MISS C0LLETT RATED
HIGH BY THE BRITISH
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

In spite of, her defeat by joyce
! Wethered, Glenna Collett, the Ameri-
! can girl, holds the high respect of the
| English golffng public. Abundant evi-
| dence has come from the other side to
show that she is rated by English
critics as belonging to that small and
select group of the worlds greatest
woman golfers
This opinion is derived not so much
from her play against the British
| hampion-although it was appraised
| as IN every way meritorious, as be-
cause of her performance against
| Cyril Tolley, whom she defeated by
one hole in the team match between
| men and women at Stoke Poges.
1t is true that Tolley allowed his
fair American rival a stroke every
other hole. Granted that this is a
terrific handicap to impose upon any
| golfer, yet the fact remains that a
| first-class amateur can surmount it in
competition against a woman star.
There have been seven man versus
| woman matches at Stoke Poges and
in only one of them have the women
prevailed. The victory of the feminine
golfers >as matter of fact, occurred
last season.
In this years match the men won
and the fact that Miss Collett de-
feated Tolley when he was at the top
or MS form mas caused EnSnSh BOlI-
ers to coincide with the American
opinion that the Providence girl is the
pick of American woman golfers and
ra hiking with Miss, Wethered and Miss
Leitch as the worlds greatest. not
withstanding she does not happen to
hold the championship of the United
States.
Those who saw Miss Collett play
for the first time at Troon were very
much impressed by the lack of cir
cumstance about her game.
Her manner of addressing the ball
with hardly any evidence of that pre-
| limiary 'waggle," which marks most
golfers style, excited a great deal of
| favorable comment, while they are
now debating whether or not her long
swing. her follow through, is not the
secret of the success of her country
men in the art of. driving a small
globule over three or four miles of
country.

At the start of the round Havers
had PIG strokes. Kirkwood and c. A.
Whitcombe, an Englishman, 220;
Tagen 221 and myself 222.
Going out, l collected a So, which
placed me alongside Havers, but on
the home stretch l slipped a bit,
took 40 to get in, and ended up
with 297. Kirkwood, with rs,
was just back of me. with 29S. Whit
combe went bad and was out of it.
Havers finished his round before
Hagen did his. Coming up to the
seventeenth hole Arthur needed two
as for the 295 which seemed likely to
win the championship. Par for the
seventeenth was 3, and for the eight
eenth 4, so that a 294, or even better,
was within the young Englishman's
scope. But, under the conditions ex-
listing that day, two As would be
very satisfactory.
The seventeenth hole at Troon
measures 210 yards. q shot to the
green requiring spoon. But few
of us played for the green during the
final round. We were content to
make rough grass to its right and
then to chip over trap, rather
than subject ourselves to all the
dangerous chances which a more d.
rect try entailed.
To begin with, the green, a table
affair built up about 10 feet high,
was trapped on all sides. Secondly,
is was as slippery as glass. Thirdly,
a regular gale was blowing. Finally.
the cup was set on the left side of
the green not more than 10 feet from
a cavernouS trap.
The position of the cup becomes all
the more significant when the di-
rection Of the gale is understood. The
wind was not exactly full in the face
of the man playing from the seven
teenth tee, but almost so. 1t came
from a little to the left and blew a
little to the right.
Now, nobody had been stopping a
ball on the green with either a slice
or hook. Those who tried it inev-
itably found a trap and added un-
welcome strokes to their score. That
was why most of US played to the
right and chipped to the flag. AS it
was on the left side of the green,
there was plenty of room for the
chip and one still had a chance for
a par 3.
But Havers showed the quality of
real champion by electing not to
play safe. And the result was one
of those shots you see only once OF
twice in a lifetime.
He aimed his ball straight for the
deep bunker on the left side of the
green. putting slight fade on it
with his spoon.
l never expect TO see anything
more beautiful again His ball took
the right direction to a ct" 1t did
not, apparently, start to rise until il
neared a point off the front edge
of the green. 1t headed right over
the bunker, as intended: seemed to
hover there a naopent in, the vigor-
Gus wind, and then faded prettily off
to the right coming down and stop
ping less than 8 feet from the cup.
Havers had a chance for birdie
2. However. he missed his putt and
had to be content with par g. A
5 on the last hole gave him 2s5,
allowing him to finish a stroke ahead
of Hagen. who came in with rs.
Havers' spoon shot was the final es-
|sence of golfing science. 1t was won
derful. But not more so than his
courage. If he had found trap he
would have lost two strokes, and
that would have cost the champion
ship.

Observe such player carefully and
invariably you will see that some
thing happens TO him that is bad at
the top of his back swing. What this
is is pictured in Figure /
Because of the lack of contact with
the ground and the left foot the
player leans forward, from the top
of his back swing. He doesn't lean
forward toward the bali. but inclines
forward with the upper part of his
body, into the direction line. This
counteracts his shifting of weight at
the beginning of the back swing.
since with this leaning forward the
weight gets over on top of the ball
if not actually in front of il. The
ball hit from this position will be
skied if ii is hit Well at all.
In Figure is seen the correct posi-
tion of the left knee at the top of
the back twing. Note here how the
left foot has definite contact with the

firmly established in the Eastern part
of the United States, is not so harm
full as it is reputed to be in the Old
World, many people look upon the
bird as an undesirable alien.
The permanent establishment of the
starting in North America dates from
1S90-91, when about 120 birds were
released in Central Park, New York
City. From this center the species
has spread East to the Penobscot

The snake, he says, broke the line
in his struggle and started across the
river with the line, two flies and
leaders. Another of the flies in turn
was seized by a 4-pound bass, which
the snake succeeded in bringing to
land after an exciting struggle. When
Montgomery crossed the river the
snake with one end of the line in his
mouth and his tail wrapped securely
around a tree stump was holding the
fish well. and succeeded in hauling it
to the bank. Montgomery clubbed the
snake to death and secured his fish,

When the bodily poise is main
tained, as in Figure 2, the sweep of
the clubhead is more Of an ellipse,
as shown in Figure 3. When the
shoulder droops at the top and the
body leans forward the clubhead's
path is more in a circle, with the
clubhead hitting the ball and then
passing upward. instead of through
the ball and out after it. This cir
cular hitting, as shown in Figure 3,
causes the skied ball.
