!, In his zeal to obtain a long
drive, the novice reposes too much
faith in his right hand. He has
always done everything with his
right hand more or less, and 1t
is but natural that he should EN-
phasize the power Of this member
while endeavoring to bite off more
distance than is within his pro-
vince.
1t is this freedom of hitting with
the right hand that is responsible
for many of our golfing ills. 1
need but tell you that the pro.
fessionaI golfer has ever to. be
on his guard against his right
hand to make you realize how
perilous that fault Is. The pro-
fessional keeps a constant guard
over this Industrious right hand.
He has to put bride on 1t when.
ever a fit OF hooking besets him.
When he Is hitting the bali

nothing to time. His premature
hitting has gotten him off balance
and brought into play the strength
to have kept curbed. He tries to
do with sheer strength the work
that the club-head could do were 1t
merely accelerated at the pruper
time.
Most of this ill.timed hitting is
caused by improper gripping of
the club. The thumb Of the left
hand should be back of the shaft
and the left hand should be per-
mitted to move over the top OF the
shaft far enough to make this pos
sible. The common practice is to
have the left thumb on top of the
shaft.
The thumb pressure on the
back of the shaft Is a leading
factor in the work Of the left
hand which has most of the
work to do or at least appears
to have. As l pointed out to
my readers some time ago. the
emphasizing of the left merely
equalizes the power Of the
hands.
Now when you are swinging the
club with the left hand back of
the shaft, you can distinctly feel
the pressure and the use of the
left thumb against the side of the
shaft and you are able to realize
that the right hand Is being kept
under control.

The fault with 30 per cent of
the poorer golfers is that they begin
to hit with the right hand much
too soon. They should let the left
hand and the left arm get the club
head almost to the ball before the
right hand applies the last minute
power or punch. This is timing the
shot. In his eagerness to get the
blow over with as quickly as pos
sible, the poorer player begins hit

When the warm tones of her

Wagner's "Traume," the song of

sprightliness of a nymph.
AS in her most stupendous
