permitted him to play through. He
won the tourney, browning the un'
paralleled string Of successes he has
enjoyed for nearly a year. Voigt will
appear before Fl. II. Ramsay, secre-
tary of the United States Golf Associa-
ton, and other members of the eligi-
bility committee on Thursday at 10
o'clock at the Mayfiower Hotel to
answer the charges filed by the Dis
trict association.
The player is visibly disturbed by
the charges even though he has
thrown down the gauntlet to the Dis
trict association and declared that al
though the ruling has been made by
sectional organization he is not salts
fed and will wait for the ruling of
the parent body.
Several weeks ago President Steinem
of the District association sannounced
he had put the entire matter UP to the
United States Golf Association for a
ruling and the decision of the District
Golf Association came as q complete
surprise.

he must mark time until the parent
body has ruled upon his standing. 1t
Is quite unusual for the United States
Golf Association. to fail to take cog
nizance Of the decision of sectional
and affiliated body, and the charges
on which Voigt has been barred from
further amateur play in Washington
have been declared conclusive.
There is little question that the en-
tire matter has caused more gossip
than any golf happening in recent
years, paralleled only by the Won
Elm episode Of five years ago, when
the present amateur title holder was
declared a professional because he
sold golf clothes.
A. J. Cummings of Columbia, a close
friend of Voigt. threw down a chal-
lenge to the District Association yes
terday, calling the ruling unfair and
the men who made it biased and au-
tocratic. He will represent Voigt at
the hearing on Thursday.
Inasmuch as there are no more
tournaments around Washington until
September the ruling has little effect
for the present, but the entry of the
United States Golf Association into
the matter makes it of great i'm.
portance.
Day, the other player barred with
Voigt, was made ineligible because he
took a money prize for a marathon
golf contest and for other reasons.

fifteenth green, 4 and 3.
Plainly off-color over the first nine.
pushing his second shots far to the

match demanded super-skill, Voigt
scored a IS in beating Corkran, equal
ing the amateur record of the course
and beating the best previous mark
for the last nine holes with a scintil-
lating 80. 5 under par.
Voigt was in the lead over the final
match from the very first hole and
although Corkran made several spurts
he was unable to catch the Bannock-
burn star. who rang up five brides on
the last nine.

prizes at the conclusion of the tourna-

him from further play as an amateur

that he will represent Voigt at the

Many of us continually miss our

by striking the ground back Of
the ball or shanking-that is,
striking the ball with the heel of
the club. One primary cause for
doing this is that we get our
weight forward on our toes when
we take our stances and start our
swings. Thus, when we swing
down and put on power we are
pulled forward.
Note MacDonalds playing a
drive. He distributes his weight
at address between his heels and
toes. That takes care of any trou-
BILE Of the kind mentioned without
further reference or thought. A
great deal of golf, il played prop

matte. You can't play shot cor.
