cidentally, scoffed at stories that
he would be unable to make 147

Dundee, he intimated, was a

There are many fighters built
along similar lines,' the champion
added, but the man who is always
dangerous is the one who fights
hardest when the going Is toughest
That fits Baker and Freeman. Both
are good boxers and short, sharp
hitters. I really believe they stand

Of the wrists at the back I do not

here I like to talk about the hands

MIDIRON

There is an inclination in this

it has helped me. I dip my ciut

might add right in here that
the player who hits his shoulder
on the back stroke is making a
great mistake.
Take great care to see that
ne shot is not hurried and that
the clubhead swings smoothly
like weight on the end Of a
string. While It il q good thing
to allow the hands to 90 far out
and back. there is such q thing
as getting the hands too far
back.
A serious and common error is to
let the weight Of your body drop
forward as the club swings back,
/ have found in midiron shots that
1t is better to swing little more
upright in order to get the best
flight. I. believe the direction the
ball takes Is governed a good deal
by the curve the hands swing in.

AS in everything else, patience is
rewarded, and by all means wait
for that solid contact Of the club.
head and the ball before putting
most Of your strength into the shot.
TO those players who persist so
much towards the flat swing send
my sympathy.
Remember you should not
swing too short or too long.
ANY player who thinks he can
hit the ball with the shoulders
first Is wrong. There Is such q
thing IS gathering yourself for
Al your rhythm and strength at

to prepare for this hit-spring-

There is a particular spot out in

you I would cultivate imagining it.
You must be sure to go out to the
limit in the back. Then dip the club
towards you before bringing it into
a sharp quick blow. You hear about
the hands acting as one, and this il
particularly true when you imagine
that you are punching the ball with
