BY SOL METZGER.

In the Canadian women's open
championship four years ago, Cecil
Leitch was trapped some 80 yards
from one green in heavy sand.
Taking a niblick she laid the ball
on the green and succeeded in
halving an important hole. Later
l asked her about the shot and she
gaVo credit to James Braid for
teaching it to her.
Miss Leitch uses a palm grip for
this sand shot and swings her
niblicl about 40 degrees out from
her. On the doWnsWing she comes
across the ball from the outside,
the way most of us get our slices,
and cuts it out of the sand by strik-
ing the ball close to the shank of
her club. She uses firm wrists and
takes bit Of sand after contact.
In playing such a shot the club
head, in this position. almost forms
a cup. AS a result the ball is played
true to line and without slice.
There is little run to it. too, if the
face is well opened. BY an open
face we mean face that is laid
well back. In playing the shot be
careful to turn the face of the club
out from you, otherwise there is
danger OF smothering the ball in
the sand.

n VIEW YORK, August 20.--In
N shaping the Davis cup defense
NJ this year against the thrust of
l. France it appears the Amer
lean master minds" are de-
pending as much on the psychology of
Bill Johnston's lethaI fOrehand drive
as they are on Bill Tilden'S comeback,
Johnston, to all intents and pur-
poses, has been picked to carry half
the singles burden this year on past
performances, plus the fact that his
game has consistently been a potent
brand of poison to the French players.
For the first time since he became u
national figure. he isn't figuring in
any of the preliminaries to the sea-
sons big title events. The East has
been kept in almost total ignorance of
whether he is the Little Bill' of old
or whether his game has slipped.
The mysterious angle to this unusual
procedure has aroused gossip that
Johnston is not rounding into form
and that he can't be counted on to
support big Bill" in the challenge
round as of old. This speculation has
reached the extent of suggesting that
''Dick' Williams, national champion
over 10 years ago in singles but chiefly
a doubles star since then, Is being
groomed to support TiIden in the
singles.
1t can be said on authority that this
is farthest from the minds of Ameri-
cas- Davis Cup strategists. In the first
place, should anything untoward keep
Johnston out of the singles. Frank
Hunter, and not Williams, would be
the substitute choice. In the second
place, the Davis Cup committee has
even assurance that Johnston is in eX-
cellent condition and that by cOnsery-
ing his limited store of stamina. he
will be in fine fettle for the challenge
round, arriving in the East only a fort
night or so in advance to put the edge
on his playing form.
Johnston, sight unseen" many OBJ
servers hold, is q bigger threat to the
French challenge than Tilden. This is
for the reason that Little Bits" MUIR
derous drives have been the one force
the young French stars have not been
able to solve. He has never been even
close to defeat against
the French I'm the last two challenge
rounds. His only set back at the
hands of any of them-by Borotra in

For the remainder of this tour, the
Nationals starting hurlers likely Will
be Walter Johnson, Irving Hadley'
Hollis Thurston, Horace Lisenbee
and Tom Zachary. These slabmen
have been going along at a good rate
lately, even though fortune has been
against Johnson and Zachary, par
ticularly, in recent engagements.
Harris thinks he may shake UP his
club as he did for yesterdays game
with the Browns two or three more
times during this swing around the
West. He feels that some of the
PLAYERS might be benefited by a
days lay-off every once in while
at this stage of the campaign and
very likely will put his idea to a
test.
In ST. Louis, the Nationals Ger
tainly did not perform up to the
standard they had set for themselves
during their last home stand of three
weeks. Perhaps some of them are
q trifle too fine in condition and need
to lose a bit of their edge at that.
The Nationals concluded their ap-
pearance in st. Louis this year by
dropping their third game in row
to the Browns, thereby coming out
of the series with the count three
games to one against them. The
score of the set final was 6 to /.
