quarterly earnings statement, showing
net Of $1.72 a share on the basis of

higher tension-that seems to lock ever

There is also a strong tendency
toudrds stiffness or tension in
playing brassie shot from q
close He-dnd long iron into
cross 1rind The pfuot, or body
turn, is usually reduced in these
ttCo cases. the back StUin0 is re-
Stricted or shortened, and the
head is rarely held in place.
These are two shots that cry loudly
for smoothneSS and ease, for they de.
mand accurate swinging.
In the case of the brassie shot from
a close lie one must hit down smore
upon the ball-where the tendency o.
temptation is to hit it up-almost an
impossibility.
When it comes to playing a short
just off the green, the main mistake is
frightened grip and frightened wrists
have seen no one play this shot better
than Harry Vardon once did
THE basis of this stroke,s he
told me later, els a somewhat
lighter grip and flexible wrists.
You must let the clubhead do
most Of the work. Start the
back swing lazily and let the
clubhead fall naturally. The
grip must be firm, but there Is
nothing viselike about it.
BE sure also to take the blade Of the
mashie or mashie niblick back far
enough. Most golfers shorten up this
stroke too much. And then they
merely jab or poke at the ball."
The Hardest Cure.
TOR the average golfer-for 80
l.. or more per cent of the mil
lions who play-the hardest
cure in golf involves the slice. The
professional or the star amateur
may have more trouble with q
hook or a pull.
This is easier to handle. One ef-
fective method is to address the ball
in the heel Of the club and think of
hitting with the heel.
Another is to open up the face of the
club to a greater degree.
But there are many more
angles connected with q bad
slice. 1t may result from any
number OF faults. One chief
cause IS lifting the club NTH
the right h1nd-tdking the club
back ,Dtth the right hand in
control.
This causes one to swing the riaht
shoulder around-outside the line of
flight.
One helpful remedy Is to be sure to
start the back swing and the down
stroke with the left hand and arm-to
swing the club inside the line of flight
and aim at target to the right of the
course-to have mental picture of hit
ting the ball away from you.
The cooked left wrist at the top Of
the swing Will also be help, especially
wnen the lett shoulder and left hip are
allowed to turn sufficiently and are not
held locked.

YANK HOPES FADE
AS SEASON SHR|NKS
Must Take Series to Stay in
! Race-Chapman Off to
Unhappy Start.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

n yEW YORK. August 7.-An
n even break in the four
Y game series with the
Yankees that was to get
under way this afternoon with a
double-header, and the Nationals
will consider this invasion OF New
York satisfactory.
While a better record for the
set would be highly gratifying, OF
course, the league leaders feel
that emerging from the series as
they start it-three games up on
their arch-rivals-they would be
moro advantageously situated
than indicated by the mathe-
matical difference between the
first and second clubs in the
American League race.
This is much more crucial series
for the Yankees than the Nationals
Unless they can inflict some real damage
on the Capital clubmen, the New York
ers will be just about eliminated from
serious consideration as championship
Chasers.
Merely breaking even in the set, the
Yanks would be worse off at the END
of the series than at the start. With
fewer games to play overcoming the
handicap set up by the Nationals
three-game advantage would be difficult
for them indeed.
Failure to cut in on the Washington
lead this time very likely would have
a serious moral effect on the Yanks
tco. 1t would sap their spirit to such
an extent, probably. that they soon
would fade from the championship
contention.
The Nationals move into the series
here with much more of an advantage
than the three-game edge over the
New Workers. An even break and they
will be tough to beat thereafter. Better
than that and Washington rooters may
as well begin rushing their world
series ticket orders TO Griffith Stadium

CrOnin Learns Lesson.

THERE will be no experimenting
with pitchers in the big series
- here, Manager Cronin promises.
He learned his lesson il Washington
yesterday when he sent raw recruit
to the hill to take over task that
Warranted the attention of veteran
from the start.
Ed Chapman, making his major
league debut against the Athletics, did
not lose the ball game in the little more
than Two rounds he pitched, but in
yielding five runs he gave them great
start toward their II to 8 victory.
After Chapman the Nationals showed
al Thomas, Jack Russell and Bob
Burke on the bill Thomas couldn' t
get his bearing until after he had
foundered through the third round, be-
gun badly by Chapman. By that time
the AS had gone so far ahead the Ma
tionals spent their all in catching them
In six innings.
Then Russell came on to take the
beating and Burke to let them make
their victory more decisive.
All tod. the AS helped themselves
to 13 hits off the quartet of Washing
ton boxnen. Chapman gave up four
and Thomas five, and between them
they gummed the game for their side.
Two of the hits were home runs.
Jimmy FoXX opened the second with his
thirty first circuit clout of the season,

Chapman'S finish.
Bob Higgins. after two were out in

into the stand back of left center.
