The difficult thing to master in the
run-up is Its simplicity. Most golfers
do one or both of two things-they
try TO watch the ball and the cup at
the same time: or, II they center their
gaze on the ball, they turn the body
to the right in the back stroke in
stead of keeping the club face to a
straight line.
In Fig, l is shown the correct
stance for this shot We are now
TO run UP a ball that is, say. Is yards
off the edge of the green. The wide
open stance is used, which brings the
heels fairly close together. Note that
the ball rests at Point 10-E. The
clubhead in the back swing Is to be
taken back from this point on a
direct straight line. as If 1t were 10 be
showed straight back to the figure 8
alongside the chart. The weight
shifts over to the right leg, but the
body does not pivot or turn to the
right at all. Keep the arms close to
the sides. To let the elbows rest

lightly on the hips throughout this
stroke is good practice.
In Fig. 2 the correct position at the
top of the back swing is shown. Note
that the wrists have not broken the
clubhead back. Tho wrists maintain
their fixed or address position
throughout The entire action is
more with the hips than anything
else. The dotted line in Fig. indi-
Gates the incorrect path of the club
head when the body is permitted to
turn or pivot in the back swing.
Observe In Fig. how the clubhead
is kept low to the ground on the
follow through. Note also that the
club face still Is at right angles to
the line of flight at the finish of this
stroke. Always make IL point to
keep the club face closed throughout
this stroke. By closed / mean keep
the club face at right angles to the
line of flight at all times. Just as you
see the club face in Fig. /. Max e
this stroke not too quickly, but,
nevertheless, firmly and crisply.

know good players, however, who
tell me that they let the clubheaG get
down to within foot or so of the
ball when they stifen arms, wrists,

know exactly what you are doing

was far below the form he showed in
1928 and slipped from tenth to eight
zenith place.
Three Others Remain.
In addition to Tilden, Richards and
Johnston. those to retain positions
among the first 10 are Howard Kinsey,
elevated to No. 4 from No. 8 Brian l. c..
Norton, who slipped one notch to be
rated ninth, and Harvey Snodgrass,
who went IN two cogs to seventh place.
Wallace Johnson, the Philadelphia,
the veteran of the entire ranking list,
made a tremendous leap to gain fifth
place. This is seven rungs higher than
he occupied on the ladder a year ago
He is the only strictly chop-stroke artist
to hold on in these days of whirlwind
strokes.
Watson Washburn, who is not new to
the select company, registered decided
comeback to gain No. position, nine
places better than the veteran achieved
in 1923.
Rather sensational climbs were made
by John Hennessey a Middle West
erner, and DR.. George King of New
York to be rated eighth and tenth. re-
spectively King was sixteenth in 1928,
while Hennessey was not among the
leading 20.
With Tilden, Richards, Johnson,
Washburn and King, the East splits
the honors with the combined Middle
West and West, as represented by
Johnston H Kinsey SnodgraSS, three
Californians, and Norton of st. Louis
and Hennessy of Indianapolis. New
York scores over Philadelphia by

last year, regainlng the top place.
Tilden and Norton, who held the
honor in 1923, did not join forces last
season, Big Bill playing most of the
time with young Sandy Wiener, he
and his youthful partner earning
eighth position. Johnston and Grif-
fin and Hunter and Richards remain
ed at Nos. 2 and 8, the positions they
held a year ago.
Molla Is Now Third.
No startling changes took place In
the women'S ranking, although Molla
Mallory reIinquished second place to
Mary Browne of California Helen
Wills, of course, remained at the top,

just what could be done IN the mat
Mr.. Earle said, II am very much in
favor of the plan, but it would be
useless for Maryland to attempt to
do anything without the cooperation
Of Virginia and West Virginia. In
the first place, Maryland does. not
have absolute control OF fishing in
the Potomac, and the only way any
thing could be done would be in con-
nection with the States of Virginia
and West Virginia.
States May Act.
"While it would take an act of the
Legislature to check fishing in the
Potomac River, / believe some plan
could be worked out by the three
States in conjunction with the Off
Gals of the United States Bureau of
Fisheries, whereby the same objec-
tive could be obtained by an agree
ment among them backed up by the
Federal Government.
1.-The pran is a very laudable one
and should receive the support Of
every fisherman. While / have had
no opportunity TO go into the matter
At any length, firmly believe that
some plan for the protection of the
young bass could be worked out by
the conservation commissioners of the
three States in cooperation with the
Federal Commission, and will promise
to do everything in my power to FUR
Their the plan. l will attend such a
conference in Washington at any time
it is called and pledge the State to
any feasible plan that may be adopted
at such a conference
When Mr. Earle's statement was
read to Mr.. O'Malley, he informed the
writer that he expected to see Mr..
- n in, faK1F n
go over the matter thoroughly with
him and see just what was the best
thing to do. Mr.. OMalley said he
would gladly call conference of the
three State conservation commission
ers if anything could be accomplished
by doing SO.
Boys Prey on Bass.
This column is much interested in
all lettersSpertaining to bass fishing,
whether it be in the upper Potomac

River. Attention has been called to
an evil existing in the Anacostia
River, which should be corrected. The
complainant is a rod and reel angler.
but admits that he commentaries his
efforts, that it is a source of income
for him, as well as others. He says
that the fish are carp, and that dough
is used for bait, and that no other
fish except the catfish, will take this
particular kind of bait.
He says, that occasionally a bass
will strike when he is hauling in his
line, but that the abuse to the bass
in. the Anacostia River is, that thou
sands of bass, nearly all below the
legal limit in weight and size, may
be seen breaking water for food in

By .he Associated Press.

BY she Associated Iress.
\ charge that conditions in the oil
industry have been misrepresented to
the Government by committee of the
American Petroleum Institute was
filed with President Coolidge's Oil Con-
servation Board today by Earl Oliver
of Oklahoma, himself a prominent oil
man and member of the institute.
Under ''strictest iniunctions of Sc
crecy," Mr. oliver declared, the insti-
tute's committee, chosen to cooperate
with the oil board. prepared and sub
mitted to Washington a report which
was not based upon an impartial study
of the situation but was designed to
head off certain regulatory steps the
Government might have in mind.
The committee proceeded on the
theory that the Federal oil board in
guiry was a potential danger said
the Oklahoma oil man in his protest
to the board; that since its creation
was predicated upon an uncertainty
of supply and the existence of indus
trial waste, if it could be shown these
two promises were false, then the
whole movement would end. Accord
ingly, the position was taken that

quantities of oil, and that waste does
not exist. Investigators We're then in
structed to acquire data in support of
these positions"
The report which resulted, Mr..
Oliver declared. was not placed before
either the members of the institute
nor its board of directors for approval,
and "a wide inquiry among we'll
known and recognizedly well informed
students of the industry diScloses an
almost unanimous opinion that the
report does mot present a true
picture"
y copy of the protest, which will
receive serious consideration by the
oil conservation board, has been sent
by Mr.. Oliver to J. Edgar Pew of
Dallas, Tex, vice president of the
Sun Oil Co. and president of the
Petroleum Institute. Neither Secre-
tary Work of the Interior Department,
who is head of the oil board. nor his
colleagues on the board. Secretaries
