so that there is much less danger of
its being carried off line, IL there

When playing with the wind,

About the only thing about
which the player need be eau

I won't stop to try to figure out

Among expert players there is a
common practice OF holding a ball

But my advice to the less skillful
Is to stick to trying to hit the ball
absolutely straight, and to make a
little allowance for the fact that the
wind will blow the ball a little off
the line, even though it Is hit

The main thing to be done when
playing against the wind Is to keep
the ball low. There are different
ways of doing this.
One is to play ii from q some
what higher tee than ordinarily
and hit with a distinctly descending
blow. that is to make the clubhead
strike the ball before it has reached
the lowest level OF the swing.
However, this is rather an expert
method. because the average player
is not sISillful enough to judge the
path of the clubhcad so accurately.
Another way 70 keep the hall
lower is to alter the stance and
swing slightly. Aim at swinging
the club on = flatter arc than
usual for one thing.
Also play the ball a little more
back toward the right foot. Keep
the wrists a bit firner than for
weight rather more forward on the
left foot at the top OF the back
swing.
These pointers are directions for
what Is usually called the forcing
shot, and really mean that the
clubhead will be made to strike
the ball before it has begun to rise
after reaching the lowest level OF
the arc.
A ball struck under these condi.
tons is given a. backward spin,
which helps to keep it low in its

Should affairs of the ring
shape themselves so that Tom
Heeney, the New Zealander,
meets Gene Tunney in this years
Battle of the Century, a rare
contrast i'll types will be afford
ed-for compared to the edu-
Gated Tunney, Heeney is indeed
a far call back to the sage
brush of standardization.
Like Tunney, however, Tom
Heeney's presence in the ring
limeIlght is directly traceable to
the war. But before the conflict
of a decade ago, Tom was a
half-savage, half-tamed young
ster, who knew no more about
what a pair of shoes felt like
than a hog knows of George
Washington's Birthday. Heeney
got his first set Of brogans
from an English quartermaster
sergeant, as did most of Toms
huddies who came out of the
New Zealand thickets. Further
more, he admits he didn't know
how to lace the darn things on
when they were issued to him
and it took months and months
to get used to the feel of leath-
err covering his underpinning.
The Washington times., 1928-02-13

He tried to recover it through
diplomatic means, but had no
success, and right there his
fighting career commenced. The
orderlies from the infirmary had
to carry his antagonist away
from there, and his comrades,
seeing a good man in their
ranks, soon had him represent
ing the regiment in all matters
of pugilistic dispute. It seems
Tom took to leather for his
hands much more readily than
,fc.. his feet, and fought behind
the lines many barefoot bat
tie that was not bare-knuckle
one.
Finally Mr.. Bernard Morti-
mer, the Tex Richard Of the
London Sporting Club, heard
of the Amaze gladiator and made
a trip up into a rest area to
see the warrior.
"Heeney" he said to the big
brute from the Antipodes, i
made a fortune out of Joe Beck
EFT. and he couldn't remain hori-
zontsl. With a bloke like you
who can stay perpendicular
longer than any British subject
/ ever saw in the ring, / ought
to make millionaires out OF US
both"
Well. one word lead to an
other, and after the armistice
was signed Mortimer took Heen-
ey, who by this time was able
to wear q pair of shoes with
out feeling self-conscious, into
hands and got him some capa-
BILE instructors. He won . lot
of fights in the British Isles and
ultimately his manager decided
that America, with its big
purses and eliminations, was the
spot for the New Zealander.
Heeney is one of the Big
Four. the other members OF
which are Risko. Delaney, and
Sharkey, from whom Richard
expects to find an opponent for
Gene Tunney, and if Heeney
makes the grade, well, don't be
surprised if he asks his seconds
to remove his shoes between
rounds, for he didn't know what
they were up until about ten
years ago.
The Washington times., 1928-02-13

Heeney's first fight came as
the result of q dispute over the
ownership of paint brush. He
was engaged in decorating one
of the barracks buildings and
when the bugle blew for the
MONDAY chow he laid the brush
down by the bucket of paint,
only to fiad it in the hands of
another when he returned.

that every bout that night wasn't
