and when you go back, stop for n few
seconds at the top Of the swing and
see IL you could strike a hard blow
at a tree In that position.
II your wrists are spread apart.
you will hastily put them together.
They should always be in a line di-
rectly underneath the shaft. Get this
idea as quickly as possible, and II yoI
have not held your wrists in the pc
sition I suggest, practice II immediate
ly when you get hold Of a club.
All golfers should have some golf
club around the house to pick up oc'
casionally. Just handling a club Is
good practice and has great fascina-
ton. Every pro likes to get a golf
club In his hand just to test It out.
Perhaps 1t Is the force Of habit.
Another serious fault with the ma
jority Of players is in releasing the
hold on the club. I have explained
that II you had an axe in your hand
instead Of a golf club, you would
strike with a lot Of vim. Would you
therefore, try to hit an axe with a
lost grip on the handle?
The chances are you wouldn't strike

you take the club back II is not abso.

the club in a death,like grip. but the
grip that you must have when con-
Meeting with the bail. Hold the club
firmly. When at the top OF the swing
do not relax the finger hold on the
club so the club will fall down and
hit your shoulder.
II the grip is relaxed in the least
degree do it with the right hand and
not with the left. A firm hold with
the left will keep the club in its
proper place.
AS you descend with the club there
should be a gradual tightening Of the
hands preparatory to making the hit
You must never hit the ball without
having a tight grip on the club. This
goes with every club from the driver
on down to the putter.

GRIFFS MAKE MONKEYS
OF BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Now Baltimore fans. at least some
1000 of them. know the difference
between a major league ball club and
Jack Dunn's two-time champions Of
the International League. Yesterday
they saw the Griffs smother the ORR

in which Lefty" Groves, star Of the
Baltimore staff, was smashed for five
runs, including a homer over the gar

at bat. He Is left-handed batter. and
as usual is weak against southpaws.
However. in a recent game lefthand-

Meusel with Ruth on base, and Pipp

years ago, when he twice led the
American League in driving out four

Averages are Inflated.
The batting averages Of George

reason Of the fact THAT Burns. a right.

and Johnston, a left-hand.d hitter.
faces right-handers exclusively.
