An Erect Stance
Popular in Golf
BY SOL METZGER.

Recent readers of these articles
will agree that methods for driving
differ among the stars. Let us now
see If there is not a composite pic
ture of this stroke, one that clears
details and is based on common
principles.
Fortunately, most details concern
the stance. After understanding
these one may bear in mind only a
few thoughts as he swings. The
main one is to hit the ball. Your
stance is taken solely with the OBJ
ject in mind of being able to apply
the greatest possible force along the
intended line of flight at contact.
Where is this force found?
Visualize the golf swing. It is a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-17

But at Winged Foot in the next 10
days you will see how the best in the
field use their hands to hit with the
clubhead. There is body action, but it is
free-and-easy body action. and is never
pronounced.
Their main body action comes in
getting into position to hit the ball.
From that point it is the hands that
whip the clubhead through, hands
working with flexible wrists.
Remember" says Jock Hutchinson,
Ito swing the hands and arms indie
pendent of the body-the body will fol-
low"
This is what all golfers do. Good
golfers don't look as if their hands were
nailed to their wrists and as If their
arms we're locked to their bodies. They
hit with the clubhead and they use
their hands to carry out this operation
EOR the average golfer the body is
l. always in the way. The good golfer
tries to keep the body in place
nicely balanced, in order to give his
hands, wrists and arms chance tC
whip the clubhead on its way through
the ball.
The good golfer let's his body turn
easily and naturally, in order to let the
majority of the weight move from the
left foot or leg to the right. His next
movement on the down swing is to get
the body out of the way as quickly as
he can. You can see this in the quick
manner in which the left foot is dropped
back to position. But from that point
on the hands seem to be the main fea-
lures Of the swing, the hands acting IN
charge of the clubhead Naturally the
hands can't work if the wrists are stiff
ened or locked, as they too often are.
It is hard to open a door on rusty
hinge. A rubber hinge would be almost
as bad. But there can be flexible wrists,
without going to the other extreme.

Before the erud1te Mr.. Tunney peat
the comparatively unlettered Mr..
call it, would be against the gladiator
seen sinking out of a library. This
time it will be with the literary man
Hitherto strictly unreliable sources have
been reporting that Uzudun was the
favorite Now that it has leaked out
that the German prizefghter is literary
there will be a marked switch in the
betting.
1t has come to be accepted that a
priZefighter who does not do GER
tain amount of more or less serious
reading is Sinking his training work.
Herr Schmelings press agent has it
that the profound Prussian Is burn
ing plenty of the midnight electric
Juice. Reports from the UZundun
camp at the old homestead of VIII
liam F. Carey have it that Senior
Uzundun is dancing La Jota and
other measures, tripping the light
and quite fantastic when his mind
should be on better things.
1t may be just coincidence that one
of the favorite authors of Herr Schmel-
ing also happens to be the favorite
author of Mr.. Tunney, the same being
Mr.. George Bernard Shaw. This fact
also may influence the betting to such
an extent that when the men enter the
ring at the Yankee Stadium on June q
the German may be pronounced
faVorite.
Mr.. Dempsey's friends again are
insisting that he will stage a come
back in the event that Schmeling
disposes of the boisterous Basque.
This seems a bit unwise. 1t is hard
to see how Mr.. Dempsey ever would
be able to catch up in his reading to
be in shape to meet such a fornid-
able opponent as Schmeling threat
ems to be- If he has any intention
of meeting this super-student Of the
cauliflower industry he ought to be
working out with DR.. Eliot's f1ve-
foot shelf at the current writing in
stead of the lighter literature he has
been using for training purposes.
If the worst should come to the
worst and Schmeling should become
heavyweight champion of the world
which is not so unlikely, there would be
a demand for the return of Tunney tC
win back the title for the United States
It might be that Tunney would agree
to meet Herr Schmeling in a 20-foot
library, but nowhere else.
Labor Troubles Ahead.
Some of the boys who always lool
ahead for trouble are predicting labor
difficulties in organized base ball fol
1880. The tip seems to be out that the
magnates, getting their heads together
! with tremendous noise, as of spheroid'
of ivory clicking together in thought
are determined to revise base bal
salaries downward next season.
Apparently there Is no good reason
for anticipating this sort of action ex.
cepting that it would be very pleasing
to the magnates II it could be accom-
plished without too much argument. 81
| far as reports indicate, all the base bal
clubs made money last year. The mag
mates never give out exact statistics
but all their investments seem TO have
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-17

centrifugal force centering in the
left shoulder. The radius is
straight left arm and the shaft.
Thus we find the lowest arc of this
swing to be opposite the left Shout
der. Here, too, the clubhead travels
at its greatest velocity. That is
why Jones and most stars tee the
ball approximately off this shoulder.
They also stand erect. Crouching
compels reaching and that in turn
throws one off balance Without
balance no one can make great
physical effort, such as the drive
demands. To hit the ball on the in
tended line of flight the face of the
club must be back of the ball and at
right angles to this line. Place the
feet naturally as you walk-pointin
almost straight ahead.

been paying dividends. The idea is to
have them paying bigger and better
dividends in the future, though this
contamination might be reached at the
expense of the downtrodden base ball
laborer.
It will be quite all right II they
can get away with it. But, provided
Mr.. Ruth RECEIVERS his ordinary robust
health and is able, to get in and
swing at them every day, it is going
to be quite a delicate situation when
Col Jacob Rupert asks him to take
a decided cut in salary. 1t will be
especially delicate because gossip has
it that the Babe was just thinking of
asking to be raised from $4,000 a
year to 100000 on the ground that
he is now permanently married and
that two cannot live as cheaply as
one.
There are other athletes who feel in
quite the same mood, what with the
increased cost of living and one thing
and another, and there is some mutter-
ing about forming a union of the down
trodden and submerged workers in what
Mr. Ping Bodie used to call the base
ball orchard" It will be terrible II
there Is a general strike.

Gil Calls Mexican
Congress to Study
Special Labor Code

MEXICO CITY, July 1O.-PA
President Emilio Portes Gil will is
sue a call Immediately for a spe-
cial session of the Mexican con-
gress to convene July 20 to consider
the special labor code he announc-
ed last November.
The code involves radical changes
in the relationship between en-
ploye and employer. Its adoption
will mark one Of the young revolu-
tionary governments greatest
strides along the path designated
for it by its mentors, Aware Obre-
gon, Plutarco Elias Gales and
President Portes Gil.
Many innovations are contem-
plated in the measure, probably
the most drastic of which is a sys-

Family Return To
Mexico Shows Big
Increase IN 1929

Sixty-two families returned to
Mexico through the Brownsville
port during the month Of June. ac-
ccrding to figures in the office of
the Mexican consul. So far, 20 fam
lilies have returned during July.
This is a large increase over the
previous year and was doubtless
caused by the new American immi-
grafton laws which went into eff
feet July 1, according to Benjamin
Trevino, consulate attache. The
Mexican government is allowing
families returning to bring in their
household goods duty free, Trevino
stated.
The larger portion Of these fami-
lies have been residing in the VAL
ley while a few came from the ter
ritory surrounding Corpus Christi,
it was said. Many of them did not
come under the new ban but were
frightened by the regulations, Ire
vino said.
