Had George Won Elm not gone to
England last year he says he never
would have beaten his old pal,
Bobby Jones, in the u. c. Amateur.
The credit for that upsetting per-
fermance, according to George
himself, belongs to George Duncan,
British professional. Duncan
showed me really how to hit a
ball. Give George the credit for
my success" he said after defeat
ing Bobby last year.
All of which is pretty good
reason for looking into Duncans s
game. We talked it over one
morning at breakfast when he was
first here with Abe Mitchell, about
the ouly time you could corner him
for n comfortable chat during
that tour. Duncan's theory is that
good golf is played with the soles
of the feet. Your pivot, balance
and control are due entirely to the
way you use your feet.
Watch him on his back swing.
He pushes with the inside of the
sole of the left foot. That push
starts the club back because it
rotates the hips, the hips in turn
rotate the shoulders and the left
shoulder in turn pushes back the
left arm. Duncan drags his club
back and after his body pivot is
complete cocks the club by swing
ing the left arm back into position.
Many stars drag the club back, in.

not appeared to advantage since their

made q mistake in their play, but
since they have blundered frequently
Mental lapses at times have been cost
ly. and Harris has been striving
earnestly in skull" drills to give his
charges better idea of the game than
some seem to have had.
Mechanically, too Harris sees room
for much improvement. So far the
infield has not functioned We'll, espe-
cially around the keystone sack. There
has been no snap in double-play at
tempts, and the club is woefully weak
in this particular defensive move,
Stuffy Stewart while he took care of
the second sacking seemed overanX-
ious in most of his plays and generally
failed TO handle the ball cleanly. Har-
ris, now back in harness, hopes to in
crease the pepper of the inner Gordon,
but with a battered finger and n
mashed toe he is not in good enough
condition to give a fine account of
himself.
1 Buddy Myer at shortstop still is a
problem and a most perplexing one,
too. He is showing up better in his field
ing of grounders since the title race be-
gan, bur he still shows a too great
tendency to road to the Quilted for
chances that properly belong to the
pasture men. Manager Harris thinks.
Nor is Buddy displaying any improve
hnent in double-play work. He still
lacks skill as pivot man and SEEM
ingly was utterly unable to function
well while playing around the middle
station with Stewart.
Myer Should Acquire Polish.
