THE prevailing tendency to re-
gard as the only perfect golf
swing one that forces the
club-head to come into the
ball from the inside out" Is re-
garded as a fad by George Sargent,
formerly professional at Chevy
Chase, former national open cham
pion, and the man behind the idea
Of perpetuating by slow-motion pic
ture camera the swings Of Bobby
Jones, Joyce Wethered and Harry
Vardon.
I'VE have been prone" Sargent
says in the current issue of the Pro-
fessional Golfer, Official organ Of
the Professional Golfers Association
OF America, TO 60 TO extremes In
the golf swing. One year 1t was all
the rage to do one thing; next year
the fad was almost the opposite. At
the moment there is a strong fad
being advocated that the ball must
be struck from the inside out. The
idea Is q good one; its principle Is
reasonably good, but 1t Is folly 20
swallow II hook, line and sinker TO
the exclusion of all else. People who
are advocating that method do not
mean you should actually swing very
much from the inside out, but to
try to swing that way in order to
avoid the great besetting sin in
Rolf-cutting across. In other words,
Inside out Is q condensation prin-

hands Of its owner, Is different from
all the others in the world
Can Mechanical steel provide the
equivalent? wonder.
"On the eve of the open mixed four
somes at Worpleton last year, Miss Joyce
Wethered broke her pet mashie-iron,
the club with which she played those
marvelously def and deadly little shots
from around the green up against the
hole-Side.
Twice she had the head reshafted,
but to no purpose. Nothing could re-
place that old shaft. A steel
shaft would not have broken, perhaps.
But then, could it ever have provided
such a club as Miss Wethered's old
mashie-iron?"
Harry then recalls Ted Rays famous
Der he was using in 1918 on his f1rst
tour of this country; and later. in 1920,
when he won our open championship at
Inverness Toledo.
ST never knew a driver like that one, ="
writes Harry. "Ted used it many years
so many years that at last he had to
give 1t up, because 1t became creaky.
It had four small steel bolCS run
ming through the head from the back,
finishing flush with the face; but that
was not its abiding glory. Its virtue lay
in its shaft Everybody who waggled 1t
found instant confidence in it, and
everybody who was allowed to try 1t
drove we'll.
eff Ray wanted to get home with a
very long second-shot through the green
he took this driver and he has said
that it never failed him. I think 1t
must have been the only shaft of its
kind in the world. And fancy nearly
every golfer has pet club afording q
corresponding sense of security and
pleasure. I wonder II there are such,
with steel shafts"

Old Harry Is not what you might call

that Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen

Hagen Hitting Better.

Tommy Armour told the writer some
weeks ago that Hagen was hitting his
shots far better than any time in sew
eral seasons and was in fine physical
condition. With Jones in retirement
the Haig never could play his best with
Bob on the same golf course-the old
Duke is likely to stage comeback that
will startle the golf world.
He has not won the United States
open since 1919 and that event, OF
course, will be his greatest goal, but he

John has done little or nothing since

but the fine game the black-haired
Irishman always has at his command
cannot fail much longer.
The 1881 championship season should
prove tremendously interesting with so
many brilliant golfers shooting for the
titles vacated by Bob Jones. A good
line on how the pretenders for the
championships will fare can be had
when the $4,000 Los Angeles open is
played, for the stars bear down when
that much money Is at stake.

HORTON AND MAC"
NOW CLANS STARS
Each Seems Ready to Put
Up Fine Contest for a
Major Links Crown.
- AN FRANCISCO, Calf, De.

~ AN FRANCISCO, Calf, De-
cember 23.-Smith used to
~ be a grand name in golf
when Willie and Aleck were
winning national open champion
ships, and it may come back to
the top next year, since there no
longer will be any reason for the
Smiths to fret about keeping up
with the JoneseS.
Unless all calculations go haywire
Macdonald Smith and Horton Smith
will be two Of the strongest candidates
for the United States and British open
championships that Bob Jones volun-
tarily surrendered by retirement.
It's about time young Horton Smith
broke through and won one of the two
major open championships. He has
been campaigning along the front lines
of the game for three full seasons and
improving each year. He was not Tar
behind in either the British or American
open last Summer and played some
keen golf in the P. G. A.
Veteran professionals say, after OBJ
serving Smith both on the fairways and
In slow motion pictures, that a slight
break of the left wrist at the moment
of impact is the only noticeable fault
In his game. It is likely that no one
knows better than Horton the flaws in
his game and since the young man
works diligently to perfect his play the
fault may be overcome before the next
campaign opens.
Fine Trim Now.
Horton Smith ordinarily is one of the
Straightest shooters in golf and also is
a fine putter. But he needed certain
amount of seasoning to steady his
game for the big championships and
he began to show an improvement last
Summer. Smith has been playing much
Colf with Sir Phillip Sasoon, the close
friend of the Prince of Wales, during
the past several weeks and when he
launches into the big Pacific Coast
tournaments next month he likely will
be in fine trim for the Winter CAM
paign.
Macdonald Smith. too, can be counted
on to win some of the big purses along
the trail Of golf. The Carnoustie vet
eran intends to devote the remainder
of his golfing years to playing only in
the more important championships and
instructing a few chosen pupils. His
ambition is conferred, of course, on the
British open, which will be played over
his native Carnoustie course in Scot
land.
And after that comes the United
States open at Inverness. Unless Macs
smooth game breaks perceptibly he will
be among the leaders in both of the big
championships, for with Bob Jones gone
there is no other player who can COM
pare with Smith for smoothness OF
stride.
OF course, Walter Hagen may come
back to annoy the Smiths. Walter has
been out of the ltmelight too long TO
suit his tastes and pocketbook. He
finds himself without single title for
the first time in many years and such
q condition obviously must be remedied.
