what Goldie should do, but it did
know what it would do.
Blaustein and Nedomatsky we're
summoned for another examine
ton Of the injured hand, with
commission doctors Gilbert Often

examination.
They came out of their huddle
with the decision that Nedomat-
sky's hand was still badly swollen,
had not responded to treatment
and probably would not respond
sufficiently between now and
Monday to permit him to give a
good account Of himself against

Nedomatsky was forthwith ex-

Amazing Story

Mrs. r. E. Joyce, whose hus-
band is with the Bureau of
Mines, is equally keen on his in
struction. She told an amazing
story of having started out by
going around in 100. She took
one lesson with Witty and
brought 1t down to 106; she took
yet another lesson from Mr.. Cox
and broke 100.
Witty does a little philoSophiz-
ing on the side, too. He has fig
ured out why golf is the most
popular feminine sport around
the Capital, or anywhere for
that matter. It's the one game
where, barring tournaments, the
players outnumber the specta-
tors. No woman enjoys sitting
on the SidelineS all the time.

"Jacobus moved my hands

think this is where most play
erS go wrong. They aren't
braced properly when the hit is
made.
However, it is quite necessary
to hold the head still and not
move it up and down or sway it
toward the right as so many do.
In taking the club back many
golfers let their heads get out of
position, with the result that
they hit with their bodies and
not with their hands. Keeping
the head still throughout the
swing is bound to help anybody's
game.
ITO play golf well you must

you aren't sure the bail is going

panicky.
BAD GRIP COMMON FAULT
1.-THE best thing to do in g
situation like that is to stop
and think it over and above all,
hit easily. Be sure the head is
still and not wabbling about
like cork in a pond. That's
the best thing to do, I say, but
what most do in their deSpera-
ton is to hit the ball harder
and harder and get themselves
tighter and tighter.
Most faults among golfers
are due to bad grips and miser-
able foot action. The weight
too often is much too far for
ward instead of being back on
the heels. It is much easier to
maintain balance with the
weight back. If the left hand
and the left foot are allowed to
start together there will be less
slicing which is still the biggest
woe of the duffer. And most
slicing is caused by a lack of
footwork."

Costly Quest

It has cost the world bill

the Chinese philosopher to
find out which horse in selected
groups could run faster than the
rest. ,
That curiosity still exists, and
horsemen today will watch the
performance of Sun Egret over
q dry, fast track, with rapt at
tention. If he comes back to
win this afternoon in impressive
style, his rating as a possible
victor at Churchill Downs will
be enhanced. If he fails on the
dry track, or runs a liStless race,
he probably will be regarded
strictly as a mud horse.
On the proposition that good
horses run good races the writer
can see no great reason why a
dry, fast track should stop this
royalty bred colt which carries

They tramped the meadows and
the woods, the thickets and the

individual Instruction

One smart thing about Witty
is that he suits the instruction
and style Of play to the pupil,
depending on her muscle struc-
ture, height and the contours
Of her body. She may be
coached in a square, open or
closed stance. Her swing, too,
may be one Of three-flat,
medium and upright.
Witty won't be drawn into
any controversy on what the
feminine golfer should wear.
And quite right, too. If they
want to wear shorts, let 'em.
But light pullover with a
wide, flaring skirt has Mr.. Cox's
approval. Kindly note the
highly ridiculous golfing en-.
Semble worn by your sporting
reporter in the accompanying
pictures-high heels, and a silk
print. There you have an ideal
illustration Of what not to wear
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-04-16
NoUice's Errors

About the lessons Mr.. Cox is
firm. For the first three or four
he feels "a beginner would do
better to spend her time hitting
daisies" rather than a lab at
a ball. Try it. You'll really
concentrate on your swing then.
When your swings in the
groove, that's the time to
take a little jaunt around the
first nine with Witty and not
before.
His stepdaughter, Gloria
Rogers, is a tall, athletic girl Of
%. Father Witty made her
practice four months before
he'd let her lope around the
links. She doesn't have much
playtime off from her Job at
Movietone News. but when she
does get out, she usually makes
neat 80 on the Kenwood
course. The female golfing con-
tingent at Kenwood, while not
exactly in tears over WHY'S de-
parture, are still highly vocal
in their disappointment over
losing him. Little Mrs. H. Herb
ert Hughes had real feeling in
her voice when she moaned:
II hate to see him leave. I
think he's grand. I'd loathe
taking lessons from anyone
else"

Discussions Go On

On all sides we hear discus
sions Of the proposed match
race between War Admiral and
SeabiScuit. There is a dispo-
sition to attach great impor-
lance to the comparative times
made by the horses in their
starts on March 5.
On that day Seabiscuit was
beaten in a nodding finish in
2:01A by the lightly weighted
Stagehand.
That was in the Santa Anita
Handicap. War Admiral won
the Widener Handicap in 2:03A,
two full seconds slower.
Before you make too many
concessions to the Biscuit re-
member that he was as straight
as a string to the wire, trying to
win. The Admiral was buck
jumping. War Admiral had
faster time in his feet on March
5. How much faster time no
one ever will know, but for e
last half mile he was just out
for the ride.
The Yankees finally sold
Ernie Koy to the Brooklyn
Dodgers, and Larry "Houdini"
McPhail scored another ten
strike. Here is a right-handed
hitter-the Griffs admit that
they need right handers-eased
right out of the American
League. Koy is a great athlete.
He Is fast, a good thrower, and
a good fielder. He is a good
power hitter, but he was per.
mitted to get out Of the Ameri'
can League.
It may be, Of course, that the
Yankees did not care to sell Koy
to an American League club.
Such players frequently come
back and haunt you" to quote
George weiss as we talked a few
nights ago down in Charlotte.
