BY BOBBY JONES,

American Open, British Open and Amer
lean Amateur Champion.
TT seems to me that q good many
u average golfers overlook entirely
the fact that there Is very def
mite purpose to be accomplished by
the backswing. On any golf course on
any day you may see players who snatch
the club back, or draw It back. or lift
1t back, but you rarely see one who
actually swings It back. They think
hard enough about how they hit the
ball, but they don't give much atten-
ton to the rather necessary matter Of
getting into position 80 that they can
hit properly.
We all have heard Of the importance
Of slow backswing. So has the aver
age golfer. But it is possible to find
good many examples demonstrating that
SLOW" Is the only thought In the mind
Of the owner of the swing when he is
taking the club back. He will lift the
club up painfully and so slowly that
both he and you will hold your breath
in tense expectancy. And the blow
falls. Having gone back what he thinks
is q proper distance, the poor man lit
orally jumps at the ball-and usually
dashes his club into the ground be-
hind 1t.
Now, we call the complete act Of hit
ting q golf ball q swing. and we give
the name Of backswtng to that part of
the motion which takes the club from
the position of address to the top Of
the swing. I think the swing" part
of these terms ought to be UNDERSIGNED.
at least IN the mind of the player.
There is no other word which so nobly
signifies what the thing ought to be
not q snatch. or jerk or even Q freak
Of slow motion. but swing-easy. COM
Portable, unhurried. smooth, and yet not
slowed down TO the point of absurity.

But the real kick Of the tournament
came to Bill Jones of Congressional on
the seventh hole. He was walking OF
the seventh green after putting out and
behind him, 100 yards down the fair
way, he saw q player nonchalantly
take q maShie from his bag, stroke the
ball and knock it in the hole for an
eagle 2. As the player walked onto the
Bill rushed over and said "Congrautla-
tions. I know you are going to win
the medal" The player smiled and
said nothing. But Bin is . persistent
fellow. He locked at the scoreboard
after the round was finished and noted
that C.. w. Stoddard Of Beaver Dam,
the gent who had made the on the
seventh, had scored 81 and would not
qualify. But I'm sure he Is the only
man to get an eagle on the seventh
hole" Bill said.

Quite q flock Of folks watched Billy
Howell play yesterday and saw the nom

but he came through In fine shape,
Notwithstanding q trio Of 3-putt green's.

Is important, but the player has little
chance to place himself in proper one.
His only chance Is to swing into 1t.
There can be no question that one Of
the things which worries the average
player Is his fear of swinging back too
far. A number of earnest golfers have
asked me to suggest a way to prevent or
stop ioverswinging. tell them all that
don't think any backswing Is too long
which Is not consciously stretched.
Some swings are too loose and flabby,
1t Is true, but I have never seen q
swing which needed to be hauled in.
In my own case, for instance, my
backswing goes noticeably past the
horizontal position at the top-even in
playing an iron club normally without
forcing 1t, and never get into trouble
because I take the club back too far.
On the contrary, my concern Is always
that do not stop 1t too soon, for then
am likely to snatch it down and lose
the control OF an evenly accelerated
stroke.
A long backswing gives plenty of time
for gathering speed before striking the
ball. Starting from full top position,
1t Is never necessary to hurry the down.
swing and there is an opportunity for
a change of direction at the top of the
swing in a manner which will not dis
turb the balance or make necessary the
least abnormal effort. And coming
down, II the swing has been long
enough, the player realizes that he need
not be in any hurry to start hitting
This is precisely the reason that the
average spectator marvels at the ease
with which the expert attains prodi-
giouS distances. why he doesn't hit
the ball any harder than do" OF
course. he hits it harder than you do.
Golf balls play no favorites and II he
didn't hit them harder they wouldn't
travel any farther But the swing Of
the expert is free from the spasmodic
effort Of hitting which Is characteristic
of the method Of the dub. He gives
himself plenty of room and he spreads
his effort over greater range.

Bill Tilden's Nephew Is Seen
AS Coming Star i'm Net Ranks

In the realm of amateur team games
few realize how insidiously the profess
stonal foot ball elevenS are advancing in
the science Of the gridiron game Right
now, or at least last fall It was an ex-
tremely dubious question whether the
very best of the college elevens could
have matched such OUTFITS as the Green
Bay packers and the Giants. Already
intercollegiate hockey has been backed
OF the board in respect to popularity by
the commercialized game and we shall
shortly see professional lacrosse ut q
time when the amatur game was begin
ming to take firm root in this country.
It Is a dollar age in sport as in every
thing else. Amateur sport will 90 on,
Of course, but the immediate future will
see its progress unattended by the great
who used so infallibly to draw the roar
Of the crowd and to monopolize the
headlines in the sporting pages. Hero
worshiperS will regret this, will seek
their idols in whatever mercenary fields
they may have entered. But those who
are keen for the game when 1t Is played
very largely. If not entirely. for its own
sake constitute a body in this country
sufficiently large to safeguard amateur
ism, to insure 1t permanence.
And 1t Is foregone that as time goes
on the places Of those great luminaries
who have made the amateur armament
brilliant will be replaced by other OUT
standing performers almost II not quite,
as potent in their generation as their
predecessors were In theirs. All that Is
necessary is to be patient, while In the
meantime we give our applause to those
who, although not Tildens or Bobby
Jones, display none the less dexter
ity that ordinary persons cannot emu.
late and q skill they cannot attain.
A comparison Of Tilden and Bobby
Jones is really q comparison between
the game Of tennis and the game Of
golf. Tilden fires the spectators with his
1.-the abandon, his free stroking, amuses
or irritates-it does not matter which
when it comes to drawing poverty his
colorful idiosyncrasies. Bobby Jones
compels a quiet admiration for his
rhythmic grace in action, his natural
flnicking dizziness, his minute attention
to detail. The crowd yellS for-or at
Tilden. It follows the gifted Albanian
In silent worship punctuated by digni-
fed hand-clapping.
