MRS. STORRS TAKES HONORS

The. cut glass fly swatter of the
1922 season is hereby presented to
Mrs. w. D. storrs OF the Topeka
Country club.
Mrs. storrs lost a ball on the
putting clock at the ladies' day
tournament Tuesday.
Balls have been lost in the
bitches, in the rough. among the
dandelions, in the fairways, in the
gopher holes, in the trees. out Of
bounds-balls have been lost in a
thousand and one places by play
ers on the Country club course but
never in the history of the club has
a ball been lost on the smooth,
closely cut putting clock adjoining
the tennis courts.
It was during the putting con-
test. Mrs. Storrs made her putt.
Suddenly it disappeared. Six wo~
men hunted for it. They looked
in the holes. under the bags and
even up in the crimson ramblers
around the clock.
But it was lost.
If Mrs. Storrs is not satisfied
with the cut glass fly swatter she
will be given the choice between a
pongee Iawnmower and mayon-
naise ice box

now ready to swing with the right
hand in main control.
Now the big thing to work on is not
to be in any hurry to strike. Swing
back evenly and steadily and there
will be no harm even if you pause for
a brief moment at the top of your
swing.
The baseball player has to hit in a
hurry frequently as the ball won't
But the golf ball will wait there all
day I don't advocate standing rigidly
over the ball, but the point I mean to
make is that you never have to hurry
your swing that you can take your
time at striking
At the top of the swing you break
the left wrist slightly. In the full
pitch the left hand does a bit more
work than in the shorter approach
When the ball is lying clean L never
advocate taking any turf. The club
head should merely clip the grass and
not dig into the sod. But of course if
the ball is lying close one must dig
for it. There is no other way. But
even then let the club head do the
digging.
The Anchor.
Once you are ready to play the
pitch, don't forget that the head al
ways is the anchor to the swing.
There is nothing in golf that is more
important than this. If the head is
swayed or moved the anchor is gone
and the swing is wrecked
One good way to keep from looking
up on this shot is to keep the head
down until the right arm is straight
out. Then it doesn't matter. Have
the sense of control in the right hand
pounding thru
You may have noticed recently,
where Bobby Jones burned his left
hand and turned in a forty-two for
nine holes with his right alone. 1t
is my guess thai he played his pitch
shots almost as well as ever with only
his right hand working, as this is the
main work hand in the pitch anyway.
You might keep these injunctions in
order:
1. Firm body with both feet grip
ping ground.
2 Weight a trifle more on the heels.
g. Elbows in close and under con-
troll.
4 Ball fairly close in where you
never have TO reach for it.
5. Club head slightly back.
S. Even, steady back swing with
slight pause at top.
I. Right hand in control. Ieft merely
guiding
s. a decisive hit thru without any
quitting.
9. Body still and only slightly turn

One of the main features to be
watched in both the short and long
pitch is to keep the elbows close in
by the body, always under control.
Once the elbows begin flying wide
there is sure trouble ahead and this
part Of the stroke must be closely
watched.
7 believe in playing the short pitch
with slight cut. In playing this
shot the right hand is in command.
You both swing and hit with the
right. The left hand merely keeps a
firm grip on the club as a guiding
factor to see that the right hits on
thru in the direction wanted. For
this cut shot the left elbow must be
slightly lifted away from the body.
Don't turn the club head over in
playing this stroke. but keep the face
back.
