4 Feu Methods

Just what does Champion Wood
mean by simpler or more direct
methods?
I'm the first place" Craig said,
II can give you only brief outline
here. / expect to take the matter
up in much greater detail later on.
Zone main point is the matter of
how the clubs face comes through
the ball. There was 3 day in golf
when everything was pronation and
the so-called open face. l am now a
firm believer In swinging through
the ball with q squared or closed
face-which simply means keeping
the club face square to the line of
flight.
II am also firm believer now in
putting the main burden on the
hands, wrists and arms-not the
hips or the body. The less work the
latter do, the better off you are.
"Just watch Byron Nelson, in my
opinion the finest golfer we have
from tee to green. See how simple
his swing looks. It seems to be
all hands and arms controlling the
face of the club.

SPEAKING OF
SPORTS
By ROBERT McSHANE
Released BY Western Newspaper Union

IN SELECTING Joe DiMaggio as
the American leagues most valu-
able player for l94l, the Baseball
Writers Association of America hon.
ored an athlete whose name will be
remembered as long as baseball is
played.
The smuggling outfielder for the
New York Yankees, who set the
baseball world on fire with record
string of hits in Sc consecutive
games last season, was similarly
h0n0red in 1889. Last years most
valuable player was not in the run
ming for this years award. Hank
Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers,
first choice of the writer's in 1910,
spent most Of the 1941 season in the
army and had no opportunity to re-
peat.
During his six-year career with
the Yankees, Joe never has hit low
er than 1923, never has totaled less
than 20 home runs and never has
batted in fewer than 125 runs. He
batted 357 in l39 games in l941.
His consecutive hitting streak this
season started May Is with single
off Edgar Smith of the Chicago
White Sox and continued until July
IS when the string was broken by
Cleveland Pitchers AL Smith and
Jim Bagby. o
The selection wasn't a simple
matter. After all, Bob FeIler's rs
pitching victories for the Cleveland
Indians were high in the league.
BOst0n's Ted williams outstripped
Cecil Travis Of Washington, his
nearest rival for the batting title,
by AZ points. Williams hit .4O6.
Fifteen of the "a committeeman
for the baseball writer's cast first
place votes for Joe and the other
nine approved him for second Eight
committeeman nominated Williams
for first, IA for second and two for
third. Teller was named by IA for
third place, six for fourth, one for
fifth, two for sixth and one for sew
enth.
DiMaggio played for the San
Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast
league for three full seasons and
part of 1882. He was sold to the
Yankees for $4,000 and five players
in 1884 but did not join the New
York club until two years later.
He has been q member of the Amer
lean league All-Star game squad
every year since he came to the
majors.
Though the price paid for Joe
wasn't peanuts, the Yankees con-
slider it one of the best investments
ever made by the club. His value
to the world champions can't be
measured solely by statistics. His
56-game hitting streak meant q
great deal more than is evidenced
by the record book.

HOW TO DELIVER A STRAIGHT
BALL-The straight ball is naturally
the easiest to roll and can be more
readily controlled.
When you start your delivery of a
straight ball, your thumb is pointed
directly at the headpin. When re-
leasing the ball. do not turn or twist
your fingers. At all times refrain
from putting your full effort in
your delivery. Swing your arm
from the shoulder freely. remaining
as relaxed as possible to keep from
forcing. A forced ball is likely to
be what bowlers call a dead ball"
Remember to roll your ball down
the alley. Do not pitch it through
the air to land on the alley several
yards beyond the foul line.
In swinging into your delivery Of
a straight ball. hold it as close to
your right leg cleft leg il you're
left-handedD as possible, and re-
lease IT directly at the pins; that is.
your swing should be on a line be.
tween the spot where the ball hits
the alleys and the headpin. Exag-
gerate your follow-through with your
arm TO assure positive direction.

Trying for a shorter cut to lower
scoring" Wood said. I'VE began to
find that one answer was the
squared or shut face. One excep.
ton to this is Ben Hogan, who takes
a much deeper or fuller swing than
anyone else. Ben weighs only 1875
pounds, so he has to use a much
longer arc to get those big drives.
And distance of the tee means q
lot in golf today. You can't keep
using number two irons and number
four woods trying to hit a green
against an opponent using number
ave and four irons

In the Public Schools of Omaha,
it Is required to take some fer

However they do not require one
to take music. Since music Is the
most pleasurable of all the arts one
finds it difficult to understand
why music is not in the required
list. 1t seems that too much
stress is put on Academic subjects
and none on the cultural ones If
it is necessary for n to learn TO
speak a new language, which a
survey shows only 1 out of every

some stress ought to be put on
