Dewey Guides With
Left When Chipping

If you watch Longworth play his
chips dead over hazards you will see
him take the club back with a
straight left arm, you will note that
both arms are kept close to his body
and that as the club head goes back
it begins coming in and up, due to
the roll of the left wrist.
There is little body turn or pivot.
One may notice the left knee give a
bit inward. There is no hurried back
swing. In consequence. no exagger-
ated taking back of the club. It's
head is just above the hip line at the
top of the swing for this short chip.
When the soles of the feet stay
on the ground. as Longworth's do.
I doubt if a golfer has to worry much
about the slight pivot made on such
a shot. He would best serve his ends
IL he devoted his attention to the
straight left arm taking back the
club. As his grip is well down the
handle he will not tend to overswing
either. as one does who grips near its
top. BY keeping the arms close in
and the left in control the back
swing will work out right.

TOday's Tennis Tip.

Winning psychology" like the fourth
dimension. is one of those things more
easily talked about than explained. But
it is well worth cultivating at the nets.
It's foundation, of course. lies in self
confidence. in the knowledge that one
has dependable game. So the first
step toward acquiring this attribute of
the good tournament player Is to de-
velop dependable game Not specta-
cular, necessarily. nor brilliant, but with
consistent service and at least one or
two dependable strokes
More than this is included in the
combination of elements known as win
ming psychology. however Many a
player who to all appearances has a
most dependable game is unable to win
consistently in tournament play. This
may be due to number of things, but
primarily to the lack of concentration
on the point at hand. A large part OF
winning psychology Is just a matter of
concentration-of allowing no thought
to enter the mind but one: II must get
this point"-rot this game or this
set: not "why didn't get the last
point?" but just get this point" The
instant that the mind wanders from
the point in hand. the opponent has an
opening to catch the player unawares
and score a placement shot herself.

The surface of the bridge is a

passage by Congress of such legis-
iation will go long way in de-
creasing the number of stolen

of the automobile title law for
long time.
An argument against the pro-
posed compulsory insurance law,
raised at a meeting of the New
York Automobile Merchants AS
Sociation. is easily answered. Ac-
cording TO the Automotive Daily
News. Herbert G. McLear. counsel
for the New York association,
stated that uncompensated acci-
dent losses amount to less than l
per cent OF the total judgments
awarded. In other words. Mr.. Nc
Lear is quoted as saying, less than
one defendant in a hundred who
is assessed damages by a court Of
law lacks the financial respons-
ibility to meet his obligation.
According to an editorial in the
Automotive Daily News, this
brings up the question as to
whether a compulsory insurance
law. with its automatic creation
of State departments and it's tre-
mendouS expenditures by motor
vehicle owners, is not beating a
very small piece of thistle down
with a very large club. In other
words. is not a law which benefits
less than one in a hundred OF
actual sufferers and vet costs the
tremendous sums to enforce that
such a statute does. rather a la
bility than q benefit TO the people
as a whole?"
To begin with, "the automatic
creation of State departments and
tremendous expenditures" are
purely imaginary and have not
been borne out where the law has
been on trial. But chiefly the
argument that the law should not
be adopted because only ! per cent
OF the defendants against whom
judgments were awarded were
financially insolvent seems TO be
an argument for the adoption OF
the law.

In other words, 20 use the
phrase OF the New York paper, 80

where 80 miles an hour is per-

inouiring into the number Of traf-
fic lights and their efficacy as to
relieving congestion. About II re-
plies have been received and con-
tain many notes Of interest. In
some cities, the report states that
traffic is speeded up, in some 1t is
slowed down. All reports show
that the number of accidents
have decreased since installation
of these signals. Full details OF
these reports will be released later.
The passing Of the old gates and
posts at west Executive and
Pennsylvania avenues will be
hailed by motorists and pedeS-
trianS alike. For long time these
distractions have been a menace
TO traffic and have been kept
there for no reason at all. Why
the gates were not removed at the
time those On East Executive ave-
nue. were taken away is mystery.
The Senate's action Of last week,
although somewhat belated, Is
heartily approved. Not only did
this inapedimenta slow up traff1c,
but added materially to the dan
gers that wisdom is trying to
erase.
The condition of the roadway of
the Highway Bridge was pointed

fort has been made to repair the
crumbling surface, full Of rutS ana
holes. The fact that men were
actually seen engaged IN this
needed work is the only proof that
they were there. The present con-
dition of the main route leading
into the city from the South is as
bad II not worse than before. Just
why a working crew was per-
naitted TO spend several days on
the bridge and leave it in such a
deplorable state is not easy to

Gus dealers would dismiss the
bugaboo of fear that they would
not be able to sell as many cars
should the law be nationally
adopted, then the aspects of the
law could be considered in an un-
biased, unSelfish manner.
With the warm Spring days the
slow driver is more in evidence
than ever upon the streets OF the
city. No one minds him going
