Two Hot Scoring Rounds
Recalled by Ouimet.

I asked Francis to tell me about
his hottest scoring rounds.
Il can remember better" he said,
many rounds where I wasn't so
hot. They are in the majority. But
IN championship competition I
should say two spots I remember
best came along in my match with
Chick Evans at Oakmont and
George Voigt at Five Farms, Balti-
more.
LAS you know, Oakmont is a ter
rife course, one of the hardest in
golf. In that match I had just come
away from bed of flu. and Chick
was limping with rheumatism. But
I happened to start with five IS
In the first seven or eight holes. and
even that wasn't enough to pick up
any big lead. At Baltimore against
Voigt was out in 30, but as I recall
It I played six holes in one under
even 3s. And that was over a
championship test.
Golf is that way" Francis said.
"When you get hot, you can do
anything. When you are not, you
can't do anything"
I recall the time I saw Craig
Wood shoot an 88 in the Masters
at the Augusta National. in the
first round, and follow this with a
Ct, 68. His first two rounds were
81 strokes apart, and Craig Wood
Is one of the best of the lot.

Vardon Prize Missed

Stroke Margin Gets Him

Famed Golf Trophy
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 16-"Lord"
Byron Nelson, he of the poetic golf
swing, headed westward today with
the $4,000 top Miami open check
but bereft of the priced Vardon
Trophy.
Nelson played 70 holes of golf in
nine strokes less than par for 27l
that gave him a final one-shot
margin in the $4,000 Miami Open
but the years honors for consistency
went to little Ben Hogan of White
Plains, N. Y.
Hogan finished third, four strokes
behind Nelson, and his $1,000 prize
ran his total earnings for the year
to s10,644. Nelson was next at
1858 and Sam Snead of Hot
Springs, Va, third with S9,206.
The Vardon Trophy, awarded an
nually by the Professional Golfers
Association to its most consistent
member, changed from Nelson's
hands to Hogan's.
Clayton Heafner of Linville, N. c.,
pushed into second place, might
have won here with a little better
luck. Three of his puts trimmed
the cup down the home stretch as
he finished with a 68-his fourth
subpar score-for 272. Some con-
ISOLATION was his $3.50 check.
Hogan'S closing 69 gave him 275
and third place, Snead and Willie
Goggin of Miami sharing the fourth
spot at 277. Each won $3.50.
Mike Turnesa Of New York COL
lected the $500 Smith prize with
278. Claude Harmon of Orlando.
Fla, and Ben Loving of Springfield.
Mass, tied at 279 for $3.50 each.

Head Control Regarded
As Most Importont.

Head control is the most i'm
portant of all. 1t isn't so much a
matter of looking at the ball. The
head must keep the entire swing
in its right groove For example,
the average tendency is to sway the
upper side of the body This can't
happen if the head is held in place
throughout the swing.
IF the head doesn't move. then
the rest of the body must also stay
in place, except, of course. the hip
shift and the shoulder turn. If
you keep the head fixed as an
anchor, put the hips to work, and
take the natural shoulder turn, you
can't go far wrong.
And that head must stay where
It is even after the clubhead has
reached the ball Did you ever
notice how Jerry Travers, Walter
Hagen, Bobby Jones and other stars
always tilted their chins slightly to
the right, even before starting the
backsWing? They wanted to be sure
their heads were fixed through the
entire swing.
This isn't easy to do 1t is some
thing that demands both concen-
tration and will power. But it is
absolutely necessary to anything ap-
preaching good golf.

Ouimet Bases Good Golf
On Three Fundamentals
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Dec. 16
N.ANAO There may be snow
drifts through New England and
icioles hanging from the fir ever
green's of Minnesota and Michigan,
but don't forget there are not only
thousands, but hundreds of thou
sands, headed for st. Petersburg,
Miami, the Gulf and Southern Cali
fornia on their way back to golf,
dreaming of better form.
With Christmas approaching at
reindeer speed, we suggested to
Francis Ouimet, the eminent Bos-
tonian who has been week-ending
in Beverly Hills, that he present a
yuletide gift to his many admirers.
My suggestion was that Prof.
Ouimet give us his three main fun
damentals of golf.
Il don't believe this would leave
many stocking holders satisfied"
Ouimet said, but I'll do my best.
Il should say they are proper hip
action. head control, and the delay
in hitting from the top of the swing.
The hips in golf are far more
important than many believe them
to be. The first movement should
be a lateral hip shift from left to
right. This comes before the turn.

Founder in Stadium
That Puts Premium
On Defense Play
Present No Individual
Stor; Catcher PytIok
Sets Notable Mark

The spacious lawn of Griffith Sta
dium places a high premium on de-
fensive ability and official Ameri-
can League fielding averages, re-
leased today, reveal that the Wash
ington Senators ranked next to
last as fielding unit. Thus it be-
comes clearer why they finished
seventh in the 1910 race.
Some notable defensive records
were compiled during the season,
notably by Catcher Frankie Pytlak
then of the Indians and now of
the Red Sox, and by Rookie Short
stop Lou Boudreau of Cleveland.
The Mats, however, figured in none
of the fielding glory.
AS a team Washington tied De-
troit's pennant-winning Tigers in
average, each having 1858 Detroit,
however, rated slightly above the
Mats in total chances and putouts,
thus leaving the Griffmen with only
a clear-cut margin over the last
place Philadelphia Athletics.
Zeke Finishes Last.
Individually none of the Senators
was outstanding. Zeke BOnura,
who played more games at first base
than any of the half dozen players
used on the bag during the cam
paign, finished last as George Nc
Quinn of the Browns retained his
fielding lead with an average of
992 for $50 games. McQuinn also
equalled the major league record
for participating in most double
plays as a first baseman with l57-
a record he now holds with Lou
Gehrig of New York. The latter
made the record two years ago
Although Jimmy Bloodworth of
the Mats fielded .978, the champion
defensive second sacker was Bobby
Doerr, who averaged 977 while
playing Isl games to Bloodworth's
96. Doerr had a wide margin in
chances accepted, being the faster
of the two players.
Despite his sometimes brilliant
play at third base. Cecil Travis did
not rank among the leaders. Har-
land Cliff of the Browns, with a
.959 mark for lat games, was the
champ. Travis average was .939
for 113 games.
Pytlak's Mark Is Tops.
Four players played shortstop for
the Griffs and none was close to
the top. Jimmy Pofahl had 952 for
ll2 games as against Boudreau's
968 for 155. The others. Sherard
Robertson, Charley Colbert and
Travis, were far down. In the out
field Johnny Welaj topped the Mats,
followed by George Case, Gerald
Walker and Buddy Lewis, but the
leader was Walter Judnich of the
Browns, who finished with .989
percentage for 1873 games.
Pytlak's record of 57l chances ac-
cepted without an error was an as
tonishing streak which ran from
September 10, 1898, to September
18, 1910. This broke the former
mark of 452 consecutive chances
without an error set by Gabby
Hartnett. For the 1910 campaign
alone Pytlak f1elded .996 for So
games, accepting 265 chances with
one error. Rick Ferrell, the Wash
ington stylist, finished with $50,
and Jake Early, his understudy.
with 969.

all the honors in the nationwide

distance sent in their photos ac-

and records of achievements.
Of course, Jeni's wide experience
in pictures made at Paramount Fox
carried great, deal of weight in
her favor, but a close contender for
the honor was Florence O'Brien
who as "Sulen.ai" starred for a
whole year in the stage play RUN
Little Chillun." She, however, was
given the part of Rose" a vamp-
