burrow is caused by the drying air
he lets in. Thus he does unwilling

HEENEY LOGICAL
FOE FOR GENE
Ry Davis j. Walsh

NEW YORK, March 23.-Through
devious channels, which represents
par in the Isaac Pitman system OF
saying that somebody has told more
than he cares to be credited with,
comes the word from Miami today
that George Richard and Brotner
Tunney have reached an under'
standing"
If they are referring to the heavy
weight situation. this makes them
exactly one up on the rest of us
but, anyhow, the word is that Tun-

than July, that his opponent either
will be Tom Heeney or Johnny
Risko. and that the site of the
transaction will be New York.

ferred candidate at the moment,

the championship were to be

man who would be In there
taking uncalIed for liberties
with Brother Tunney's nuckles.
The latter usually are most dis
eliminating. but this is not the
time for finical proprieties. Shrink
though they may from this con-
tact, an undeserving chin simply
must strike them very rudely be-
fore the end Of the summer.
Apparently for lack OF more
adequate data, it has been decided
that the time might as well be
july and the chin might as well
be Heeney'e, However, under.
stand that neither George nor
Brother Tunney is definitely COM
mitted to any opponent.
They simply have agreed that
Heeney is . superior attraction
over RisEo, provided this pair

time. which probably 1t will.

So, while good backswing
doesn't necessarily mean a good
shot, it is most important that a.
correct start be made in taking the
club back properly. Then, how
should this be done? Well. the story
won't be new to those who have
been reading this series of articles,
but I don't think the subject can
be overemphasized.
First, consider the pivoting. With
the right leg firmly braced, and
the head held stationary in the POI
sition it occupies in starting the
swing, turn the body toward the
right to where the shoulders are
lined up almost at right angles to
the line of play.
This will cause the left knee to
bend, partly forward toward the
ball. and partly inward to the right
knee. Also the left heel will have
raised up from the ground. leaving
only the toes and ball Of the foot
resting on the ground, but these
must still carry enough weight to
leave the player a feeling of easy
balance from side to side.
Now II the body turn has
been made as directed, the club
will have been pushed back
away from the ball. keeping
low along the ground for a
foot or more. The left arm.
kent firm at the elbow should
do most Of the work.
At the top of the swing, the left
arm should be comfortably straight,
with maybe q little bend or curve
1t the elbow, and the hands should
occupy q position about the level
of the right shoulder or little
above, and some SIX inches out
from it.
Physically the above is about
what should take place. but of
course there is the further con-
sideration OF a smooth steady
movement in doing this. Avoid
any hurried snatchy movements.
And If you are uncertain of your
self, it is better to do the whole
thing IN a deliberate manner. At
any rate, nothing can be gained
from hurrying. II you can get
this far, find yourself about in the
position set out and have the feel
ing of steady balance, with the
muscles relaxed and unstrained.
you are certainly in a correct
position for hitting a good shot.
