A very important segment OF
the golf stroke is that of the
last third of the downstroke.
The cIubhead should pass or be
even with the hands at the be-
ginning of this third. ] ac-
complish this by waiting for
the clubhead. The clubhead
should dominate in here, and
should be sort of a running
weight into the ball.
There should not be any ap-
pearance of showing. The club
head should precede everything,
especially the shoulder. This
eliminates a rushing of the
hands to the vertical line first
"a terrible fault. If you see
or feel the hands leading, try
swapping the ball off more
quickly. Getting the hands a
little ahead at the time of con-
tact changes the loft of the club
head and affects the height and
flight of the ball.
Try using the wrists a little
more on this downward half Of
the swing. The thing to get is
the flick, flip or whip of the
clubhead through the ball with
eveness. In aiming the ball at
the hole you should think of
hitting or punching up into the
air so that it will sail toward
an imaginary object.
If YOU want quicker rise,
remember you must use more
wrists. Work always for the
best even flight. The curve or
part of a circle over which the
hands pass should not be too
small or too sharp or the ball
will fly crookedly. No golfer
can play we'll if his hands are
the very center of a circle de-
scribed by the outside clubhead.
The smooth curve the hands
should take should be a little
lower than one might think. l
The Washington times., 1925-05-25

rounded but you should not per-
sist too much towards the flat
swing. If you do, you will get
a circular sweep and an un-
naturally low flight Of the ball.
In general hitting avoid getting
push, rush force or hurry into
the shots. You should not fight
the clubhead through the ball
for rhythm and clean contact
will take the place of forced
strength.
1t would be better for you to
think of swapping, cracking,
Singing or slapping the ball.
What you want is a rhythmic,
crisper, sharper hit which keeps
the ball on the line. In other
words you should burst the club
head into the ball. Make it a
clean, poking hit with the club
head more into the piece of
imaginary direction line at the
ball. If you do not get the
solid feeling at contact, you are
trying to do all the work YOUR
self. Change that by trying to
hit more easily.

races out into the gardens behind
him. and is sure catch Of short
flies frequently going for Texas
League hits. He knows how to
tag runners at second base, and
works well on double plays with
Blackie O'Rourke.
1t is difficult right now to say
how well the half-pint shortstop
will hit. His latest figures Of .230
for twenty-one games are not en-
Icouraging, but he started with a
team down in the ruck and need
ing support. With a winner he
might look better. He hit for .2s4
at Fort Worth a year ago.
Ty Cobb himself Is hitting ND
to his ancient fern, but In the
field is slowing up rapidly. He
permits both men beside him TO
take balls q centerfielder should
take. This was noticeable more
than once during the series with
the Griffmen. Cobb is Of chief
value for his hard hitting and his
heady baserunning. His fielding
is just $3.50.

Can they hold the pace! That -
the moot query of the day The
answer is yes and no.
They can hold the pace Of
which they really are capable.
and it may be enough to win the
pennant. They cannot hope 70
play as they did through the first
five weeks Of the season, however.
Two things will prevent it. The
first is that Connie Mack was more
than fortunate in having -four or
five men hitting far above their
ordinary speed. These men must
and will come back to normal, and
when they do the club will begin to
lose ball games with more seemly
regularity.
The second factor is just as in
evitable. The Athletics played 800
baseball well into the third week
in May, and no major league out
fit can sustain such a pace. The
reaction, throwing an extra burden
on the pitching staff, probably will

COchrane, of course, may be
one of the great hitters of base
ball. and the same goes for
Poole, as little is known OF their
ability to sustain the pace they
have set. IL is their first year
on the big time.
More, however, is known Of Hale,

The writer is not suggesting that
the same fate will overtake the
Athletics. Indeed, it is more than
possible that the Athletics will
have enough left when the pinch
comes to stick at the head of the
field to the end.
But IL they do it will be q case
of one of the teams departments
reciprocating the fayors OF the
other. The hitters are winning
games for the pitchers now; it r1ay
be put up to the pitchers to return
the favor later in the year.
