How Johnny Farrell
Takes His Club Back
BY SOL METZGER.

There Is much bunk in golf in
struction, both written and oral.
The expressions timing" and get
ting the body" into the shot are
examples. I doubt II any one can
describe clearly what timing is. It's
a fine sounding word that takes the
place of coordination. The latter
describes the swing to a ct" It
means that all your movements must
be in harmonious relation to each
other.
You don't hit a golf ball. You do
hit through 1t. Mumbling some
cadence to yourself as you swing
may help you to coordinate. But a
better plan is to visualize the swing
and then learn not to overdo 1t.
Forget getting the body into the
swing. The hands do the Job of

TN the second round Of the tourna-
ment. held at the City Club, for
the title of District champion,
Byler was pitted against Bettinger.
Bettinger had the first move and played
what is known as the English opening.
Byler appeared to be familiar with this
game and. playing ageressively, won in
80 moves. This was his second consec-
utive win and placed him in first place.
Bishop and Knapp. both of whom
had won in the first round, were paired
in the second round. They played
cautiously and were content with a
draw, which placed them in a tie for
second place, a half game behind Byler.
Carl HesSe, who had lost to Knapp in
the first round, took his revenge in the
second round on young Wimstatt. who
was not equal to Carts dashing attack.
Wimstatt played Sicilian defense and
Inst in 81 moves.
A. Y. Hesse was opposed by Walker,
who had first move. The opening was
irregular The game was well fought
and developed some unusual chess. It
took two evenings, over six hours, TO
finish It. In the first evenings play
Walker sacrificed a rock for bishop and
pawn, and later won another pawn. At
the adjournment Hesse had rock, bishop
and three pawns against two bishops
and five pawns.
At the second sitting walker manip-
ulated his bishops SO that the rock was
practically useless and was finally sur
rendered for q bishop. After so moves
Walker announced mate five moves and
demonstrated It. This put him in tie
with Carl HeSse for fourth place, one
game behind Byler. Bettinger and
Wimstatt are tied for sixth place, with
/: point each, and A. Y. Hesse has lost
two games.
