punch at least or 10 inches on the
short side of the ball.
To reach any improvement, the golf
er must think more in terms of correct
swinging and not SO much in terms of
results, which leads to steering the
ball, or attempting this almost impos
sible job. The correct method of
swinging should be attempted, regard
less of bunkers to the right and left
or bunkers in front. 1t is almost i'm
possible to keep ones mind on the right
way of swinging when ones mind is
on a bunker to the right, an out of
bounds to the left, or a pond in front.
THE mental side of the golf swing
L is terrifically important, and yet it
is given little attention. How many
golfers, as they address the ball,
think of the few fundamentals needed
the smooth back swing, starting the
swing with the left hand wrist and
arm, letting the left side turn, or cock
ing the left wrist? Yet these details
will not take care Of themselves. They
must be given the necessary thought
and care. or they will not take place.
No golf swing handles itself auto
matically-not even the golf swing of
a Bobby Jones, a Mac Smith or a
Tommy Armour.
This mental application concerning
the few essentials is vital, and yet is
overlooked by more than 80 per cent
of golfers, who rarely have any mental
pattern of what they want to do This
matter of correct thinking in golf can
be made a habit, and unless it is made
habit it will rarely take place. 1t
shouldn't be difficult to think of two
or three fundamentals in advance, such
as those mentioned, and then start the
back swing with this picture in your
mind

IN 1LOX1, Miss, March T.
K With only four members Of
L. the team now absent, Clark
Griffith ordered the Ma
tional machine geared in high
this morning as the flock went
into the third week of drilling for
the batterymen and the first and
second for most of the fielderS.
While there are but four men now
out, three of this outfit we're due to ar
rive today. They are Heinie Manush
who may or may not be holdout; Joe
Cronin, said to have agreed to terms
by mail, and Johnny Kerr, late of the
Chicago White Sox, who has fixed his
signature to contract and is therefore
just an arrival when he gets here.
Last nights train brought in three
regulars and a rookie. The vets ar
irving were Joe Kuhel, the Kansas City
boy, who wants to make good once
more at the initial sack; Joe Judge, the
old-timer, who hopes to fight it out
with the youngster for his old berth,
and Ossie Bluege. The fledgling in the
hock was Ralph Boyle, slated to battle
with Dave Harris for the outfield utility
role.
MANUSH'S absence is marked with
~ keen interest. 1t is believed the
vet, who failed to have one of
those big years at bat last season, is
holding out for what he wants with a
little more than the usual patience.
However, the feeling prevails that
Heinie will be along with the rest of the
boys some time this afternoon and that
ne Will come down with pen in hand

Idle moment in the camp, according
to Griffith. He wants to see the boys

threatening to do when let loose. The
boss hopes they will work up to nice,

beginning next Sunday.

Griffith. Maybe there is no particular
reason for our being in such scrap
py mood. 1t might be just one of
those years when the boys start click
ing as a crowd before the bell rings
and keep it up after the fight really

With virtually all his force in camp
by tomorrow, Griffiths worries will all
be in having the boys reach form as a
team. His financial chickering's with the
players have been slight. Some smoke
here and there, but Griffith and his
charges are on too friendly standing

II seems too bad in view of
this that Dutch Bergman and
Dorsey Griffith should have

with a deficit when a final
checls-up of outlay and intake

But the authorities at Brook

the presence of Paavo Nurmi
or a Joie Ray.
Opening Game Seats.
A THOUGH the start of the
n American League campaign
still is more than a month
away, local headquarters al
ready is busy allotting seats
for the inaugural.
Judged by the number of
requests for tickets already on
file at the ball park, there will
be little evidence of depression
when President Hoover uncorks
his customary wild pitch to
send the Nationals into action
against the Boston Red SoX on
April II, one day ahead of the
remainder of the field.
Choice reservations for the
opener still are available, but

Tales of a Wayside Tee.

~ NE great fallacy, which the
average golfer steps into. is
that most of the stars have
different swings and different
methods. Few of them hit the ball the
same way. So why bother with any
set of definite style or form
The fact is that while many of the
stars may have swings that look to be
different all of them follow certain
fundamentals that are necessary TO
prevent the golfer from wandering all
over the landscape, looking for lost
balls
We might offer few samples:
Every good golfer starts the club
back with his left hand and left
arm
Every good golfer lets the left side
turn or pivot.
Every good golfer uses a left arm
that is straight or at least fairly SO.
Every good golfer cocks the left wrist
at the top of the swing
Every good golfer let's the left arm
and hand dominate the start of the
down swing
There is no attempt to uncock the
wrist too soon, or to hit too soon.
In the case of every good golfer the
head is used as anchor to the swing
with the chin pointing at or back of
the ball as it is hit.
Every good golfer has the left hip
out of the way, surging slightly for
ward, about the time the down swing
starts.
NN the contrary: No good golfer
~ lifts the club up or back with the
right hand.
No good golfer swings his right side
around, as so many buffers dc.
No good golfer keeps lifting his head
lust as the ball is hit, or just before.
No coed golfer lets the right hand
dominate the down swing from the
start.
Base ball swings can be almost totally
unalike. Take the two contrasting
methods of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb.
Ruth holds the bat at the far enc,
stands with the back of his right shoul-
der rNfacing the pitcher, and take a full
clout at the ball.
Cobb choked up the bat with his
hands well apart, not close together.
He had more Of stiff arm punch
not a full swing
In golf the two hands must always
be held together with the overlapping
VI lOthAl6 vi OIO v
are never placed apart.
NNE great trouble with the average
~ golfer is the absence of fiexibility
in body, arms, hands and wrists.
When he picks up a golf club and takes
his stance every muscle in his system
seems to tighten up
This prevents any form of smooth
ness in the swing. 1t is almost certain
to start the back swing jerkily or at
least stif1y-it is almost certain to
leave the back swing unfinished as the
down swing Starts-it is almost certain
to prevent any flexible cooking of the
left wrist-it is almost certain to bring
about a sudden lifting of the head,
thereby wrecking the swing.
The average golfer, facing new sea-
son in the hope of better scoring, must
concentrate on at least few correc-
tions of old faults.
He must get it into his head that the
| golf swing is not mixture of violent
| heaves-sudden jerks-and body lunges.
| He must understand that it is what
Alex Morrison calls "a smooth, flowing
motion" without being hurried or with
out any idea of extra effort. Flexible
hands and wrists give the club head its
chance to gather speed onto the ball,
| where in the average case most of the
club heads speed<is used up before the
ball Is ever touched. It Is surprising
