Beats Par by 28 Strokes

~ the Associated Press.
~ ARK CLUB, Buffalo, N. Y,

Il phian who usually let's his
game speak for him, borrowed
the rostrum today.
MY tee shots are getting out into

60" Shute said a. he prepared to
tackle Craig Wood In one OF the two
semi-finals for the professional golfers
championship.
But the fact that Shute has been
playing such magnificent iron shots
and holding putt after putt Is the rea-
son why the gallery has established
him as the favorite for the title which
Gene SaraEen dropped yesterday.
CHUTE has hung UP competitive
- record Of some sort by shooting
90 holes to match play in 2S
under par. The answer to that Is his
putter. IN % holes against KY Laf-
foon on Thursday he used his putter
40 times.
The Wood -shute match Is repe-
tition of their play-off for the 1888
British open championship. which
shute eventually won BY Ave strokes
In q 36-hole overtime duel. They
both scored convincing victories In tia
quarter-hnals, Wood dumping Al
Watrous of Detroit, and l, and
Shute overhauling Al Houghton Of
Washington, D. c., 9 and 5.
The other semi-final finds Paul
Runyon, top-heavy favorite over

it spent the years OF 1880 and 1891
when Billy Howell was sweeping
everything before him, "and the boys
win have hard time getting 1t away
from Hermitage" Bobby said, as he
packed 1t under his arm and headed
for home--a happy kid and q proud
one.
But the truth must be told after
all. Never since Roger Peacock
started playing good golf have ! seen
him play as badly as he played the
first nine IN the final yesterday. Roger
not only couldn't hit a tee shot, but
his putter-usually a dependable and
potent weapon-failed MIN rniserably.

against the swing In golf.
In this respect they disagree with
such notable instructors as Ernest
Jones and Alex Morrison-and with
such star players as Mac Smith,
Willie MacFarland and Paul Runyan.
Where the two former, both smart
golfers, take the wrong trail is here
the golf stroke Is largely a swing.
The backswing is all swing-the down
stroke starts as q swing-but, for the
longer players and the stronger en-
tries, there undoubtedly is an element
of hit through the finish Of the
stroke--an extra impetus, which, in
the last foot or two Is impaired by
the right hand and arm, with the
left hand and left arm still firm and

The average golfer-even the pretty
good solfer-cannot control this feel
ing OF extra effort through the Anish.
Tfe-or she--is almost certain to
put on the hitting act ahead Of
schedule-thereby wrecking all timing
and raising merry 'el with the stroke
in general, both as regards direction
and distance.
I've seen Sarazen stand almost
fiat-footed and hit No. iron from
l60 to 10 yards.
But Sarazen is powerfully built,
with tremendous strength in his
hands and wrists.
I've seen Tommy Armour use No.
4 iron where fine golfers were using
spoons or midirons.
But Armour has the greatest pair
of hands in golf-long. lean. and
made of steel. Few golfers can hope
to use their hands as Armour does.
A Matter Of Timing.
TT ALL gets back to a matter OF
timing-to that wornout word
known as rhythm.
You can time the act of swinging
but timing the hit Is another problem,
Let's talk to Macdonald Smith
with a golf stroke that has stood the
scoring and the competitive test OF
as years.
In nv opinion" Mac Smith told
me. the golf stroke Begins with the
left hand and left arm swinging the
cfubhead-the left hand and left arm
are in control as the left side turns
naturally.
From the top of che backswing
the left arm and left thand are still
in control of the downward swing
it is through the finish that the right
hand and right arm help to apply
additional power by speeding up the
stroke through impact, The main
point is not to let the right hand and
right arm get in their work too soon.
They are stronger forces swinging
forward--so they must be watched
and guarded. 1t seems to me that
every golfer should think in terms
of swinging the clubhead-not in
terms of hitting. There can oe
smoothness and rhythm in swinging
but rarely IN htunB-
Both Ernest Jones and Alex Nor
rison pick Bobby Jones as the finest
of all examples of the true swinger-
one whose free, fun body action gives
his hands and arms unchecked power
in swinging the clubhead at top speed
Nehrough the finish Of the stroke.
On the Short Side.
rF YOU watch any fine short game
player-especislly on short pitches
YOU will see that he has almost
no element of hit in his stroke.

The annual championship tourna-
ment of the western Chess Association
is in progress at Chicago with very
strong field. This tournament Is
played under what is known as the
Kirk Holland qualifying syste n. The
great London world tournament of
1851 was played under the elimination
system, and a player who lost his first
match was eliminated and could get
no prize, though in point of strength
he might be second In the tourney. In
the Chicago tournament there are
qualifying rounds for the purpose Of
grouping and sectioning; drawn games
are decided by toss. The players are
divided into four sections and each
section plays round robin tournament
for places in the masters tournament.
Under this fystem four players who
won their first two games in the pre-
hminary rounds will not qualify, while
one player who lost his first two games
will qualify. Reuben Fine, who won
the championship in the last two an
nual contests, lost his first game and
reduced his chances for qualification
to out Of 1e in the two lower sections.
I doubt If this qualifying system will
be satisfactory.
