shown in the sketch. Now
to get it there doesn't require
a great twisting and turning
of the body, but it does re-
quire some. If you lift your
hands and arms directly up
ward there is very little, if
any, body turning, or pivot.
Such a back swing causes you
to swing the club from out
side the direction line inwardly.
This drags the club across the
ball and causes q slice. A
simple method to promote good
turning is to reach your left
hand toward your right shoul-
der without, of course, break
ing the left elbow.

FRED READY.
TO PITCH
AGAIN
BY GARRETT WATERS

Whenever Pitcher Fred Mar
berry is available the washington
hurting situation always takes on
a comforting outlook. In other
words Big Fred is once more
ready after a period of inactivity
due to an injury to his leg.
Fred is going to be q big
help to us right now" says
Manager Walter johnson,
Especially since it's almost
incOnceivable to figure that our
present five starters will be
able to finish every time out.
I'm not planning to start him
just yet, but will ease him back
into the picture by working
him in relief roles when it be-
comes necessary. And then
when one of the regulars fall
out Of line, which one may do,
Fred will take his place."
1t really is a good thing to see
Marberry back into the order Of
things rarin' to go. All because
the big pitcher can step in there
at any time and start or save
a game, it doesn't matter.
Fred Hurled Well
Marberry made his first ap-
pearance in about hree weeks
yesterday against the Cleveland
Indians. He had his speed ball
literally burning over the plate
while his curve worked nicely.
Incidentally when he stepped
into the picture it marked the
first time in 10 games that Man
ager Walter johnson has had to
call upon a relief finger, so
steadily have Walters pitchers
come through in their starting
roles.
Sad Sam Jones was just not
himself when everything is con-
Sidered. The veteran looked as
if another days rest would have
fit him right to win as every.
thing he hurled plateward was
hit in all directions in the fifth
inning. his last before Marberry'S
appearance.
Will Help Morale
However. Jonsey should be all
right by his next turn, Is the
thought. In the meanwhile Mar
berry's return to activity will
help the morale of things. with
the going getting warmer every
minute.
Lloyd Lefty Brown, who
hurled a three-hit game on his
last time out, will toe the slab
against the Cleveland Indians
today. The Griffs will be out
to make it their sixth straight.
A half a game was gained on
the Philadelphia Athletics by yes
terday's triumph. Connie Mack's
men idled because of rain and as
a result are leading the Griffmen
by only four and one-half games
today.
If the AS could only lose to
st. Louis today while the Griffs
were making it two straight over
the Indians. boy, wouldn't that
just be lovely? Something like
this should happen every once
in awhile. 1t certainly would
help things.

Circumstances of the jailing of
Senor Adolfo Dominguez, acting
Mexican consul in Chicago, for
contempt of court were being in
veStigated today by a representa-
tive of Gov. Louis L. EmmerSon.
The governor said the report
was expected Immediately and
would be forwarded to the State

Dominguez was released on a
writ of habeas corpus after serv-
ing four hours of a six months
sentence given by Municipal Judge
Thomas A. Green.
The judge insists that the con-
sui interrupted his court and de-
fled him to send him to Jail. The
conSulS lawyer, T. r. Baker. de-
clareS Dominguez was sentenced
unjustly after the judge had
poured forth a TRADE against
the consul and Mexican govern
ment.
United States Attorney George
E. Q. Johnson offerd his assist
ance to the Mexican consul and
assigned an assistant, Joseph A.
Struett, to cooperate with Do

he did this without instructions
from Washington and that it
