coed Ia getting i proper mental
picture of what they are attempting
ia do. They manage to set the
clubhead on the BAN al some point,
but seldom at the right moment.
A good way to help get this prin-
ciple more firmly fixed in mind Is
to visualize the correct swing and
then make ! mental picture OF hit
ting with the clubhead In place Of the
wrists, arms and handa.
Try To make : picture %
what happens when yOu drive =
nail Into = board. in that net
you seldom think Of anything
except the head III the hammer.
This mental picture Of hitting
with the clubhead win aid in bring
ing about q better use OF tile club.
The great tendency OF most every
player Is to try to do all the work
himself. Either he is so keen TO
hit the ball hard or 50 Tense that he
forgets completely about the club
head. Just how much work the
clubhead can do unaided may be- IL
Illustrated BY little backyard prac.
tice. Have you ever gone out into
your yard and tried to play little
chip shots in restricted area 3
Haven't you noticed how difficult
it is to prevent the bali from gOtng
much farther than you intended +
to? 1t Ii surprising how much dis.
lance you get merely from laying
the clubhead on the ball without
apparent effort.
TO become . consistent golfer
you've got to get your swing
nlemOrized in such way that
you don't have to think Of =
million and one things when
y0n are making i.
There Is just one thing that
should be In your. mind when YOU.
start the clubhead back. Hit the
BAN. II, when you reach the top
of the swing. you stop to think and
begin, to wonder ARE nv hands In
the right posltion?" the chances are
that you won't hit the ball at all.
The time to think everything out
IL when you are addressing the
BAH. Once you start the backswing
forget everything else and cOncen.
trate on hitting the bali.
Give the club head an opportunity
to do its work. Don't start the
hands back swiftly. If you do they
are apt to come forward quickly
and be we'll in advance OF the club
head. That Is what causes 80
much slieinE.
Strive for rhythm. Just re-
member that the hands are
merely guiding the club head
and that the club head takes
complete charge Of the BAH.
There IL no possible chance for
the club head to do any work Il
1t arrives at the ball after the hands
and wrists have gone past. Nor 10
there any chance for power when
the speed OF the club head has
slackened on the downward stroke
by a too sudden tightening OF the
grip and wrists. Why golfers OF
slight build are able to hit the ball
so far Is because they hit with the
club head and not with the hands,
because they are able to bring the
club head through at tremendous
speed. Another thing to remember
In to keep the body back. Don't
let it get in ahead Of the blow.

PHILADELPHIA, June 80.
With the baseball season
practically half over, its inter
eating to compare the standing
of the clubs now with the way
they were picked to finish be-
fore the season opened. Though
sometimes it's not so COM
plimentary to the picker.
Last year ID picking the way the
clubs would finish picked the.
American League 100 per cent cor.
rectiv. and missed only two clubs
IN the National. Chicago and Gins
cinnati were reversed on me.
This year It looks as though II
might not do 50 well.
The American League, however,
seems to be running about to form.
picked the Yankees first and the.
Athletics second, and that's right
where they stand now. For third
place 1 picked Washington. But
Che st. Louis Browns have come
like Il house afire, and have upset
nay dope there.
At that though / have
hunch the Griffmeia may BE- In
third place when the season
ends. Buclky Harris has mad
mere tough luck with his club
fhia season than any other man
ager iii either league, and the
GriffHnem are just now beginning
70 play the sort Of baseball they
should play.
All spring long they've been kicked
around AL over the league, but don e
make any mistake about that WASH
ington club. They're tough and
frOw now to the end of the season
they'll grow tougher. I still think
they'll finish up in third place. with
the Browne battling them all the
way for place in the first division.
Over In the National League it's
tough to pick q winner right now
- 1t WAS In April. 4 picked the
Cardinals then and still like them
The way figure 1t out the Cards
are the best balanced club In the
league--and in a tight race like
this one it's balance that counts.
The Cards may not be outstanding
In any particular department--but
they haven't any big weakness
either. And it's that, that counts
most.
The biggest disappointment IN
The National League Is the Pitts.
burg club. figured them to be
MP in the fight every minute
and instead they're down In the
second division. It's tough TO
explain , ease like that. On
paper they size up as real con.
tender.
But It Just goes to show that
ball games and pennants are not
won on paper. They're battled for
out there on the old ball field and
the base hits in the record books
don't do any god.
The most interesting thing about
the National League race to me Is
Roger H0rnsby's attempt to build
up a winner in Boston. Rog Is hav-
ing a tough time OF it--but he has
put over some trades lately which
ought to help him a lot. Il wouldn't
be surprised to SO the Braves hit
their stride pretty soon and make
things tough for a lot OF other
clubs. Give Rog two more good
pitchers and he'd be right up there
with the leaders.
But as / said before you can't
dope the National League. It's
too close. Any time four or five
clubs are punched in a pennant
fight, one mans guess is as good
as another / picked the Cardinals
before the season opened. and I'm
sticking with them. But it's no
breeze, believe me. And some un.
expected accident or happening
could upset the whole apple cart.
