for deliberately playing for a high
ball. If you want the ball to go higher
than the loft of the club would
naturally elevate it you can make it
take such flight by placing it forward
this way before swinging.
When making mashie or mashie-
niblick approach the flight will be
better and the ball will drop and
stick better. if you address the hall
back slightly toward the right toe
before swinging, thus having the
hands slightly in front of the ball
when addressing. Figure 3. 1t would
appear that to put the ball forward
would yield the best result, if the for
ward position has a tendency to make
the flight higher, but practice proves
this is not the best theory. The ball
shot from the forward position will go
higher but it's flight will be wobbly and
unsatisfactory, whereas when 1t is
hit with the clubhead still coming
down. with the ball back. the ball gets
up high enough, and it has that soli-
dity of hit that makes the shot salts
flying. Figure 4.
Try it both ways and the demonstra-
ton will convince you. But in any
event be careful with the irons that
the open stance does not get the ball
too far forward all the time.

which are as big as a gallery mar

the most beautifully muscled under

are ample. Wherefore he has the
essentials of perfect balance. tre-

be the limit in perfect golf. Against

tn HE position of the ball when
| you swing an iron can be
most deceiving, and can very
i easily lead to persistent in
accuracy with the irons. The
ball should be positioned not further
forward than midway between the feet
when using any degree of the open
stance, and with a wide open stance,
the ball should be back more toward
the right toe.
For self-demonstration of how the
ball can so easily be out of position
when using an open stance. the golfer
has but to make simple test for
himself. For instance, take a stance
position, with the feet square, and
with the ball at point just off the
left heel. Figure l. Now without
moving the left foot at all, bring the
right foot toward the ball until your
feet are in partly opened stance
position. Figure 2.
Now look at the ball and you will
see 1t lies midway between the feet,
though it hasn't been moved at all.
1t is in just the right place for the
swing.
However, if with this partly opened
stance you placed the ball off the
left heel it would be too far forward
unless, of course. you have occasion

turn going into the last mile there was
no quickening of his stride. He ap-

Michel, who crowded into second

in good condition and stood by for
several minutes while photographers
doomed their flashlights.
Too Much for Women.
None of the woman entrants could
