Were you to watch James Ocken.
den play a midiron the crispness
Of the shot. the rhythm of his
timing. would prove most impress
sive. There is no hard blow struck,
yet the ball travels with low ira
jectory and carries for tremendous
distances. Ockenden gets his
weight into the shot at contact, an
important point with the long irons.
This is accomplished by unwinding
his body bit more rapidly than
he pivots it on the upswing. 1t is
done so smoothly that there Is not
the least 1urch into the ball. He
prevents getting his hands ahead of
the ball, thus causing slice, by
the speed with which he brings the
club head down from a position
horizontal to his hips to the ball,
a fine example Of wrist action IL
ever there was one.
Note the two sketches above. One
represents Ockenden on the up
swing. the other on the doWnswing.
The club is in about the same rela-
tive position. At this point on the
downswing Ockenden has not
thrown his weight entirely on the
left leg. That does not occur until
actual contact. This is the i'm.
portant point in playing a midiron.
Don't let the weight get ahead of
the arm swing. If it does, things
will go wrong. Try to start your
doWnSWing with an arm pull, the
left being straight.

state. district and city champion
ships are being held, and the rapid
development of the game is seen in

A special article in a Boston paper
says:
Every kid in Brockton is now car

The article goes on to report that
Daniel w. Field. a retired shoe manu-

supply money to build public course.
This was opened a few weeks ago and
is now going full swing.
In Detroit the public course given

a boost for the game. and the same is
true Of the course given Dayton by
John FL. Patterson. There will be an
ever-increasing number of such gifts

Boys Keen for Golf.
Boys take a tremendous interest in
golf. Tommy and myself find any
where from so to 300 kids following
us in our matches. OF course, the
boys, most of them caddies, never are
charged to follow the exhibition
matches, but they all seem willing to
give up an afternoon of caddying to
watch.
Nationality has nothing to do with
interest in golf. Sons of parents who
come from countries with no golfing
history whatever become as enthusiaS-
tic over the game and play as well as
boys whose parents or grandparents
were born in st. Andrews or North
Berwick.
Right here it might be reasonable
to object to the sentiment of writer
in New York weekly magazine who,
commenting on the American Ryder
Cup team. said it was hardly an Amer
ican organization, as it was composed
of one Dutchman, a couple of Ger
mans, several Italians, two Irishmen
and Spaniard.
I should say that the criticism that
this was not an American team was
unfair, and that the sentiment ex-
pressed was much more un-American
than the team.
