ton of district. state and sectional
golf bodies and administration Of
their objectives by the United States
Golf Association is Il plan being sub
mitted to associations throughout the
country. The plan would reduce cost
of the game for members of private
clubs as we'll as eliminate many of
the competitive complications.
The plan is an enlargement of the
activity to organize II green sections
as centers to cover the Nations clubs,
all working under the supervision of
the L. S. G.. A. Its beginning is seen
in the method chosen for qualifying
players for the national open. these
centers being located in the II cities
which will become central offices.
The L. S. G. A. would then run all
tournaments, saving clubs the cost
of belonging to more than one organi-
cation. The plan would not vitality
change any organization.

BASE BALL SECRETS

Expert batters really do learn
TO place their hits either to the
right or left or towards second.
For example, take a batter who
wishes to place a hit toward third.
He should swing just a fraction
late so that he connects with the
ball just as it passes the plate.
That is preferred TO the awkward
attempts of some players who try
to get a full swing when making
such a hit. To accomplish this
they turn their bodies in the direc-
ton they wish to hit the ball. That
is what the player on the right
In the illustration is doing. To
accomplish this. one has to get out
of position, and cannot step into
the ball as he swings his bat.
Merely swing late to hit toward
third.
