Playing Wind
Adds lest
To Golf
BY Charles lChick) Evans Jr.

ScIoto 10 q very hilly course with
many sheltered trees. Owing to
the peculiar topography there are
some who play their rounds almost
free from the terrific winds which
play around at midday.
was not one Of the fortunate
ones, but. I learned that the player
who could not play cross.wind
shot had small chance at Scioto.
Just a little failure. to realize that
a ball tearing into the fairway
ahead might be hit by a quarter.
ing wind made q difference of two
shots a hole.
Wind makes golf more inter.
esting and testing. The inpor-
tant thing In playing ON
course where the wind always
seems to be quartering is to
have good balance of body and
security OF foot. II the wind
comes from the left side one
should play q hook into IL. and
IL 1t comes from the right side
1t is a good idea to incline to-
ward the slice. At SciOtO when
the wind came from the left
always teed my ball up at the
extreme right hand side Of the
teeing ground. and when it
came from the right always
tced my ball up at the extreme
left hand side.
One should learn the effect of
wind on certain spins OF golf balls.
Then learn to have confidence in
your ability to aim at a certain
spot in the air which apparently
disregards the fairway but which
ie reached the wind will actually
blow your ball back into the fair
way. This is what the profes-
sionals call hanging the ball up
in the wind.
In playing In cross winds ! be-
lieve the player should realize more
than ever the Importance Of letting
the clubhead do it's share OF the
work. Feel the clubhead solidly on
the ball before you put any strength
back Of the shot. When playing in
cross winds a player should learn
how to get certain heights Of
flight. Experience will then teach
him which height to employ for the
various speeds Of cross winds. He
should learn to get a steady flying
ball. avoiding an irregular flight.
beieV0 would always take q
little chip OF turf on my iron shots
when playing in a wind. 1t has
a tendency to steady the flight. and
1t 10 steady-sailing qualities that
you must have when playing quar-
tering winds.
] don't believe that I would
adjust my clubfaces much in
order to average out the wind,
but would always try to play
IL from It's natural lie. II tile
wind Is coming from the right,
however. II might be a good
idea to open the face little
bit, and If it is coming from the
left be sure that the face is not
open. would try to play Just
the same as OF calm day ex.
cept that ! would let the wind
do some Of the work in getting
the ball onto the fairway.
Visualize what you want to do,
hitting up, hitting down. hitting to
the left. hitting to the right with
the proper spin and you will soon
find that golf in a quartering wind,

This is very interesting since

spite the fact that the figures do not

In the winter OF 1920 the baseball
rules committee made a change in
the wording Of the rule that related
10 home runs.
Instead OF having the umpire Judge
the ball fair or foul according to
where it was when il disappeared
from his view, the rule stated that
wnen the ball passed out Of play

Babe to make so homers but be-

Latest figures show Ruth has hit
several more four baggers this sea-

similar period in 1921.
