be ordered out, into Federal service
unless they hold commissions in the

tional Army as well as their commits.
sions in the Guard, it was disclosed
last week. Just what the purpose is
in having the dual commissions in
two components of the Army of the
United States has not been fathomed
by officers who have been studying
the situation, but they express the
belief that it is an effort of the War
Department to get absolute control
of the commissioned personnel Of the
Guard. which probably would cause
the separation of commissioned per-
sonnet from their orga nizations in
time of national necessity.
But aside from the purpose behind
the move to get control of the com.
missioned personnel of the Guard,
whatever the theory might be, prac.
tically it is working out to the detri.
ment of the Nation in that it will
lose the benefit of trained personnel,
on which the Federal Government
has spent much money and time to
train. In other words, the trained
personnel is likely to be lost, and a
replacement take place of new and
unframed officers, some of whom have
never before seen military service.
AS an instance of how the prac-
tice is working out detrimentally to
the national defense. which is planned
on the theory that the United States
does not want TO, and cannot be,

therefore, keep in reserve a large
force of trained and efficient commits.
stoned personnel to form the
nucleus of organizations which
would be formed in time of war
from draft troops. to make up
the large fighting units as was done
during the World War, may be cited
the case of one officer. He has spent
years in the National Guard, and saw
service in the World War. For bust
ness reasons he was compelled to
leave the jurisdiction in which was
/ located his Guard organization. How
\ver, not wanting to sever entirely
~ military relationship, and it not
beng possible to keep his assignment

Guard Reserve as a field officer. He
would be\an invaluable asset to the
Nation in ~Df a national emer-
gency, and was willing to maintain
his status so that he could be called
Immediately into active service in
time Of war. He applied for a com.
mission in the Organized Reserves in
the same rank which he held in the
Guard. and in position which he
filled with distinction. But the War
Department said this could not be
done. If he wanted TO be in the Or
ganized Reserve, he must first sever
all connection with the National
Guard in its reserve. And this deci-
sion was in the face Of the fact
that all Guard officers, now. are re-
quired to hold similar commissions

BY SOL NETZGER.

Scarcely a golfer lives who hasn't
had a wrecked round or SO when
he seemed to be doing everything
right. Drive after drive dubbed,
brassies topped and shanked. Yet
he could not detect q fault and he
felt like playing up to his standard.
We have seen it occur quite often
to ourselves and others. Five
minutes with the professional cor
rected the trouble. In most cases
it was due to failure to hold the
club firm in the left fingers at the
top of the swing. It's an easy fault
to fall into, often caused by the
good intention of the player to
relax, as he nearly always should.
But il you study the situation
once YOU relax your left grip at
the top of the swing, you'll find, as
Abe Mitchell once told me, that the
club viii fall into the palm Of the
right hand. That makes it inn
possible for you to control it. Also,
you'll find that when you fail to
grip with the left fingers your left
wrist bends in and your right wrist
bends out. The result is your
hands are not cooked to bring the
club down and you pull it away
from it's groove when you try to do
so. Compare Bobby Jones' grip at
the top of his swing to the other
grips shown. Jones is set to
swing. He has his club under con-
troll. A loose left hand grip at the
top Of the swing is exactly like a
limp grip on a rifle when trying to
shoot. It can't be done.

her departure tomorrow for the Eng

Miss Wills won the first set at %
and relaxed to make the h0nors even
as Griffin took the second at 6--3.
One other tuningup match with
a male opponent is scheduled before
Miss Wills embarks for the scene of
the classic British tournament. There
will be workouts on the ships deck
and month of practice in England
before the championships.
Miss Wills was Yisibly in better
health than last year when she felt
the weakening effects of an opera

beamed down upon the courts and
Miss Wills wore her characteristic
eyeshade as she sent her returns
angling sharply over the net. In her

her proficiency in every department
