musical memories.
But it was the great high school
orchestra in Chicago that made the
wave lengths sing their greatest
song last evening. Gathered in the
Auditorium Theater were 81 boys
and girls ranging in age from IL
years to 90 years, who, under the
direction of Frederick A. Stock, of
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
played Dvorak's New World Sym
pllony" as it has seldom been heard
in this country. Every fine tone,
every delicate variation and all of
the great climaxes of this gorgeous
bit of harmony were given com
plete expression.
But, bigger than the orchestra,
and as great as the music itself,
was the idea behind it all. The
children were gathered from 80
States. They represented every
phase of social and material as well
as geographic America, and they
played music of master composer
with the artistic finish of orchestral
veterans, though they had re-
hearsed together less than week:

Watch any OF the men VINO nave

players and youIl find that they
adhere to those two principles;
watch beginners and mediocre play.
ers and you'll find that they don't
and therefore lack compactness and
consistency.
don't mean to say that yolI
can't occasionally hit fine shot
even when you break one or both
Of these two rules. but do mean
to say that il the right elbow IS
permitted to fly loose there Is no
possible way to control the ball.
The real test of iron club play
being control, II follows that this
matter of keeping the straight left
arm close TO the body on the back
swing and the right elbow in fairly
close throughout the back and down
swings are vitality important.
Most players have trouble with
their iron shots because of i'm.
proper stances. Too many golf
ers make the mistake of stand.
ing too far away from the ball,
especially on pitch shots with
either the mashie or the mashie
niblick.
There is a great tendency to 10
this after they begin to hit the ball
in the heel of the club and socket
it a few times. In order to correct
this they move back and then, AS
they swing they lean into 1t and
heel or socket worse than ever. In
all pitch shots the stance should
be taken so that the head is almost
over the ball and where the elbows
can be held, in under control all
the time.
The main point in the golf stroke
is hitting from the inside out" and
with the elbows under control one
is able to punch fairly firmly with.
out standing too far away. This all
assists in making for compactness,
without which no one can play
steady golf.
There are great many golfers
who can get along fairly well on
certain days, but who are terrible
on others, and they wonder why.
1t is simply because they have
not learned the secret OF COM
pactness.
OF course, even players who nave
acquired the knack of compa ctness,
are sometimes off and sometimes on.
In other words, all of US have our on
and our off days. but the man who
adheres to the rules of keeping the
right elbow in and the left arm
fairly close, and who stands up 10
the ball, will be apt to have less Off
days than the one who makes these
mistakes.
You will also often see men play
iron shots standing with their knees
as stiff as pokers. That sort OF a
stance means that you will have all
kinds of trouble in keeping the bal
ance you should have.
