FRANK HARRIS

Frank Harris, picturesque traveller poseur, racon- teur, editor and author who died Tuesday at Nice, France wrote himself into comparative poverty and selfexle from the land of his adoption.
 The author of My Life and Loves,' who was born, concdentaly enough for his romantic adventures, on St. Valentines Day, revisited America only once after he went abroad in 1922 to write the frank revelations of his wandering career.
 That visit was in the fall of 1928 and Harris was incognto for it's 10 weeks Pressed for moneyhe was almost always in need of funds-he to New York to sell series of sensational letters and perhaps to make lecture tour. But advice of certain lawyer friend that he might become involved with the Federal authorities the smuggling of his banned My Life and Loves" he went back to the Rlv1era.
 His last residence in America was during his editor ship of Pearsons magazine which he sold in 1922 to go to Nice to write the confessions of his biography
 He already had made reputation a rebel, icono- cast and stormy petrel of AngloAmercan literary cir ces. During the his magazine closely watched by the post office authorities and at least edition denied the mailing privilege.
 But creditors of all kinds kept him unhappy while in America until he finally retired to France In his last years he had little left but the mementoes and gifts of lifetime, immensely valuable to collectors.

Supple Wrist Action Great
Golf Essential, Jones Says

face to the point where a great deal OF
the snap Is taken out of the shot"
And then, Mr.. Willis wants to know
how I work this out
Well. to start with, the thing Ia q
matter OF timing. and 1t is dificult for
one to describe how he goes about tim
ing golf shot. The problem is to
get the face of the club around to the
ball IN such way that 1t is true to the
line OF intended flight. How to do that
Is another matter
Mr.. Willis was certainly right to dis
card his idea Of putting more right
hand into the shot. The club face can
be closed or brought around with the
left hand just as we'll as with the right
and l suppose right hands have spoiled
more shots than anything else
The best suggestion I can make in the
light of my own experience is to try a
more supple wrist action. I find th1t
because my wrists have been more or
less wooden so that have lost the feel
of clubhead. II the wrists are cooked
generously at the top of tho swing the
head of the club has a definite location;
1t can be felt, and the full cock of the
wrists causes them to be used en-
phatically in striking the ball.
I do not believe in closing the face
OF the club going back. I like an iron
club which turns its toe in toward the
ball bit, but I allow IL to open quite
bit on tine backSwing I think 10
will be found that II the left wrist as
we'll as the left arm Is used decisively
in hitting. the face Of the club will
close quickly enough.

EASTERN MAY GAIN
4TH TITLE IN ROW
Ties Central With Win Over
Tech-KeIIy Also Shining
as Track Mentor.

TOR the fourth season in a row
r. Easterns base ball team, coached
by Charles NJ. (ChieD Guyon,
looms as probable winner of the
public high school championship. The
Light Blue today is tied with Central
for the series lead with two wins in as
many starts, following it's 80 thirteen
inning win yesterday over desperately
struggling Tech team. Eastern now
must yanquish Central next Tuesday
and Western May IL to assure itself Of
the title.
The Lincoln Parkers may have a
tough time winning these games, par
ticularly that with Central, but they
are generally expected to turn the trick.
This business OF coaching champion
ship teams is nothing new 10 Guyon.
The popular chief time and again has
led combinations wearing the Light
Blue to victory in various sports. Since
he came to Eastern in 1920, when 1t was
located at Seventh street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast, he has much
of the time coached all four of the
major sports squads. His record in base
ball has been nothing short of brilliant.
In fact. since 1924, when Central bagged
diamond honors, Eastern's nine has
triumphed every season save 1927. Tech
was awarded the title that year by the
principals. Guyon also has handled
basket ball and foot ball in fine style.
His teams have won or shared the court
title several times in recent years. Prior
to the appointment Of Mike Kelley as
foot ball coach in 1923 the Chief
directed the gridders in highly sue
cessful manner.
Guyon now coaches basket ball and
base ball
In recognition Of his long and faithful
service the Chief recently was honored
by the Alumni Association, which pre-
sented him an easy chair. Doubtless
he finds this welcome at night after the
toll he puts in with the athletic squads.
Is a Real Battle.
TECH gave Eastern its toughest
i fight since 1929 before succumb-
ing yesterday The Lincoln Park
ers were figured to win more or less
handily but Mckinley, with Everett
Russell pitching, gave 'em rousing
fight all the way Russell held the
vaunted Eastern sluggers to six hits
Meanwhile, Big Bill Noone, basket ball
ace. also was showing his worth as a
pitcher for the Light Blue. 1t was the
tightest game the high school series
has produced since 1929.
After Eastern scored its three runs
in the third after two outs, 1t was un-
able to get another tally across. Tech
counted run in the fourth and added
another in the sixth. The Gray had
good scoring opportunities in the eighth
and ninth but Noone contrived to pull
out unscathed In each instance.
Singles by Calevas. McAboy and Tay-
lor and double by Kessler brought
Eastern its three runs. Techs marker
in the fourth came when English, who
walked. scored on Nau's single. An
other hit by Nau, along with a one
base shot by Benner and Crenshaws
double, brought Techs other tally.

BY BOBBY JONES,

American Open. British Open. American
Amateur and British Amateur Champion.
r HAVE just received most inter
esting letter from golf enthusi-
asst who had read my article on
the hands and wrists in the April
issue Of the American Golfer. The
writer of this letter is evidently an in
telligent student of the game and had
apparently worked out for himself the
same use OF the hands and wrists which
described. 1 was very much inter-
ested in reading his description OF the
troubles he had encountered and how
he had tried to overcome them. Many
people have told me, and my own ex-
perience bears this out. that any con-
scious, concerted application Of force
by the right arm or wrist on the down.
swing inevitably produces distorted re-
suits
Il think Mr.. Willis might have said
the same thing of any conscious appli-
cation of force by the right arm or wrist
anywhere in the stroke.)
But he goes on:
An alternative is TO shut the face Of
the club slightly on the backswing in
order to counteract the effect of the
hands leading too much. BY doing this
one can still retain control by continu-
ing to apply the left-arm-drive prin-
ciple without any forced intervention OF
the right; here, however. the difficulty
in my own case has been that sooner
or later find myself closing the clubs

Get Good, Easy Swing and Stick to 1t,
Pick Up All Tricks You Can From Others"
Is Advice of Johnny Farrell to Golfers
BY JOHNNY FARRELL
(Ftrmer American Open Champion
As Told to ALAN GOULD.

BY JOHNNY FAhhELL
(Fcrn,er American Open Champion
As Told to ALAN GOULD.
No. IA Cocky Kid.
7 HAD a pretty good swing as kid
golfer, for a skinny young Irish
man who didn't know much
about the game.
1 listened to Tom Kerrigan at
Siwanoy, where I caddied and
worked in the shop before becoming
an assistant pro. 1 listened to my
older brother Jim, but secretly I
thought I knew as much about golf
as they did. wasn't impressed by
much but myself in those days.
If there is anything out of my
experience worth passing on now to
younger golfers, it is this:
Don't be too cocky. Listen to
the older fellows. Pick up all the
tricks of the game you can. Don't
practice too long at time. but get
a good, easy swing and sick to it.
l wasn't overly strong at first, es-
pecially when 1t came to these 72-
hole tournaments. AS result, an
other thing have learned is the
value of proper conditioning, dieting
and relaxation during a tournament.
For years it looked as though I
never would break through in the
open. Several times felt I was
ready. but failed.
l missed my greatest chance in
1925 at Worcester. After q SO in
the third round. I was tied with
Willie Macfarlane and leading Jones
by 8 strokes. I felt sure l could
beat Willie and so did most every
one else. They began to congratu-
late me before the final round and
asked what would do as cham
pion.
1t was fatal. I took bad 78, so
did Willie, and Jones shot "a to
tie Macfarlane, who won the play
off.
After two more years of finishing
close, the 1928 tournament came
along and won when l least ex-
pected to. I played the first two
rounds with Jones and trailed him
by Z strokes. The pairings we're
changed, and nobody paid any more
attention to me-
