ILLS TELL GOLFERS
STYLE IS NOT RIGHT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Blisters, callouses and lameneSs in a
golfer indicate faults with his style
Of play just as boils, dyspepsia and
hives show that something Is wrong
with the diet. according to Chick
Evans, formerly national open and
amateur champion.
If the golf club be properly held
, and rightly swung with the correct
stance the easy stroke that results
from this combination will not blister
the hands, form corns on the fingers
or induce sore muscles in the arms
or body.
In the same way the golfers feet
will retain whole and even cuticle If
the player wears shoes with heavy
leather soles and the footwear be well
fitted, neither too tight nor too loose.
Proper walking with an easy stride
will keep the legs from lameness.
| while a proper pivot of the hips will
chase soreness from the abdominal
muscles.
Whenever you suffer from any Of
| these Affections" said Evans, you
may be sure that something is wrong.
Study out what is amiss with your
| grip, your stance, your pivot and
your swing. I have wonderful results
( from this system of self diagnosis.
And the best part Of 1t is that your
physical comfort, brought about in
| this manner, is secondary to the
| great improvement in the shots you
make when you get rid of the bad
form"
