GOLF
BY SOL METZGER

In the third round of the York
shire Evening News tournament at
Leeds, England, few years back.
Walter Hagen was l up on Gene
Sarazen, coming to the eleventh. a
4S0-yard, par 5, hole. When these
men meet in a match great golf fol-
lows. Hagen was decidedly anxious
to break the jinx Sarazen usually
holds over him. The opening to this
hole was to the left. Sarazen out
drove Sir Walter 80 yards. The lat
ter used uncanny Judgment in sac
rificing distance for placement. He
wanted an opening to the green.
The diagram shows the positions
for their second shots. Gene had a
200-yard carry over traps to get
home
Hagen proceeded to clinch mat
ters with a brassie to the back of
the green Gene then played one
of the master shots of his whole ca

his better generalship, won the

Y DOSE wrists, that highly desira-
BILE adjunct Of correct swinging,
Is term that undoubtedly is
IL misunderstood by many golfers
Loose wrists is more a feeling
than it is a fact. There is a great
difference between wrists that are
actually loose and wrists that are
free from rigidity and stiffness. The
latter is what you want in the golf
swing.
1t is common occurrence to see
golfers who, in the effort to loosen
up their wrists, indulge the practice
of breaking the clubhead backward
and forward during the address Gig.
u. the wrists working up the most
complete abandon of looseness. This
is bad practice and the golfer who
has it should rid himself of it at
once.
Any player can note that the par
golfer invariably swings his club back
and forth few times during the
address, with the wrists. hands and
clubhead moving together. If there is
any wrist movement Of the club it
is so slight as to be almost unde-
tectable. That is the correct manner
of waggling.
Letting the wrists break the club
head back and forth is almost certain
to lead the wrists into such break

NEW YORK. March 15,-Andy Dr.
vodi has not been lighting long enough
to be superstitious. If he had he
would not have permitted his well
meaning friends to present him with a
floral horseshOw before his fight with
"Mushy" Callahan for the junior well
terweight title Monday night!
Divodi has been going well for the
snort time he has been fighting, but
he had no business in the same ring
with Callahan. For one thing, Andy
was taking part in a star bout in the
biggest indoor arena in the country.
de also was fighting better ring
general and by far better puncher.
That could mean but one thing and
Callahan turned the trick in a hurry.
The Coast lad started right off
punching away at his nice.looking op-
ponent and shook him with nasty left
hooks. Andy bravely made a squirt
Just before the bell, but it was an.
parent that Callahan was the master.
The end came shortly after the
opening of the second. A well placed
left hook to the body made Divodi
think he had been struck low. 1t was
good, clean blow, properly delivered
and Andy's chances withered like the
flowers of the wreath he received lust
/ before the fight.
