be located at Forty-fourth and Haw-
thorne streets, will be held Tuesday
evening at s o'clock at the offices of
Dean, Onatavia & Co., in the Wood

the pow-wow.
While plans have moved along
smooth yand the club seems assured,
the proposition needs the backing of
a few more of the devotees of the
game to make it absolutely certain.
More than 125 already have signified
their intention of afiiliating with the
club, and only about 25 more are
necessary to insure it's success.
1t is planned to have Is clay courts
and two of cement, a swimming pool
and clubhouse ample to provide all
modern facilities.

Almost Immediately after Miss
Wills won the American leadership
two years ago, vain efforts were made
to inveiglc her into comments on
Mile. Lenglen's playing The latter
was credited with keeping silent, but
turning up her nose disdainfully when
she first heard that the Berkeley gin
had annexed the American singles
honors.
Then Miss Wills went to Wimblc-

ally, but not on courts. Mile. LengIeu,
il seems, was i'll and had to with

When Miss Wills returned from
abroad somebody asked her If Miss
Lenglen had run OUT on her in the
European matches. The Berkeley girl
not only denied that such was the
case, but declared she had seen
Suzanne while the latter was i'll
and that she was very i'll indeed.
Eventually, the American girls de-

Creek, which runs through the prop

Whitlatch says, may slow up play.
For the same reason the bunkerS
will not be the fearsomely deep af
fairs seen on some championship
courses The whole idea of the trap
ping of the course will be to penalize
a shot off the line, but not to slow up
play by making recovery shots too
difficult for the average player The
course will not have any three-shot
holes on il, it's constructor believing
that the three shot hole is a great
factor in delaying progress, through
lost balls, one match going through
another, and for other reasons. The
course will be made up of par three

the notion that the important thing
is get the club up quickly.
In figure 3 we have a sketch of
what happens when the clubhead is
whipped to the top with too fast an
action. First, it has gone away be-
yond where it should have gone. This,
you will note, has drawn the players
arms out of position Also, to keep
up with the clubhead in its lightning
like flight upward, the player has
dropped his left shoulder-the invari-
able result of a quick backswing
Take it slowly in the backswing,
especially at its start. Keep the club
resting on the finger muscles and
educate your fingers always TO feel
this slight weight The thing to
strive for is to get this club through
the danger zone at the top of the
backswing. When You can do that
you have educated fingers a neces-
sity for good golf.

By the Associated Press

Leo Diegel has revealed the secret of
driving goo yards while balanced on his

The noted professional explains that
some time ago he changed his style,
which required an even distribution of
weight on the feet during his swings, and
has increased the average of his drives
80 yards, and he calls attention to the
fact that the veteran Joe Kirkwood has
added rs yards by the same method.
Leading golfers today hit the ball up

declaring that her greatest ambition
is TO meet Suzanne in a championship
match when the latter is right

The development of this entente
