Joyce Keeps Putter
AT a Right Angle

A few years ago Glenna Collett
cabled her family from England,
following her defeat in the British
women's golf championship, Joyce
unbeatable" Until Glenna arose to
sublime heights in our women's
title event in late September any
one who saw Joyce Wethered defeat
Glenna overwhelmingly that day
or viewed her in any golf event
over a period Of a few years held
the same view. She was the great
est player her sex had produced.
Now Glenna ranks with her.
Miss Wethered has definite
theories about her putting. It diff
fers from Sarazen's in that she
takes the club straight back from
the ball, it's face always at right
angles to the line to the cup.
Hers is almost squeezed putt
in that she meets the ball on the
downswing. This because she plays
If off point between her feet, in
stead of off her left heel.
But Joyce overcomes the squeez-
ing tendency by Stroking her ball
with putter that has a Slight loft,
Her object is to keep the head of
the putter low and at right angles
to the line all through. Thus her
club never gets beyond the per-
pendicular during contact.

Maurice J. Mccarthy, star George

ington Golf and Country Club and
one of the mainstays of Georgetown's
basket ball team, may defend his in
tercollegiate golf title over the course
of the Deal IN. j. Country Club next
June.
Mccarthy said yesterday the choice
for the championship lies between Deal
and the layout of the Rockaway Hunt
Club. Deal is a famous layout, well
known to many Washingtonians.
Mccarthy views the coming inter-
collegiate individual championship and
the team title chase as affairs in which
any one may pick the winner The
strong Princeton team, with Eugene
Romans, metropolitan titleholder, as its
ace, looms as the strongest of the inter-
collegiate teams.
In the individual ranks Mccarthy Is
certain to find vigorous opposition from
Romans, who beat him last year in the
final of the metropolitan championship;

with very supple wrists, allowing the
club to swing back a little below
horizontal.
The shift is caused by throwing the
whole body weight on to the right foot
at the top of the swing without moving
the head, and then swinging that weight
on to the left foot just before and during
the impact.
Right Wrist Does Work.
. This should not be construed as sway
The. left arm Is perfectly straight, right
up to the finish, guiding the stroke. The
right wrist does most Of the work. My
right hand is slightly under the shaft
and the left rather on top, making that
wrist strike at the ball edgewise. This
gives the maximum distance, though 1t
Is rather difficult to control.
I use a wide stance, playing the ball
off my left toe, tee the ball high, and
hit on the upswing, with a slightly
lofted driver which weighs 1872 ounces
The swing Is fiat, rather than upright
Bobby Jones is the most consistently
long and straight driver I ever have
seen, with Gene Sarazen close second
Jones hooks the ball when off form, but
never enough to put him out Of the
running.
The greatest tee shot ever saw was
the one Bobby played in the final OF
the national championship at Mimi
kahda against Chick Evans. It came on
the ninth hole of the morning round
This hole is SIG yards long. slightly dog
leg, and with the last half up a steen
grade. 1t must play pretty close to 600
yards.
His Eagle z TInenuaIad
Jones proceeded to clout his ball a
terrific distance up the fairway. and SO
accurately placed to avoid an out-of-
bounds on the right that he was able to
bang a spoon shot to within two feet
OF the cup for the only eagle 8 ever
made on that hole. Most Of the praise
was given that beautiful second, but
that drive Of over 800 yards put Jones
in position where he could make 1t.
A drive 80 yards shorter than the
one he had there would have made 1t
impossible to reach the green with a
spoon or brassie, and he would have
had to be content with a par 5.
Jones hits shots like that when they
are necessary. There are several pro-
fessionals and amateurs who can bat
as far on given shot, but under pres
sure there are few who can equal Jones
day in and day out. &

Denial Is Made That Mayor

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January 14.-For
nj the next two or three months
NJ at least the destinies of Madi-
i son Square Garden will be in
the hands Of a trio that in
cludes William F. Carey, Col. John s.
Hammond and Tom McArdle. This has
been made clear by Richard F. Hoyt,
chairman of the board of the Garden
corporation.
The responsibilities Tex Richard laid
down In death will be distributed
among Carey, first vice president and
treasurer Of the corporation; Hammond,
a vice president and acting general
manager, and McArdle, matchmaker.
On the eve Of his departure on q
cruise Of more than month Hoyt out
lined the situation at the Garden as
he and his associates saw 1t.
"The men in charge now are perfect
1y capable Of handling the business"
he declared. Carey, Hammond and
McArdle constitute combination
which is satisfactory from every stand
point, and regardless of the reports cir
culated since the death of Mr.. Richard.
no change Is contemplated in the Or
tuted. It Is only a matter Of loyalty
that we give the men in control now
a chance to direct affairs.
Good Business Men.
"Both Mr.. Carey and Col Hammond
are good business men and Tom Nc
Ardle Is there to advise them with re-
spect to boxing. Carey built the Gar
den and had been associated with Mr..
Richard over a stretch of years. which
afforded him ample time to familiarize
himself with the direction Of the busi-
ness.
Personally see no reason for ever
changing the management as it now
stands. Certainly nothing will be done
for two or three months. Many names
have been discussed as eligibles for the
vacated post of Richard, but so far as I
know no particular name is under con-
sideration. doubt II any change will
be made"
If. there Is any definite plan to engage
Mayor James ]. Walker for the post,
Hoyt said he knew nothing Of it.
His name is just one Of 500 or 20
mentioned as likely successors to Mr..
Richard" Hoyt said with smile.
