KEEP ROLL our OF WRISTS.
By 9 Chick " Evans.
copyrIght. JOIN pllle .

After the first two and one
half or three feet Of stiffness
in the back stroke, the action
Of the wrists should come IN.
If you break your wrists prop
erly at the end Of the back
stroke, you are likely to swing
far enough back. It is inn
portant that the left arm al=
most straighter out at the
end Of the back stroke; it should
not be stiff, however. If you
do not get this effect, you will
get an uncertain wiggly move
ment back there.
This means uneven flight and
an imperfect right angle ct the
ball. The right arm comes in
little towards the body and the
upper parts Of both elbows hug
the body for 3 minute in order
to form 3 sort Of q take-off
and give you an opportunity to
gather yourself so that you can
throw all you force into the
shot after the flying clubhead.
The golfer must use all his
strength and weight. I do not
favor much moving or turning
Of the body. When the little
tug is felt at the left shoulder
socket the wrists bend the club
head straight backward, instead
Of rounding it toward the body.
The action Of the clubhead at
the half way mark Of the back
stroke should give q feeling Of
weight, and you should not
think Of digging your strength
into the shot before the club
head hits the ball. The break
Of the wrists at the top of She
stroke is very important; you
should get just enough Of it.
The Washington times., 1925-05-21

Never be in such a rush that
you cannot wait for this break,
which you must not confuse
with quick jerk.
One Of the most important
bits Of advice that / can give
you concerns the action Of the
left hand during the first quar-
ter Of the l1pstroke. / have
mentioned this in previous
articles. It should go strnigIs
back, still under the right for
about three feet. / call 1t that
glorious left hand position.
When I get it properly I neves
fail to get good direction and
rhythm. Naturally, then, both
hands 60 back bit ahead Of
the clubhead, taking it low ind
along the ground for three feet
and paraIleling the imaginary
back direction line. Even if
this creates little stiff condi-
tion you are right. Try this
left hand position over and over
and over again.

[ORE! !!
- AND AFTER
-Rv ROSS CoNKLIN-

Apparently. this game of golf has
come to stay for a while. As one
remote indication Of the accuracy
Of that reckless statement, con-
slider: A new nine-hole course
opens at East Potomac tomorrow;
the new nine-hole course at Rock
Creek probably will be thrown open
late this fall, and the Seven Oaks
course, a privately : owned but
publically patronized course, will
open some OF its holes this fall.
The total is in the neighborhood OF
sixty-three holes.
And all this in addition to the
many private golf courses in at.
tics, cellars, parlors. and back
yards. Have you a little golf
course in your home?" If not, the
Government owes you something.
Conceded to be the most diff
cult test Of golfing skill in Wash
ington, the fifteenth hole OF the
Washington Golf and Country Club
is doomed to death. At least some
OF the tricky features are to be
more entertaining for the average
golfer. The creek will be filled
over and some of the inclines cut
Many hurrahS will greet the change.
Roland Mackenzie, tho most
talked Of young golfer I'm the
city, will get more than q test
of his skill i'm the Baltimore
Country Club tourney. Some ex-
perts fear that he Is slightly
stale from his three triumphs al
ready, and he meets the best
amateur golfers I'm Maryland, in
addition to those Of Washington,
in Baltimore.
There have been several changes
in the management of the Indian
Spring club. Manager Bassett,
formerly connected with the Riaito
Theater, has gone to a new posi-
ton In Chicago, and Leo McNer-
haney. caddie master, has left. No
successors to the pair have been
chosen.
The monthly tournament of the
Women's Golf Association of the
District, to be held at the Congress
I-sional Club Tuesday, promises much.
With Mrs. Emery Smith, District
champion, out OF competitive golf,
there will be a merry fight for her
title, and the monthly tournaments
are giving indication of who the
new champion will be.
The Town and Country Club in
vitation tournament starting on
Tuesday, is not limited by handi-
Gaping the entries. Albert Stei-
mem, chairman of the golf commit
tee,, is anxious for all golfers to
enter the play. The course Is in

THAT is why he lasted as long
as he did and / believe If he hadn't
got lung trouble he would be bog
ing around here today and probably
going good" was the way Gardner
put it. Napoleon Lajoie was the
Joe Cans Of baseball because he
was one OF the most graceful and
the smoothest OF workers on the
field, and look how long he lasted!
He had them all cheated in every
way and everything that was batted
at him looked easy. he was that
simple of notion
Then another old timer broke
in with a statement. "Well have
to grant that all you say of Lajoie
is true, but believe there was one
other who 0Qualed him for ease Of
action" he said. THAT was Jimmy
Collins Of the old National League
Boston team. He wasn't as tall
as Lajoie, but he certainly could
move around bases like a bird
and nothing seemed too hot for him
by merely taking q step or two
and reaching with one hand.
I'm addition to that Collins
was great batter and had one
Of the keenest arms ever seen
on any mans ball team. He
took care of himself and lasted .
long time"
Frank Schultz of the old Cubs
for mine" flared up another fan
In the little group. Many gave
him the reputation of being loaf
er on the field and at the bat as
well, but it wasn't deserved. He
was as fast as almost any man in
the business, but he never seemed
to be going fast. He made some
Of the hardest catches look easy
and probably was applauded less
than any man on the team except
ing for his tremendous home-run
drives
Many other names were brought
ur as the boys began to bark back
TO the days when they had been
favorites. Few Of them were for
gotten. "Ians Wagner, perhaps,
was the most cumbersome man in
baseball Of any time, but he got
some of the greatest results and
lasted many years after others OF
lighter and faster type had passed
on" opined another old timer.
"It is my opinion that speed of
the Ty Cobb sort will never. be
equaIed in our time at least,
although there were q lot OF the
veterans of the game Of years
ago who were base StealerS Of the
highest type"
Then one Of them expressed the
belief and substantiated the fact
with a few figures that Eddie Col
lins OF the White Sox would never
get old and that he would be as
fast as he is today for many years
to come. THE greatest part Of the
Collins speed is the fact that he
has an uncanny manner Of lodging
injuries" he said. HE plays on
and on, taking plenty Of chances,
but he is never laid up for any
length of time. That makes Col
Inns a more valuable man TO his
team than one who is always in
the hospital"
well, who was the greatest
lightweight who ever lived?" one
asked, turning suddenly on Gardner.
There never was one who up
preached George Lavigne." was the
simple answer.

Walter Has Won 62 Games
and Lost 81 Facing De-

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

DETROIT, May 21.-Walter
johnson, for years terrible mem
ace to the Tigers in the days of
their greatness, is due to face his
ancient enemy today in the Sec
ond game Of what promises to be
q bitterly fought series.
In eighteen campaigns Barney
has triumphed over the Tigers
sixty-two times as against thirty
seven defeats, though for most Of
those seasons he had the backing
o. one of the weakest teams in the
major leagues. Today he is sup
ported by the fighting Griffs,
champions of the world, and
should quickly show the Tigers
where they get off.
Ty Cobb has no set system of
sending his pitchers to the mound.
He simply looks over his collection,
catches some lads eye and makes
him work. This method has got
al the. Detroit hurIers hanging
their heads. They are not anxious
TO climb the hill and hope Cobb
can't see their eyes.
According to the boys in the
lighthouse, as the press box here
81 known from its great height,
Stoner or Holloway or Collins or
WhitehilI may start today against
johnson. It is a fair bet, too,
that not one OF this quartet viii
be seen in the box when the bell
rings.
