It's All a Theory.

"0F COURSE, it's all more or less
theory, but it seems to me that
the man who can reach out comfort
ably to the ball without bending his
body or his neck has an edge on the
tall fellows. I'm fairly tall myself
and I know that I have to do lot
of twisting around to keep all the
parts Of my swing in gear. And envy
the shorter men who can stand up to
that ball without twisting themselves
around so much. Fred Mcleod is
another example of the shorter man
who stands straight up to the ball.
So is Bob Barnett. They may not
have the long swing of the bigger
man and they may not get so much
distance, but they are likely to be
steadier than the long, lean fellows"

Jones an Outstanding Example.


"THE shorter man, who doesn't have
to lean far over the ball. also
doesn't have to bend his neck down
to the ball. I think that has lot
to do with steadiness and accuracy on
the long shots. Where the tall man
has to bend his neck to keep his eyes
focused on the ball the shorter man
can do it all without bending his neck.
His pivot takes care of the turn with
out bending the neck. OF course, Bob
Jones is the outstanding example of
the shorter man who made a great
record at golf. Bob stood up fairly
straight to the ball with just slight
bend at the knees. But he didn't have
to stretch or bend his neck to see the
pill. He was always in hitting posi-
ton without bending like a contor-
zionist. And if you will go over the
list of great champions you probably
won't find many really tall men
among them. Jim Barnes was one of
the finest of the tall men. Jim stands
around 6 feet 2 inches and he has to
lean over the ball good DEAL He
was a great golfer Is years ago; still
is, but he practically has given up
competition. Horton Smith is another.

LEANING TO BALL
DULLS ACCURACY
Strong Wrists, Back, Legs
Are Ideal Combination,
Declares Pro.
BY w. z. McCALLUM.

D1 W. H. uCNAAAON.
TALL men stretching up feet
or more above a wooden tee
are not likely to be as steady
Il or so good at golf as shorter
men who don't have to reach so far
down for the ball. That's the opinion
of Roland Mackenzie, the tall young
man who holds down the pro berth
at Congressional and who will be
back in town soon to start the ball
rolling in golf at the big club out
Rockville way.
If you are of medium height and
nature has equipped you with a
husky pair of wrists, strong back
and sturdy underpinning you are
likely to go farther in golf than if
you are long and lean and above
average height, Roland thinks. And
why?
II firmly believe" says the Mac
Kenzie lad, that the closer the eye
is to the ball the better and steadier
a golfer can be- Tall men have to
lean over no matter how long club
they may use. The shorter man can
stand up to the ball without leaning
over very much. 1t brings his center
of power closer to the ball. his eyes
are closer and he doesn't have to
turn his head so much as the tall
man. really think the shorter man
is more apt to be steady than the
tall man.
