PAUSE IN SWING
BIG GOLF FACTOR
Runyan Emphasizes Delay
at Top Helps Keep Ball
in FairWay.
By. WALTER McCALLUM.

Paul Runyan. the 145-pound P. G.
A. champion. has done a lot Of damage
to lot Of the popular conceptions of
golf as it is played bv the orthodox
swingefs You couldn't find anywhere.
for example. bigtime champ who
pivots up on his left toe on the back
swing or one who swings his head
cut of the line. if you regard Jim
Barnes idea that the head is the
anchor of the swing as the proper
thing
But Paul, even though he isn't
strictly orthodox. has added one b g
item to the manner of playing cham
pionship golf Paul has emphasized
the momentary pause of the club and
hands at the top of the backswing
more than any champion in recent
years, has converted the pause into
something that counts heavily and has
a lot Of observers thinking that per-
haps the pause at the top is one of
the more important mechanical phases
Of the game which they've been over
looking.
Gives Left Arm Control.
Il always have contended." said
Fred Mcleod. that a momentary
pause at the top Of the backswing is
fundamentally important 1t enables
the player to get his weight started
forward. it lets the left arm take con-
troll on the downswing. and it gives
the left side of the body time to get
to work.
THE left side is thrown completely
out of kilter when the downswing be-
comes sudden heave and a lurch.
But that pause at the top of the
downswing lets the left side start to
work. puts the left arm into action
and. in fact. gives the entire body ma
chinery chance to get punch into the
shot. Runyan has used it to greater
effect than any champion playing the
game today"
But Fred overlooked one bet. Fred
you know. has been sweet for years on
Macdonald Smith. the Carnoustie
Scot. who should have won all the
major titles and hasn't yet grabbed
one. Mac Smith is one guy who uses
the pause at the top of the backswing
to even greater effect than Runyan.
Mac, in fact. was the pioneer in the
noticeable pause at the top.
Now Seen as Fundamental.
Watch him play and you can see
it in all his shots. Even on the put
ting green he stops that putting blade
at the top of the swing. But Run
yam. the guy who walloped Sammy
Snead by the biggest margin in the
history OF the P. G. A. championship
final round, has brought the pause
again before students of golf form as
links fundamental that can't be
overemphasized.
Next time you find your tee shots
spraying into the rough, try pausing
momentarily at the top. Give your
left side and left arm time to 70 to
work. You'll find it will help.

all-time record of 80 shots for the
championship course of the club. We
don't believe any golfer in America
has come near that mark, no matter
how many years he has played single
course. In that stretch of rs years
Freddie has bagged two aces, has done
IL eagles on that all-time record card
and has played the par-5 twelfth hole
in two strokes.
He's had SO many deuces on
holes like the second and seven
teenth that he doesn't talk
about them any more.
Here is F'red's all-time record score
against par for the course:
Out-Par - 444 354 434-35

In-Par -- AS 344 344-35-7C
Mcleod 232 l22 l23-18-3s
You'll note that Freddie hasn't
scored eagle deuces on the sixth, ninth,
eleventh or eighteenth.
"On all these holes I've been
very close" he says.
"On the sixth, ninth and eighteenth
I've found my second shot sitting
right behind that pin, in spot where
it must have hit the cup and spun
around behind it. / haven't come
really close on the eleventh, but l
sure wish could get deuce on that
final hole Mr.. Hinshaw and King
Cornwell both have had deuces on that
eighteenth. but haven't. However
that 80 isn't bad-not bad"
Double Eagle on 18th.
Fred holed the long twelfth in two
shots about Is years ago, with a full

The hole measures a little more than
500 yards. He has been home in two
shots on the 567-yard fifth hole. but he
hasn't come close to holing his sec
ond shot.
That score of 81 shots under
par. We think, is the finest all
time ringer score made on
championship course by any
golfer in the land.
OF course Fred has the advantage
OF mole than quarter century of golf
at the one club, but still it's quite a
score. Lots of pros and plenty of

James Arnold Memorial Fund Announces First Audrd Today

Raymond Coburn of 83 East Main street was judged the win ner of the first award to re made under the James Arnold Memorial fund for the Democrat Newspaper boy who show the most aptitude il his work. Due to the difficulty of picking one boy from over two hundred for exceptional ability each boy was required to submit letter of not over two hundred wor's in which he set forth what he was learning that would be of benefit to hiEa in later life. The judging was done by William B. Elwell, vice-principal of Crosby high school who in addition to picking Coburn the winner also awarded honorable mention to the following: Paul Beliveau, Stanley Turek, Frank Rossi, Edward zukauskas, Furlan Pri1nus, Don- aid Harris, and Anthony Jaku- bauSka-.
 The James Arnold Memorial fund is sum of money set aside in trust by the grandparents of Jimmie" as he was known to hundreds of newspaperboys with whom Ee came in contact. The annual award will be ten dollt 5, and will be given at Christmas time each year. Jimmie was in his senior year in Crosby high school and was to have graduated with honors in June of this year when he died. MT. and Mrs. James M. Sullivan of Franklin street, Jim mics" grandparents were very gratif1ed to see the interest dis played in this, the first awarding.
 The winning letter reads as fol- lows:
 Although I did not have the good fortune of knowing "Ji1nmie" Arnold personally, I have heard many favorable comments about his character and disposition. Therefore will give my opinion of the advantages of being a Dem ocrat newspaperboy, which I think would be in harmony with his.
 1. A newspaperboy has the ben ef1it of plenty of fresh air ax,d ex- ercise, carrying his papers from the Democrat office to their des- tination.
 2. He becomes familiar with all types of people, and learns the art of being courteous to all, no mat ter what the circumstances ay be.
 3. H. gains a great deal of ex- perience h keeping track of his accounts and in dealing diplomat ically with his customers regard ing collections. There is also quite a little experience in salesman ship, in the newspaperboy's ef- forts to get new customers.
 4. He obtains a feeling of in- dependence. in providing money for himself.
 5. He makes friendships with the other newsboys, who are, as a general run, "a pretty swell bunch of fellows"

is possible to buy all kinds of audits. You can buy an audit which merely takes a prepared set of figures and checks on the subtraction and addition, and then certifies to the world that these figures balance one another. This is the kind of an audit that Philip MuSica otherwise known as F. Donald Coster, bought. All he asked the auditing firm to do was to see that all the fictitious fig ures which he supplied on state ment had been added and sub tracted correctly. The firm did just that and nothing more.
 Of course you can buy another kind of audit but that is more ex- pensive. In buying an audit you can get the signature of relia- ble auditing firm, and the benefits of that auditing firms prestige.
 Auditing reports however are not worth the paper they are written on. They are absolutely no barometer by which the stock buy ing public can be guided. It is a fact that every large company, every government have had their own auditors. Take the Mer- ritt Parkway case as an example. The state auditors were asleep on the job. They intimated nothing was wrong. the hige prices which the state paid for land for the right of way for the Parkway did not cause them to become Suspi- cious. The city government in Waterbury had its auditors yet it is alleged that city off, cialS defrauded the city of over million dollars. In this partic- ular case the charges have yet to be proven.
 Protests Futile
 It is quiet clear also that the stock exchange protestations are a joke and are absolutely worth less as safeguard for the public. This fact was brought to light by the McKeSSon and Robbins scandal.
 Add to all this confusion and chaos that it will be the lawyers Gas usuaD who will really reap rich, and a very rich harvest it will be, out of the complicated and crumbled structure of a once powerful firm. For it must be remembered that every dollar lawyer gets out of the case (and they will take plenty) will be dollar taken out of the pockets of the stockholders who already have been fieeced.
