The weather was all tiki could
be asked for, while the track was
greatly improved over the two pre-
Nlous days, good time being record
ed in the various events.
The management had prepared an
attractive card of six races, built up
around the Overseas Handicap. an
event for 3-year-olds and up. at 6
furlongs. The handicap contained
but six candidates, but they were
all classy and had their hackers
when the hour for betting arrived.
The Goldblatt entry, Guv'nor and
Ararat. was favorite to win the
event. with The Boy having second
call. and Last One. Belle of Eliza
BEETHOVEN and Mayor House next in
order as named. Last One got OF in
second position and won by a neck
from Guv'nor. which made a des-
perate effort, but just failed to get
up with his stable mate Arafat

left foot is held well back of the

The Pull and the Slice.
In place of going out and trying
to cure certain faults, such as slic-

thought IT much better TO learn
how they are made-and to make a
practice at times OF slicing and
pulling on purpose as there are
many occasions when such shots
come in as handy helps.
When the hands get in avesd OF

tainty that a bad slice will result.
This is one Of the hardest faults
in golf to cure and IT Is q fault
that kills of q lot of power.
A slight halt at the top of the
swing. giving the clubhead chance
to get started in time. will often
correct this fault.

circle that breaks well inside OF

Many instructors also advocate
holding the right hand more under
the club. This will frequently help
TO cure slicing, but l hardly ad-

fast back swing is also more like
ly to bring about a shce than II is
pull, for then the body generally
gets in ahead OF the swing, and
this always helps to round out a
first-class slice.
Any one who can control slice

The Pull and Its Cure.


There are two things to be taken
up in connection with the pull or
hook in golf.
One, is how to pull the ball when
you want to.
The other is how to correct a pull
when you want TO.
The pull may get you into as
much trouble as the slice. but it
isn't as big a fault. 1t means a
much better hit ball and with much
more distance. with a greater run
than even a straight ball can bring
you.
One of the best ways to learn
how to correct a pull or a slice is
to learn how to play pull or a
tlice. and. knowing this, applying
the remedy is simple enough.
II you are going out to play for
a pull, ! would suggest the follow
ing order:
l. Take the closed stance with the
left foot advanced slightly ahead OF
the right.
>. Play the ball nearer the right
foot. instead of playing it on a lire
nearer the heel of the left.
,. Keep the swing fairly low and
fiat. a trihe more circular than
usual.
4. Be sure to let the right hand
do its part.
Curing the Pull.
In curing a pull there are several
things to be considered. 1t may be
that the left hand is over too far.
So try moving the left just q
trifle more under the club shaft, not
too much. but enough to alter the
grip a little.
You might then try lifting the
club just a little on the back swing
Don't let the body turn too much
and don't let the swing be too fiat.
Stand closer to the ball. using d
more upright swing.
Keep the wrists sitter when
striking and don't let the RICH,
hand turn over so much. Also grip
very lightly with the right hand.
Let the left arm do most of the
work in going through.
Don't check the clubhead, but
swing well after the ball. letting
the hands finish high.
A round fiat swing with toe
much turn Of the clubhead causes
a very bad pull.
A stiff. upright swing with little
roll of the clubhead when striking
the ball and very little turn of the
body causes a bad slice.
And what causes slice viii
naturally always correct what de.
velops a pull.
1t is also better to use a more
open stance in attempting to cor.
rect a pull. Keep the left foot vel

PLENTY OF HORSES
FOR BOWIE OPENING
Classy List of Thoroughbreds
Expected to Compete in Meet
Opening Next Saturday.

There will be plenty of horses
on hand for the opening Of the
racing season in the East at the
Bowie track next Saturday. The
meeting will run for twelve days
and in addition to plenty of racing
material in the older division Of
thoroughbreds, there will also be
p large number of 2-year-olds to
fill the Juvenile events.
Racing Secretary Joseph Nc
Lehman has been at Bowie for a
couple of weeks arranging his pro-
gram for the twelve days of rae
ing and he Is responsible for the
announcement that this spring the
Prince Georges course will have on
hand more and better thorough
breds than have ever before raced
over the course.
While IL is likely that horses that
have been campaigned during the
winter months will be prominent on
tie Bowie program. those that have
wintered nearby will doubtless be
heard from before the meeting is
under way for many days. During
the past, few trainers have been
able to accomplish a great deal
in the preparation of their charges
the horses that wintered at the
Bowie course are now rounding to
racing shape rapidly.
Quite a number of 2-year-olds at
the course have already received
much OF their racing education and
are being schooled at :he barrier
each day.
Nearly 100 thoroughbreds spent
the winter months at the old Ben
ming track and these will be seen
under colors during the Bowie
meeting. Among the well-known
trainers at Benning is the veteran
W. p. Burch. who is handling an
extensive string Of horses for AG-
miral Cary T. GraysOn. Burch has
about twenty racers in his care.
several of which belong to Samuel
Ross. JOHNNY Schorr Is another
DyeI-known conditioner Of thor
oughbreds who spent the season at
the Benning course.
