The tip-top golfer always hits down
on the ball, and this knack is what
causes him instinctively to hit the
ground with his clubhead when he
practices swings. He knows the ball
would be down there close to the
ground, and he has learned that to hit
the ball well it is advisable to hit
close down on it and take it cleanly.
What / mean by hitting down on
the ball is shown in figure l. The
club is here shown about half way
down in the forward swing. The
dotted line extending from the club
head to the ball and down through
it indicates what the player has in
mind to do. He is going to hit down
to send the clubhead directly on down
traced by the dotted line.
However, the clubhead will not go
into the ground since the limit of
reach with the arms causes 1t TO take
the ball and swing straight through
Hitting down this. way, however,
yields the cleanest hit and ethe
straightest ball. 1t is mistake to
have in mind trying to make the
cluhead go down to the back of the
ball, then straight through it.
When you consciously try to sweep
the clubhead straight through the
ball, parallel with the ground instead
of hitting down, you often halfto

The amateur event will be played
on the eXacting Oakmont Country
Club course Just outside OF Pittsburgh.
1t will be limited 10 one week, start
ing. August 81.
The qualifying rounds will consist
of 36 holes, as in previous years, with
the first round played on Monday and
the second on Tuesday, September l..
Only is to Qualify.
Only Is players will qualify for
match play in the championship
proper, instead of 80 as heretofore
The match play rounds over the re-
naming four days of the week will
be at 36 holes.
Undoubtedly this will mean faster
golf in the qualifying rounds. 1t will
also mean that certain match play
stars will have TO polish up their
game somewhat in medal play. To
be more specific, Jess Sweetser, Max
Marston and Jesse Guilford, all
former national champions, have not
shown to the best of advantage in
medal play.
The amateurs whose medal round
IN competition has measured up to
their match play games are Bobby
Jones, Francis Ouimet, Chick Evans,
George Won Elm and Clark Cochran.
II is practically a certainty this
group will qualify. OF course, Sweet
SER, Marston. Guilford and others
ought to get in, and probably will.
But there are a number of youngsters
who are sure TO crowd some of the
stars.
1t is the writer's opinion that this
tournament will be just about the best
in a golf sense that has ever been
played.

Willie is a wizard at placing his
ball dead to the pin on the short

hole only an abbreviated putt TO get
his birdie 2.
Out at French Lick, Ind, where

went wrong on a short hole one day.
And that was why he came to make

Ouimet by their showing in the open

to be reckoned with at Oakmont.
Ouimet has come to this event year

1914 as one Of the favorites, only to
be beaten toward the latter part of the
meet.
Sweetser, too, has begun to show
the same kind of golf he played when
he won the title at Brookline three
years ago. If he makes the grade
in the qualifying rounds he will bear
watching.

a neat little sum Of money and
they bought dining and living
room furniture from the best
store In the city, but omitted the
bedroom set, as they9aid not have
enough left to buy the large
pieces they thought they must
have. The wife, however, Is a.
dyed-in-the-wool bargain hunter,
and prevailed upon her husband
to accompany her to small,
store on q. side street which hap
pened to be displaying an at.
tractive walnut bedroom set in
the window at q price which just
about equaled the money they
had. After much persuasion on
the part OF the wife and the
dealer, the set went to their
apartment. and In less than q
years time afterward, It is be-
coming shoddy, the poorly ap-
piled veneer is chipping and
cracking, the dining and living

trouble Of any kind. .s
How could one help but

1t is far better. to buy one good
piece Of furniture a year FOR your
home, than to try. to furnish it
entirely on pieces OF questionable
quality, both in construction ard

Methods Of Cleaning

> Frequent cleaning saves time
and strength in the long run and
is also better for the house and
its furnishings, because the fab.
RIGS and finishes receive less rub
bling and wear. If dust is al
lowed to remain. it may be ground
in or covered with a grease. film:
in either case it will be harder
to remove. Moreover, the fine
particles Of dirt rub against the
fabrics and finishes and tend to-
wear them out. Different kinds
Of surfaces and furnishings must
be treated in different ways to
keep them clean and prolong
their Usefulness.
The .creyices, in wicker furni.
ture' are difficult to clean, but
fortunately dirt does not cling
to it as to upholstery. Brushing
followed by busting seems 10 be
the best treatment,
