former pedestal in front OF the
Army War College, Washington
Barracks, from which it was re-

Over Country, Who Are Not Likely to Take
... Kindly to Action of the U. S. G. A.

| legion of admirers who are not likely
| to take the action of the golf asso-
citation in good part.
President Hobart of the Western
Golf Association states that the action
of the u. S. G.. A. will not bar Miss
Browne from tournaments held under
the auspices of that association, unless
the w. G.. A. takes action similar to
that of the national organization. The
intimation is that no such action will
be taken
So it may we'll be this Summer that
Miss Browne will be seen in competi-
ton for the Western womens golf
title and yet be ineligible to enter the
national events. On the other hand
word comes from the West coast that
California by reason of affiliation with
the L. s. G. A. will accept the ruling
against Miss Browne.
The girl herself accepts the decision
gracefully-as she would. She earned
q fairly large sum of money playing
tennis with c. G, Pyle's travelling
band of mercenaries and this golf
decision has to he considered merely
as part of what she sacrificed for this

TIE entire golf swing is in your

You start it with the hands;
4 YOU let if flow along, with your
hands in control; YOU speed up
with the club in the forward action
with your hands. and all the way
through you have a very distinct feel
ing of controlling everything in the
swing with your hands.
What keeps many players in the
ranks of poor golfers is that they
never get hold of this hand-control of
the action. In their back swing you
see them start away with twist of
the body to the right, or by showing
off with the left knee. That is start
ing the body ahead, whereas it should
follow the hands. You can never hit
a golf ball with your body.
The best way know of to cultivate
the right feeling of hand control is to
practice addressing the ball. Tighten
up your grip just enough so that you
feel you actually possess the club-in
your hands. Fig / The grip is not
vise-liI<e, yet you can do nothing with
a grip so loose that it is wobbly. Take
