to good many varieties of
hooked shots. A wobbly right
leg usually means the knee will
break downward in the forward
swing. 1t also permits body mo-
ton and general loss of balance.
When one is off his balance
while swinging he always tries
to recover it, and this causes
you to find yourself standing
on your right foot at the finish
of the swing. In such action
naturally there has been no fol
low-through. The action of the
club in this restriction swinging
action. has naturally been to-
ward the left of the direction
line. Hooking results. The ball
also can get the habit of going
to the left without curbing.
This might be due to gripping
too rigidly with the left, which
then offers too much resistance
to the right hand, causing the
clubhead to go through forward
of the hands. The general cure
is to keep your balance, take
your time, swing smoothly and
let the clubhead do it.

TWO HELENS LOOM
AS SEABR|GHT FOES
Mrs. Moody Flashes Strong
Service In Only Public
Match of Year.
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

YEW YORK, July AIRS.
M Helen Wills Moody sends
word that she will arrive in
the East for tournament
play about July IS. This means
that in all probability she will be
the central figure-man or girl
at the classic Seabright tourney,
which starts on July 20.
Mrs. Moody'S absence abroad in
recent years at this season has
made her appearances at Sea-
bright sporadic, and when in this
country other engagements have
from time to time prevented her
appearance in the famous
matches on the Jersey Coast.
But now the understanding is that
she will enter this tournament and in
asmuch as the American girls now at
Wimbledon, Miss Jacobs, Mrs. Harper,
Mrs. Van Ryn and the rest, will have re-
turned in time to play at Seabrlght,
Mrs. Moody will have plenty of oppor-
tunity to sharpen up her game.
Her Throne Safe.
Helen Jacobs improved play In Eu-
rope has given some zest to the out
look for meetings in this country be-
tween the champion and her sister Cali
fornian; but those who have followed
the careers of the two girls have no
feeling that Mrs Moody need do a great
deal Of worrying about her titular lau-
rels, even granting that her play this
Summer has been confined to private
games so far as singles are concerned.
In her only 0ut-and-out public ap-
pearance in California this Smnnnax
Mrs. Moody participated in an exhibition
st in mixed doubles as one of the fea-
lures Of the California State tourna-
ment. Paired with Neil Brown against
Alice Marble and Gerald Stratford
she revealed what coast critics declared
to BE- the strongest service she has ever
shown. while her backhand was extraor-
dinarilY fine.
No Issue Involved.
1t appears that the failure Of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
to send Mrs. Moody abroad TO play on
the continent and at Wimbledon this
year involved. as has been intimated,
no issue between the Berkeley girl and
the association. Precedent alone with
held the United States Lawn Tennis
Association from action
The custom Is to send American girl
players abroad with expenses paid only
in the year when our Wightman Gun
team goes to England to meet the Brit
ish girls. The British associa ton follows
the same policy. So, for example, when
the American team went abroad last
year no British girls we're sent here
for subsequent play. True, Miss Betty
Nuthall came over and, incidentally,
won the American singles title: but she
came over on her own, Just as Helen ia
cobs and Mrs. Harper are now abroad
on their own
1t Is interesting to note that John
Doeg will compete in the national sin
giles. as defender of his 1880 title. He
is not yet in form for important
matches; but always he has been ey-
tremely slow in coming to his peak and
the chances are that by September he
will be prepared to give a good account
of himself.

Pathways on the new course were bet

considering the dry period when the
grass was starting last Fall. and the
green's were keen and perfectly shorn.
These greens are pretty" inasmuch as
the approach from the fairways Is per-
feet yet an ounce of extra pressure and
the ball finds itself in a sand trap in
the rear, with side traps to catch an
Grant shot. Two elevated tees on
the fourth and sixth holes add some
what TO the level contour OF the course.
Golfers are going to find some dis
coursgements in deceptive distances,
according TO the early birds who opened
the new course. Waving trees, ripping
water and elevated tees on two shots
impress the golfer with miraged dis
tances. And on the first two holes. par

their slices, for slight hook will land
the ball in the Anacostia River.
