Dean Mathey Loses
Heights Casino Net
Laurels to Hunter

Dean Mathey, in the final round of
the tournament. lost his title of Heights
Casino tennis champion on the Casino
courts Yesterday. He was beaten in
straight sets by Francis T. Hunter,
whose deep, powerful, forcing shots
broke up Matheys defense. The score
was 81, 6-1, &c.
Hunter was in his best tennis mood.
added to his speed of drive, the West
chester champion had more than his
usual control, and the combination
proved too powerful for Mathews ten
MS craft and agility in covering court.
Hunter had to come from behind in
the first set, for Mathey ran into a
lead of % before his opponent had
settled down to his best, and then
bringing the score to 81 appeared
TO nave the set well, in hand.
Half dozen times Mathey was with
IN two strokes of the set, but never
within one point. Hunter fought off
the loss Of the set and played some
dazzling tennis in bringing the score
to 5--all He won it eventually in the
sixteenth game. After that Hunter won
almost as he pleased his speed keeping
Mathey on the defensive.
Mathey reached the semi-final earlier

Spring Tonic for Iron PLAY
Copyright, 1929, Ne1o York Tribune 1nc

/ There has been lot written lately
about The Art of Long Hitting" and
Inc value of Long Driving"
But IN this connection there is an
other, golf line that should be remem-
o3ered,m"They don't pay off on the
More time is spent upon practicing
with the wooden clubs than with the
irons.
Yet the irons are harder to learn and
are more important, since they come
INTO use on greater number of oc-
casions
When you stand on the tee with
driver or brassie, it is almost GER
talnty that you are going to let fly
full swing and hit about as far as
you can.
If the ball is hit high you may get q
good carry. If it is hit low you should
get good run. There is no restric
ton to the swing.
Quite Different
But iron play is different On one
occasion you have to hit just hard
enough to get 80 yards.
The next time the distance may call
for 140 yards. You are no longer
merely soaking the ball. You are try
ing to control your swing to hit GER
tain specified number of yards, where
matter of five or six yards may mean
lot.
The main foundation of iron play is
firmness in hitting. You will soon be
outdoors again and if you get the
chance | suggest that you start work
at once with mashie niblick, mashie,
jigger and midiron. If you can get GO
ing with these four clubs you are off
to q great year. After taking your po-
sition with the feet, the next thing
to remember is the pin and the green.
In starting your back swing you
want to be sure that your left wrist
is firm and that your right hand and
wrist will be ready to HIT through at
the right time.
But even after the right hand starts
hitting through, the left grip and wrist
still remain firm to help guide the club
head.
Straight Back
AS your back swing starts, be sure to
bring the club head back on straight
line running through the ball to the
flag or pin. Don't try to swing the
club around your body.
Let it start back along the line you
want the ball to fly. The left arm is
all firm without too much give to the
wrists.
Make a big point this spring of
avoiding your old mistake of trying
to lift the ball.

Combatants Finish Training Yesterday
Greb and Gibbons practically ended
their training yesterday afternoon and
it is improbable that either will do
more than go for long stroll to-day.
They weigh in tomorrow afternoon
at the Garden. Both appeared to be in
wonderful physical condition yester-

pected to be considerably under that
figure. If Greb weighs 1865 it will sur

Another Fault
You will often find in iron plav rs-
pecially in distances between 80 and 1870
yards, that you will be inclined to
swing back too far and then try to ease
up on the way down.
This il an extremely common fault
in golf. This is why so many golfers
quit on the down stroke.
They suddenly realize that if thew
hit through as they intended they will
go much too far. SO they suddenly
check the club on the down swing and
usually wreck the stroke completely.
1T is much better to hit on through
and go too far than to make a habit
of easing up.
If you will keep on hitting firmly
through without checking the stroke
you will soon shorten your back swing
to the right distance.
Iron play must be compact. The
hands must be kept low as long as
they will stay there, until the impor-
tant part of the follow Though is fin
ished. The left Hand and wrist can
help in this way BY q straight left
wrist and arm, as IL one intended to
push the club shaft downward. If the
right hand and wrist Try to lift the ball
the left hand and wrist can do their
share in preventing this error.
The left can and should act as
check upon the right when the latter
attempts to do the wrong thing. Good
team play between the hands and wrists
goes long way in developing iron play.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

There are anywhere from one to ffs
teen hundred important devices and
details the average golfer would like
to remember when he steps upon the
first tee this spring for his annual
invasion of fairway, bunker and green.
The result is that in the wild swirl
of important things not to be over
looked he remembers nothing at all
in his frantic swipe at the ball.
What is the most important single
thing to remember? No one can say,
since each one has different faults and
different styles.
factor connected with pivoting that
can stand for a world of intimate con-
sideraticn.
Starting Hands, Arms and Body
Golfers scattered or massed around
the 100000 square miles of this we'll
trapped Republic have had the word
pivot thrown at them from so many
directions that many have become bad
ly and sadly confused. In their eff
forts to pivot they twist, comfort,
squirm and gyrate to such an extent
that one marvels at the astonishing
positions the human body can hold
The proper way to pivot is to let
the hands and arms lead and then the
body takes its natural turn, with the
left knee coming in toward the ball
and the left shoulder reaching a po-
stion just below the chin. The big
mistake most or many golfers make is
to start pivoting, or turning the body,
before the swing itself has got un-
der headway In their eagerness to
follow proper advice they overdo the
Wo ~.
left knee and shoulder, start moving
before the hands had barely quivered,
with the pivoting completed long be-
fore the top of the back swing had
been reached.
Trouble Ahead
You can easily see what will happen
in q case of this sort While the club
head is still travelling backward to the
top of the swing the turn of the body
has been completed, and the shoulders
and body are fixed.
Having started too soon on the back
swing and being all ready to move
again. they naturally start too soon on
the down swing.
They have already been waiting for
the hands to reach top position, and
when the hands once reach there off
start shoulder and BODY again ahead
of the hands.
Wheh this happens the trouble is
both painful and acute, as eight or
twelve different things can happen that
are in ne sense pleasant or profitable.
One of the chief results being bad
slice, with the body ahead of the hands
and the hands ahead of the club head.
The hands, in vain effort to catch up
with. the body, shoot in top speed,
leaving the abandoned club head to
struggle in as best it may upon it's
journey across the face of the ball.
Meeting the Situation

one takes time to- think about it and 40

Ihere is every promise Cnat the tour

liant as regards playing quality as the
one that marked last years event,

ment of the fixture.
Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, ma
tional champion on turf and indoor
courts, will defend her singles title,
and among the others who will strive
for the high honors are Mrs. Marion
Zinderstein Jessup, Miss Leslie Ban

Marion Fenno, all of Boston, and some
of the best of the New York group, in
cluding, probably, Miss Martha Bayard
and Miss Ceres Baker. Mrs. Jessup
will pair with Irving Wright in the
mixed doubles and with Mrs. Godfrey
in the womens doubles. The chances
are, too, that William 7. Tilden, 3D.

Thus it may be seen that probably
no women's tournament of the year,
