The same is true of Snead. who hits

At Oakland Hills I saw Snead wade

wrists more pliable. Most golfers are
entirely too stiff in their forearms.
You can keep firm grip with fingers

will find that hand and wrist tension
usually starts from feet, legs and

Felier Needs Wrist Control.

An oLD-T1ME group began talking
about the best wrist action among
ball PLAYERS. We agreed on three at
the start--LArry ajole, Frank Schultz
and Joe Jackson. All three were looser
than ashes. Schultz was on the
slchter. slender side. and yet he hit
more than 20 home runs one season
with the deader ball. Jackson was the
best all-around hitter who ever lived.
I saw him scoop up low curve one
day from just above the dirt in front
of the plate and lift it over the flags
hving above the grandstand roof Of
The Polo Grounds-out into the street
beyond.
Tris Speaker was another who had
fne wrist action. So did Babe Ruth
But Joe Jackson was the top in this
respect. Iajoie. Jackson and Schultz
all gave you the impression of being
completely relaxed at the plate
When Bob Feller gets his wrist ac-
tion working under better control he
will be even harder to hit At the age
Of la he naturally is on the tense side.
He uses too much extra effort in his
pitching, and this beyond any argu-
ment brought about his lame arm.
This also accounts for most of his
wild streaks. which he will correct in

arm. He will find this better wrist
srtion through a more relaxed body
and A calmer mental state.

admits he Is not as good a PLAYER on
turf courts as on clay, but he has

Must BE Physically Relaxed.

K MUTE RoCKNE used to say to his
team: Il want you mentally keen,
but physically relaxed" This is
tough order. Those mentally keyed
up are also physically keyed up most
oH the time. Yet most OF the stars
follow the Rockne idea. There is
big difference between being keen or
alert-and over-anxious or over-eager.
Mental attitude has lot to do with
physical action in any sport. Rocknes
ideal OF the mentally alert, but physi-
eally relaxed, was George Gipp, who
was not even halfway tense when
throwing passes back of his own goal
line
When it comes to wrist action in
golf, I doubt that any one had an
edge over Commodore Bryan Heard Of
DHllas. The commodore Is wiry
Texan who never swung at a golf
ball until he was 48 years old. Yet
he shot his age in golf from 65 to
