A shot in golf that never fails
to shoot thrill through the gal.
lery is the explosion shot out OF a
sand trap with a niblick.
It is a spectacular stroke in
appearance but rather a simple
thing when played correctly.
It is called an explosion shot
because it resembles the burst.
ing Of sand bomb out Of which
the ball energies and drops neat
ly upon the green.
After one has learned TO
make the shot properly he sell
dom errs In execution. It is
the one shot in golf in which
strength and force play vital
parts.
The accompanying photograph
shows three phases Of the shot.
Stance and start OF the back
swing. 1.-The top Of the swing
and 3-the finish.
The stance is the same as for
the mashie, except that the
weight Of the body is thrown
upon the left leg. The hands are
slightly advanced. The feet have
dug into the sand to obtain a
stable, steady course.
Grounding the head Of the club
calls for penalty. Being a
force stroke the grip is excep-
tionally firm.
The back swing is less
rounded than for any other
club. In fact il is made as IN.
right as possible, as show in
the middle picture. As the club
IS taken back the weight of the
body Is thrown even more on
the left leg. Now comes the
most unusual part OF the whole

pending upon the distance to be
negotiated.
The eyes are focused on the
'7o'.
The cIubhead is brought back
sharply, vigorously, upon this
spot and the ball Is catapuIated
into the air by the sheer force
of the sand uphe8vel. A veritabIe
sand storm has been raised by
the terrific blow Of the cIubhead.
The player should attempt no
follow through, a serious error.
Merely beat the clubhead into the
sand as have done In the top
picture and the effect will be amaz.
ingly satisfactory.
Tomorrow, Times readers,

acquire the fundamentals for
playing the nlashie shot. Far

lesson which you can not afford
to miss IL you care to improve

Washington fight fans who will
witness the Foreman-R Ruby Stein
battle at the Arcadia on March Is
will have the opportunity of finding
out whether Foreman can punch
harder than Honeyboy Finnigan.
To prove this Foreman must stop
Stein. Honeyboy Finnigan. before
his first appearance in Madison
Square Garden. picked Stein, as a
stepping stone. but realized his mis-
take after the opening bell as Stein
forced the fighting for the entire
I12 rounds.
Owing to Finnigan's height and
reach he could not get in close
enough to win hut in the Fore.
man bout Stein will be meeting a
man Of his own height and reach.
Realizing that win over Foreman
in Washington will make him a
great attraction here. Stein expects
to exert himself to be in the proper
condition to win.
According to STEMS record,
Foreman has q busy evening in
front Of him. Stein defeated
Mike Dundee who is 3 candi-
date for the worlds feather
weight championship in Chicago
on December ~, 1926.
He has also defeated johnny

The Possibility" Of Banning
Downtown Parking

The Commissioners again represented to be considering
the possibility of banning all parking in the chief business
section Of Washington
This possible step advised method to lessen
geon and eliminate the necessity for further widening Of
streets and removal Of shade trees.
The Commissioners will naturally consider all phases Of
street widening and traffic before them, but consde
ton should be far the Commissioners should go to
abolition Of downtown parking.
There interests in Washington that would be
materially benefited by elimination Of downtown parking but
they not the extensive business interests Of Washington
not for the best interests of Washington people whole
The traffic situation in Washington is not yet acute
that banning of parking is usable in the business
Of this city What other cities may be compelled to do, be-
of their Streets has nothing to do with Wash
ngon with wide streets and all conditions favorable to the
free Of streets by people
Access fine business and professional establishments
should be made convenient for all the people of Washington
better acquainted with the business opportunities offered
increase business from outside of Washing
Con hamper visitors coming here with further
regulations and make difficult for them trade with
attractive establishments
Neither do want to restrict people in their
movements any than absolutely necessary and it is
NOT NOW NECESSARY to abolish downtown parking.
Is suggested to Commissioners that in traffic matters
they let well enough alone and not permit themselves to be
used for experiment purposes When conditions warrant
changes they should be made but have had plenty Of
perimentaton and the public is well tired Of it.
Traffic problems throughout Washington irritating but
like measles and mumps in children they inevitable and
must be borne with.
