HUGE PURSE

LONG BEACH, Cal. Jan. S.-Tom.
my Armour. the Washington golf pro.
fessional. can thank his strong arms
and wrists for the most brilliant
and consistent playing in the Long
Beach championship at the Virginia
Country Club here yesterday. They
were strong enough to win the Long
Beach title.

able considering the class in the

more than enough to finish safe.

third and fourth money.
1T might be said that Tommy
Armour's putter played as equal a
part in his victory as that OF his
irons. His putter did what was left
to be accomplished after his usually
deadly execution to the green's. and

get 1t you are on dangerous ground.
Remember to relax a little.
There IL even such a thing as
getting your hands up too high for
the best circle Of the hands. Watch
the position Of the clubhead as 1t
moves. While it is very important
to have your arms act rather indie
pendently, do not overdo it. Should
you not take your hands way back,
you are apt to get your face off the
right angle when 1t meets the ball.
Just remember to hit with care. If
you need to twist little at your
wrist, do so. If you find that your
hands are being forced through,
shorten the circle a little more.

Straight Lift
Essential In
Iron Shot
BY Charles (Chiek) Evans, Jr.
Mldiron DownstrOIke

There is a proper circle for the
hands to take. I do not say that
a player cannot get some good shots
without breaking his wrists at the
back. but I do say that they are
not so good and cannot be kept up
for a good average.
The limit of the backstroke should
be when the club goes back until It
pulls at the left arm socket. Bear
in mind the vertical line, and be
sure to keep the hands back or
even with 1t until the ball is hit.
There h such . thing as
hitting i'm too much Of . hurry
at the back, so wait q little IL

San DIEGO And

HOLD MEETING
Mayor Clark Chief Speak
er at Get-Together Din
ner at Pine Valley.

More than 100 members of the
! San Diego Development association
| and Associated Chamber Of Com
merce of Imperial Valley joined
| hands at the meeting held in Pine
Valley last night. A lively program
of social nature was carried out dur
ing the evening, marked by an ad-
dress by Mayor Clark Of San Diego
in which he urged the cementing of
greater friendships between Imper-
ial and San Diego county residents.
Judge Myers Of Calipatria, presi-
dent of the associated chambers, in
an answering address carried the
good wishes of the valley to their
western neighbors.
~ still feel that Imperial and
San Diego are Just one big county
as in days of old" Mayor Clark re-
marked in opening his address. He
then went on to commend the yari-
Gus districts of the two counties in
their respective development and
lauded the spirit of cooperation
which exists in all parts of the two
counties.
\ mark Of the cooperative spirit
felt by all at the meeting was
made when the San Diego body took
immediate action upon a suggestion
made by Judge Myers. The sugges-
tion was relative to the Julian
Brawlcy highway. \ strip of this
roadway, 90 miles lying in San Di-
ego county and Is miles in Imperial
county is unpaved. The Judge sug-
gested that the San Diego organiaa-
tion seek to have this road named
as secondary road in order that
tax money collected by the state
might be made available. He also
declared that if the state refused to
assist that the organization would
seek to have the supervisors act in
the matter. He said that the super
visors of this county have agreed
to match any road built by San Di-
ego. The judge pointed out that
this roadway would open a second
avenue from Imperial county to San
l'ltEos pdu bAtSo
immediately>passed a resolution ap-
proving the suggestion and named
4 committee to probe the matter.
Crville Mcpherson, secretary or
the San Diego organization, acted

called in turn upon various heads
of the San Diego association for
brief talks and the men responded
