DeirOiter in Analysing It's Chances.

Hadley shut-out Detroit with two hits
that afternoon.
"Hadley should win IS games in q
season." declared johnson as I sat
with him q few nights ago. This
year, he may. He sisfworking hard, is
getting into shape and Is different
man than he was last Spring. If he
wins that many ball games we are go
ing to have something to say about
where the world series will be played.
I'm Liska we have young fellow who
is very likely to be great pitcher not
two years from now but this year. We
have Sam Jones, Marberry, Burke
and by the way, Burke is a young left
handler who is getting better all the
time-Braxton and a number of others
who do not need much to make them
rank high in the percentages.
I'm Bluege, Cronin, Hayes and Judge
we have fine defense infield, while
our outfield is nothing to be ashamed
Of Behind the bat we have Ruel and
Tate as regulars and they team into
one of the best catching STATS in the
American League. All we need to be
up there is a little more batting
strength. Perhaps we will find it. !

Today's Golf Lesson.


ONE great mistake the average golfer
~ makes is to figure that he has to
glare at the ball as if it were the
head of a rattlesnake or cobra.
1t has been shown that it isn't neceS-
sary to see the ball in order to make a
good shot. But it is necessary to keep
the head from popping up, because that
upsets the entire balance of the swing.
An uplifted head Is largely matter
of proof that tension and tightness con-
trolled the body and arms and that
the swing was not smoothly made.
Yet 1t is absolutely important to have
the hands and clubhead swing past the
chin or the eyes before they turn to
the direction of fiight-to the left for
right-handed player. II the chin or
eyes or head should happen to swing
too soon to the left, 1t will be just too
bad. For when that happens the down
swing breaks up into a number of pieces
and neither power nor control is left.
The punch goes from the hands and
the speed slips away from the club head.
Whoever wrote ST Didn't Raise My
Head to Be a Golfer" sang one of the
most truthful of all tunes. Watch any
good pro or good amateur and notice
how he whips the club head through
the ball before the head is raised or
the chin is lifted. And when he doesn't
he viii hub one also, even as you and /.
Try to unlock the neck and body
and that may help. The head must be
the anchor to the swing, but it isn't
an anchor moving with the tide. 1t
Is merely supposed to keep its place
and let the hands and arms swing the
clubhead without any final and wreck
ing interruption.
But before this can happen there
must be body balance and swinging
smoothness.

The Years Keep On.
TINE VETERAN base ball fan,
turning possibly for the first
time to news Of training camps
and exhibition games, saw where
Walsh worked out few innings. In
fact, he read where two washes worked
out. This seemed tor be reasonable, be-
cause Walsh used to do the work of two
or three pitchers. One year he worked
in Sc games and either won or saved
IS of them. But it wasn't the old Mer-
iden marvel the veteran fan read about.
1t was Eds two sons.
Further on the veteran fan read
where Glen Liebhardt of the Athletics
won his game when did Cleveland
trade Liebhardt?" he began to wonder
Then he suddenly discovered that the
Athletic pitcher was young Glen, not
the old-timer. The veteran fan began to
feel a trifle old. For the first time he
noticed the increasing pressure of the
years.

The preservation Of family home

more than any other effort to continue
the homecoming idea through the next

ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards in the

stories for the public.
"An. old family homestead, mellow
with beauty of age, set back from the
street, perhaps IN a flower garden, can
exert a tremendous influence In the
lives of children grown and gone out
into the world" says Mr.. Nelson. TO
begin with the continuance OF the
family homestead can hold the family
together. If the home Is still there,
and one or both of the parents are Ivy
ing in. it, the members of the family
will revisit 1t. They will get together

"They won't have chance to forget

possible. Pride and ambition ano

stili turks within its walls. The boy
or girl returning often to the old home
will get to thinking that this is the
best way to live. and will begin to save
for homes Of their own.
There are today many Of these old
structures where parents live on after
the children have grown and gone
away. You can see these houses in
every community, and I hope that
some OF them win be preserved as long
as possible. They stand with dignity
in the midst Of newer architectural
styles They are beautiful as old people
are beautiful, and all the fine principles
behind home ownership still live on
behind their doors.
"It isn't the same If mother and
father move into a city fiat. To be sure
they want to be as comfortable as pos
