change in the rules for tomor-
rows game-A- ball caught on the
first bounce is considered an out.
That was the major league rule
one time so it's not so far out of
line.
Every member of the leg am
putee team was star ball
player in civilian life. Pfc. Fred
HenkeS also played football. win
ning-a letter at Minnesota before
going into the army. He lost his

All Are Heroes

By LEO MACDoNELL

The practice of referring 10 out

out with the beginning OF the war
No more do you call a ninth in
ming rally a courageous perform
ance. Nor do we talk OF the do or
die stand Of a football team on
its goal line.
The war brought out too many
examples-of human endurance and
fortitude that will live IN the
memories Of man forever.
But tomorrow there viii be an
athletic event and every partlcl-
nant can be called a hero. And
every move they make on the
field can be called courageous.
A couple of hundred patients at
Percy Jones Hospital are taking
part in a Purple Heart Field Day

Serve Many Purposes

Sports serve many purposes lot
the wounded veterans. They take
the hovs outside in the sunshine
during what would otherwise be
very dull periods.
Sports teach the boys how bet
ter 10 overcome their handicap.
They learn TO run on an artificlal
leg. They learn how to SWIM with
but one arm.
Some day these accomplish
ments may be more than sport
for them. They may be most use
ful in a dangerous spot.
Sports are utilized at Percy
Jones even for bed patients. These
men learn 10 do sit-ups and Vari-
Gus arm exercises on cornpeu-
tive basis.
There will be prizes for the
best showing rlade by the bed pa
tients during the Purple Heart

pect every reader who has re-
ceived my free diagram explain
ing the correct stances for every
club, TO detect this flow.
The ball in each picture Is po-
sitioned too far forward. For cor
rect position. this ball should be
moved to the players right about
three inches. That would bring II
about two inches forward Of CEN
ter between the players heels.
In this correct position, the club
will contact the ball Just as the
clubhead has reached the low
point in the swing. This would
put the golf face on the ball cor
rectly for long straight fight. But
positioned in the way shown by
these pictures would very likely
produce a topped shot.
