Nelson Is Voted by Pros
As Stroiehtest Hitter

In locker room parade I disCov-
cred that most of the pros rate
Byron Nelson. the transplanted
Texan, as the straightest hitter Of
the lot.
Nelson" Leo DIegel explained.
fuses less wrist cooking than most
OF the Others. In fact, he has only
limited wrist action at the top of
the swing. His left wrist almost is
in a straight line before he starts
his downswing. He leaves less room
for error.
For example, I asked Byron to
hit a few wooden shots He dropped
three or four balls on the ground
all on close lies-and then took out
his driver. He hit four in a row
around $50 yards and all four might
have come from a rife. There is
such thing as using too much
wrist cooking or wrist bending.
Those wrists must be firm. especially
the left wrist. at every part of the
swing. Nelson is a marvel with a
brassie or with long iron.
His wrist action is sounder.'

BY WALTER MeCALLUM.

Feminine golfers of the Capital,
looking ahead to the opening of the
links season three months ahead.
have before them today a set of
stringent rules for the team matches
modelled along United States Golf
Association lines, and amended to
conform with the local situation.
Strict and unyielding in some in
stances, the new regulations, drawn
up by women's committee headed
by Mrs. G. E. Stratemeyer of Con-
gressional and Columbia, now are
before the players in the annual
team matches and will come up
for final action at an Executive
Committee meeting of the Women's
District Golf Association at Ken
wood January 15
At the same time Mrs. Walter L.
Weible, president of the women's
organization, announced the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Myron Davy of
Congressional as intercity team cap
tain, with Mrs. Walter r. Stokes of
Manor as assistant captain. Mrs
Davy also has submitted series of
suggestions as to future matches be-
tween Washington and women from
other cities which will come before
the Executive Committee. Chief of
these suggestions is one that would
eliminate the Observation-Disclosures
phia team match, as such, and pro-
vide in its place match between a
team drawn from Washington and
Baltimore under the banner of
the Maryland State Golf Associa-
ton and one from the Pennsyl-
vania Golf Association. Serving with
Mrs. Stratemeyer on the Washing
ton Team Match Committee are Mrs.
William E. Hall of Columbia, Mrs.
Davy and Mrs. Harvey j. Cooper of
Kenwood.
Matches Start April 25.
Seeking to avoid the frequent
postponements of last spring the
committee recommends that the in
terclub matches start on April 25
and be played on the scheduled
dates without any postponements
for any cause Other recommended
tions follow:
Teams will play under the best
ball Nassau system of scoring. with
each team to consist of six players,
placed strictly according to handi-
caps. If players play out of posi-
tions assigned them by their handi-
caps. the points must be given to
the opponents.
All first teams will play at scratch.
To this the Stratemeyer committee
appended a suggestion that first
teams play each other twice. and
that if a tie occurs at the seasons
end the same players must play.
First teams will number women
with handicapS from scratch to IL,
except in cases of clubs which have
| only five members in this category,
in which case they may draft a
player with handicap up to IA to
fill out the team
Second and third teams will play
with association handicaps, with
the number of strokes to be given
to be exactly half the combined
handicaps Of the players, including
fractions.
1t is in the eligibility section of
the proposed regulations that the
strictest rules prevail. Should any
player be absent for more than two
consecutive matches" says the re-
port, "tfe entire team will be in
eligible for further team competi-
ton for the rest of the season. There
can be no substitutes. and the play
ers named at the beginning of the
matches must play through all con-
tests. except in cases where players
lower their handicaps, or handi-
